Exporting slideshows successful but no audio

I exported a slideshows from iPhoto 09, but the resulting file has no audio in it. The problem started to occur after I downloaded and run the latest iPhoto update (version 8.0.4).
The slideshows itself can play well (with audio) during "preview" and "play" inside iPhoto. Can someone help resolve this issue? Thanks!
Note: Before the update, I have successfully exporting various slideshows using various themes.

I found a solution to this issue. It is possible that deleting certain preferences fixed it, but the Cache for iPhoto was not allowing the "fix" to work.
So here's what I did (and all of it might not be necessary, but I don't know which fix actually work since I deleted the Cache info in the user folder and it started working again).
Macintosh HD --> Users --> Home Folder --> Library --> Preferences
Deleted the following:
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
com.apple.quicktime.plugin.preferences.plist
com.apple.quicktimeplayer.plist
Macintosh HD --> Users --> Home Folder --> Library --> Caches
I'm assuming you could just dump the com.apple.iPhoto folder BUT I dumped the whole thing (because at this point I was quite frustrated).
It works like a charm now. I wanted to share this with you so that you would know that it has been fixed by someone who had the some problem. I do hope this works for all of you.

Export to FLV but no audio

I have tried so many programs, I'm losing track.
I have QT Pro 7.1.5 and FLV component 2.0. I have MPEG1-Muxed files, which I used 'save as' to create .mov files (tried other software and had no luck). Now, the .mov files I saved are great, but when I Export to FLV, all I get is the video - No Audio.
I have tried MPEG Streamclip, ffmpegX.app, Sorensen Squeeze, etc. and none of them will allow me to export the full video WITH audio.
Does anyone know why this is happening? I'm not very knowledgeable with video, so perhaps I'm doing something wrong?
I've spent hours trying to figure this out, if anyone has any idea what I can do to get these files exported to FLV I would appreciate any help at all. I'm about to give up.
thank you~
PowerBook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) QuickTime Pro 7.1.5

Whoa! Think I'm in way over my head.
There are so many demux settings, but none of the settings really seem to be helpful in this case, unless I'm not understanding the Help file. I still need to sync the video and audio, and I've already edited all the .mov files, so I'm not sure this would work. I definitely wouldn't want to edit all the files all over again and risk a sync problem in the end. ( I just wasted a week working on these files to publish 30 min. clips, audio only clips, editing the timelines, adding graphics, etc.) Then I'm supposed to publish FLV and WMV files for this client.
I was hoping QuickTime "Pro" was going to be the solution to this stuff but looks like my time is up. I think I'll hit PANIC now.

Question: exporting slideshows

I have a slideshow with music saved in both iPhoto and Aperture. But when I try to export it, all I am exporting is one slide. I've tried to snag all the slides, and they seem to be selected, but again when I hit export all I send is slide one. I have successfully exported slideshows before--but can't seem to do it now.

Is this slideshow in an album or in the iPhoto slideshow mode? If in the slideshow mode click on it in the left hand pane and use the Export button at the bottom of the window. Is that what you're trying?
If so and it doesn't work try this: launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists.
If the problem does not exist in the new library then the culprit is your current library. In that case
make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
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 the problem exists in the new library it's a wider problem so try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
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 down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Export slideshow or Combine 2 projects

I have several projects with slideshows. I want to get all the slide show sinto one project. Can this be done?
Can I export and reimport a slide show? Can I merge two projects together?

I was waiting to see if anyone had an answer for you. I don't see any way to combine projects or export slideshows. But, there is a work around. When you render a slideshow, each slide is saved as a preview .AVI file complete with it's motion. Each transition is also saved as a preview .AVI. The previews have names like Rendered - cc733c01-19b5-40a7-a9e6-6b6e37d57d52.AVI. You can import these rendered files to a timeline, put them back in order and have what looks exactly like your original slideshow. Unfortunately, this is a lot of work; almost as much as rebuilding the show from scratch.
While the Slideshow feature in Encore is convenient, it's pretty limited. In the future, you might want to consider building your slideshows in Premiere with chapter markers at the beginning of each slide. You have so much more creative control over where you pan to and exactly how much you zoom in or out. You also have access to filters like Levels and Shadow/Highlight that can really improve your presentation.

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
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 and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was 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.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

Video but no audio when exporting from iPhoto

I have very small (30 sec) clips of video from a digital camera downloaded into iPhoto. When I export or share a clip to QuickTimePro 7, iMovie, my desktop, or e-mail the video goes, but no audio. I have tried so many different ways, I can't even remember what I've done. Can anyone help? I'm at my wits end, and it's a video of my baby laughing for the first time and I want to send it to everyone!!!

With the video open in the QuickTime Player, choose Show Movie Properties from the Window menu, click on the Resources tab, control-click on the entry which contains the file's location on your computer, and choose Show in Finder from the menu which appears. Once the file has been located, download MPEG Streamclip and use it to convert the file; save the converted file on the desktop.

