Can't manually advance a slideshow created in iPhoto

Hello,
I'm a new mac user and this my first entry, so bear with me.....I created a slideshow in iPhoto of about 300 photos and 3 postcards. I did not add music because I want to be able to advance the slideshow manually (it it true that you can not use manual controls with music?). I then sent the slideshow to iDVD. Using magic dvd to create the slideshow with settings at Professional Quality encoding and Single-Layer DVD. Next I wrote the project to a disk image to test it.
Firstly, the quality of the pictures is much worse when I view the slideshow on my mac with the dvd player than they are in iPhoto when I view the slideshow. Also, I can not forward or reverse the slides - it goes back to the beginning. All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control. Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Thanks for your help!

All I want to do is send my family the pictures for them to be able to see them on most dvds and use manually control.
If you want set top DVD player playback, I suggest you create a a series of slideshows IN iDVD that each contain a MAXIMUM of 99 images. Do not create the slideshow in iPhoto or iMovie.
Is there an easier way to do this, bypassing iDVD?
Some DVD players will play a disc containing jpeg images

How can i burn a dvd of a slideshow created in iPhoto, how can i burn a dvd of a slideshow created in iPhoto

how can i burn a dvd of a slideshow created in iPhoto, how can i burn a dvd of a slideshow created in iPhoto. will not burn

Do you mean a slideshow in iPhoto '11 on your Mac?
And do you want to create a video DVD to play in a DVD player? This cannot be done completely in iPhoto, see this User Tip:

and also Old Toad's post here:
Re: iPhotos to dvd...best way to burn them?

Email a slideshow created on IPhoto

How can I email a slideshow created on IPhoto to a contact who may have a PC?

Export the slideshow - that makes a movie of it, but I wouldn't email it. Simply, sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing.
Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

Can you manually advance a Captivate slide presentation with a remote control and a projector.

I have published a large volument of PowerPoint presentations with Captivate 5.0 and intend to distribute the presentations to live instructors as a means to control content delivered live by instructors to the students. The files are aggregrated into groups of lessons and published to PDF with a Table of Contents.
We need to avoid manually advancing the show from the laptop.
Having difficulty determining how to use remote control via laptop and projector to advance the next slide or presentation. Can't get it to work. Was able to do so previously with PowerPoint slides converted to PDF shows. Remotes/Laser pointers worked fine. But now that I have processed the shows through Captivate 5.0 can seem to find a remote that will work with the new PDF or SWF with our systems.
We use a laptop and projection system, so need to be able to advance the show to the next "slide" manually and are trying to figure out how to do it with a remote control.
Has anyone else experienced this challenge and did you find a solution?.

Hi Carey,
if you can apply the letter "A" for "next" to your remote control?
Then you could add a shortcut to your buttons in the captivate file.
In deapth:
Go to a PPT importet slide (using the "click mouse" option to continue".
Click somewhere in the screen (clickbox_xx will be selected).
Properties - Action - Shortcut. Click it and press "A".
Click somewhere on the stage.
Now when you press your next button on the remote, Captivate will receive an "A" and continue to the next slide.
Hope this helps
Best

Slideshow created with iphoto will not burn with idvd

I cannot seem to burn dvd using idvd. slideshow created with iphoto

I'm having the same problem after upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3. Read below:
Until recently I was running 10.1.5 using iphoto 2 to burn folders of photos within a library. After upgrading to 10.3.9 and iphoto 4.0.3 I get a message: “The burn to the ARCHOS MiniCDRW XS8432 drive failed. The device failed to respond properly, unable to recover or retry.”
Actually, I got another message before I installed patchburn 3.1.2. After installing patchburn 3.1.2 for 10.3.X, system profiler recognized my burner and says it is supported but the above message is displayed after the program has stopped the process.
Toast Titanium 5.2.1 burns CD’s just fine but when a CD with an iphoto library is inserted into the CD-ROM the iphoto program will not recognize it. In other words, it won’t show up in iphoto as an iphoto library or anything for that matter. Maybe there’s a way to do this in Toast or maybe I need something else to make iphoto work with my burner.
Can anybody help me? Thanks!

Exporting a slideshow created on iPhoto onto memory stick

I am trying to export a 10 minute slideshow that i have created on iPhoto.
I am trying to put this onto a memory stick as it is being projected onto a wall in a performance i am doing.
At the moment it is telling me that there is not enough room on my memory stick, altough there is a lot of free space so does this mean the slideshow has to be compressed?
Also i am exporting it onto my desktop and its taking a really long time is this normal?

