Creating a slideshow using iPhoto 2006?

I am having difficulties trying to figure out how to create a slideshow in iPhoto 2006 - it will take one photo and I cannot figure out how to add others or to make a slideshow from one of the albums.
Unfortunately, the manual I can find online is for iPhoto 2011.

Hi, I never use iPhoto, but offer another solution...
GraphicConverter gives even more options for slide shows...

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and then used iDVD to burn the sideshow to a DVD. The quality of the DVD is poor. Any ideas?

I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and then burnt it to DVD using iDVD. The quality of the slideshow on the DVD is poor. Any ideas?

Poor in what way? iDVD creates standard definition displays of 640 x 480 pixels and will not look as sharp as the orignal photos in the iPhoto slideshow on a Mac monitor.

When i create a slideshow in iphoto using the ken burns effect it will not work in idvd. any tips please.

when i create a slideshow in iphoto with the ken burns effect it works fine. when i then transfer it to idvd it will not work. any tips please.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
how are you getting the slideshow into iDVD?
what size slideshow did you send to iDVD?
can you export the slideshow to the Desktop and play it with Quicktime Player there?
what fixes have you tried?
how much free space on your boot drive?
Here's how you should create and sent a slideshow to iDVD from iPhoto:
Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 480p.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

What do I do next???

If your Mac is a new one, like mine, then it comes with a version of iLife that doesn't have iDVD and if so, there isn't an easy way to burn a DVD from iPhoto or iMovie that will play on a normal DVD player. There is quite a bit of correspondence about this, but I couldn't find a good answer, apart from this:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/18460085#18460085
I ended up buying (via Amazon) a boxed version of iLife11, which has all the same software I already have, but with a copy of iDVD with it.
Seems to work well with iMovie, but at the moment, my copy of iPhoto has crashed - see:

Having only just transferred from a Windows machine to a Mac, it seems incredibly arrogant for Apple to think people don't use DVD players anymore.

Here's my take on the same thing:
Short answer: the dpi is set when you decide what size you're printing at.
Long Answer: Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.

I'd suggest you ask this question in the iPhoto forums:

First confirm that you can create a PDF file of your book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. Post back with the results.

Help Please! I've created a slideshow in iPhoto 09 and the first song just repeats 50 seconds into it. How do I get the song to continue?

With iPhoto open click Help from the iPhoto menu bar top of your screen. From the drop down menu click iPhoto Help.
Type slideshow music in the search field top right corner of that window.
You should see: To add music to a slideshow instructions.

How significant is the yellow hazard warning for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

How significant is the yellow hazard warning message for pictures when creating an album using IPhoto?

Are you talking about making a Book?
How siginificant depends on how low resolution the photo is and how sensative you are to poor prints - it displays when a -photo will print below 180 dpi - what is the DPI of the photos that is givingyou the warning (the photo size divided byt the pixel size)

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 with music at 1070p, then put it to both a CD and a DVD. I cannot play either back on my iMac. It is jumpy and unusable on playback. Different Video card needed? Any Help?

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 at 1070p with music. After transferring the slideshow to a DVD I could not play it back on my iMac without a lot of skipping. Any ideas? Different Video card??

As I said, I've not used Lightroom (and I tried to find some info on the Adobe website, but they like to make it difficult to find things - the only thing easy to find was the "buy" button LOL).
I get some pretty good quality - and actually reduce my videos from 1080 to 720p because of the enormous file size, rendering time required, and the fact that I simply cannot tell the difference on my 42" HDTV. My workflow is: create a slideshow in Photo to Movie (I've found that superior to anything else I've tried), add that to my iMovie project (in between video clips, etc), add transitions, titles, or whatever. Export at the highest settings (experimented with different settings on a 30 sec clip) to desktop. Fire up iDVD, customize a theme/menu with videos, music, stills and then add my movie(s). Encode there to highest quality, create a Video TS folder (which will include all the files necessary so you can delete the originals if you want) or burn from there. If I do the folder method, I use Roxio Toast to burn it at the slowest speed available.
Using that workflow, my movies rock (if I say so myself ) and have a great quality. And I've never had a coaster.

How do I create a journal using iPhoto 11 on a mac?

Any idea how I can create an iphoto journal on my mac like I can do when using iphoto on my phone or ipad? I can't seem to make a Journal from my Mac using iPhoto 11.

That is not a feature of iPhoto on the Mac - it is only available on iPhoto for IOS - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.

Creating a slideshow using dreamweaver cs5

Hi guys I was wondering how do you create a slideshow in dreamweaver cs5, I was watching a guy do it in dreamweaver cs4 but i could not find the flash elements panel.
Thanks

Do a Google search on "jQuery Slideshows" Behold! A wonderland of slideshow plug-ins!
Cool this is about jQuery slide-shows is that they all work basically the same way, so once you go through the learning curve of implementing one you'll be able to use any of them. This way you don't have to be locked in to a particular look. You can use what will look best for each site.
Enjoy!

Sorting pictures in numerical order for slideshow using Iphoto 7.1.3

I have scanned hundreds of old slides and assigned titles with an ascending numerical code which I hoped Iphoto would then sort numerically in a slide show.
This is not happening!
When I sort by title (the numerical code) Iphoto seems to place them in some binary
sequence e.g. 1,10,100,101,102 etc. I want them 1,2,3,4,5,etc.
Help! What am I doing wrong? How can I get them in proper numerical sequence without manually moving them around on the screen?
When I view the files in their folder as a list they all show in proper numerical sequence. Why will Iphoto not sort them the same way?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. At Terence pointed out the alphanumerical listing in iPhoto requires a zero to be added before numbers 1 thru 9 (for less than 99 photos) in order for the numbers to be in the natural order. Renaming as Terence suggested, Photos->Batch Change->Title to Text with sequential numbers added will pad zeros accordingly so you'll get -01, -02, etc., or if more than 100 files, -001, -002, -020, etc.
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.

I have a MacBook and created a slideshow on IPhoto. I made copies (discs) of the slideshow and they did not come out well...how can I create discs with the same quality as the original?

Help making slideshow using iPhoto & iMovie

How can I make the photos in my iPhoto album remain in the same order when imported into iMovie? I have created an album and a playslist of music. When I bring the music into the project, only the first song shows up so it is impossible to add beat markers to the whole set. Also every time I add the photo album the photos are out of order from how they are in the album in iPhoto.....how can I fix this? There are 207 photos so adding them individually is not an option.

I wish I could help you. I have had good luck dragging in albums from iPhoto, and it will keep its order. However, if I drag an iPhoto Event, it will not keep its order.
For music, you need to drag one at a time. A playlist from iTunes will not work.
