Photobooth and the iApps Media Browser

Good morning.
Some students at our school find that the Media Browser will not display thumbnails of their Photobooth images. This happens in all the 'iApps' that use the Media Browser.
I can't see any differences between the configurations of directories and preferences for students who can use the Media Browser successfully and those who can't. We would appreciate any help.
Thanks in advance.

This appears to be connected to users who previously used iLife'06. But I've not gor a satisfactory solution.

We have an issue when we send a film to the media encoder it crashes about half of the time for no particular reason. Anyone else got that too with Premiere Pro CC and the new Media encoder? Thanks! bedrijfsfilm Companyfilms

I created a slide show on work computer. Placed photos and movies in Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give presentation. Do I need to copy media browser to laptop or are pictures and movies embedded in slide show and can go anywhere

I created a slide show on my work computer and placed many photos and movies in my work computer's Media Browser. Want to use another computer (laptop) to give the presentation and therefore change location of slide show. Do I need to copy the media browser to the laptop or once the pictures and movies are embedded in the original slide show, can I take it anywhere and not worry about the media browser?
I also want to optimize a movie for Keynote, so it's not too large a file. Please help.

Graphic, sound and video files are copied into the Keynote file, but make sure Keynote > Preferences - include sound and movies check box is ticked.
If you have added additional fonts they will need be changed to reflect what is on the destination machine.
If the other machine has a different Keynote version, ensure the same transitions and effects are available.

Imovie and exporting to media browser

After reviewing many posts am I correct in these statements?
1. From iMovie11 you should not export to iDVD, but rather media browser, to burn a movie to DVD because the quality will be better.
2. When exporting to Media Browser it is pointless to go higher than "LARGE" becasue a standard DVD does not go higher that the "large" resolution.
Question: is it better to Export higher than large if you are watching on computer or connecting to TV to watch?

Out of Range Error
As I only got
• miniDV tape Cameras - interlaced SD-Video
• and a small still Camera with sort of movie function 30fps 720p I think
and as far as I know - iMovie HD6 is not so keen on Progressive material (Hopefully I'm totally wrong in this)
So I set it to do DV
One more reason is that
• DVD is as Standard = Interlaced SD-Video
• iDVD does the down scaling of HD-material badly
So I keep the line from Camera to DVD as intact as possibly (goes for the Sound too - Never .mp3 or other alient formats - I only use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz or .aiff 16-bit 44.1kHz (from Audio-CDs) and from iTunes I go via Export out to a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) and use the files on this)
By doing so - I've very few problems in my DVD makings.

GXine and the Gecko Media Player Plug-in

If you're running gXine and certain things like Apple trailers or videos from NASA aren't working, this is what you do. This was only tested using very recent snapshots of Xine, gXine and Firefox.
Grab the gecko-mediaplayer folder from ABS (community-->multimedia). Remove the 'gnome-mplayer' dependency, build and install. Then simply rebuild gXine and install. Order is important here. As far as I can tell the plug-in has to be built and installed after gecko-mediaplayer is installed in order for Firefox to get this right. This also works to a degree with the xine-plugin. By a degree I mean that Apple trailers work, but the stuff at NASA doesn't. It's also useful to note here that it doesn't work with totem-xine and the totem-plugin.
I did notify the developers of Gecko Media Player. It would be so cool if it worked as a Xine plug-in without the hack.

Thanks for the link. Tried it, but unfortunately it didn't solve the problem. It only removed the pop-up message and left a blank field in the browser window where the video clip was supposed to be.

Problem with Fotomagico and new iLife Media Browser

I installed the new iLife Media Browser as part the Apple software Update several days ago. I use Fotomagico, which uses the media browser. After installing the new browser, Fotomagico no longer sees photos- it can browse the directories in iPhoto but can't see the actual photos (blank boxes appear with file names) and I can't select them.
Is there some way to uninstall the new browser? On my wife's Mac, I did not install it after seeing what happened on mine, and Fotomagico still works fine there.
Help! I'm in the middle of a project with a deadline! I've contacted Boinx Software also but they are taking their time.

Do you use Time Machine? Apart from wiping the HD and starting over there’s no other way to go back.
But try repair permissions first.
BTW
it can browse the directories in iPhoto
What version of iPhoto are you using?

Exchange 2010, UCC SSL, and the "new" CA/BROWSER Forum not issuing for .local

I don't know how many people have run into this yet, but the CA/BROSWER Forum, the "standards" authority for SSL issuing, has mandated that CA's can no longer issue a certificate using a FQDN "intranet" name for new or renewal SSL certificates effective
Nov 1, 2012. i.e. the Microsoft standard of mydomain.local will no longer be accepted as a SAN on a UCC for Exchange 2010. I've looked thru the KBs and Social forums, but haven't really found any guidance on how to solve this. I'm presuming
that the certs will have to be split and the "external" domain name of server.mydomain.net will just become a single server SSL, and the internal name of server.mydomain.local will become a Self-Signed certificate. With the increasing prevalence of OA
and ActiveSync devices, is there any baseline guidance yet on how to make this happen without completely fouling up production servers and killing access to the user community?

