Trouble with making slide show VCD or copying photos to CD

I have saved approximately 200 photos and made a copy of the photos on a cd. The problem is that some of the photos copied horizontally instead of in vertical format.....the photos where all properly showing on the PSE7 organizer...but about 13 copied in the wrong format??? Then I tried making a slide show with music....works fine in the PSE7 program, but when I went to output to VCD, nothing copied....except some files that don't contain the photos?

1. Reduce the image size 1000 x 750 if you are using high resolution images.
2. Use windows supported codec background music for slide show.
3. Update the latest audio/video drivers.

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome

Problem with jquery slide show conflict with vertical navigation menu in Firefox & Chrome. Works in IE. This is my first time trying to post a question - so please be kind. I am also not good with code and am finding css a real challenge after learning to design based on tables. I'm using CS5.
The "test" page with the slide show is: http://www.reardanwa.com/index-slides.html   The same page without the slide show is http://www.reardanwa.com/
I realize the images are not ideally sized - I'll fix those once I get the pages to function. Maybe I need a different slide show? I would prefer a widget that I can modify to required size & postition. Again - I'm not good at building with code from scratch.
The problem is the naviagation links that are directly next to the slide show do not work in Firefox of Chrome. They do work in IE.
I've read about using jQuery.noConflict(); code but can't figure out the correct way to use it in my case or whether that's even part of the solution. I know my code is not well organized as I have cobbled together from various sources in an attempt to format the page the way the client wants it. Also, FYI, I will eventually try to make the page work in Surreal CMS.
I've spent sevaral days over the last several weeks trying to solve sth slide show/navigation conflict - so any specific light you can shed will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

HT3180 Anyone having trouble with Netflix not showing up in the internet menu? I am trying to do a reset, but it says it can't download latest updates try again later.

Anyone having trouble with Netflix not showing up on the Internet Menu? I have tried to do a reset and then restore, but it says that "the latest update download cannot be done at this time, try again later"

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Source list, and then click Restore.

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.

IPhoto faces playing the slide show started saying "alert photo can't be opened because couldn't find original

Iphoto faces playing the slide show-Started sayin "alert photo cant be oppened because it couldnt find the original.What does that mean?

do you have a default "managed" library (the iPhoto preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto library is in its checked state) or a referenced library (that option is unchecked)

Making slide shows with photographs still easy/better with IM 08?

Is the application any easier to add photos text and good transitions to create better slide shows/qt movies?
anyone tried this yet

I'm currently trying it and as far as I can tell the answer is a resounding NO. I'm dropping some time lapse images into iMovie and trying to add a cross dissolve transition between about 100 photos. If you set it up right during import you can do this, but you can no longer select multiple images and change the time or multiple transitions. In fact shift-clicking or command-clicking more than one clip no longer works.
I'm going back to iMovie 06 for this type of editing and just avoiding the crashes by doing smaller chunks at a time. Disappointing.

Music with a slide show

In I tunes, I croped some song to start at a particular location. This works fine in Itunes. However, when I use this music for a slide show in Iphoto, it plays the entire song insted of starting at the cropped point. Why?, and how do I fix it?

Alan:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The iTunes edits work only for iTunes. To trim a track in any way you'll need to do it with another application. You can do it in Garageband. I use the 3rd party editor Amadeus Pro. There are some freeware editors like Audacity. With Amadeus I can open a track select that portion I want to use and copy to a new file and then save. I do that for iDVD slideshows when I want to set the music for a specific total time for the number of slides that I've selected. Works very nicely. IMO Garageband is overkill for simple editing and I don't have it installed.
Another way to achieve what you want is to export the slideshow without music and edit it in iMovie. There you can add the audio tracks, trim, overlap,etc. and then save the composite movie file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can I make a DVD with multiple slide shows?

I am making a project for my son's school. Each classroom (7 or 8 rooms) has their own photo show that I am making. The school wants me to put all of the photoshows on one DVD and separate classrooms into different titles, so families can skip to their child's classroom. So, in theory, I would have one DVD and about 7 or 8 chapters on it. Each chapter would be a different photo show. Can this be done? Is there a tutorial that would be able to help me with this? I have made a photo show and have burned it onto a DVD, but I haven't done anything that requires separate headers/titles. Thoughts? Tia.

