iTunes library not showing up in iMovie 10.0.5

I am using iMovie 10.0.5 for the first time since I upgraded and subsequently had my files transferred via Genius Bar. Making a making trying to add music from iTunes to it. My content library does not show any of my music from iTunes in there, and it says "the contents of your iTunes library will appear here". In previous iMovie versions I have had the library show up and have used it. Any idea how to get my library to show up so I can use it?

I do know that I need to update to 10.0.6, but I looked at the issues and this was not one, and I will update to 10.0.6 once I am done with current project.

iMac, OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)

Hi there, I got around this by opening itunes selecting the song I wanted to use and dragging it into the sound bar on imovie.. It renders it across and places it under your movie... Actually better than having itunes in that small box..

Thank you. Apple Support spent 2 hours installing it for me. But I like your "backdoor" option.

Hi, I am having the same problem as well and I have tried to click and drag but that isn't working either. I have also tried using another app to click and drag but it won't. I have an assignment due tomorrow and I am just trying to insert a voice over. What can I do?!

Make sure your iMovie is up to date. Believe it or not that prevented mine from working properly even though it wasn't a big update. Also, I was able to drag my song from iTunes straight into my project and it worked.

I figured it out! I had this same issue and I made sure everything was up to date like you all did... but it didn't fix it. My computer is brand new and I had not yet authorized this computer with my iTunes. Open up iTunes and go to the Account tab at the top and hit " authorize this computer" and shortly after they will start showing up in iMovie.

Mine isn't either but I just went in to import media and found the folder that has your iTunes library and imported that. It still worked as audio
