Photo slideshows from multiple albums

I am considering buy Apple TV just for use with photos, everything else is a bonus.
I know that in iPhoto you can select multiple albums and run them as a slideshow. Can you do the same with Apple TV or do you have to create one big slideshow in iPhoto ahead of time?

TV makes it's own slideshows from any of the albums you have synced from your iphoto library. So in short, you will need to make an album in iphoto with exactly what you want in your slideshow.
Not quite what you are after but on the up side, the slideshow in TV works really well, it is much simpler than creating a slideshow in iphoto, the only minor complaint I have about slideshows on TV is that the musc doesn't fade out as the slideshow finishes it just stops.

Photos Slideshow from iCloud Album Displays comments

When projecting a slideshow from a shared iCloud album standard iCloud Photo Sharing comments box (you know the like box) appear on bottom left over the projected photos. I can't find anyway to turn this off. There are no settings for this. Must be a bug?

When Apple support contacted, they acknowledged there was an issue with not all photos syncing
I haven't seen any issues posted in this forum before about missing pictures in albums, which hasn't been down to the file format being incompatible with tv, take a look at the photos which are missing are they all either JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF or PNG, if not they are not compatible.
Is any one else having problems?
I'm not experiencing this problem at all.
Also when trying to sync a iphoto slideshow, only the music plays on ATV, no images
Now that is strange, for now I'm going to assume that this might be that some of the photos in these slideshows are the photos that won't show up as per above. You are probably better solving the first issue before giving this one anymore thought.

Making a photo book from multiple albums

Hello.
I recently returned from week long trip and have created photo albums for each individual day (9 albums)
I now want to bring them all into 1 photo book but cannot seem to figure out how to do it. Do I have to just copy everything into one huge album?
Any assistance is greatly appreciated.
Matt

In case you might want to order a second copy of the book at a later date the following tutorial describes a way to archive the library containing just the photos in the book for easy retrieval: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7/8 Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date. With this method you don't need to worry about losing the book due to removing photos from the library, deleting the book in the library, etc. I do it for every book I create and order.

Can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

can you make a continuous slideshow from multiple folders in iphoto?

Greetings,
Yes you can but you have to add the images from the various events or albums to a single slideshow.
Create your slideshow, then drag all the images you want in that slideshow to the slideshow on the left hand side.

When you go to play the slideshow you can click on settings and make sure the "repeat" option is checked.

Maintaining Photo Sequence from An Album To A Memory Stick (Flash Drive)

In iPhoto '11, Mac OS x 10.6.7, I want to copy the precise photo sequence I have in an album to a memory stick, for input into a photo frame (so the photos will play in proper sequence in the photo frame slideshow mode). Problem is the photos exported from the album to the stick lose the sequence I arranged in the album. Within the album I did a batch change and separated the photos by 1 minute, which I thought would "cement" the sequence of the photos from the album to the stick. Wrong. The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album. FYI, all these photos were originally hard photos and were scanned into iPhoto library and later put into an album - thus the sequence within the album was manually arranged because the original input scanning was random. So, now that I have nicely sequenced photos within an album, how do I export and maintain the sequence from an album onto a stick?
Thanks,
H

The photos exported to the stick kept their original date / time imported (also called modified) and thus did not keep the sequence I established in the album.
When you modify the date of the Photos in iPhoto you change the Exif metadata of the shot. This is standard photo metadata and how every photo app tracks the date and time of the photograph.
When you export to the Finder (as you do when you send them to the memory stick) it uses File metatada to sort. This is not the same as Exif and the Finder doesn't work with Exif.
So this trick won't work for you. You need to use something that the Finder understands and will sort on
Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Set your photos in the order you want
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
Regards

Cover flow albums show songs from multiple albums

I love my iPod classic. the only issue I'm having is that when reviewing some albums via the coverflow feature, about 5 albums shows songs from multiple albums. they play correctly. It appears just the listing is messed up. I've tried deleting, adding the albums back to the library and resyncing, but it's still happening. Anybody seen this?