Exporting movies or videos but no audio (sound)

I recently bought the quicktime pro 7 which I was told by comp.usa, would work. It took me awhile to export the video to my Ipod but still can't get any audio. Anyone have any solutions? They made it sound so easy at the store,lol.

I had the same problem as you. I tried exporting my movies but quicktime bailed on me so I decided to give Videora a shot and it works. I converted my .avi to .mp4 and then manually add the .mp4 movie into my iPod. It comes on just fine. Sound and video just works great.

No Music in exported slideshow

I have read all the threads in this forum but have yet to see a solution to this problem.
I created simple slideshow, created a non-DRM playlist with one song in iTunes and attached the music track to the slideshow. It plays fine within iPhoto but when I export it, i get no audio. I have tried several export types but they all do the same thing. Any help would be appreciated.
Randy

Having same problem - no music in exported slideshow, even though it plays fine when watching in iPhoto. There are no issues with name or path of the song used, so I don't think that is the problem.
I have 44 slides in my slideshow, using the classic theme, and many of the slides have different length. When I test what I'm doing with a simple 3 slide slideshow using the same music, the export works fine, but just can't get it to work no matter what I do with the full, 44 slide slideshow. It is extremely frustrating as I have done this successfully before. Any suggestions?

Exporting Slideshows in Different Formats

Ok everyone, I'm having a few problems. I just recently ugraded to iPhoto 5.0.4 and everything is fine and dandy, but I'm wondering if there's any way that I can export slideshows that I create in different formats. Let me explain my situation; I'm a high school student in an Advanced Biology class, and our class has it's own website for the projects we do. My teacher has asked me to try to figure out a way to create slideshows with all the pictures we have for the different projects, then save/export them in a format that we can post on a web page. A friend of mine recommended that we make a page with links so that people could select their connection speed and format that they would like to download the file in, for example QuickTime, Real Player, Windows Media, Flash, etc... I've figured out how to export the files in QuickTime and Real Player compatible formats, but that's it. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, thank you.
Jarrett

Criag:
Yes, iPhoto doesn't support the 16:9 format for exporting. I suggest you useiMovie HD 6. It's still available to Mac users who have iLife 08 and are not pleased with the new iMovie which has been dumbed down from the V6 version. If you add the 16:9 photos to it you can export to that ratio. Also you'll have much more control over the audio trachs being able to cut out portions, fad in and out, overlap 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Help in export slideshow in Aperture 3

I had created a slideshow and attached an audio clip. When I preview it Aperture, everything is fine. But after I export it into .mov format(even in Apple TV or 720P) also lose the audio sound. Any suggest?

If it has DRM, I don't think Aperture will allow you export it, but I just did a test with a song from the iTunes store that did export. (This was only a test: I wouldn't steal someone's music.) I know iTunes store stopped putting DRM on songs sometime ago though. Don't know how to check if it has DRM.

DVD will burn successfully but cannot be read in any DVD player

I have created a film using Final Cut Pro 7. I have exported as a Quicktime Movie file, used converter to make DVD MPEG-2 and DVD Dolby Audio. I import these files as assets onto DVD Studio Pro (v4.2.2) and add to my project which plays perfectly as we want it to on the Simulation.
When I do either the One Click Burn or Build and Format to burn, the process runs smoothly and says it's successful but no DVD player will recognise the disc. This ranges from top of the line Sony Blu-Ray/DVD players to various other basic DVD players...
How can we get to view these DVDs?

You made an HD DVD. Go back into preference and change it to SD and start over.

Windows Server Backup scheduled task run successfully but backup do not start (not running) on Windows Server 2012

Hi,
A backup job has been setup on Windows Server 2012 (Platform: Win32NT; ServicePack: ; Version: 6.2.9200.0; VersionString : Microsoft Windows NT 6.2.9200.0) via Windows Backup Software UI (Local Backup 1.0).
It is appearing as a scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup" belonging to user 'nt authority\system' in task scheduler.
The problem is that the Backup job never start despite the scheduled task running and completing successfully (when run automatically or manually)!
Would you be able to explain why and assist in resolving that issue?
Here is what we know:
When the backup is run manually via the Windows Backup Software UI, it works fine.
When the backup is run via command line (as set in schedule task) in a cmd command prompt (as local/domain 'administrator' or as 'nt authority\system' which is possible by running command prompt via 'PsExec.exe -i -s cmd'), something like "%windir%\System32\wbadmin.exe
start backup -templateId:{f11eb3aa-74e7-4ff4-a57b-d8d567ee3f77} -quiet", it works fine.
If you manually run the preset scheduled task while logged in as administrator, the task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
Idem if you schedule task is run automatically at scheduled time.
The schedule task run and complete successfully but the backup job does not start.
It is confirmed by running the following in a command prompt as 'nt authority\system':
schtasks /run /tn "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup"
SUCCESS: Attempted to run the scheduled task "\Microsoft\Windows\Backup\Microsoft-Windows-WindowsBackup".
Despite success result, the Backup job does not start running...
No errors or warning appears anywhere in Event Logs (Microsoft > Windows > Backup or Task Scheduler) nor in the scheduled task History tab. The schedule task complete successfully but no Backup job is run...
If scheduled task automatically set by Windows Backup software is duplicated (copied) and set manually it runs fine as 'administrator' and as 'nt authority\system' (subject that 'nt authority\system' is added to the 'Backup Operators' AD group).
Here is an export of the current pre-set schedule task, is there any settings that need to be changed to make it works?

