HT1338 Choosing music for slideshows

Hi, I am having trouble in selecting music to play with a slide show in iPhoto. I can see all my iTunes library but when i select a track it simply won't play in the slide show. Can anyone help?

Your idea of starting the music and then starting a slideshow is a possible work-around, but still it seems like one should be able to have programmed music for a slideshow just like in iPhoto, or the video iPods.

  • Music for slideshows on the Touch?

    Unlike my video iPod, when I look at the settings options for Photos on my iPod Touch, there are no music options. When I play my "slideshows", they are silent. The Apple support tech told me that you cannot have music for slideshows on the Touch. Can this be accurate? That seems odd to me. Anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how?

  • Iphoto 9.1.3 – couldn't choose music for a slideshow

    Could somebody help me? Tried to put music to slideshows – but no reaction from the pulldown menu „Quelle“

    Make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and try the three fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - delete  the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder. 
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache files that are located in your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Fix #2
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #3
    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.

  • Samples of music for slideshow

    Where do I get samples of music for a slideshow . I just want a melow song/beat as the slideshow shows pictures?

    If you go to the music browser in iMovie, and navigate to the iLife/Jingles section, you will find a lot of music tracks you can use in your iMovie. These are royalty free and can be used in places like YouTube.
    For more places to get music, see my tip here.

    You can use any track from your iTunes library, but I do not recommend this if you will put it on YouTube or FaceBook, because they can tell that you are violating copyright. They may not take your video down, but they will sell ads and give the money to the record company that owns the copyright. It can be annoying to have your friends have to watch an ad to see your video.

  • No longer able to program music for slideshow?

    For some reason when I try to play any slideshow on my tv and choose setting, when it comes to music it is stuck on "DEFAULT MUSIC NONE".   I can't bring up any of my iTunes library playlists or the Themes provided by Apple TV.  I can only turn shuffle songs off and on and that I think brings up the entire library (including Spanish lessons LOL).   I have upgraded the Apple TV software to the latest and also iTunes to latest version.   No matter what button I push on the Apple TV remote nothing changes.  I disconnected the Apple TV and reconnected it.  Only thing I haven't done yet is turn off and on the router.  Apple TV other programs all work alright as far as I know.  Any suggestions?

    I solved the problem myself.  I kept hitting the same buttons on the remote, and finally the Apple iTune Library came up including all the Apple TV themes.  Don't know why it finally worked.  Didn't do anything I haven't tried before.  One of those computer quirks.  Do you suppose computers sometimes like to mess around with us humans?

  • Music for slideshows when streaming

    I almost pulled my hair trying to figure this out. If you want to just stream and watch slideshows but hear no music do this:
    Make sure that you are streaming (settings>Add shared library)
    Go back to the top menu, select photos>shared photos and go to the settings inside this menu. NOT the settings for the main section of photos. It is above the albums in your shared photos.
    Or you could sync everything but that is just not for me.

    You could also set up a syncing library and choose to sync nothing but photos. This allows you many of the benefits of the primary library that you don't get by setting up a secondary library.

  • Music for slideshows

    How do I add additional music to a slideshow I create in I-Photo? When I choose more than one song it only plays the last one selected.

    If you plan on using iDVD to burn the iPhoto slideshow to disk the only factor to consider is the playing time of it . iDVD can burn a 120 minute QT movie file. If you're going to use the finder and burn the resulting QT movie file export the file and check the size.
    If you do use iDVD I suggest after sending the slideshow to iDVD, delete it from the iDVD project, create a slideshow in iDVD and open its organizational window. Go to your Movies folder, locate the movie file just created and drag into the iDVD slideshow. This will allow the movie to be scaled to the TV safe area and not have any of it lost when played on a TV set due to TV overscan.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Music for slideshow

    Is it possible to pick more than one song for the slideshow on the ipad2?  I have a slideshow with over 600 pictures and listening to one song over and over is getting a bit old. 

    In the Photos app no - a work-around is to start the music playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start the slideshow (with no music selected in the slideshow settings).

  • Selecting music for slideshows on Apple TV

    When I want to show my photos on Apple TV as a slideshow, the program randomly picks music from my i-Tunes library to accompany the slides. Sometimes the music "works", sometimes it is inappropriate and distracting. Can I control which music accompanies my slideshows without going to the work of formally creating the show in i-Movie?

    If you have the latest update for Apple TV and if you have an iPod Touch or iPhone then you can use the Remote Application to change the song while viewing a Photo slide show.

  • Music for slideshow stops in Organizer 11  and 12

    Is anyone else having this problem.? It just recently started.  I am using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.  Music starts, then stops after a few seconds.  Happens with the music that comes with the program as well as imported music.  Music plays in Organizer, just not with the slideshow option.

    Why are you posting this question in an iWeb forum?  Does it have anything to do with iWeb?
    Why not go and post it in the iPhoto forum and you might get more help there.

  • No music for slideshows

    Just upgraded my iPhoto for iOS7 and I get no sound when I have music selected for slide shows.
    Anyone else have this - any hints as to what the heck is going on and how to fix it...
    Thanks
    RB

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

  • Choosing music for iCloud

    I just purchased iTunes Match ,my music library in iTunes consists of over 3400 songs all purchased in iTunes.
    I have 3 play lists that go to my iphone and a couple iPods .
    My question is ...
    Is there a way to go through my library and see what songs I didn't use in a play list so I can store them in the cloud?
    thanks

    No "homesharing" so that's clear now. Thanks for that.
    Start iTunes Match: I tried that before and did it again. I go to Store>Turn On iTunes Match and when I click on it in I get the iTunes Match screen asking to subscribe (again). Clicking "No Thanks" ends that.
    Clicking "purchased" Music in the Store tells me that I have nothing to download.

  • Selected music for slideshow won't play.Just makes a distorted noise Help!

     

    Then I would post that in the iTunes forum. As the share isn't working in multiple apps it points to iTunes as the issue.

    Cannot select a music into slideshow and book slideshow presentations. In the older Mac this was easy. With new Mac OS X 10.6.8 it should work as I can stop the slideshow with cursor but pop up window for choosing music is dead. I cannot drag music into it. Preselected music just goes on.

    I am talking about iPhoto. In my old Mac even in Books choosing slideshow gives a pop up where you can select a music from I tunes library. In this new one I can stop the slideshow with cursor and it shows music option but it is, as I said dead. Does not response at all to commands.
