HT4362 iPhoto 9.4.2:  why it is impossible to display slide shows on an Apple TV (only events and albums)?

Hi all,
I have iPhoto 9.4.2 and an AppleTV (2nd generation).
On the AppleTV I have no problems in playing pictures stored in the iPhoto library when the pictures are organized in an Event or in an Album, but when my pictures are organized in a Slide Show, they aren't visible in the AppleTV.
My purpose is to play on the AppleTV a slide show with exactly the same picture sequence and music I've set up in the Slide Show settings on my Mac...
I know that in theory I could use an Album, but unfortunately the AppleTV does not retain the picture sequence and the music...

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 the problem does not appear with the new library the old library is the culprit.
In that case  make a temporary, backup copy of your library if you don't already have one (Control-click on the library and select Duplicate from the contextual menu) 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.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - 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.
4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - 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.  However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Iphoto, Creating events and Albums

    I have attempted to create events and albums on the photo app in Ipad with no success. I have also synced the iPad to itunes and transfered pictures from an existing iphoto (macbook pro) event with no success. How can i create events and albums on the Ipad so i can seperate new pictures into specific areas for viewing.

    You can't. Photos on the iPad doesn't have organising features. You can't create groupings, or copy from one event/whatever to another. You have limited features in the 'camera roll' for images you've saved onto the iPad - you can delete them or share them.
    Your organising has to be done on the Mac in iPhoto or Aperture. Both create Events based on metadata from the image (date and time and so on). You can make albums and sync the albums to the iPad.
    I know that isn't what you want, but it's all we've got. It bears repeating - the iPad is not a completely standalone device - it's dependent on a desktop and iTunes for its full functionality.

  • Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

    I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11.  However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option.  Is there any way to do this?

    I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
    iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
    Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
    However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
    I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

    They should, yes.  You should have a full and complete backup as well, of course.

  • Can't sync all events and albums from iphoto 08 to ipod touch 4th generation using itunes

    Hi from San Juan! Just got my new ipod touch 4th generation, since my 2nd generation was stolen a couple of months ago, and when it finished its sync process, I noticed that out of my 16,000 + photos in iphoto, only 2,435 were synced. Tried again numerous times, changing options, ("selected albums and events", "all" etc,), but nothing worked. Ever since I've had my Mac, I've only used iphoto to download, organize and share my photo collection; same cameras also. With my previous ipod, the sync process ran smoothly, and always got ALL my albums and events under the "photos" icon of my ipod. What's happened? What's changed? I'll welcome suggestions and / or solutions. Thanks in advance. Sandra

    where on my computer am I suppose to make the individual picture files and have them to upload on my ipod touch.... I do have a photo library on my computer, but in the photo tab in itunes for the ipod touch and there is nothing checked for syncing, cause when I do check it it always says its going to replace everything i have in my photo library on my ipod touch.....  So how am i suppose to have it checked and have it NOT replace pictures on it????
    Also I cannot make more photo albums into my ipod touch, it just replaces the one album every time....
    I am very frustrated cause I have tried the manuals and the apple support help etc and nothing pertains to my exact issue.....
    Please if u could elaberate I would appreciate it alot..... 
    thank u

  • Iphoto closes when trying to add my music to a slide show

    Try, if any of the fixes described here will help:
         iOS: Troubleshooting applications purchased from the App Store
    Do you have enough free space on your iPhone? iPhoto needs plenty of working space, i.e. slideshows with music.

  • All events and albums are gone from iPhoto

    My library is still in the same location and still 540GB big, but when I open it there is nothing in iPhoto.

    My library is still in the same location and still 540GB big, but when I open it there is nothing in iPhoto.
    What has changed?  Did you just update or upgrade iPhoto to the new version 9.6, to be compatible with Yosemite?
    Is iPhoto opening the correct library? Ctrl-click the word "iPhoto" in the title bar of the main iPhoto window. The drop-down menu will show you, which iPhoto library is currently open.
    If the correct library is open, but looking empty, select the iPhoto Library in the Finder and look inside by ctrl-clicking it and using the command "Show Package Contents". Are there photos in the folder "Masters", or is there a folder "Old Masters"?

  • Why Won't PreE Burn my Slide Show Project to a DVD?

