No photos (nor music, movies)-appearing in iWork apps' Media panel

Since upgrading my Mac Mini to OS X Mavericks + the latest iWork apps and iLife apps, I can't see any of my photos in the Media panel that appears in any of the iWork apps.
I just see a message saying "No Photos" and "To add photos, go to iPhoto."
But when I go to iPhoto (or Aperture) all my many thousands of photos are all there.
The Media panel panel in my new iWork apps also doesn't show any of my iTunes music nor Garageband music, nor does it show any movies.
I've repaired permission on the disk but that made no difference.
Has anyone else seen this problem?  Anyone know how to solve it?
Any tips appreciated.

Re: Photo Issue
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.

    If there was no backup, where would you recover the photos from.  Sorry but those pictures are gone.

  • Aperture doesn't appear in iWork's media browser or Mail's Photo Browser

    I've just installed Aperture 2, and I realize that it doesn't appear in the following browsers:
    - Media Browser in iWork'08
    - Photo Browser in Mail
    Also, in iTunes, I can select Aperture to sync photos from, but no album is displayed
    Any idea what could be wrong ?
    Thanks for your help.

    After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
    Hope this helps.

  • HT201318 If photos, purchased music and videos, books and apps don't count against the 5GB of storage then why is my storage full? What is filling it up?

    What fills up storage on icloud, they say photos on photo stream, apps, purchased music, books or videos don't count against the free 5GB they give you. Mine is full and I only back up contacts, calendars, passbook and find my iphone

    Might be your backup if you have lots of photos and videos in your camera roll.  Might be your email if you have lots of saved messages with large attachments.  Might be backups of older or different devices that you no longer need.

  • Photos do not show up in iWork Apps or iMovie

    My imported photos to the New 64 GB iPad with up to date software will not show up to import in over 50 percent of the cases. All I see is white blanks where they should be. Eavent the catagory photo is just multicolored lines. I solved some problems by exporting to ping, deleting the photos and reimporting them, then syncing, but it always leaves a bunch of stragglers. This seems to have happed with the latest iPad OS update.  Anyone having similar problems?

    It usually helps to provide info on what exactly you did and what the outcome is.  Not showing up is not enough to figure this out.  How did you send?  Which app?  Which mail service was used?  Have you tried bcc-ing yourself to see what you get?  What is the source of the photos?

  • HT201322 when I follow these directions "5. Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV shows, Apps, or Books from the top."  "Books" does not appear as an option for me.

    Trying to manage hidden Apps, Books, etc in the iCloud - I am following the directions from this post "

    I do not see the "Books" option to select to manage the content, I only see Music, Movies, TV Shows and Apps
    How to I select "Books"?

    Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

    How Do I Get Rid Of The “Other” Data Stored On My iPad Or iPhone?
    http://tinyurl.com/85w6xwn
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • I can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appear message appear

    i can't update iPhoto and i movie i photo and i movie the message appears
    These apps cannot be accepted by your Apple ID.
    These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. If you don't have access to that Apple ID and want to receive future updates, you will need to purchase the applications.
    please help me to fix this problem
    Thanks
    Krishna.

    You need to either delete and buy them, or get whoever holds that Apple ID to tell Apple to release them. On a Mac, deleting the applications won't affect their data, but that should be backed up anyway.

  • My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6  years.  We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc.  Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

    No.
    One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
    But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
    Create separate computer logins for each of you.
    This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

  • HT4436 originally my kids used my apple account, now they want there own.  Can they keep there photos and music and move it to a new account?

    I want to create a new account and transfer my photos and music to the new account.  How can I do that?

