Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them. Report back with the results.

Moving Slide Show from iPhoto into iDVD does not capture music

I have created several slide shows in iPhoto. I recently photographed a wedding and created a slide show set to music from my iTunes playlist. When I sent the slideshow to iDVD it picked up the transitions, timing, etc., but did not pick up the music. I am at a loss, as I have tried to drag and drop the music and that won't work.

Click Here
First double click where it say's slideshow (assuming you have already added your photos to iDvd). If you haven't then see the link and instructions below.
Now insert the audio cd, open it, and drag & drop the audio file directly to the slideshow audio well as in the above example.

Adding sound to a slideshow
Adding a soundtrack to a slideshow can enhance the mood or tone of the slideshow, provide information, or tell a story. You can use a song or entire playlist from your iTunes library, music you composed in GarageBand, and even a voiceover you recorded in GarageBand or some other application. You can also use any audio files that QuickTime supports (including AIFF/AIFC, Audio CD, AAC, MP3, WAV, and MPEG-4).
If you add audio to your slideshow, you can’t set the slideshow to advance manually.
To add a soundtrack to a slideshow:
Double-click the button for your slideshow on the DVD menu to open the slideshow editor.
Click the Media button to open the Media pane, and then click Audio.
Click GarageBand to find songs in GarageBand, or iTunes to find music in your iTunes library.
Drag a playlist or a song from the Audio pane to the audio well (shown below) in the slideshow editor.
You can also drag audio files from another folder on your hard disk or from a connected server to the audio well. The audio well icon changes from a speaker to one that corresponds with the type of file you added.
The slide duration is automatically set to “Fit to Audio” to ensure that the slideshow and soundtrack finish at the same time. If you want to manually change how long each slide stays onscreen, choose the number of seconds from the Slide Duration pop-up menu.
When you do this, the slideshow and music may become out of sync, so it’s important to preview the slideshow to make sure you like it. Click the Preview button at the bottom of the iDVD window, which brings up the iDVD remote control. Click Exit in the remote control to return to the slideshow editor.
Click the Return button to exit the sideshow editor.
If the Slide Duration pop-up menu is set to “Fit to Audio,” and the music is too short for all the slides and transitions, iDVD sets the slide duration to the smallest duration above 1 second that allows it to play or repeat the song completely.
If you add a playlist to the audio well, the songs play in the slideshow in the same order they appear in the playlist. If you want to change the order of songs, do that in iTunes and then add the playlist to your DVD again.
If you add movies that have audio to your slideshow, you can hear this audio when a movie is playing in the slideshow. If your slideshow has a soundtrack, the soundtrack fades out while the movie is playing so that the movie audio can be heard. This is a default setting (”Duck audio while playing movies”) in the slideshow editor, controlled in the Settings dialog.
To delete the audio from a slideshow, simply drag the music icon out of the audio well. To replace the existing audio, drag a new song or playlist into the audio well.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it.

I cannot view/sync albums from iPhoto on my iPhone whilst iCloud photo library (beta) is on. Why? and is there a way of doing it. It is especially frustrating given I have subscribed to more space yet I have to turn it off to view!

I found the answer in another discussion group, so I have just erased everything through settings on my new iphone and in Backups on itunes, I have clicked on restore back up. So it appears to be working.

Importing photos from iphoto into idvd

I am trying to import photos from iphoto into idvd for a slideshow. When the photos move into idvd they are not in the same order as they were in the iphoto library. What could be the possible cause of this?? I did go into iphoto and place comments in after the fact. Would that have anything to do with it?

Try this possible solution from acgray on Mac OS X Hints:
I have worked with many users who like to take iPhoto albums and make DVDs of them with iDVD. However, one very annoying bug (feature?) has to do with the fact that when you are in iDVD, it randomizes the sort order of the Photos in your album. Not only that, but it is painstaking and time consuming changing the order in iDVD.
My solution..
Select All in the album in iPhoto you want to use in iDVD as a slideshow. Then use File -> Export -> File Export. The secret is to select "Use Album Name" as this will rename the images in sequential order, based on the order that you put them in. Save them in their own new folder somehwere easy to find (ie on the Desktop).
Then, in iDVD, either drag, or I believe you can import the entire folder into the Slideshow project window, and voila! your slides are in order. I believe you can throw away the folder with the exported images as they should now be saved into the Project, but don't quote me on that.