Thank you in advance for your feedback.

Once again, the issue is not to run the backup manually from the command line but to have it run via the scheduled task setup by the Windows Backup software.
By default, the schedule task is to be run as NT Authority\System, and when run under this account, the backup does not start (even though account is member of Backup Operators) and job can manually be run via elevated command prompt. This is not a normal
behavior and constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012.
From my understanding the NT Authority\System account is a built-in account from Windows that should by default be part of the Administrators group (built-in) even though it does not explicitly appears like it in AD by default.
This account shall have by default Administrators rights and Backup Operators rights (via the Administrators group) without being explicitly added to those groups (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/windows/desktop/ms684190%28v=vs.85%29.aspx). By design
it is supposed to be the most powerful account which has unrestricted access to all local system resources. If that is not the case (as it seems) then this would constitute a major bug in Windows Server 2012 edition.
As said previously and as you confirmed, currently by default NT Authority\System on Windows 2012 server cannot start backup manually via an elevated command prompt unless it is manually added to Backup Operators (or Administrators) group. But wouldn't that
constitute a bug of Windows Server 2012?
Our server has not yet been restarted since I added NT Authority\System account to the Administrators group explicitly manually so I cannot yet confirmed it would sort the issue. Indeed it is heavily in use so cannot easily be restarted. Will confirm when
done.
We also have an additional problem where after a while of last reboot, part of the Exchange ECP can no longer be properly loaded in the web browser due to compilation error (compilation is done via NT Authority\System account which seems to no longer have
sufficient right to compile .NET code). What is strange is that it works at first and then stop working at some point... I am hopeful that adding NT Authority\System to the Administrators group would sort this issue as well but once again, that shall not be
needed!!!
Could a Windows Server 2012 update introduced some security policy changes or else that prevent NT Authority\System to have full power?

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

(Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.) How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ? (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB; Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast. When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported. At future events soon, I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them. Any help will be greatly appreciated. A.Z.

How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD. It only can export a video of your slideshow.
In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring. Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 not export slideshows?

Why does iPhoto 9.5.1 stall when I try to export a slideshow, using OS 10.9.3? All steps have been completed, and the preview works fine, but the system hangs up at the "Exporting Slideshow" progress window. The bar never fills. Nada!

Does this only happen for one particular slideshow? Test by creating another, short slideshow using different photos. Can you export this test slideshow? If yes, then probably one of your photos cannot be processed. Duplicate your slideshow and try to find the problematic photo by removing photos from the slideshow and trying again.
If you cannot export any slide at all, create a new iPhoto library for testing. Use iPhoto's "File" menu to create a new library: File > Switch to library > Other/New. Import a few photos and try to export a Slideshow. If exporting from a new library works, try to repair or rebuild your regular iPhoto library.
You rebuild the library by launching either iPhoto while holding down the key combination⌥⌘ (option-command) and double-clicking the iPhoto icon. Keep holding down the keys, until you are seeing the Library First Aid panel. Select to "Repair" the database.
If that does not suffice, try "Rebuild".
Back up your library before rebuilding.

Mpeg video plays in iTunes, but no audio on iPod

I have a 10 minute video that plays fine in iTunes 7.0.1.8 on Widows XP. I did the "Convert Selection for iPod", which then allowed me to download the video.
However, when I play the video on the iPod, there is no sound.
The article "iPod plays video but not audio of some exported files" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302588
describes this same condition, and attributes it to "muxed audio".
The suggestion to do "Show Movie Info" in Quicktime Player did not confirm the format as "MPEG1 Muxed" or "MPEG2 Muxed". Instead the Format field has ", 25971 x 28257, unknown" - kind of an unsatisfactory description.
The video file plays fine in Qucktime Player, it plays fine in iTunes - but it has lost all audio on the iPod.
Does anybody have a fix for this?
Dave

First, make sure you are running the most recent update on your iPod.
Second, what are you using to convert your video? Have you tried purchasing any of the videos from iTunes? Do they work okay??
