I installed the latest versions of iMovie and iPhoto today, but the integration features with iTunes are not working. Whenever I am in iPhoto or iMovie and try to access my iTunes playlist, it says, "iTunes 3 not found." What should I do?
Wow, people actually use UFS? Carbon does have some weird issues with UFS; so, that could well be the cause.
I wonder why people pick UFS. The only "advantages" it offers are how it handles file names and file fragmentation. Though, there are about a million reasons *not* to use UFS. I wish Apple would make it clearer in Disk Utility that formatting in UFS is not meant for the average user.

I mean, I only did it when I bought a CD burner so I could do backups of a 20G hard drive...
Now that was a time I really needed a backup program... Blech... Whadda mess... <img src="graemlins/oyvey.gif" border="0" alt="[oyvey]" /> </strong><hr></blockquote>
Exactly! I cannot stress enough how often you should rebuild your system. I know people who go two, three years using the same system and it's an absolute mess!!! Please people, regardless of what OS you're using - rebuild your system from scratch (that means zeroing all data on the drive) at least once a year - sometimes twice depending on how much 3rd party crap you install. Sure it's a pain, but would you drive your car two years without an oil change!?
<strong>Exactly! I cannot stress enough how often you should rebuild your system...</strong><hr></blockquote>Uh, unless you are being sarcastic, what you proposose is a complete overkill. "Backup, reformat, reinstall" is not a mantra most people will chime to on a regular basis, especially Mac people. Unless you just feel a need to eek out the maximum performance from your hard drive access times or you feel you have documents that still aren't "safely" deleted from the free space, there is really no reason at all to go through this process regularly.
I found out what fixed it. I just needed to add a song to the library. Any song one do and I just needed one. Then the other programs would recognize it. I found this from one of the support forums on the Apple sight.

More like totally tearing it down, stripping, balancing, polishing and blueprinting every last component before putting it back together and running it in a few hours on the dyno, which is more like the kind of thing professional racing teams would do, but not Joe Schmoe on the commuter run...

It turns out the file system was giving some problems...
UFS was the culprit. The guy who found it switched over to HFS and voila! Instant themes.
Maybe iMovie and iPhoto have the same disability with UFS (Am I spelling that right?)
anyways, check Disk Utility... it should show you there.

Of course, he doesn't realize that modern forensics can completly scan his keyboard for, um... prints...
What are those odd glasses and weird lights they use on CSI to check for, ah... leftovers beside naked bodies, anyways?
