Photos don't show up in media browser when I want to insert a photo into Word

I'm fully updated in Yosemite (10.10.3) on an iMac (recently purchased).  Photos updated just the other day and I chose iCloud for storage.  When I try to insert a photo into my Word document no photos show up in the media sidebar "photos" nor in the media browser on Word.  My photolibrary is visible under "Pictures" in the sidebar, but it is grayed out. How can I link the sidebar "Media =>Photos" or un-gray it on the pictures?

Sounds like more of a question for the Mail experts. Once the file is added to the Mail message it's not really anything to do with iPhoto.

  • New Photos Library Not Showing up in Media Browser

    Hi, all--
    I have the new Photos Library app, but I cannot select photos from it in other apps (like Twitter) because it doesn't show up the Media Browser that appears in the sidebar. The Photos Library is stored in my Pictures folder, and although I can click on the Pictures folder, the package contents of Photos Library isn't accessible there. Is anyone else experiecing this? I see other posts about this problem for iWeb, but I'm seeing it with EVERY 3rd party app/website. I can't select those photos. Help, please!
    Thanks!

    It's not a bug. It's not an iWeb issue.
    It's progress.
    Everytime something new arrives, the old is left behind.
    But there is a solution.
    iPhoto and the old library are still on your computer.
    Open iPhoto and select the old library.
    After that the images are available again.

  • Some of my songs are listed twice on my iPod itself.  However, when I plug the iPod into my computer, the songs don't show up twice in iTunes when I click on device/music. How do I get rid of the duplicate songs on my iPod?

    that is odd! that should not be happening.
    Are you syncing your songs right off of itunes itself? because it should be syncing over to the ipod however it is listed in itunes.

  • IMovie '11, what steps am I missing, when I go to SHARE, IDVD is grey and not activated, only ITUNES and MEDIA BROWSER? I want to burn a DVD.

    Share your movie to the Media Browser. Then, in iDVD, drag your movie in from the Media Browser at the bottom right.
    THe Share to iDVD option is only activated if your source material is DV or AVCHD.

  • Can no longer see my I-photo photos, when trying to insert photo into Word Document.

    I had some computer problems and did upgrade to Snow Leopard from Leopard. Using older MacBook Pro. 
    Now, when I try to insert a picture into a Word Document, I cannot see my photos!
    I am working in a word document, I choose "Insert Photo from my files" and when the window comes up so I can choose the photo to insert... when I select the "photos" choice under the Media section on the Left side of the box that comes up, the box to the right is BLANK, both on the top and bottom!  None of my photos come up for selection. 
    This method to choose photos to insert into documents used to work before... now it is not.  After selecting "photos" all my photos would appear in the right box, and I would move through my I-photo events to choose my saved photo and insert it.  Yes, photos are showing and present in I-photo.  They just won't appear for importing.
    This is so frustrating, not to mention time comsuming trying to figure out what is going on and how to fix it.
    Can anyone help? Please?

    I do not see a way to disable the Picture Frame icon.  I looked at Settings-Picture Frame, but none of the options turns it off.  The only way I can thinik of, would be if all of your photos had been deleted.  If there were no photos, you couldn't have a slide show!
    One thing to try is to reset (reboot) your iPad.  Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes.  Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

  • Any ideas how I can insert a pdf into word, using the insert object option. However the pdf i want to insert has text and lines annotated, but once inserted the comments don't appear????  any help would be greatly appreciated.

    You will need to find a forum for MS Word since that is the software that you are trying to manipulate in this.  If you think the processing/creation of the PDF plays a role then you should ask in the forum for the software that you are using to create the PDF.
    This forum is for issue regarding downloading and installing Adobe trial products, so in any circumstance, your issue does not fit in this forum.

  • After importing photos to iphoto I cannot find them when I want to insert them into documents or facebook.

    When I import photos from my camera memory stick to iphoto and want to insert them afterwarts into Facebook or into documents or emails they do not appear in the 'choose picture' list.
    Example: in a document I click 'insert', then 'photo', 'picture from file'. It is here that I do not find the photos I just uploaded.
    However - and this is a mystery to me - there are some photos that I uploaded at another day and that are actually in the 'choose a picture' file.
    Does anyone have an idea what is going on or what I have to do differently?
    many thanks!

