How do I delay start of music in slideshow?

Hi - Working on my first slide show. First and last imports are imovies with their own soundtracks, in between are photos. How do I get the music I selected for the photos to start AFTER the imovie? Right now, I get the movie soundtrack AND the slideshow theme music playing at the same time. Is there a solution for this? Thanks!!

No there isn't. You need a more powerful app.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:  iMovie, on every Mac sold
Others, in order of price:
PhotoToMovie  $49.95
PulpMotion  $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express  $199
Each of these will have the ability to manage the sountrack.
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.  However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • How to pause and start a self playing slideshow

    Hello
    is there a way to pause and then restart a self plaing slide show in keynote 10. when I hit the space bar it moves to the next slide instead of pausing as I need to create a slide show which basically plays in the background but which needs to be stopped occasinally and then manualy advance to the picture before and then start up again
    regards

    You're right, thanks for correcting me.
    Fixing my implementation:
    public class CountingThread extends Thread {
        private JLabel label;
        private int i = 0;
        private volatile boolean stopped = false;
        private volatile boolean resume;
        public CountingThread(JLabel label) {
            this.label = label;
        public void run() {
            while(!stopped) {
                SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                    public void run() {
                        updateLabel();
                try {
                    sleep(1000L);
                } catch (InterruptedException expected) {
                    if( !stopped ) {
                        synchronized(this) {
                            try {
                                while( !resume )
                                    this.wait();
                            } catch( InterruptedException stopping ) {}
        //special methods
        private void updateLabel() {
            label.setText("Number count : " + i++ + " ");
        public void startThread() {
          this.start();
        public void stopThread() {
            stopped = true;
            this.interrupt();
        public void pauseThread() {
            resume = false;
            this.interrupt();
        public void resumeThread() {
            resume = true;
            synchronized(this) {
                this.notify();
    }You should disable buttons accordantly to prevent the user from doing wrong actions.
    Thanks again BigDaddyLoveHandles, if this was my thread I'd give you the duke stars.

    how do i delay the screensaver kicking in? I want to have the music function available without havingto constantly press slide to open. Ipod touch.  Thanks

    On the iPod, go into Settings/General/Auto-Lock and set that for the amount of time you want, form the choices given.
    However, a note of caution; this isn't a screensaver function, it's there to prolong battery life. The longer the screen is on before turning itself off, the more battery you are using and the shorter the time before you run out of power.
    There's possibly a better way for you to use you iPod than to keep the screen on. Why are you constantly going into the music function? If it's to select a new track, you could possibly use the Shake To Shuffle feature, which will select a new track at random when you shake the iPod. Alternatively, use the basic Shuffle feature. Or create a Playlist (on the iPod), where you can select the songs you want to play at that time, put them in one list and let the iPod play them.

    Thank you Csound1, ok I guess I did manage to delete it but now when I copy new mp3 files they come as mpeg and iCoud won't accept them? Why? Do I have to convert them all now or can I set it somewhere to take them as mp3's. Appreciate the help. Have a great day! Cheers Steve

  • My phone has started playing music when it connects to Bluetooth in my car. How do I stop it?

    With this last update, my iphone5 starts playing music every time it connects via Bluetooth in my car. I close the app but when I hang up from a call, the music starts again.  How do I turn this feature off?

    The iphone starts playing music automatically when it connects to either of the car stereos via bluetooth and I don't want it to as it drains the phone battery. This is particularly annoying on the ford as the car stereo doesn't even support streaming music!
    I don't want to lose the bluetooth connection as I need to make phone calls.
    Does anyone know how to switch off the automatic start for the music without losing the bluetooth connection?

  • How can I stop my iPhone 5 from starting the music player randomly on its own?

    I have an iPhone 5 running the latest version of iOS.  Sometime last year (maybe shortly after I originally upgraded to iOS 7), the phone developed a nasty habit of starting up the music player during phone conversations when I connected to my Mazda's Bluetooth system.  Oddly enough, I can hear the music playing over the phone conversation but the person on the other end of the phone line can't.  To stop the music, I have to open the Music App and then close the App.  Note that the Music App did NOT have to be previously open for the music to start, and the Music App doesn't usually show as an open App even after the music starts on its own.  The problem has persisted through the last few iOS updates and it now happens in a broader range of circumstances (e.g., I have told the iPhone to forget the Mazda adapter, and it now does the same thing with my Plantronics Voyager Bluetooth headset).  I usually have to go through this sequence at least twice per Bluetooth pairing session before the phone stops trying to start the music player on its own during phone calls.
    The problem went away temporarily when I did a full reset of the phone, but it came back after a few days (even when I added apps & music back without restoring from an iOS backup).
    Has anyone found a way to fix this problem once and for all?  If I can find a fix, it's enough of an annoyance that it might convince me to go Android with my next phone.  Thanks in advance...

    I've tried syncing with itunes and icloud.  The missing contacts are nowhere to be found.  I just re-enter them on my iphone and proceed on my not so merry way.  Next time I look for a contact, it might be there or it might not.  It is not necessarily the same contact.  It appears that my oldest contacts seem to be the ones disappearing

    There is nothing you can do in Messaging Server for this. The expiration of a certificate is defined by the certificate itself.

  • How to export for web - retaining slide delays synced to music?

