How can I turn a iPhoto slide show into a DVD to share with friends?

First time I have used this forum. Also, am new to Mac.
I went to a lot of trouble creating an iPhoto slideshow thinking I could make a DVD to mail to friends. I could do this easily on a PC with Adobe Photoshop.
Thanks in advance.

Set the aspect ratio of the iPhoto slideshow to 4:3 for iDVD. Export the slideshow to your Movies folder via the Export button at the bottom.
Select Medium or Large as the size.
Open iDVD, selecdt a theme and drag the QT movie file of the slideshow into the iDVD menu's window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
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.

How to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud

how to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud on mac book pro

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

How can I turn my French apple account into Australian one to be able to buy a Iphoto book I've made?

hi
How can I turn my french apple account into an Australian one , to be able to buy a Iphoto book I 've created ?

And you need to set the "Print Products Store" in the iPhoto Preferences "Advanced" to the country you are in. The credit card you will be using with your AppleID needs to be valid in the country your AppleID is registered to. Will you be staying permanently in Australia? Maybe it wuld be simpler to create a second AppleID just for the time of your stay there.

How can I turn my Mac using iTunes into an alarm clock?

Here's my question: How can I turn my Mac, using iTunes, into an alarm clock?
I want to be able to put my Mac to sleep but have it set up so that when it wakes up at the predetermined time iTunes will open and start playing the music I've selected....
A "musical alarm clock"...
A friend suggested using the Energy Saver option in Sys. Preferences to wake the computer at the right time. He said that then I could use iCal to start iTunes. I would then have to use an Apple Script to get iTunes to play the song I want.
But is there a SIMPLER way to do this? Are there any programs out there that do this already??
Thanks for any help....

I recently got a copy of AlarmClock Pro from MacWorld UK. It is shareware, I think it is (USD?)19. I haven't had a chance to try it out much, but it does look quite good. I have an older version. The latest version looks even better.
I'm sure there's plenty of freeware apps out there. You might also want to try looking here for an applescript here Doug's AppleScripts for iTunes

Enabling 'File Sharing' on my Mac allows my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp to be visible and writeable on my home network. How can I turn this off, so that only folders/files I share are visible?

So I've been trying recently to get my MacBook Pro connected to my home network. There are two other desktop computers in the household, and I'd like to be able to connect to their shared folders, as well as allow them to access shared items on my MacBook Pro. I think I've read all the documentation regarding this issue on the Apple Support site. I do have administrator privileges on my Windows 7 computer.
Issues connecting from PC to Mac
A couple of days ago, I enabled SMB File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, and in addition to the already shared Public folder, I added another that resides within Movies. Then I went to my Windows 7 PC, and under Network, my MacBook Pro appeared. I double-clicked on it (I cannot remember if I was asked to enter my Mac user credentials; I think I was), and I saw the two shared folders: Public, and the Movies folder.
However, today I went back to my Windows 7 PC, accessed my MacBook Pro, entered username and password, and in addition to the two shared folders, both my Macintosh HD and Boot Camp HD appeared as shared folders, both fully writable. However, under File Sharing on my MacBook Pro, only the two shared folders (Public and Movies) appear in the Shared Folders list.
How can I prevent my Mac from sharing my entire partitions? How can I configure it so thatonly the folders I select to share are actually broadcasted across my home network? Also, it would be ideal if I can access these shared folders from my Windows 7 PC without having to enter my Mac user credentials.
Issues connecting from Mac to PC
I have a user account on my Windows 7 PC with the same name as my Mac, but with no password. When I try to connect to my PC from my Mac, the enter credentials dialogue pops up and asks me to either log-in as a Guest, or enter my User credentials.
The Guest account is disabled on Windows 7, and I assume that's I'm not able to log in as Guest (if it is possible to connect as a Guest without having to enable the Guest account on Windows 7, please let me know). Leaving the password field blank on the enter credentials dialogue tells me that it's incorrect (even though I don't have a password on my Windows 7 account).
Is it possible to access shared files and folders on my Windows 7 PC from my Mac without having to create a password protected account? If not, is it possible to create a password for the sake of accessing shared files, while not requiring it to log in to the account? I'm sorry, I know this last bit more falls under the category of Windows Help.