    Your talking about the famous AppleID divorce
    There is no way to "move" music, apps, or photostreams between iCloud/AppleID accounts easily, but there are some ways to maybe salvage everything they want and get it to their individual devices.  I'm going to assume that each has an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, and that you all have one or more computers with iTunes (macs or PC's, shouldn't matter). 
    In any case, this isn't likely to be a quick fix for you, so clear a couple of hours in the evening and grab a beverage of your choice.  Here are a few ways to manage the divorce:
    Separate iCloud (ie, contacts, calendars, etc) accounts for each person, Shared iTunes Music/Apps:
    This approach allows each person to have their own device backups, plus their own address books, calendars, etc, and it allows everyone to share the apps and music that has been and will be purchased. This will also mean each has their own photostreams as well.  With calendars and photostreams, you can create "shared" versions of each so you and they can collectively contribute and modify the calendar, and can collectively contribute to a shared photostream.
    The great benefit to this approach is that all of the music and apps that have been purchased will continue to be available on all of the devices.
    The disadvantage is that with the shared iTunes account, everybody is sharing everybody else's gift cards and/or money that is in the account.  Monitoring it is a manual process.
    To setup this scenario:
    Create a new iCloud account (ie, new AppleID's) for everyone, including yourself. 
    In the iCloud settings on each mobile device use the new iCloud account (ie, AppleID) for that person. 
    Use those same iCloud credentials for the iCloud settings in each person's account on the computer.  (Note that if you do NOT use separate accounts for each person on the computer, this method will not work for synching the iCloud stuff, just the iTunes stuff.  I highly recommend you create user accounts on the computer for each person). 
    On your mobile devices, in the iTunes and App Store settings continue to use the "original" AppleID under which all of the music and apps were purchased. 
    In iTunes for each user account on the computer, continue to use the "original" Apple ID, just like on the mobile devices. 
    For each person's photos that they wish to keep, make sure that they are currently in the mobile device's camera roll (just as Winston suggested).
    Now the device's and computer user accounts are all setup.  When the mobile device's are synched to user's (or the common) iTunes app, all of the music and apps will stay, and all of the photos that were previously in each user's camera roll will still be there.
    Separate iTunes Accounts, Shared iCloud Account
    This approach allows each person to have their own iTunes account for music and apps, but will keep all of the iCloud stuff (like contacts and calendars and photostreams) identical accross everybody's devices.  This is particularly useful if the kids get their own gift cards and are not amenable to sharing with their family and you want to continue to have identical address books, calendars, and photostreams. 
    The main drawback to this approach is that it is possible that each individual will lose access to some music and all purchased apps.  That will depend highly upon when the music was purchased.  ie, was it purchased before or after Apple went to a digital rights management (DRM) free model for music.  All purchased apps will technically be lost, but sometimes its still possible to "keep" those apps via iTunes and your device will continually and annoyingly ask you for the credentials (ie, the original AppleID) under which the app was purchased. 
    Another drawback is that the free iCloud storage account is likely to be enough to backup all of your devices (if you have more than 1).  Therefore, you will likely have to purchase a larger iCloud storage plan.
    To setup this scenario:
    Create a new AppleID for each person for use in the iTunes Music/App store.  Remember to keep your original AppleID that was used for all of the purchases to date. 
    On each mobile device, in the iTunes and App Store settings input the new AppleID for each user.  On one of the devices (you'll have to figure out on which one it makes the most sense), continue to use the original AppleID. 
    In the iCloud settings for each device (and the computer accounts), continue to use the original AppleID. 
    Now you must setup new iTunes databases on the computer for each seperate user.  The only way to do this is to have each user have a seperate account on the computer (again, mac or PC, doesn't matter). 
    In each user's iTunes app on the computer, input the iTunes store credentials that match his/her mobile device that you setup in step 2 above.
    On the computer, move all of the music that each person cares about into his/her separate iTunes database (ie, import the music into iTunes by whatever method you choose).  The exact method for this is dependent upon whether its windows or mac, but basically, find the actual music files on the hard drive, and then import each of them into iTunes for each user.  You want each user to setup their "new" music database on the computer.  This is what the mobile device will synch against.
    Once complete, synch each mobile device with each user's respective iTunes app.  You MUST use separate iTunes databases at this point.
    If all of the music was purchased post-DRM (or is DRM-free for whatever reason), then this method will result in each user having all of the music that he/she wishes.  However, if some of the music has DRM, then your success here will be a crapshoot. 
    Photostreams should all continue to be shared and collective since they are attached to the common iCloud account, not iTunes.
    Separate iTunes Music/App Account, Separate iCloud
    This is the ultimate in "every man for himself".  The advantage is the each person has their own free iCloud features (including the all-important backup) and each has their own iTunes account. 
    The disadvantage is the same as "Common iCloud, Separate iTunes" approach:  individuals may lose access to already purchased music and apps.  The photostreams will also be broken apart, although you can setup shared photostreams for the future. 
    To setup this up:
    Create new iCloud/AppleID accounts for each person (except for the original user). 
    In each person's mobile device, use their new AppleID for both iCloud and iTunes Music and App stores.  One person keeps the original AppleID and continues to use it.
    Follow the steps above for creating new music databases in each user's account on the computer.
    Synch each user's mobile device with their respective iTunes database.
    OK, that's what i have for you at this point.  I'm happy to answer further questions on this and help you figure out how to do what you want to do.
    Thanks

  • Can I use my iPod to move photos and music from one computer to another?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to have photos and music on my iPod from one computer, and then copy those from my iPod to another computer? (like with an ordinary USB-unit)
    And another question: Is it possible to download movies onto my iPod? If yes, how? (owner of an iPod 30GB)
    Thanks!

    Did you set it to copy full-resolution photos??? If so, enable your iPod for disk use, open my computer, click on your iPod, and open the pictures folder. You can just drag them from there. If you didn't, use a program such a CopyPod Photo (google it) to copy photos from your iPod. Note that the files will only be the same resolution as your iPod screen (320x240) and not worth using for anything else. If you want to use it for sharing, definitely go with the full-res option. It is at the bottom of the photos pane in the iPod screen in iTunes.

  • I am trying to insert a cut photo into a movie clip. the cutaway photo appears above the clip and cuts away when you move the curser across it, but does not show the cutaway when in playback. What am I missing?away

    I am trying to insert a cutaway photo into a movie clip. The cuaway photo appears over the clip and will appear in the clip when you manually moce the curser across it, but will not appear in the clip during playback. What am I missing?

    Try using the SHARE menu to share your movie in the sizes you need. It should work on the shared copy.
    Another thing to try would be to restart your Mac so you have fresh memory.