Here's a few useful tips when preparing the slideshow/s for an iDvd ...
First suggestion is not to exceed 6 buttons per menu (although some themes allow for up to 12 buttons per menu).
Secondly, don't exceed 99 images per slideshow if the objective is to present the slideshow on a typical set top dvd player or TV. Disregard this rule if you will use your mac / computer to present the dvd slideshow. Here's why:
iDVD '08: After 99 images in a slideshow, set-top DVD player will reset to chapter 1
In iDVD '08, your slideshows are no longer limited to 99 images. You can now have up to 9,801 images in a slideshow. When you are playing a slideshow on your DVD player, it will number the slides (which are chapters) from 1 to 99 and then start numbering over again at number 1 (on the one-hundredth slide). This is normal and not something you can control when you author your DVD. It is a specification that applies to all DVD players.

Thirdly, the following are articles to be aware of when making a slideshow/s with iDvd:
Preparing images for iDVD slideshows
You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.) You can also use photos directly from your iPhoto library.
Images and movies in a slideshow are scaled to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may have black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. (It is not possible to resize movies.) Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format

You can also make sure images in iDVD are always scaled to a size that will fit within the area visible on most TV screens, or the “TV safe area.”
o fit slides into the TV safe area:
Choose iDVD > Preferences.
Click Slideshow.
Select the checkbox labeled “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.”
Adding menus to an iDVD project
Depending on which theme you choose, the menus in your iDVD project can hold either 6 or 12 buttons. If you need more buttons on a menu than your theme allows, or if you need additional menus to organize the content of your DVD, you can create submenus.
Submenus give you flexibility in organizing your DVD. For example, perhaps you have several slideshows in your project. You can create a button on your main menu that links to a slideshow submenu that includes links to each of your slideshows. You can also create submenus for additional movies, extra features, and so on.
To add a submenu:
Make sure the menu to which you want to add a submenu is showing in the iDVD window.
Click the Add button (shown below), and choose Add Submenu from the pop-up menu.
A placeholder button labeled My Submenu appears on the menu. It has the default button style for the theme, so you may need to change it to match other buttons on the menu.
Click the placeholder label for the new button once to highlight it, and type a new name for the button.
When you click the label to highlight it, a light blue background appears behind the text.
Using the pop-up menus in the in-place control that appears (shown below), change the typeface, font style, and font size of the button name if you want.
To open the new submenu, double-click the newly added button. Notice that iDVD automatically applies the Extras menu style from your project’s theme to the submenu. Also, a Back button that returns to the previous menu appears on the submenu. You can now edit this menu just as you edit any other menu, changing its theme if you want. You can even use the Add button to create buttons that navigate to sub-submenus.
For more information about creating submenus, see Related Topics below.
And lastly, keep in mind you can also use iPhoto (as well as third party apps) for making a slideshow/s for use within iDvd.
Using iPhoto slideshows in iDVD
You can easily create slideshows in iDVD using images or albums from your iPhoto library.
You can also add slideshows created in iPhoto to your iDVD project. These slideshows are imported into iDVD as movies, which retain the effects and sounds you created in iPhoto. As a result, you can’t edit or change these slideshows in iDVD, and viewers can’t manually click through the slideshow using the DVD player remote control.
To import an iPhoto slideshow:
Make sure the DVD menu from which you want to access the slideshow is open in the iDVD window.
For example, if you want the slideshow to be accessible from the main menu of the DVD, the main menu should be showing in the iDVD window.
Open iPhoto and select a slideshow.
Choose Share > “Send to iDVD.”
After several minutes, a button for the slideshow appears on the menu. The button has the same name as the slideshow.
The slideshow also appears in the Movies section of the Media pane, so you can use it in other iDVD projects as well.
You can change the name of the button by clicking the button twice to highlight the text and typing a new name.
If iDVD is not open when you send your iPhoto slideshow to iDVD, iDVD opens to a new project automatically when iPhoto finishes processing the slideshow. A DVD menu, with a default theme, is displayed in the iDVD window, and it has a button for the iPhoto slideshow. In this case, if you want to add the sideshow to an existing iDVD project instead, choose File > Open, click Don’t Save, and then choose an existing project. When the project is open, you can click the Media button, then Movies, and drag the slideshow to any menu.
If your version of iPhoto does not support exporting directly to iDVD, you must export the slideshow from iPhoto as a QuickTime movie, and then import the QuickTime movie into your iDVD project.

