Since I updated my iPhoto software to 1.0 on my Mac Book Air (OX S Yosemite), my photos are no longer in my media browser in Pages. How do I transfer my iPhoto Library to the media browser so I can drag them into documents?
MacBook Air, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)
The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

Thank you. I am able to copy/paste into a template but I was unable to drag and drop from iPhoto?? Update does not seem to be an improvement since creating brochures used to be so easy.
Drag and drop works just fine from iPhoto into Pages '09, and Pages v5.5.3. On my Air without an external monitor, I find that I have to drag iPhoto partially off screen to the left, to make room for a decent drop target on Pages. With placeholder images in a template, I drag the image from iPhoto over Pages and hold — until Pages raises itself above iPhoto, and then I can steer the drag over a placeholder and release.
I didn't mention Pages v5.5.3 because its Media tool now uses the new Photos library content, which is a replication of the prior iPhoto library.
