Sequencing images in iphoto slideshow for photo frame playback via flash drive

I have created a slide show in iphoto and saved it to a flash drive. I want the show to play in a particular sequence. On the computer that works. When playing the show via the flash drive on my Pandigital Photo Frame, however, the images randomize. The images have numbered filenames, and the shuffle function on the photo frame is turned off. What do I need to do differently?

When I connected the frame to the computer, no photo files showed, not even when I added the flash drive to the frame.
The sequence of the files on the flash drive is numerical, just what I am after. Something seems to be happening within the frame. In addition, while I have placed no files into the frame's internal memory, and none show up, when I play the slideshow, files that I once had in the slideshow file but later deleted, still appear!?

Exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low

I am using Macbook air Early 2014. OS X 10.10.1
My question is I exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low. I used 480P MP4 format. How I can improve this?
Lo

Hello!
My first question is pretty obvious:
- is the quality great when previewing your slideshow in iPhoto?
If so, try the following:
delete the bad slideshow from iTunes
go back to iPhoto and select a better quality export method, like 720p or 1080p
Did that help?

How to save your photos to a usb flash drive

Hi, I was wondering how I can remove my Photos using a usb flash drive. I know I can save them in the Cloud and prefer not too. Would appreciate any help. Thanks

You're going to need a computer to do this, no direct way. For instance you could send them to Dropbox, then from there use a computer to download the files from Dropbox to a flash. Or use a WiFi transfer App on the iPad to send the photos to a computer than has the desktop version of the App, and then copy to flash drive.

Transfer photos from computer to flash drive

I would like to transfer photos from computer to flash drive so I can view them on Smart TV. Only option on computer is to burn to CD or DVD.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I do not see any info on the Windows version or PC model, so here are generic instructions.
1) assuming the flash drive is seen when opening "my computer" or "computer" double click on the flash drive - it should open another window showing what, if anything is on the flash drive. Leaving that window open, now find the pictures you wish to copy or move and highlight them by clicking each one or a group (select more than one by holding the control key down while clicking in the photos) Now right click on one of the selected photos and then pick "copy" or and then right click on the open flash drive windows, right click "paste"
OR
left click and hold on one of the photos and drag the group highlighted into the open flash drive window, release the left click.

Transferring photos and videos to flash drive

I tried to transfer my photos and videos from iphoto to a 16G flash drive on my Macbook Air. I am running out of memory on my Macbook but want easy access to my video and photos. In Iphoto I transferred my very large file by exporting to my flash drive. My problem is only my photos were transferred. The videos were transferred but wont play. I dont understand how the file of a video can be transferred but not the contents of it. What did I do wrong? I also checked the storage on system information and it only shows pictures on my flash drive and no movies. What should I do now?

I have a similiar issue. I backed up iPhoto (which contained .avi files) to a flash drive in case of alarmingly inevitable hard drive failure(s). When that day came, I imported the contents of the flash back into iPhoto, but the videos have no content. what up with dat??

HT5172 Glad to have USB capability on my new iMac. Been in Mac world all of 2 days now. Question - I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and am wondering if flash drives have to be ejected the same as on a PC? Can't find how to do it. Thanks.

Been in the iMac world now all of 2 days. I'm glad to have USB capability. I downloaded photos from a Centron flash drive and now need to remove the flash drive. Do you eject flash drives on iMacs as we did on PC's? Can't find an answer in the support area. Thanks...

Yes. All external drives regardless of how they are connected must be ejected before they can be unplugged.

How do I Export Raw images from Iphoto to Adobe Photo Elements 4

I recently purchased Photo elements 4 because I could import images from Iphoto in Raw format and work with them. Everything I have read and the instructional video sent to me by Adobe make it look and sound very easy but so far I have had no success.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4. However I can not find my Raw images. What am I doing wrong or failing to do and is there some logical sequence that I have to follow to import Raw images.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
Thanks for any help you can provide

dakota8,
iPhoto and Adobe Bridge are incompatible, so you need to decide which one you want to use (for which photos). iPhoto is a database, with many flexible features for organizing your library and finding your photos. Bridge is a file browser with some organizing capabilities. You absolutely should not use Bridge or any other application (Finder included) to browse the files inside your iPhoto Library folder, as it will damage the iPhoto database. To verify, click on iPhoto's Help and read the section "About using the iPhoto Library."
If you want to keep your RAW files in iPhoto, then you'll need to open them from iPhoto. As Dave E said, this can be done by setting the iPhoto pref to export RAW files. You also need to set PE 4 as the external editor in iPhoto's preferences. With this setup, you can select photos using iPhoto, open the RAW files into PE 4, then edit. Now comes the wrinkle in the workflow. Normally, you would do a Save to cause your edited file to be saved back into the iPhoto library. This Save, not Save As, requires that the filename and extension stay the same. Works great with jpeg files. However, once you edit the RAW, the extension (and file format) must change. Save will not work, because any save at this point is treated like a Save As. So you have to Save As to a folder OUTside of your iPhoto Library, and then import it in as a new file. There will be no link between the edited version and its unedited RAW file. You could organize inside iPhoto to display the edited file beside its original RAW, or keep separate rolls for the originals and edits.
With that in mind, you might not want to save the RAW files in iPhoto at all. You could create your own filing system for them, which you would browse using Bridge. Upload using Image Capture to save your files to a folder of your choice. Once you edit the RAW files and save as another format, you could them import into iPhoto for cataloging or further editing. You'll just have to find the system that works best for you.
BTW, don't save your edited RAW files as Adobe RAW. I tried and discovered that iPhoto refuses to import them at all.
I have been able to open Bridge and view photos from Iphoto so it seems to me that everything that I have in Iphoto is automatically transfered to Elements 4.
There's no transferring involved at all. Bridge is rooting directly inside the iPhoto Library folder. Did I mention that it's best to avoid this?
However I can not find my Raw images.
When you import a file it is saved into the Originals folder. Your RAW files are there, along with any video clips you may have imported.
iPhoto automatically creates a jpeg version of your RAW files and stores it in the Modified folder. It has to do this in order to display the picture on your screen. With video clips, a jpeg of the first frame is created for display purposes.
I am using a Nikon D200 and just to be safe I have been shooting so the images are saved both in JPEG and RAW.
If you import both versions into iPhoto, then you have
Originals - RAW
Modified - jpeg
Originals - jpeg
(Modified - jpeg - if you edit the jpeg version or if they are auto-rotated to portrait orientation)
I don't shoot in RAW, so I can't really comment about which workflow would be the most efficient. I just played with it long enough to realize that there is no easy way to do it.
Regards.

