Using iphoto to drive a slide show through a digital projector

This is a very basic question. If you create a slide show on iphoto, can you use it with a projector, and if so, is it just a case of connecting the projector to the computer?

If you create a slide show on iphoto, can you use it with a projector,
Yes.
and if so, is it just a case of connecting the projector to the computer?
Largely, yes, but it will ultimately depend on the model of projector.

  • In an effort to try to do a slide show through my apple TV and my computer I have lost all of my work in iPhono for the past 5 years. I upgraded and lost my albums and books. How do I get everything back the way it was?

    In an effort to try and show a slide show through my apple tv I upgraded my iPhoto app now I have lost all of my books albums and photo's over the last 5 years. How can I get it back the way it was 2 hours ago?

    to know your version of OS, click on the apple, then  " About This Mac".
    Same thing for your version of iPhoto: in iPhoto, click on "iPhoto" then "About iPhoto".

    Hi Sujatha vijay,
    It sounds as if your Apple TV is in Conference Room Display mode. You will need to turn this off. See this article -

    Hi
    SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
    One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
    or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
    (only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.

  • I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply.

    I get this error message when I try to email photos using iPhoto: Your email did not go through because the server did not reply. How can I get this to work when my internet is connected?

    Are you able to email from Mail with those two accounts?  If so:
    1 - go to iPhoto's Accounts preference pane and delete both accounts. Now add them back and try again.
    2 - a better solution IMO is to set Mail as the email client for iPhoto is iPhoto's General preference pane.  This gives you better access to your contacts, a sent copy of all emails and, if you want a layout similar to iPhoto's, photo layouts located in Mail's stationary.

    You don't.
    Slideshows are exported as movies and these are very large files. Email is not an appropriate medium for very large files as they can cause immense issues for the receiver.
    Better to share some other way.

    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)

  • Can you use multiple songs for a slide show in iphoto ios 2.0?

    I want to prepare a 10 minute slide show that uses more than one song.   It seems you can use a playlist using iphoto for mac (and I have seen that in other discussion threads) but what about iphoto for IOS on an ipad?   It seems to let me only use one song.   I am on IOS7 and using the lastest iphoto for ipad (v 2.0)Any suggestions out there?  Thanks

    You are welcome. Have a look at the GarageBand Help to get started.
    Basically you need to
    Create a new project - select an empty project template.
    Open the Media Browser and drag the songs from your iTunes playlist into the track area.
    Use the "Share" menu to send your new sound track to iTunes.
    This screenshot is from GarageBand 10.0, but in GarageBand '11 it would be similar.
    Just in case that you want to add some sound effects to the soundtrack, like rain or thunder, you will find the clips in the Loop Browser:
    Good luck for your slideshow

  • IPhoto does not retain slide show settings

    I'm making a simple slide show using the Ken Burns effect. Some of the transitions work well, but others cut off the tops of heads and titles I imported from another program. I find Title slides very difficult to create in iPhoto but that's another story.
    There doesn't seem to be any way to save or finalize a slide show. Just when I think I've set it the way I want, it takes over and starts cutting off pieces of the images. I have tried cropping within iPhoto, or editing in Photoshop using the "edit in external editor" option. My changes do not get saved so there are ridiculous unprofessional chopped-off slides. I'd like this to look right before I post it at my organization's website and am getting frustrated.

    Success! Thank you so much. I would have replied sooner but I spent the morning going through your advice step by step and every time I gave my slide show a tweak - it worked.
    As I enter this reply I am exporting the slideshow so it can be uploaded.
    In case this should be helpful to another user I'll go through your queries:
    Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album of photos or user the iPhoto Slideshow mode?
    • I am still blundering along figuring out the distinctions between Events and Albums. In this case I imported my slides into the Photos section, in carefully numbered sequence because on my previous import they ended up in a confusing mess. I dragged and dropped the numbered files into the slideshow I was creating.
    Are the cut off photos in the portrait orientation?
    • Mostly, but not always.
    Are you using the Ken Burns theme or applying KB to selected photos?
    • I used KB, even though I knew I was asking for trouble…
    What theme are you using?
    • KB was the theme I picked because it seemed to work best for this set of images. I tried Classic with dissolves but after tweaking using your information, preferred KB and am using it.
    First guess is that you have the optiion to Scale photos to fill screen selected:
    • I was completely ignorant of this feature. Very important!
    If you're using a specific theme some of them do not handle portrait oriented photos well. They do get cut off at top and bottom.
    • I will keep that in mind for future slide shows.
    Also set the aspect ration to TV: 4:3 unless the photos are in the widescreen size ratio: 16:9
    • This may have been the final setting for success.
    Now I can face my boss

  • Burning slide show through idvd

    My friend has a slide show of several hundred slides. He made it in iphoto. He would like to burn it to a dvd that will be able to play on a tv so he can send it off to friends that were also on the trip. On the iphoto board I was told to "share" "send to idvd". Can someone give me the steps from there?
    Thanks! Hope I am posting this in the right place!