    I have put together a presentation with slide transitions and delays synced to music.  It works great within Keynote from my laptop.  I want to export this to the web  so that the individual slide syncing with the music is preserved. Is there a way to take the Keynote and create a video with these settings preserved?  Should I be using iphoto, imovie or ...????

    Export to QuickTime requires you use fixed slide timing so you need to adjust the slide timing to the audio...
    Here's an example of a Keynote "movie" displayed on the web using HTML5 with flash fallback...

  • How do I transfer my entire music collection to a new computer and sync my iphone with new mac without deleting existing music in iphone?

    Hi All,
    I will describe my current setup and the required setup below. Please help me with the steps to do this
    Current setup:
    OS: Windows 7
    Total Music collection: 80GB of mp3 , which is NOT added to itunes library (I use foobar)
    iTunes Music collection: around 500 songs, synced to my iphone (unchecked "manually manage" that meeans all these songs are in itunes library)
    Now the required setup: (Since I am planning to get a macbook pro)
    OS: Mac OS  (This means the music file path will be different)
    Total Music collection: 80GB which is to be added to itunes library
    iPhone Music: The same 500 songs as before.
    Is this possible? In Mac OS I want my entire 80GB to be added to itunes library, also keeping my existing iphone songs intact.
    Any ideas?

    Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings:  Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive.  Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to select a library, then guide it to the 'iTunes Library.itl' file in the moved iTunes folder.
    If you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music  then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there.  (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)
    Longer answers if for any reason you do not think all library files are inside your iTunes folder (changed preferences settings at some point):

Unfortunately under the single term "transferring library" it describes two very different moves; relocating just your media (not  really transferring your library and not recommended unless you really need this configuration), and relocating media+database (really your whole "library").  Make sure you understand the difference before electing to move only media.

    Transferring the library as above will connect your i-device to the same library on the new computer even though it is stored on different hardware. You should not see the "erase & sync" prompt, and syncing will preserve game scores and other data on the device.
    As for the 80GB of music in foobar, add that to the iTunes library at some stage by dragging those files to the Automatically Add To  iTunes folder.

  • How can I share my itunes music from my pc to my mac

    I have an itunes account and have purchased music from my desktop pc. I recently acquired an ipod AND an old Powerbook G4.  The G4 has music (that was purchased via itunes from that computer) when my Dad had it. I managed to load the ipod with his music library and now I would like to add my library from itunes on my pc. When I go to my itunes on my pc I now see that Dad's music appears there as "shared". How can I now share my music onto the itunes account that appears on the G4? (so that I can then download it onto the iPod).

    All the items you purchased are in your iTunes library. Just go on your computer click on the start menu then music after that you will see iTunes music and samPle music then u click on iTunes music you will see it if anything my numbe is 3477039111

  • How do I add multiple background music clips to iMovie

    Trying to add multiple background music to iPhoto clips to make a vacation iMovie but when I add a music clip, it shoots right to beginning rather than stopping at the end of last clip added. I've pinned my background music to the first clips but want to add more background music but can't make it stop at the right photo clip. How do I place new background music at the right clip?

    I don't use iPhoto (but read your post since it mentioned iMovie which I do use) - anyway, you're not talking about the application iMovie - you're talking about a movie.
    So I am guessing, but it may work the same as it would with iMovie:
    Can you select the audo clip and  simply drag it to the spot you want it to start? Or, mocw the playhead to the spot where you want it to start then import it?
    FYI, it would be helpful to indicate which Mac OS version  you are running - it is not iOS 6 which is for iDevices.

  • I got a new itunes account through my iphone but i still have all my music on my iphone but when i go to itunes its not there anymore, how do i get all my music from my phone to my computer??

    i just got a new itunes acount because my other one wasnt working and it was fine i still had all my music on my phone, but then i had to restart my whole laptop back to the way it was when i first bought it because it was so slow, so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there. how do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop

    I would not suggest starting anew AppleID as you will have problems with previous purchases.

    How doesn't it work?
    so when i downloaded itunes back and signed in none of my music was there.
    Because it is part of your old AppleID (and your library does not just magically appear).
    Did you make a backup of your HD?
    jhow do i download all my music from my iphone 5 to my laptop
    Authorize your computer for your old AppleID then File > Devices, select your device then Transfer purchases.
    I highly suggest you sort out the issue with your old AppleID and continue to use that. Remove your personal info from the new AppleID and don't use it.

    Now, I understand how the backup and restore the backup features function. However, if I don't want to transfer the music that I have on iTunes to my phone, how do I avoid it? How do I not transfer the music or take it out of my iPhone if it is already there? I really do not want any music on my iPhone because I have an iPod for that. Thanks. Hope someone can help.

    When you connect your phone and start iTunes on the left side you will see your phone listed under devices.Click on te icon next to it that looks like a battery. Click on the music button at the top and uncheck the sync music box.

  • Why does my iPhone 4s start playing music when I connect to a bluetooth unit?

    I have recently bought a new 4s and have attempted to use it with my Automedia handsfree bluetooth unit in the car. The phone worked fine with my previous (Android) phone, but whenever I receive a call on the 4s it starts playing music through the bluetooth unit as well as the telephone conversation. This does not happen when I make a call. Any suggestions on how I can stop the music playing? (The phone wont let me swap to the music player to put the music on hold either.) Any help greatly appreciated as this is really annoying.

    I considered that too, but when I double clicked the home button to show what apps were running, there was nothing there. I just don't understand how anything would have opened because I hadn't touched my phone in several minutes.
