How to arrange photo orders for slide show?

Hello,
The photos I uploaded to the iPod are in seemingly random order. How is that order determined? Should I rearrange them in iTunes or in the original folder first? How would I do so? Thanks!

I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture?

How to arrange photos in Aperture slide shows to the beat of the music?

Is there anyone that knows how to arrange photos to the beat of the music in Aperture slide shows? I have tried to do a search for this topic, looked at "help" and still can get things to work properly. The "beat of music" command seems to be grayed out. Is there a bug in the software? Any help would be appreciated.

Apple TV photo order in Slide Show

There are several posts relating to the order that photos are shown on Apple TV Slide Show. The problem is that when photos are moved via iTunes Home Sharing from iPhoto or another folder, the exact order is lost when they arrive at the Apple TV. Many of the previous posts suggest causes and fixes, yet NONE of them really solve the problem. So, I have started this new post to see if somewhere out there there is an answer. When photos are arranged in a particular order (ideally by file name, which makes the most sense and is easiest to work with), either in iPhoto or in another folder, they should STAY in that order for presentation as a Slide Show on Apple TV. I have tried several ways to export the photos; none of them achieve the desired result - some photos always get out of order, even with as few as 10 photos. This really makes Apple TV unacceptable for Slide Shows. Who wants to watch a slide show that keeps jumping around by date or by place or whatever?
To date, I am using a second generation Apple TV, iPhoto 9 ver 8.1.2, iTunes 12.0.1.26, on a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.5.
Is there a solution that works consistently? If not, or unless I have missed something, why hasn't Apple addressed this?

I have the exact same issue and I have tried everything....
It really *****. It must be a config or similar issue, as there's not many postings on this....anyone with a cure? Let me know!

Random order for slide show?

I have a lot of pictures in an album that I would like put in random order for a slide show. I want to burn that to a dvd to play at our day care centers (pics of the kids throughout the summer). is there any way to do this other than dragging and dropping the pictures manually? that takes a lot of time.

OK. Well here's a helpful answer. Someone's already written a quick Applescript for adding random numbers to every file in a folder. I added a little bit to the beginning and the end to let you be able to just drag and drop the folder onto the file, but give full credit to the poster
Steps:
(1) Open the Applescript Editor:
Finder->Applications->Apple Script->Script Editor.app
(2) In a new Script copy and paste the following text:
--start copying
on open the_Droppings
tell application "Finder"
set separator to ("_") as text
set source to the_Droppings as alias
set destination to make new folder at source with properties {name:"Shuffled"}
set shuffle_pool to duplicate files of source to destination
set shuffle_count to count shuffle_pool
set duplicates to {}
repeat with shuffle_file in shuffle_pool
repeat
set an_item to random number from 1 to shuffle_count
if an_item is not in duplicates then exit repeat
end repeat
shuffle_file as alias
set name of result to an_item & separator & name of result as string
set end of duplicates to an_item
end repeat
end tell
end open
-- stop pasting here
(3) File->Save As
(4) Type in a name for the file and IMPORTANT save it as an application.
(5) Place all the images that you want to randomize into any folder. (In iPhoto6: File->Export from an album or; in iPhoto5: Share->Export)
(6) Drag the folder with your images onto the little application that you saved from the Script Editor
(7) The Script will create a new folder inside whatever folder you dropped on it called "Shuffled".
(8) Now if you do an Edit->Add Slideshow in iDVD you can just drag the contents of the Shuffled folder to iDVD and you're done! It'll make a DVD in seconds! Now if only you could set the time to more than 10 seconds!

How to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

how to arrange photos in camera roll datewise its not showing datewise please let me know

Emile
Bear with me a minute. You're confusing a lot of things.
1. As Larry says, on Windows you are using a File Manager for you your photos. All well and good if it works for you, but limited. Why? Because it doesn't leverage any of the extra information available with photos files. Essentially, a File Manager doesn't distinguish between a photo nd a Word file or a Music file. They are just files.
2. Photo Managers like iPhoto (Or Picasa, Aperture, Lightroom et al) work differently. They are designed to leverage the additional information available in the photo file. Case in point: Date. In the File Manager you have folders created for Year/Month/Day. In iPhoto the pics are grouped into Events automatically. These Events are based on the date and time the Photos were taken, and which is recorded in the Exif metadata for the photo file.
As we all know, when one downloads pictures from a camera, their"names" appear as a bunch of letters and the number indicating thesequence.
These are Filenames assigned by the Camera. In iPhoto you don't change Filenames you edit Titles. Titles are quite independent of filenames and are an entry in the Exif metadata.
I'm not sure what you've done in the renaming sequence, but iPhoto does not have a Sort -> by Name command. There is a Sort By Title command.
But you would not use Events for this job anyway. You would use an Album. Create an Album, drag the pics to it and then you can sort them in any order you want, manually. Then using the Batch Change Command you can create a sequence for them. So, Title the pics 'House Sale' and check the box to append number and the result:
House Sale 01, House Sale 02 etc

Vertical photos distorted in slide show

I have 'scale photos to screen' turned off during slide show. Still, some vertical photos in my slide show, but not all, appear distorted as if they were horizontal; i.e. the horizontal dimension is stretched. When I preview the same photo, it 'reloads' and then, when I continue the slide show with that photo, it appears with the correct vertical/horizontal ratio and looks right. The photos had been rotated to be upright after import. - Anyone have any idea what's going on? I can't for the life of me figure out what causes this. I have to go through all my vertical photos and preview them, one by one, before running the slide show to avoid that some vertical slides appear distorted.

