Album title shows and Music plays, but photos will not play in slideshow

iPhoto 8 latest version
Macbook Pro
10.6.8
i'm working on a clients computer and he is having issues when he selects images within an album anywhere between 3-10 photos. Clicking on Slideshow button to start it. It will come up with the full black screen with slideshow settings - hitting play will start the music and show the album name..after that its a blank screen; none of the photos are coming up.
I tried selecting other images in another album and same issue.
I closed iPhoto and removed com.apple.iphoto.plist to the desktop and restarted iphoto with no change.
The only other thing I can think of is rebuilding the library. but I do not see any issues with the images within the album.
My client said that he noticed this after his son-in-law attached his iPad to the machine. But nothing was changed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos? Do you see this in the window?

As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Does the track play correctly in Quicktime Player? If it does then it is an iTunes issue. If it doesn't then it is possible the file was not completely downloaded, or is corrupt.

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play, how do I get it back?

I have a song that shows in the playlist but suddenly will not play. Itunes thinks that last time it was played was the time it "shorted" out and did not play. How do I get it back? Thanks.

Try deleting the entries from the Movies part of your library (i.e. where you are trying to play them) and see if you get the cloud symbol next to them for re-downloading in the Purchased link
As your screenshot shows your account id I've asked the hosts to remove it

HT203167 I just recently purchased an album on itunes and two of the songs will not play...what could be wrong?

Just purchased "of monsters and men" album and two of the songs do not play and they just skip to the next track. It shows that all songs for the album successfully downloaded....what could be wrong?!!

If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

HT1390 I rented a movie and hit play, but it will not play? It expires in 23 hours? What do I need to do to play it?

I created a iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DVD RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

I created an iMovie with photos, music and titles; shared it with the media browser and burned it on a DV+RDL. The disc will play on my MacBook Pro, but it will not play on my Samsung Blu-ray Disc Player or a smaller portable DVD player. Why?

Probably because they don't accept that media.
Try using Verbatim DVD+DL (if your project exceeds 2 hours) or Verbatim DVD-R if it doesn't.

TS1424 i downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,tracks stop half way through and skip to the next one. what can i do???

I downloaded an album from i tunes, but it will not play back correctly,
it starts a track and then stops randomly and jumps to the next track
and then does the same thing ad ainfinitum! What to do??

Other people have been having similar problems with songs over the last few days, I assume that there has been a problem with Apple's servers.
Depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting those tracks from your iTunes library and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes : re-downloading.
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download music or if they re-download in the same state then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via Store > View My Account and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that album and use the 'Report a Problem' link.

I transferred photos from my camera to my computer and created a burn folder. I recorded the burn folder on a DVD but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

I transferred photos from my camera to burn folder on my macbook Pro. Made a DVD from the burn folder but it will not play on my DVD player. What am I doing wrong?

How did you do this burn? Did you use a program like iDVD? A DVD player requires that the data on the DVD is recorded in the proper format: MPEG-2. A program like iDVD will do this. There are other programs available that can do the proper coding (Roxio 'Toast' for example), but iDVD has the most features and is easy to use. It is no longer available from Apple, but if you search on Amazon, you can find 'iLife 11', a suite of programs including iDVD. It will function properly on Apple's current operating system, but it cannot make a High-Definition (Blue-Ray) presentation. It is Standard Definition only, as are all regular DVD's. One good way to present photos on a TV is to make a slidesow in iPhoto, then export that slideshow to iDVD, where it will be properly formatted for a DVD player. Or, iDVD can make its own slideshow of up to 99 photos. HTH.

My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not. Current software on Mac and iPod.

My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes. This is a recent problem. The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched. An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync. I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes. HELP! J

First try to resolve #2 by:
See
iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
- I would start with
Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
or
Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
- New cable and different USB port
- Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
- Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

Music purchased from itunes will not play on nano. shows up, but skips ove

Help, all purchased music from itunes store will not play on nano, it appears but then skips to the next song.

Hi there
Welcome to Discussions
It seems that you've posted your question in the wrong forum. This is the intel-based iMac forum. You will get a better answer if you post your question in the appropriate forum:
iPod nano forum:
http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=154
I don't know what generation of nano that you have, but I know that if you have a colored nano (blue, green, pink, silver or matte black), you'll want to post in the "2nd Generation" category. Otherwise (either white or black front and silver back) you'll want to post in the "1st Generation" category.

I can understand this with videos you are streaming, i.e. maybe you have a slow data connection.
Videos on your phone should not do this. Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

I purchases a cd on iTunes and one of the songs shows that it is downloaded but it will not play. The rest of the songs play but this one song doesn't and it looks like it is downloaded completely. What do I do?

Delete and redownload it if doing so is free in your country.

I am new to iTunes. I have downloaded the player onto my PC. I bought a documentary, but it will not play. On the player the screen is just black (also no sound), but the timer works and shows that something is happening. Any suggestions?

Hi there Graham!
I have a couple of articles that can help you troubleshoot this issue. First, if you are downloading HD content, you will need to know the system requirements for HD playback, which can be found here:
iTunes: Purchasing and viewing HD videos
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3209
Next, you will want to check your video playback settings on your Windows machine. The steps for that can be found right here:
Troubleshooting iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7 video playback performance issues
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1718
Hope that helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden
