Can't get to slideshow module in 1.3

I can't get to slideshow module in 1.3 "an error occurred when attempting to change modules".
I am running Leopard 10.5.1.
Can anyone help?
Dan

I am still hoping that someone else has had this problem and knows a fix.
I have called tech support and I have learned that the only way they know to fix this is for me to create a new user account. If I create a new catalogue in the new user account I can then use Lightroom and the slideshow.
Obviously the hassle of moving everything into a new user account is not something I relish and am still wondering if anyone else has any ideas.

Can't get the nvidia module to work.

Hi,
I just moved a machine from debian to archlinux due to the newer packages. Anyways, since yesterday I have been trying to get the nvidia module to work but haven't had no luck. Basically I get a black screen once I run startx and afterwards I can't switch back to any of the consoles. The system doesn't hang because I can SSH into it from another machine and do whatever. Killing all the x-related processes doesn't recover the screen, only restarting the computer gets the ttys back.
I have tried several different nvidia module versions include 1.0-7664, 1.0-7174 and 1.0-6229. I have also the stock 2.6.11.10 kernel and a custom compiled 2.6.11.11 kernel. If that wasn't enough I have tried the xorg generated xorg.conf file and the hwd generated xorg.conf file. Below is what I am running.
xorg 11R6.8.2-2
eVGA nVidia GeForce FX5200 (The LCD is connected through the regular VGA port)
xorg.conf: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/xorg.conf
Xorg.0.log: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/Xorg.0.log
nvidia-installer.log: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/nvidia-installer.log
`hwd -s` output: http://68.190.122.245:9696/temp/hwd_s.txt
Any help is really appreciated!

Nice to see logs and confs posted
just to be sure we are singing from the same hymnbook, have you:
-- followed the wiki info as your logs show the DRI section still intact (bottom of xorg.conf)
and from wiki,
-- installed nvidia via pacman, with X server shut down. and then modified xorg.conf accordingly.
# Auto-generated by Archie mkxcfg
? Archie ?
-- following the kernel upgrade did you then run pacman -S nvidia, as above, to incorporate it with the new kernel ?
other tidbits
maybe try backing up xorg.conf first and then removing redundant lines #'s etc to make your config file more readable, and 1, 4, 15 bit resolution entries too.
The last time i had the blackscreen was in Fedora, it was mentioned that a kernel patch by fedora, was fouling the nvidia drivers. So i blamed fedora, chipsets, patches, drivers, witchcraft etc. Swapped to arch , followed the WIKI destructions and all worked ok. so im sure it can be solved here too.
FWIW my xorg.conf can be found here if you want something to refer to. in the interests of jurisprudence, copy/modify at your own risk. i cant/wont pay for fried monitors
incidentally nv in the Section did work for me instead of nvidia but was no real solution as i wanted to use GL and it wouldnt work with it, just runs a generic vga driver and not the nvidia one.
persevere dude, and good luck.

Since updating to Mavericks I can't get a slideshow to work. Any suggestions?

Since updating to Mavericks I can't get slideshow to work - any suggestions?

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Why Can't I get the slideshow to work in iWeb?

I recently created and purchased a photo book successfully. I made a pdf of the book and saved it to iPhoto. I can't get the slideshow to work. Keeps telling me to drag photos somewhere, but they are already posted. If I click I can get to the spot where you can move to the next one—but no slideshow!
I have watched the slideshow(2x's) that is listed in this topic. I thought I was doing as it said—but no luck.
Anyone with ideas??

Patti:
Read Steps 1-5 of Tutorial #6a at Old Toad's Tutorials for a way to get a book's pages into iPhoto as jpg files which can then be used to create an iWeb slideshow like I've done here.
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) 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.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 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: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can't get slideshow to.. well.. show

I just got my ipod and I have uploaded some pics.. I can view them, but I can't get the slideshow to play when I put the music on.
I have the music set on shuffle.... does that matter?
(I have the slideshow setting on 'now playing')
Any hints on how to get my pics to show up would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks!

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.

Lightroom 4 crashes when trying to open the slideshow module. I spent over three hours with both Adobe and Apple tech support and we know it is a permission issue but have not been able to get it solved. It started with the last upgrade to 10.8

Back up all data.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -Rh $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
The first step should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
resetpassword
That's one word, all lower case, with no spaces. Then press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Can't Get Music to Play in LR2 Slideshow

I cannot get LR2 to play songs from my playlist in iTunes on my Mac. I've read through the threads on this forum, refreshed the list on LR's slideshow section, tried repairing permissions, created new playlists in iTunes-- still no success. Does it matter that the songs are ACC files? (I'd think that that is correct for a Mac, but am I overlooking something?)
Maybe my iTunes selection isn't local enough for LR2. As an example, I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a. Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
Any help would be appreciated!

Does it matter that the songs are ACC files?
You mean aac? No those play fine on my machine, as well as mp3 files. AFAICT it will work for any format that iTunes can play, even protected files.
I have one of the selected songs under Mac HD:Users:Me:Music:iTunes:iTunes Music:Marc Shaiman:The American President:End Title.m4a. Should it be placed elsewhere to make LR "see" the selection?
The iTunes folder should be in the default location (which yours appears to be, apart from the non-standard drive name) for Lightroom to see the playlists. But the most important thing is extremely simple. iTunes has to already be running. Lightroom as of version 2 somewhere simply sends a play command to iTunes. This allows you to play anything in your iTunes Library now, even protected files bought from the iTunes store before they went completely DRM free. Sometimes I've noticed that you need to have already played the starting song for a little in iTunes before it will work correctly.
Now, I have to say that Lightroom's slideshow module is really quite useless. I usually just export jpegs and run a slideshow in iPhoto or Aperture. Far higher quality (Lightroom's slideshow is always quite fuzzy, no matter what kind of preview you generated), better iTunes support, and far more versatile in general.

Can't access SLIDESHOW module.

When attempting to access the SLIDESHOW module I get the error message "an error occurred when attempting to change modules. This occurrs when using either the main task bar at the very top of the page under "WINDOW" or the horizontal list of modules near the top right of the page.

This could be due to a corrupt Preference File. This file can go "funny" and is then responsible for all kinds of strange behavior of Lr. The remedy is replacing the Preference File.
BTW: Re-installing Lr does not replace the Pref. File since it is designed to "survive" upgrades.

Slideshow Module: Slideshow getting stuck, won't auto-advance

We use Lightroom 4.3 in our studio to show our work to clients. One of our slideshows is based on a smart collection of all 5-star rated images. Before a client comes in, we'll click on the smart collection to load the images, go to the Slideshow module and use a preset we've created that has our desired background color, fade time, etc. and hit "play".
Recently this particular combination is not working properly. After a random number of images, the slideshow simply stops advancing and appears to be "stuck". If I hit the right arrow key on the keyboard to advance to the next image, nothing happens. However, if I hit the right arrow key twice, skipping the next image and going to a second image, the slideshow will continue. It will then get stuck again after a few slides. The only thing that I can figure is that by hitting the arrow key twice, I'm skipping a "bad" image that doesn't want to load. I can't tell what image that might be. The images that are held up on the screen seem to be different each time, because we are playing the slides in a random order.
Is there a way that I can figure out if there are some kind of "problem" images that cause the slideshow to hang? Has anyone else had this problem? Or does anyone have a different theory (other than the "bad" image theory) of what might be going on here?
Updating from 4.2 to 4.3 did not solve the problem.
Optimizing the catalog did not solve the problem.
Using a different slideshow preset does not solve the problem.
Using a different set of images DOES prevent the problem from occurring, but of course, I need to show these images. (Ex: a different smart collection that doesn't contain all the same images.)
OS: Windows Vista
Images: combination of CR2 raw, PSD, and jpeg
No error message. Slideshow simply gets stuck.
No recent changes to computer or software that I am aware of.
I just had a thought. I am going to go play the slides NOT in random order and see if I can find any pattern. In the meantime, any help is greatly appreciated.

