Iphoto 11
Itunes 11.2.2.(3)
Trouble with Iphoto :
To make a Diashow in Iphoto11, the Musicsource shows Itunes but the list ist inactive (empty),
I cannot add my own personal music to my diashows anymore, but I did this for years.
No efficient Helpsupport available.
Can anybody help me out?

Can you access it from other applications?
Where is the iTunes library located?
In HD - gilbertgraf - music - itunes
And the answer to Terence Devlin's question? That is really important. We need to see, if the problem is due to iPhoto or iTunes. If other applications also do not show the iTunes library, you need to troubleshoot iTunes and not iPhoto.
Can you access it from other applications?
If you open any other application that uses the Media browser - Pages, Keynote, GarageBand, Mail - do they show iTunes music, when you use the Media Browser?
If no other application is showing you iTunes Library, rebuild it by removing the file "iTunes Library.xml". The procedure is described her:
How to recreate iTunes Library http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
But if you can access the iTunes library from other applications post back with more information.
Thank you Léonie,
I cannot access iTunes from any other programm. Same story : "start iTunes to see the list.."
I tried do recreate iTunes Library, but this was complicated, with no effect.
But what I found out that I cannot access Iphoto from another program either, impossible to
import pictures from Iphoto in Pages or Word, same trouble "start Iphoto to see the list..."
that's today....
thank you for staying with me
neverchange
That suggests that the problem is not with iPhoto or iTunes but with the underlying system that allows for that sharing to take place.
Reinstall the OS would be the next step.
What is your MacOS X version?
To reinstall as recommended by Terence Devlin: If you are using Lion or later reinstall by booting into Recovery as described here:
For earlier versions use the latest combo updater from the support page. Apple - Support - Downloads
I did a full Recovery OS X 10.7.5.
I have still the same problem.
The iTunes list doesn't shoe up in Iphoto.
The Iphoto doesn't shoe up in "Insert" - panel picture in Word
Insert panale : the files "music" and "pictures" stays empty
:-(
Then try to delete the iApps preferences as described here by Old Toad:
Open your Home/Library/Preferences folder and move these files to the Desktop, if they exist:
com.apple.iApps.plist
com.apple.iApps.lockfile
Then reboot and try accessing the media again from iTunes and iPhoto.
Your Home folder is hidden by default in Lion.
You can reveal it from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder.
Then open the subfolder "Preferences" and look for a the files com.apple.iApps.plist and com.apple.iApps.lockfile.
Move them to the Desktop.
I did this.
result :
One problem is resolved. I can access my Iphotos with other applications like
Word- insert picture - open photobrowser - ....
But I still cannot see my Itunes-list in Iphoto, to add music to a slideshow.
Itunes doesn't show up in other apllications.
I did a full Recovery OS X 10.7.5.
I reinstalled Iphoto from my CD
Have you opened your iTunes library after the reinstall? Does it work well?
pleaese explain?
pleaese explain?
No other application is seeing your iTunes library.
So the problem must be with iTunes or the iTunes library.
You already reinstalled the system. You rebuilt your iTuned library.
I simply wanted to make sure, that you have tried to run iTunes after you reinstalled the system. This will write the preferences files again.
Is iTunes still working well after the system reinstall?
You could try to reinstall iTunes. And if that does not help, ask in the iTunes for Mac forum.
It is impossible to see my Itunes Music list in Iphoto/ Dia / Source
