No photos in the Media Browser (all iWork software)

In the new iWork the media browser keeps telling me that I have no pictures in my iPhoto library... any idea to solve this?

I just did a test in the Guest account with a test library and it seems that the problem can be caused by the file name for the photo file, including the extension.   If the file is named iPhoto Library.photolibrary, Pages shows the photos.  If it is called Aperture Library.aplibrary then Pages can't find the photos.
When I renamed an Aperture file, Aperture then created a blank library when I opened it.  I was able to open the renamed library in Aperture by choosing Switch to Other Library and then opening the renamed one.
I haven't tested this with the Aperture library full of photos because changing the name might cause other unexpected problems and I don't want to take the risk.
This seems to be a bug that Apple could fix fairly easily in an update so I'll wait for the fix.
Hope this helps.

  • How do I access photos via the Media browser in iPhoto '08?

    I have used Pages several times before for an in-house newsletter--with good success. My last newsletter was done in the version of Pages contained in iWork '06 and with photos contained in iPhoto library from iLife '06. Now I am using the version of Pages from iWork '08 and photos from my iPhoto library in iLife '08. When I am in Pages and open the Media Browser, I can see all the photos in various Events. How do I select/choose a particular photo within an Event and drag it to an image placeholder in my Pages document?

    My Media Browser shows Events or Images. See below and see if yours is the same:

    They will only be where you put them  If you are doing the very basics, then they will be on your computer and they will be in your backup copy of your computer.
    The itunes store is not global at all, never has been. You cannot redownload your content from another country.  You can only use the countrys itunes store for the country that you are physically located.

  • I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

    Probably because they don't accept that media.
    Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

  • Adding new images and files into the Media Browser?

    I am trying to put all my image files on my computer into iPhoto and having no luck- for whatever reason, iPhoto does like the format of my files, nearly all of which are .tifs.
    I'd like to get all the pictures into the media browser for Keynote so I can easily put images into presentations. This is mostly for making presentations for scientific talks of my data. A lot of images of tissues, blots, etc.
    Is there a way to get files/folders into the media browser and bypassing iPhoto?
    I can't get iPhoto (version 5) to work properly on my computer at all so I think I'm pretty fooked.

    Depending on what you want to do you can open any folder and drag photos from that folder into keynote without using iphoto. But that could be tedious if you want to insert a lot of photos. If you want only one photo per slide you can drag the photos (a bunch at a time) on the sidebar where you see the thumbnails of the slides and each photo will be placed on a page. The drawback with that is sometimes the order of the photos may have to be tweaked.

  • How can I see my Pictures folder in the Media Browser?

    This is something that doesn't only bug me in Pages, but also in many other applications, so if you have a solution that works for all media browsers, I would appreciate that.

    Thanks
    Returning to the PDF User Guide I found:
    +• Press the Command key, and then drag an image file from the Finder to the document window until you see the insertion point at the place where you want the image to appear. Release the image when you have placed it where you want it.+
    +• Click Media in the toolbar, click the Photos button in the Media Browser window, select the album where your picture is located, press the Command key, and then drag a thumbnail to the document window, releasing the image when the insertion point is at the place where you want the image to appear.+
    So, it seems that the fact that pictures which aren't in the iPhoto library doesn't appear in the Media browser is a deliberate feature.
    I will file a message about this subjet but I feel that the hope to get an enhancement is really small.

  • How do I change the default iPhoto library for the Media Browser?

    I have multiple Aperture/iPhoto Libraries. When I open the new Keynote and attempt to use the Media Browser to select a photo, the pictures the Media Browser displays are not from the Default Libary.
    Is there a way to change the default photo library that the Media Browser references?

    Hello danstat,
    Thank you for the question.  The Media Browser accesses iPhoto's last opened photo library.  To access that photo library through the Media Browser, quit Keynote, access that photo library in iPhoto, quit iPhoto, and relaunch Keynote. 
    You can access the an alternate photo library using these steps:
    To switch between photo libraries:
    Quit iPhoto.
    Hold down the Option key as you open iPhoto.
    Select the library you want to switch to.
    Click Choose.
    iPhoto '11: Create a new iPhoto library or switch between libraries
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2505
    Alternatively, you can drag the photo in directly to youre Keynote presentation from the iPhoto or Aperture windows. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Timecode in the media browser - Sony F55 Xavc

    Working in of PP CC with footage from the Sony F55 (4k Xavc codec) and timecode is not available in the media browser. The only work aounrd is to import ALL of the footage in the project. Any ideas on how to see timecode in the media browser so as to avoid import of masive amounts of footage?

    That's where I'm trying to change them. It doesn't allow for anything other than "XDCAM-HD", which doesn't have any timecode columns (it does have duration, but that doesn't help me at all).  Even if I change it something to like "AVCHD", which does have Start Timecode,  it defaults right back to XDCAM-HD.