    How was this iPhone unlocked?  Did a carrier unlock for you?
    If you did the unlocking by jailbreaking there is nothing anyone on here can do to help you.

  • 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.

  • Projects "Shared to Media Browser" don't actually appear in Media Browser

    Hello all. I've got one of those "it seems so easy I must be doing something wrong" questions. (I accidentally posted this in the iMovie HD forum by accident, the first time. I'm actually using iMovie '08.)
    This is the first time I've tried this, and I can't seem to get it to work. I've made a bunch of projects in iMovie that I now want to bring into iDVD. I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there. Doesn't matter which other iLife app I use to look -- iWeb, iDVD, GarageBand all do the same thing -- when I look in the "Movies" section, iMovie is there, as are all the Events in my Event Library, but from the screen shots I've looked at, I think the "Shared" iMovie projects are supposed to show up there, just above the Event Library clips, right? They don't.
    In iMovie, they look "shared" -- the shared projects all have the "row of square boxes" icon next to them, so it looks like something did happen -- but I can't select them in any other iLife app. My next thought is I'll just export them instead of share, and import the files directly from the Finder, no big deal, but I was just wondering if anyone knows why the Media Browser thing isn't working for me?
    I'm using iLife '08 and I have my Movies folder on an external drive (could that be part of the problem?)
    Thanks in advance, everyone, for any assistance you can render.

    I've started "Sharing" them to the Media Browser, but they're not showing up there.
    1) Sharing to the "Media Browser" stores the project export file in your named_Project folder. As long as you do not delete (or modify) the project, the file(s) will remain available there.
    2) Your "Media Browser" files should be located under the "Movies" tab at the very top of your "Media" browser list immediately under the "iMovie" heading and not under the "Movies" heading. (I.e., they have the yellow icon as opposed to the purple source "Event" icon.

  • Aperture previews not showing up in media browser (and iweb)

    some of my images in aperture projects do not show up in iweb or in the media browser at all....the projects are listed and most other project show all images, but some don't....
    i tried several things including consistency check and rebuilding the entire library....nothing works....
    this is very annoying...one of the few reasons (but a major one for me) to stick with aperture over LR is the system wide integration....but it has to work....

    thanks for that info....i actually managed to fix it by rebuilding my previews.....but there was no reason at all for the previews not to show up....and it actually took 2 times to rebuild them all....some still did not show up after the first run....
    i really hope we will see an upgrade soon....some things just have to be smoothed out....and a few added....

  • IPhoto not showing up in media browser

    My iPhoto files are not showing up in my media browser in iWeb. Any suggestions?

    Alright, I solved this problem at least for myself. Hopefully this works for all of you guys.
    (Note: Quite all iLife and iWork applications before doing this)
    Step 1. Download and install Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/
    Step 2. Insert Snow Leopard Disc
    Step 3. Run Pacifist
    Step 4. Click "Open Apple Install Discs"
    Step 5. Select Install Disc in Pop Up Dialog and select "Choose" (it can take a couple of minutes for the disc to load)
    Step 6. In the search field at the top of the window type "mediabrowser" (no space) and the second result should be a folder. When you select it it should show that the file path is Library>Application Support>iLifeMediaBrowser
    Step 7. Select the iLifeMediaBrowser folder and click the "install" button in the top left of the window
    Step 8. Click "Install" in the pop up dialog then input your password in the next window and hit ok
    Step 9. Enjoy your media browser being up and running again
    If there is a dialog that says something about possible file damage or something to that effect, just hit continue. You'll be a o.k. and up in running again.
    I hope this helps any of you!

  • Folders don't show up in Soundtrack browser

    They're actually the project folders from the training manual. The sound files all show up in the Soundtrack browser, but there are project files that are on my hard drive, and show up in my Mac finder, but not in Soundtrack. It's not a big deal, since I can access these through the Mac finder, but it's weird that they don't show up in the program.

    Are you talking about a regular finder window, or after you have used Cmd-F or Find in the File menu?
    From what you describe, it sounds like you are editing a saved search, and not just "finding" normally.
    When you select Find, you should see something like this:
    Spotlight is the indexing and search technology that Apple uses to find things. You can do a "Spotlight Search" by typing a string into the Spotlight search field in the menu bar.
    Whether you use the Finder, or Spotlight in the menu bar, Spotlight is used to do the search.
