Why can't i create a slideshow anymore?

I have been able to create umpteen slideshows in the past. Now, when I select photos, and try to create a slideshow, nothing happens. Any answers as to why I cannot create a slideshow? I am using an iMac 9,1. The iphoto is 09, version 8.1.2.

Thanks Terence, you are a genius!
I did as suggested. Created a new account, logged in, opened iphotos. No photos! Opened again by pressing alt key and selecting the correct library, and got the message that the photo library was on a locked disc. Did I want it repaired? I clicked yes, and after some considerable time, all the photos miraculously appeared.
I then tried to creat a small slideshow, and it worked. However, I could not access my itunes library from here.
Having seen that the slideshow will work from a different account, I then went back and tried from the original account again. I could not create a new slideshow here. But the slideshow i had created in the other account appeared on my list here. When I tried to play it, however, the computer hung. I could not get out of the slide show, nor could i force quit iphoto. I had to shut down and start all over.
As you say, there must be some problem with the main account.
By the way: when i logged in to the new account, the HD icon appeared on the screen. In my usual account, the HD icon (I think) used to be there, but has somehow disappeared!
Thanks for your valuable help.

  • Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?

    Why can't I create a response to an email from the Viewer window?
    When I select an email to respond to in the viewer window and click on the respond arrow that appears just under the header, a new response email opens for a split second then disappears.
    I have to actually click on and open the email message in its own screen to be able to then click on the respond arrow and succeed in having Mail open a response email that I can edit - one that remains open.
    This seems to be a bug that we need to have squashed.

    Do I have to connect the iPad to a computer to make this work? Is the fact that I used another email address to set up my Apple ID years ago causing the problem? A friend of mine just got a new iPod and he was able to set up a me.com account. I am feeling rather stupid. Hope someone here can help.

  • Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Why can I not create a PDF from a web page on my Adobe Acrobat 8 Pro on my new Windows 8 computer? It worked fine on my windows XP system?

    Acrobat 8 is not compatible with Windows 8,  for the simple reason it was
    created much before it and Adobe could not participate the changes to the
    OS that Microsoft implemented many years later on. You need to buy the
    current version for compatibility.

    Why can't I create a document in my Facebook group on my iPad. It won't let me input any text into the text box field after I create a new document. Thanks.

    Just thought I'd add my solution, I decided to go with WebDAV and I think it actually works better than the iTunes way, the steps are pretty much the same but avoiding the iTunes interface just makes things easier and faster.
    I followed this guide but it does have a small mistake in the httpd-dav.conf file, on line 2, where it's WebServer/WebDAV">, it should be <Directory "/Library/WebServer/WebDAV">.
    The tricky part is setting permissions which if wrong will give you errors when connecting with the iPad, I opted to set all to Read&Write since my home network has a hardware firewall. Another convenience was to add an alias to the webdav share on the Desktop.
    I'm still expecting the call from Apple but even if they fix the iTunes I'm sticking with WebDAV, atleast until I see what's new with iOS5 and iCloud this fall which should bring true sync for documents (I'm hoping that they will offer encryption with my own keys, if not, then I'll probably keep using WebDAV).

  • Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures are deleted!

    Why can't I create a gallery in iPhoto in the normal way who in the past? If I sent the gallery to another the pictures now will be deleted!

    Before anyone can help, they need information to work with. Basic stuff:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. What were you doing when the problem arose?
    - Did it ever work properly?
    - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    Anything else you can think of that might allow someone else to understand your issue.

    My daughter is 11 years ild, soon. Why can't I create i Apple id for her?

    Because a law in the USA requires website operators to obtain parental permission before collecting any personal information from a child under 13, and many have simply chosen not to allow them to sign up.

    FormsCentral can be used from anywhere, but to purchase a subscription you need a credit card with the mailing address in one of the countries supported for purcahse:

    The partner can purchase if they have access to a card in one of those countries.  Alternatively they do not need to purchase a subscription to edit forms that you've created, they do in order to create multiple forms of their own, but by your sharing forms with them at the "Co-author" level they have access to the editing.  Here are the instructions to share a form:

    You are talking about the forward, back, mail and trash can icons in the Notes App - correct?
    I've gone through restarting it and followed the instructions from the person last week.
    Have you restarted the iPad - is that what you mean? Have you quit and then restarted the app? Quit the app, and restart the iPad. It's worth a try.
    Double tap the home button and your recent apps will appear at the bottom. Hold down on the Notes app icon until it begins to wiggle. Then tap the minus sign to quit the app. Then tap the screen. Now restart the iPad.
    Carolyn explained this above (restart) but here it is again....
    Hold down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and slide to shut off. Hold down on the sleep button until the Apple logos appears then let go of the button and the iPad will restart. See if that helps.

  • Why can't I create property nodes for item in STRICT typedef cluster?

