Photos not appearing on iMovie

Hey there, I'm making a movie/slideshow of pictures for my friend's 18th birthday, been working on it for months and when I go to add some final photos tonight the new ones that I add imovie seems to skip! They appear in the thumbnail line up when I click play the photo before it goes on for longer and becomes distorted when the new pictures should be playing. Does anyone know why/what I can do to fix it? Thank you! (her birthday is tomorrow, so need some answers ASAP!)
Thank you!

Memory is getting small
By memory do you mean free disk space? How much free space do you have? It's strongly recommended that a minimum of 10GB free space be maintained (20 GB if you use iDVD a lot) for optimal system and application performance.
By searching for thumbnails can you explain further? Do you get a message?

Photos not appearing in apps outside iPhoto

I recently added 2 new events in iPhoto and everything looks fine in iPhoto. The problem is that the 2 new events and the photos/videos inside those 2 events do not appear in iMovie. iMovie sees everything but the 2 most recent events.
I have rebuilt the thumbnail database and the photo database, but still no luck. My iPhoto library is housed on an external NAS (Buffalo Tech) device.
I'm stumped. Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Sharing between iPhoto and others apps is governed by a file in the Library package called the AlbumData.xml file. The other apps read this file to be aware of the iPhoto content. Your problem is here:
My iPhoto library is housed on an external NAS (Buffalo Tech) device.
When stored on a disk formatted anything except Mac OS Extended (Journaled) iPhoto can have problems formatting the XML file. Other folks report issues with saving edits and importing photos.
The only solution is to have your Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Videos in iPhoto do not appear in iMovie event browser

After successfully importing 60 or so video clips into imovie:
Clips appear and function normally in iPhoto.
Clips do not appear in iMovie event browser unless they are 4 seconds in length or less.
Previous imports from the same camera worked fine.
It started happening after the most recent software updates.

Deleting the prefs did for it to activate this scan:
Upadating iPhoto video events
Scanning for new videos in your iPhoto library
But it still shows no videos in the iPhoto Video part of the Event Libary. I am using iPhoto 8.0.6 under MacOS 10.7.5.
When I choose Show Date Ranges in Events list under iMovie preferences, it shows Feb 24, 2008. What does that mean? What happened on Feb 24, 2008? I have over 1000 movies in my iPhoto Library ranging from 2005 to present.
Any other ideas? Someone suggested removing the "&" symbol from the titles of Events, which I did. Should i also remove the "&" symbol from the titles of the photos and movies? What about other symbols like ":". It seems crazy that Apple would make their software so fragile that ASCII symbols could break it.
thanks

TS3719 Video not appearing in iMovie video

I have lot of video files on my iPad 4 video but they are not appearing through iMovie software.

iMovie can see video from the photos app.
It does not see or able to edit video from the movies app.
So are you saying that you can see the video in the photos app, but iMovie does not see them?

Photos do not appear in imovie 11. black screen with frozen movie clip

Imovie 11 Photos do not appear in the movie a black screen for picture in picture or a frozen screen with sound and no photo

Yes
There is one possibility
• AVI or .avi is no Video Format/Codec - it is a container and usually contains something iMovie can not use OK.
Open it with QuickTime-player and then open inspector (cmd+I) and read
• Video Format/Codec: nnnnnnnnnnnnn
What does it read ? (all of it)
from wife Nikon D300s I read
Yours the same ?
Either I would
• import it into iPhoto and in iMovie import from title iPhoto Movies at top in Events window - or
• convert it into streamingDV .dv or AIC and use this.
AND - my read 24fps - I would convert this to PAL 25fps or to NTSC 29.97 (if for US) by JES_Deinterlacer.

Photos not appearing correctly on 2nd mac

I maintain an iPhoto library in a shared folder on an iMac and my wife accesses it from a Macbook. We do not use iPhoto concurrently. Both macs are connected (wired) to an Airport Extreme. iPhoto behaves well on the iMac (where the library resides but when we try to access it from the Macbook the events appear correctly and the thumbnails as well. When we click on an individual photo it appears for one second and then the screen goes blank. This is not consistent - pictures from a Canon S3IS are OK. Pictures from a Nikon D3000 usually cause cause the problem. I suspect it is related to the higher resolution of the pictures, Any ideas? Thanks.

Welcome to Apple Discussions Lancaster,
iPhoto has a built in sharing ability that allows you to share photos iPhoto 7.0 Help (iLife '08): Sharing your photos between computers on a network
Accessing the iPhoto Library package over a network connection using File Sharing is not something I would recommend. The shear amount of the data you are trying to push actively across the network combined with the fact that iPhoto was not designed to read a streaming iPhoto Library may be the cause of your issue.
Consider the following instead:
- Copy the Library to your other computer locally
- Use the built in sharing feature in iPhoto
- Use MobileMe to share images (I like this option less because it does not necessarily share a full quality image file. )
Hope that helps