Try *One cover, too many tracks* below:
*HowTo: Grouping Tracks Into Albums*
Excuse the long post, but hopefully covering all the bases (that I can think of) will help you fix the other issues you are likely to run into as you try to organise your iTunes library.
*Use an album friendly view*
iTunes will let you sort music on many columns, some of which are unlikely to group albums together or put the tracks in their normal order. The most useful order for editing the library is probably *Album by Artist*. If you're not already there, select the list view and click on the column heading for Artist until it reads Album by Artist.
*One cover, too many tracks*
The iPod (and iTunes to a lesser extent) conflates two or more albums with the same title, most obviously with *Greatest Hits*. On the iPod this can result in one album acting as a combination of two or more. Selecting any cover gives all the tracks of all albums with the same title. The workaround for this "Greatest Hits" bug is to give each album a unique title - I tend to go for *Album - Album Artist* as this reads clearly in the iTunes browser. Alternatively you could use the wording as it appears on the cover or append different numbers of spaces for each different album. Somewhat oddly, setting different values for Sort Album doesn't work.
*Missing Artist or Album not with others by same artist*
iTunes relies on the Gracenote CDDB database when identifying CD's. This often marks collections or anthologies of an artist's work as a compilation. In iTunes, however, the compilation flag has the logical function of grouping together tracks with the same album name, but different artists on each track, e.g. "Now That's What I Call Metal 666!". These compilations are then all grouped together at the end of cover flow. Most of us however, would expect "Greatest Hits" albums to be listed with the other albums by the same album artist. For albums which are essentially by a single album artist or group it is best to set the appropriate value for the album artist and clear the compilation flag.
*One album, too many covers*
For true compilations, where each track is by a different artist, the answer is to set the compilation flag to true and enable the iTunes preference to *Group compilations when browsing*. If the album is not a compilation however, any tracks which list guest artists may be treated as separate items. Filling in the Album Artist field is enough to link things in iTunes. Sadly, however, the iPod ignores the Album Artist field when grouping albums so this is only a partial solution. You can simply mark the entire album as a compilation which seems to be the way iTMS handles it, however that's not an ideal fix. Short of waiting for Apple to address this issue (and as far as I can tell it goes back to the 1st gen. of iPods) we need a workaround. What I do is to put any additional artist info. in square brackets after the song name. E.g. *Track \[Feat. Guest\]* and then set *Artist=Album Artist* for each track. For anthologies where the Album Artist is credited as part of another group, e.g. for Cream tracks on an Eric Clapton anthology, I use *Track \[As Group\]*. For a track where the main Album Artist doesn't receive a credit, e.g. the first track of the Slim Shady LP credited to Jeff Bass, I just set the track name to *Track \[Guest\]* while still setting the artist to the album artist. N.b. I use square brackets to indicate that this is information about the track as distinct from the song title and also use this style for Mix/Live/Bonus info.
*One album, still too many covers*
iTunes may split albums into two or more sections if some tracks from the album have different values for Artist, Album Artist, Album, No. of Discs or Part of a Compilation. Tiny differences such as trailing spaces, accented characters or variants of symbols can sometimes be quite hard to spot. The iPod is also more sensitive to case variations and may split or reorder an album that looks okay in iTunes. Normally overtyping the desired value for each shared field will complete the grouping of the album into one entity. Occasionally, however, this method seems to fail. When this happens I've found that you can force every field to update properly by adding some extra text - e.g. a trailing X, which once applied seems to complete the joining of the tracks into one album. Once this has happened the extra data can be removed and the album should remain properly grouped.
*Tried that, there are STILL too many covers!*
The Sort Artist, Sort Album & Sort Album Artist fields can be used to override the normal sort order. For example iTunes automatically drops leading articles (a/an/the) so "The Beatles" are arranged under "B" instead of "T". Occasionally different tracks from the same album can have different values in these sort fields which can also break up the grouping. Making the sort columns visible in iTunes can help with spotting & correcting such problems.
*One cover for multi-disc album*
Multi-disc albums are often listed as *Album (CD1)* for CD 1, *Album (CD2)* for CD 2 etc. To display these properly using just one cover, each disc should have the correct *Disc X of Y* values set, and then the entire album should be given the single title Album. Being somewhat obsessive I also renumber the tracks sequentially, working backwards from the last track (so that no two tracks ever have the same number) until I reach disc 1. BTW You can still give the individual discs different artwork should it be relevant so that the correct artwork will be displayed as the album progresses.
*One artist, many names*
With some artists, particularly classical composers, you should be aware of alternative representations of their names. E.g. 2Pac vs. Tupac. The menus will work best if for each artist you standardise on just one form of their name. E.g. make a choice between Mozart, W.A. Mozart or Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, and then apply it consistently. For classical music I tend also to use the Composer as the Artist & Album Artist and either discard the performer details or place these into the Comments field.

Photos missing from library - Albums still there

I just recently started using iPhoto. I started doing photography 2 years ago, and I wanted to tag all of the people from my personal library. I added over 8,000 photos and tediously went through every one and tagged all of my friends/family. I probably tagged over 20,000 faces over the course of a few weeks.
I opened iPhoto a few days ago to finish up the tagging and every photo from every album (except my iPhone) was gone. I've been looking for a fix for a few days now with no luck. I'm sure it's obvious how aggravating this is and how much I would like to avoid having to repeat this process, especially if it will result in vanishing photos again.
One thing that might be helpful is that I do not duplicate photos added to iPhoto, I keep them in their original folders.
Abundant thanks to anyone who can help me resolve this.

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

How do I retrieve Photo's from Photoshop Album Starter Element 3.o ?

How do I retrieve Photos from Photoshop Album Starter Trial Edition 3.0 after the trial period has expired? I purchased Photoshop Elements 9 hoping I could use that to retrieve from Edition 3.0. No Luck!

The photos have never been stored in Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3. They are always stored on your hard disk somewhere, probably right where you put them when they came out of the camera. You need to search for them.

