Cropped song settings won't export to slideshow

For some reason, my start/stop time settings for individual songs in itunes won't export to an iphoto slideshow. Is there another way to do this?

David,
Your right. Changes made to the stop and start time of songs in iTunes don't seem to have any effect in iPhoto.
I suppose one work around would be to first burn the music for your slide show to a music CD and then reimport the tracks.
You could also use iMovie, GarageBand or a third party app like Sound Studio to actually edit the tracks (probably best to edit copies of the tracks) and then reimport the edited tracks back into iTunes.
Kind of a hassle. I'll continue to think a bout a more elegant solution.

IPhoto won't export my slideshow? I get the message (OSStatus error - 108)

I try to export my slideshow created from a photobook on 80 pages in iPhoto. I think I have tried everything and different formats. I get the message (OSStatus error - 108) no matter what I try. It's a photobook made for my sons 18 years birthday and my plan was to show it to the party this friday.
So it's a little confusing!
What to do?
Regards Helle

Some folks have fixed exporting issues by reinstalling the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Music won't export with slideshow

I've created a slideshow with music that works perfectly in Iphoto. When I export to Itunes or IDvd the slideshow looks perfect, but no music is playing with it. I double-checked to make sure my playlist is selected and applied.

Try creating the slideshow using another account to see if the problem is repeated there. If it is not, then the issue is in your account.
If you can't get things to work correctly here is an idea for a workaround. Create the slideshow in iPhoto, but do not use any music. Import into iDVD as a slideshow, and add your music there.
You can also report your difficulties to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
I hope this helps.

Why Won't iPhoto Export My Slideshow?

I import photos to iPhoto from my Canon Rebel. They were taken as RAW. I create a folder and name it within iPhoto. I place 50 images and order them the way I want. I then "Select All" the 50 photos in the folder just to play it safe. I click the Plus button and choose Slideshow. I go through all the steps, selecting the theme, selecting the Apple canned music (so that there won't be a copyright issue), I set my settings... Show Title, play music through slideshow, etc. I then click the Preview button. It works fine! I then tap the Play button. My slideshow fills the screen and does as I have asked it to. I then make sure that my slideshow is selected in the left column (it has not been unselected since I started this maneuver) and I click the Export button at the bottom of the window. HERE IS WHERE, AS I SAID BEFORE, EXPORT DOES NOT WORK.... A dialog box comes up: "Export your slideshow Choose a format based on where you will view your slideshows;___Format:" (I have chosen all three choices many, many times trying to get beyond this point.) "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes" has been selected, BTW. I then hit the export button and the navigator dialog box opens and I choose my folder called iPhoto Slideshows. I click OK. At this point the export progress dialog box opens and sits there... the thumbnail rectangle remains BLACK. The progress bar never changes from its standard GREY. The only text on the export slideshow dialog box remains the same and says: "Exporting Slideshow ..." Fearing there was a hiccup somewhere, I have left this window open and able to work OVERNIGHT, just in case. Nothing. I have tried all three formats. I have changed the destination folder. Nothing.
I have had this problem for months. Have asked this forum for help. I have been told nothing is wrong with iPhoto.
So here's my new question: "What am I suppose to do about this problem that I have explained above?"
I would say my copy of iPhoto is corrupt, if there is nothing wrong with iPhoto in general. Is this a possibility? In which case.... How do I get another iPhoto app without having to pay for it?
Or do you have some other reason this process is not working on my Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)?
This is the fifth time I have had to export all my photos to my laptop and use Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.2.3 in order to finish my projects.
Please help with these EXPORT FAILURE questions.
Thank you, very much.

Only one song exporting with slideshows

Hi,
I looked around a little and didn't see anything about this, so here goes:
Suddenly when I export slideshows to iDVD or Quicktime, it's only taking the first song. The rest of the show plays through, it just won't export any music past the first song. In iPhoto itself the slideshow plays correctly with all of the music intact - it just won't export it for some reason.
Any ideas? I'm working on a couple of projects and am hoping to wrap them up soon. Thanks!
AM

First you have to open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.

