Can't set photo duration I want in iMovie

I have inserted a load of photos at the end of a video and I can't set the duration. If i input 0.10sec it jumps down to 0.05sec. Also if I am dragging the yellow handle in the project window and want to set a time of 0.50sec the timing goes straight from 0.29sec to 1.00sec. I have no transitions in the video or beat markers.
Any ideas?
Thanks

30 frames = 1 sec of video (NTSC)
the digits behind the . are not tenths but frames ...

Can you set the Duration of a Transition to instant? Or Remove a previous?

Can you set the duration of a Transition to instant? (Rotate and Translate).
Or if not, remove a previous transition done? (Reset the transitioned object back to its original). Ihave tried setting Duration.millus(.000001), but I can still see it translate/rotate. if I set it to zero, it doesn't do anything at all.
Goal:
I have a Connect4 type grid that Flips. It rotates upside down 180degrees, the pieces 'fall' down. Then I ACTUALLY flip the game board (not just effects) using a matrix calculation. But since my grid is upside down, my pieces appear upside down.
So here is the method I was thinking:
-Flip the board upside down
-Translate the pieces down (gravity)
-Actually flip the game board's internals and positions.
-Undo the previous rotate/translate so the user thinks the 'animation' actually flipped the board.

You cannot create an instant Transition. An Animation with a duration of 0ms is considered invalid and does not do anything when play() is called.
Why do you have to use Transitions to set the values? They just modify Node properties over time, if you want to change the properties instantly, you can just access them directly. TranslateTransition modifies translateX, translateY, and translateZ, RotateTransition modifies rotate and rotationAxis.

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see my photos

After migrating data from Time Machine, some of my photos are not showing up in iPhoto LIbrary view. I get a 'dashed rectangle." When I click on it I get ' ! in a Triangle" When I click on that, I actually can see the photo. I want to see all my photos in 'Library' view, and I can't figure out how these photos seem to be arbitrarily hidden. Help, please.

Try these for the first attempt:
First be sure to have a backup copy of the library if you already don't have one.

Can't set required duration in iMovie 09?

I'm using iMovie 09 and trying to set the duration of a clip (using inspector) as 0.9s but as soon as I set the vallue and hit enter it just becomes 0.8s. It seems that the duration can only go up in 0.2s intervals.
Does anyone have a solution? Is this normal?

Just found an answer,
In case anyone is interested, go iMovie, preferences then display time as hh:mm:ss:frames.
Allows more precise editing

Can I set the duration of slideshow photos less than 1 second?

I want to create a slideshow on iphoto, but I want each picture to display for about .5 of a second. I want the slideshow to be really fast, with pictures flying by. It seems the only option is 1 second and above. Is there any way to make it faster than 1 second per picture?
I have version 6 I believe.
(It happens to be frozen right now, so I can't check for the exact version.)
Thank you,
-Jenn

Jenn:
You can't. The minimum time is 1 second. You might be able to use iMovie to create what you want but will not be able to have any transitions between slides.

Can I set clip durations in iMovie 10.0.7 for Yosemite?

In earlier versions of iMovie I was able to go to preferences and display the clip durations as described in this link below. I could also see the approximate position of the entire video while it is playing.
iMovie '11: Display the precise duration of video clips
I am forced to use the current version of iMovie because the older version no longer works for me. I cannot find a similar option in preferences or anywhere else. Has this wonderful feature been removed from this software. Right now if someone asks me to edit starting at a specific position I cannot do it. I have to play the entire video to find the portion of it that they want removed. I am working with fairly long videos and having this feature would really shorten the time for video editing.

Hello and thanks for using Apple Support Communities,
Unfortunately, although iMovie 10 added some great new features and brought a more intuitive user interface, some legacy features were discontinues. Chapter markers are an example. While you cannot add 'chapter' markers, you can still add traditional markers by using the Mark item in the menu bar and then clicking add marker. These will not add chapters, however, and will only allow you to quickly find a spot later in iMovie.
Sorry about that, but if you recently updated iMovie to version 10 from an older version, it is possible that the older version is still on your Mac. You can search for it using Spotlight, the search icon in the menu bar.