No, video for viewing on TV is interlaced... it is shot with two fields, each shot at slightly different times, the two interlaced fields make up a frame. It is the time difference between when each frame was shot that gives the "jaggy" lines. A TV knows how to handle these fields whereas a computer monitor does not.

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Can different music be used with different set of photos in a slide show?

Yes. The basic idea is that you make a playlist of songs and choose that to use with the slideshow, rather than any particular song. In iPhoto 11 you can do this in iPhoto. In earlier versions you do this in iTunes.
There is a limitation. Each song will play the full way through, you can't croassfade from one to another and so on.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
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 arrange photos in an album, PE11

I am unable to find how to arrange photos in an album in PE11. Anybody have an idea?

When you have selected an album, look at the menu 'Sort by', next to the 'All media' button. Set it to 'Album order'. Then you can select (highlight) one or several items and move them around in the browsing space.
Note that PSE11 is missing the alphabetical sort order (that has been introduced in PSE12).

Photo names in slide shows.

Hi. Simple question. I can see how to add captions to a slide show (under preferences) but I would like to know if you can add the photo name to it (Besides the obvious of copying the name to the caption)? I'm using Photoshop Elements 6.0 on Windows Vista. What I need to do is take the photos, put them in a slide show, and give to a friends family so she and they can look at them and pick out which one(s) they want to print. With the photo names it would make life a lot easier. Thanks.
Walt

Wrong forum. Elements is two doors down on the left.

How to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud

how to upload and publish iphoto slide show to icloud on mac book pro

Just log into your MobileMe account and go to your iDisk and delete the iWeb site that is there.
You can load your other site there by simply dropping and dragging your files for your new site to the Sites folder on your iDisk. Alternatively, MobileMe uses webdav so you can use Cyberduck to publish too.

Video adapter only works for slide shows.

We received the Apple video adapter today. It appears that it only works for slide shows? It might also work for Keynote, but we don't use that much and haven't installed on the iPad. For our purposes, we'd like to be able to display from other programs- Numbers, Pages, and a PDF reader. This seems counterintuitive to business use if the adaptor isn't fully functional. We are hoping that a software upgrade will make the adaptor functional.

The iPad Dock Connector to VGA Adapter can play content to a VGA display when using the following apps:
Videos
Photos—Slideshow playback only
YouTube
Keynote
Safari—Video content on webpages
Whether Apple will add additional support in the future is unknown, but you can indicate your interest to Apple via their feedback page:

How to arrange photos acoording to time of exposed, taken by 3 photographers dumped in one file ?

How to arrange photos acoording to time of exposed, taken by 3 photographers dumped in one file ?

Hi Tim,
Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
Best Regards,
Ankur

I pad can you take only pictures you want for slide show

On ipad can you only use pictures you want for slide show?What is delete on top of photo page?Did not delete picture I marked.Thank you

And as is often the case with Apple, there's more than one way to do it. Another way to accomplish this is to download a copy of MPEG Streamclip as relayed by longtime iMovie Discussion Group participantAppleMan1958
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15808352#15808352
First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
Open MPEG Streamclip.
In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.

How to get the order for these decorations?

hello,
I want to programatically resize all the controls, indicators and decorations on the front panel.
I am getting the references of all the controls and indicators and able to resize them, as each n every control and indicator has a tabbing order set to it.
I am also getting the references of all the decoration used on the front panel but not able to get the order.
how to get the order for these decorations?

The order of the decorations is the same as the back to front order. So you
can change it by bringing decorations to front, or sending them to the back.
It has been suggested many times that decorations should have labels as well
as controls, but at the moment there is no way to tell which reference
belongs to which decoration (besides position and order).
Regards,
Wiebe.

Using downloaded songs for slide show background music

Maybe I am naive, but I just joined iTunes and downloaded some music to use as background for slide shows of family pics. I am using Microsoft Plus! to put the slide shows together. The iTunes songs downloaded in MPEG-4 and the Plus! code will only recognize MP3. I am also concerned that the copyright protection will make the songs not useable for the slide show compilations. Any ideas? Thanks!

In iTUnes you can burn the song to CD then reimport it as a MP3. Goto edit>preferences>advanced tab>Import sub tab, and set it from "AAC" to "MP3" then hit OK
Now burn the songs to CD in itunes. Put the CD back in and hit the "Import" button in the top right corner of itunes
