How to insert captions in iPhoto for slides

I've watched the videos and they say you can do it, but I cannot find in the menus. I see a Text Box under the Slide Show screen, but cannot engage it. I also click on the Settings icon and click on the Titles box, but I do not get a text box to insert the text on each slide.
My iPhoto is Version '11.
Your assistance is appreciated.

Gentlemen, that is Old Toad and Terry Devlin,
First, Old Toad, apologies for not getting my act together to submit a screen shot properly. Missed a few essential steps to do so. Terry, the screen shot I am including is self-explanatory in response to your instructions.
Here is the URL to access my iPhoto screen.

Question arising at my end, is why my iPhoto screen is not the same as either of yours. That is, I do not have a TEXT BOX icon. This is frustrating me to know end especially with having the latest version of iPhoto [at least I think I have.

Captions in iPhoto for Mac

It is easy to caption photos in iPhoto for iOS, by clicking "Add Caption." How do you caption photos in iPhoto for Mac? Where is the iPhoto for iOS caption stored in the Exif data?

Terence,
Thanks once again. At least in my version of iPhoto, the words "Add a description..." do not appear when you are looking at an individual photo, although they are there when looking at an Event. In my ignorance of iPhoto, I did not know that the dialog box was even there in the absence of the "Add a description..." indication. Once I found it by moving my cursor over there, I was able to type in the description (as well as the Title in the similarly unlabeled dialog box above. See below.

How to show iMovies in iPhoto (for iTunes to access for AppleTv and mobile)

I have read a few posts on this but cannot find a definitive answer...
If you import movies into iPhoto, iMovies can access them. But if you import into iMovies, it seems iPhoto cannot access them, which means iTunes cannot access them to stream to AppleTV or sync with my iPhone and iPad, as iTunes does not see iMovies.
Because I have a DV Camcorder I have to import my home movies to iMovie which gives me this above problem in that I cannot see them in iPhoto/iTunes/AppleTv.
So am I right in thinking the best way to have all applications see my movies is to export them from iMovie into iPhoto as follows:-
1) Rip to iMovies from the Camcorder
2) Find the files in Finder
3) Import into iPhoto
4) Delete the originals from iMovie
Then I should be able to see the newly imported files in iPhoto in iMovie AND iTunes??
I cant find or think of an alternate solution.
Thanks

I've decided to give the following a go...
Basically I originally wanted to use iPhoto for movies and photos so I have them all in one place and because I think Albums, Smartfolders etc. are great. Movies go hand in had with photos of the same event. But I also wanted them in iTunes to sync. with iPad, iPhone and play via Apple TV.
The file sizes from camcorder videos got me thinking I don't really want the massive files in iPhoto/iTunes/AppleTV etc. So have now decided to use iMovie as the library for the original large files, from which I can edit and make some compilations etc. then export those new movies of lower filesize (mp4?) into iPhoto for use with iTunes, Apple TV, iPhone and iPad.
I decided that when I finish importing I may look at putting the iMovie library with original DVs onto an external drive (due to filesize, if this is possible). So when I want to use iMovie to import and edit and make movies I will plug in the external hard drive where they all are, do my stuff, then can unplug and put away. That way I do not need to delete the originals due to filesize (I did not want to have to re-import from the camcorder again in future so do want them stored somewhere).
It also means I dont have every single video I shot in iPhoto, iTunes etc., not all of them are good.
Then my main computer with the iPhoto library has all my created and edited and new format movies to store for use with iTunes, Apple TV etc.
So I think this sounds like a good plan for me.
iMovie -> Original movie library manager (external drive due to filesize)
iPhoto -> Photos and edited movies library manager (Mac drive for AirPlay and mobile sync)

IMovie or iPhoto for slide shows?