My Apple TV is having problems with slideshows for photos synced from iTunes. How can I make it play thew whole slideshow without starting the loop again half way through?

My Apple TV randomly returns to the beginning in the middle of the slideshow for no reason. I don't habve the photos on shuffle
I started the slide show many times and somtimes it got through 20 photos, other times 50. Then all of a sudden, it goes back to the beginning and starts again. It's so frustrating as there is no reason for this and it doesn't loop back to the start on the same photo each time. I have about 350 photos in the album and they all loaded fine as thumbnails before I played the slideshow.
Can anyone help please?
Thanks, Adam

Have solved my own problem. My PC sits on the floor so I have a four-port USB hub on my desktop with one port in use. I use one of the other three ports for USB-related task. As I was shutting down for the night I had a - what turned out to be inspired - thought about whether there was an adequate power supply from the hub. I then tried the iPod USB connection directly into the front of my machine and everything worked. It seems that an inadequate power supply was the cause of this strange set of conditions.

Looking for photo frame with lots of features

Look for ipad photo frame app. One that will let me display pics from various sources, like facebook, my servers in the home, flickr.
Thanks

I tried many apps, but I narrowed it down to... Iphonso.com Air Frame.
It lets you view your facebook photos or friends', flickr via a bunch of categories, or enter tags. It includes your local photos.
It does not have the ability yet to to include your network shares, but I am hoping they include this in the next version.
So now looking at pics that are being streamed in from remote site, and at the same time listening to music that is also streamed in (via Home Sharing). Bliss.
Thanks for all your help

Slightly OT: iPhoto-compatible digital photo frame?

Does anyone make a digital photo frame that can wirelessly dip into your iPhoto stash via Bonjour, like AppleTV can?
Thanks!

Don't know of one.
Try the iPhoto forum too, TD or Old Toad there might know.

Lightroom plug ins for photo frames

I do all my digital processing in Lightroom and would like to experiment with printing photos with retro analog-style photo frames, i.e. slightly ragged black film edges. However, all plug ins I have found seem to require the layering capabilities in Photoshop. Do I have to get Photoshop or does anyone have a suggestion that works in Lightroom?

Have you tried OnOne's PhotoFrame plug-in? You can operate that out of LR. Although, that might be what you mean by layering in PS. Not sure how/if the plug-in works w/o PS. What I've found simpler is to take one of the photoframes I like in PS and fit it to the size I want and save it as a png file. Even if you don't have PS, if you can create a png elsewhere with the necessary transparency, that would work. LR will let you use png files as overlays in the identity plate part of the Print module. LR might protest that the file is too big, but seems to take them anyway. I've only needed up to a 12x14 size, but it works great and is quicker than a plug-in.

How do I copy some photos from iPhoto on my Macbook to a usb flash drive?

Hi - I want to copy some photo's in iPhoto onto a usb flash drive. How do I do this?
Thank you

Insert your usb flash drive.
In iPhoto select the photos you want to write to the flash drive and use the command "File > Export".
In the "Export" panel set the quality and size you want for the exported images. Then click the "Export" button and in the File Chooser dialouge select your flash drive as the destination.

Move iphoto pics to photo when library on external drive

Now that iphoto has changed to Photos, Im not sure how to import by library. First of all, I had my iphot library stored on a separate external drive due to size. Apparently leaving the Photos library on an external drive does not allow you to share using icloud. Not sure how this is helpful for people with very large libraries. Anyways, after Photos was installed, I switched it to access my iphoto library on the external drive and it converted it from iphoto to Photos, then dumped all my old events into one album. I then tried to set it back to the system Photos library and then attempted to import the photos from my old iphoto and the newly converted Photos library into the System Photos library but it wont allow me to select it. How do I properly move my old events/photos into the system library for Photos? Should my old events be converted to albums somehow? Will new photos added create a new moment...album or what.

Old Toad wrote:
Moments in Photo are the new Events, i.e. groupings of photos sorted by date taken.
When the iPhoto Library was first migrated to Photos there was a folder created in the sidebar titled iPhoto Events and all migrated iPhoto Events (which are now Moments) are represented by an album in that folder. To open the sidebar if it's not already open use the Option+Command+S key combination.
There's a way to simulate events in Photos.
When new photos are imported into the Photos library go to the Last Import smart album, select all the photos and use the File ➙ New Album menu option or use the key combination Command+N. Name it as desired. It will appear just above the iPhoto Events folder where you can drag it into the iPhoto Events folder
When you click on the iPhoto Events folder you'll get a simulated iPhoto Events window.
The downside to the simulation is that the Album/Events can only be sorted automatically by Title. But they can also be sorted manually, either in the sidebar or in the folder's window at the right.
Ask Apple for more sorting options in Photos via https://www.apple.com/feedback/photos.html.
What about the other way? Can you convert the old events to moments so everything is organized together?
