How can I keep detailed info with a slide show?

Does anyone know a good way to keep explanatory info available with slide show images while viewing a show that's burned to dvd? (Example: Historic details about various sites visited on a trip).
I'm referring to details beyond the minimal info that can be placed in the file title. In iPhoto, such information can be entered in the Comments box, and so long as the original image is retained in the iPhoto library, I suppose that if the show on dvd is imported to and shown in iPhoto or iDVD, the detail info could be accessed, although that may necessitate interrupting the show. Is there any way to have such info readily available if the dvd were played on someone else's computer or on a TV via a dvd player?
I can see no way other than perhaps to create a separate text file, which could be burned to the same dvd and then if played on a computer, could be referred to while pausing the show or it could be printed out befpre running the show.
I suspect there's a way to record a vocal description and add it in iDVD or iMovie, but that seems like more effort than I desire for my amateur use. I believe some photo edit programs could overlay each image with text or create a separate photo image with text, but that seems like a lot of effort too, and I wouldn't want that unless it could be shown as a separate slide.

Mackerel, meet MSM. MSM, meet Mackerel. You two are peas in a pod, at least with respect to your slide show plans and needs.
What you both want to do is exactly what presentation programs like PowerPoint and Keynote are made for. You could also do a version of it in Adobe Acrobat, and you could even cobble up some sort of horrible kludgy substitute in Word or any other word processor that can hold photographs (though the resulting document would be so enormous it might handle at truly glacial speed).
What you can't do in any of these programs, or in any other that I know of, is automate the placement of a text block that's associated with each picture. That you'd have to do manually. So if you don't like work, you'll either have to find another application that does the job without you, or hand your text out in printed form.

Hi
When I burn that slide show on a DVD and I put the DVD in my DVD reader, conected to the television, the quality of the images become very poor.
What's appens ??
As I see it - it falls back on that DVD is as STANDARD only Interlaced SD-Video at it's best (even commercial made ones)
The Quality You see on Your Mac is prior to this down-scaling process.
If You need higher quality (and this includes several problems)
• DVDs can not be used
• You can try Blu-Ray (short one on DVD disks) - BUT You also need a Blu-Ray Player as a PlayStation 3 (you also need a program that can author BD-Disks as Roxio Toast™)
• You can try to Export as HD and to an USB-Memory stick - if You have any device that can take this
• You can connect a Mac to a big sized flat-screen TV - and playback this way
End of ideas.

If you have two iphone 4s on the same Itunes account how can you keep seperate info on each phone i.e contacts and apps etx

My wife and I have Iphone 4s phones, and the same itunes account on two laptops, when she started her phone for the first time all my contacts were deleted how can we have seperate details on each phone, or do we need seperate accounts

Thanks for the help. Took a bit of time and I'll need her phone (when she's back) to get it all straight...I think! :-)

How can I create a DVD (not CD) slide show with PSE8. Is the only option CD?

Do I need to upgrade to PSE9 for the DVD option for slide show output?

No, you can't create a video dvd with just PSE, and PSE 9 is no different from any other version where this is concerned. (Adobe wants you to use Premiere Elements.) However, if you have a DVD burner, you must have gotten some kind of software with it that can make a DVD for you. Create your slideshow, output as WMV and then use your other software to burn the actual video disc.

How can I count detail information without having it show up in my results

I'm trying to count the number of sales orders within specific value ranges such as 0 to 100, 100 to 200, ect. I can get the count but only when the order number is on the report. Is there someway to count the orders and place them in the Bins without having a line show up for each order.

Put the BINS column in the "Sections" area. This will split the rows for each BIN group. Now you can apply the "sigma sign" aggregation to the rows and see the total for each BIN.
Expected result is to have one row per BIN group with the total of your measure for each BIN.
If this is not what you are looking for, give a mock up of what you see in your pivot table.
Having said all this, if you're going to be working with a million rows, you'd best break the query up into separate queries. Build one Report for each BIN group and place each in its own section of a dashboard.
What you can do is rename each section of the dashboard to the name of the BIN group and delete the Title View of each Report. The dashboard can then be defaulted to a collapsed state showing the names of each Report (the BINS of each group). In effect, you are using the Dashboard as a giant pivot table with the Sections as the BINS. The reports are smaller and you can have your total for each BIN.
This is what I would recommend.

How can I add comments to an iPhoto slide show that will appear onscreen?

I have put together a slide show on iPhoto (6.0.6) and I'd like to have a line of text appear with several of the slides - things like "Beginning our hike - " and "Closing ceremonies". I haven't been able to find anything in the help to describe how to do that - can it be done? Thanks.

shcram:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's an AppleScript that will take the contents of the comments field and put them in the Title field so they will display on a slideshow. When you're done you can use the Batch Change menu option to revert the Title to the file names. See my post here for the link to the script: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=5400478&#5400478

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.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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 08 libraries. 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.

