Cannot change title slide in slideshow on iPhoto

Made a slideshow in iPhoto, I cannot change the default text on the title slide

I also have iphoto 11 and as I too cannot figure out why my mac will not play music other then the theme music for that slideshow, as I can add from my itumes libabry it will not play the music though I am able to place it. It also cannot be heard nor previewed to hear in the list. ANyone else having this issue as to me for now it is useless to even select a slideshow if you cannot pick music we have to be played. I also have the latest operating system Mavericks, so what am I doing wrong as I know how to use the program, though it is just not working well with the music. Yjamls if anyone can help me solve this. Much appreciated.

Cannot Change Title Size

The text size itself is fine (any smaller and I can't see it hehe), anyhoo there's too much text to fit into the small box it provides me with, I've tried right clicks and edit and a few other options but no help really. Is there any specific way to change text 'box' size to allow more text to fit into viewable range? (I can put the two sentences into it, they just won't appear)

I'm very confused mostly because I always expected iMovie to be a quality editing tool, and really, my text boxes don't seem to be able to lot more then one line of text in, I can't 'easily' adjust the volume of my background music beyond the first two clips ( Every single clip is set to duck 'all other clips' to 30% normal volume, which works wonders on the first two clips but after that it's like there was a 40 second fade in and it explode with music again and there's no ducking I can do to it anymore I guess), I still love my mac, but, is there perhaps a more manageable movie editor for macs? Or even a guide on how to do everything I need? I feel like there should just BE a button 'Add background music' with the option to 'Adjust background music in portions or in full?'
-shrug-
Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated as I am practically tearing my hair out at not being able to adjust the volumes and fix my title box limit size.

I am using my Description as the caption on Slideshow. I ticked the "Show Title Slide" button and iPhoto physically copied the description on the first slide onto the end of every other description. I can find no way of removing them other than by hand.

Previous contact information with your organization (DURIM):
Dennis - i just finished my audition trial and bought the subscription the 2014 version.
created by durin in Audition CS5.5, CS6 & CC - View the full discussion
DURIM - Okay. I would expect the "Cache Warning" message because your default directories would not be the same as the ones in the settings file I generated.
If you go back to the "7.0" directory and open the "Logs" folder, can you copy the "Audition Log.txt" file and send it as an attachment to [email protected]? We'll take a look in that logfile and see if it gives us more information about why this is failing now.
Also, do you have any other Adobe applications installed on this machine, such as Premiere Pro? If so, do they launch as expected or fail as well?
I do have the trial Pro version of Adobe reader, but I have not activated it, because I fear the same thing will happen did it. I cannot afford to activate the subscription for that product and take the chance of it not working either. I depend on those two programs religiously. Here is the files that you requested. I appreciate any help you can give me to get this audition program started

Slideshow in iPhoto - changing the theme for various slides to eliminate KB effect - doesn't "hold" through playback

I have made a couple of slideshows using iPhoto. I used the Ken Burns effect as a theme (using my own music). Many of the slides would not suit the KB effect (African animals) so I used the settings - change this slide to eliminate the KB effect for that slide - I also lengthened the duration that the slide played. I found that the effect I wanted for the slides would be correct for the Preview, but then it would revert to the KB effect upon playing the slideshow. Also, if I happened to move a slide to a different position, all the changes would have gone and I would have to repeat the exercise again! Very time-consuming and frustrating. Why won't the slides keep "their" instructions? Also, I have had iPhoto crash a few times while I am making changes.
Can anyone help me sort this out? I am presently exporting the latest slideshow to iTunes (and I've got my fingers crossed that all the changes I want are there)

NOt really. iPhoto is good for a quick and simple slideshow. For more complex work you need more powerful tools.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Cannot view Keynote slides except in slideshow or slide navigator

I'm using Keynote '09 version 5.0.3 (791) on Macbook Pro Intel Core 2 Duo with OS X 10.6.3. Been working fine ... always. Today I installed the latest Apple update and ... bad times. Firstly, many of my settings (screensaver, desktop, etc.) have changed. But the main problem I have found is that Keynote is now unusable ... I can see the slides when in slideshow and I can see them in the slide navigator down the left but I CANNOT SEE THE SLIDE CONTENT IN THE MAIN WINDOW which means that I cannot create or edit slide content. I've checked a whole load of old Keynote files and am convinced it is not a problem with any of the files (they open fine on other computers). The same happens when I try to create a new Keynote presentation ... I can create a new slide and enter content on it (although I cannot see what I am typing) and I can then view the slide in slideshow. I'm thinking that the latest Apple update has broken something. I tried to submit a ticket to Apple ... but was told I need to pay to do this. Can anybody help please?

PROBLEM SOLVED !!!
By the way, I tried creating a new user account and that didn't help. I spent about 9 hours in total searching these forums and the web for a solution. I spoke to all my tech friends for help. I tried everything, including repairing disk permissions, screen resolutions, etc. In the end we figured out that the update must have corrupted - possibly because I downloaded and installed it while within a corporate network. So I downloaded it again (making sure I had the latest combo version from the Apple web site) and then installed it again from home. Now everything is working fine!
So my recommendation to anyone who has the same problem ... backup everything and then back it up again; get the latest combo update from http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1017 and only download and run it when you are not in a corporate environment or going through proxy (just in case that makes a difference).
Thanks to everyone for trying to help me and I hope this helps you

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

Upgraded to OS X 10.9 and Slideshow in iPhoto stopped working (stays on first slide; will not advance)

Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database followed by Option #1 to reapair permissions if #4 doesn't help.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
If still not working log into another user account on your Mac and try a slideshow from there. If it works there then the problem is limited to your account. If it fails there it's system wide and may require a reinstall of iPhoto or the system.

