First slide on slideshow from an event pictures

I created a slideshow from event pictures, the first slide of the slideshow is not the first picture of the event and I can not change it.
How can I change the first slide of an event on a slideshow?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Make a album of the event so you can arrange the photos manually in the order you'd like. You can also save the slideshow settings to that album so you don't need to reset them if you use that album again in the future.

Slideshow from randomly selected picture out of selected keywords

Hey dear friends
I wish I would find a function in Aperture or even iPhoto, wherein I can set keywords and a timeslot and the application would give me back a randomly selected set of picture accordingly. At the end it is a feature like GENIUS in iTunes.
This would be very nice for family or friends session to have a look at picture normally forgotten, because not part of a print out or excisting perfectly styled slideshow
Can you share some ideas with me or even stimulate APPLE to create such a feature
Thanks and greetings here from Frankonia waiting for the Spring

The only way to get images randomly in Aperture is to use an AppleScript, Aperture has no built in random functionality.
If you search the list here for random images restricted to the Aperture community you'll find a number of posts discussing this.

How can I fade the first slide in a slideshow in from black?

Novice user here, but I can't seem to find an answer to this question. I've created a couple of slideshow, and have imported them to iDVD to burn the DVDs. When I play the show in iPhoto, they're fine. But when I play a finished DVD (or the demo of the DVD in iDVD), the first slide does not fade in like iPhoto did. It's a really jarring start. I fiddled with Ken Burns effects, but all that seems to do it effect how the slide ends, not how it starts.
How can I start the DVD slide show at black and fade the first slide in, just like iPhoto automatically did?
BTW ... haven't upgrade to the new iLife software yet if that helps.

Hi DogWonder!
if it were me, I think the simplest thing to do is take a photo with the lens cover on the camera, basically a black pic. Now use this one at the beginning of your DVD/Slide Show... or even between slides for a little more drama, if you wanted...
Good luck, Rick

Why does the new Keynote slideshow briefly flash the first slide when multitasking back from another app during a slideshow?

I switch between the Notes Plus app and Keynote app during my lecture. I show the slides in Keynote and when I need to draw sketches and do detailed derivations, I multitask to Notes Plus and use it as my White Board and then return to Keynote to continue my lecture. When I switch back to Keynote, the very first slide flashes once and then advances to the slide from where I left. Before the upgrade of Keynote on Sept 17th, this did not happen. Can this bug be fixed?

I have the same problem but in a different way. I have lots of links to other slides in my presentation, when I click on a link, the next slide flashes and then I see the slide linked. I really hope this can be fixed...

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.

Slideshow Does Not Start at First Slide

Using Keynote '09, I recorded a voiceover for the third slide of a presentation. Now if I play the slideshow, the presentation will not start at slide one. (Yes, I select the first slide to begin. No go.) The presentation begins at the slide with the voiceover. If in Document Inspector I select "normal" or "self-playing," the show begins at the first slide, but there is no sound. When "Recorded" is selected, the voiceover plays, but the slideshow begins with the recorded slide. Any help appreciated.

You're running the slideshow directly from an album or an Event, correct. This has been a problem for a number of users and there's not been a fix discovered.
Many found that creating the slideshow in the slideshow mode will eliminate that problem.
Give us details.

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.

Attached is Dennis Linam’s Audition – “Log File” and “Log – Last File”
Contact information Dennis [email protected]
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

Is it possible to start slideshow from current picture?

Hi,
is it possible to start slideshow from current picture?
Slideshow in Aperture always start from first picture in album.
There is possibility to select bunch of images and than start slideshow and slideshow will use only selected pictures but this is not what I want:
I want it to start from photo that I curently viewing in full scree.
I *do not want* to:
1. exit full screen
2. going to browser
3. than selecting rest of photos
4. than hitting shift+S for slideshow
I just want to hit shift+S and to slideshow starts right from picture that I curently looking.
I hope I was clear enought
Thanx in advance!

