How to Make DVD Slideshow From iPhoto? I need help !!!!!

What's the easiest way to import about 160 photos from iPhoto to a DVD with background music to send to Grandmom as a slideshow? She's 83 and really wants to see a bunch of pictures of her grandkids, and loves the DVDs I've done in the past (using iLife '06). I now have iLife 2009.
I have attempted to get a DVD with music to burn, but it isn't working. As in the past, I have gone from iPhoto, dropping the selected photos into iMovie, added music from iTunes, and imported that to iDVD but it takes Sooooooo long (seems like this route used to be faster). Any way shorter? More efficient?
I do it that way because I recall that iDVD in prior versions was restricted to 99 photos, so I always went from iPhoto to iMovie to iDVD. But '09 is different than '06; I can't even get music to import from iTunes or play on the DVD I burned using this rather long procedure(not copy protected, either). So, I'm at a loss.
What am I doing wrong? How do I do it correctly?
Step by step instructions would be much appreciated!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You have to have a theme but you can have the slideshow begin automatically when the disk is inserted into a DVD player. Go to the Map mode in iDVD and drag the slideshow into the blue box at the far left:
Click to view full size
But there has to be a theme for iDVD to drop back to when it finishes the slideshow. BUT you could set the slideshow to loop endlessly so it would never drop back to the theme unless you stopped it manually and exited to the theme. You set the repeat option in the Advanced menu.

You need to return it to the seller and get your money back. You cannot reset or use the device with another AppleID installed unless you know the password for that ID.
If the device has been jailbroken, no one on here can give you any further help...the Terms of Use prohibit us from doing so.

How do I burn slideshow from iphoto to a dvd?

I am trying to burn a slideshow in iphoto directly to a dvd. I exported it to idvd, but have never used idvd and can't figure it out and don't have time right now. I just want to made a copy of a completed slideshow which exists in iphoto. Doesn't seem it should be this hard, but since I'm short on time, everything seems hard. Any help will be much appreciated! Thanks.

Do you want play the sideshow on a TV set? If so you need to use the Share ➙ iDVD menu option while in the slideshow mode. That will open iDVD and add the movie as a Quicktime file to the iDVD project.
Then make what changes to the theme of the project and use the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will create a disk image of the project. Open the disk image and launch DVD Player to play the DVD. If the disk image plays OK in DVD Player that's an indication that the encoding process was successful.
Next burn the disk image to disk using Disk Utility and burn at the slowest speed possible to ensure the best burn. Also use good quality disks like Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R. When you're done you'll be able to play the sideshow in any set top DVD player on a TV set.
If you just want a Quicktime movie version of your slideshow use the Export button at the bottom of the window and select size of the movie you want, usually medium or large.
Click to view full size
Then you can drag the movie file onto an empty disk on the desktop to burn. However, this method will require you to have a computer with Quicktime installed in order to play the slideshow.

How to create Inbound Idoc from XML file-Need help urgently

Hi,
can any one tell how to create inbound Idoc from XML file.
we have xml file in application server Ex. /usr/INT/SMS/PAYTEXT.xml' we want to generate inbound idoc from this file.we are successfully able to generate outbound XML file from outbound Idoc by using the XML port. But not able to generate idoc from XML file by using we19 or we16.
Please let me know the process to trigger inbound Idoc with out using XI and any other components.
Thanks in advance
Dora Reddy

Hi .. Did either of you get a result on this?
My question is the same really .. I am testing with WE19 and it seems SAP cannot accept an XML inbound file as standard.
I see lots of mention of using a Function Module.
Am I correct in saying therefore that ABAP development is required to create a program to run the FM and process the idoc?
Or is there something tht can be done with Standard SAP?
Thanks

Exported slideshow from iPhoto is blurry - HELP!!!

I've made a slideshow that I would like to share with my family but no matter what format I export it to the video is always blurry on their iphone or ipads or even computers. The slideshow looks great on my MAC and I've tried to change the settings to the iphone aspect as well as trying each of the three options for exporting. What am I doing wrong? How can I send this so the pictures are clear?

