Keynote 2 no longer plays slide shows

Since upgrading to 10.4.4 on my G4 QS Keynote 2.0.2 will no longer play any slide shows complaining that the monitor is set at too high res (2 monitor setup) changing screen res / bit depth makes no difference. It all used to work fine the last time I used it.
It also appears that the installed graphics card Nvidia GeForce2 MX no longer seems to support Quartz extreme.
Any thoughts?

Found the problem!
the update had caused problems which can be cleared down by restarting in OpenFirmware Command-Option-O-F at restart then issue the following with return at each line:
reset-nvram
set-defaults
reset-all
the machine then restarts and all is joy again!

Making long background slide show

I have a need for a long background "show". Specifically, 7 CD's worth of mood music (think yoga) with nature shots. Prefer burning to play in DVD player, but realize it maybe too much music for a DVD, so a slide show running with iTunes playlist in background is possible but using laptop is not optimal.
The challenge is that I only need a few photos (they will repeat) but lots of songs. Is there a way to create a slide show (or movie) several hours long that is playable on DVD player?
SLYmac

Thanks so far. I think I am almost there.
ok so I selected a bunch of photos in iPhoto, clicked "slideshow" and then "send to DVD".
iDVD opened up and now what? it opened up to a generic project "My Great DVD" which i renamed, but not being a veteran of iLife, I am not sure what is next. Do I add anything? This is a simple background slideshow to put into a DVD player and let it go and go until removed. I did not care for a polished menu structure. In fact I was hoping for a "stick it in the player and auto start" product.

ITunes no longer plays TV Shows one after another (Continual Playback)

iTunes is no longer playing TV episodes back to back for me, even in a list. It has actually stopped moving to the next show when I hit the forward to next item button (the third arrow pointing right with the line adjacent to it), so I suspect a setting somewhere. Any help would be useful. Have tried a smart playlist, but same problems, it will not advance to the next show automatically.
The only thing I've done differently lately is to play some episodes on my Apple TV. However, as I try to watch the shows on my laptop, the Apple TV is sleeping, so I do not believe that that is part of the issue. I have OS X 10.8.4 and am using iTunes 11.0.4 (4) 64-bit on my Macbook Pro 17' Mid 2009.
Thank you ahead of time for any help.

As I stated in my last post, reinstalling the program made no change to its lack of functioning.
Is there anyone who will actually will read what I wrote, and actually try to help me fix this, who can help? Thank you!
And if ed2345 reads this:
It is a shame people can't lose points for responses given here. ed2345, the response you gave clearly showed you did not read or pay attention to the relevant information given in my first post. The link you supplied only led to information I had already discussed and covered in that original post.
And then you said, "If those suggestions don't help, and you get tired of messing with it, put your WMP Rip setting on MP3, rip the CD, and add the resulting MP3s to your iTunes library." Trying to fix a program that previously worked, and clearly has BECOME dysfunctional, in favor of doing something every few days for the duration of this new computer's lifetime is supposed to be preferable to finding a one-time fix? That is not helpful. Nor is that reasonable to ask for someone to do that with a program that is supposed to be useful, and worked fine up until a week ago.
Adding more frustration to this problem by giving less than useless 'help' makes trying to figure this out even more aggravating.

Can you automate an iPad keynote presentation like a slide show?

I have a very basic keynote presentation that I've created on my iPad 2. No fancy transitions, etc. Essentially slides with pictures and information. I need to have it run like a slide show and repeat itself over and over for a static display. Can someone help me accomplish this?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, you will do it by setting the transition options for the slides.
See how to do it here http://http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3701

Play slide show from Photo Browser

How can I play my slide show in Full Screen view from Photo Browser?
Upon double click of the created slide show , located at first position in my Photo Browser, the Slide Show Editor opens which permits only play in Full Screen in Preview which produces low resolution images.