Can I set photos as a screen saver?

Is it possible to have my photo slideshow turn on while listening to music? Can't quite figure it out and the manual won't download to my computer.

Yes, it's all in here: http://www.apple.com/support/ipod101/photo/3/
Tweaking Slideshow Settings
In the Photos menu, you'll see a listing for Slideshow Settings. This is where you can set options for your slideshow playback, such as deciding whether or not to have your slideshow play music, how long each image stays onscreen, what kind of transition to use between pictures, and more.

Why cant i delete some photos ?

How do I delete photos from My Photo Stream?
You can delete photos from your photo stream the same way you delete other photos from your iOS device or Mac. Just select the photos you want to remove, and tap the trash can icon or click Delete. On your PC, select the photos you want to remove from your photo stream, right-click, and then select delete. When you delete a photo from Photo Stream on one device, iCloud will automatically delete it from the Photo Stream album or view on your other devices. Learn more about deleting photos.

How to set the duration of each pic in a slideshow (and also how to pan and zoom)

I have about 30 pictures I would like to add to a slide show.
When I add them the duration for each picture is set to 6 seconds.
I would like this changed to 4 seconds.
But manually changing the duration of each individual picture, one by one, is a slow and tedious task.
Is there a way of changing the duration of all my pictures at the same time, from 6 seconds to 4 seconds ?
Or can I change a setting so that when I insert my pictures the duration is set to 4 seconds instead of 6 seconds ?
As for the pan and zoom, I have seen the pan and zoom effect but this has a black border around the pictures as they zoom in and out.
For example, when zooming in the picture starts small with a black border all round the edge.
When zooming out the picture ends small with a black border all round the edge.
Is there a way to pan and zoom starting with a full screen when zooming in, and ending with a full screen when zooming out ?
Thereby not showing any ugly black borders.
My Nokia N73 phone can do it !
You can view the pictures as a slide show and when it pans and zooms it looks so much better because it does not show any black borders.
The picture ALWAYS fills the screen even though it is panning and zooming.

If you go to Edit/Preferences, you can set the default duration for each slide. This will affect only those photos you've imported into your project AFTER changing this preference.
You should also turn off the preference for Scale to Frame Size, so your photos do not fill the screen. (And, for efficiency's sake, make sure your source photos are no larger than 1000x750 pixels, per the FAQs at the top of this forum.)
You can also set the duration of each slide by selecting all of the stills you want to include on in your slideshow, right-clicking and selecting the Create Slideshow option.

I set the duration of a clip and iMovie sets it to something else. So I try to set all stills to same length and iMovie sets them all to a different interval. Now I have a movie much longer than intended. ?!?!

Well, the title of the question pretty much says it all.

How can I set my Mac to only share SPECIFIC folders with Win7

It used to work, but, even though I have set only my Public folder and a specific photographs folder to share with a Win7 PC on my home network, the Win7 machine can see the entire Mac HD.
I followed instructions from here:
http://www.trickyways.com/2011/07/file-sharing-mac-os-x-lion-and-pc-windows-7/
But if I type Run then enter the ip address of the Mac, all the folders appear. Is there a way to limit them to only the two specific folders?
I've mapped the single folder to a drive, so admittedly, unless you go into "Run", you can't see the other Mac folders and drives, but I'd still like to make sure it can't be done.
Thanks

