Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5

Why can't I burn in iPhoto 9.5 this was a great feature that is now gone. The burn feature allowed me to back up with full event sections. Keeping everything organized. Now all the DVD I burned prior don't show up in the SHARED folder in iphoto 9.5 Mavericks. You have to import blindly.Not Happy!!!!!

No, you don't import those. Copy them to the Desktop, run the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 on the library and open with iPhoto. If you want any of the photos to be copied into your working library you can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to copy the desired albums or events across.

Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iPhoto that will be viewable on a Windows computer?

Why can't I burn a DVD of photos from my iphotos that will be viewable on a PC using windows?

Darned if I know. What exactly are you doing?
The general answer is to select the photo(s) in iPhoto and export to a desktop folder (file menu ==> export). In the finder right click on that folder and burn to disk

Why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?

[DISCLAIMER: My question is short, but my details are not. This is going to be a LONG read, but I wanted to make sure I provided all you helpful people with as much information as I could so that I could receive the best possible solution. So your patience and assistance is greatly appreciated!]
In iMovie [version 4.0.1], when I click on the Photo button to import pictures into my project from iPhoto, the following error message appears: "No photos were found. To use this feature, you must first create a photo library using iPhoto version 2.0 or later."
However... I AM using iPhoto [version 4.0.3]... with a HUGE Library containing 2000+ images and several created albums. These features work just fine within the confines of that program. They just aren't integrating with iMovie correctly. So... why can't I see my iPhoto files in iMovie?!!?!
FIRST ATTEMPT:
When I checked iMovie help, all it said was "You must open iPhoto at least one time on your computer to be able to access your iPhoto library from iMovie." I've obviously done this, having used the program plenty. Didn't work.
SECOND ATTEMPT:
When I checked this forum, the closest thread I could find that was similar to my problem suggested deleting the iMovie preferences file [com.apple.imovie3.plist]. It was later added that deleting the iPhoto preferences file [com.apple.iphoto.plist] as well had solved the problem immediately for that user. Tried it. Didn't work.
THIRD ATTEMPT:
When I checked the Apple Info site, their main solution was to try recreating the AlbumData.xml file which is used to populate the photo listing. Now this file can usually be found in the iPhoto library folder and I know how to recreate it. But THIS is where I think my main problem lies.
Unlike most users, my iPhoto Library is actually located on an external hard drive under "my hard drive name"/Pictures/iPhoto Library. When I checked this folder for the AlbumData.xml file , it simply did not exist. So as a test, I created a new iPhoto Library also on my external hard drive but the AlbumData.xml file was not created with it. I opened up iMovie just to see if it was able to browse the iPhoto library properly. But it still didn't work.
However, when I created a test iPhoto Library directly onto my Mac's hard drive, the AlbumData.xml file was indeed created with it. And when I opened up iMovie again... lo and behold, the iPhoto library finally appeared. It worked. But unfortunately, this solution still doesn't help me at all!
Thing is, I don't have enough space on my Mac's direct hard drive to move my entire iPhoto Library there (where it works). That's why I am using an external hard drive to store (more space). So is there ANY way I can keep my iPhoto Library located on my external hard drive and have the library, albums and files recognized in the other iLife applications like iMovie???
I feel I've tried everything, folks Could someone please please help me?!!?!
[my specs are listed below if that helps any]
Thanks in advance,
a very disgruntled wizkid :\
PowerBook G4 12" [1GHz, 256MB, 40GB] Mac OS X (10.3.9) GeForce FX Go5200 32MB, Matshita DVD-R UJ-816, Maxtor External Hard Drive [250GB, Firewire & USB 2.0]

My main concern at this point is that the AlbumData.xml file is unable to create itself onto the External HD. When I view the file [that I created from my test iPhoto Library on my Mac's HD] in finder, it appears to be a Final Cut Pro type of extension. Is something wrong with my External Hard Drive in that regard? Is it just incapable of storing those file types??? Hmmm...
As for the alias solution... instead of alias-ing the "Pictures" folder like you have, I've already tried creating an alias of the "iPhoto Library" folder on my External HD and placing it within the "Pictures" folder on my Mac. But when I tried to "Find Library" upon launching iPhoto, the prompt box would not allow me to choose the "iPhoto Library" alias I had created. So I couldn't open it.
To be honest, I'm not exactly sure how to create an alias correctly... or perhaps I should try alias-ing the actual "Pictures" folder (like you have) rather than just the "iPhoto Library" folder, but I don't know how to do that correctly either.
FYI... I am mounting my External HD before I launch iPhoto.
Also, I have also tried dragging the AlbumData.xml file that I created from the test iPhoto Library into my active iPhoto Library folder residing on my External HD. It would appear to be in the folder, but as soon as I clicked somewhere else in finder and than back into the folder, it would disappear. Not sure how to "point to it" either.
Karl, think maybe you could provide some hints on how to properly alias something or "point" to the AlbumData.xml file? I'd try it myself, but I don't wanna screw anything up by accident.
PS. As stated in the post above, there's a possibility my External HD is no longer Mac OS formatted... at which point I throw my hands up into the air and scream!
thanks for the tips thus far... everyone's so nice and helpful... I love it!

Why can't i access my iPhoto library from my epson application

why can't I access my iphoto library fron my epson aplication

There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Why can't I burn a playlist with iTunes ver 11.0.4? I've done almost everything that I know except try the old ver 9.x.x, which nobody can find! Apple is no longer as good as when their mater was alive!!