If you mean on the phone (like J2ME apps on a cellphone) then the answer is no. However, if you can run the application on the server, then of course.. you just need a way to send a request to the server (e.g. a softkey button which makes a call to http://your-server/path/yourApplication) which triggers the application and does god knows what.

Can't change the first slide in a slideshow

I'm using iPhoto 09, version 8.1.1, (419). When I create a slideshow I am unable to change the first slide in the slideshow. I've tried these alternatives 1) deleted the slide (it won't delete) 2) moving the first slide to follow the second slide 3) moving the second slide to appear before the first slide. In all cases, iPhoto freezes and this requires rebooting iPhoto.
I just experienced this since 12/30. These are moderately sized slideshows (50-200 slides). I am an avid user of iPhoto slideshows and I've never experienced this before. I can't change any of the first slides in about 8 slideshows I've created after Christmas.
Has anyone else encountered this problem? Is anyone else interested in putting together a comprehensive list of recommended changes to iPhoto? It seems that after each new release old problems are fixed and new ones are created that are pretty basic. I am an avid fan of iPhoto but don't understand why the application can be so quirky. Thanks.

Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)

Audio slideshow plays only first slide

I am trying to build a musical slideshow from scratch. I created the slides as jpeg files (6 files, 56 to 80 KB each) and an aiff audio file (27 seconds, 4.6 MB). I follow the QT help instructions - slides in a folder, File > Open Image Sequence in QT, select first to make a slideshow. Then new player, open audio file, copy and paste; then paste slideshow by Edit > Add to Selection and Scale.
The resulting QT movie appears fine, plays and shows all slides just as I wish. But when I save it, quit QT, then double-click on saved file icon, the audio all plays but ONLY THE FIRST SLIDE is shown.
Any suggestions?
Dual 1.25 GHz G4 Mac OS X (10.4.8) QuickTime Pro (7.1.3)

Thanks for the suggestion, but it doesn't help. Here's the exact sequence of my actions:
Launch QuickTime Player
File>New Player -> "Untitled"
File>Open File "audio.aif" [existing file, 4.6 MB]
Edit>Select All
Edit>Copy
click on "Untitled" QT window
Edit>Paste
rewind; plays ok = 27 sec, as intended
File>Open Image Sequence "m1.jpg" in folder containing just this and
5 other files = m2.jpg, m3.jpg, m4.jpg, m5.jpg, m6.jpg
(frame rate = 1 per sec)
-> "Untitled 2"
View>Fit to Screen
View>Play All Frames
plays ok = 6 images in correct sequence, 1 per sec
rewind
View>Play All Frames [deselect]
Edit>Select All ** as suggested by QuickTimeKirk **
Edit>Copy
click on "Untitled"
rewind
Edit>Select All
Edit>Add to Selection and Scale
View>Fit to Screen
last image (6 of 6) shows; rewind;
PLAYS OK = shows 6 images in correct sequence, with audio, total duration
same as Audio.aif
rewind
Edit>Select All
File>Save As "qtmovie.mov"
Quit QuickTime Player
Launch QuickTime Player
File>Open File "qtmovie.mov"
audio plays correctly, but ONLY FIRST FRAME SHOWS

Iphoto Slideshow only plays first slide of album

Ok- this is a new one for me. Never used to happen. I choose an album with 74 pictures, for example. Then when I hit the slideshow icon only the first slide of the album plays in the slideshow. ???

An easy way to select all of the photos in an album is to just click on the album in the Source pane and then start the slideshow. Even though the individual photos don't show blue, as long as the album shows blue it'll do the job.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.

You can't. It's not a user controllable feature.

Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow it displays the pictures in reverse order.

There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album. The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually. Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

Just select, don't open, the event you want to move the flagged photos to. Then the Events ➙ Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event menu will be active.

When running a slideshow from an album it will not run properly if the photos are sorted manually. Sort them by any of the other options, title, date, rating, etc. and it will play correctly.
Send a report of the problem to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
If you must sort them manually create the slideshow in the slideshow mode in iPhoto, not from an album.