Making slide shows

Hi all,
For my next exhibition of ‘real black and white photography’, I’ve assembled 45 colour images using the iMac to run a slide show as an additional attraction. I put them into iPhoto and used the ‘make slide show’ command.
I’ve given each image a fictional date by which it should be possible to show the images in the order I want to see them - but iPhoto just plays them as ‘it’ wants…
I’ve tried rebuilding it as a movie in Quick Time - no deal: I also tried Apple Keynote, but it thinks that everyone uses horizontal images; I can’t change its mind - not an ideal program for people with their own ideas on how things should look:-)
In the end, I settled for Preview, which works fine. It adjusts the various format images and plays them in the proper sequence. The only thing I cannot adjust, in Preview, is the time interval between each picture...
Can anyone help?
PS. On the other hand, I hope the above might be of help to others...

gete:
Did those portrait photos come from a digital camera
with auto-rotate capability? If so that's probably
the reason for some applications displaying them in
the default landscape orientation. To get them
permanently in the portrait mode try exporting then
to the desktop and check them by dragging into an
open Safari window. Safari does not read the rotate
tag that get embedded in those files so it will
display them in their true orientation.
A suggestion regarding the slideshow: have you
considered iDVD? You can set the order in an iPhoto
album and then from iDVD select that album and import
into a slideshow. With iDVD 6 you can add titles
and/or comments to each slide and the entire slide
will display on the TV screen (if you play it thru a
TV) unlike a QT video slideshow in iDVD which is
subject to the over scan you get with any video. You
can set the slideshow to play immediately when the
disk is inserted into the player and have it repeat
continuously.

Hi to the Old Toad - a friend of Wind in the Willows I guess:-)
None of these images are digital, apart from the fact they (6 x 7 cm color transparencies exposed in 1993 in Newfoundland) were scanned, tuned
and/or cropped according to how I re-visualized them.
So this 'Great Plan' of mine - as usual - doesn't fit the run of the mill stuff.
Actually, I ran it through several times last night in Preview and I'm satisfied with the result in the iMac - which I will take into the gallery to use as the display; I could use the PowerBook, but see no point buying a TFT monitor just for a 4 week-long show!
Your tip re making the show in iDVD looks interesting, and I'll give it a try later today - thanks for idea; I'll come back to you to say how it goes.
BTW, the main exhibition showcases my black and white images made in a Hasselblad 6 x 6 cm camera during the same 1993 journey, plus my latest limited (3 sets) edition of black and white prints in Ansel Adams quality.
You see, I'm one of the still surviving photo-dinosaurs:-)
Thanks again,
George

Can I use movie trailers with a slide show

I want to create a slide show of images and movie clips and I would like to use a movie trailer in conjuction with it---Is that possible?

Mackerel, meet MSM. MSM, meet Mackerel. You two are peas in a pod, at least with respect to your slide show plans and needs.
What you both want to do is exactly what presentation programs like PowerPoint and Keynote are made for. You could also do a version of it in Adobe Acrobat, and you could even cobble up some sort of horrible kludgy substitute in Word or any other word processor that can hold photographs (though the resulting document would be so enormous it might handle at truly glacial speed).
What you can't do in any of these programs, or in any other that I know of, is automate the placement of a text block that's associated with each picture. That you'd have to do manually. So if you don't like work, you'll either have to find another application that does the job without you, or hand your text out in printed form.