Okay, I answered my own question. My thought about unchecking "Random Order" and then playing the slides quickly showed me the problem files. There were a handful of files that had a black circle with an exclamation point in them. This circle was where the question mark normally goes if LR can't find a file. When I clicked on the exclamation point, it said LR could not access the file, or something like that. I simply changed the rating on those images from 5 stars down to 4, which effectively removed them from my smart collection without having to delete them from my catalog. At some point, I'll go back and figure out what the problem was with those files, but at least my slideshow is back up and running!
The funny thing is that I've been google searching this problem for weeks with no results. Then I finally post in the forum and while typing the question, I figure out my own answer. Go figure. But I thought I'd post this up in case someone else has this issue, because there's NOTHING about this anywhere else I could find. :-)

Cdemu - can't get it to work (can't connect do dbus, no cdemu module)

Hi all! As the topic subject says, I can't get cdemu to work.
I'm trying to use it to mount some .mdf images (wanna play Diablo 2 again, and I really don't wanna use the CDs for this).
So here goes. First I tried mounting the .mdf image with cdemu, like this...
cdemu load 0 01.Install.mdf
I get an error message:
ERROR: Failed to connect to CDEmu daemon: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name net.sf.cdemu.CDEMUD_Daemon was not provided by any .service files
ERROR: Failed to connect to daemon (bus: 'session')!
So I found somewhere that I should compile the cdemu-daemon and cdemu-client...
yaourt -Sb --noconfirm cdemu-daemon cdemu-client
now, cdemu-daemon compiles fine, but cdemu-client doesn't seem to compile. what I get as an error is this:
Byte-compiling python modules...
__init__.pycdemu.py File "/usr/lib/python3.1/site-packages/cdemu/cdemu.py", line 128
except dbus.DBusException, e:
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
The full output is in the pastebin.
So anyway, cdemu client installs (althought the success of this is obviously questionable at best), and when I try mounting an image, I (probably as expected) get this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/cdemu", line 23, in <module>
import cdemu, cdemu.cdemu
ImportError: No module named cdemu
A little more digging revealed that cdemu-client is still compiled against python2 rather than python3, so that would probably be the reason why my compile fails.
I would be very grateful if someone could tell me how to get this thing to work. And if I can help compiling this package properly, please do tell me how.
Thanks in advance!

Third: Do you have vhba-module installed and is it added to modules array?
Yes and yes.

Can't get slideshow to work on mac

I don't know what I'm doing wrong, but I cannot get the
Slideshow command to work on my iMac. It goes through all the
things needed to make it work - exactly the same as the PC - but
when you expect to see a preview of each picture while setting it
up, it says it can't find the file. If you click the 'Create'
button it goes through its paces, showing the percentage completed,
but when you try to open it in the browser, it hasn't written
anything to the folder (in fact it doesn't seem to have written
anything anywhere, no index file, no xml file, no nothing!!!
Help!!

I have no problem remembering where the album was saved...
apparently FW has problems finding it.
I think I have the problem solved - at least this one (I seem
to be having another one with saving to SPRY/HTML format).
I got the clue from another post. Apparently FW doesn't like
folder names with spaces and my site was buried pretty deep in the
directory structure. I copied the site to a location just under the
root of the drive and made sure there were no spaces in the folder
names so now it only has to look for DRV:/mywebsite/images and then
I export the gallery to DRV:/mywebsite/photo_gallery.
All the flash galleries seem to work fine but I'd like to
look at the SPRY/HTML gallery before I make a final decision which
to go with.
Al for FW defaulting to it's orignal program directory
everytime I go to look for an album I simply find it annoying...
thanks h,

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How can I get my comments imported along with the pictures?

I brought in a slideshow but photos didn't include comments. How do I get my comments?

First make sure you've added the comments you want to show in the Add a Description field in iPhoto or in the Title field. If you put them in the Title field and you envoke the feature in iDVD you won't have to delete the title from each slide to give you just the desciption. Or batch remove the Titles from all the photos before you add them to the iDVD project. You can allways get them back with the Photos ➙ Batfch Change menu option later on.
Click on the cog wheel menu button at the bottom and select Show titles and comments checkbox.

How can I get a module created in Captivate 4 to start on slide 2 when launched?

Hello
Wanted to ask why do you have that first slide then? Just tried this:
create and Advanced action with one statement: Jump to slide 2
attach this action to the even Enter slide for the first slide
You may see very quickly that first slide when playing. To avoid that (but it depends on the content of that first slide) you could cover up the beginning of that slide for a very short time with a white rectangle.
