Media browser in pages

Hi, I have my iPhoto library on an external firewire drive. When I am in Pages 08 and try to access images through the media browser, it tells me there are images in the library, but says I do not have permission to move them into a document. The thumbnails show up as '! marks'. Any ideas?
thanks

If anyone cares (besides me) I figured it out! If you have multiple iPhoto libraries and you use iPhoto Library Manager, make sure you have the correct library selected within the IPLM app.
YEA ME!

No photos in media browser in Pages

Since I updated my iPhoto software to 1.0 on my Mac Book Air (OX S Yosemite), my photos are no longer in my media browser in Pages. How do I transfer my iPhoto Library to the media browser so I can drag them into documents?

The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

Aperture has come back to the Media Browser in Pages and Keynote

Lokk for the iWork Software update. Keynote 6.2, Pages 5.2

I wondered why I got a greenie
My Macs are all communcating well over my LAN, and I choose and export the minimal images I ever need from my Alpha Aperture Library from the nMP to a folder on my old MP for use in documents created in Pages.
I am needing to address printing from the nMP. Currently it is positioned fartherest (more than the length of the USB cable) from the printer in my office, and I photo print awkwardly with my old MP, having to transfer from that Aperture Library connected to the nMP. Network printing has not automatically provided the features I am accustomed to using with photo printing. Primary printer is an Epson Stylus Photo R1900.
I transition some things slowly

Added photo to iphoto but doesn't show up in media browser?

I have added some photos to an event in iphoto...then they do not show in media browser in pages...any clue why...has worked quite a few times before

The sync is 2 way. If you created items in the calendar on the phone, however, BEFORE you set up the sync relationship, those items are stored in the calendar on the phone only.
Go into the calendar and tap the "Calendars" button in the upper left. You will see lists of all the calendars. On my iPhone are those that live exclusively on the phone. You will also see From My Mac (or something similar) as well as any that are synced with Exchange accounts, iCloud, etc.
Now go to Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars. Scroll down to Calendars and make sure the Default Calendar is set to the correct calendar. I don't believe there is any easy way to move all your entries from the local calendar to the one that syncs with iCal, but you can go into each entry and specify which calendar it belongs to.

Can't drag folders in Media Browser

It says everywhere (in the manuals) that if you open Media Browser (in Pages, KeyNote etc), you can drag in it from the finder your folders of images or sounds or movies. I try to do it, but when I click the folder in the finder, Media Browser disappears... Anybody can kindly help? MTIA

Many thanks for yur help.
But if this is the case, somebody should at least correct the Help files where everybody can read:
*To add another folder to the Media Browser, do any of the following:*
To add a folder containing audio files, click Audio in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
To add a folder containing photos, click Photos in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
To add a folder containing movies, click Movies in the Media Browser, and then +drag the folder you want from the Finder to the Media Browser+.
Or possibly we +did NOT pay+ for the Help Files?

Media browser has no photos in 4.3

Did the new Photos app break the media browser in Pages 4.3? I no longer see any photos, only Photo Booth is listed in the Photos tab. I tried rebooting my system, but nothing appears. Anyone else experiencing this?

Iphoto in pages/keynote/iweb media browser

Hi, I recently deleted and created a new iphoto library. After doing so, iweb, Pages, and Keynote is giving the endless spinning beach ball when I try to access the "photo" portion of the media browser. iDVD and iMovie continues to work fine.
All software have been updated. I've already repaired permissions, trashed the aforementioned programs com.apple.~plists. I've posted this in the iPhoto forum because I believe my problem is related to the deletion/creation of the iphoto library. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance.

After posting, I did a little more searching and found an answer. It sounds strange but it seems that by having certain types of movies in the Movie folder will cause the media browser to crash. When I deleted my old iPhoto library, I moved my digicam movie files from iphoto to my Movie folder, and apparently that was the culprit.

IWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 can't load iPhoto images in media browser

Ever since yesterday, my iWeb 09, Pages 09, and Keynote 09 have been experiencing problems loading iPhoto 09 images in the media browser. I have no problems loading my audio files, movie files, and widgets, but when it comes to iPhoto picture files, the system just hangs. Luckily, it doesn't crash; it just says "Loading iPhoto images" forever.
I'm guessing that the problem is with iPhoto 09, because the media browser has no problems loading my Aperture picture files.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can get iWeb, Pages, and Keynote to load my iPhoto pics in the media browser?
Thanks!

1. Quit iPhoto.
2. Go to your Pictures Folder (or where ever you have your Library) and find the iPhoto Library there (Your Donor Library).
3. Right Click on it, and from the resulting menu select ‘Show Package Contents’. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed.
4. Find the following files
AlbumData.xml
AlbumData2.xml
and move them to the desktop.
5. Close up the Library and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild those files which are key to sharing.
Then restart the other apps and see does that help.
By the way: where is your Library? On the Start Up Disk? On an external?
Regards
TD

Differences in Media Browser behavior in iWeb and Pages

In Pages, you can drag any folder into the media browser to add content other than that in iPhoto's library (if you have photos or scans in other folders) or outside of iTunes (if you have audio files not in iTunes but in some other folder), for example.
However, this can't be done in iWeb... (or I'm missing something?).