Sharing files from a Mac to a PC is a different animal. I've never done it myself so you may want to repost a separate question on this topic.
From what I understand, in order to access files from a Mac on a PC, you must log in using your Mac username and password (no anonymous file sharing). Since this is not very desirable from a security standpoint, Apple recommends creating a separate user account on the Mac that is dedicated to file sharing. Give that account access only to the files/folders you want to share. You can then give that user account name and password to your Windows users.

How can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

How can I have a live slide show via Apple TV?

I've got a second gen Apple TV with the latest sw and iTunes is updated as well. I can play a slide show from Apple TV sourced from a folder on my Mac just fine. However, when I add an image to the folder, the running slide show does not pick it up. I need to stop the slide show and restart it again for the image to be included.
is there a way that the slide show can pick up files as they are added to the folder? I would rather not stop and start the slide show every time a photo is added to the folder. Any other ideas of how I can do this?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately you can't do that.

How can I run a picture slide show continuously on my playbook?

I would like to run a picture slide show on a continuous loop but I cannot find any settings to accomplish that. Does anyone know how or if I can do that?
Thank you.

Hi BERVEN,
You state that you are very disappointed because you have not been given a solution. Well, don't be disappointed with your new BBPB because it can indeed do what you want and I have the solution for you right here.
STEP 1: TAP the PICTURES APP (on the homescreen) quick-like with your finger.
---- Immediately, all the ALBUMS containing all your photos show on the screen.
---- You will have saved your photos here, grouped by date or subject or other sort order, depending on how your photos were grouped together on your PC or MAC before you transferred them.
STEP 2: TAP one of your "ALBUMS"
----------- Pictures are stored in albums, which is sensible.
------------- If they were downloaded from pc "folders", then a "folder" in Windows becomes an "ALBUM" in the BBPB.
------------- All the pictures in the album are now visible to you (swipe down to see more if there are many)
STEP 3: TAP PICTURE #1 in that album. Now you will be given 2 choices:
------------ You can "swipe" right to see each individual picture still
------------- OR go to Step 4 (and there you will find the answer to your question)
STEP 4: Touch that first picture
The result of touching the screen is that the screen pops up the BACK, PLAY, FORWARD on-screen controls you want.
The 3 MOTION CONTROLS ARE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE PICTURE --- ON THE PICTURE ITSELF. Press the middle control, which is the LARGEST ONE --- and Wow, YOUR SLIDE SHOW IS RUNNING ALL BY ITSELF!
You can play ALL the pictures in your PlayBook in a slideshow, together, regardless of which albums they are in ---- one big show, if you like. Let me know if this worked for you, okay?

How do I get an iPhoto slide show onto the web?

Aloha:
I made a slide show in iPhoto 8.0 with 31 pictures and background music. It works great in iPhoto and I can export it to Quicktime 7.3 and it also works great there. The file size is about 119 megs, so I would like to get it on the web for distribution. However, all exports to the web are grayed out. What are my choices?
Thanks
Dan Page

Dan:
You'll have to use a 3rd party application to reduce the size to a more manageable size. Quicktime Pro can reduce the size. VisualHub is another recommended app. I've been looking at Video2SWF, an application to convert the movie files to flash which are a lot smaller.
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.
I've created 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 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.

How can I attach link to slide show

I want to create a slide show displaying pictures of my daughter's confections.
I can animate the pictures over the background using keyframes, but I would like to have an active link for her web page displayed somewhere on the page.
Thanks for any advice.
David

I created the slide show with Bionx's "PhotoPresenter". The music I used, "Sugar Sugar" was to long, so I sent the resulting QT file to FCPX to add the music, shorten it and add some taper.
I then sent the resulting QT file to "Keynote" and added the link to my daughter's confections web page and a link to the artist's iComposition address. For some reason, the link would not work for a direct access to the song. I had to link it to all of his songs, which is good. The artist has very graciously given me permission to use his excellent recording.

How can order of viewing a slide show be reversed in Lightroom 5?

My selected pics are those with a 5 star rating. When selecting "play", the show is running from left to right in the filmstrip, or latest date to oldest date, rather than the reverse. How can I switch the order of viewing to show first to last.
THanks,
Adrian

Re-sort the photos in Lightroom. Use the menu command View->Sort