MAking Title slides for a slideshow

How do I create title slides with text to place in between elements of my slideshow? I visited several islands recently and I want a title slide on which I can type the name of the particular island. I can't find out how to do it in I photo and I can figure out how to do it in IDVD 08. What gives?

You can use a word processing document to create the slide you want and then save as a PDF to iPhoto. Applications such as Pages or Keynote (if you have them) can also be used to create slides. They also can be saved in a format which can be imported into iPhoto.

When making a slideshow in iPhoto some iTunes files can no longer be found (cannot find link). How can I relink iphoto to the moved itunes files?

Hello everyone :-)
I am Using Iphoto 09 ver 8.1.2 & itunes ver. 10.2.2 in this situation.
I have recently moved my iphoto library & Itunes library files to a large external hard drive.
I have successfully set the computer to read / run both libraries from the hard drive & they are working well as a stand alone. ( I Have done this before)
Unforntualey this time I foolishly moved some itunes album folders around from compulations / various artists into the main media file before checking into what the ramifications would be.
After searching on here I learned that was not advised as itunes would not be able to automaticly find them since I moved them.
In itunes clicked on some of the exclamtion marks of the songs that I moved & linked them up to the main media folder so they could be now found by itunes. I believe itunes asked to look there in that location for all missing files & I selected that option.
It appears to have worked as when I click on them in itunes they now play.. yeah!
But now I am finding that when I try to add certain songs for slideshows in iphoto & imovie that those moved songs cannot be found by those programs :-(
( I assume the same would be true for iDVD)
So my questions are... Is there now a way to have those other programs find the moved songs?
I do have a older backup of my itunes media & I can try & move the album folders back to the original place they where by comparing the two but it is a very large library of 40k songs... so I thought to ask the knowledge & wisdom of the community before I attempted any further fixes.
It would take a bit of time but it could be done & I don't want to just use the older copy of my itunes as I have made many additions of albums to the library & added allot of album artwork as well. (Stuff that "itunes" & "tune up" couldn't automatically find)
Thanks in advance for any advice on this silly mistake I made.
Sal

Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Also delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same Preferences folder. Then launch iTunes and then iPhoto. See if that will restore the links.

How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac. I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album. Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual).
When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order.
Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu. Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number. Set Subfolder Format to None.
Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder. Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window. The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc. There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder. Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name. 001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad. Click on your iPad device in the list at the left. Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right. In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are. Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
Now click Sync at bottom right. The slides will be copied to your iPad. Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding. Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad. But this worked and gave me several options. I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV. TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
Hope this helps!

Cannot change to video in iphoto.

I cannot change from photo to video in my camera programme.
I use iphone 4S version 7.1
Maybe it has somethon to with the mystery when I import photos to my computer iphoto.
The pictures turn around to upside down position.

Thank you so much! It works!

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item.

In iPhoto '11 I cannot change the book settings. For example, adding page numbers. There is no "option" button as is suggested by the help item. How can I change to book settings?

The "options" button should appear at the bottom of the iPhoto window, when you view your book, then the Book Settings Button should be available and you can activate page numbers.
But remember, that the settings available will depend on the Book Theme you selected. The above shows the settings for one of the "Travel" themes. In a Picture Book Theme, e.g. you cannot add page numbers.
What theme and book size are you using?

Pan & scan with slideshow title slide

I've been trying to use the Ken Burns effect with a title slide in a slideshow - but can't get it to work.
Is this possible please - without having to create a video workaround in FCP / iMovie?
Thanks
Julian

Interesting: I just tried it, and Aperture will not let me do it. The only work around I can think of is to trick Aperture into thinking a text slide is a picture slide. You could create this faux text slide using the book tool, but it would be way easier to create it in another app that will save to a picture file format and then import it. If you have Powerpoint or Keynote ($20USD on App store), it will be super easy. You could also do it with Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Pixelmator ($30USD on App store), Gimp (free) or any number of apps.

Why does title slide in Keynote iMac change to from Helvetica to Chalkduster on transfer to ipad2?

slide presentation in Keynote iMac has helvetica neue and /or Arial as fonts. On transfer to iPad2 via iTunes, all slides apart from the title slide remain same font. title slide changes to Chalkduster - a blackboard chalk style font - bizarre.
Any ideas why?

Instead of pointing iTunes to the external drive, you could copy/import the library to your iMac's hard drive: /Users/yourusername/Music/iTunes/iTunes Media
This obviously takes up more of your local HD disk space (which you might be trying to avoid), but it should solve the problem.

I try to export my slideshow in iphoto, but get a "OSS-mistake". It is a large slideshow, but I cannot find the size of it, how do I do that? How can I export to an external harddrive?

I try to export my slideshow in iphoto, but get a "OSS-mistake". It is a large slideshow, but I cannot find the size of it, how do I do that? How can I export to an external harddrive?

How much free space on your HD?
What format is the external?
You can choose the destination of any export in the second screen of the export dialogue.

TS1702 Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

Just upgraded to the latest iTunes and iPhoto and now cannot change photos on my iPad, can anyone help please?

Try one or more of the following:
> Restart Your Computer
> Uninstall and Reinstall iTunes
> Reset iPod (nothing will get deleted)
> Look in My Computer (Windows 98, XP) OR Computer (Windows Vista or 7) and see if your iPod is in there.
In some cases (and this happened to me before) plug your iPod in and out your computer a few times. It should get it going. If not, then I strongly recommend starting your computer.
