Autoplay iPhoto movies when playing album as slideshow

I have one album in iPhoto that I share with my Apple TV. It contains photos and videos.
As it is now, when the movies show up in the slideshow it appears as a black screen with a question mark in the middle and I have to press the select button for it to play.
Is there any way for movies to automatically play when they show up?
Thanks

Still looking for clarification if an ATV3 will play movies in Slideshow.
Has anyone been able to get this to work, or someone in Apple Support I could ask?

How do I get iPhoto movies to play?

How can I make movies in Snow Leopard play they way they did in Leopard? (I have Flip4Mac and Perian.) And I know I can drag movies into the dock and into Quicktime to get them to play. But, I'd like to go back to the good ol' days before Snow Leopard when I could play movies in iPhoto with dragging them around

Terence,
I installed QT7 and dragged it into the Dock after dragging QT10 out of the Dock. Movies in iPhoto work they way I want. Thank you.

IPhoto issue when making albums

While trying to make an album with blurb I encountered an issue with iPhoto. While tusing the share function to create an album (Full of the pictures I want to use in the blurb album) it 'quit unexpectedly due to core media plug in'. Do I have to reinstall? I seem to remeber seeing a pop up that told me to do this but it seems very radical. I did export all my pictures to my documents file in finder (I have not yet managed to buy an external hard drive and the one I have for my PC is blocked through bit-locker). Help please (very new mac user still struggling with iphoto!)

I'm not clear on your problem
How does the "share" button enter into this?
Read the user tip on how to access your files in iPhoto for details on the supported way to acdess the photos
If you ae having a crash post the first 100 or so lines of the cash repport here
And when you have the same problem in two or more different applications it is likely that you have a system evel problem

Tracks out of order when playing album through Remote Web Access

When you choose an album (CD if you want) in Remote Web Access and play it, the tracks don't play in the original order. You can drag and drop to reorder them, but you have to know the right order. Is there a way to fix this or is this just a
failing of the Remote Web Access software? Thanks in advance.

I'm having the same issue. Ever find a solution for this?

BB freezes when playing albums--why?

When I try to play an entire album of audio files, my BB freezes when it gets to the end of the first track. The BB has to reset itself.
This doesn't happen when I select individual audio tracks and play them.
Any idea why?

I am having the video stuttering problems with playback of downloaded videos from the iTunes store as well in ver. 7.01. Watching videos with quicktime does not solve the problem. Playback of videos in quicktimeIs this a widespread problem? Has anyone found a solution?

Stop 1 movie when playing another

I have a project with 5 flv files in it. I have buttons to
take the user to whichever clip they would like to hear (they are
audio only, with controllers).
The problem is, once you have started any of the clips
playing, if you click to go to another one, the first one continues
to play at the same time. Is there a simple script to tell whatever
may already be playing to stop before the other one begins?
This is my first Flash project,btw-- I don't know anything!
:)

That's exactly right! You and I, we're both instances of the
Human
class. Each of us shares properties, methods, and events
shared by all
humans. If someone (or something) shouted, "Whoa, duck!" it
would be awful
if every human being ducked. That's why the communication
goes one-on-one.
> What if you were on "kitty" rather than "froggy". It
would seem like some

sense?
I'm proposing that you drag only a single FLVPlayback
instance to your
Stage. Give it an instance name -- let's say videoPlayer
(which is a little
more helpfully descriptive than kitty or froggy -- but same
concept). Now
that this one instance has an instance name, you can invoke
FLVPlayback
class members on it.
In frame 1, for example, you could set its contentPath
property to a
video about frogs.
videoPlayer.contentPath = "frogs.flv";
In frame 2, you could set its contentPath property to a
video about
kittens. There's really no need for more than on instance of
FLVPlayback on
the Stage (though there isn't anything illegal about it,
either). I know
you can set properties on FLVPlayback components (and any
component) in the
Parameters tab, but those parameters are nothing more than
properties. The
available properties depend on what class you're dealing
with.
If you really wanted to use more than one FLVPlayback
instance, you
would give each one its own instance name and use the
relevant instance name
as your object reference prefix. Either which way, you'll
find methods like
pause(), play(), stop(), and others that would make sense for
an object like
this one.
For FLVPlayback, you'll actually have to look in the
Components Language
Reference for ActionScript 2.0. If you're using Flash CS3 and
have access
to Actionscript 3.0, you'll find that even the components are
listed in the
ActionScript Language Reference, which is really helpful.

