Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

  • Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6?

    Where is the Shuffle slide order button in iPhoto 6? - I don't see one...
    Click Settings at the top of the Slideshow dialog to set one or more of the following options:
    ** where is this button? ****---> Select "Shuffle slide order" to play slides in random order.

    Rev:
    In iPhoto 6 there is no Shuffle option in the slideshow mode. However, if you select an album or a number of photos in the library and use the Play button in the toolbar at the bottom there will be a Shuffle option in the Settings window. That's the only place you'll be able to shuffle the slides.
    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.

  • Why Am I NOT Allowed to Shuffle Slide Order?

    I too just tried to shuffle all the photos in a new slidehsow and the "Shuffle Slide Order" is grayed out and does NOT allow me to select this very, very important option!!!
    What's up w/That???

    The only way to shuffle the slide order is to create the slideshow from an album, i.e. click on an album and then on the Play arrow at the bottom.  When the slideshow begins you can bring up the settings window.

  • Why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    I don't know how to block the other wireless access points to show on the list, but from what you said, you want to let it connect to one of your preferred network whenever one is available, connect it automatically.
    before you change anything, let run the following command in Terminal to show your Mac current settings:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort en1 prefs
    copy what it returned.
    mine returned:
    AirPort preferences for en1:
    DisconnectOnLogout=NO
    JoinMode=Preferred
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    RequireAdminIBSS=NO
    RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
    RequireAdminPowerToggle=YES
    WoWEnabled=NO
    That's the default behaviour of OS X, we don't care for what reason it was changed on your Mac. Lets reset it.
    in Terminal, run the following command:
    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/air port en1 prefs JoinMode=Preferred JoinModeFallback=Prompt RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    it may ask you to put admin password, and do so, press enter to continue.
    Explain a little bit.
    The JoinMode=Preferred means, it will connect your preferred network when it's available.
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt: if no preferred network around, it will prompt you to choose. if you want you can select other options:
         JoinOpen
         KeepLooking
         DoNothing
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES: it will remember whatever network it joined before, put it in your preferred network. If you want, set it to No.
    you can get the details of airport command by run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort
    Hope this help.

  • Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

    Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

    I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3

  • Why can't BT ever get an order right?

    Why can’t BT ever get an order right?
    I placed an order for a telephone and broadband package last week on the 15th with an install date of Friday 25/10/13. I paid my line rental up front and got an email with the order details stating I should get another confirmation email within 5 days.
    6 days later surprise, surprise no email. So I ring the number to call on the email and get through to Robo-BT the talking twit. It asks me to explain my problem  and will then put me through to the right department which of course it doesn’t because it doesn’t understand human. 20 minutes later with only two disconnects I finally get through to a human and begin the BT Shunt between departments; three in total only taking 25 more minutes. I then get told the order is stuck somewhere in one of BT’s systems and needs to be cancelled and restarted because unlike any other company on the planet BT can’t just fix something or move the order along or manually progress it, they have to pick the worst possible solution to a problem! So they cancel the order and tell me I will be refunded the month I have already been paid (Which I haven’t as yet!)
    After going through all the order details again (which were in front of the advisor on the old order!) and repeatedly telling her no when she kept trying to hard sell extras I didn’t want, we finally got to the appointment stage and I was then told… “Good news! We can have an engineer out on the 22nd of November!” I replied: “WHAT?!?!?! That’s over a month away and my first appointment was for this Friday? Why can’t you get an appointment before then?” she said “The engineers must be busy!” She said you can still use your BT ID to log on to BT Wi-Fi to get internet access in the meantime. So I said yeah whatever but I couldn’t make the 22 so said to make it for the 28th of November.
    Once the email came through confirming the order again I noticed the BT Internet email hadn’t been setup and therefore I can’t even get in to BT Wi-Fi to see if it works! So to sum up:
    I’ve paid out £141.00 for a service BT has cancelled and not refunded!
    I have to wait 6 and a half weeks before I can get a phone line!!! Surely that’s in breach of the SLA’s and I should be entitled to some form of compensation or the appointment being rebooked for Friday again?
    I’ve got no BT Email and can’t access BT Wi-Fi which may or may not provide some form of internet service. I’m not counting on anything good from looking at the thousands of bad reviews and poor rates it’s got on the Google Play Store!

    It may be because of your settings. You can modify that setting in System Preferences > Trackpad. Another way of making right-click is to click the app icon while holding the Control key

  • Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain active ?

    Why can't I get the slider on the right side to remain "active" ?
    I'm using iTunes 11.4 on a Mac Pro with OS 10.9.5
    In good old iTunes 10.7  there was a slider on the right side that you can move up and down to locate songs.   That same slider is there, (but much smaller), with iTunes 11.4, but it seems to deactivate itself for reasons I do not understand.
    I have found that when I go to the lower right corner and resize the iTunes window the slider will appear briefly.   If I don't act very fast, that slider vanishes and I cannot scroll up and down.
    Thanks !!

  • Why can't I select a Music Source - iPhoto 9.1.3?

    I can't stand that awful jazzy piano accompaniment when I start a slideshow, but every time I try to change the music, ie here:
    ...I click on the arrows where it says "Source" & nothing happens. I've tried trashing the pref file, but it still resolutely refuses to show anything at all. I deselected "Play music during slideshow" because that jazzy piano was doing my head in!! Why can't I select some other music source?

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/  Library/Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot and launch iPhoto to try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    If that doesn't help try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same folder as the iPhoto preference file.
