How to access iTunes playlist for iPhoto slideshow?

In iPhoto 6 when I am setting up a slideshow and click the "Music" button, I am given the option of accessing my full library from iTunes, but my Playlists don't show up anywhere, just the artists' names and individual songs,so I am able to choose just one song for an entire slideshow. How can I access my playlists in the Music settings for iPhoto slideshows?

I have the same problem, I click the arrows and the list drops but I can only select first tune from , sample, garage band, or library. This happens every time I install an update. In the past deleting iTunes playlist has cured the problem but has not worked this time.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • ITunes music for iPhoto Slideshow

    Not able to use files from iTunes for iPhoto Slideshow.  Only SAMPLE MUSIC.  This is the message that I get > iTunes The song "The Sad Cafe" could not be used because the original file could not be located.

    Have you checked, if the song plays correctly, when you try to play the song "The Sad Cafe" in iTunes? If you see an exclamation point besides the song, you need to reconnect that dead track to the original file. When you try to playy the song, iTunes should prompt you for the location of the song. Use the File Chooser window, that will pop up, to search for the file and select it.
    Then try again to use the song in your slideshow.

  • Cannot access iTunes 'playlist' from iPhoto 6.0.6

    Hi, 5-29-07
    I am using iPhoto 6.0.6 and iTunes 7.1.1 (5). I want to use a playlist with my slideshow, and have read several postings with instructions on how to do this (great forum, by the way).
    For some reason, this version of iPhoto does not look like the descriptions the other posts give, and I can only access one iTunes level--probably root library, and select only single songs that repeat incessantly.
    Any help would be great. Had a family reunion lately and everyone is bugging me for a slideshow DVD.
    Thanks.

    You might be searching for the elusive dimple: have a look at this thread

    Lori has a screenshot that might be helpful. Even if your window has just a dropdown menu, there will still be the dimple.

  • Trouble with itunes playlist and iphoto slideshow

    Hello,
    I have created the slideshow in iphoto with background music from a playlist from itunes. It all looks great and plays perfectly in iphoto but after the conversion into a movie using Quicktime only the first song from the playlist accompanies the slideshow. I have done this before with an earlier slideshow and it all worked out great: Slideshow became movie accompanied by the whole playlist. This problem seems to have occurred since I upgraded to itunes 7.6 and Quicktime 7.4 Any ideas or hints would greatly appreciated.

    my advice has always been to rebuid any arrays with the new OS.
    backup, delete, restore/reload
    And invest in SoftRAID for your driver for all drives but esp. for mirror.
    TimeMachine - I'd pull your current backup drive and use a new one.
    And clone.
    Never rely on one backup set, or method.
    iTunes has always been.... interesting. Maybe someone in iTunes forums, and Lion community.
    I have always had iTunes and my media/data personal account home folder (back to 10.2 days) on separate drive volumes. Often stripped. Vista + itunes + RAID = corrupt data, but that was 2007.
    Shift launch iTunes. Told it where Media Library is. There are Apple support articles to cover this.

  • Can't access iTunes playlists in iPhoto

    I'm trying to put together a slideshow and the playlists that iPhoto lists are older ones from iTunes, not the current ones I have now. Even if I skip the playlists and try to pick a song from the iTunes library, it defaults to the "You got a friend in me" song. I've thought about trashing the preferences in iPhoto, but I don't want to lose all my iPhoto albums and events.
    Any ideas?

    That sounds more like an issue with iTunes sharing than iPhoto.
    So, in the iTunes Folder you'll find a file called iTunes Music Library.xml
    This is the file other apps read when they integrate with iTunes. Try move that to the desktop, launch iTunes and it will re-create the file. Quit and restart iPhoto. Is that better?
    If not, can other apps see the full iTunes Library? iMovie for instance?
    I've thought about trashing the preferences in iPhoto, but I don't want to lose all my iPhoto albums and events.
    You wouldn't.
    This only records your User options for the app. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • ITunes Playlist for a slideshow?