Please identify which version of PS Elements you have - 3 or 4. My guess is that you have v4 but it may make a difference in this conversation.
Based on the fact that I think that you want to view your photos at the maximim resolution of your monitor, have you tried the Full Screen view of the Photo Browser?
A slide show creation (made by the slide show Editor) is not designed to be played from the Photo Browser.
If you Output in the slide show editor as a WMV file, that is played in Windows Movie Maker or other programs. However, the WMV values defaulted in PSE do not give you full monitor resolution in most cases - so if you stretch to full screen it will probably not look good.
If you output the slide show creation as a PDF file, then you should use the Adobe Reader to play back that PDF file. The Preview for the slide show is just a Preview, which has quality level choices if you are in v4, but I don't think it is intended as a way to display the finished slide show.

Continuously playing slide show on DVD

I've created a slide show and would like it to play in a continous loop from a DVD, without an opening "theme" screen. Thoughts?

(From fellow poster Mishmumken: )
How to create a DVD in iDVD without menu (there are several options):
1. Easy: Drop your iMovie in the autoplay box in iDVD's Map View, then set your autoplay item (your movie) to loop continously. Disadvantage: The DVD plays until you hit stop on the remote
2. Still easy: If you don't want your (autoplay) movie to loop, you can create a black theme by replacing the background of a static theme with a black background and no content in the dropzone (text needs to be black as well). Disadvantage: The menu is still there and will play after the movie. You don't see it, but your disc keeps spinning in the player.
3. Still quite easy but takes more time: Export the iMovie to DV tape, and then re-import using One-Step DVD.
Disadvantage: One-Step DVD creation has been known to be not 100% reliable.
4. (My preferred method) Easy enough but needs 3rd party software: Roxio Toast lets you burn your iMovie to DVD without menu - just drag the iMovie project to the Toast Window and click burn. Disadvantage: you'll need to spend some extra $$ for the software. In Toast, you just drop the iMovie project on the Window and click Burn.
5. The "hard way": Postproduction with myDVDedit (freeware)
Tools necessary: myDVDedit ( http://www.mydvdedit.com )
• create a disc image of your iDVD project, then double-click to mount it.
• Extract the VIDEO_TS and AUDIO_TS folders to a location of your choice. select the VIDEO_TS folder and hit Cmd + I to open the Inspector window
• Set permissions to "read & write" and include all enclosed items; Ignore the warning.
• Open the VIDEO_TS folder with myDVDedit. You'll find all items enclosed in your DVD in the left hand panel.
• Select the menu (usually named VTS Menu) and delete it
• Choose from the menu File > Test with DVD Player to see if your DVD behaves as planned.If it works save and close myDVDedit.
• Before burning the folders to Video DVD, set permissions back to "read only", then create a disc image burnable with Disc Utility from a VIDEO_TS folder using Laine D. Lee's DVD Imager:
http://lonestar.utsa.edu/llee/applescript/dvdimager.html
Our resident expert, Old Toad, also recommends this: there is a 3rd export/share option that give better results. That's to use the Share ➙ Media Browser menu option. Then in iDVD go to the Media Browser and drag the movie into iDVD where you want it.
Hope this helps!

New cd players won't play slide show made on Elements 9?

I can make a slide show on Elements 9 and burn it to cd-r, however, none of the newer players will read it or play it. I can play it on an older machine, but I need to get a smaller, new cd player. Can you help?

The best advice I can give you is don't throw good money at this. VCD is a dying format and it's increasingly hard to find anything that bothers to support it. Better to output as WMV and use something like windows movie maker or whatever software came with your dvd burner to make a real dvd. The quality is vastly superior, too.

Why is the new keynote not recording the slide show ?

I have been using Keynote for years on my mac book I have just brought a new mac book pro retina running mavericks and the program doesnt do half as much as the original 09..... what is going on..... am imissing something here?
I am trying to record the presentation to save it out as a quicktime file and i'm getting an error message and it just won't record OSStatus error -67440.
Anyone any Ideas???

