iMovie 11 & iPhoto 11 talk to each other

[mac2thefuture]

I want to import a few photos from iPhoto in to iMovie. It's asking me to open up iPhoto 5 or above (which I have done) but it isn't showing my photos. How do the two communicate?

Have you run Software Update since then and ensure you installed the latest patches for iLife? There were a few issues with iPhoto '11 when it was released.

One person [Rodrigo PLP] found a solution in this thread at this post, see it that works too:

can't open iphoto '11 after upgrading to 10.6.5

1. I re-installed iPhoto from original Mac Applications Install Disk. Couldn't skip this step because my installed iPhoto wouldn't even be recognized by the upgrade made on step 2;
2. Downloaded and run latest available iPhoto version from Apple website, which was version 9.1;
3. iPhoto launched perfectly and immediately pointed to another available upgrade: version 9.1.1;
4. Made the new upgrade. iPhoto now works perfectly. Good news: my Library was intact.