    Is it possible to combine songs in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist (containing more than one song/audio file) as the soundtrack to a slideshow in iDVD 5? If so, is it as easy as dragging the playlist icon to the audio button in the canvas?

    Hi Walt:
    Open GB and simply drag them to the track.
    Export to iTunes
    Open in iDVD.
    Hope that makes sense!

  • How do I use only a portion of a song in my iTunes in my iPhoto slideshow?

    I already tried making the song shorter in iTunes by using the start and stop options and it does indeed make the song shorter in iTunes, but when I choose the song within iPhoto, the slideshow uses the long version of the song. What do I need to do to just use like a minute of the song in the slideshow?

    The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
    Regards.

  • How to create a playlist for the movies I have?

    Hope someone can help me here. How do you set the movies to play continuously? I can't seem to create a playlist for the movies. You can create playlist for podcast videos and musics but how do you creat playlist for the 3 movies I have got on my iphone?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Not exactly true. As absurd as it sounds, if you have just one music track in your playlist, then you can select it from the Playlists section on the iPhone and play your videos, movies etc. one after the other.
    I have created a completely empty music track in Garageband which I drag onto the end of each and every video playlist I create. An ugly solution, but it works.
    You have to remember to check the playlist in both the Video and Music sections in iTunes->Devices->Your iPhone.

  • Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows.  The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto.  Any idea of what to do about this problem?

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account

    Sign out of one itunes account and sign into another seperate itunes account on same macbook.  Cannot access itunes library for 2nd account.  How do I do this?

    iTunes account is not the same as iTunes library.
    iTunes account is what you use to purchase from iTunes.
    iTunes library is what is on your computer.
    You can have items from multiple iTunes accounts in one iTunes library.

  • In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field

    In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field
    I am using Crystal Reports 2008 v1
    Using VB code, I am attempting to modify a Crystal Report before exporting it into a PDF format and then displaying it on the Web.
    My problem is that I am unable to access the formula used to dynamically suppress a field.
    The following code is working:
    mySections = rd.ReportDefinition.Sections
    For Each mySection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section In mySections
       ' myFieldToChange is a String set to the text of the field I need to adjust the Suppression
       iloop = 0
       For Each RecObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject In mySection.ReportObjects
               If mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop).Name.ToLower = myFieldToChange Then
                   myTextObject = CType(mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop), CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)
                   myTextObject.Text = "new field text goes here"
                   mySection.SectionFormat.EnableSuppress = True
                   '  Here is where I want to change the formula for the Suppression
                End if
                iloop = iloop + 1
        Next
    Next
    I can not find any reference to the actual suppression formula in the SDK help file.
    Note, the EnableSuppress can be set to True for False, but if there is a formula for dynamic suppression, the True or False value is overwritten.  The results of the formula determine the suppression.
    Is there a way to reference this formula.  I know that I can put on in using the Crystal Report Designer software, I need to modify this formula using VB code and the SDK.

    Hello, Mark;
    If you are using the ReportDocument object you do not have access to the Conditional Suppression formula. You can get around it by using a formula field in the report for the supression and then using the FormulaField code to change it at runtime.
    If you want to change the supression condition directly at runtime you need to use RAS and the ReportClientDocument.

  • How to make each playlist for each movie songs ? when i tried to add songs all movie songs comes in row , its very difficult to find which movie song belongs?

    how to make each playlist for each movie songs ? when i tried to add songs all movie songs comes in row , its very difficult to find which movie song belongs?

    Thank you! I put some self help hypnosis tracks to listen to on my iPod. I did not want to go to the next track automatically, I wanted to listen to them individually, one at a time. (If I fell asleep, I did not want to 'wake up' in the middle of a different track.) Your information helps me understand that I need to re-load this playlist onto my iPod from my  Mac computer, only first, I need to UNCHECK the boxes in front of each track so the iPod will STOP each time after playing the selected track. It is too bad that so many functions are not availabvle within the iPod, but that is probably why they can make it so compact.
