Chapters within slideshow won't play its contents continuously

I'm a first-time user of iDVD:
So I imported two iPhoto albums into an iDvd project. Each iPhoto album consisted of a mix of photos and short QT movies taken from my digital camera. Each project has less than 99 photos/movies combined. I wanted it to run continuously within each slideshow. It looked great in the preview. I burned a DVD and now, it only plays one photo or movie at a time. I have to sit there and click FAST FORWARD on the remote to make it advance to the next photo. What did I do wrong? Why won't the chapters within the slideshow play continuously?
Thanks.

I would also like to pass on this additional piece of advice. While in iDVD, save your project as a disk image. Go to File>Save as disk image. This will create a file that can be viewed using your computer's DVD player. This will show you how your project will look when played on a standard DVD player. Viewing your project first as a disk image will help you find and correct any errors before burning and possibly wasting a disk. Then when you are happy with the way things look, you can use Disk Utility to burn the disk image to DVD. Another advantage is that the encoding has been done in the creation of the disk image, so burning additional copies takes less time that burning each disk using iDVD.

  • Javascript slideshow won't play in Safari, will play in Firefox

    We have created a JS slideshow at the weblink below. It plays in Firefox, but not in Safari.
    Does anyone have a clue why Safari does not like this?

  • Apple TV won't play purchased content

    Apple TV 2 and Apple TV 3 - Software version 6.2.1 - same problem happening on both of my Apple TV devices.
    I have almost full access to the iTunes store from both of my Apple TV devices.  I can access Netflix and I can make iTunes purchases of movies and songs, etc.  When I try to watch the movie I've purchased, it begins to load, goes to "authorizing" and then I get the message:  "iTunes is currently unavailable.  Try again later."  This has been happening since last weekend.  I talked to numerous representatives who really never helped and seemed to just try and placate me with a generic answer that would get me off their phone so that they could move on to a problem they COULD solve.  The last rep, who was supposed to be a higher level rep told me that a server was down and it would come back in 24-48 hours.  I didn't believe him when he said it and clearly that wasn't the problem since I am still having problems.  AGAIN TODAY I've tried everything I can think of including restarting over and over, reseting the Apple TV and finally restoring the Apple TV to factory settings, which seems to have disabled my iTunes account and required me to go to "iForgot" to reset my password.  I did all of this which took at least an hour of my time and in the end, I get the same error.  Over the years I have spent literally thousands of dollars on content that I cannot access.  I have read older issues where people have had similar problems but they usually get a few minutes into the movie before that happens.  I can't get the movie (or song, etc.) to even start to play.  I can get the movie to play from my iPad though.  I have reopened my case.  I am so frustrated right now because I have movies that I bought that I can't watch.  Any ideas??

    I have been getting frustrated with this as well.
    I purchase content on my iMac, download it to my HDD then normally access that content on my ATV via "Home Sharing." Prior to the iOS 8 and Yosemite updates to all of the devices, this scenario worked perfectly.
    Ever since the updates have been installed, I have to reboot EVERYTHING (router, iMac, ATV) to get my iTunes library show up on the ATV, then after I watch a movie and come back to watch another, I have to reboot EVERYTHING again.
    My fix has been to unplug the ATV and access my Ultraviolet movies on my PS3 until such time as Apple can come up with a proper fix. It's nice to have a device that works properly.

  • Iphoto slideshow won't play music

    when I create a slideshow in iphoto, the music I selected will not play. The slideshow functions normally otherwise. Is this a problem with Mavericks?

    What music are you selecting? From iTunes?
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.

  • Slideshow won't play video(QuickTime file), works fine in Keynote('08), how to fix?

    Shows up in the slideshow but video does not start, even though after the time the video would play, the slideshow continues, and even plays the next video OK.  The Keynote works perfectly, the problem is only witht the recorded Slideshow, so I can't export a working version.  Ideas?

    Hi Richmoller51,

  • Slideshow won't play on a PC

    Shouldn't this work?
    I just used iWeb to publish a series of pictures to my mobileme website. Everything appears to work fine EXCEPT - the "Play Slideshow" for PC users brings up this message:
    +Looking for something on MobileMe?+
    +We can't find the page you requested. Please make sure the URL is spelled and capitalized correctly, and try again.+
    The slideshow functions fine on my Mac, but not on either of two PCs I've tried. Help!

    Here it is, BTW, if you want to see what I'm talking about.

  • PowerPoint 2003 SP3 won't play Flash content

    One of our company's products requires the distribution of a Flash file embedded in a PowerPoint slide. This works fine on most machines, except for those with Office/PowerPoint 2003 Service Pack 3 installed. After much hunting, I think I have finally narrowed the issue down to the way in which SP3 deals with add-ins, ActiveX controls and COM add-ins. This Microsoft support page has more information on the issue:
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/938814/
    Essentially, SP3 introduces an additional security check that the Flash content fails. Surely others must have had similar problems with Flash in Office 2003 SP3? And, surely, there must be an easier way of getting around this issue that doesn't require me to remotely login into every client's machine and edit their registry for them?
    Does anyone know of a patch for either Flash (making it compliant with Microsoft's security requirements as detailed in the above link) or Office 2003?
    I'm at my wits end here, so any insight would be VERY much appreciated.
    Thanks!

    All I can recommend is to file a bug report at http://bugs.adobe.com/flashplayer/ to have the issue addressed by Adobe.
    Hopefully someone else has a solution for you that addresses the immediate problem for you.