    I've tried this in LV7.0/WIN2k and LV 7.1/OSX - both versions work the same.
    I have a TYPEDEF consisting of a cluster of items A, B, and C.
    I have a front-panel instance of this typedef.
    Under certain conditions, I want to disable and gray Item C, because it's not applicable.
    So I need a property node connected to item C.
    If the typedef is STRICT, then I cannot create such a property node - the menu item to create anything is just not there.
    If I change to NON-STRICT, then I can create the property node.
    I can change it back to STRICT, and the property node works just fine.
    The question is, if the nodes WORK normally, why can I not CREATE one?
    If there's some sense behind this, someone please point it out to me...

    Blog for (mostly LabVIEW) programmers: Tips And Tricks

    I agree with you, It would be nice to be able to keep the non strict typedef auto-update and extend it to properities which effect the look of a control. I am not sure why you can change the properities on a strict typedef. A strict typedef should have private properities (can only be changed from within the definition and no public other vi scope for writing these values. I have in the past used a custom control for presentation purposes and contained the structure of the data to be displayed within the typedef cluster. This is not all that automatic since we need vi's to convert between the definition and control. Seperating data structure from presentation is much like XML where the file only contains data structure and a reference to a style for presentation. It would be a very nice option to allow nonstrict typedefs to have an additional auto-update properities which could be toggled on and off. I would be curious to here others opinions on how to keep data structure and presentation consistant across an application without being tied down to a strict typedef (allowing the optional change of teh presentation at runtime).

    Why can't I create view in Analytic Workspace?

    Hi There,
    1) This is the OBIEE forum, by the sounds of your question, which doesnt have much detail, Im guessing you want the OLAP forum for AWM related issues.
    2) Trying to help, I guess your trying to create the AW cube views, what version of AWM are you using ? It was first provided as a plug in but Im pretty sure the latest version of AWM ships with the functionality.
    BTW I'd try posting in here : OLAP

  • Why does PE10 crash creating a slideshow?

    I have created numerous slideshows with many images using the nice Pan&Zoom features. However, PE10 will crash upon creating the output video. This is dependent on the resolution chosen.
    I don't seem to have much trouble with 720x480 DVD output. 800x600 will also work most of the time, but 1024x768 will fail often.
    I have been able to get all modes working by simply saving my project, closing PE10, reopening the app & prj, and then doing the output video creation.
    So it seems there maybe some memory leak bug or something like that. For example, when the 1024x768 mode works, if I move onto more projects & video outputs, eventually PE10 will crash.
    But if I close, and re-open, then all seems to be fine. PE10 wants a clean start.
    PE10 is the first version I've had where Photoshop Elements has crashed numerous times for varied reasons, and yet Premiere Elements seems ultra stable in comparison.
    Sure would love to see an update for both though from Adobe - why is there no update by now?

    The slideshow output process of the Elements Organizer uses Windows Temporary files.  Therefore it is my suspicion that you are reaching some limit on those Temporary files - either the disk space on your hard drive or specific Windows OS limits on Temporary files. 
    Geneeral considerations are
    -- Therefore doing the Windows disk cleanup process for your hard drive might make available more hard drive space for the temporary files needed during the slide show editor output process.
    -- Your reported results that closing Photoshop Elements and restarting again can avoid the problem (for awhile) seems to confirm the possibility of some type of space or temporary files  problem. 
    -- Since your are failing for 1024 x 768, I suspect that you are not actually burning a physical disc. So I think that 99jon's recommendation might need to be modified to say that you create the 1024x768 wmv file from Premiere Elements instead of burning a disc.
    -- If your problem is insufficient hard drive disc space, then I doubt that sending to Premiere Elements for output can solve insufficient space.
    -- If your problem is specifically Temporary files, then using Premiere Elements for output might avoid that problem.  However, I would try a Disk Cleanup first.

  • Why can't I see a slideshow in a Time machine backup ?

    I have created a slideshow which works fine, and shortly afterwards did a weekly backup using Time Machine.
    I then made a small change to the slide show that changed the order (or rather the arrangement) of the pictures in the Sliding Panels themed slideshow. (annoyingly the change happened by simply un-ticking the 'show title slide' setting in slideshow settings). I want to return to the picture/panel arrangement that was in the original version, which happens to be better (I assume the selection is purely random) but when I look at the Backup in Time Machine I cannot see my slideshow, or any slideshow for that matter. So I have two questions:
    1) Does Time Machine backup slideshows ?
    2) If 'yes' how do I see them / restore them ?
    (I have iphoto version 8.1.1 now, but this is because an automatic update has just kicked in. The slideshow was created using the previous version to this)
    Thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use TM to restore individual photos/album or events or the entire library. When you restore the entire library you will get all books, slideshows, calendars, etc. that were there when the backup was made. You can also select to keep your existing library (depending on space available) in case the recovered library doesn't have everything you need.
