How do I shorten songs - like for a slideshow?

I am making a slideshow and want to use just pieces of songs I have in iTunes. How do I do this? I've looked in iTunes, Garage Band, iPhoto, etc and not seeing how I can use just part of a song. Can anyone help? Thanks!

You can do this within iTunes. In the Options pane of the Get Info window, you can set a start and stop time, then convert the song. You'll end up with the chunk between the start and stop times. If you convert to AIFF, you won't lose any audio quality.

I am trying to figure out how to delete a song from my iphoto slideshow.

I am trying to find out how to delete a song from my slideshow.

In the slideshow mode click on the Music button in the toolbar and deselect the music currently assigned or assign a new track or multiple tracks for the slideshow.

How do I change the background for a slideshow?

I am importing images and adding an audio track for a slideshow. Please note that I DON'T want to create a "color clip" - what I would like to do is make the background that the images are shown against something other than black. (This is for those images that don't fill the screen completely and currently end up with a black border either on the top and bottom or the sides.)
Any way to do this?
Thank you.

Dan,
"what I would like to do is make the background that the images are shown against something other than black"
Unfortunately, you can't. Not in iMovie anyway.
You can with an app named Photo to Movie. Think of it as Ken Burns on steroids. I've long used it as an adjunct to iMovie.
Among other things, it allows you to set any slide show background color you like. It costs $50, but if you plan on doing a lot of work with slides shows it's might be worth checking out.
Other cool features include multiple key frames, the ability to rotate slides and precisely control acceleration.

How to delete duplicate songs itunes for windows?

How to delete multple duplicates of songs on Itunes for windows?

Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library. It is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls such as lost ratings and playlist membership.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background, this post for detailed instructions, and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed.)
The most recent version of the script can tidy dead links as long as there is at least one live duplicate to merge stats and playlist membership to. There are other ways to deal with deal links alone, but those won't preserve that information.

How do u make fourms like for log in pages

Anyone?

I don't know how or nobody who has ever wanted to, or had the
time and patience to build an
all-flash based forum - especially when their are way easier
ways to integrate a forum (like phpbb
using php or similar).
Google for "build forum with flash" and you will find several
threads where people discuss just how
impractical it would be.
Bottom line - flash cant do it alone - you will still need
some backend integration of course. Even
if you were able to do it - the big picture question is
"why?" and how the flash player would handle
the load as more and more users potentially are registered
and online/active.
good luck.

Hi all.I have a dumb question.Im new to all this i tune stuff.when you purchase a song ,is it a one off payment and how long does the song last for on your i phone or i tune playlist.Told you it was dumb...

As above

All music, movies, videos and books from the iTunes Store are a one-time purchase and are yours to keep and use as long as you wish.
BTW, this forum is for questions about iTunes U, Apple's service for colleges and universities to post educational material in the iTunes Store. Normally you will get the quickest and most applicable responses if you ask your questions in the general iTunes forums.

How do you change the music for an export from a selection of pictures?

I have iTunes and know how to change the music for a slideshow but if I select pictures from a folder and export to QuickTime how do I change the music?
There is an option to "Add currently selected music to movie" but it always plays the same tune. How do I get an option to select an iTunes song like with the Slideshow? Where are the slideshow sample music files stored? There are 11 files in the sample folder but I can't find any of them on my drive.

Maybe there is some confusion in what I'm telling you. There are two types of slideshows in iPhoto. One creates a special slideshow album that appears in the Source pane on the left side. This is not the one I'm talking about. (You create one of these slideshow albums when you select some photos and click the Slideshow icon (the one with a Plus sign on it) at the bottom of the iPhoto window.
The other slideshow is done from the main library window or from a regular album (not a slideshow album). You either select some photos (or a roll) from the Library or select an album (with a folder icon). Then click the Play button which is on the bottom right hand side of the iPhoto window.
If your Play button is on the left side, then you aren't using the correct one. The one that appears on the left side shows when you've selected a Slideshow Album from the source pane. This type of album has an icon that looks like a couple of slides (the kind you put in a projector).
Does that make a difference?

GETTING HTML CODE FOR A SLIDESHOW

How can i get HTML CODE for a slideshow recently created using Photoshop Elements 8. I also added AUDIO both from my own audio folder AND from PE8 audio selections.

What operating system are you using?
On a windows system, I think you need to use the Share>Online Album in the PSE 8 Organizer and then save the result to disk to get something with HTML code.
The standard create slide show only outputs as a pdf or a movie format file.

How to not have songs duplicates in app remote? I have playlists for my iphone and playlists for my pc. All songs of my iphone are also on my mac. When i use the remote app, it plays everything in double.

Dear all,
I am using itunes to control all my music and i like to use my iphone, or my ipad to control my music with the remote app.
But i have a problem: all the music i have in my iphone count as double play.
To explain everything since the beginning, i personally don't like and don't trust at all the music sync capability of itunes.
So i have my music on my pc, and i load every type of music as a single playlist (ex a Pop-Rock folder, with all artists folders and so on, makes me a Pop-Rock playlist).
For my iphone, i created a iphone music folder, with the same classification.
It means that i don't have all my Pop-Rock music, only a selection. But of course the selected music appears also in my complete music collection.
So in itunes i created a folder playlist named iphone music, with inside one playlist by type of music (exemple : Pop-Rock, which contains some files of my main Pop-Rock collection).
So i do have duplicates in my hard drive. But when i selected the playlists to be shared on home sharing in itunes, i selected only the main playlists, not my iphone playlists! But still, when i look for ACDC artist for example, i should see only what i have on my pc, not what i have also on my iphone.
The result is if i play an album for example Back In Black (i have it full on my hard drive, and full on my iphone too), then every song is displayed in remote app in double, and also played in double:
Here is how it is displayed:
Song 1
Song 1
Song 2
Song 2
So the remote app plays Song 1 one time, then Song 1 (the second Song 1) one time and continues like this to Song 2 etc...
I guess that if i put my selection of songs on my ipad, i will then have everything in triple....
It is very annoying. Is there a way for me to change that? Or for an update to be made (based on ID3 Tag) to not play everything twice or more? It would have an ID3 Tag No Double toggle button.
I don't want to select from my main music to send elements to my iphone as doing that i lost a lot of music multiple times. This way of doing is not safe at all (at least for me).
What is possible to do? Is there room for improvement here (i believe so). Is there a way for me to avoir this very annoying effect?
I would really like to put my music to my iPad2 also, but after i'll have triple play....
Thank you for your help.

Nobody knows? Not even administrators?
Please it would be really nice to have help on that to take all the benefit of the remote app.
Thank you very much in advance.