It could be your iPod phot cache is causing the issue
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1314
If you're syncing from an iPhoto or Aperture album, use these steps to find the iPod Photo Cache folder in the default iPhoto Library or Aperture Library location:
From the Finder, choose Home from the Go menu.
Once there, open the Pictures folder and locate the iPhoto Library file. (For Aperture, this is called Aperture Library.) If you have moved your iPhoto Library or Aperture Library to a different location, go to that location in Finder first.
Control-click the iPhoto Library or Aperture Library file and choose Show Package Contents from the shortcut menu.
In the next window, locate the iPod Photo Cache folder and drag it to the Trash. Important: Do not remove or modify any other file within the library package. Removing or modifying other files may cause data loss.
Close the Finder window.

FrontRow bug playing slide shows with music on remote share

I found a new bug with FrontRow playing slideshows using music stored on a shared drive. I tried with AFP & NFS shares, but I suspect the same will apply to SMB shares. Here are the steps to repro the problem:
1) Define a new iTunes playlist
2) Add songs to the playlist from a shared drive
3) Define a new album and add photos to it.
4) Hit play -> Music and choose the iTunes playlist you just defined. Click on "Save Settings"
5) Go to FrontRow, locate your album and play it. After a few seconds, in which FR appears to time out, it will play the album with music from the standard library, instead of your iTunes library.
WORKAROUND: Play the Album from iPhoto, only a couple of seconds, enough for iPhoto to pick the right music from your iTunes playlist. Next time you go to FR and play the album it will chose the correct music.

I don't know what MB Pro you have... 2008 early/late, 2009, mid 2010, etc. ???
Also, what Audio inputs are available for your HDTV?
Not knowing these things for sure, here are your options:
1. If the HDTV has "Optical Audio" input then you can use this cable to get audio (regardless of what model MBP you have) This kind of audio input is often referred to as Toslink.
I resolved the problem on my machine unexpectedly
2. If the HDTV only has RCA stereo inputs then you need this cable (again regardless of MBP model)
http://www.amazon.com/RiteAV-3-5mm-Stereo-Male-Cable/dp/B000V0G2C4/ref=sr12?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292163583&sr=1-2
If you do have Toslink available on the TV, that is the better choice. Also a perk with Toslink is it even provides 5.1 surround sound capability which is available from your MBP.
As for your Macbook Pro, only the current 2010 models provide audio and video via the mini display port. So, if you your MBP is new, you could use this adapter, mini display to HDMI, then run a standard HDMI cable to your TV.
http://www.amazon.com/DisplayPort-Female-Adapter-Macbook-Laptop/dp/B002HU629E/re f=sr11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1292163818&sr=1-1
Earlier MBP that have Minidisplay port only provide video out so you'd still need #1 or #2 above to deliver audio.
If your MBP has DVI port for video, that as well only provides a video signal so #1 or #2 above would apply.
This should cover all of the possibilities.

Movie on a slide in Keynote doesn't play the full length

How do I get a embedded quicktime movie to play on a slide to it's full length. (4 min) when the other slide durations are shorter? The movie will only play as long as the delay duration that is set up for the self-playing slide show. Any way around this?

The trick I've always used is to set the slide's
transition to start 'Automatically' instead of 'On
Click', then entered a delay. That seems to nicely
override the global delay just for that slide.
Shane
Shane:
That works well if you play the slideshow on the computer only. I exported the slideshow as a quicktime movie to burn it to a DVD. It plays the full length of the embedded movie (4 min.), but then delays (4 min.) until it transitions to the next slide. Guess I can't have my cake and eat it too?