I use my digital camera to take photos of our trips, and I save them as DVD slide shows, complete with narration and music, so that my wife and I can enjoy them. However, since I upgraded to iLife 9 I have been having a problem. When I import the slide show into iMovie and then import the edited audio, iMovie "remembers" the first edition of the audio, which means that subsequent edited audio shows the wrong time. I know the audio track (always a MP3 in my case) is right - I have checked it several times. In case the good folks on the iMovie forum can't tell me how to fix that problem in iMovie, my question is this - would I be better off using slideshow in iPhoto, then exporting the whole slideshow in a movie format into iMovie, then cleaning up the whole thing and adding chapters, titles, fancy transitions, etc.? This matching audio to the slide length is taking me 2-3 times longer now than it did in iMovie 7 (iLife 8).

You can give this basic remedy a try for the problem with iMovie. Quit iMovie and delete your iMovie preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.imovie.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iMovie; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
If you have iMovie HD6, you could use that to get the results you want. I am not familiar with subsequent versions.
Does the slideshow play the way you want in iPhoto? You could create your slideshow with edited music in iPhoto and then export as a QuickTime movie. This movie can then be imported into iDVD for burning.
I hope this helps.

How to get the best iPhoto/Aperture slide shows on Apple TV

Hi. I'd like to do very simple slideshows on Apple TV 2nd generation for friends and family, but haven't been able to get it to work very well. My needs, I think, are simple:
No gimimick transitions, e.g. no Ken Burns. I don't mind an ultra-brief fade in/out, but that's about it. I found Classic, and that seems to work. I'm only mentioning it as it might have a bearing on the next two.
I'd like complete control over advancing slides using the Apple Remote, or the Remote app on the iPad. No auto-advancing. If we're all enjoying, talking about a memory, the last thing I want is that memory suddenly yanked away to the next slide. When I try to pause, it pauses the music instead of the slides.
I'd like the photos to have 720p resolution, which is what the Apple TV 2nd generation is capable of. All the originals are higher resolution (typically 3000 vertical, varying widths depending no how I've cropped), but sometimes the Apple TV decides to make them much grainier than one would expect from 720p. Other times they look fine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.

How to add captions in iphoto

what is the easiest way to add a caption to a picture in iphoto?

Use the Description box in the Info window.
Or do you mean onto the face of the photo? If so, you'll need an external editor for that.
In order of price here are some suggestions:
Seashore (free)
The Gimp (free)
Graphic Coverter ($45 approx)
Acorn ($50 approx)
Pixelmator ($50 approx)
Photoshop Elements ($75 approx)
There are many, many other options. Search on MacUpdate. You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.

How to insert own "Album Graphics" for movies

Hi,
I have plenty of own movies which I transfered to itunes.
Currently Itunes shows the first frame of the movie as the "movie cover art".
But I would like to insert own pictures as cover art for each movie (like the picture of the CD-album in the music section of Itunes).
I tried with copy-paste (copy a picture and paste it in the lower left corner of the Itunes window, when the desired movie was selected, but in the grid or cover flow view nothing has changed)
Has anybody an idea if it is possible?

Hello,
"But I would like to insert own pictures as cover art for each movie (like the picture of the CD-album in the music section of Itunes)."
I think the glitch lies in the format. Check out this link: http://www.ehow.com/how2098517make-itunes-artwork.html
I use Apple's Preview to reformat image files. Open the image file using Preview. Then from the Menu Bar click File/Save As In the dialog box where it says: Format Click either JPG or PNG. Then copy and paste that into your iTunes/Get Info/Artwork window. The only problem with Preview is that it can't resize images and for iTunes artwork they need to be 300 x 300 pixels. If you have iPhoto, part of the iLife suite of software, you can resize the image in that first.

HT4927 How can I enlarge my Iphotos for streaming on my TV with Apple TV?