Where can I READ how to combine an audio file with a slide show

I need to make a dias show running with some speech/audio file beneath - so that I get an avi file or whatever to present on the internet.
But no matter where I turn, I find video after video - and I am not so stupid, that I cannot read a text.
So can someone tell me where I can find a TEXT manual, describing how I do that?
Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Are you in Premiere Elements Editor? I'm seeing in PSE Organizer and can't see that "Drop files here" text anywhere.
This is how Slideshow dialog looks in PSE11 Organizer. You can rearrange the images by clicking on "Quick reorder"button or by dragging thumbnails on the thumbnail strip you see at the bottom.
Let me know if you are facing any issues with this dialog
Thanks

How can you increase the speed with a slider

I have been trying to work at this for about a week and a
half. I browsed several communities but it seems that noone has an
answer so I am not even sure if this is possible I am not a flash
expert but what I am trying to do is as follows;
I have a movie with several movie clips. I have an animation
of a female walking, I also have a slider that when I move it to
the right bags are added on to her. but what I am also trying to
accomplish is to have her walk faster as the slider moves to the
right.
I tried several scripts but they seem not to work as I wan
them to plus they start to cancel out the bag function.
How could I make this happen if it is even possible. I want
to use the slider to increase the speed of the lady walking. Slider
and Lady are movie clips.
thanks in advance

At present I'm not aware of any way to achieve this exact effect in Muse (where the first screen of a web page is resized to fill the browser window and the rest of the page, as you scroll down, appears to be fixed height layout).

Can I make a DVD with multiple slide shows?

I am making a project for my son's school. Each classroom (7 or 8 rooms) has their own photo show that I am making. The school wants me to put all of the photoshows on one DVD and separate classrooms into different titles, so families can skip to their child's classroom. So, in theory, I would have one DVD and about 7 or 8 chapters on it. Each chapter would be a different photo show. Can this be done? Is there a tutorial that would be able to help me with this? I have made a photo show and have burned it onto a DVD, but I haven't done anything that requires separate headers/titles. Thoughts? Tia.

Here's a few useful tips when preparing the slideshow/s for an iDvd ...
First suggestion is not to exceed 6 buttons per menu (although some themes allow for up to 12 buttons per menu).
Secondly, don't exceed 99 images per slideshow if the objective is to present the slideshow on a typical set top dvd player or TV. Disregard this rule if you will use your mac / computer to present the dvd slideshow. Here's why:
iDVD '08: After 99 images in a slideshow, set-top DVD player will reset to chapter 1
In iDVD '08, your slideshows are no longer limited to 99 images. You can now have up to 9,801 images in a slideshow. When you are playing a slideshow on your DVD player, it will number the slides (which are chapters) from 1 to 99 and then start numbering over again at number 1 (on the one-hundredth slide). This is normal and not something you can control when you author your DVD. It is a specification that applies to all DVD players.
Related documents
Article 302962: Slideshow audio playback drops out after 99 images
Thirdly, the following are articles to be aware of when making a slideshow/s with iDvd:
Preparing images for iDVD slideshows
You can use photos, movies, presentation slides (created in a program such as Keynote), or other image files in a slideshow created in iDVD. iDVD works with any image file that is supported by QuickTime (including PICT, JPEG, TIFF, and PDF.) You can also use photos directly from your iPhoto library.
Images and movies in a slideshow are scaled to fit the standard DVD window size, but the aspect ratio is preserved. For example, a picture taken vertically (also known as “portrait format”) may have black bands on either side of it to fill out the screen. If you want an image to fit the DVD window exactly, use an image-editing application to resize the image before bringing it into iDVD. (It is not possible to resize movies.) Resize to these dimensions:
◼
720 x 540 pixels for standard video in NTSC format
◼
854 x 480 pixels for widescreen in NTSC format
◼
768 x 576 pixels for standard video in PAL format
◼
1024 x 576 pixels for widescreen in PAL format
You can also make sure images in iDVD are always scaled to a size that will fit within the area visible on most TV screens, or the “TV safe area.”
o fit slides into the TV safe area:
Choose iDVD > Preferences.
Click Slideshow.
Select the checkbox labeled “Always scale slides to TV Safe Area.”
Adding menus to an iDVD project
Depending on which theme you choose, the menus in your iDVD project can hold either 6 or 12 buttons. If you need more buttons on a menu than your theme allows, or if you need additional menus to organize the content of your DVD, you can create submenus.
Submenus give you flexibility in organizing your DVD. For example, perhaps you have several slideshows in your project. You can create a button on your main menu that links to a slideshow submenu that includes links to each of your slideshows. You can also create submenus for additional movies, extra features, and so on.
To add a submenu:
Make sure the menu to which you want to add a submenu is showing in the iDVD window.
Click the Add button (shown below), and choose Add Submenu from the pop-up menu.
A placeholder button labeled My Submenu appears on the menu. It has the default button style for the theme, so you may need to change it to match other buttons on the menu.
Click the placeholder label for the new button once to highlight it, and type a new name for the button.
When you click the label to highlight it, a light blue background appears behind the text.
Using the pop-up menus in the in-place control that appears (shown below), change the typeface, font style, and font size of the button name if you want.
To open the new submenu, double-click the newly added button. Notice that iDVD automatically applies the Extras menu style from your project’s theme to the submenu. Also, a Back button that returns to the previous menu appears on the submenu. You can now edit this menu just as you edit any other menu, changing its theme if you want. You can even use the Add button to create buttons that navigate to sub-submenus.
For more information about creating submenus, see Related Topics below.
And lastly, keep in mind you can also use iPhoto (as well as third party apps) for making a slideshow/s for use within iDvd.
Using iPhoto slideshows in iDVD
You can easily create slideshows in iDVD using images or albums from your iPhoto library.
You can also add slideshows created in iPhoto to your iDVD project. These slideshows are imported into iDVD as movies, which retain the effects and sounds you created in iPhoto. As a result, you can’t edit or change these slideshows in iDVD, and viewers can’t manually click through the slideshow using the DVD player remote control.
To import an iPhoto slideshow:
Make sure the DVD menu from which you want to access the slideshow is open in the iDVD window.
For example, if you want the slideshow to be accessible from the main menu of the DVD, the main menu should be showing in the iDVD window.
Open iPhoto and select a slideshow.
Choose Share > “Send to iDVD.”
After several minutes, a button for the slideshow appears on the menu. The button has the same name as the slideshow.
The slideshow also appears in the Movies section of the Media pane, so you can use it in other iDVD projects as well.
You can change the name of the button by clicking the button twice to highlight the text and typing a new name.
If iDVD is not open when you send your iPhoto slideshow to iDVD, iDVD opens to a new project automatically when iPhoto finishes processing the slideshow. A DVD menu, with a default theme, is displayed in the iDVD window, and it has a button for the iPhoto slideshow. In this case, if you want to add the sideshow to an existing iDVD project instead, choose File > Open, click Don’t Save, and then choose an existing project. When the project is open, you can click the Media button, then Movies, and drag the slideshow to any menu.
If your version of iPhoto does not support exporting directly to iDVD, you must export the slideshow from iPhoto as a QuickTime movie, and then import the QuickTime movie into your iDVD project.