Can't set comboBox value that has valueMember / displayMember

Hello All,
I'm working on a project where I'm dynamically building a form according to a configuration schema. I'm pretty new at C# and got the following issue I can't get sorted out .
Any help, advise would be great !!!
When building a ComboBox I can't set the value I want !!
Probably I'm missing something.
I've tried several methods but nothing does it ... below my code.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
namespace ComboBoxSample
public partial class Form1 : Form
public Form1()
InitializeComponent();
CreateComboBox();
public void CreateComboBox(){
//Working variables
string valueMember = "idColumn";
string displayMember = "valueColumn";
//Create a panel and add to the form
TableLayoutPanel tlp = new TableLayoutPanel();
this.Controls.Add(tlp);
//Create the data source
DataTable dataTable = new DataTable();
dataTable.Columns.Add(valueMember, typeof(string));
dataTable.Columns.Add(displayMember, typeof(string));
dataTable.Rows.Add("A", "value A");
dataTable.Rows.Add("B", "value B");
dataTable.Rows.Add("C", "value C");
//Create a binding source
BindingSource bindingSource = new BindingSource(dataTable, null);
//Create a comboBox and bind the datasource
ComboBox comboBox = new ComboBox();
comboBox.DropDownStyle = ComboBoxStyle.DropDownList;
comboBox.DataSource = bindingSource;
comboBox.ValueMember = valueMember;
comboBox.DisplayMember = displayMember;
Try and set the value
//No methode displays B --> combo stays on A
comboBox.SelectedValue = "B";
//comboBox.Text = "value B";
//comboBox.SelectedItem = comboBox.FindStringExact("value B");
//add the controles to the panel
tlp.Controls.Add(comboBox, 0, 0);

Hi Viorel_,
Thanks for the reply!!
The setting the value in the form's Load event does work!
I agree for the form designer but it does not fit the need.
What I have is a "meta-data" driven logic where I define a screen that matches database fields:
Example : Screen new person has 5 fields : Gender (combobox) , first name (textbox) , last name (textbox) , type (combobox) ,birthday (datetime)
I have a Form derived class that takes this definition and builds each control at run time.
The definition also comes with potential default values (i.e. :type = client) so what I want to do is affect the value on the fly. This works fine with textbox or datetime. I'm trying to do the same for combobox.
Maybe I got this all wrong from a design point of view.

Problems setting still photo duration??

How do you REALLY change and fit the transition and clip duration to what you want it to be? I have tried everything and researched it long enough.This has been a long-time problem with a lot of users - I'm surprised and disappointed Apple hasn't helped anyone through this by giving a solution THAT WORKS.
The last thing I tried was...
delete all transitions
set the still photo duration to what I want it to be (3.0sec)
add transitions back
But when I add them the still photo duration jumps to 4.0sec?? When I then go back and click on the photo to change duration for all photos, the time increases by 1.0 sec every time I adjust it back to my original 3.0 input. Right now it is at 8.0 sec???!!
Can someone help me with the steps to do this? I really don't want to start all over, I'd rather input photo settings for each picture then find the pictures again to add to my project.
*Yes I realize that the project settings (command+J) probably need to correspond - that is what makes sense to me, at least *

Wait!
I think I figured it out - If anyone has this problem, go to preferences and "unclick" - ADD AUTOMATIC TRANSITION DURATION in Browser catagory at the bottom. Then hit command+J to go to project properties and know that PHOTO DURATION + TRANSITION DURATION = the number of seconds you see when you click on your still photo.
Hopefully that helps someone out there.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

How can I set up two iPhones with the same contact, photos, music etc... but a different sim card and phone number. They will both be my phones, but one will be for use in other countries.

Phone A = phone with information you want duplicated
Phone B = phone that you want to copy from A
Backup Phone A.
Wipe Phone B using these instructions. What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Phone B should be on the 'Hello' screen. Do not swipe it. Launch iTunes. Plug in Phone B.
When iTunes asks if you want to set up as new phone or restore from backup, choose restore from backup of Phone A.
After this setup, any changes to one phone (i.e. adding a contact, downloading an app) will have to be manually duplicated on the second phone, if that is your desire). Making changes to one phone will not affect the other after setup.
