Photo library is missing in iMovie

• Photos library forgotten intermittently in iMovie

  Hey everybody!

  I'm helping a friend with his computer which is having a weird problem where iMovie forget intermittently the computer's default photo library.

  I searched the forums and feel a little Google-Fu to no results. Hoping that someone here has heard of him and can help.

  Hardware specifications:

  iMac 21.5 "(retina 4K, end of 2015)"

  3.3 Intel Core i7, 16GB, Iris Pro graphic 6200

  10.11.5 OSX

  Photos Version: 1.5 (370.42.0)

  Version of iMovie: 10.1.2

  Symptom of failure:

  When you open iMovie library of Photos may not appear in the sidebar called "libraries."

  Friend is then unable to take pictures from Photos to slide directly into the timeline without doing it manually by moving pictures on the desktop, then in iMovie.

  Temporary difficulties (though not ideal):

  Opening and closing iMovie has 50-75% likely to appear at the library.

  Notes:

  1. a friend has a large library of Photos (600 GB and more) of his travels and compiles pictures and videos to family and friends.

  2. due to the huge amount of space needed for ALL of its data/backups (not only the pictures), she was sold and configure a Lacie 5big network RAID (20 to total)

  3. the iMac internal 2 TB HDD software account and installed OSX. Its Home folder is located in the 5Big and OSX heading towards it.

  4. the question is extremely intermittent, opening and closing of the application while the photo library is present can remove next time, iMovie is open.

  Things I've tried:

  -Creation of a new library of Photos (empty) adding like 20 pictures and then defines it as the default library in preferences. (Question persists)

  -Updated all updates of software available.

  -Re-install OSX 10.11 and then upgrade to 10.11.5 again.

  -Checked to make sure that 5Big is not put the discs "to sleep" after a while, removing the connection to OSX. (It is not)

  -Check all the cables and connections to make sure that the drive is connected properly and safely.

  -Machine closed down, started 5Big first, he gave 10-15 seconds to establish and then lit iMac to see if OSX has had enough time to 'find' the iMovie library.

  -Make sure that the Photos (the application) is closed before opening iMovie, tried also with Photos open before you open iMovie. (Issue still present in both scenarios)

  I guess something is in conflict with OSX and RAID 5Big... but I have no idea where to start looking.

  Help, please! Please and thank you!

  Aaron, your friend already tried to repair the photo library?   Repair is described on this help page: repair your library

  https://help.Apple.com/photos/Mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

  The external drive file system is compatible with Photos for Mac?  If the format of the disc is not Mac OS extended (journaled) it won't work perfectly.

  And the complete folder on this drive?  How was the link created?  What is the home folder encrypted by safe?

• Photos of the app and iMovie problems

  In iPhoto, you can drag and drop files directly into iMovie, but since I have upgraded to the new Photos app I have to drag on the desktop then in iMovie. Does anyone know a fix for this... If it exists?

  Your system photo library must appear in iMovie with your other libraries (such as iTunes) in the list in the upper right panel, avoiding any need of drag-and - drop.

• Photo from library missing in iMovie 09

  I installed my OS to El Capitan 10.11.3.   My photos are missing in iMovie 09.   iMovie are not references to the correct library.   How can I select the correct library?

  Unfortunately, even if Apple does not indicate it as incompatible, versions of iMovie earlier that more later (10.1.1) do not work correctly with El Capitan and problems with still images have been widely reported.  (iMovie ' 09 is version 8).  I wrote something about it, but of course most people don't see it until it's too late important considerations before the update to El Capitan

• I DELETED VIDEOS FROM PHOTO LIBRARY AND THEY REMOVED OFF THE COAST OF IMOVIE!

  So I was about to export a video to my iphone out of storage ram. So I decided to remove the videos from the library until I discovered, it removes off imovie! I didn't know that! Like imovie takes lots of storage. I deleted the videos of recently deleted, so now they are gone!

  Is it possible to restore them?

  And if you're advising me to download something, no malware or viruses please.

  If you have enabled iCloud photo library, that's how he wanted to work. iCPL synchronizes all changes and actions, including deletions, across all your devices and computers.

  The only way for you to restore these files is from a backup, preferably on your computer.

• How can I get the iMovie video files in the photo library?

• My iMovie includes an iPhoto library but not my photo library. How do I update to include Photos?

