Can't exit slideshow

Hi I have 51,000 photos in Iphoto 09. When I click on an album and hit "slideshow" it will begin to display my photos but when I try click on a photo on the small thumbnail bar at the bottom it won't display that picture.
The Slideshow will continue but nothing will be clickable and I won't be able to exit the slideshow. I have to force a shutdown of my computer. Sometimes the popup appears asking me what type of Slideshow that I would like to display.
Once that appears, the thumbnails on the bottom bar will be clickable and I can then exit the slideshow. Most of the time this doesn't happen though. I'm afraid to use the slideshow feature for this reason.
I have repaired permissions, rebuilt my Iphoto library, and deleted the Iphoto preference but this issue remains. I've had this issue with Leopard 10.5.8 before I upgraded to Snow Leopard as well. Could it be from having a large library? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Also if anyone who has a large library could comment weather or not they have this issue as well would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks guys

How big is your HD? How much free space on It?
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 can't exit slideshow.

    I can't exit slideshow. The pinwheel just keeps spinning and I can't activate anything else (photos, events, etc.) I've tried restarting iPhoto, restarting my computer, and still, every time I reopen iPhoto it goes back into the same slideshow. I have version iPhoto version 9.5.1 on an iMac iOS 10.9.3.

    If the next slideshow does the same thing you may have a damaged library which usually can be fixed by the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
    Give it a try if it happens again.

  • Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 in Adobe RGB color space?

    Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 (not export out from LR) in Adobe RGB color space provided that you are using a wide gamut monitor which is capable and hardware calibrated & profiled to show such color space?
    If this is possible, what is required to do so in Windows 8 and i7-4770 & HD Graphics 4600 platform or does LR take care of it automatically?
    This is very basic question, however, I could not find a clear answer/info from LR documentation, so wish that someone can advice.

    Those settings are probably stored in a plist somewhere in ~/Library/Preferences. If you can locate the appropriate file, you should be able to copy it to all the network user folders.

  • How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

    (Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.)  How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?  (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB;  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast.  When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported.  At future events soon,  I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
    Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD.  It only can export a video of your slideshow.
    In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
    Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
    Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
    How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

  • Can't get slideshow to work!

    Sorry about yet another basic question, but I can't get slideshow to work.
    I have created a My Photos page template, dragged an Album into it. That looks OK, but when I click on play slideshow, nothing happens.
    Enable Slideshow is ticked in Inspector.
    Any help on this?

    What's the URL of your site so we can examine it first hand? How are you uploading the files? Maybe not all files are getting to the server. Wouldn't be the first time that happened.

    Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

    I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.

  • Can't exit bootloader configuration file

    I don't get any options below the file. I tried ctrl + x then y and basically any key combination but nothing happens, I can't exit the file and go on with my installation. Except ctrl + z exits the installation.

    You probably mean you can't exit the editor and that makes me guess you are in vi because you didn't take the 'set editor' step seriously. See the relevant wiki section (and follow the link for vi in case you end up in this situation again).
    And try to give a more complete problem description next time (or if my guess about this problem is incorrect).

    When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • Can you send slideshows as an email attachment?

    can you send slideshows as an email attachment? Please provide the steps if it is possible, thank you

    Yes, but you shouldn't.
    Here's how.
    Export the Slideshow to the FInder - a process that will make a QuickTime movie of it.
    Attach that movie to the email. Send
    Why not? Videos are very large files. Most Internet providers have a limit on the largest file you can send. Sending one too large means it can bounce back to you. ALso, even if the other person can receive it, downloading large files via email is slow, and can even cause crashes on some email apps on older systems.
    Intead of emailing it, upload it to DropBox, YouTube, Vimeo, or any other sharing site and send the person a link.
    Then they can download it themselves

  • I can't exit Mini Player in iTunes 11

    It's simple really. I can enter Mini Player using Ctrl+Shift+M but then I can't exit it. I can bypass it by pressing "Go to *artist*" but it still doesn't close.

    I am having the same problem that the person who started the thread is having. iTunes 11 is horribly broken on many levels. I recommend uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes 10 until they figure out what they are doing. @Barrie Newcombe - I'm sure many people run the software without this particular problem. I don't think Apple would release software that never worked for anybody. Those of us who are experiencing the problem are looking for information regarding the problem we are experiencing.

  • Can`t exit from the app corner mode in windows phone 10 technical preview at Nokia Lumia 520

    After upgrading to windows phone 10, I just face several bugs as expected, including screen unlock bug. I just try app corner feature on my phone. That`s led to a big mistake. I can`t exit from the app corner mode. While pressing the power off
    button and swap right, nothing happens. (In lock screen, it doesn`t show that swap right to exist. I think this problem also related to locks screen bug.  Even I try  to remove the battery. But, still I struck at app corner. Please

    Very very disappointed. Sorry about windows phone. I have argued quit a lot with friends. Trying to convince them that WP are extremely good and nice to work with. Unfortunately they keep telling me about the poor apps of WP. Unfortunately I can now start seeing the problem. Guess what, I wasconsidering of buying my father a WP. Guess what. I will probably stick to android. Badly played about that. Farewell. Disappointed 7.8 WP customer from Athens Greece.