PSE8-Slide Shows to Play on TV/DVD Player

I watched the tutorial and read the online help.
Two things are mentioned.
I can create a slide show to present on a TV set
When creating the slide show and am ready to create a DVD, Premiere Elements Will Load.
What none of the help says is whether a cable from the PC to the TV AND Premiere Elements are required to play a slide show on a TV set.
Does PSE8 make slide shows for TV or does Premiere, only, make slide shows for TV?
Do I need a cable, or can I play the burned DVD in the TV's DVD Player, as in Blockbuster movies?
A cable is not practical for me.
Thanks.

Thanks Barbara.
I don't have PRE; have only had PSE over the years. Never had a need for video editing, although my wife has the 'original' Minolta Z1 which does video clips.
I am -very- interested in being able to play slide shows on a TV's VCR player as a replacement of showing slides on a projector (which I still have).
While I have you, will PRE's presets/templates work well with a non lcd, non plasma, non flatscreen, non hd, tv. Do I have to make a particular resolution and aspect ratio set of files for non hdtv?
Even when I play a show directly from my camera (Nikon D300) the pictures look terrible, not even worth watching.
And, how would I cope with then being able to show the pictures on other people's flat, lcd, plasma, or hdtv's? Do I have to make separate special burns at full resolution and a different aspect ratio?
Will Adobe PRE tell me how to do these things? I will be upgrading to PSE8 and have to make a decision whether Premiere Elements 8 would be a better upgrade.
Thanks.

What is the best way to save and copy high resolution slide show?

Creating and saving/burning slide shows in iMovie or iDVD does not appear to give the same high resolution as playing slide shows directly from iPhoto. Resolution is also lost when exporting the slide show to iTunes. Is there a recommended technique to preserve resolution when saving a slide show?

Click the "Export" icon on the bottom of the application window.
Click the "Custom Export..." button on the bottom left hand side of the new menu that appears at the top of the application window.
At the bottom of the next window click the "Options..." button.
Under the "Video" setting, click the "Size..." button.
Next to "Dimensions:" click the "Compressor native" drop down menu.
In there you have "1920 x 1080 HD".
There are a bunch of other options, so explore and find what works best for you.

Accessing "full screen" display using flash_Snapfish slide show

cannot access "full screen" when playing slide show through Snapfish,(photos display 1/3 of screen), or find tool on Flash or Snapfish to correct (Windows 8-latest Flash & Explorer updates)thx !

Note that the proposed feature would be a great solution for the request posted by Olaf Ulrich on Dec 13, quoted below:
Please add a magnifier!
I use Adobe Bridge 1.0 for sorting, selecting, and keywording digital photos. It's nice to be able to change the user interface in several ways to accommodate to the task at hand ... but I am desperately missing a way to magnify an image quickly (usually to check a photo's sharpness). Currently I have to jump to Photoshop which is time-consuming, memory-consuming, and dramatically oversized for just taking a quick look-see at the photo's focus.

Premiere Elements 7 crashes on creating slide show

Hi Gurus,
I use Premiere Elements 7 for about 2 years and it works fine when I need to create a film from set of video fragments.
But I also need to create slide shows from pictires.
For some reason PRE7 crashs on building such slide show (at least, this is valid for a long enough slide show). It happens not always on the same slide, but approximately at the same percentage of the slide show to be built.
I run PRE7 on Windows XP, SP3 32-bit
What may be a reason of this crash? Conflict with some other software, installed on my computer? Lacking resources (I have 4 GBytes of memory, but Win 32-bit uses only 3.25 GBytes)? Known bug?
I tried to install the trial version of PRE9, but the result was even worse: it crashed even more quickly than PRE7. i.e. less slides were processed before the crash.
Any suggestion that can help to solve this issue will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Ilia

If you can handle smaller numbers of large images, but not larger numbers, it is likely a resource issue. It could be RAM, Virtual Memory, or similar.
This ARTICLE might be helpful for setting up your computer for an editing session, and freeing as many resources, as is possible. This ARTICLE discusses Virtual Memory.
PrE 9 will have about the same resource requirements, or might use a bit more, so a large number of large still images will remain a problem.
Good luck,
Hunt
