Can you burn a slideshow in iPhoto?

If so how?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What is the final destination of the slideshow? Do you want to play it on a DVD player thru a TV set of just put it on a CD disk to move to another location?
If it's the first option then you can use the Share->Send to iDVD menu and it will be created and imported into a new iDVD project. Or you can follow Terence's workflow of exporting as a QT movie. Then open iDVD, select your theme, add a slideshow by clicking on the"+" button, and drag the QT movie into the slideshow. This will scale the movie to the TV Safe area so that none of it is lost to the TV overscan when play on conventional CRT TV sets.
A last thought about iDVD. It's been my experience that I get better final image quality if I create the slideshow in iDVD by importing the still photos into the slideshow window and add the transition and audio track(s) there.
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. 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.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Slideshow from Iphoto? Can I burn a slideshow from Iphoto to dvd? When I export to Idvd it changes all my settings and transitions.

Trying to burn a slideshow to dvd.I can get it just the way I want in Iphoto,but when I send it to Idvd,it changes akk the transition settings.Help?

Try exporting the slideshow as a QT movie file. It should keep all of your transitions, etc. and then you can drag the QT file into the iDVD menu being careful to avoid any drop zones.

Can you run a slideshow in iPhoto without music?

Ow do you burn a slideshow from i photo to a disc

How do you burn a slideshow from Iphoto to a disc.

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:

But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

Ask in the iDVD forum on what's the best way out of iPhoto and into iDVD. The resident expert there, Bengt Wärleby, can give you the best option.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.

HT4718 After burning a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD, it will not play on my DVD player OS X 10.9.4

iMac 27' OS X 10.9.4 I burned a slideshow from iPhoto export to a DVD and now it will not play back on anything. The player said Unknown disc. What can i do?

I do find that using one of these programs will reduce the sharpness of the photos.
Granted, I've never used iPhoto - I use Photo to Movie for slideshows and various versions of iMovie for videos, but my pics are excellent quality and my videos are shot in 1080p (better camera) or 720p (small camera) and the results are superb on my TV using both iDVD and Toast. However, I do not encode in iDVD, I simply use it to add a theme and menus. The encoding is done by Photo to Movie, or iMovie 06 HD (the only version ever to process losslessly) and either/both are imported into iDVD as a complete .mov, or Toast.
Since using those methods, I've never had a problem with the sharpness or crispness of my footage. My eyes cannot discern a difference between my "production" and true HD (unless of course I shook the camera while shooting, LOL).

Can't burn a CD from iPhoto to finder

I can't burn a CD from Iphoto to finder or from dropping the files into a folder on desktop ? The apple specialist couldn't do it either, what do I do?

Could you please describe what you - and the Apple person - did, and what happened.
The procedure I use is 1. with Finder active, click File and select New Burn folder. That produces this on my desktop.
2. Next I drag and drop the files I want to burn to that folder.
3. Then I select the folder, go back to File in the menu bar and select Burn... to disc.
After the burn is done I trash the Burn Folder (its contents are aliases).
Is that the procedure that did not work?

How many times can you burn a protected song?

How many times can you burn a purchased iTMS song onto an audio cd?
I know they say you can only burn a playlist so many times but does that also include the purchased songs? (I hope not)
Does anybody know the official iTMS ruling on this?
-J

I believe I read that you are allowed to burn it seven times, but I burn mixes all the time and have never run into a message that I've reached my limit. Honestly, though, if you are—at some point—unable to burn anymore, you can reimport a purchased song from one of the burned CDs.
Hope this helps!

How many times can you burn "protected AAC" to CDs...?

How many times can you burn Apple iTunes Store's music files (Protected AAC) to a CD? Seven?

I can put any of the individual songs onto a playlist and burn it to a CD and do it an infinite number of times?
You don't get unlimited burns of a single playlist including any tracks from the iTunes Music Store, no,
Any given playlist that contains a track or tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store can be burned a maximum of seven times. After that, you either have to alter the playlist (add or remove a track of any type, iTMS or imported) or create a new playlist with the iTMS track(s) you wish to burn. That playlist can also be burned up to seven times. Etc. etc.
Note that this only applies when you're burning an audio CD. You can burn your iTMS tracks as data for backup an infinite number of times. Though of course those data disks won't play in a CD player.
Hope this clears things up.

Although letting the player do the job may be the easier way, you might want to explore the use of a free program named InfoEdit that was brought up in a 2010 thread here.

I have not used InfoEdit, but you might find it interesting.
Plesae let us know the outcome.
