TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc  AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums.  Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues.  What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer.  Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
    How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

  • HT201272 why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    why can't I re-download already purchased music from the itunes store?

    What country are you in ? Re-downloading music isn't currently possible in all countries (the record companies need to agree to it for each country). If you are in a country where music can be re-downloaded, then if the tracks are still in the store then they should show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes.

  • Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?

    Why can I no longer backup my Iphone to Outlook using ITunes?
    for 6 months I never had a problem as it was indicated on Itunes but now the word OUTLOOK has disappeared from the screen!

    "Anyone know why? "
    Not I.  I have no such issue, nor does anyone I know.
    "Are we no longer able to use our own music?"
    We are certainly able to use our own music.  I do it often.
    "Is this legal?"
    Is what legal?  That you have an issue with your system?  Yes, that is legal.

    Hello Andra,
    It sounds like you are not able to access the iTunes and App Stores on your iPod touch.  I found an article with steps you can take to address issues like this.  The steps in this article address both the iTunes and App Stores:

  • Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Why can't I download projects from iPhone to computer through iTunes to clear space on my device?

    Yeah, I have this problem too.  Since the HD purchase usually includes the SD movie too, I am perfectly content to watch SD on my Windows computer and HD on my AppleTV.
    Only workaround I've found for this is to buy the HD version of the movie on my iPad.  Then, download it to my computer via iTunes or by transferring it from my iPad.  I hear you can buy it on an iPhone too (4 or 4s) and achieve the same result.
    But that's a terrible workaround.  I have a number of other HD movies I've purchased with previous versions of iTunes, so this is absolutely something that Apple has introduced relatively recently.

  • HT1473 My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud.  How do we do this?

    My girlfriend and I both have iTunes account with our own music libraries and we want to combine our two libraries into one icloude accounts so can both then access our one shared libary at anytime in the cloud.  How do we do this?

    No it is not possible.  Content purchased from the iTunes Store is permanently tied to the account from which it was originally purchased, and Apple does not provide a way to change it.

    Macs:  iTunes Store- About authorization and deauthorization.
    Windows: How to Authorize or Deauthorize iTunes | PCWorld.
    In iTunes you use the Authorize This Computer or De-authorize This Computer option under the Store menu in iTunes' menubar. For Windows use the ALT-S keys to access it. Or turn on Windows 7 and 8 iTunes menus: iTunes- Turning on iTunes menus in Windows 8 and 7.

    De-authorizing Computers (contributed by user John Galt)
    You can de-authorize individual computers, but only by using those computers. The only other option is to "de-authorize all" from your iTunes account.
      1. Open iTunes on a computer
      2. From the Store menu, select "View my Account..."
      3. Sign in with your Apple ID and password.
      4. Under "Computer Authorizations" select "De-authorize All".
      5. Authorize each computer you still have, as you may require.
    You may only do this once per year.
    After you "de-authorize all" your authorized computers, re-authorize each one as required.
    If you have de-authorized all computers and need to do it again, but your year has not elapsed, then contact: Apple - Support - iTunes - Contact Us.

  • Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. any suggestions?

    Now that I upgraded to Maverick on my Mac air, I can not use the power button to shut down the computer anymore. I now have to go to the apple icon in the upper left corner.  Any short cuts instead of going to the apple in the top left corner and hitting shut down.  Doing that all the time, I feel like I am back at work using a "Windows" computer.

    This a is tricky one, but you can still do it. Instead of pressing the power button, hold it down for a few seconds and then you'll see the shut down options dialog pop up.
    I guess they were trying to prevent accidental touching of that button. They did something similar with the Eject button a few versions ago, where you have to hold down Eject instead of just tapping it so that you don't pop out a CD by mistake.

    How can I completely get my iPhone and iPad disconnected from iTunes Match? I don't usually have Cloud access and find iTunes Match to be very annoying.

    Csoud1 is correct. But if you still want to keep your iTunes Match subscribed and did not want to sync with your iOS devices, do the following:
    On you iOS devices, just go to Setting > Music > disable iTunes Match

  • Why can't I change my Nickname or Reviews/Ratings in iTunes Account Info Settings?

    Hello,
    I was messing around some more in iTunes, and went to the iTunes store to change some of my Account Information.  I successfully changed my email and payment info under the heading "Apple ID Summary" ...but I had some issues editing my information in the "Settings" section.
    I will explain what happened, or did not happen, briefly.  My question, for lack of more specific words, is, why will iTunes Store not follow through with these commands?
    All follows in the iTunes Store > Account Information > Settings:
    1)  I clicked on the link "Edit Nickname" so I could change it to something more "mature" (as I made this name when I was about 17 years old).  This link took me to a different screen within iTunes Store, where I typed in my desired new Nickname in the appropriate space.  However, when I clicked "Submit," the screen simply did nothing.  No error message, no successful change, nothing at all...it just stayed the same.
    2)  I tried also to edit the "Reviews and Ratings" history by clicking on the "Manage" link.  This link also led me to a different screen, showing two ratings I had made for games/applications on my iPod touch.  I tried to click the "Remove" link next to each review.  Again, nothing happened...no message at all, the screen simply stayed the same.
    Again, I appreciate any help.  Thanks!

    Apparantly not, and here is the extremely unhelpful reply from Apple support I recieved;
    From Support,
    I understand that you want to change your nickname of your iTunes Store account. I am sure you are anxious at this time and I will do whatever I can to help you right away.
    Jeff, you can change your iTunes Store billing information at any time. When you update your credit card number or billing address through the iTunes Store, any equivalent information you might use with MobileMe, iPhoto, Aperture, or the Apple Store online is also updated.
    To update your billing address or credit card number, follow these steps:
    1) Make sure you're using the latest version of iTunes. It can be downloaded free of charge from the Apple website:
    http://www.apple.com/itunes/download
    Note: Installing the latest version of iTunes will not affect your library or any items in your account that you haven't downloaded.
    2) Click this link:
    iTunes will automatically launch and the sign-in dialog will appear.
    3) If you are not already signed in, you will need to enter your iTunes Store account name and password and then click the Account Info button.
    4) On your Apple Account Information page, click Edit Payment Information
    Make the necessary changes. Your billing address should be exactly the same as the address on your credit card statement and with the United States Postal Service (click "Find a ZIP Code" at http://www.usps.com and follow the onscreen instructions). This is important, because even differences in punctuation, abbreviation, and capitalization can cause payment errors that might prevent you from using the iTunes Store.
    5) When all of the information is up to date, click Done.
    When you update your billing information, the iTunes Store places an authorization hold on your credit card to verify your account information. You might see this authorization request on your online statement. This is not an actual charge; it is simply a test to confirm that your credit card account is active and has credit available to accommodate transactions.
    Authorization requests are automatically removed from your account by your financial institution. The amount of time it takes to remove authorization requests varies by financial institution. If you have any questions about the way your financial institution handles authorization requests, please contact their customer-service department.
    I hope that you will find this information helpful. I will be glad if you let me know that my email reached you in a right spirit.
    Our customers deserve the best and our aim is to ensure that each and every customer of Apple must be happy and satisfied. If you have any questions or concerns in future, please let us know so that we can help you better.
    Thank you for being a part of iTunes family. We are glad to have you as our customer.
    Have a great day!
    Sincerely,
    Now, tell me how that helps at all. They almost directly change the subject,....Jeff, we understand you need to change your nickname....next sentence is telling me how to change my billing.
    Also, i went through the process of changing billing and other info, which of course, didnt do ANYTHING to help change the nickname.
