Front Row andiPhoto slideshow

When I use the photos in frontrow, and want to watch a slideshow, the music starts up automatically, whether I want it or not. And even if I did want music, it picks the first song that is in my library automatically, and this is not necessarily the song I want.
One, can you set the slideshow in Frontrow to not play music? and second, can you chose the actual song to play when you do want music.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Russell

I hate to be thick, but where is the music preference in the iPhoto application.
Also, what do you mean by "Library slideshow in the source list?"
Do you have to set up the slideshow in iPhoto, keep it, and then it will play it in Frontrow?
Again, I don't mean to be thick, I just can't get it to stop playing that one song when I watch a slideshow on Frontrow.
Thanks in advance.

  • Videos doesn't play in Front Row photos slideshows...

    Well that's a really annoying problem that I was hoping it would be fixed in Snow Leopard, but IT DIDN'T!
    When you are in iphoto and select an album ( which contains photos & videos) for slideshow..everything is fine!
    In contrast to this, when you select the same album in front row for slideshow, the videos don't play and instead of this you get a black screen.
    I have tried this to many machines in Applestores and all behave exactly the same

    Fouster - you seem alone, but you're not.
    I just bought a new Mac Mini to set up as my HTPC (if it passes the wife test..!). I settled on Front Row over Plex for now, since the latter still feels half baked/overly ambitious. When I came to setting up the Photo part, I got the exact same problem you are describing. Nothing but blackness, where video clips should play, and for what seems to be the duration of the actual clip. iPhoto plays them beautifully. What gives?
    I have seen other threads where this question got archived without a fix or even a response.
    Someone seemed to have fixed it by removing QT7 Pro properly since there was some conflict with QTX. I have a mint Mini, so shouldn't be my issue.
    Maybe it has to do with some obscure CODEC missing in QT - I have Perian and Flip4Mac installed but will try further using this link:

    I'll keep you posted. This is some moral support for now.

  • Ugh. help me if you can!  Proplem w/  front-row.  no music on slideshow

    forgive me if this is a small problem that I should be able to resolve on my own.
    When using Front Row to access a slideshow, the music that I added to the show doesn't play! Yet, when I launch the show from iPhoto, it plays. This happens on only one particular slideshow. ..I did delete the "plist" for iPhoto, but this didn't fix it (this was a sort of "fix all" tip that I found using the help menu.)
    Any suggestions? Front Row is pretty cool - I'd hate to not be able to use it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Yes, thank you, i realised that headphones with noise canceling are something i must get....but, i cant belive that the same headphones with touch and nano produce such dramatic different experience...i can hardly belive that nano has better what..sound procesor, amplifier than touch...it shouldent be that way.
    i am thinking it must have something to do with ..say latest regulations regarding volume imput in some countries or what, and i thought that it must be the program that cansels it..or so..since i have wireless on this thing.

  • Front Row 2.0; no music during slideshow?

    Would I be right in thinking that Front Row 2.0 has removed the option of playing iTunes Music whilst viewing an iPhoto slide show?

    So I just have the same problem? Is thier anyone who has emailed Apple to see if they know how to fix this?
    I play a slideshow in iPhoto and all the iTunes that I have CHECKED and are in that playlist will play.
    However - in Front Row the same slide show that I created in iPhoto will not play any music. For some reason it used to play only ONE of the songs - which was the 1st song in the play list - and then it would repeat it. So me being me.. stubborn..I kept trying to get it to play all the songs in the playlist (by friggin with iTunes setting and iPhoto settings) and NOW I have no music what-so-ever, not even the sample music.
    Any one have any ideas? This really bugs me, and yep - I know that I can simply play the show in iPhoto - but man it is nice to use that remote and have things simply work..
    Anyone?
    Thanks!

  • IPhoto Slideshow music settings/Front Row

    I recently purchase a Mac Mini to use as a media center PC. I have imported photo's into iPhoto and configured slide shows with appropriate music ... in iPhoto all these settings work fine. When I access these photo's via Front Row
    however, each of the slide shows plays with Minuet in G and my iPhoto music settings are ignored. any thoughts would be most welcome on how to have my iPhoto slide show music recognized with Front Row.
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Well I may have found my answer ... If I run slideshows in Front Row from
    Photos/Events I have the Minuet in G problem ... if I create albums in iPhoto and run the Event from within an album, the music selected in this album slideshow holds in Front Row ... at any rate it works for me!

  • Front Row: no Audio in slideshows?

    I made a slideshow in iPhoto and connected it with some music.
    It worked fine in iPhoto.
    Using Front Row I couldn't present the show, because there was no sound!
    Support told me that in the new Front Row of Leopard sound is not supported for slideshows!!???
    Can that be true?
    Did someone make the same experience?
    Is it possible to get the old Front Row back?

    Nonsense, no problem here with the sound of a slideshow
    I don't know about the people employed for support any more. Somebody else on this forum was told some similar fib by this so-called support. He was told that his Powerbook couldn't read dual-layer DVD's, which is absolute nonsense, as is your answer about Front Rows sound.
    Is this Apple support you are talking about?

  • Slideshows are Choppy in Front Row

    Hi all, thanks in advance for any advice you may have.
    I can view slideshows smoothly when played directly from iphoto. However, when I view the same slideshow from within Front Row, there is a slow down when transitioning from one image to the next. This means the show gets out of sync with the music. I use the slideshows for my business, so this is unacceptable.
    I'm fairly certain that this started happening with I upgraded to from Leopard to Snow Leopard.
    Any ideas on what I could try to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Andrew

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Have you also inquired over in the Front Row forum? Your situation hasn't been discussed before here as far as I can tell.
    Try clearing out iPhoto's cache folder, User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto, and rebuild the library's database, backup and launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed to rebuild the library. Select the last three options.
    Click to view full size
    See if that makes any difference.
    If the slideshows are critical you might want to consider creating them as QT movies so the music stays in sync and playing the movies in Front Row.

