    Hey dcn66,

    I understand that you are not seeing your entire photos in the Media Browser on your Mac. Let's see if we can get that working. 

    Now depending on the settings, you might be conserving space on your Mac in the Photos library. Doing that will limit the amount of photos that show up. Take a look at the article below to go over how to over come this by creating an album in Photos so that the Media Browser shows the important photos. 

    If Media Browser doesn‘t show your entire Photos library

    Let me know if this helps.

    Take it easy

    I have the same problem and I have all my Photos library originals stored on my mac.

    I did check the media browser in Pages and there it works OK so it seems to be a problem with the media browser in iBooks Author

    It depends on which app you're trying to use the media browser in.  Since the introduction of El Capitan and Photos 3rd party apps must be updated by their developers in order to access the Photos library with their media browsers. 

     

    Which apps and versions in particular are you referring to?

    I'm working on iBooks author, top actual system. reinstalled application, it doesn't help. I see other have same problems with iBook Author ! since 6 Month!!! I read a lot about decreasing Software support of apple for Mac Apps, it seems it is real! I'm an apple user who was working since MacPlus on Mac. I know IBA is an free application but many people around me using that tooling they are very much frustrated!

    Please explain how this involves Photos for Mac where you posted and exactly what you technical question for the volunteer users here is - it is not at all clear from your post

    We have to wait for a software update to iBook Author. It is too old to be showing the Photos Library in the Media Browser.  This applies to many applications, that are still using the older media frameworks. Older code can show the Aperture library and the iPhoto Library in the built in Photo browsers, but not the Photos Library.

    Continue to use iPhoto or Aperture with older software.  iPhoto 9.6.1 is working very well with El Capitan.
