Some photos from iPhoto are not appearing in iMovie

I have successfully imported over 2,000 pictures from iPhoto into iMovie. However, my latest attempt did not work- these photos were from a CD scanned by somebody else. The photos are in iPhoto, but when I pull up the folder in iMovie, it is blank.
Any idea why??? Thanks.

You should be able to tell in iPhoto. If not, right click on the photo in iPhoto and select "Reveal in Finder". You should see the file. Right click on it and select "Get Info"

  • Desktop photo from iPhoto does not appear in iPhoto

    MacBook Pro, approximately one year old, OS 10.8.5 and iPhoto '11
    In System Preferences>Desktop and Screen Saver, I have the Desktop set to use iPhoto, changing randomly every 1 minute. Some photos it uses are not photos that appear anywhere in iPhoto. Today I saw one go by that I want to access and use for other purposes, but it's not in iPhoto! Could the Desktop rotation be accessing photos in some other form?

    If your iPhoto library is offline, or you switched between iPhoto libraries, the System preferences will revert to using the system default photos instead.
    All System default Desktop pictures are stored in the system library. Perhaps you can find the photos you are looking for in this folder:
    /Library/Desktop Pictures/  (in Lion or later, if I remember correctly)
    Open the "Library" folder at the top level of your Macintosh HD and open the folder "Desktop Pictures".  Be careful, when you browse this folder. Don't change anything.

  • When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive.  What am I ding wrong?  Using latest version of mountain lion.

    When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk.  I am using latest version of mountain lion.  Am I doing something wrong?

    First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
    This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

  • Movies from iPhoto do NOT appear in iMovie

    When I click on "iPhoto Videos" nothing is displayed, although I even made a Smart Folder in iPhoto that had the keyword "movie" just to prove to myself I do have movies in there.
    My movies are in MPEG-1 format, and play fine in iPhoto. I can't import them manually because iMovie blocks going in to the iPhoto folder in the import window directly (kinda neat safety feature... as long as the "iPhoto Videos" feature works... which it doesn't)
    Anyone got around this one yet?

    Hi Bruce -
    I have the same problem. (Your video clips must be from a Sony digital camera - they only use MPEG-1 muxed video).
    There are several things you could do.
    1) buy a different brand digital camera (Canon uses AVI - which is fully compatible with iMovie) for all future video clips
    2) complain to Sony that muxed video will not work with iMovie.
    (Muxed means the audio and video are compressed together - so after being convereted to iMovie, the video will play, but the audio is thrown out.)
    3) complain to Apple that all Sony's video are not supported in iMovie.
    4) get a third party converter, and batch convert them all to MPEG4 (you can convert to DV, too, but in my clips, DV increased the file sizes 10x). I use MPEG Streamline. Free and quick (about an hour to convert 50 or so short clips) The biggest headache is that the date and time after conversion is wrong. Grrrrrr Now I have to go back and reset the dates manually for 12 months worth of video clips. Grrrrrr again.
    5) Then, dump the newly converted and date-corrected clips into iPhoto, and they will all show up the next time you open iMovie (after a "conversion" process that takes a while.)
    I hope that helps!
    I might have gotten some of the details wrong.... hopefully some of the smart people reading this post will correct any errors I've made!
    thanks -

  • Some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    some photos in iphoto are missing and there are blank thumbnails which when i try to open them show an exclamation sign

    The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
    Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    I need to be able to print or export some photos from iPhoto with the date the photos were taken.  Need this for a legal case.  Any suggestions?

    The date they were taken us in the EXIF data and is included in the export
    However it is trivial to modify it so I doubt that it would hold water in court

    Hi,
    What update rollup are you running on the DPM 2012 R2 server ?  DPM 2012 R2 UR5 introduced a new refresh feature that will re-enumerate data sources on an individual protected server.

    Sheetal,
    Did you ever find a reason as to why the bars were not printing? I'm experiencing the same problem with Apex 4.1.1. Only the first part prints. Here is the print tag:
    <print mode="MultiPage" print_all_columns="true" columns_on_every_page="2" fit_timescale_to_end_of_page="false">
    I've changed some of these settings to no avail.

  • Some Photos in Library are not showing on iPhoto

    I imported some photos from another Mac to my MacBook Air and organized them in several events.  All went well until I had a large number of photos (and some videos) which took a long time to transfer and iPhoto was not responding for over an hour.   I forced quit the iPhoto and now when I go back, I see the events that I had created but they are empty (photos are not showing).   When I tried to re-import the photos, it says the photos are duplicate which I assume it means photos exist in the photo library.  My question is how do I get the photos existing in the library to be visible on iPhoto.  Thanks.

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Photos from recent event not appearing in photo library

    I have recently uploaded photos from a recent trip. I have named the event and it is listed and accessible through 'events'. The event is also listed under the 'recent' menu. However, the photos are not appearing in my 'photos' library!
    I want to sort the photos into my own order manually, but when I access the photo through the events menu, the option to sort photos manually is blanked out.
    Any help would be gratefully received! Many thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    However, the photos are not appearing in my 'photos' library!
    Are you referring to the Photos mode in iPhoto? That mode cannot be sorted manually. Send a feature request to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
    A workaround is to create a regular album and add the entire library to it. Then you will be able to manually sort the photos. New photos added to the library and the album will initially be located at the bottom of the album's window.
    Albums give you the most control over displaying of the photos.

  • Edited photos from Mac are not read on PC

    i have recently edited some photos on my macbook and transfer them to an usb flash drive, they are .tiff and .jpeg files which i double checked twice on my mac that they were succesfully transfered to my usb, once i load the usb on my pc these folders that had the files appear as empty and some have the files but with a changed extension not readeable as image files, what is going on here? what i did wrong? i use the exact same method on photoshop on both my pc and mac to make the original raw files into .jpeg and .tiff.
    thanks

    I just exported some photos from aperture to jpeg and they DO load on my pc, but still not the older TIFF and JPEG files that i first back up

  • Dependents from IT0021 are not appearing in IT0167 for Benefits Plans

    Hi All,
    Our client upgraded developement and QA client from 4.6 to 6.0 version. While assigning benefieries to the benefits plans in Dependents tab(IT0167) list of dependents are not appearing. Where in in Production system dependents are appearing, production is still in 4.6 version.
    Regards,
    Karunakar

    Dear,
    It is always required to read the dependent data as on the start date of IT0167. This is because for each plan, there is some dependent eligibility associated and to calculate eligibility, the data come from infotype 0021.
    I would advice you to go through the note 947172. By implementing this note, you will be able to allow employee to edit the existing dependent record instead of delimiting and creating a new dependent record.
    Best Regards,
    Deepak..