  I didn't use iMovie for awhile, but have been the installation of the updates. Now, I want to start a new project with pictures of my request for Photos. The photo library is not displayed in the list of iMovie libraries. How do you get pictures of Photos for use in iMovie?

  Try opening the pictures before you open iMovie. Some reported that they can open pictures and close it, and then open iMovie. IMovie is inconsistent about the display of the photo library, sometimes it works ok and other times it is necessary to open the first photos to iMovie of wake-up call that it is all over.

• iMovie and photo library

  How can I open my of Foto-photoslibrary in iMovie (10.2.2 It is gray and I cannot import into iMovie.

  You do not import the photo library in iMovie. iMovie automatically displays the photo library. When you say that it is grey, I assume you mean in the preferences of Photos. This means that it is the library system, which is what you want. If you don't see the photo library in the library list in iMovie try opening the pictures before you launch iMovie.

• I can tell iMovie 10.1.2 that my photo library is located on an external drive?

  Hello, since the 10.1.2 update my library of Photos became invisible to iMovie.

  Other threads indicate clear that it shouldn't be.

  I think that the reason is that it is on an external drive, but iMovie does not detect.

  Is that what I can do about it? My internal drive does not have a sufficient space.

  Your photo library is designated as the library systems? In preferences/general pictures you can see the location of your photo library opened and select it in the library system. If it's already the library system, using as the library system will be grayed out. The library on an external drive should not be a problem for iMovie.

• iCloud photo library is not available

  I have an imac with mac sierra.  When I go to system-> Preferences-> icloud and try to choose 'photos', he keeps by unchecking it. no error message. When I opened the photos app and go to Preferences-> iCloud library its selected.

  They both should not be selected?

  Also at the top left there are 'photos' I thought showed pictures.  under the albums, there is a folder "all photos". Celle one of the high 'photos', seems to have stopped to update, as the choice of background under albums, "all photos" has all the latest photos and continues to update.  Anyone know if this is normal or what is wrong?

  I have an imac with mac sierra.  When I go to system-> Preferences-> icloud and try to choose 'photos', he keeps by unchecking it. no error message. When I opened the photos app and go to Preferences-> iCloud library its selected.

  I had which also occur at first. Is photos showing a short message 'check library' before it resets the check mark for iCloud > Photos?

  In this case, fix your photo library.  After I fixed the library, it was possible to activate system preferences-> icloud-> Photos.  See this help page: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.2/?lang=en#/pht6be18f93

  Important: You must back up your library before repair of your library.

  • If the photo is open, choose Photos > Photos of quit smoking.
  • Press Option-command and double-click on the Photos icon in the Applications folder (or click the Photos icon in the Dock). The library of repair window opens.
  • Click on fix to rebuild your library.

  The second problem can also indicate a problem with the library:

  under the albums, there is a folder "all photos". Celle one of the high 'photos', seems to have stopped to update, as the choice of background under albums, "all photos" has all the latest photos and continues to update.  Anyone know if this is normal or what is wrong?

  Photos seems to be missing in the 'Photos' album, but the power be sorted differently from the album picture all.  Select one of the photos in all the Photos that does not appear in the Photos, ctrl-click and use the command 'display in the moment '.  If she does not appear in the Moments in Photos, fix the library.

• Photos edited in Photos App is missing after upgrade to MacOS Sierra

  After updating to Mac OS Sierra, all my versions published of my photos is missing.

  Updated to:

  MacOS (10.12) Sierra

  App photos (Version 2.0 (445.1.15))

  It is said:

  -Update of El Capitan Sierra.

  -When the update, I started App Photos and update the library (260 GB).

  -A took the Photos App in the meantime round.

  -After all the thumbnails update was missing, but the pictures would be accessible by clicking on them.

  -Photos App must rebuild now all the thumbnails, but the photos I edited is still missing and even can not be seen by clicking on it (like the non-edited).

  -The missing files are a .jpeg and raw (.nef) from Nikon files.

  

  Have you tried:

  -Existing photo editing works

  -Edit photos (previous edition) missing persons, sometimes shows the missing picture, but it is not always a new tile.

  Any suggestions of how to make the pictures to update modified pictures?

  Did you turn on your mac to remove duplicates or similar cleaning applications?  Some cleaning tools are not safe to use.