I forgot to mention I was talking about Pages 2. Actually, I tried Keynote 3, and the media browser behaves as in Pages 2. I believe Apple left in iWeb 1.0 the old code for the media browser found in previous versions of iWork.
Hopefully they will release an update soon. I would certainly like to have the flexibility of inserting any graphic/sound/media from the media browser, not only those I have in my iPhoto or iTunes folders.

ITunes missing from Media Browser -- "open itunes to populate list"

I am on a MacBook Pro 10.7.3 running GarageBand '11 6.0.4 and all of the sudden no tracks will display under Audio in the Media Browser (Photos and Movies still appear). No tracks from either iTunes or GB show up. This is confusing as I have been using GB to make podcast/music mixes for more than 5 years and I haven't changed any settings or done anything different, but now I get the message "open itunes to populate list" or "To see GB songs here, open GB to edit and save your music."
Also, for quite some time I have been unable to go the alternative route of dragging tracks directly from iTunes and dropping them on to the timeline in GB -- that used to work, but mysteriously stopped, so I am dependent on the Media Browser for importing music.
I read thru the forums and tried the advice given to someone this was happening to in Final Cut -- recreating iTunes .xml file. Did that, still no tracks display.
Other advice says to reinstall GB or iLife altogether -- I hope to avoid this, but if I need to go this route, how do I reinstall GB w/o a disk? Can I do it through App Store and will it recognize that I have already purchased it?
I am dying to be able to get back in to my music mix making in GB, so thanks in advance.

you can't, you'd need to find the DVD

no, it'll only recognize your purchase if it was through the app store

Media Browser not showing iTunes library

The media browser, which is a system-wide open dialogue feature in OSX has been failing to show the iTunes library in my main (but not admin) account. It shows photos and movies just fine, but nothing from iTunes. Garageband files yes, but iTunes library nope. For example if I wanted to add music to a slideshow I can pull down to iTunes but nothing is there. Same if I wanted to attach an .mp3 to an email, or add music to a movie. Same thing happens in Chrome, Pages, Numbers, Keynote, etc. Interesting, it is unique to this user account. I've tried it in another user account that has an iTunes library and it worked just fine. Any idea on how to fix this? I'm guessing there's a preference somewhere I could delete that could rebuild it. I don't want to trash any iTunes library files as I have spent years building playlists, metadata, stats, etc. Thanks for your help.
I'm using the latest versions of OSX, Safari/Chrome, iTunes, the iLife '11 suite, and the iWork suite.

Nobody?
Weirdly enough, I have to add it works in a few select 3rd party apps, like Audacity. However, it still does not work in any Apple apps nor the trial of Capo, a music app, which is why I'm looking for a fix.

ITunes & iPhoto on external drive not showing in Media Browser

I moved my iTunes and iPhoto libraries to a NAS device on separate hard drives. Independently they work and I can access them through their respective programs, HOWEVER, when I want to use them in Keynote, Pages, iMovie, etc. they don't show up in the media browser. I have a couple of questions...
1. Will the media browser work with these libraries on external sources?
2. Do I need to set up some sort of alias on my Mac HD to point the media browser to those libraries?
3. If so...how?
Hoping someone has the answer, or at least can point me in the right direction...

I am not sure if they will work off a NAS, but I don't see why not. (But iMovie Events will not work off a NAS)
See this post and focus in on the part about trashing the iApps plist. I would try to trash it and then open up iPhoto and iTunes to repopuplate it. Then try to see if the Media Browser works in iMovie. You should not need to trash the iMovie plist, but it would do no harm if you did.

Suddenly Missing Images and Media Browser iPhoto issues in 1.1.2

Using iWeb 1.1.2. All of the sudden when I open my website in iWeb, many of the images are now displaying as envelopes with question marks. When I click on them in the inspector it shows them linked to the correct image file in iPhoto. At the same time, now when I try to drag photos from my iPhoto library onto the page I get a hyperlink instead of the actual photo. This just started happening (possibly since updating to 1.1.2, since I haven't used iWeb in awhile).
Thanks,
Mike

Correction - when I try to drag photos from *the Media Browser* onto the page I get a hyperlink instead of the actual photo. And this is not a Photo layout...it's just a normal page based on a template.

Media browser should open a folder, but stucks, and giving an endless spinning ball

media browser should open a folder, but stucks, and giving an endless spinning ball. How can I reset at startup Pages?

What have you got in the folder?
It may simply be large and numerous, with possibly graphics that need to be converted like .eps, .ai, .bmp etc and it takes time to open, particularly if you don't have enough memory on a slow machine.