On the same topic, though likely different environment...
Against recommended deployment, I have a number of clients running all their services on one box. Windows Server 2008, Active Directoy, DNS, Exchange 2010 ...and so on. These servers all have .local addresses, which means of course that the SAN
certificates have .local addresses as one of the SANs.
I've read alot online about this issue, and am trying to find the most cost effective solution to switch numerous production servers running this configuration.
The best solution I've come up with so far is...
1. Virtual AD with new external domain, 2. Migrate Exchange CAS to this domain, 3. Reconfigure network through the box.
Obviously these steps will contain alot more details, but this is just the outline atm. At best, I see me having to take a second box with me to each location to perform these steps, and I can't see it happening without disruption to the work flow
of employees.
Thankfully, all of these businesses are relatively smal...under 25 employees. Still, I'd like to find the smoothest transition solution possible.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Feature Request: Standard Keyboard Navigation in Media Browser and Project Panel

It's been a while since I've had time to submit a feature request. I've wanted to see this one for a while. If you agree, please submit your own feature request here: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish/
System Navigational Keyboard Shortcuts in Media Browser and Project Panel
Windows (and I'm sure Mac) has a standard set of keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts for keyboard and mouse. I'm so used to using them in daily browsing (both in Windows Explorer and in any web browser) that missing them in the PPr Media Browser, or getting a different result in the Project Panel, is still very jarring and slows my workflow (even after having used Premiere Pro [again] since version CS4).
I propose that the Media Browser and Project Panel should honor the OS defaults for keyboard and mouse folder/file navigation. A few of the standard (Windows) keyboard and mouse navigational shortcuts are listed below (listed in order of most helpful to my own work):
Moust Back Button = "BACK"
ALT + LEFT ARROW = "BACK"
UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT = steps through the various folders within the view.
UP, DOWN walks through the directory tree while RIGHT expands the currently selected folder and LEFT contracts that directory (twirl down, etc).
ENTER opens a folder.
ALT + UP = "Folder Above"
ALT + RIGHT ARROW = "FORWARD"
F2 Renames a folder
ENTER "takes" that name to the clip. (current functionality used ENTER to rename a file/folder).
ESC cancels the renaming operation.
Pressing Enter on any piece of Media or Title, etc should take an "expected" action acording to it's context. (i.e. ENTER on a video clip would load it inot the Source Monitor. ENTER on a Title would open it in the Title Editor. ENTER on a folder would take us into that folder).
These functions exist in both Windows Explorer as well as most modern Web browsers. When browsing files and Project folders, it's what I've come to expect. It's muscle memory, if not intuitive. I realize that many of these keyboard commands are already in use in other windows/panels of the application, therefore, these commands should be Panel-specific (i.e. ALT+LEFT works differently in the Media Browser and Project Panel than it does on the Timeline/Sequence). And as always, when making such changes (i.e. changing the behavior of ENTER to F2), this set of keys should be highly configurable based on preference:
Preference:
checkbox: Use OS-specific navigational keyboard and mouse commands in Media Browser and Project Panel
checkbox: Use the (very few) "classic" Adobe keyboard commands in the Media Browser and Project Panel
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Media Browser is clicking the BACK button on my mouse—only to realize, yet again, it doesn't work that way in PPr.
The most common habit I find myself doing in the Project Panel is pressing F2 to rename a folder/bin. Of course that doesn't work. And when I've renamed it, I press ENTER to save the name, but that only moves me to the next folder ready to rename it, too. I also find, out of habit, I try to navigate the bins using the arrow keys and then open the bin/folder using ENTER. Instead, my bin is asking for a new name and I hit ESC to avoid renaming it—now THERE's a shortcut that works the way it should.
I realize this feature may be controversial to some, since it's not the way we're used to doing things in PPr. However, I'm sure there are just as many out there, like me, who are confounded as to why PPr has never worked with the "conventional" navigation shortcuts found throughout the rest of the operating system, be it Windows or Mac.