What aspect ratio are the photos in the slideshow? Have you tried cropping them to 3:2?
Happy New Year

Photos from Iphoto gone need help

Yesterday I did apps updates on my macbook air (yosemite), after that i tried to open iphoto but with came up with a message that the library is rebuilding.
After that, a new folder with "recovered photos" came up but no photos are showing - its all blank.
I tried time capsule - not working. I tried the master folder and its not working. I really need all my photos as I have my photography deadline for university in 3 days, and all of my work was backed up on iphoto
Any help would be much appreciated
I am using OS x Yosemite 10.10.1 on macbook air from 2013, 1.3 Ghz Intel Core i5, 4GB memory, iphoto 9.6

Again this is not clear
A Time Capsule is a piece of hardware that includes an airport router and a backup hard drive - it can be used as an external hard drive or it can be used as the location of your TimeMachine backup - how are you using it? If it is a TimeMachine backup then yu use TimeMachine to select and restore your desired library - Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac - Apple Support
Please explain exactly what you have and how you are using it - are you running Time Machine?

How to make it work in Europe? Need help

Hey!
I wonder if it is possible to use Samsung Galaxy S SCH-i500 Fascinate in other countries. This phone does not have sim card so I am asking for some help on working unlock in Poland I got it from my buddy from USA and I want to make Fascinate useful here in Poland It is possible to make it work on local operators without sim?
Thanks in advance!

Hello pepson93! The Samsung Fascinate is a CDMA only device, which makes it great for use in areas were CDMA signal is available. Unfortunately, the country of Poland does not have CDMA service providers so the Fascinate will not work there. I recommend seeking options for equipment with your local carriers. Best of luck!

Trying to make a slideshow in iphoto and export it to iDVD

I just got a Macbook Pro this week and I am using the ilife 6 suite on it. I imported about 50 pictures into iphoto and created a slideshow with 1 music track playing in the slideshow. I want to be able to play this slideshow on a dvd player hooked up to a tv so I exported the slideshow to iDVD. I notice, it takes an extremely long time to export the file into iDVD, after about 15minutes, an error message comes up saying "An error has occured exporting slideshow to idvd". I also get a message saying I'm running out of HD space when I have about 53gb remaining. I checked my HD space and the slideshow ended up eating 32gb of HD space so I just deleted it. Can anyone tell me how to make a slideshow in iphoto so that it plays on my dvd player?
Thanks

I'm not really sure how to do any of this. I've had a Mac for a year but haven't really learned to use iphoto or iDVD. Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks!

Better Slideshow from Iphoto or IDVD?

I have a project I'm working on. It's strictly going to be digital photos, but there are about 400 of them. IDVD can create the slideshow, but I can only fit 99 slides in each section. This means I have to make four different slideshow. Furthermore, IDVD will only apply one type of transition to each slideshow, not individual slides.
I can make a slideshow from Iphoto that fits all of the pictures and I can customize the transitions for each slide.
I'm just wondering which one provides a better quality slideshow. I understand that Iphoto has a few more options to work with, but slideshows can only be exported to small, medium, or large. Will there be a noticeable quality difference between the two programs?
Thanks for any input..

I made the video 720X480 or 'large'.
This is actually the rectangular ('thin') NTSC DV video pixel size - in digital still image terms the real size is 640x480.
I've noticed, sacrificing a dvd to do so,
that the slideshow I made from iphoto fills the
entire screen while the one from idvd does not. I've
also noticed that some of the edges (nothing really
major) are cut off on my CRT TV.
CRT display devices (like TV sets) have something called 'ovescan' to hide the syncronization pulses included in the video signal.
iDVD gives you a choice of correcting for overscan if your DVDs will be viewed on TV sets (but on computer monitors, you will see black edges).
The video does not look as good as it could, but I
guess it is acceptable. I wonder if we'll have
higher quality options in the future release of IDVD?
Right now we are limited by the NTSC/PAL DV specification. As we all make the transition to HD, things should get a little better.

How do I burn a slideshow from iPhoto to a DVD?

How do I burn a slidshow from iPhoto to a DVD?

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try but it only lets me import 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow.

How can I export a slideshow from iPhoto to iMovie 09. I try, but it only exports 211 out of the 311 photos I have in the slideshow I made on iPhoto.

how do i change the format to the right one?
Before you can decide what to do, you have to know what you are starting with. Sony MPEG-1 files would be converted one way while DivX or WMV files would likely be handled in another. Extraneous tracks can be removed directly with QT Pro but if you don't have QT Pro then there may or may not be other work around possibilities depending on the specific audio and video compression formats in use. The best place to start would normally be to double-clic the source file in iPhoto to open it in the QT Player. When it opens in the QT Player, check the "Inspector" window to see what it says on the "Format:" lines. This will tell you the type of audio and video content you are dealing with here. Then come and tell us so we can offer some specific conversion solutions.