Photos not appearing on the photo map on iPhone 6

Hi,
I got a new iPhone 6 yesterday. I had until then been using the iPhone 5. When iOS 8 came out I had to delete a lot of photos from the iPhone 5 to get space for the update. I backed up all my photos on my Macbook. Yesterday I synced all of my photos onto my new iPhone 6.
A strange thing is that in the map function on the Photos app only the photos that were not synced (i.e. those that had remained on the iPhone 5 and were part of the iCloud backup) appear on the map. It seems that the "map info / gps coordinates" on the synced photos somehow have been lost. However in the Photos app the names of the places / towns where the photos were taken still appear (they were all taken with my iPhone 5) so there clearly is some gps coordinate information there. To make this even more confusing, YESTERDAY, right after syncing all these photos DID appear on the photos map, but this morning they do not (only the photos that were not synced do).
Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggested solutions? I really loved being able to see exactly where my holiday photos etc were taken, so I hope I have not lost this for the synced photos permanently.
Many thanks,
S

Edited photos not appearing in Organizer

Found what appears to be another problem in PSE8. Roughly 30-40% of the time, photos edited from the Organizer do not appear in the Organizer after saving. Select a photo in the Organizer, Select Quick Edit from the Orange Edit tab at top right, make edits, Save As with save in version set and include in organizer checked, close the photo. Photo saves to folder location correctly with "_edited-1" appended to file name. Photo frequently does not appear in the organizer in a Stack with the original like it is supposed to. Manually dragging the photo into the organizer from the folder adds it to the Catalog, proving it was not added like it was supposed to be. In one case, after dragging the photo into the organizer and selecting both photos to create a Stack, the Stack option was not availalbe in the right click menu (or in any menus). Had to shutdown and restart PSE8 to be able to Stack the photos. These were large JPG photos made with Canon 7D. If somebody knows a workaround or possible cause, let me know. Otherwise this is another one for a PSE8 update to resolve.

There is a limit to the file size the Organizer will handle. Here is aTechNote dealing with PSE 5/6. I don't know if it also applies to PSE 8:

Some Aperture stills not appearing in iMovie 11 Media Browser

Hello all,
I have been importing images into Aperture for a while now and just realized that iMovie (09 and 11) are not reading some of the stills I have stored in it. I have made sure that all my images are stored in an Aperture managed library and not as reference files. When I start up iMovie it takes a while and scans for new videos but I'm concerned with the stills that are not appearing. I can see the project and album titles appearing in the Media Browser but iMovie states that there are no files inside. I've also told Aperture to always share previews with iLife and iWork. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Welcome to the forums.
The fact that you are able to see the Ap library and the project suggests that there maybe no previews available for that project.
At the top of the Library tab is a little cog, within here is an option for previews, also in the Ap preferences is another option for creating previews, check that these are set correctly.

Photos not appearing

I have a new ipad and when I press on phots in my email, the d not appear in the photo album. What am I doing wrong?

Are you pressing and holding on the photo until you then get the option to 'Save Image' ? They should appear in your 'Saved Photos' album in Photos (the album itself won't appear until there is at least one photo in it)

New Photos not appearing in iPhoto but are in Show Contents

Hello,
I am have a few issues with iPhoto.
1. My last two imports of photos do not appear. the Last import is showing photos from back in 2013. If I Show Contents I can drill down and see in Master, Original a 2014/04/12 & 13 folder with sub folders and all the pictures. I made a not of the file names and back in Iphoto I tried to search for the image name but it did not retrn any results
2. I have had to force quit iPhoto 2-3 times in the past two days
3. Today when I open iPhoto, the Events do not show photo is is a black box. If I scroll up and down it then shows some photos, like I would nomally see.
Do this issue seem to indicate a problem with iPhoto, is there an index type issuse.. can I rebuild iPhoto in some way
For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
Thanks

For point 1, can i delete the folders in the "Show Content" option and reimport them?
No. If you know the file name of the photos that are not showing do a search form them with the search tool:
If the image shows up Control (right) - click on it and select Show Event from the contextual menu.
If it does'nt kdo the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

Photos not appearing in photostream

I have updated my iphone 4s to ios 7.0.3. Now when I take photos they are not appearing in my photostream. I always take photos by going into the app, never the lockscreen.

I have tried EVERY suggestion but still my phone will not move photos into the photostream folder OR show them on my 2 other devices. Like some others I have updated my phone and that is when the problems started.
Any other suggestions PLEASE someone.

Email attachment photos not appearing as thumbnails

When I receive a Yahoo email using Safari, the email attachment preview photos appear as a grey box with an inner blue box with a question mark in the middle. When I checked my Yahoo email using Firefox, the email attachment preview photos also do not appear. They show up as a gray box with a broken image icon in the upper left corner. The difference between the two is that in Safari, I am unable to download the pictures and view them at all. Get a securedownload thing. In Firefox, I am able to download the pics successfully. The preview photos (thumbnails) used to appear at the bottom of my email messages and I was able to click on them and download. My question is: How do I fix this problem of not being able to view the attachment photo previews (ya know the ones beside the words "Scan and save this photo to your computer"?

Hi Lisa
Strange this would occur on both browsers. This may be another Yahoo problem. Last night, images did not appear in my Yahoo Mail. This morning they are back. Do you still see the problem? If you do...
Are you seeing the image problem on other web site pages, or is this specific to Yahoo? If occurring on various web sites in Safari usually indicates the "display images when page opens" box is not checked in the Safari Preferences>Appearance panel. The counterpart setting in Firefox would be Content>Load Images Automatically.
If not, are you using any 3rd party Internet blocking software?
