New iMovie cannot find iPhoto Pictures

Hello Community! After the update to the new iMovie, all pictures in my project mediathek are gone. He keeps telling me that he can't find the file path. In the old iMovie it still works. I imported the pictures from my iphoto mediathek. Any ideas ? All my projects are heavily damaged! :-(

If I were you, I would continue to edit existing projects in the old iMovie, and only use the new iMovie for creating new projects.
Events come over to the new iMovie really easily but lots of people are having problems bringing Projects over.

  • IMovie cannot find iPhoto

    When I opened iMovie 6 this last time and I clicked on the "photo" tab within the "media" library there is nothing there. Usually there are my iPhoto libraries and a bunch of thumbnails. This time there is just a message that reads: "Open iPhoto2 or later or Aperture1.5 or later to see photos from your iPhoto or Aperture library in this list."
    I have opened iPhoto and nothing happens. Nor can I drag photos from iPhoto to iMovie. I posted this question in the iMovie forum and I followed all the steps offered to me. Unfortunately the problem still exists and I am getting extremely frustrated. Is it possible it is a iPhoto problem instead?
    Please help! I need this fixed for a Christmas present I have been planning all year! (I've been taking photos and movies of my nephew with plans of making a movie of his first year and now I am desperate!)

    This problem is often caused because the albumdata.xml file (in your iPhoto Library Folder) is not working correctly. This is the file the other apps read to integrate with iPhoto.
    Some possible causes:
    1. Using non-ascii characters in your Album Names or Keywords

  • Cannot find my "Pictures folder" in Finder and was using the "all Images" selection to fiddle with my pictures.  Now I think I may have screwed iPhoto up

    Hi jamesxio,
    Do you still have the Pictures folder in your home folder? If not, create a new folder in your home folder and name it Pictures. Make sure the iPhoto Library folder is in the Pictures folder.
    Now launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed until you get a message screen. Choose to open another library and navigate to and highlight the iPhoto Library folder. Click the Open button.
    You didn't move anything around or rename anything in the iPhoto Library folder in the finder, did you?

  • I cannot find my pictures in iphoto after downloading and delating from memory card....

    I downloaded my pictures from memory card, and once it was done, iphoto asked me if I wanted to keep the pictures into the memory cart, I pressed no, and now I cannot find my pictures anywhere... Is there a way to find them back ?

    Hard to say
    Are they in last import?
    do not use your memory card until you resolve this - you may want to use software like Media Recover to recover the images on the card
    You can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
    For the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

  • Moved Itunes library now imovie cannot find the audio in my project

    I just moved itunes library from my external drive to an internal drive on my Mac laptop. Now iMovie cannot find the music tracks for my project. How do I tell iMovie where to look for the new location of iTunes library

    I'm the same as you with this one.
    I had to move my itunes library to a new hard drive because it was taking up too much space. Now my imovie projects can't find my itunes library. One sound track when I right clicked in imovie I had the option to find media so I just located the same file but in a new location. This, however, doesn't work for all audio in my many projects.
    I'm feeling very disheartened with the whole thing.
    Any help would be appreciated.

  • Finding iPhoto pictures

    How do I find iPhoto pictures when using an internet "search hard drive" option? For example, uploading photos to Shutterfly without using Shutterfly's upload program. I can always find photos I have exported to my desktop, but I cannot find photos within iPhoto library. What am I doing wrong? Thanks

    Hi Michael,
    It is really hard to find images by navigating the library in the Finder. It is best to share/export to the desktop, then navigate to the desktop to upload.
    shutterfly does have an iPhoto plugin for export/upload to online albums I find is very handy.

  • Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    Imovie cannot find songs in itunes

    You need to create a play list of songs that you would use for movies - mine is called Music for Movies.  Then when you click on the music icon (the first box in the line of 5 in the grey bar across the lower third of the screen) and a drop down menu will appear showing all your play lists.  Then simply drag and drop, but make sure that you hover over the video clip that you want to add the music to.  If you don't the music will be added to the start of your presentation.  You can always move the position afterwards. NOTE - if you want to add to your play list do it before you start your video editing as the list does not always update when I Movie. 

  • New imac--Cannot find imovie

    I bought a new imac over a month ago and i cannot find imovie. I have iDVD, itunes, iphoto but not imovie. did a search on finder and all and i cannot find it. Where could it be?

    That's strange. I thought all new iMacs had iMovie pre-installed and in the Applications folder as part of the iLife package. Mine did.
    Maybe for some reason it wasn't installed for you and you have to do from the installation disk. Failing that get back to where you bought it from and complain I guess.
    Hope you find it.

  • IPhoto cannot find older pictures in hi res

    After recent update(s) iPhoto '11 cannot find older photos in hi res. The thumbnails are still there but the original photos are not. At least not visible for iPhoto. Where do I find them? It doesn't help trying to use other libraries. Finder shows two identical iPhoto Libraries but none of them contain hi res pictures.

    That seems to suggest the possibility that the iPhoto preferences were set to run as a "referenced" library during that time?
    If you have the names of some of them you can try searching for them using  Find Any File.  FAF can search areas that Spotlight can't, like in packages, invisible folder, etc.
    Run a search on your boot drive first.  If no full sized photos with that name are found change the searched drive to your Time Machine drive and try again.  This search will much longer than on your boot drive do to the TM organization. 
    This can tell you if there's any copy of that photo in your TM.  If not there's nothing you can do. .

    Where can I find iPhoto on my new macbook pro?

  • IMovie cannot find my 13 files

    I uploaded 13 segments of video I shot this weekend into iMovie under a title, but when I click the title, the folder is empty. iMovie erased the movies from my desktop so I can't get to them.
    Where are they in iMovie?
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same problem... and I have not moved any of my files.  So the fact iTunes cannot find songs that it had previously played makes no sense to me. 

  • IMovie - cannot find different themes as shown in ap store

    My daughter has been wanting this ap forever. Finally she downloads it but she cannot find all the themes that it shows in the ap store description. We have gone under settings after creating a project, but can only find themese like CNN, travel, etc.  Does anyone know how we can find these themesÉ

    Yes it is compatible, but there is that rider at the bottom of the full description for the app, as I quoted above. It is very confusing!
    The app I have on my iPhone doesn't have the full capability as the app for an iPad (Pad as distinct from Pod). For example, the iPad version has waveforms for the audio track. This enables editing of soundtracks, such as fades and volume adjustments within the track.
    So, there are several "varieties" or "flavours" of iMovie for iOS, depending on which device you are using.

  • Cannot open iPhoto pictures in PSE12

    I have a Mac with OSX8 and have previously been using PSE9 without any trouble.  I've recently installed PSE12 but it cannot access the pictures in my iPhoto library for editing, even though I've changed the iPhoto settings to use PSE12 as the external editor.  When I right click a picture in iPhoto and then click "edit in external editor", PSE12 opens but the worksurface is empty, and I can't figure out how to open the picture for editing.  I have no problem editing photos that are on my desktop, so the problem seems to lie in communication between iPhoto and PSE12.  I never had this problem with PSE9.  How do I solve this?

    You have probably chosen the logical file instead of the correct one. You want to choose this file:

  • I downloaded my iphone to my pc but cannot find my pictures on my pc, what am I to do next? help?

    i downloaded my pics from my iphone to my pc.  I cannot find my pics on my pc.  What file should I be looking for?

    How did you copy them over ? On a PC you should be able to use the windows camera wizard to copy photos that you've taken with the phone to it, and by default I think that it will copy them to 'my pictures' under 'my computer'.
