Iphoto won't play videos in slide show

I've transferred a slideshow from an old macbook to a new macbook pro and for some reason the movie clips in the slideshow will no longer play.  Anyone else have this problem?  Anyone know of a solution?

I have the exact same problem.  I upgraded from an old Core 2 Duo Macbook Pro to a new intel i7 Macbook Pro.  I did a migration using Time Machine and until now, everything seems to have transferred flawlessly.  However, any iPhoto slideshows with video clips now hang at the video clip and lock up the machine.  The slide shows still run fine on the old macbook prog.
As far as the videos on the new mac, they will run fine using finder/quicktime.  They will run individually when selected in iPhoto.  However, they will cause the mac to freeze if I try and run a slide show or export the slideshow whenever it reaches the first video clip.
I'm guessing its some kind of directory issue but I would like to recover the slide shows and be able to run them on this new, more powerful machine rather than created exported videos on the old mac or attempt to recreate the slideshows from scratch on the new machine.
Any help would be appreciated and I'll try and use more than one syllable.

  • I have the apple univeral dock and AV cables and   can play videos and slide shows on my TV but not music How do I play the music

    I am trying to connect an IPOD classic to my TV to play music
    I have the dock and AV cables and can play videos and slide shows but not music

    Actually, i figured part of it out. When I'm playing itunes to my Apple Tv and Airport Express stations around the house, then turn on the mirroring, the itunes volume bar goes all the way to zero. I can bring it back up manually, and it will play on Apple TV, but it won't broadcast to multiple Airport Express speakers, the way it was doing before I turned on mirroring. It seems that mirroring turns off the airport express stations.

  • IPhoto won't play videos (with QT7), after renaming video files in Finder

    Hi folks,
    My iPhoto9 played video files with Quick time when double clicking the video files in iPhoto. Yesterday I renamed approx 50 video files in Finder (double clicked and renamed them). Now iPhoto won't play them when double clickling. The only way to play them is to a) drag/drop to vlc or b) double click them in Finder.
    How can I tell iPhoto to play the video files (interesting fact: the meta data still shows the video old file names)?
    Can anyone help me? Thanks!!!!
    Thanks

    I have not changed default seetings, so I assume I'm running Managed libary.
    The yes, that's the case. So, to do this you had to access the Package File and then rename the files. Wasn't the fact that the files are not directly accessible a hint?
    I tried overwriting iLife09 (without deleting the version that was on -> it didn't help!!)
    Nor would it. That might restore the applications (though without removing the receipts it won't be very effective) but the problem isn't the Applications. The problem is that you have corrupted the Library.
    What if I delete iLife and reinstall it. Will iPhoto then be able to play the videos (that I previously renamed with Finder)?
    No. Because, again, it will not undo what you did in the Library folder.
    As you have no back up, you no have exactly one option: Create a new Library and start over from scratch, importing the originals from the Library you trashed.

  • Videos in slide shows

    I have Photoshop Elements 6.  I have some photos and videos I took this summer and I am trying to make a "slide show" using both the pictures and the videos.  Can this be done, and if so, how?

    I want to thank you for your time and trouble in helping me figure this out.  Barb_O from the Adobe Forum suggested I try changing the length of the viewing time but that did not work.  smriti from the Adobe Forum suggested I select the photos and video in the organizer, then select the Create Tab, then select the slideshow from the list.  Then smriti said "In the slideshow window that opens you can output the slideshow as wmv or pdf."  However I don't get the option on how to "output" it.  I get the message "The slideshowsupports only Photos, Photo Projects Formats and Windows Media compatible video files.  Your selection includes items of other types, which will be skipped."
    This summer I took both of my grandchildren on vacation and of course I took pictures and videos of the trips.  Now I am trying to make a "slideshow/video" of our vacation, copy it on to a DVD and give it to them for Christmas.
    Someone where my husband works suggested downloading Apple Quick Time, which we tried without any luck.  I tried to send the video back to my card so I could try and down load it again and try to change it to a wmv, but that didn't work either as I couldn't get it on my card.
    I used a Canon PowerShot SX10IS camera.  I have Windows Vista, and Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 and Adobe Premiere Elements 4.  I have no idea what a codec is.  My videos end in .mov.
    Although I would prefer on long photo - video - photo slideshow in chronological order of our vacation I'm thinking my only two choices are either to run one then the other OR several little ones, start a small slide show, when it ends do a video, then another slide show and so on till they are all on the DVD.
    I am open to any other suggestions you may have that might help.
    Thanks

    Subject: Videos in slide shows
    1. The support of video files in Organizer and slideshow depends upon the codecs installed on the system. If the supported video codecs are installed the files are displayed and played properly in Organizer and slideshow Editor.
    2. If the default slideshow duration is shorter than the duration of the video, the video does not get truncated if the supported codecs are installed. I verified in E6 where the slide duration was set to 2 secs and the video duration was 14 sec and the video did not get trunated in the slideshow.
    Thanks,

  • My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.