    Hi jersey:
    I would suggest saving the iDVD project as a disk image and burning it with the disk utility. That way when you can choose the slowest burn possible to make the best playing DVD possible.

  • IPhoto 11 crashes when slide show theme is selected

    My iPhoto 11 on Lion freezes when slide show theme button is selected. Anyone else experience this?

    Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS.  So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • The way iPhoto makes choices for slide shows?

    So far I have been having very good luck with iPhoto and slide shows using the "scrapbook" layout. It is doing about 99% of what I want. Here are my current 2 issues:
    1. As I see it, iPhoto is determining, based on the photo, what kind of presentation to use for each picture (whether it is vertical, horizontal, the 5 pane with the oval in the center, etc.). My question is whether there is a way to control that for a particular slide? Can I force a picture to be horizontal? Can I force which picture is where in the 5 pane slide? Sometimes that oval overlaps an important piece of the underlying photo.
    2. My second issue is that I have a woman sitting in a chair with a baby laying on her lap. iPhoto insists on making a slide of the woman, but crops out the baby on her lap. How can I force more of the picture being shown?
    Any insight is greatly appreciated...
    Paul

    As I see it, iPhoto is determining, based on the photo, what kind of presentation to use for each picture (whether it is vertical, horizontal, the 5 pane with the oval in the center, etc.).
    It’s not the size, it’s the Aspect Ratio - whether it’s landscape or Portrait layout.
    My question is whether there is a way to control that for a particular slide? Can I force a picture to be horizontal?
    Only by cropping the pic into landscape
    Can I force which picture is where in the 5 pane slide?
    Make sure it’s the fifth pic in the sequence
    My second issue is that I have a woman sitting in a chair with a baby laying on her lap. iPhoto insists on making a slide of the woman, but crops out the baby on her lap. How can I force more of the picture being shown?
    Crop it to focus on the preferred subject.

  • Panic Attack: iPhoto 7.1.5 slide show Blank

    I recently copied over my entire iPhoto Library from my G5 Quad to my MBP. After opening iPhoto, I selected one of the groups to play a slide show. Everything worked fine. (I used the option to create the slide show using the right arrow button on the lower bottom left of the application.)
    I then decided to add music. I then copied my iTunes library over from my Quad to MBP. I then opened iTiunes to make sure everything work and it did.
    I then selected the music playlist I wanted to play in the background of my Slide show and started the slide show--problem is now the slide show is blank almost all the time. Maybe every 20 seconds or so a slide comes up. The music plays fine.
    I hve tried the following to resolve the problem:
    1. Rebooted
    2. Repaired disk permissions
    3. Unselected music
    4. Tried selecting a different picture group
    5. Change Transition
    6. Unselected "scale photos to fill screen'
    Yet I get the same blank slide show. I have to give this slide show tomorrow, so now I am now experiencing a panic attack. Any ideas where to start?

    I copy the entire 'Pictures' folder over from another Mac and then put it into the MBP Pictures folder. That is what did not work.
    Hw did you point iPhoto at this library.
    On the second version, I copied just the iPhoto File (35 GBs) and then drag it into iPhoto on the MBP. After it loaded the pictures (6000 of the), I noticed that the albums on the lower left of iPhoto did not come over in the copy and import.
    This is not how you restore a Library. What you’ve done there when you
    drag it into iPhoto
    is have all the pics and versions treated as individual items. There is no way to import a database into another one like this.
    The trick is to copy the Library to the Pictures Folder and then launch iPhoto. That’s it. There’s no importing involved. If you have more than one library then Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'

  • IPhoto started running my slide show in reverse?  Why?  Can I fix it?

    Created a 46 photo slideshow.  After running it a few times I dragged one photo to a new location and now the slide show runs in reverse. Is there a way to control the direction a slideshow runs or to otherwise resolve this problem?  This makes slideshow unreliable hence unusable.  Help.  Thanks!

    I think I have found the answer...
    After  fighting this issue for a few days I went to Apple iphoto tutorial where it shows how to arrange your album as you want it,... and THEN create a "New Slideshow".
    This appears to be a new requirement to me,  as I was previously able to show my albums as slideshows in the proper order from the "ALBUM". I just created a "New Slideshow" - and it works just like the ALBUM did before.

  • 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.