  • Iphoto no longer opens in the media browser in iweb, iphoto no longer opens in the media browser in iWeb

    Hello,
    I am having several issues with Iphoto after upgrading to '11. I was able to use time machine to reload photos as the photos disappeared...basically it was a disaster. I am continuing to experience a lot of issues with Iphoto - it no longers opens in the media browser while I am working in Iweb. Videos are no longer uploaded in imovie from Iphoto. I have never had so many issues with Iphoto. Does anyone have any advice/help to offer. Thanks in advance for reading this and taking the time to respond.....

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Auditioning samples in the media browser?

    The media browser in Logic is great, the answer to a lot of my problems. However, when auditioning samples in an already busy project, it plays the sample through a random channel, providing no evidence as to which one, and applies all the effects of that channel.
    So i will be auditioning say for a kick and i'll be thinking 'these kicks sound a bit weak' then when i listen to them in finder they are massive but an eq or something is being applied from whatever channel in logic it has chosen to play through. easy enough if i could see which channel it was (though not ideal) i could just disarm all the effects of that channel, but only the master faders show any activity??

    45rpm wrote:
    There would normally be no EQ or effects on the prelisten channel strip, but it's possible that this channel strip is missing for some reason, and then some other strip would be used. But click the "All" button like Vacheto said, and watch for a meter lighting up in the Mixer window as you audition samples in the media browser. Then you'll know if Prelisten is being used, or some other channel strip.
    I'm sorry, but I what's the new you are trying to explain unless you repeat what I have said before - the is no additional of useful info !
    Such posts of you only high-jack the useful posts of the other participants in this forum and make it difficult to read or you just spend the users time - keep in mind mate !

  • Moved iPhoto library - how do I re-direct the media browser?

    I've moved my iPhoto library to an external disk - how do I re-direct the iWeb media browser so that it looks in the right place (external drive) rather than still looking in the original location?
    Thanks!

    I remember someone else trying this...moving their iPhoto library to an external drive. It works fine for iPhoto but not for the Media Browser, unfortunately. I think this person tried to create aliases and some other workarounds. But to no avail. You are probably better off not using the Media Browser anyway and instead exporting from iPhoto so that you can scale down your photos BEFORE using them in iWeb. This would avoid some issues with iWeb keeping HUGE copies of your images in the Domain file and in some cases (RSS blog/podcast) even uploading the HUGE files.

  • Where can i find the Media browser folder

    Hi guys hey where can I find the media browser folder if I want to delete some FCPX videos to free up some space.

    They are placed inside the project folder, in a folder called "Shared Items." The default location of the project folder is in your Movies folder, called "Final Cut Projects." On an external drive, the "Final Cut Projects" folder is at the top level.
    The shared file will have a name that starts with the project name, and ends with whatever you shared it to. For example, "<projectname > - Mac and PC.mp4"
    There will also be a file called ShareStatus.plist in that folder. It tracks all the instances of when you share the project. I will also control whether a little icon appears next to your project name in FCPX. Finally, if you delete an item that was shared and it still exists in that .plist file, you will see an exclamation point next to the shared icon; it is harmless but to get rid of that you need to delete the entry from the .plist file.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I add a folder of MP3s to Final Cut so they show up in the media browser?

    I have a collection of royalty free audio clips in MP3 format. I would like to get them to show up in the media browser, so I don't have to go to the finder each time to get them into a project. Any idea how to do this?

    If you want them in the Music and Sound media browser specifically, rather than in your Event Library, then you could easily just add them to your system's iTunes library, then access them via FCP X:
    http://help.apple.com/finalcutpro/mac/10.0/#ver549f1ed1
    Or if you want to avoid adding / organizing them in your iTunes library then you can just drag and drop your already organized MP3 folder directly into the Sound and Music media browser pane inside FCP X and the app will add that folder to the browser inside a new "Folders" category.

    ...save it as sRGB?
    Would you care to comment on why there is an advantage to do this little extra job?
    Perhaps you don't want to hear from me, I don't know.
    I'll answer just this one little question.  Try to get your mind around what color management does, I promise it does make sense (outside of unexplained problems on particular computers).
    You want to save your web image with the sRGB profile embedded because some Internet browsers are color managed, and with an embedded profile it's more likely someone will see your image colors just as you intended.
    The assumption is that a lowly windows user with a cheap monitor and Internet Explorer will be seeing any image you save as "roughly" sRGB anyway.  Tagging the image with sRGB only affects those with color-managed browsers.
    You're looking for the most possible consistency for the viewing audience.

    Try highlighting the thumbnail of the slide you want to play, before clicking 'play'.