Aperture Library and iLife Media Browser - Showing Deleted MobileMe Gallery

I'm currently using Aperture 3.1 and iLife '09 and just noticed that when I try to access the Aperture Library from say iPhoto or Keynote that the list of folders contains two MobileMe folders with my name, one of which contains dupicates of two of my gallery's. Now I deleted all of my MobileMe gallery's to see if I could fix this, but it still shows a MobileMe folder and two gallery's that no longer exist. I even logged out of MobileMe in Aperture, but still in the iLife Media browser the non-existent gallery's are still shown. I even tried deleting all previews and re-generating in Aperture, to see if the sharing information would be updated, but still these phantom gallery's persist. I guess this doesn't cause me any problems, but I would just like to fix it and wondered if anyone else had seen this and knew of a solution? Thanks.

Hi,

Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
thanks,
Mark

I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
[1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
[2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
[2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
[2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
[2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
[2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
[2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
[2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
[2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
cheers,
Mark

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.

Some iPhotos pics in media browser of iWeb won't drag and drop

I am trying to add some pictures from the iphoto media browser in iweb and haven't had a problem until now. Some pictures will drag and drop to the page and others will not. I thought it might be a difference in size, but these are equal size and still some with drag and some not.
I did notice that when I drag some to a photo box, the + sign in a green box appears and those will go. The ones that won't, have a curvy arrow (like the hyperlink symbol).
I'm just learning about all of this, but this one has me stumped... thoughts?
Nicole

I know we talk all about iWeb here but iPhoto has had its fair share of problems. Have you installed the latest iPhoto V 7.0.2(341)?
I've had a few bizarre things happening in iPhoto '08 but not since the latest update.

Seeing RAW files in Idvd media browser

hello,
is it possible to see the Aperture RAW files in the IDVD media browser ? I can see (some) jpg images that are imported into Aperture but none of the NEF RAW files are visible in IDvd
or do i need to export the images to jpg first and then import them to IDvd ?
thanks,
tom

in order for any of the iApps to see and use images from aperture you need to do two things ...
1 generate previews for those images/projects
2 enable the shraing of those previews with iApps (under preferences)

ITunes library no longer appears in iLife media browser

Lately, my iTunes music library has disappeared from the media browser in all my iLife apps and in iWork. I've tried deleting the plists for the iLife apps. I've tried reinstalling iLife 2006, and launching them in the order Apple suggests. I backed up my home folder, and tried reinstalling the OS. All to no avail. Everything else, photos and movies, etc, appear in the media browser.
I can't seem to find any information on Google or Apple that's on point with my problem. So, I am writing this post.
I am not sure when the problem started, but I think I noticed it in mid June (June 18 was when reinstalled the OS).
Anyway, I'd appreciate any suggestions. Using the iLife media browser is easier than manually dragging files from iTunes to GarageBand for podcasts.
Thanks
iMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10) 1 GB RAM

Wow, this is not encouraging. I have a slightly different version of this problem. I had my Aperture library showing up (and updating as I expanded it) in the Media Browser, and all was well until I bought a new Mac and transferred everything over from the old one. For whatever reason, not everything makes it over. Now, on the new Mac, my Media Browser only shows images from Photo Booth--not even iPhoto! I feel your pain and share your ire.
Someone mentioned September (not coming soon enough). Is there speculation that Aperture will be updated (finally!) when Snow Leopard releases?

RAID DRIVE WON'T WORK IN LINK MEDIA BROWSER

I have a RAID 5 drive connected to my MACPRO (MacPro5,1), OSX 10.9.2. Its working fine on OS. In Premiere Pro CC I can import files from it no problem, everything seems to be fine until I try to link media from it. The link media browser won't access it. I can see it, I can see the RAID drives icon, but it won't access the files.
In the link media browser it won't show on the Local Drives list on the left pane. When I double click on local drives, on the right pane I can see the RAID HD icon, but when I click on it it won't open it. It knows its there but can't access it. I don't get it. I can import files from it, etc, but not link files. I would have to redo the whole sequence with files from that RAID drive and its days of work.
I would appreciate enormously any help with this issue.

Adobe CC 2014 v8.1
iMac 27" 3.4GHz w/12GB Ram.
OS 10.9.5
OWC Mercutry ELite Pro Dual.
RAID 0
Thunderbolt.
No adapters or daisy chaining going on.
The RAID is new and only has about 700GB of data on it.
I read on Creative Cow that alexojedav522 was able to figure out that the size of the drive was his issue:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/3/954245
After reading that I tried repartitioning my RAID into two sections of 2tb each (let's call them Partition1 and Partition2).
So Partition1 is just the original partition (which was 4TB) shrunken down to 2TB.
Partition2 is the brand new partition.
Oddly enough, I can access Partition2 via Media Browser just fine.
And when I move media onto it I can relink it as well).
But Partition1 is still not accessible via Premiere at all.
I am currently moving everything off of Partition1 and onto Partition2, so that I can at least relink my project and get to work.
But obviously that isn't a permanent solution.
