Can't play music with a slideshow

I've only had a problem adding music since I've upgraded to Maverick on my desktop. Did I miss something ? I go to the music tab for the slideshow, select the track I want from I Tunes libruary as before, select play. The slideshow starts with no music. I check the volume level is set high, but nothing. I've tried closing Iphoto then reopening but no change. Any idea's ?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Can you play music with the laptop closed?

Is there a way play music with the Laptop closed? I have a MacBook Pro w/Retina display.

You'll either need to have a keyboard and monitor attached so you can wake the computer with the screen closed or use one of the third-party utilities that keeps the MBP from sleeping when you close the lid such as InsomniaX.
Regards.

Can't play music in photo slideshow??

I have got a brand new N78 with the latest firmware. The problem is that i am unable to play any music in the photo slideshow. There is no problem with the music file as I can easily play them on the music player but i don't know why the music doesn't plays in the slideshow....Please help.....

Is the audio track one you purchased from iTunes and is DRM protected? If so then the protection prevents the audio from getting included in the QT movie file.
If you have Quicktime Pro 7 and Quicktime Player 7 you can add the movie to the audio track to get what you want.

Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
1. We can play shared music.
2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
Anyone.... ?
I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

Heya Joseph,
Yes you can play shared music in front row.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
Heya Justin,
Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
~/library/caches
~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
- Open iPhoto - then quit
- Open iTunes - then quit
- Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
- Restart your computer again
- Test and see how its working
Hope that helps!

Can't play music with iPhone 4

iTunes 10.5, iMac 10.7.2, iPhone 4 software 5.0
After the updates, I can't listen music via iPhone. After clicking the play button, no sound comes out and progress bar for music does not move, but the play button stays 'on". I can listen music through my iPhone from iTune store, I can listen audio books. I thought that it could be due to some error during sync, but after re sync ing whole music library, nothing has changed. I also have iPad, but that works well with new update.
Anybody has any suggestions?

I'm having the same problem with the 3GS. Podcasts work fine. Books, fine.
Music I downloaded from itunes, I haven't checked it all, but a spot check looks like that music works.
Music imported from CD? Doesn't seem to work. Similar experience as above of it appearing to play, but the status bar doesn't move and there's no sound.
Or, it says it's playing a song, but it's really playing another song that I downloaded from itunes at some point by a totally different artist...
move info to icloud? HA. Not a chance.
Anyone have suggestions as to how to fix the music problem?

Can't put music with a slideshow...

Alright . . . Using iPhoto 08 version 7.1.4. I am attempting to make a new slideshow, but when I attempt to open the 'Music' option, nothing happens. Old slideshows that I have made will play with the assigned music, and the new one will use that annoying default tune. But alas, I cannot open the music option for any of my slideshows. Help!
(I recently updated iPhoto - aside from that I don't know what might be causing the problem. I have tried restarting my computer, but come up against the same problem.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
When you click on the music pane do you see the iPhoto Library icon? If you only see the folder with the default audio look for a small dimple in the horizontal frame and drag downward.
See lori's screenshot links in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446667&tstart=0.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can't play music in iPhoto slideshow in Quicktime

Hi,
I created a slideshow in iPhoto and added a song as a sound track. I exported it according to the instructions in the Help, but when I play it in QuickTime, there is no music. What am I doing wrong? The Quicktime Help says I should be able to choose whether or not to include the background music, but I'm not seeing that option anywhere.
Thanks for any help!

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver. I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. thanks

How can I play music on my macbook pro (OSX Lion) through a Pioneer receiver? I've connected them with a mini display port to HDMI cable with audio support bought at the Apple Store, but there's no sound coming through. There are 4 HDMI-in ports on the receiver - BD, DVD, DVR/BDR and audio. In my system preferences for sound, the receiver doesn't show up as an output option. Can anyone please advise. (ps, this is my first time posting a question, so I hope I can find your answers!) thanks, JP downunder

For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver. Use something like this:

I just installed the latest Apple TV software update today. I can still play music from my iPhone 4 to th eATV but purchased movies don't seem to start playing now - or else the buffering time is huge compared with the previous software version. Any fix

I installed the latest software update on our Apple TV - this allows us to access VIMEO. However, although we can still play music from an iPhone 4 we can no longer play purchased tv shows - unless the buffering process has been extended to be glacially slow! It just shows it is loading but under the previous software release a show would start in a minute or two, nothing is happening afer 4 or 5 minutes with this one.

Thank you BDAua. This is what I typed and the reply from Terminal
java -version
java version "1.6.0_45"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_45-b06-451-11M4406)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 20.45-b01-451, mixed mode)
BTW - this application does NOT show up in the Applications folder and I consider that a bit odd.
I also tried typing Java for my computer to search for and this is what I got under
Overview:

I hope something is helpful within all of this info!

Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort

Can I use Rhaposody to play music with AirPort?

To stream non-iTunes audio sources from your PC to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) you will need a third-party application, like Rogue Amoeba's Airfoil for Windows.

With new upgrade, can I play music to Ford sync with bluetooth?

The new upgrade 3.0 is fantastic. Can I play music on the Ford Sync system or do I need the 3G?
Thanks for your advice.
Best,
Tom

the original iphone, even with the 3.0 OS does not support the A2DP bluetooth profile... therefor you can not stream audio to the sync. you can however USB it to the sync and copy music over (I think) I don't have a sync, but wish I did...

Play can't play music purchased with another email address

I can't play music that was purchased with old email address on an older mac, how does that work?

If the tracks are DRM-restricted you'll need to authorize the computer for the Apple ID that was used to purchase the songs. Pull down Store > Authorize This Computer and type in the credentials for the Apple ID.

Is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

is there a fix for battery drain on ipad 2 IOS 5.0.1? drain from 100% to 70% in less than 20min had it on playing music with display off

About all that can be suggested is to use the feedback form and talk to Apple. They have communicated with some users, trying to get more info to find out just what the battery drain is so they can fix it. Unfortunately with the myriad of operating systems, apps and individual tweaks, there could be several combinations of settings that are draining the battery.
My personal suspicion is that it has something to do with iCloud and the wifi syncing. (My ipad, before I changed the setting, was reaching out to find a sync on a regular basis. And it may still be doing so, however I set my iTunes to not automatically open to keep my device from trying to sync several times in an evening...not to mention the constant aggravation of iTunes opening regularly)
That said, I could be wrong and it could be an app that users have in common, or several apps.
