FrontRow bug playing slide shows with music on remote share

I found a new bug with FrontRow playing slideshows using music stored on a shared drive. I tried with AFP & NFS shares, but I suspect the same will apply to SMB shares. Here are the steps to repro the problem:
1) Define a new iTunes playlist
2) Add songs to the playlist from a shared drive
3) Define a new album and add photos to it.
4) Hit play -> Music and choose the iTunes playlist you just defined. Click on "Save Settings"
5) Go to FrontRow, locate your album and play it. After a few seconds, in which FR appears to time out, it will play the album with music from the standard library, instead of your iTunes library.
WORKAROUND: Play the Album from iPhoto, only a couple of seconds, enough for iPhoto to pick the right music from your iTunes playlist. Next time you go to FR and play the album it will chose the correct music.

I don't know what MB Pro you have... 2008 early/late, 2009, mid 2010, etc. ???
Also, what Audio inputs are available for your HDTV?
Not knowing these things for sure, here are your options:
1. If the HDTV has "Optical Audio" input then you can use this cable to get audio (regardless of what model MBP you have) This kind of audio input is often referred to as Toslink.
I resolved the problem on my machine unexpectedly
2. If the HDTV only has RCA stereo inputs then you need this cable (again regardless of MBP model)

If you do have Toslink available on the TV, that is the better choice. Also a perk with Toslink is it even provides 5.1 surround sound capability which is available from your MBP.
As for your Macbook Pro, only the current 2010 models provide audio and video via the mini display port. So, if you your MBP is new, you could use this adapter, mini display to HDMI, then run a standard HDMI cable to your TV.

Earlier MBP that have Minidisplay port only provide video out so you'd still need #1 or #2 above to deliver audio.
If your MBP has DVI port for video, that as well only provides a video signal so #1 or #2 above would apply.
This should cover all of the possibilities.

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded from my camera. I would like to burn these to a blank DVD, but there appears to be no utility for export to a DVD for slide shows. Help. I want to distribute DVD copies to classmates

Hi, I made a slide show with music from 81 photos I downloaded to iphoto from my camera. I would like to burn the slide show to DVD, but can't make this happen. How do I go about doing this?

If the DVD is to play on a DVD Player, then Share -> Send to iDVD as iDVD is the only app that creates the correct file structure and format for this purpose.
If the DVD is just to hold the file, then Export to the desktop and burn with the Finder.

I'm trying to share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I have tried several times to save at 1080 HD, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying "File already open with write permission." What's this mean?

I'm trying to finalize/share to Media Browser a 20 minute still slide show with music and text. I'd like to finalize it 1080 hd and have tried several times, but just before it's finished, a message box pops up saying it can't be done because "File already open with with write permission." What does this mean? All files are closed; this iMovie project is the only thing open. Does it mean one of the song files from iTunes? And should I just settle for saving it as a "large" file, which is what I'm trying right now?
Thanks,
Jamie

What cable do I need to run a slide show with music on a projector at a meeting? I have a Mac Book Pro.

Hi jackwyatt,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you would like to connect your MacBook Pro to a projector to output the display and sound, the cables and adapters you need will vary depending on the specific model MacBook Pro that you have.
I recommend this page for getting a good idea of which adapters you might need:
About Apple video adapters and cables
Additionally, the tips in this article can also apply to using a projector as a display:

All the best,

HD computer-based slide show with music

I've been asked to do a 1024x768 slide looped slide show with background music. I know using Encore slide show to make a DVD will not supply the HD requirement. If I can play the show on a PC, I can output to a digital projector at that resolution and to an audio amplifier and speakers. Many programs will do PC slide shows for 1024x768 images, but I haven't found any that will sync to wav or MP3 audio and loop the package. Does anyone have a recommendation within or outside Adobe software?

Premiere Pro might do what you need here.
It will certainly handle the HD part, but you're gonna need a serious system to set this up.
Premiere's HD editing will go to the following resolutions:
1440x1080 @ 16:9
960x720 @ 16:9
After Effects will do 1280x1080 @ 16:9
1024x768 is not an HD spec resolution.
It might be supported under WMV though.

What is best app for photo slide show with music

Photoshop, Elements, or LR - for photo slide show with music

Are those the only choices you want to consider? Which do you already use? Here's my take on the slideshow capability in each:
Photoshop CS6 and CC: You can create slieshows in a video format but you will have to crawl through hoops and climb barrels to get what you want. The timeline feature of Photoshop is not exactly intuitive.
Elements: Can't comment since I have never used the software.
Lightroom: much easier than Photoshop to create a slideshow but also extremely feature limited. Slideshows can run directly from the software or rendered as a video. Only one music track is allowed with limtied transitions effects. Want the fabled 'Ken Burns' effect? Forget it!
Neither of these choices specifically target slideshow creation and I would certainly not pick any for this purpose (unless you already use them). Best to seek software dedicated for slideshows. Several are free.

Why does my slide show with music crash back to the album on Retina display?

I really enjoy making slide shows that have music on iphotonand have done it for years. Suddenly after working with slide shows and music on my new Mac Book Pro 15" with retina display the slide show crashes back to the album display after the first slide. The title comes up, the music starts the first slide comes up and then it just stops and goes back to the album display. Everything was working fine until Sunday when I installed the new Iphoto.

Ok, people. No one helped me on this one, I figured it out by myself. There is a new section in Iphoto called "slideshows" and if you move the album from which you want to make a slideshow there the slideshow and music work perfectly together with the benefit that now you and store different music with each slide show that I hadn't been able to do before.
Mystery solved.