  • Slideshow won't play on iweb and make page disappear

    Hello. I have been jacking with this program for a month now with some success and some failure. Today I was revisited by something I thought I resolved: My webpage disappeared from my album page that contains all the links to my pages. It is gone from both my computer version and of course the published version. It shows in the sidebar in iweb, but not on the page?
    http://web.me.com/tedcarlos/FamilyTrips_and_visits/Family_Trips_and_visits/Family_Trips_andvisits.html
    I had deleted this missing page before and stated over and it seem to work, but after my last edit, it was gone again.
    I have been trying to publish an iphoto slideshow that I had exported as a movie for weeks. My mac people can see it, my PC family members cannot! I' tried to make it small for the web, changed the filename to mp4 from mpv4, but PC people still could not see it. So I tried to put the slideshow movie in as a huge .mpeg and it disappeared. ( I had made an avi file but it looked horrible so used the equally as large but better ,mpeg)
    I am getting the idea that it can only be done with imovie! Is than an authoritative step by step on iphoto 08,quicktime pro, and Iweb so I can put all these things together?

    You can't burn a video dvd using just PSE. Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements to create the final video disc. If you have PRE, use that. If not, just output the slideshow as a WMV file and use whatever burning software you have, even Windows DVD maker, to create the actual video disc.
    The only kind of video disc PSE can make is the hateful VCD format, which is always terrible in quality and not well supported anymore. It was a good idea back when DVD burners were very expensive, but it's archaic now.

  • Burned movie clips jittery; slideshows won't play

    I made an iDVD 08 project with 13 movies and two slideshows. The movies (all .avi) are all under five minutes and there are about 80 pictures in one slideshow, 30 in the other. Both slideshows are imported from iPhoto 08.
    Some of the movies stop and start, some quit the DVD altogether. The slideshows do not run at all - they quit the dvd.
    Where do I start with problem solving? Is it the media, the file format (.avi) or something else?
    One more thing - I made the entire project with 'Magic iDVD'.

    Start out with these basic remedies. Quit iDVD and delete your iDVD preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.idvd.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iDVD; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    If that doesn't help, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.

  • Itunes downloaded movie won't play

    I've searched the forum but can't find a relevant solution. I purchased and downloaded a movie through iTunes, but when I try to play it I just get a black screen. The controls appear, and I can see screens in the chapters, but it won't play. I deleted and re-downloaded it twice to no avail.

    I am having the same problem right now and I can't seem to find an answer, I really wish I could help you :/

  • ITunes Store can't load its content on my Mac

    Hi, recently i just realized that my iTunes store doesn't work as in it won't load its content but from the bandwidth or network status it's actually downloading something, i have tried several troubleshoots from apple support and even reinstalled by overwrite my iTunes, but nothing's worked
    Please help if you know how to fix it or had a similar issue before
    Thanks
    Agung

    When you removed and reinstalled iTunes, did you follow the steps in the support document? Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8  If not, that can create its own set of problems. What kind of anti-virus software are you using on the computer? Have you tried to disable the firewall and anti-virus software? Do you have a passcode on the device? If so, do you unlock the phone before you attempt to sync? Others have reported this helps. You say the iPad has started to display this behavior. Have you done anything different to it or the laptop just prior to this starting? Are you logged into the computer as an administrator?

  • 1stGen Apple TV Won't Play Newly Purchased Movies

    I have a 1stGen Apple TV and just purchased 2 movies on my computer via the iTunes Store. When I try to play them on my 1stGen Apple TV It shows the movies on my "Shared Movies" Menue, but won't play the content. On the main menue it shows them at being 0sec long. I can navigate through the movie content menues, but can not play any of the content. All other movies work just fine, just these newly purchased ones....I have tried everything and nothing works.

    You might try copying the HD movies to your desktop, then deleting the listing and original from iTunes, iTunes should then let you re-download an SD version for the Apple TV 1. You can then re-import the HD version from your desktop.

  • HT1657 Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and it just stopped, thought it was a low battery but even after charging itbto 100% the movie won't play anymore. It shows the movie chapters but says the movie content can't be played. Please advjise

    Was watching a movie on my iPad2 and the movie stopped playing, I thought it was because of a low battery but even after charging the battery to 100% it still won't play. I can bring up the movie & all the chapters but when I press play it says movie content can not be played. Please advise. Thanks!

    I am having almost the same problem, with the same OS, iTunes versions, and kids waiting to watch their favorite movie (Frozen).  I am (trying) to play the content on the computer, and hooked up to Vizio TV and external stereo.
    The video will display on the TV, but the audio will only play through the laptop. The movie will still play with both audio and video on the laptop.
    In researching this morning, it seems that i need to purchase a new TV and stereo that are HDCP "compliant" (NOT just compatible). Folks are also complaining that the same "won't play" issues directly on Mac hardware. 
    I could not find any current software workarounds or patches (Apple seems silent on this as a "problem").
    Upgrading hardware is insulting and (frankly) impossible.  Why should I get new hardware that works perfectly well? 
    I was going to get an Apple TV for Christmas, although not if new products cannot be used with my current hardware.   I would rather go back to all Microsoft hardware and software than constantly deal with troubleshooting Apple hardware and software.
    I'm going to uninstall iTunes v 12 and reinstall v 11 to see if that works.
    Please post if there is a solution!

  • Short content DVD won't play

    I've had this problem for years, and I've finally decided to ask. Every time I make a short content DVD with under about 10 minutes of content, my finished Encore DVD won't play in some players.  The amount of data written by Encore is visibly small on the disc. I've noticed however, that if I take the same content, and master it in Nero rather than Encore, the content on the disc (burn area) is much larger and it plays just fine on every player.  Is there anything within Encore that I can change to eliminate this problem?
    Thanks for any thoughts.

    "Probably" the reason nero doesn't have the problem is the same as for ImgBurn: it automatically pads the total size. I never remember to pad tiny disks anymore, because I have become dependent on the autopad!
    Edit: I see John's second past! That's the other imgburn advantage here: let it figure out the addition!