Can you explain why it did not help?
Can you select a playlist?
Can you right click on a playlist name?
Does a menu pop up when you right click on a playlist?
Do you see Burn playlist to disc when you right click on a playlist?
Are you told to put a disc into the disc drive?

Why can't photoshop access my iPhoto images?

I am using Photoshop CS2 and just upgraded to iLife 11. I had no problems accessing images with old iPhoto. I am also having trouble backing up my iPhoto library to external HD. get error -36. I repaired permissions, downloaded iPhoto update and OSX 10.6.8. Any suggestions? I am also unable to create new projects, books, etc in iPhoto . The program freezes and I have to force quit.

1. Photoshop can access the photos in iPhoto and in exactly the same way it always did.
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
2. The -36 error is an i/o error. Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Why can't I burn a backup CD?

Help! I can't burn a CD anymore. I try it in finder and get a can't communicate error...in iTunes...same thing...in iPhoto, (you guessed it...same thing)
I can read my created CD's just fine with no problems (those I have created as well as those from Apple [iLife 6.0, system DVD's that came with it etc.]). I have fixed permissions, erased and reinstalled 10.4 that came with my mini, and still have this problem.
The finder acknowledges a blank CD, but won't write to it...iTunes same thing...iPhoto the same thing.
Burner need replaced, or is it an OS problem? CD's bad (have sucessfully written to 35 of the 50 in the spindle Memorex CD-R Music)?

Launched Disk Utility, and repaired permissions. Put the Blank CD into the drive, and as always, gave me the option to open with Finder, iTunes, etc. I selected Finder, went back to Disk Utility and noticed something that I have not noticed before. With the MatshitaCD-RW CW-8124 selected, the info on the bottom of the screen in the second column is...
Total Capacity: 0 Bytes
Write Ability: Read Only (CD-R)
Capabilities: CD-ROM, CD-R, CD-RW
Partition Scheme: Unformatted
That doesn't look right to me...why would the capacity not be 700MB, and the write ability be read/write (or something to that effect?) Is there a setting that got changed that I am unaware of? Help? Advice?

Why can't I burn a movie to play in a DVD player?

I made a movie in iMovie well it was more like a slide show I did with pictures and dropped some music in there However when I went to burn the the movie I got a message saying that I only can play this movie in a DVD/DVD rom will not play in a standard DVD player. Then I tried sharing the movie to iDVD but I still can't burn into DVD format for (DVD Player) Why do I have to select new themes in iDVD all I want to do is burn the movie that I created to play in a dvd player.
Thank You

This feature creates a duplicate of your project onto
a CD or DVD ROM. It does not create a video DVD for
playing in a DVD player. Do you want to continue?
This is the message that I received in iMovie when I
went to burn to disc File>Burn to disc
There are two kinds of DVDs we can create from within iMovie.
1. A DVD containing iMovie project files as Mac files. This kind of DVD functions a lot like a hard disk. The File > Burn to disk command burns the iMovie project onto the DVD. This project movie cannot be played on a TV.
Most iMovie projects are too large to fit on a single-sided DVD, which is limited to about 4.6GB of data. One hour of iMovie video requires 12GB of disk space.
2. A DVD containing files encoded (converted) in the MPEG-2 format, which DVD players know how to play. This type of DVD can be played on a TV. When converting your iMovie project to the MPEG-2 format, iDVD compresses the video and audio so (about) two hours of video can fit on a single-sided DVD.

Why can't spotlight see my iPhoto Library?

So, my wife's iPhoto (version 9.4.3, 10.8.5, iMac, intel core 2 duo, 8 gigs ram) couldn't find some of her older photos from pre-2006. I went to her pictures folder to see if I could find the photos in her library, and her library wasn't there--no icon, nothing. I then did a spotlight search, and spotlight couldn't find her library either. So I went to her Time Machine backup and her library was there, and I only went back a few hours to retrieve it. But, without even reinstalling the library to her computer, when I went back to her computer, her library reappeared, and when I opened iPhoto I could see the older photos. But, there's still a problem. The iPhoto Library photo doesn't show up in her spotlight searches. My iPhoto Library shows up in my spotlight when I do a search on my laptop, so I think there's still something wrong either with her spotlight or with her library folder. I repaired the permissions on her iMac and restarted it. Anyone have any ideas as to why spotlight can't see her library even though it's now opening in iPhoto? (BTW, I can still access her library through Finder as well.)

So, iPhoto can find the library now, but Spotlight cannot. The Library is in the correct folder (Pictures), but it vanished the other day for no reason. The last time my wife updated her iPhoto she said it had to "rebuild the library database" or something to that effect. I don't know if that had anything to do with it's sudden disappearance, then reappearance after I found it in her Time Machine Backup. My question now is why wouldn't Spotlight be able to see her iPhoto Library? In other words, when I do a search for it in Spotlight, the only thing that pops up in the search field when I input "iPhoto Library" is the application, and the application can open the Library now. Something is still wrong. Could it be a spotlight problem?

Why can i not open my iphoto library??can somebody pls help me resolve my this problem..

Open iPhoto and all your photos will appear, if you are looking for the folder of iPhoto is on the sidebar of a finder window called "Pictures" and there's a file called "iPhoto Library", press control and click on the file and choose "show package contents" and look for the photos...