    My .MP4 video file won't "play video full screen" in Muse after I publish my .OAM out of Edge Animate.  When I "Preview In Browser" through Edge it plays (I have created a shape and used the "play video full screen" snippet)  in full screen mode just fine.  When I "Preview Site In Browser" through Muse and click on the shape to PLAY VIDEO FULL SCREEN, it does nothing.  I am new to both programs and can't figure out why it will work out of the preview window in Edge and won't work when I publish to Muse.  Does anybody have an answer or a work-around for me?

  • Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

    Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

    Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4))    I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

  • HT1498 My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    My rented movie won't play, even though it shows "rented".  What gives?

    I have a similar issue.  My Dell Latitude is running Windows Pro 8.1 and iTunes 11.1.3.8.  It looks like it's playing, but it isn't.
    Things seemed to work fine before the 8.1 update.  I fear I will have to rollback to 8.0 because the sound no longer works on the computer unless you use the headphone jack. 
    Podcasts and music behave the same way, they appear to be playing, but the timer is not progressing for them either.
    This may be the combination of 8.1 and 11.1.3.8

  • IPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera.

    iPhoto won't import video from a Samsung HZ15W digital camera. What's the easiest way to get the video imported. Also, didn't prior versions of iPhoto accept this format?

    As you don't mention the version of iPhoto, I can only guess that you've been caught in the gap between Apple and Samsung. Somethign changed with iPhoto 11 and it's quite rigid about how timecode is handled in video and there's something not quite standard in the Samsung timecode. Google around a bit for more.
    And, as Larry say, try iMovie

    Is it a Flash issue perhaps?

  • Flash player won't play videos in safari after I've installed Lion does anyone have a solution?

    Hi,
    I've installed Lion after which Flash Player won't play videos with Safari. I keep being prompted to download and install the latest version of Flash Player whcih I've done several times. Can someone please help me fix this.
    I find Adobe's announcement that there are no issues with Flash Player and Lion a bit of a sick joke.
    Many thanks,
    Ian Pickering

    This sounds like the problems that Adobe have reported which are listed at
    http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/905/cpsid_90508.html#main_Flash_Player
    I only use flash for watching video clips on the BBC website so haven't been affected by these other issues. The text below is copied from the website at the above link. Hope this helps.
    The Flash Player Settings dialog box doesn't respond to mouse clicks. As a workaround, press the Tab key to move to the Close button and press the spacebar to close the dialog box. While not all settings are available, you can also use the Flash Player native control panel in System Preferences.
    Custom native mouse cursors don't animate properly on Mac OS 10.7.

  • Quicktime won't play videos online. ???

    I just downloaded quicktime, and then restarted my computer. But it still won't play videos online. I'm not sure if it is like this for all sites, but i have one site in particular that won't play videos. Any ideas? I have Windows 7 by the way.

    I come across this a lot, actually. I'm tired of having to switch to Firefox in order to view certain quicktimes. Here's a clip that won't play for me:
    http://www.chartoonz.com/index.html
    I can't figure it out because Safari will play quicktimes, even other h264 quicktimes, but then I'll run across an h264 on someone's site and I get the question mark.

    Here's some more info.
    I tried installing the latest iTunes to my housemate's PC, logging into iTMS with my account, authorizing his machine to play my content, restoring my iPod to the factory settings, downloading the videos and copying them to my iPod.
    It worked fine, and I can play my videos.
    I have done the exact SAME thing on my own home PC twice, after completely uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and the Apple Software Updater. But I still can't get any videos downloaded on my home PC to play on my iPods.
    Any thoughts?

  • My computer won't play videos..

    My computer won't play videos on news sites or videos I have successfully uploaded and others have viewed on Facebook. It's fairly new- do I need a new version of Safari? I have version 5.0.

    Do you have the Flash player installed? If not, go to Adobe and install the newest version.
