Message says my slideshow music selection can't be found or opened?

I created a Slideshow complete with music from my iTunes library and played it a number of times yesterday. Last night when I tried to run the slideshow for an event, I kept getting the message my music selection can't be found or can't be opened. The folder and all selected songs are still there and none are highlighted, but iPhoto's slideshow just won't recognize it for some reason. Some of the songs on the playlist are stored on an external harddrive as well as my main drive. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Jim:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First make sure you've selected only the Playlist icon and nothing else.
If still unavailable see if you can create a new temporary slideshow and access that playlist or track. If it works there then it's something with that particular slideshow.
Can you play those songs in iTunes?

  • "Music selected can't be found or can't be opened" ??

    This is not quite like other posts I have seen on iTunes-iPhoto integration. I am using iPhoto 5.0.1 and iTunes 4.9.
    I have my iPhoto and iTunes libraries on an external harddrive. Both work just fine within each application. However, when I select music from my iTunes library to be played during a slideshow, a) it can not be played for previewing purposes (in the selection mode), and b) if I do select a song or songs, when the slideshow is started I get the following error "Music selected can't be found or can't be opened".
    Let me add one last bit of detail... I had this external harddrive situation before and things worked fine, but the harddrive decided to hiccup some time ago and I didn't have a backup ;-( Luckily DiskWarrior bailed me out for the most part and now I have a backup drive. That being said, I had to reconstruct my iTunes and iPhoto libraries. The former was in pretty good shape though there are a number of tunes that are still missing (and show the little warning icon in iTunes if they are). The tunes I am picking for the slide show are not among these. As for the iPhoto library, I created a new one and added all my old photos to the new library. I don't know if this situation is the cause of this or not. Any ideas?
    One last thing: there is one song I can play in iPhoto, it is part of an album that is intact though none of the other songs on that album can be played or used in the slideshow. This song happens to be one that I'd tried a handful of times to test things out. All of a sudden, iPhoto works only with this one song.

    Alberto,
    I have Quicktime Pro also and paid for the upgrade.
    You can try it without upgrading Quicktime, but I think the newer version of iPhoto is going to want the latest Quicktime. I am pretty sure iTunes is going to want it too. Compressing with the new H.264 codec is great. I am sure you will like the new features of QTPro.

  • Get message saying one or more files can not be found when using plug in Perfect effects 8.5 in Lightroom 5

    Cant open Perfect Effects in lightroom 5

    Update: I have just installed version 8.1.1. and exported my library and the issue seems to be fixed. I don't believe that export libary had any impact so it mostlikely is version 8.1.1. who has fixed the isssue. I will keep an eye on it and get you posted on how it goes.
    Thanks Cees

    Let's try this first. Hold down the Shift key while you try to launch iTunes. You should eventually see the following dialog:
    Click "Choose library". Browse to inside the following location (depending on what operating system you're running):
    Operating System
    Default location of iTunes library
    Microsoft Windows XP
    \Documents and Settings\[your username]\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows Vista
    \Users\[your username]\Music\iTunes\
    Microsoft Windows 7
    \Users\[your username]\My Music\iTunes\
    ... and open the iTunes library you find in there.

    The new iTunes has a somewhat different look from the previous version.  You can get the old look back if you prefer it by doing View > Show Sidebar in iTunes.  Or you can adapt to the new look.

    While trying to update projects and events from a previous version of iMovie to iMovie '11, someone forced iMovie to quit.  Now when I start iMovie '11 and try to update, a message says no projects or events can be found?  I know there are previous projects and events, and they definitely have not been updated because they do not show up in my iMovie'11 library, events, or projects.  Any suggestions?

    I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

  • After installiing ios6 to ipad i no longer have my photos or apps and cannot connect to iTunes on my computer. Get message saying pairing record is missing.Can anyone help please?

    After installing ios6 to ipad2 I no longer it went back to factory settings.  I cannot sync iTunes on my computer with the iPad but get a message "pairing record is missing".  Can anyone help me.

    I need to uninstall my old version on itunes and install a new version, i cant uninstall from Programs and Features, a message keeps coming up saying 'The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable.'
    Unfortunately, this sort of trouble has gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly now?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • I keep getting an error message that says that Google's catego can't be found & to retry, but retrying doesn't work and I have to restart Firefox several times.

    When I try to access Google, I always get a message that says this category can't be found and to report this broken site to Google or retry. Retrying never works and I usually have to exit Firefox and make several attempts before I get Google. Firefox can find my server but Google never on the first, second, or third try. Google says it is a problem with Firefox. This never happened until I upgraded to Windows 7!

    Wow, I feel really stupid. I spent a couple of days trying to troubleshoot this problem.
    1. Open TM prefs.

    3. Select "None" and apply changes.
    4. Click "Select Disk..." Select your disk and apply changes.

  • When I click on a yahoo news story, about 30 seconds into reading it, the page changes to one that says the page I requested can't be found, and it has a list of search results.

    I just upgraded to firefox 4 this morning. My homepage is yahoo.com. Sometimes when I click a news story, about 30 seconds into reading it, the page changes to a search result page with the heading that the page I requested can't be found. If I click the back button, it goes back to the page I was on. It doesn't happen on every one, and I haven't seen a pattern to which sites it happens on. It also happened when I was trying to make a payment on ebay.

    To revert to Google as your preferred search engine, please do the following.<br><br>
    * In the location bar, type '''about:config''' and hit Enter.<br><br>
    * In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''<br><br>
    * Double click it and remove whatever's in there (probably Yahoo) and replace it with http://www.google.com/search?q=<br>
    The URL to add in "keyword.URL" becomes a link in this post, so right click it and choose "Copy Link Location" to copy it to the Windows clipboard. Then hit CTRL+V to paste it. Saves you having to type the whole thing.
    '''To reset your home page, do the following'''.<br><br>
    * Go to the site you want to set as your homepage.<br><br>
    * Click the orange Firefox button and go to '''Options '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.<br><br>
    * Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.<br><br>
    * Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.<br>
