Q: I cannot see or insert my pictures in Ibooks Author. Photo Booth is the only option and do not show my images

I upgraded my operating system to OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 on a MacBook Pro mid 2012, 13 ", but is that now I can not insert pictures in my book because I do not see them in the picture section. They can be smooth videos and music, but not so with my images, which is essentially the most important. Only the photobooth application shown, and I need to see the pictures. I saw the same complaint from others. I think it should, Please correct this situation quickly, as the authors can not continue with our work. I bought this computer just because I need to publish my book. the previous version of the operating system permited I see the images.

MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10.3)

    You can drag and drop a .jpg or .png image directly into your book from your desktop or any folder containing images , and then move it, shrink it, etc to fit as you want.

     

    You don't need to load the image from an Apple app, but that does work too.

    Photos for Mac

    I have the same problem and raised it with Apple Support.  They tried troubleshooting but ended up reproducing the problem on their own machine. Mao they referred it to the U.S. Engineers who reported that it is "reproducible worldwide" = a bug!

    We will have to wait for an update (unspecified date) for Photo for Mac in the new OS to work with iBooks Author.  LeCreature's workaround will help you in the meantime.

    Is it too much to expect Apple's Beta testing checks that new apps work with their own existing programs?

    The problem is with the new Photos.app. Use iPhoto instead. It is still on your system. After a while, the Photos.app will stop launching automatically – at least that was my experience after switching back to iPhoto.

    Switching back to iPhoto: good tip until they fix Photos. Thank you for that. I have not been super happy with Photos so far. This is one more annoyance from it. Hopefully they get it cleaned up with El Capitan.