IPhoto 6 Won't Export Slideshow Audio to QuickTime

When "exporting" iPhoto 6 albums to Quicktime the audio selected in iTunes does not export with the selected Album photos. iPhoto "Help" says that iTunes' music selected for the slideshow also will export as the Album's "selected" music. But the slideshow music selection will not export to QuickTime with the iPhoto 6 photo album. Has anyone solved this problem? Thank you very much for any suggestions you may have!

My situation is a bit different. I can not seem to export a "slideshow" without getting that awful sample music.
The process is File>Export>QuickTime. No Make Slideshow and then export.
From the Help files I am supposed to create a slideshow and then select music from iTunes in the SlideShow settings menu. Of course, I've now got a slide show with a huge filesize I didn't want. Delete isn't that big of a step. So now it is back to File>Export>QuickTime and check the box to add selected music.
Of course, there is no way to know if the music has been identified and included in the export. Just trust, I guess. OK, make the export happen.
Now, open the QuickTime movie file I just created. Once again, that awful sample music has been included. I've done this so many times with the same result.
Work around is to export the images as a QuickTime movie with no music. Then open the QuickTime move and add music.
Any idea as to why Apple put that stupid music checkbox in the File>Export menu if it only grabs the awful sample music?

Won't export slideshow

I have a slideshow with 160 photos in it. When I try to export the file as a 4:3, 720x460 quicktime movie...it won't export it. It either gets halfway, and then crashes...or chews on the whole file, but then only exports the first 15 photos in the sequence. I need to get this resolved ASAP. Please help!

Try a couple things, Jeff, to improve your likelihood of success. Make sure you have the latest Quicktime version supported by your OS. Make sure you don't have other applications running at the same time. Run your OS maintenance routines (eg, with MacJanitor) and then use Disk Utility to Repair Permissions. Make sure you have at least 10% of your hard drive free.

Export QT slideshow and only the first song plays.

I did not have this problem with the previous version. All songs are from a playlist and are not purchased on iTunes. The slide show plays fine in iPhoto and then when exported only the first song plays in the QT version and after it silence. Can anyone help with this?

Hi Dave,
This seems to be a new bug introduced after one of the updates.
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow

Slideshow won't export with music when preview is fine?

I have a slideshow that I chose a song from my iTunes library and when I preview it everything is fine. When I export the slideshow I get no sound. I've created a separate slideshow with the same pics and same song but still get the same result. This is maddening. Anyone else have this happen?

What's the source of this song? Bought online? Is it DRM protected?

Iphoto 11 9.4.2 won't export slideshow

This is what I get when I try to export a slideshow.
I have a Mac Book Pro 13 running 10.8.2
I have exported several slide shows before with my old white Mac Book.
I tried exporting slideshows with only 2 pictures, and still no luck.
Any ideas? thank you for your help in advance.

Hello,
OT, so I tried to log in with a different account, and when I tried to import pictures to iphoto, I kept getting an error about a problem with the Flip4Mac plugin. I removed the Flip4Mac plugin and now I can export slideshows again. Kind of weird but it works, so now when I need Flip4Mac I just install it and uninstall it as needed.
Thanks for your patience and all the ideas OT, and Jose Luis, if you have Flip4Mac this might solve your problem, or it might be some other external plugin! Good Luck and thanks!

Slideshow won't export to itunes

I've previously been able to export man slideshows to itunes. I'm now using iphoto 9.4.1 and OSX 10.4.7. I can create and watch the slideshow fine but when I try and export it, the process starts but there is no progress on the progress bar and the picture is black/blank. Itunes opens up after a moment but nothing happens. Have repaired and rebuilt library. Updated flip4mac. Exported slides to desktop. Tried smaller shows with new pics. Have 100GB space available. Nothing is working. Can't reload from app store because 10.7.5 does not support the latest version of iphoto, needs 10.9 or greater. Any tips?

Exporting Large Slideshow Help!!