See, A ten minute long slide show with effects is like a huge 500MB file if you are exporting it in the the largest or all screen sizes available... so it takes like 15-20 minutes to export it and IT IS NORMAL. When it comes to exporting to Thumb drive... It is recommended for you to export it first to Macintosh SSD/HDD ( This will make the xport faster too ) and then you can transfer it to thumb drive.

Slideshow created in Iphoto no titles on ATV

I love that the slideshows that I create in IPhoto sync to the Apple TV however, I cannot seem to get my photo titles to display! I have set the aspect ratio to each of the three options in IPhoto with no positive result. My TV is a Widescreen 720P HD TV. I have Apple TV set on 720P Widescreen. Anyone have any ideas?

Sorry, that would be the titles of the individual photos.

How can I put a slideshow created in Iphoto, out to my digital camera??

I am using Tiger, and Ilife 6.
I made a slideshow in Iphoto from some postcards I scanned. I want to use those snaps in a movie I am creating on a stand alone editing unit (not on the MAC) Is there anyway I can put this slideshow (with the snaps I want to use in a movie) back into my video camera and not out to a DVD. This way I would have them on tape and could then put the contents of the tape into my stand alone unit to add to my movie I am creating there. I use a Prestige to do my editing of video, not Imovie.
Before upgrading to Ilife 6 there was an option to do this I no longer can find an option. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
Stella

Hello all those who took the time to help me with my problem. Thank you all. Yes I do have the option of sending it back to my camera I have found again since I went into iMovie.
My problem was I did the slide show in Iphoto because I wanted to use the Burns effect and the only option was to put it into iDVD (not iMovie) from there.
By putting the shots in iMovie I can send it back to my camera BUT cannot use the Burns effect so I am left with the black side on each side of the picture in the postcard. Guess you can't have everything.
THanks again you have all been very patient and helpful.
Stella
P.S.
re: It's in iMovie HD 7 that the Share menu appeared. .......No, it's in 6.0.3 on mine but only in iMovie not in the iDVD where I was trying to work.

How do I use the same photo twice in a slideshow created in iPhoto'11?

I created a slideshow in iPhoto'11 and would like to use the first slide also as the last slide.
How can I use the same photo twice?

Seems you have to duplicate the photo in your Library to add the same picture twice.

Slideshow Created in iPhoto 6; Need to Show on Laptop with iPhoto 5!

I created a long (200+ pix) slideshow on my iMac, which has iPhoto 6. I have now copied the entire iPhoto library and moved it over to my son's iBook, from which I plan to play the slideshow (via projector) at a party tomorrow night. Alas, the iBook has iPhoto 5 installed, and I can't open the moved library.
What are my options here? I don't have a lot of time here. If I upgrade the laptop to iLife '08, will it be able to read the iPhoto '06 slideshow? Any other options, with note to the fact that I am really short on time to devote to this. Thanks.

How can I save a card I created in iphoto to print as a photo?

I created some collages a few years ago and was able to save them to print as a large photos at the photo shop. I would like to do the same with a card I created but can't seem to do it so it saves a jpeg that is big enough. Can anyone help?
Thanks so much!

How high is up?
That obviously depends on the shop you take it to - you need to contact them for their requirements and capabilities.

I have two questions. How do I burn a DVD from a slideshow created in IPhoto without using IDVD which is no longer available?!! And is there any way to control the automatic zooming in my slideshow?

I know IMac messed up by no longer offering IDVD OR ILIFE on their new computers. Yes I too am mad I spent the money. But does anyone have a solution on how to work with the limited programs I did get? Or what programs do you suggest I purchase to be able to do something as simple as burn a slidewshow on a DVD!!!! I already purchases Xilisoft DVD which does not allow for photos only videos. I want to use both! I have had my new mac less than a year. Can I still return it?

If you contact Apple at
U.S. iPod, Mac and iPad technical support:
(800) APL-CARE (800-275-2273)
You should be able to get a copy of the original DVDs for a nominal charge.

Manual Advance

Using Elements 5. Created slide show. Want to advance slides manually rather than with an established dissolve speed. Where/how is this done in this version? Thanks in advance.

Hi peedeeman - In PSE 5.0, manual advancing of slideshow items is not possible.

Manual advance of playlist possible ??

hi. I'm running iTunes on my IBM ThinkPad. Even though it is a great piece of software, there is still one thing missing !!! How can I manually advance the playlist ??? (I don't want the software to do that when the track is finished.)
Greetings from the city of Kawasaki, Kanagawa prefecture, Japan
IBM ThinkPad Windows XP Pro

one thing you could try is unchecking all the checkboxes to the left of the tracks in the playlist. (a quick way would be to open the playlist, select all the tracks, hold down the Ctrl key, and click one of the boxes.)
the songs in the playlist would play one at a time, then.