How to select photo's from multiple locations in Places view?

I want to select photos from multiple locations (close to eachother) in Places view (shift-P). I tried clicking to pins with cmd-click, but that did not work. They turn yellow, but that does not select the photos from that location.
Koen

Found the answer myself
Yellow pins select the photos from that location, whereas clicking the arrow on the balloon above the pin creates a filter for photos from that location.

Setting duration of multiple photos imported from iPhoto albums

in iMovie 5, i had no problem importing the photos from my iPhoto albums, and adjusting the 'Photo Settings' to what i needed, about 0:05 or 0:06. It seems in iMovie 6, that is no longer possible. Other posts here have mentioned setting of 0:03 or 0:11, but if not, it will default to some other value.
Anyway, in iMovie 5, i had no problem changing the duration to play each picture to the value i wanted, typically selecting all the photos in the project, and moving the slider bar or entering the exact value i wanted (0:00:05). That's not possible in iMovie 6, as far as i can tell. The only way i've found is to select each photo individually, 'get info', and set the value. The project is thousands of photos from 2 webcams of a building construction, creating a time-lapse video. I'm not about to select each of 25k photos to input a value...
I've seen the mention of using QuickTime Pro to do something similar. Is that the only option, or is there a way to do this with iMovie6. We only bought iLife '06 to complete the project (and upgraded, including updating all iPhoto albums & iMovie projects to newer versions), as iMovie 5 was not able to handle the large # of photos.
Any help would be appreciated.
- me

However, dragging the 5 photos to the clip area, they go back to that same 9:29 default...
Very strange. Instead of dragging the photos, try clicking the Apply button in the Photo Settings window.
That probably won't work. Something is causing iMovie to "stick" at 9:29. Drag the duration slider to a time less than 9:29 and import an image. Then save the project. Now do the routine I described earlier. It might start working.
If still no luck, quit iMovie and trash the iMovie preference file. It's located in your UserName/Library/Preferences folder. It's called "com.apple.iMovie.plist".
It contains the last Ken Burns settings. Discarding the preference file will force it return to a new default duration setting. One that works, hopefully. Then do the routine I described earlier.
If it still doesn't work, something is messing up iMovie. Rule out the problems descrbed here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1852869#1852869
Problems "talking" to iPhoto can cause iMovie to fail to locate the image, but it shouldn't affect the duration.

Photos missing from new albums. We just spent days making up new albums, now albums are empty!!

A little backround as we're new to this.
We imported all our photos onto our new Macbook pro from our old Macbook.
Then created smart albums for each year to sort the photos.
Then copied photos from each year into normal albums, so we could delete and edit the photos.
We then deleted the smart albums after we had finished copying and pasting the photos we wanted.
Everything worked fine until we went on holiday, so I shut the computer down.
Now I've started it back up and all the new albums are totally empty?!!
Please help!!!!

We imported all our photos onto our new Macbook pro from our old Macbook
Did you import the library from the old MB into a library on the new MB? If so that was the wrong way to move your library from the old MB to the new MB.
Then created smart albums for each year to sort the photos.
Then copied photos from each year into normal albums, so we could delete and edit the photos.
The correct way to move photos from a smart album into a regular album is to select the photos in the SA and use the File ➙ New Album menu option. That immediately create a new album with the contents of the SA. No need to copy or paste (if that's that you did as that would duplicate photos rather than point to the orignals. Remember albums are like playlists in iTune. Just pointers to the tracks and not actual files.
We then deleted the smart albums after we had finished copying and pasting the photos we wanted.
How did you go about this? Did you delete just the smart album or the phtoos in the SA? If it were the latter then you deleted the photos from the library entirely including from all other albums, slideshows, books or whatever they might have been in. That's because what's in albums are pointers to the original photos in their Events.

Photos disappearing from Flickr albums since update

Since the update, some of my published Flickr albums are suffering from some sort of attrition. I have an event with 75 pictures, which I published to Flickr just fine (pro account, uploading original sizes). Now every time I click on it in iPhoto, it spins the "update" icon next to it, and a couple photos disappear out of the Flickr album, both in iPhoto and on Flickr's site itself. The album is down to 63 items now. The original photos in the iPhoto library are unaffected, it's just in the Flickr album.
Anyone experiencing similar problems since the last update, or have any suggestions on how to fix it?

Yup, it shows up fine. The problem is at the publication stage when making a new Flickr album in iPhoto; not all photos are being published, which is where the problems start.
There seems to be no rhyme or reason to which photos aren't published. All the original photos, both in my iPhoto library and in Finder, are present and accounted for. Sometimes, they publish fine to Flickr, but later disappear from the iPhoto Flickr album so get re-downloaded from the Flickr website into my library, creating duplicates since the original photos are untouched.
I'm quite baffled by the problem, and frustrated since I got married a week and a half ago and have dozens of people nagging me to see the photos. The only thing I haven't tried is publishing them in a lower resolution, which even if it works isn't exactly the ideal solution; original file size publication is why I pay for a Flickr account.