How can I view presenter notes with slides?

How can I view my notes with each slide and the audience only sees the slides?

From the top menu bar:
Keynote > Preferences > Presenter Display
You should see a list of options. Check the box next to "notes"
That will let you see the notes on a dual screen setup.
You can change the layout of the presenter's display by clicking on "Customize Presenter Display"

How do I make a DVD of my slide show

Made a slide show, exported it to iTunes where it now resides in "home movies" as a video. How can I make a DVD of my slide show?

If you right click on the movie in iTunes and choose "Show in Finder" you can then drag and drop the movie into the theme of your choice in iDVD. More information on iDVD here: http://www.apple.com/support/idvd/

My computer with my original library has crashed, how can i keep all the songs on my iphone, but still add new songs from my new library?

My computer has died and will not be working ever again. Problem is, i have all of my songs on that computer in my itunes library as well as on my phone. Now i want to add some songs to my phone from some new cds and it tells me i will loose all my songs on my phone right now when i perform the sync. How can i keep all of the songs on my iphone because now i do not have copies of these songs anymore except on my iphone?????? From what i have read, itunes is a joke because it only goes one way apparently. Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke

It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for this very occasion. Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
If for some reason you have failed to backup, big mistake, then you can transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer: File>Transfer Purchases
You may be able to buy a 3rd party program to get any other music off of the iphone ( not supported by Apple).
When you sync the iphone, it will erase the current content and replace with content form the new computer.
"Not happy with itunes right now, more then a bit of a joke"
Not itunes fault that you did not do the very basics and maintain a backup copy.

=> is this a different iCloud account for each device? I thought iCloud account ID had to match some iTunes account ID, for which we only have one i Tunes account?
You need to set up a separate iCloud account for each person that does not want to share their iCloud data. If you share an iCloud account with someone, any data you both sync with the shared account is merged, and you end up with each other's data on your device(s). If, for example, you owned two devices and someone else in the family also owned two devices, you would both want your own iCloud accounts, and you would each set up your personal iCloud account on the two devices you own. In other words, you want a separate iCloud account for each person to be used on the devices they own. Each iCloud account has to have a separate Apple ID. The ID does not need to be the same as the ID used for iTunes. Many families perfer to share the same iTunes account/ID, but maintain separate iCloud accounts with different IDs to keep there data separated.
ColleenMcG wrote:

=> what ID, iTunes? So I can have a separate iCloud account "only" ID which I also assume must be some [valid] email address? The children currently do not have email accounts anywhere.
Yes, I was referring to the iTunes ID not needing to be the same as the ID used for iCloud. In order to set up an Apple ID your children will need to have a valid email address that can be verified by Apple. Apple requires this so they have a way of contacting the owner if there is a problem with the account, such as when you may need to reset the password on the account. When you set up the ID, Apple will send a verification email to this email account and you will need to click on the verificating link in the email to complete the process. If they don't currently have an email account you can just set one up with gmail or another free email hosting service. They don't have to use the account but you will need it to set up the ID.