I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures. It took the entire iPhoto Library. Now I can't use it, and I cannot open it. How do I get it back to just iPhoto?

I tried moving an album from iPhoto to Pictures, but the entire iPhoto Library moved.
I now cannot open iPhoto. How can I get it back?

A folder named Library popped up in Pictures. I didn't want the entire Library, just the one album.
When I open the Library Folder in Pictures, I get sub folders dated with years.
When I open the subfolders, I just keep getting more folders.
This looks like you were viewing your iPhoto Library; the contents of the Masters folder. Is your original iPhoto library still there?
Where do you keep your iPhoto library? In the default location in your "Pictures" folder?

I just downloaded an album from a gift card, and not all the songs were downloaded..how do i finish downloading the album without purchasing it again?

I just downloaded the T-Pain rEVOLVEr Album from a gift card, but not all the songs were downloaded to my library. Is there a way to finish downloading the remaining songs without purchasing the entire album?

Hey Astrozilla,
Thanks for the question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
I understand you are having issues with a couple of songs you recently purchased. It may be that these songs did not download fully, or correctly. The best troubleshooting step may be to delete the songs from your library, and re-download using iTunes in the Cloud (if available in your country).
For more information, see the following:
Songs in iTunes may not play back completely
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4357
Symptoms
Occasionally, if a song purchased from the iTunes Store on a Mac or PC was not downloaded completely, the song may not play back fully. The song may abruptly stop during playback, and iTunes may start playing the next song in your library or playlist.
Resolution
If iTunes in the Cloud is available in your country, try the following steps to resolve the issue:
1. Delete the purchased song that is exhibiting the problem from your iTunes library.
2. Click on the Purchased link in the iTunes Store to view your previously purchased music.
3. Download your previously purchased song from this list.
Note: iTunes in the Cloud, which allows you to download previously purchased songs from the iTunes Store, is not available in every country. Learn if iTunes in the Cloud is offered in your country.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Audiio problems importing slideshow from iphoto into idvd

Hello everyone, I'm new at creating slide shows and videos. I'm creating a montage for a party.
I have created a slides how in iphoto 09, exported it, then opened it in idvd 09. Every time, something gets screwed up in the music I had chosen to play along with the slides how. Usually the first song plays fine, then the second song plays part way, then the first song starts up again.
So, I tried exporting the slide show without audio, figuring I could add it in idvd. However, because it is importing the slide show as a video, I can't seem to get the "audio well" button or any way to add audio to the slide show.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add sound? I have also tried saving the slide show as a quicktime movie, but can't seem to import it into either imovie or idvd. Help!!
Thanks very much.

Help! All Songs Transferred From iPhoto to iDVD Did Not Come Accross! Why

My slideshow (240 photos) with a playlist (five songs) all looked great in iPhoto. I sent the slideshow via the 'Send to iDVD' pull down menu to build the theme/DVD before burning. Why I preview the slideshow before burning, I only hear the first (of five) songs. All the photos are right (with Ken Burns, etc...) but I only hear the first song. Ugh! Please help!
Thanks!
iMac G4 Flat Panel Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Hi rocketman:
There is a bug that causes that to happen...
(Thanks to John Kellar):
One workaround is to make a slideshow soundtrack by making a single long track of music from purchased or regular music:
1) Burn your desired playlist to CD in iTunes.
2) Make sure you have itunes Preferences set to "just open the CD and not automatically play or import the songs."
3) Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
4) Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
5) Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
6) When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
7) Put the new combined track into the playlist.
8) In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.
You can also Share/Export the slideshow to Full Quality DV; import the resulting Quicktime movie into iMovie and add the music there (or do the whole slideshow in iMovie). If you have Quicktime Pro, you can Share/Export the slideshow (like above), but then open the resulting Quicktime movie in QTPro, and copy/paste your music from within Quicktime.

HT4236 When I am trying to delete albums from my phone, I went through all of the steps on this page but the pics were only deleted from my pc not my phone. Can anyone explain this to me I am trying to delete from my phone.

