How do i share music files from iphoto slideshow to idvd?

I am making a Idvd slideshow and want to use a music theme i heard in iphoto.  In iphoto it is listed under "Sample Music".  But i cannot seem to navigate to in from within Idvd to import or select it.  Nor can i find "sample music" when I search with spotlight.  thanks in advance for the help.  New to the MAC. 

You need to delve into the iPhoto application and COPY the sample Music folder out to the Desktop and import it into iTunes before you can see it to use in a playlist in an iDVD slideshow.
The music is located in the iPhoto.app/Contents/Resources/Music folder.  Open the iPhoto application like this:

  • How do I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library on my laptop

    How can I import music files from a flash drive to my iTunes library? I put the flash drive into my laptop, selected " add file to library", selected the songs I wanted from the flash drive, and it looked like they were added as the names show under " recently added". Then I removed the flash drive from my laptop But when I select one of the songs and try to play it a message saying "the song could not be used because the original file could not be found. Would you like to locate it?"  So it seems the actual files did not transfer. What do I do? I have done this. With a cd in the past with nsomproble,.

    Thank you!! This worked. It does seem there should be an easier way but this did work.
    Dragging the files to "Automatically Add..." is pretty easy once you know where to look.  Just make sure iTunes is running when you do it; otherwise the files will just sit there until the next time you open iTunes.
    (Interestingly, the way you originally tried to do would have worked fine except for one little detail:  you have to first go into Edit > Preferences > Advanced, and check the box for "Copy files..."  If that is not done, iTunes will reference the files on the flash drive, which of course are not accessible once the drive is removed, as you saw.)
    Anyway, glad that all is now sorted.  Enjoy the music!

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?

    How do I export video files from iPhoto to a backup external hard drive for safekeeping?  Each time I try, the video will not play from the external hard drive.

    Use the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option with Kind = Original.  That should get the original video file exported.  Try to export one to the Desktop first and open it with Quicktime Player.  If all goes well export the rest to a folder on the EHD. How is the EHD formatted?  It should be OS X Extended (journaled).

  • How do I transfer music files from a portable hard drive to my current iTunes library?

    Last year I moved from a desk top to a Mac. Geek squad helped me save my previous iTunes libarary to an external hard drive. I'm not a sophisticated user by any means, and I cannot figure out how to copy the music files from the external drive into my current iTunes library on my new Mac. Help, please.

    Drag the files to the internal drive and from there into the iTunes application window.

    You can not.  iOS to iOS or OS to OS only for AirDrop.

  • How do I move music files from G4 to my new macbook?

    I would like to move my music library from my G4 to my new macbook. the macbook doesn't have a firewire port. It has an enternet and usb ports. what is the simplest way to do this.

    The easiest way would be to turn on file sharing and connect both computers to each other using an Ethernet cord, and transfer the files over the mini-network that would result. This would actually be faster than Firewire.

  • How do I move AVI files from iPhoto to an AVI player app?

    I have transferred some files from an SD card on to my iPad. They're stored as AVI files in iPhoto but I can't get them to play. I've downloaded an app called Playable which can play AVI but don't know how to transfer the files in to the app.

    Are you able to play them? If not and the fact that the Show File gets you nowhere indicates that those video files are missing from the hard drive. Download Find Any File and search for one of the avi files by full name including extension.

  • How to delete all music files from iPhone4S

    I had some music files loaded on my iPhone4S. In iTunes I converted all of the files from MP3 to AAC. When the iPhone synced, it added the AAC in addition to the MP3's! I think that the only fix would be to delete all of the files from the iPhone and resync. How would I do this?
    Bob

    You can delete the on your phone by going to Settings>General>Usage, wait for the apps list to open, tap Music, tap Edit, tap next to All Music.  Or, you can delete them from iTunes by unchecking Sync Music on the Music tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.

  • How to I remove music files from my computer through Itunes?

    I had to reinstall itunes and create a whole new library. All my music is kept on an external hard drive which I keep plugged into my laptop, and Itunes reads the files from that. Before I had to reinstall, when I tried to delete a file, a pop up would ask me if I'd like to remove it from my computer as well as my library. This is no longer happening. All I get now is just a warning asking me if I'm sure I want to delete from the library. What do I do to fix this???? I have a lot of music I need to go through and clean up and I really need this option.

    Ok..got it thanks! But, that leads me to my next question. I have over 140GB of music on an external hard drive that I want in my library. I know I can set the media folder to that external drive, but when I add the songs to my library, it would copy the files into that folder and not just move them meaning I'd have double the files on my drive? Is there a way to set it so it just transfers the files directly to the media folder and keeps them there?
    Drag the file into the "Automatically Add to iTunes" folder, which can be found in your iTunes Media folder.  iTunes will add the file to your library and will immediately move it to an Artist/Album folder and you will end up with only a single copy.  Try it now with one file so you can see how it works, before doing larger batches.
