Why won't Iphotos show up in Imovie- even if it is opened

I am trying to place photos in my IMovie, but it says "Open iphoto ti see ohitis from your iPhoto Library in this list. IT IS OPEN?
It won't populate with my iphoto pictures

Hi
Depends on which iPhoto Library You are using. As iMovie looks only in the one in
Your User Account / Photos / iPhoto Library
So If You in iPhoto address Your material to an iPhoto Library on an external Hard Disk - then iMovie can not find it and it's content.

HT3669 Now that the driver update allows my HP printer to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

Now that the driver update allows my HP all-in-one to scan, why won't it show up in Image Capture?

According to IC's help:
If you can’t see your scanner in the list, refer to the documentation that came with your scanner to see how to scan images.
Alternatively, quit IC, reset your AIO in Print&Fax prefPane, relaunch IC, and see if that lists it.

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc?

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc? I can't open existing projects or create new ones. Nothing happens when I try to open a project: alsop, nothing happens when I click 'Create' when trying a make a card, book, etc. All very frustrating.

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?
Post back with the result.

Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

Why won't Apple show in my Common files?

Why won't Apple show up in my common files when I try to update my Iphone

I assume Canon 70D came after Lr4 was no longer being fitted with new camera support (i.e. when Lr5 was released).
(feel free to double-check that assumption - if wrong, then forget the rest of this post..).
Remedies:
* upgrade to Lr5, or
* convert to DNG (using free Adobe Converter).

Why won't contacts sync to iPod classic even though music and calendars do?

Why won't contacts sync to ipod classic even though music and calendars do?

I have found a way. Not elegant, but it does work.
Itunes looks for a contact list on your mac. But, if you are signed up for iCloud, it appears your contacts are actually on iCloud, not your Mac. So, you see your address book (left column) shows headings for "on my mac" and for "iCloud". If you select "on my mac", no contacts appear.
However, you can drag contacts or groups of contacts from the iCloud list to the on my mac list. They will then sync to your iPod classic.
Of course, you'll have to periodically some housecleaning as you modify the contacts that are in the cloud, but it does work.

Why won't my mpeg import into imovie?

Hi,
Just got a new macbookpro 17inch. Liking it but having to learn the switch to mac. I have an mpeg file i want to try to resize, but imovie doesn't seem to recognize it at all. I thought macs were supposed to be the computers where everything just worked. Why won't it let me take this in? I thought mpegs were fairly common and quicktime has no problem opening it. Am I using the wrong program? Do I need to go back onto my ancient Toshiba and use Windows Movie Maker just to resize a video?

I wonder why apple didn't just make it so that imovie could read those files. If windows movie maker can than it must be possible to do. Wouldn't they have anticipated that someone might take video on a hand held camera and then want to edit that video in some way? Is there some reason or advantage of them having made it this way instead of not just making the program do everything that someone might want to do?
There is a problem regarding the difference in technologies. QT Is Apple's proprietary multimedia software system. It is modeled on magnetic film strips and/or video tape which employ separate audio and video heads/tracks for playback. MPEG-1 files, on the other hand, contain a single stream of data which is composed of interspersed blocks of audio and video data. Thus, the different technologies require different "engines" to work properly. Since Apple only supports its own technology base as it applies to rigid standards, anything outside this scope is not supported. For instance, QT is very particular when it comes to files being properly terminated and proper time coded while muxed formats like MPEG-1, MPEG-2, VOB, Flash, etc. files are notorious for having broken time codes since these files rely on the physical interspersing of data blocks. Windows files are also very rely on FourCC codes/extension for proper playback while QT files frequently rely on the specific data instead for proper playback. In addition, files like MPEG-2 are edited at the GOP (group of pictures) level which normally consist of a repeated cycle of I-, P-, and B-frame types (e.g., IBBPBBPBBPBBPBB) while QT files are edited at the individual frame level. And so on and so forth. While some applications may contain "hybrid" engines to handle multiple technologies, Apple has typically supported its own technologies. They are, for instance, not in the habit of supporting codecs contained in the AVI file container which Microsoft dropped a decade ago but which is still in such common use by Windows users that it has not been allowed to die a dignified death. In short, Apple is looking ahead to the new codecs which are highly scalable and very versatile in terms of data rates/file size efficiency which can handle anything from e-mail clips up to SD content and beyond to full HD encodings. While an MPEG-1 VCD may offer compatibility with a wide range of older devices it does not offer the same quality to storage capacity ratio offered by H.264/AAC encoded files.
how did you quote just specific parts and make them blue.
I use the Level 4 mini text editor.
Are you typing in your own html codes or something?
Sometimes. For instance, the new forms are not as HTML "quote" or "line feed" friendly as the old forum. So I no longer indent the blue quoted text and use the "
" (paragraph) to add additional line spacing.

Why won't iPhoto or iMovie updates work after Mavericks update?

Following updating to Mavericks the App Store lists two necessray updates - IPhoto and iMovie. However when I try and update I get an error message saying that they cant be updated from this apple ID. I originally installed them back in the days when I was running Leopard from a CD - No problems since then, but now apparently no go...
Both still work in their current form.
iPhoto 11 ver 9.4.3
iMovie 11 ver 9.0.9
Any ideas?