I need to delete the photo album on my iphone 4, I went though all of the steps on the support page but the only place the pics were deleted were on my pc not my phone. When I selected selected alnums, it only gave the options of albums on my pc. it did not list the albums on my phone. These albums have completly used up all of my storage. Please help. If you know how to help me you can email me directly to [email protected] Thank you.

That file could be set as a Launch Agent or Daemon in your ~/Library or /Library, You could try to look for it or Safeboot your computer and then empty the trash. Safebooting disables Launch Agents/Daemon and Third Party Kernal extensions. Here's the article to Safeboot OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode? - Apple Support

Iphoto 09 - after install, not all photo's can be printed - help

After installing iphoto, not all of my photo's were displaying. and when I had tried to print, only original photo's would print. if a duplicated or edited photo was selected, it would just look like a screen dump. I have uninstalled the software and re-installed it. the same problem occured. When I reinstalled it, the faces did not run. help please!

i think i found a solution. rebuilding the photo database and fixing permissions did not correct a problem with 1 of the 4 photos I was attempting to print. Editing the photo in iPhoto may have resulting in the photo becoming corrupted. To make a long story short ... I used Time Machine to retrieve an earlier version of the corrupted photo, and all seems to be well.

I am trying to add music from itunes. The songs I recently purchased are coming up as a generic error. what do i do?

In the past I have not had any issues adding music to my videos. Now all of the sudden I am unable to add recently purchased songs. I have tried burning them to a CD and reimporting the songs to add. Do you have any idea how to fix this?

footballmom05
What version of Premiere Elements are you using and on what computer operating system is it running?
More details are needed for "In the past I have not had any issues adding music to my videos."
But, hopefully, cutting to the core of the issue
In what format are your problem files?
iTune music issues are typically resolved by converting the iTune music file to .wav in iTunes and then importing that .wav into
Premiere Elements, using Premiere Elements Add Media (version 11 or 12) and Get Media (versions earlier than 11)/Files and Folders/
This the iTune link for the how to.
iTunes: How to convert a song to a different file format
Please let me know if you need for me to fine tune any of the details.
Please let us know if any of the above worked for you.
Thank you.

Including "Comments" from Iphoto to iDVD

I am trying to include Comments from Iphoto to iDVD and could use any suggestion on how to do this? I just want to be able to see the copy we have worked so hard to type in next to each photo.

Export the slideshow to QT and then add the QT movie file to an iDVD slideshow. This will scale the movie file to the TV safe area like it does with still photos avoiding the approx. 10% image loss due to TV overscan on older TV set.
Another slideshow application to consider is PhotoPresenter which offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are demostrated here.

Import Images into slide show - Creating Thumbnail images -Hang

I am using iDVD 7. I imported my images into a slideshow. The pictures were not in iPhoto but just a folder that I created and edited in Photoshop. Once I import the images, the window shows all the file names as expected but all the Image Thumbnails are blank and the top of the window there is a message "+Creating thumbnail images... (32 remaining)+" with a spinning wheel next to the message. This message stays there forever. The 32 is the number of images in the slideshow. I can do most things in iDVD while this is going on, but I cannot add the audio I want.
What is causing this and can I get it to stop?

To add to this I decided to remove the slideshow and now import the pictures from iPhoto. I can only get ride of the message by closing iDVD down. When I relaunch iDVD the message is gone. When I now import the pictures from iPhoto the same thing happens where it hangs on creating thumbnail images.

IPhoto to Aperture 3 import - not all photos get imported...

Hello - My library is not huge, only about 8000 photos. Just bought Aperture 3 and imported my iPhoto library into A3. Seemed to go without issues. Today, as I re-organize a few folders, projects, etc., I realize that not all the photos were imported. About 700, to be exact. Every named Event in iPhoto imported over into A3, but not all photos within each Event (now Project). Any thoughts on what could have happened and how this could be avoided?
I could import each Event individually, but then I would loose all my keywords. Any work around you can think of? Thanks!

Try rebuild your iPhoto Library:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
I would import each event individually, but I would like my keywords preserved
Using the iPhoto Media Browser (File -> Import -> Show iPhoto Browser) will get your keywords too.
Regards
TD
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
