Screen Saver will not recognize photos in iPhoto

I changed the name of a few photos in iPhoto (I have thousands) and now the screen saver prefernce panel says that I have no photos in any folder. In iPhoto all the pictures seem to be present. Any suggestion as to how to access the iPhoto photos for my screen saver.

Where did you change the name of the photos?
Navigate to the iPhoto Library folder (when iPhoto is closed)
Drag the Album.xml file to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto so it will rebuild the file.
Now check Screensaver preferences and see if it helped.
You can also highlight an album within iPhoto and click the desktop icon. This will open screensaver preferences where the album you chose within iPhoto will be chosen to use a desktop or screensaver.

Screen Saver will not always turn on

The screen saver doesn't always activate. If I go into system preferences and 'test' the screen saver, it will later turn on after the selected time (15 minutes). But I often come back to my IMac after several hours, and find that the screen saver has not turned on. I have clicked 'use random screen saver' and that is often unselected when I check it again.
I am the only on who uses this machine, and I have only the default screen savers, no add ins.
I have burned the itunes image in the screen after only 8 months of use. Very frustrating.
Any ideas?

Try locating and deleting these two preference/plist files:
~(yourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.desktop.plist

My Photos as Screen Saver will not 'save'

When I select my own album or event to use as the screen saver for my new apple tv, it never seems to 'stick' or save. Everytime I come back into the room, or the next day it seems that the screensaver is reverting back to the built in 'animals' photo slideshow for the screen saver.
I find this incredibly frustrating because all my other apple products (iPad, iPhone, etc) have a great memory and remember all of its settings, etc....
Any ideas?

In all honesty, my Apple TV 2 has been flakey since day one; it was always losing connection to my wireless network (I would have to input the password at least once a day) and now I have the issue with the photos not playing in the slideshow as they should.
I went ahead and I just restored the whole apple tv and so far it appears that everything is working ; I am staying connected and my slideshows are the album that I selected. So far so good.

IDVD 7.0.3 will not import photos from iPhoto

I created a movie with iMovie 06 and imported it into IDVD 7.0.3. All of my chapters imported fine and I was able to import music from iTunes but when I try to get a photo from iPhoto using the media tab, the program says it is accessing iphoto but the photos do not load (at least in the 10 or so minutes I've waited. Anyone know of a solution?
Thanks

OKAY I got it...use slider on right!...Its late...better stop here.

IPhoto 8.1.2 will not accept photos from iPhoto 9.5.1

To begin with I purchased a new 13" MacBook Pro and messed up somewhere in the installation process.
I have an iMac
Model Name:          iMac
Model Identifier:          iMac5,1
Processor Name:          Intel Core 2 Duo
With OS X 10.6.8
iPhoto 8.1.2
Processor Speed:          2 GHz
and a 13" MacBook Pro
Model Name: MacBook Pro
Modle Identifier: MacBookPro 9.2
With OS X 10.9.3
AND 2 copies of iPhoto (8.1.2 & 9.5.1) as listed in System Information, which apparently copied over when I copied to MacBook Pro from Time Capsule.
     1. I copied photos from MacBook to the iMac (using a 8 GB Thumb drive) but I was not successful.
          I believe I deleted the photo library on the iMac and tried to copy it back from the MacBook.
     2. When I try to Open iPhoto I get an alert: You can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto.
     You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto.
Question 1. How can I return to the original iPhoto program on my iMac?( I have the original iLife DVD).
Question 2. How can I restore and/or salvage the photos presently on my MacBook Pro and install them on my iMac?

No early version of iPhoto can open a Library from a later version.
You can try revert the Library with iPhoto Library Manager

Aperture will not recognize photos after failed import?

Hi, I'm running a 13.3" MacBook Pro circa fall 2010 with 10.6.8.
I was uploading photos from an SD card I use with my camera. I accidentally pressed "import all", and Aperture began to import everything on the card. I did not want this, so I stopped it. A pop-up appeared, something about "if I want to finish the import first," I think. I pressed "no." It eventually all stopped after canceling it 1 or 2 more times.
After this happened, I can no longer see the photos on the SD card when trying to import them in Aperture. It just shows a grey background with "Loading Assetts..." at the bottom and the spinning wheel.
Why won't Aperture recognize these photos after this failed import? And how do I fix it!
Thank you, very much.
-P.W.

When you are seeing Aperture stuck on "Loading Assets", try to select that line in the Activity window. If possible, press "Cancel task".
Can you now access the option in the "Import" window and check the setting? Make sure, that "Do not import duplicates" is disabled, and that the "Import Settings" do not exclude any filetypes.
Check the "File Types" brick and the "Raw&Jpeg" pairs brick. Can you now see again the images on the card?
In any case, repair your Aperture library after the force quit. Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Your Aperture library may have become corrupted, so that the Import dialog cannot access the database files inside.