  How do you change the photo in question? She has been published with adjustments to Photos or have you used an extension of photo editing?

  -Edit photos (previous edition) missing persons, sometimes shows the missing picture, but it is not always a new tile.

  Have you tried to take pictures with missing tiles to the original version in the control panel?

  And pictures can be exported from Photos or you get an error message?

• I do not understand iCloud photo library...

  IM probably having a time above, but I am having trouble with the use of the library.

  I found that the way it worked you take a bunch of photos on your iPhone and then download the ones you want to keep the photo library to icloud. Everyone has signed in the same iTunes account could then download those they loved and keep them locally on their device.

  The way it seems to actually work is that every single photo I take gets downloaded, and then downloaded to each single device on the account and if I delete one of the photos on my phone (for free space, for example) the same pictures are deleted on the iCloud library and all devices!

  is there really no way to selectively download the library and then keep the photos here as a repository of images?

  What is the point of having just pictures on all devices?

  Am I missing something here?

  You ask if it is not possible with iCloud Photos because it was not designed for this.  iCloud is a mirror/sync implementation service that synchronizes all your photos/videos on all of your devices, making them almost immediately available on all your devices, and if you happen to delete a photo or video to a device, it is removed from all devices.

  iCloud was not designed as a storage system traditional cloud based.  If that's what you're looking for, then you will have to look for opportunities to third parties such as Flickr, Dropbox or Google Photos.

  You can also use the function "Optimize iPhone storage" to save space on your device.

• Organization of photo library

  Hello

  I am in the process by putting my main workstation to Windows to Mac. I have a pretty big photo archive (110 GB), that I always organized in the folders as I want - year, photo taken months and I use Bridge and Photoshop for editing (cloud Creative). I really _want_ to take photos but I understand Photos on import organizes all the pictures of the Photoslibrary in folders by date imported. That makes me hesitate. I don't understand. Have tried Googling and Youtubing, but cannot decide what to do. My biggest concern is that if I want to return to using Bridge and Photoshop as my main workflow I'd on the photos in Finder folders organized by photographing year/month - is it possible to export all the photos in the photo library in Finder folders organized by photo date taken?

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Help a total newbie on Mac out. I'm so confused.

  Pictures displays your photo library in two different views:

  1. The sight of Photos show you the photos organized by "Moments." A Moment is a group of photos taken on the same day in the same place.  The times appear firstly by capture date, oldest chronlogically.  You can change the display of the Moments to a view of collections or year for large groups of photos.  Collections are grouping related moments, so you will find pictures of holidays in a collection. The title of the collections and the moments will show catpture date and location, if your photos are tagged with GPS. I mainly use this view to access my photos to the capture date.  Collections and the 'Moments', years are saving me a lot of work, since the consolidation is carried out fully automatically.  I don't have to create folders named by date ranges and places on my own.
  2. The photos in the album 'Pictures' is sort by the date you imported, so that you can easily access the most recent import.

  And Yes, you can export your photos in folders named by date.  Among the export options is the subfolder option "name of the Moment."

  The Masters folder inside the photo library contains the original images, if you copy photos in the library, but it is not intended as a means to access pictures.  Always use the GUI of photos recover photos and pass them to external publishers.  To edit a photo in photoshop, you open the photo in edit mode and run the extension of "External editors" photo editing and select Photoshop as editor.

  Of course, another option is to use the photos without copy photos in the photo library. Is this a bad alternative? Is there any feature that I miss with the option?

  Photos will work this way, but you cannot use iCloud photo library.

  Also, this is not well supported to use the pictures in this way.  Photos has no tools to reconnect the pictures referenced quickly, if you must move the photos to another drive. or if you restore a backup photos, because the leaning reader operation.  You will have a lot of work, if you need to replace your drive with the library or move it to a new computer.  So I can't really recommend.  If you want to manage your photos from the Finder, do not use the Photos for Mac application.

  I prefer to have mage Photos my photos, because it is easy to create albums of the purpose FRO specific to search for photos: the date of capture one titles and legends, the names of the people in the photos, the name of the scene.

  But it is to you, how you want to organize your Photos.  You can use a Mac without the help of pictures.

  If you like Adobe software, why not use Lightroom?  It supports the referenced pictures and integrates well with Photoshop.