I'm so frustrated at this point, as I'm sure each of you have been from time to time. I can zoom, but I cannot get the photos to stay put as an enlargement. I cannot get them to enlarge to the size of my television screen. Can someone help me on this? Believe me, if you can, you will have done your good deed for the day, which will be more than appreciated. Bev

No one can help since we only know what you tell us you you told us nothing.
Like what version of iPhoto and of the OS? Which Apple TV? What setting do you have on your Apple TV (and for detailed ATV questions the ATV fourm is a better place to ask)? What do you mean by "zooming" and by "cannot get photos to stay as an enlargement? What is the screen ratio for your TV? What is the ratio for the photos?
In general I expect the resolution to be ATV settings but with zero information beyound you have a problem that you do not know how to solve no one can be sure. And if you have a 16x9 screen and either 3x2 or 4x3 photos (the two most common ratios) then they will not fill a 16x9 screen without distortion

How to insert a new rows for missing rows

Hi,
I have data like below.Generally the heirarchy like Manager,Supervisor,clerk and Jr.clerk. But, some times clerk directly reports to Manager that time i need to show "no supervisor" when retrive the data. Is there any way can we do that by using the sql query instead writing the procedure or function.
The heirarchy is not only three levels. Just i have given a sample data.

Query x_missing_hrchy determines for each Hrchyid_sq how many managers are missing:

         8          4 Tony           1             3After that you just select the name of the missing role and add the original hierarchy to the set to get the requested output:

How to insert date column entry for new row from adf bc tester

Hi,
JDeveloper version 11.1.1.5.0
I have a table with a DATE column. I am trying to insert a new row into the table from the ADF BC Tester. While providing value to the DATE column I am hitting the below error:
(oracle.jbo.domain.DataCreationException) JBO-25009: Cannot create an object of type:oracle.jbo.domain.Date from type:java.lang.String with value:2011/12/06
Please let me know what should be the format to specify date value while inserting entry using BC Tester.
Thanks
Rathnam

How to insert step to given position ?

Hi,
I have sequence with Select Case structure and want to insert steps within Case-End. How to do that ? I found that index of step can be readable by TS_SequenceGetStepIndex(SequenceHandle, &errorInfo, szTestType, TS_StepGroup_Main, &val), but how to insert new step after, for example Case ? For function TS_SequenceInsertStep (SequenceHandle, &errorInfo, actionStep, iNumofSteps, TS_StepGroup_Main) is not available index (iNumofSteps is zero and not work as index of step and can only apply for order of inserting of steps (first step on begin or to end)).
Currently I create all (Select, Case, End and steps that need to be within Case-End), but if basic structure can be as default (including Select, case etc), only content need to be updated, not all construction.
(CVI/LabWindows coding)
best regards,

Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi All,
Yes, it was right solution. Only thing is that need to take iNumofSteps for step before and if you want to insert new step (or steps), this index shold be increased by 1.
error = TS_SequenceGetStepIndex (SequenceHandle, &errorInfo, "TuningTimeAfterLNA", TS_StepGroup_Main, &val);
iNumofSteps=val+1;
//add
tsErrChkMsgPopup( TS_EngineNewStep (EngineHandle, &errorInfo, "", "Label", &actionStep));
tsErrChkMsgPopup( TS_StepSetName ( actionStep, NULL, szTestType));
tsErrChkMsgPopup( TS_SequenceInsertStep ( SequenceHandle, &errorInfo, actionStep, iNumofSteps, TS_StepGroup_Main ));
best regards,

How do I add text to individual slides in slideshow to make a caption?

How do I add text to individual slides in a slideshow in order to make a caption on each slide?

It will depend on the theme you are using for the slide show.
For some themes you can add custom text or metadata to the slide as captions, for example the "Classic" theme. Use the "Selected Slides" tab and enable "Text".

How can add captions or title to a picture now that iPhoto doesn't work after updating to iOS 8.

I Have updated to iOS 8 and iPhoto is dismissed. How can add a caption /title (not in the image) like I was used with iPhoto? Photos has not this feature.
please, could anyone help me. I'm a real beginner. Thanks,

The photos.app does not (yet) have the option to add captions or tags. It is not possible right now. You can however search for the captions you added previously using the search field. You can also search for album names. So, as a work-around, put photos that should have the same caption into an album with a name like the caption.
See: Migrating from iPhoto for iOS to Photos on iOS 8
You may want to send feedback to Apple, that captions and tags are essential and need to be added in an update. Use this form: Apple - iPhoto - Feedback