Making a narrative Slide show like the MS Photo Story

Just wondering is there any feature in Aperture 3, where I can easily to create a slide show
With background music
Narrating each photo, where I don't have to speak from the beginning to end without having the chance to pause (Where Microsoft Photo story can narrating on each photo, but when you play the slide show, it look like you are doing in one go).

See [Adding Music and Audio to Slideshows|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/#chapter=21%26 section=10%26hash=apple_ref:doc:uid:Aperture-UserManual-91292SLD-SW72] in the User Manual.

Elements 8 -help with outputting slide shows to File?

Can anyone help with saving a slide show in created in Elements to a file on my laptop? I know a WMV file is created, which option should I select to save in UK widescreen format 16:9?

Bob, thanks for prompt answer.
I am ultimately going to write the file to a DVD using Windows DVD Maker. Is the 16:9 format the DVD-PAL 720x576 option, or the High 1024x768 option?

Elements working with Other Slide Show Products

We've had some debates here about slide show products other than the function within Elements. Personally I opted for Proshow Gold, which I've been very pleased with.
However, it lacks in one aspect and that's locating the files you want to put into a show. That's because I rely on the E3 Organiser to make sense of the thousands of folders and meaningless filenames I have. Proshow has an Explorer like interface which means you need to know where the image is actually stored on your hard drive.
So, naturally I thought I'd see if I could get Proshow to work along side the E3 Organiser.....and it does!!!
If you open both programs you can just select images in the Organiser Window an drag them into Proshow. So now I can create a Collection of the images I want in E3 and just drag the whole lot into Proshow.
It also works with Photostory 3 so may there are others that will work as well.
It did trip up once. An image got put into Proshow that wasn't one I'd selected but had the same name. It might have been part of a version set...I haven't figured that out yet.
Colin

Folks....
Back playing again....:-)
If you drop the images from the Elements Collection into the Proshow Light Box it does retain the order in which they appear in the Collection, albeit reversed, irrespective of date.
If you drop them into the Slide Show image collection bar at the bottom of the Proshow window then the order sometimes gets a little scrambled.
I'll disagree with Grant about ordering them in Organiser v Proshow. I find E3 Organiser easier to use. So I create a collection of images for the slideshow from the various folders I want, order them in the collection, select all and drag and drop.

Dreamweaver website with flash slide showing showing graphics poorly

Hello,
I put this problem up in Dreamweaver and Flash and got some questions from couple people but no answer yet. Adobe tech support is only available mon though fri so thhey are not available, so I thought I would try here.
I have a flash slide show I built for a dreamweaver website that contains vecctor images that are losing quality when I run my domain site. I have tested the flash file in flash looks great. I have previewed in live view in dreamweaver graphics look smooth but when I load up my files to ftp to my host account and test from there the quality of the edges of the vectors is not smooth. I see lots of jagged edges and not sure why.
I test everything on my 24 inch monitor so the graphics are probably enlarged but even when I test the flash file in flash and the html file of my hard drive to a browser like firefox my graphics are smooth, so not sure if its resolution problem. also tested my website on my laptop which is a smaller screen 15 inch and the graphics look bad on the website from there too. Soi f it were a resolution problem I think the 15 inch screen would be showing the graphics smoothly not jagged. ?????
Does anyone have any ideas or could assist me with this problem? I
Johanna
http://johannabresnahan.com
please keep in mind when tested in flash, dreamweaver (live view and firefox browser from my hardrive html files the graphics all appear smooth and good quality. its when I transferred them by ftp to host server files and preview there and enter in my website url that the quality of the graphics and text in the graphics is jagged in many areas.
I spoke with the domain tech support too but did not get the answer but some thoughful input.

The key answer to this problem was to import the files in the original native form ai not jpeg for the
vector illustrations which kept the quality of the text that was converted
with create outlines tool in illustrator to make each character its own independent graphic
to be independently scalable to maintain its quality. Since most of the problems I was having were related to the text inside each artwork was rendered poorly in the finished slideshow on my live website url. The digital photography images were never a problem. The commentary and feedback in the dreamweaver forum helped me to figure out how to resolve the issues I was having.
I just thought I would post here in case anyone was wondering.