I made a slide show with music and random transitions in iPhoto. I can't burn it to a DVD. The burn button in iPhoto is not highlighted, and when I exported the slide show to iDVD, it lost the random transistions, and the disk won't play in DVD player.

Two problems: 1. My iphoto slide show loses its random transitions when I export it to iDVD.
2. When I then burn it to a disk, the disk will not play in a DVD player, but only on my MAC.
Any ideas?

The random transitions can only be random when played in iPhoto.
If you are in the slideshow mode and use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option a quictime movie will be created of the slideshow with the first random set of transitions and imported into iDVD. The transitions, however, will be fixed permanently and will not be changed again.
There is no way to get any sort of random behavior in an iDVD. When it's burned to disk it's locked permanently.

I just created a slide show with music and tried to export it to a thumb drive to play on another computer. File seemed too large and slow to export, so I deleted the music. Now, I can't get the music back on it and don't know what to do...

Can't export my slide show. Is the file too big? Tried to export without music. Now, can't get the music back into it.

If you want help you’ll need to give us more information. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Ipad: photo slide show with music problem.

Using the ipad, looking at my photo's, I select a photo, select slide show and knowing that I have already set the play music with slide show, I then press the Airplay icon. Seconds later the slide show starts on the Apple TV, but there is no music. I have checked the settings in the photo app and the music is selected in the slide show settings, what have I not done, or is there a bug in Airplay?

I am a hybrid sort of guy. I have a bland Acer desktop with Windows 7 hard-wired to a Netgear WNDR3700 router. My AppleTV is connectected optically to a set of self-powered speakers. The Sony TV is connected to the same speakers through the analog RCA output and to the Apple TV via HDMI. The AppleTV slideshow works fine with the photos from my desktop. I can simultaneously stream music from iTunes on my desktop through the self-powered speakers via the optical connection. I am currently working on a slideshow of Christmases Past while playing my Xmas playlist from iTunes. So I get photos and music simultaneously but they are not strictly connected to each other. Kind of klutzy work-around, but my family seems impressed.

Sound cuts out on DVD slide shows with music

I have tried 5 DVD slide show programs with the same result. Hewlett Packard says my hardware is OK but I have a compatability problem. My wife has the same compaint. Can you help with my computer?

Before doing anything with the computer in question, backup all the music files in question to either a flash drive or CD. Try that music, etc on an independent computer, either friend's or at a library to see if the files are good and do not exhibit the problems that are being observed on the computer in question. If they play OK elsewhere, then try the "Recovery Partition Manager" to return the computer to "like from the factory". With all the software experimenting, it could be a problem between the different software installs. Once the computer is "like from the factory" again, then try to play the music that was backed up on the "factory fresh" installation without any other software installs. Report back on how that goes.

Slide show with music software - any recommendations?

Hi All! Just bought a macbook (1st mac) and loving it, although I feel like an 80yr old with my first computer!

It would need to let me create it all on my mac, burn it to cd then send to people to play with a pc. With my Pc I used pictures to exe, is there something similar for my mac, either free or to buy?
Any help would my mucho appreciated!!
Thanks

but to burn a dvd or imovie i presume i would need a DVD disk which is different to a normal cd? (sorry basic knowledge in these areas)
Yes a DVD is different and has lots more storage area. Did your computer come with the SuperDrive? That is the one that will allow burning DVDs.
When I have looked at recordable dvd's before there were 2 types + and -
if I could get dvds could I use both types??
Yes they both should work I use Verbatim DVD+R which work best for me. You may find certain disks work better for you.
Can each type be played on all computers?
Yes they should be compatible with any computer that has a DVD player built in. They can also be recorded to play on a stand alone dvd over TV.

How can I send a slide show (with music) to different people?

I made a slide show on my MAC desktop for my son's memorial service. I would like to share it with people who were not able to be there. Can I share over email
or is there another way? Please help, if you can...it really means a lot to me!

Sorry for your loss.
Sharing video via email is not advisable.
Many email services have an attachment limit of 20mb and some a limit of 10mb. As emails are sent through an array of relays, the effective limit is the smallest file size allowed on any of the relays. That means that video is rarely suitable for emailing. Then there's the whole issue of Codecs and not all machines will have the codecs to play all videos. Plus, folks with slower connections can find it very inconvenient to download large video files.
Finally, sharing video from iPhoto via email is not supported. All that gets you is the Movie thumbnail. If you feel you must share via email then you'll need to export the video first, and attach that. Use the File -> Export command and set the kind to Original.
This User Tip
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
has details of the options in the Export dialogue.
Other than that your options include:
Upload it to a sharing site like YouTube or Vimeo and email a link - these will allow the recipient to view the material online. That will avoid the codec issues mentions, and the person can still download the video file if they wish.
Upload it to sharing services like Dropbox or YouSendIt and email a link. This will require that they download the material to their machines to view.

How do I make my keynote or iMovie slide show (with music) into a DVD, without iDVD as I don't have it and you can no longer purchase from Apple.

I am new to Apple, since Oct '11. ( iDVD did not come with this laptop). I am making a slide show in keynote and can't download to iDVD to make it into a DVD that I can play on any home player. As far as I know, I need to make it into a quicktime file, then find some 3rd party software to convert to DVD. Has anyone had any luck with this. I think I may just purchase an old copy of iLife from Amazon...