IPhone will not sync photos with iPhoto 8

When I sync the iphone I get this error message: "The iPhone '[user]'s iPhone' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." Everything except photos are transferred from the mac to the iphone. Photos on the iphone camera roll are transferred to iPhoto, but nothing comes back. I have tried erasing, restoring, starting as new iphone, etc. but nothing helps.
Anyone have any ideas?

Well, I tried all the suggestions you all made. Nothing helped. Then, while helping my sleepy little boy go potty, the phone slipped out of my pocket and straight into the loo.
Oh well... Now the solution is just academic for me.
Thanks to all.

HT1338 iMovie will not load photos from iPhoto, how do I fix this?

I am using a brand new MacBook Pro, have read other comments about this problem but found no solution. What's up with this issue? I want to make a slide show using iMovie, like I've done dozens of times with my older macs, am having NO luck with this new iMovie. Paid a lot of $ for this new computer, what's the deal Apple?

I noticed you have a viewer plugin from that site. Could you check whether it is set to "click to play"? If so, you could try having it always activated.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Musicnotes Viewer" and if it says "Ask to Activate", change it to "Always Activate". Then return to the site and reload to see whether it works.
While you are on the Add-ons page... I noticed you have an extension named Media Watch that many users consider unwanted software or even a virus.
On the Add-ons page, if you click Extensions in the left column, can you find Media Watch remove it?
If the Remove button is missing, you probably need to remove some software using the Windows Control Panel, Uninstall a Program. Click the "Installed on" column heading to bring the most recent additions to the top. This typically will reveal that a bundle of (undisclosed) programs was installed along with something you actually wanted. Remove as much as possible here.
Then you can supplement your regular security software with the scanners/cleaners listed in this support article: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].

After iTunes 10.5 and Aperture 3.2 updates, Aperture will not recognize photos in iPhone attached to iTunes.

Any clues to getting images off iPhone now? Worked fine previous. Thanks.

I had the same issue after the updates and using iOS5. I disconnected my iPhone from the Mac, quit iTunes and reconnected my iPhone. Seemed to work. Only can't access the WHOLE camera roll.
Hope this helps someone. If I work out how to get the rest of the roll I'll post back.

Screen saver can't recognize .jpg files in photo folder

I just upgraded my iMac G4 (power PC) from OS X 10.1.3 to OS X 10.4.8 and am having a serious problem with my screensaver (I guess serious is a bit blown out of proportion since for me it is a fancy feature to show off family photos). I know where to look to find my own picture files. And thankfully I don't have the problem of not getting the option to choose my own file like I noticed others have had. But when I go to my pictures file in my home, the screen saver just doesn't recognize picture file formats (I've tried .jpg and .pdf). The files are there in the list, they are just listed in grey and not selectable. Thus the screensaver is black and says in white writing that there are no pictures in my file. I'm stumped. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
iMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) recently updated from 10.1.3

I know you don't select individual photo files for the screen saver, but when I pick a folder (that contains photos recognizable by preview or iphoto) that is in my "photos" file in my home, the screen saver does not recognize that there are any photo files in it. And by the way, downloading new .jpg files from my camera in my new OS X 10.4.8 did not solve the problem. The strange thing is that the "desktop" program can see the files (both old photos that were created in OS X 10.1.3 and my newly created files). Weird and annoying!

ITunes will not sync Photos with iPad

iTunes 11.1.5 will not sync photos from iPhoto 9.5.1 to an iPad running IOS 7.1.1....
The sync will not complete it just spins forever on 'importing photos'.... I have always selected Sync photos from 'iPhoto' and 'Selected albus,s, Events and Faces.... I typically only sync around 20 photos between the two but now iTunes will not add photos to the iPad nor delete photos from the iPad....
Since these photos were added with iTunes I can not manually delete them from the iPad....
If I deselect 'Sync Photo from iPhoto' the sync will complete but the photos are not deleted from the iPad....
I suspect that iTunes may be looking for a previous release of iPhoto (since the photo library was 'upgraded' to iPhoto 9.5.1 so it just seems logical that iTunes may not be recognizing the new and improved iPhoto library??
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
John Jones

The photos won't get lost.
You don't sync photos to the computer using iTunes.
Import them to the computer like you would with any camera.
Then delete them from the iPad and re-add them using iTunes. This gets them out of the camera roll.
See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