I'm having a bit of trouble exporting a slideshow of 515 pictures. I'm aware that is a lot of photos but I can't find ay specifics as far as the limitations of the software goes. I've searched the web high and low and could not find anything that states a limit of how many photos I can have in a slideshow. I'm using the scrapbook theme without music, and attempted to export it at a high resolution. The exporting process took a looooong time as I knew it would, however 3/4 of the way through, the export bar stopped moving completely and the preview for the slideshow stopped as well. I attempted a second time after waiting a few hours to export it, and it again failed to complete. Here's my thing, I'm trying to get this slideshow, bring it into to iMovie so I can add music (because iPhoto won't let me choose specific parts of the songs I want to play) and then bring it into iDVD to burn and watch it on a widescreen or standard TV. Have I surpassed the limitations of the software?? What would be my best option to accomplish this??

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you plan on taking the slideshow into iDVD to burn to disc then exporting at HD is a waste of time and effort. iDVD reduces all content to:
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format 640 x480
Thus crop the photos to the size you want and try again as standard or widescreen.
It's been my experience that creating the slideshow in iDVD gives me the best onscreen image resolution.
The downside to this method is that you can't have the Ken Burns effect (not problem for me as I don't use it), can have only one transition per slideshow and no unique themes.
The upside is that the music plays as it should whereas iPhoto has problems with too much dead air between tracks and early termination at the end of the music.
You might consider creating the slideshow in iMovie or a 3rd party application like Photo to Movie or PhotoMagico. PhotoPresenter is another 3rd party slide show application and offers over 25 animated themes, some of which are shown on this demo page: PhotoPresenter Animated Slideshow Themes. It has the Ken Burns effect but it is applied to all photos the same way with no user control.
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 versions) 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

Is there a way to export a slideshow to JPEG without a background?

Hi, I'm using LR4 to do a basic sign with many text overlays on a background image in Slideshow. I would like to export this image as a jpeg and then print it as an 8x10 to put in a frame. However, when I export the slideshow to jpeg or PDF, I'm getting the black background behind the image. I have nothing checked in the "Backdrop" menu on the right hand side. Is there any way to remove this background in slideshow? Is there a way to do this in another module instead? I want more than just a watermark so didn't think Print was the right way to go.
Example of my print preview below with black background.

Looks like you won't need to use the Develop module–Follow the below instructions
1) An 8" x 10" image with 300 ppi resolution = 2400 x 3000 pixel dimensions. Make sure your background image has at least that resolution or higher!
2) Next from inside the LR Slideshow module drag the 'Top' guide all the up so the image fills the frame vertically:
3) Next go to 'Export JPEG Slideshow' and manually enter Width = 2400 & Height= 3000. The exported Slideshow JPEG should be perfectly cropped and sized providing the original background image is 8x10 aspect ratio:
4) You are ready to make your print!
P.S. Please excuse my typo showing 3000 x 24000 it should read 3000 x 2400!

Exporting Quicktime Slideshows with Music Playlists-No audio

I am using iPhoto 7.1.3, Quicktime Pro, OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro. I made a slideshow that has 300 photos and attached it to a playlist of four mp3 songs (all the same format, I believe). When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it runs fine: all four songs play through from the selection of the playlist. However, when I export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie, there is no audio.
If I choose one song, the file works fine, repeating the music over and over.
If I go to the hassle of opening the individual songs in Quicktime and copying and pasting the audio together into one large track, imported back into iTunes, then I can "hack" the four songs into my Quicktime export.
It doesn't seem like this should be a problem. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Jack

If you can't find a solution try Join Together, a free application for joining multiple tracks into one. It's reasonable fast, I'm joining audio CDs together as I type, and would make it much easier that doing it manually.
That being said, try reinstalling the intel 10.4.11 COMBO installer and the latest QT updater, 7.4.1. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions. All bets are off if any of the tracks are protected tracks from the iTMS.

Urgent advice needed for exporting a slideshow in iPhoto '09

hi,
what is the best setting for exporting a slideshow from iPhoto '09?
I'll be burning it with iDVD and it will be watched on a large flat screen TV.
I WAS GOING TO USE THE .MOV option with the default settings but should I use the DV settings?
I've only got time to try it once.
thanks

Honestly there is no answer for that until you do it. A mov will work perfectly fine. But there are variables: The quality and sharpness of the original photos. How they survive being compressed to a mov, how that mov survives being compressed to DVD format. The quality of the DVD player (and no, they are not all the same) and finally the crispness of the screen. If all goes well, yes it will look perfectly good. But you're not going to know until you do it.
