Do i create a slideshow in iPhoto and then it will automatically pop up on my apple TV Photos? or is it really not that easy? i don't want to do airplay......i would like to sit and enjoy it with her.

icloud sync would only be an option if you login with your appleID
so think flickr is the easy way

How can I make a slideshow with pictures and burn it to a dvd? what program to use?

how can i make a slideshow with my pictures and then burn it to a dvd?

Apple's builtin "iPhoto" application can do that easily. Open iPhoto and click on "Help" at the top of the screen for assistance in creating it.
Hope this helps

How do you make a slideshow with pictures & videos?

ok, i'm new to mac & video editing. i want to make a slideshow with pictures & @ the end of it, i want to put in a clip from a home video. if i put the home video on a DVD, will i be able to edit it? i know i have to edit the video in imovie but where do i go from there? can i import it into iphoto & make the slideshow there? if so, how do i save the imovie project as the right file type so i can import it into iphoto? if i can't make it in iphoto, what program do i use? i want the slideshow to be able to be viewed on a PC also.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As already mentioned you'll need to use a 3rd party slideshow application or iMovie.
However, you can create a slideshow in iDVD with stills and a video clip as iDVD 7 (08) now permits both stills and movie clips to be placed in a slideshow. This screenshot shows multiple video clips in an iDVD slideshow but you can also have stills and video clips.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

How can I make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video on an iPad 3?

Been trying to find a way to make a slideshow in iPhoto into a video. Is there a way to do this?

You can avoid the Ken Burns effect, but it would be a lot of work:
See: http://help.apple.com/imovie/ipad/2.0/index.html#knac3eec39c6
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.
Adjust the movement of photos with the Ken Burns effect
iMovie applies the Ken Burns effect to the photos you add to your project. With this effect, the camera appears to sweep across and zoom in on the photo. If there are people in the photo, iMovie uses face detection to keep faces within the viewing area.
You can adjust the Ken Burns effect so that the motion starts and ends on the parts of the image you specify.
In the timeline, tap the photo you want to adjust.The Ken Burns effect controls appear in the lower-right corner of the image in the viewer.
To set the way the photo is framed at the beginning, tap the Start button .
Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
To set the way the photo is framed at the end, tap the End button .
Pinch to zoom in or out, then drag the image in the viewer to frame it the way you want.
To close the controls, tap the Ken Burns Effect button , or tap outside of the clip.
If you don’t want the Ken Burns effect applied to a photo, set the image position and zoom level to be the same for the start and end points.

How can I make a slideshow with music and burn it to a disk?

I need to make a photo slideshow with music and burn it to a disk. I am able to make the slideshow but I cant figure out how to save it or burn it to a disk.

How do you want to play the slideshow? On another computer or on a TV set?
If it's the former export the slideshow as a QT movie file to the desktop and burn that file to a disk with the Finder.
If you want to create a video DVD of the slideshow so that it can be viewed on a TV set, use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option. That will export the slideshow into iDVD where you can complete the menu and project design.
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 and you can then burn to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.

Music trouble while trying to make a slideshow with iPhoto

I am trying to make a slideshow for a family member. I have assorted the pictures in the correct order and that part is done. However, when I went to go and add music to the show, iPhoto only lets me pick one song that I can play continuously throughout the show or just once. I would like to try and put about 5 or 6 songs on to go with the pictures but I can not find any way I can do this. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what I can do or what software I may need to buy instead. Thank you very much.

Can't make a slideshow with iPhoto. Won't play and export Slideshow is gray

I'm trying to export an album to a slideshow in iPhoto '09 and cannot. Whenever I select the "Slideshow" option, it turns gray like in a click and hold, but stays gray and the the box never flips over to Slideshow.
Also, when I click the slideshow button at the bottom of an event or album, it just sits there. The program doesn't freeze, but it doesn't start a slideshow. Under the "File" menu, "Close Window" is my only selectable option. When I select it, the screen fades to black, comes back, and then closes the program.
Has anyone else come across this problem and (preferably) come across a solution?
Thanks!

First try the easy fix: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder, launch iPhoto and try again.

How can I make a book in iPhoto using some photos and a lot of text-- recipes--written in ms Word2011?

I'm trying to make and have printed, a small cookbook of favorite recipes using my photos as illustrations. Given the themes in iPhoto, writing in Word2011, it doesn't seem to work as a click and drag into designated spaces. Only photos work with too limited text. Any ideas?

Place it the book, right click on it and fit to frame

How do I make a ringtone with GarageBand for my iPhone from rights-protected AAC audio files I purchased from iTunes?

When I try to import some songs I purchased from iTunes into GarageBand so I can create a customer ringtone a window pops open stating that I cannot import a rights-protected AAC audio file? I bought the song from iTunes and can play it on my iPhone iPod application. Does not make sense except from a mercenary perspective why I cannot create a custom ringtone from the song and play it on my iPhone when the phone rings. Is there a solution?

You cannot use DRM protected songs for this as they are drm protected to stop you from doing this.
Any itunes plus ( all itunes music sold over the past couple of years or so) can be used to make ringtones.

I have viber installed on my iPhone. But whenever I receive a call from Viber, it would not ring. How do I fix this problem? How do I make it ring with incoming call?

IPhoto quits when I try to make a slideshow with music

IPhoto quits constantly when I try to make a slideshow with music from my Itunes library. I've tried creating a new, separate library with no luck. I'm running mavericks with iPhoto 9.5.1. Does anyone else have this problem? Are there any other options on a mac to make a simple slide show? This is a pretty simple thing. Although iPhoto's always been really slow the past couple of years, the fact that my mac is incapable of doing it is beyond disappointing.
Thanks,
Tom

Tom,
do you have enough free disk space? rendering slideshows needs plenty of free space, or the system may have problems.
When exactly is iPhoto crashing? When you play the slideshow? When you add the music? When you render the slideshow as a video?
You have tried a new library, but have you tried differnet music?
And tried if you are having the same problem from a different user account?

Trying to make a slideshow in iphoto and export it to iDVD

I just got a Macbook Pro this week and I am using the ilife 6 suite on it. I imported about 50 pictures into iphoto and created a slideshow with 1 music track playing in the slideshow. I want to be able to play this slideshow on a dvd player hooked up to a tv so I exported the slideshow to iDVD. I notice, it takes an extremely long time to export the file into iDVD, after about 15minutes, an error message comes up saying "An error has occured exporting slideshow to idvd". I also get a message saying I'm running out of HD space when I have about 53gb remaining. I checked my HD space and the slideshow ended up eating 32gb of HD space so I just deleted it. Can anyone tell me how to make a slideshow in iphoto so that it plays on my dvd player?
Thanks

I'm not really sure how to do any of this. I've had a Mac for a year but haven't really learned to use iphoto or iDVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on a mac?

Where is the best place to make a slideshow with pictures and music on Macbook Pro?

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

How do I make iPhone passive in iPhoto - not once but always

I use Aperture and iPhoto. I import all my photostreams and photos to Aperture. It is my main photo application.
But I also use iPhoto for special fotos and events.
I never syncronize my iPhone with iPhoto or iTunes, but I often connect it to my MacBook just to charge the phone.
Every time I work in iPhoto and connect my iPhone, iPhoto will open my photo roll and make my photo roll ready for import.
Then I can right-click on the iPhone in the iPhoto device list and make the phone "passive". But I have to do that EVERY TIME I connect the phone.
How do I make the iPhone passive??
I don't want the phone to be "married" to iPhoto. It should be "married" to Aperture ONLY.
Frank

You can't. If iPhoto is open when you connect the phone then it will offer itself from importing.
Regards
TD