  • Front Row, slideshow & music

    While using Front Row to play a slideshow, the same song always plays. I can't find any way to set the music to the slideshow. Can anyone help on this problem?

    Hi Ray,
    In iPhoto, click on slide show. On the bottom bar you´ll see an icon for iTunes which lets you set the music.

  • Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

    Hello:
    I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
    I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
    Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
    Thanks,

    Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
    So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

  • Front Row Won't Play Slideshow Music (iTunes)

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto and selected an iTunes playlist as my music source. When I play the slideshow from Front Row the music does not play. However, if I play a photo event from Front Row the default music does play. Why won't my slideshow play the music?
    Please advise.

    Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x has been broken the whole time. It used to work fine in Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger). Front Row will not play an iTunes playlist during a slideshow if the playlist contains more than one song. You can use a playlist that only has one song in it, but then you might as well just choose a single song instead of a playlist! I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
    For what it's worth, iPhoto seems to work fine with slideshows and iTunes playlists with more than one song.

  • Slideshows in Front Row Wrong

    When I preview a slideshow in iPhoto, it does what I want, including Ken Burns effects set for each slide and a particular song out of iTunes. When I play the same slideshow in Front Row, it plays the wrong music and wrong Ken Burns effects. How do I get Front Row to play slideshow same as in iPhoto?

    Update - My fault. I was selecting the photo albums in Front Row, not the slideshows. Duhh. The slideshows work correctly. Forget all this.

  • Front Row slideshow Help!

    Is there any way to change the default '3 seconds' used for Front Row slideshows? I want to do this without specifically creating a slideshow in iPhoto to change the slide time.
    As a related matter, can the default slideshow settings be changed for iPhoto also?
    My Mom has an iMac and I'd like her to be able to use Front Row to view her iPhoto pics. But 3 seconds is way too fast for her sight, so I need to figure out a fix for this!

  • Front Row can't slideshow same named album

    This is what i noticed and thought i'd just share my problems. In front row, i use folders to organize my artwork, so like Project A will have a ProjectAfolder and have multiple albums: illustration, concept, roughs, etc... projectBfolder also has the same setup: illustrations, concepts, etc.
    So in Front Row, if i goto Project B and select to slideshow the Illustration Album, but it'll play whichever folder was named Illustration first (in this example, photos from Project A would play).
    So i take it same name albums is a no-go for Front Row. Anyone else have the same experience? I'd go and rename em all, but i have too many project folders that i'd rather just slide show straight from Iphoto than goto Front Row.

    For clarity, the problem is that Front Row can't open iTunes in the background as it always did before. So it can't access the library for playing songs and movies, reason why it remains stuck when I try to do so.
    I have Front Row 1.3.1 (the last version available for Tiger users, right?) and iTunes 8.0.2. My system is fully updated and kept well. So I think there is a kind of compatibility bug between Front Row 1.3.x and iTunes 8, in fact Leopard users with Front Row 2 installed are not experiencing troubles.
    Hope someone at Apple can do a check on Front Row 1.3 and solve this with a fix.

  • Assigning a music playlist to a slideshow -- similar to Front Row

    I don't yet have a AppleTV, but considering one -- the main reason is to view photos. With Front Row, say you create "slideshow A" with music from an iTunes playlist "set A" and "slideshow B" with music from playlist "set B". When you play back "slideshow A" you'll always hear set A music and when you play "slideshow B" you'll always hear set B music. I've read AppleTV doesn't work this way and you can not assign a specific music playlist to a specific slideshow or photo album. Is this true?

    Yes and No, but essentially No.
    It is possible to set specific music to play during a slideshow but it will apply to every slideshow. So hence it would be necessary to choose your music before commencing any slideshow if you wanted specific music to play.
    There is another option which might be difficult to explain since you don't have an tv but here goes: a slideshow on the tv isn't the same as a slideshow in iphoto. Generally most people will sync photo albums to the tv, the tv will then add music and transitions to those pictures depending on which music and transition options you have chosen on the tv, hence what I said above.
    As you likely know, iphoto can create its own slideshows that include music and transitions depending on the options you choose in iphoto. If you sync these slideshows to the tv rather than photo albums then the tv will ignore its own settings and use the settings you have chosen in iphoto instead, providing you have synced that music to the tv also.

  • Can't play music from shared slideshow using Front Row (or iPhoto)

    Can anyone play a shared slideshow and have the music from that shared slideshow play in Front Row?
    I can't get the sound to come through either in iPhoto or Front Row.
    It seems to me that you should be able to do this.
    1. We can play shared music.
    2. We can play shared photos and slideshows
    3. But I can't play shared slideshows with the selected music from that shared slideshow..........
    Anyone.... ?
    I don't think this is possible at this time but would like to know for sure if anyone else can do this?

    Heya Joseph,
    Yes you can play shared music in front row.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh1655.html
    Now as far as a slideshow I would think so as well as the authorization for that music comes from iTunes to iPhoto.
    Heya Justin,
    Remove the following files to the trash (do not empty until you test for function):
    ~/library/caches
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.itunes.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.frontrow.plist
    ~/library/preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist
    - Open iPhoto - then quit
    - Open iTunes - then quit
    - Repair your permissions - > http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=DiskUtility/10.5/en/duh17.html
    - Restart your computer again
    - Test and see how its working
    Hope that helps!