The updates/replacements for the iLife and iWork apps are free from the App Store. However, you may have to completely delete the apps to get the free download. NOTE the free iWork (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers) have a reduced feature set similar to the iOS and iCloud versions.

Why Won't iPhoto Export My Slideshow?

I import photos to iPhoto from my Canon Rebel. They were taken as RAW. I create a folder and name it within iPhoto. I place 50 images and order them the way I want. I then "Select All" the 50 photos in the folder just to play it safe. I click the Plus button and choose Slideshow. I go through all the steps, selecting the theme, selecting the Apple canned music (so that there won't be a copyright issue), I set my settings... Show Title, play music through slideshow, etc. I then click the Preview button. It works fine! I then tap the Play button. My slideshow fills the screen and does as I have asked it to. I then make sure that my slideshow is selected in the left column (it has not been unselected since I started this maneuver) and I click the Export button at the bottom of the window. HERE IS WHERE, AS I SAID BEFORE, EXPORT DOES NOT WORK.... A dialog box comes up: "Export your slideshow Choose a format based on where you will view your slideshows;___Format:" (I have chosen all three choices many, many times trying to get beyond this point.) "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes" has been selected, BTW. I then hit the export button and the navigator dialog box opens and I choose my folder called iPhoto Slideshows. I click OK. At this point the export progress dialog box opens and sits there... the thumbnail rectangle remains BLACK. The progress bar never changes from its standard GREY. The only text on the export slideshow dialog box remains the same and says: "Exporting Slideshow ..." Fearing there was a hiccup somewhere, I have left this window open and able to work OVERNIGHT, just in case. Nothing. I have tried all three formats. I have changed the destination folder. Nothing.
I have had this problem for months. Have asked this forum for help. I have been told nothing is wrong with iPhoto.
So here's my new question: "What am I suppose to do about this problem that I have explained above?"
I would say my copy of iPhoto is corrupt, if there is nothing wrong with iPhoto in general. Is this a possibility? In which case.... How do I get another iPhoto app without having to pay for it?
Or do you have some other reason this process is not working on my Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)?
This is the fifth time I have had to export all my photos to my laptop and use Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.2.3 in order to finish my projects.
Please help with these EXPORT FAILURE questions.
Thank you, very much.

To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Why won't my movies download into iMovie?

Is there someone who can help me with iMovie?
I have in the past downloaded my movies from my Canon Legria FS21 movie camera. Now I went to download the movies and they won't.
I asked some Chinese people at the local Apple Shop, but their English is like my Chinese, good for general conversation but not for computer language. All I got out of them is that I can't download them.
The files in Finder show on the Canon card as PRC001>MOV00A.MOD, MOV00A.MOI. The file name changes the last digit with each scene, but all have the MOD and MOI ending. Now I have no idea what that means.
Previously they just downloaded, even after I installed Lion, now they won't. I am sorry, I am hopeless at computer terminology but good at using the computer.
Can anyone give me a way of getting those movies into iMovie? Would so appreciate it.

Why won't iPhoto '11 display CR2 tags for Canon 7D raw files

iPhoto '11 won't display CR2 tags for the raw files from my Canon 7D. I didn't have any problem with my Rebel ST or any previous version of iPhoto.
Any help to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.
Allan

What a pity you didn't make the clear in your initial post. Would have saved us both some time.
It might also help to clarify some terminology. What you are calling the "image file number" is the Title of the photo. When you haven't added a tite, iPhoto uses the filename.
You can easily sort Raws from jpegs as Raws are automatically tagged with a keyword on import. So a quick smart album will tell them apart.
As to why it hasn't been fixed, you will have to ask Apple that question, no one here knows and Apple aren't here.

Why won't iPhoto won't open?

iPhoto won't open. The rainbow circle just goes round and the computer sounds like it's about to take off. Can only close with ctrl/option/start button.

Look in the Users/Library/Preferences file for a
com.apple.iphoto.plist
file and delete it, reboot the computer and relaunch iPhoto.
Still having issues, it could be more serious.
Get a new external drive, use Disk Utility in the Utilities folder to Erase> format it HFS+ Journaled and click Erase.
Copy the contents of your use file folders (Music, Documents, Pictures etc) to the external drive.
When finished, disconnect the drive.
Find your Snow Leopard 10.6.x grey disks that came with the computer, stick the first one in and reboot the computer holding the c key.
(iPhoto only comes free on the GREY DISKS, not the white 10.6 upgrade disks)
Second screen in, simply install OS X, when finished and your back in, run Software Update.
That should fix your issues with iPhoto and anything else in OS X as it's simply reinstalled.
If your still having problems, the next step would be to right click on your iPhoto Library and "Show Package Contents" find your "Originals" folder of your pictures and copy those out to another folder in Pictures.
Delete the iPhoto Library, then open iPhoto and import those pictures again.
If everything is fine then your ok, if your still having problems, one or more of the pictures is likely corupted or something is wrong with your user.
You can copy the original pictures folder to the Shared Folder, then go into the System Preferences and create a new user, log into it and copy those shared photos's, import them into iPhoto and see if that works.
Somewhere along the line your going to find out what is causing your issue.
Download the free OnyX and run all it's maintainence and cleaning aspect and REBOOT at the end or you'll be unhappy.

When doing all this, make sure to have two copies of your data files at all times.