IPhoto no longer saves Album music

Ever since upgrading yesterday, I can no longer save music in a new album I create.
I only have 8 albums so that shouldn't be too hard.
It will save some of the music for the older albums but when trying to save music to a new album, it reverts back to the first song in the iTunes library after restarting iPhoto.
I have trashed com.apple.iPhoto.plist and restarted the computer.
I even removed the 3 frameworks for the new ProKit update yesterday.
Nothing seems to help.
I believe it is the iPhoto update that is causing this on 2 of my computers.
Everything is up to date as of right now.... iPhoto 7.1.2
Anyone else having this problem?

I've run the 7.1.2 and QT 7.4.1 but don't have that problem. Not familiar with the ProKit but it might be that.
Can you log into another account and see if you can get iPhoto to remember an album's slideshow settings? If you don't have a second account it's not a bad idea to create one, non admin, as it's a very good troubleshooting tool. If it iPhoto does remember the settings in the other account then it may be a preference file, other than iPhoto's, in your primary account that is the culprit. Here's how to verify that:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
If you can't just drag the Preference folder to the desktop w/o copying it here's how to proceed:
Trouble Shooting Preferences in Leopard
1 - Create a folder titled "Preferences A" on the Desktop.
2 - Open the working Preferences folder, HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences, and move the contents to the Preferences A folder on the Desktop.
3 - Make a duplicate copy of the Preferences A folder on the Desktop as a precautionary backup.
4 - With the working Preferences folder empty run the application again and determine if the problems is fixed.
5 - If the problem is fixed:
A - open the working Preferences folder (HD/Users/your_name/Library/Preferences).
B - Open the Preferences A folder on the Desktop, select all of the contents and drag them into the working Preferences folder.
C - When the Copy window pops up check the "Apply to All" check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here.
6 - If the problem is NOT fixed, empty the working Preferencess folder and move the contents of the Preferences folder on the desktop back into it.

IPhoto movies won't work after Snow Leopard update

I recently updated to Snow Leopard an now my iPhoto movies wont' play. Any ideas?

I have contacted autodesk to update my license but this hasn't worked.
Hasn't worked how? I don't know anything about Maya, but a lot of things changed under-the-hood in Snow Leopard, meaning a lot of programs broke. Are you running the most recent version of Maya, and is that version supposed to work on SL?

I made an album in iPhoto and when it plays through the "slideshow", heads are cut off in some of the pictures. How do I fix this?

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.

Iphoto. When I play an album "slideshow" some photos show up as a blank/black screen. Please help if you know what I am doing wrong.

Iphoto Question
When I playing a "slideshow" album, a few photos show up as a blank screen. Also, when I select a photo in an album to make it full screen - some photos won't "hold" - they go full screen for about a second, then the screen goes blank. Any ideas about what I am doing wrong? Thank you.

There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

How to move iphoto albums or slideshows from one computer to another

I have iphoto running both on my desktop ('08 = 7.1.5) and on my laptop ('09 = 8.1.2). The libraries contain a lot of the same images but they are not identical (and I don't want them to be). I create albums or slideshows or books on each of my machines and would like to then transfer them to the other one for keeps - without replacing the albums etc. in that library. How do I do that?
Sorry if this is a dumb question that's been dealt with many times. I couldn't easily find an answer.

You can move albums and their photos between libraries but not books, slideshows, cards, etc. So you will have to recreate those items in the other library.
If you are able to get the library with the books, etc. up to speed as far as having all of the photos from the other library you can then copy that full library to the other computer so you will have the book and other keepsakes in both libraries.
I suggest to create a separate library for the book and copy it between Macs as needed. It will be small enough to make the copying process quicker. You can add additional photos to the book library as needed from either of your other libraries.
This tutorial may be of some help if you decide to go that route: Old Toad's Tutorial #9a - Archiving an iPhoto 7(08)/8(09) Book for Editing and/or Ordering at a Later Date.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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.
NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

TS2972 When playing a photo album from iPhoto on Appletv it will not play the videos

When playing a photo album from Macbook Pro on Apple tv the videos in the album won't play. Is this fixed in settings?

I don't believe that is possible. It may be best to have those videos stored in iTunes if you wish to home-share/airplay them.
