HOW TO FIX ?  SLIDE SHOW STOPPED WORKING

I am running IPhoto Ver 9.2.3.  ("Iphoto-11") on an Intel Imac Core i5 currently empowered by Mac OS Version 10.6.8.
Suddenly  ,my  Iphoto will no longer run slideshows.  
None of the commands and buttons available in various IPhoto "views" will work tostart a slideshow and they all produce the same result:  a brief dimming or flashing of the screen and then - nothing:  absolutely no slide show .
I have tried turning off the screensaver slide show hoit corner, in case it was interfering but this has made no difference.
Iphoto's Slide Show has simply decided to suddenly no longer work .
What is the fix for this particular bug, weakness or susceptibility in the software ?  Anyone know ?
I can think of nothing I might have done to cause this failure. 

Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does not then your current library is damaged.  If that's the case try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto slide show stopped working, just showing the first chosen picture, the same with the sound. iPhoto 9.5.1(902 17), MacBook Pro and Maverics. How to solve this problem?

    iPhoto slide show stopped working, now showing just the first chosen picture, and the same with the music. iPhoto 9.5.1 (902.17), operating system Maverics 10.9.2
    How solve this problem?

    There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually.  Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
    To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.
    Send a bug report to Apple viahttp://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Why does slide show stop working?

    When I was creating tablet version layout from desktop layout, the slide show stopped working. Do you know why?

    Seems odd, it should work. I would do a test. Add a new slideshow widget onto the tablet layout, leaving the images that Muse has and test to see if that works. If it does then there is an issue with the file you are coping in.

  • IWeb 09 slide show stopped working

    Hi
    My slide show function will not work anymore. I have the proper box checked for the show to run. This started after the last OS update to 10.6.3.
    I have not published the site yet....but the slide show function should work even if it has not been published yet would it not?
    Don't know what else to do....
    Thanks for any suggestions.
    kingtobee

    Thanks Old Toad
    I thought that the show worked without uploading it,,, but I guess I am wrong according to the next reply. The site is not actually up, but will be soon. If the problem continues even after uploading, I'll be back....thanks!

  • Desktop Wallpaper Slide-Show stopped working

    I wanted to use the background slideshowing and it stopped working on my Windows. It's somehow funny, after restart Windows switches the background exactly 1 time. After this first time it doesn't work until I do another restart. I've tried several things to get it working, not loading all applications, using the built-in themes, removing graphics card drivers and much more.
    But this is obviously a bug in Windows itself. (on 2 other PCs with Windows 7 RC it works like a charm).
    Any ideas?
    .

    Deleting the SLIDESHOW.INI file located in:
    %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
    did the trick.  It's a hidden file, so, if you can't see it, you must set your viewer to "Show Hidden Files"
    Thanks for the help!
    Whilst searching for a solution to this problem I tried all the suggestions on this thread. None worked for me but this one, from another forum, did:
    Maybe your TranscodedWallpaper.jpg file has become corrupted.
    Open explorer and type the following in the adress bar and hit Enter:
    %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Themes\
    Here, rename TranscodedWallpaper.jpg to TranscodedWallpaper.old.
    Next, double-click slideshow.ini file to open it with Notepad. Empty its contents. That is, select all the text and delete it. Save the changes (You'll probably need to remove the read only). Close explorer windows.
    Now try editing your desktop background once more.
    Like I said, this worked for me! Good luck if there's anyone else that needs help with this! :)

  • Picasa slide shows stopped working in Firefox. They work fine in Google chrome. How do I fix this problem?

    I update a website for a Habitat for Humanity website. I have used the Picasa slideshows for years and they have worked perfectly in Firefox until Friday.
    They still work perfectly in Google Chrome. So, the problem is specific to Firefox. I have updated the Flash Player. What do I need to do to fix the problem? It is important for our affiliate to have people be able to see the photos of volunteers at work building.

    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Try first to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    If you are on one of the latest Skype versions (>6.3), then do also this:
    Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

    How do I move Elements 8 projects (slide shows) from a Windows XP computer to new Windows 7 computer that also has Elements 8 on it so that the slides shows will work (Elements 8 works well on the Windows 7 computer & I have done several new slide show projects on it)?    I tried backup & restore without success.  I have also found the .psess files and copied them to the catalog in the new computer but when the sides shows are opened none of the images or music is there.  Only the text that I entered shows.  I have even tried to replicate the file paths from the XP computer to the new computer to see if that will help.

    UPDATE:  By a stroke of luck I happened to find a catalog link (a PSE8D file) in the 'My Catalog' file where the imported data was stored.  When I clicked on it to investigate what is was 'magically' all of my transferred projects appeared in Organizer.  Upon further investigation I found that the projects transferred from my XP computer were stored in a hidden catalog that had to be accessed through the Custom Location option in Catalog Manager (accessed by clicking File then Catalog then Custom Location).  No Windows or Elements search revealed this fact.  I am appreciative that I just got lucky.  The Adode/Photoshop company was absolutely of no help.  If fact to me their structure is designed to avoid contact with their customers unless you're buying a new product.  Their products have many good features (even though user unfriendly) and it's a shame they don't value their customers more once the sale is completed. 
    Bottom line:  All of the projects (sideshows) have been recovered and work in my new Windows 7 computer.  I hope my experience helps others.

    My transparency does not work on my iPhone and I was wondering how I fix that? It worked when I first downloaded ios7 but not now.

    Hello wilsontot_too,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing on your iPhone.  It sounds like you are not noticing transparency on your iPhone.  It may be that you have "Increase Contrast" turned on in your iPhone settings.
    I recommend verifying that Increase Contrast is turned off in Settings>General>Accessibility.

    Hi,
    I will gladly help you with your problem but please give me a
    link to your gallery wither as a private message or by email
    ([email protected]). The files here pasted are incorrect, look to
    the SetSlideShowTimer() or the StartSlideShow() functions above
    that are incomplete. Not mentioning that the CSS are really make
    the difference.
    It will take me more time to try to reconstruct your
    structure, not having all the files you reference and probably not
    being able to duplicate your problem because the deployment
    failure.

    I think this link will offer some good insight. I would recommend moving the library to an external HD if you are already using iPhoto on your MBP. If you do decide to move the library directly to your MBP just make sure you are using a different enough name for it that your MBP can easily locate each library independently.