    I created a slide show using PE 6 and sent it to PreE 4. However, when I try to burn it to a DVD using PreE 4 it just quits on me? Then I can't even open PreE?? I really don't know what's happening?? My complete slide show is saved in PreE 4 and I can find it at  adobe\Premiere Elements\4.0\ project name. However, when I try to open it nothing happens. I thought perhaps my slide show was too big for PreE but that doesn't appear to be the problem. My saved PreE 4 slideshow is 8.29 MB and PE 6 slideshow gives a play time of 56:43 Min after creation.
    A standard  DVD is at 120 minutes and 4.7 GB
    Can anyone tell me what the devils happening here or at least give me some direction to solve this dilemna.
    Thanks for any help provided.

    The slideshow created in Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor exists there as a creation and goes no where until you output it to something else. If your goal is a DVD-VIDEO version of your slideshow and you want to use Premiere Elements to generate the DVD-VIDEO, before Photoshop Elements 5/Premiere Elements 3, you had to output your slideshow as a file sized .wmv video and import that into Premiere Elements. The use of the .wmv limited the possibilities for further edits of the slideshow that arrived on the Premiere Elements Timeline as one whole video rather than individual photos. Further, there were those that questioned the use of the .wmv version for quality reasons. I never found that to be the case.
    But, if you have the specific combinations of Photoshop Elements 5/Premiere Elements 3 OR Photoshop Elements 6/Premiere Elements 4 OR Photoshop Elements 7/Premiere Elements 7, you obtain the perk of being able to send your Photoshop Elements slideshow to Premiere Elements in a non wmv form which can be broken apart allowing for further significant edits. The keys to doing this are:
    a. Specific sets 5/3 or 6/4 or 7/7
    b. Use of the Photoshop Elements Slideshow Editor Output option of “Send to Premiere Elements” which then makes available the “Break Apart Photoshop Elements Slideshow” command in Premiere Elements (right click video on Timeline, select “Break Apart Photoshop Elements Slideshow”). If you had some mismatch of Photoshop Elements Premiere Elements versions, like 6/7, the Photoshop Elements Output option of “ Send to Premiere Elements” would be available, but once the slideshow got to Premiere Elements, the “Break Apart Photoshop Elements Slideshow” would not.
    Immediately after the output is completed in the Media panel you will see:
    a. Folder containing the individual photo and video assets
    b. A file representing the intact slideshow in video form
    On the Timeline you will see your intact slideshow video form.
    The Time Stretch Tool is used to change duration. You can use:
    a. (less precise) The Time Stretch Tool Icon above the Timeline. Click that, watch your mouse cursor turn into a vertical bar with a cross (diagonal arrow and red bar) superimposed, then click on drag end of image.
    b. (more precise). The Time Stretch feature via right clicking the image on the Timeline, selecting Time Stretch, and typing in the duration.
    c. in either case, any gaps created on the Timeline are gotten rid of by right clicking the gap and clicking on the “Delete and Close Gap” pop up.
    When you go to decrease the duration or when you are changing the duration of an image at the end of the Timeline, everything will be going as you expected. HOWEVER, when it comes to increasing the duration or changing the duration of an image in the middle of the Timeline, you will need to move the images to make room for the expansion and then close the gaps.
    Before I go on to some other things, I should go back to the Media panel and its contents immediately after receiving the Photoshop Elements Slideshow. You can open the folder with assets (photos & videos) in the Project Media View. If you right click one of the files, select Time Stretch, change the duration of the image, the duration of that file will be changed and be reflected if you drag that file from Project View Media area to the Timeline. BUT, this will not change the duration of that image which is already on the Timeline.
    There are so many other aspects of this that I will save for another time. One of the things that we could talk about is creating slideshow and the DVD-VIDEO slideshow all within Premiere Elements and bring into play:
    Premiere      Elements’ Create Slideshow feature to set image duration OR transition      duration all at one time
    Changing      the Premiere Elements default duration (5 sec) via Edit      Menu/Preferences/General
    Pans & Zooms with Edit Menu/Effects/Presets/Horizontal and Vertical Pans or Zooms as well as creating Pans & Zooms with keyframing.
    I am probably running into the Flash Player and Premiere Pro Forum space by now. Please focus me in on your specific issues and I will continue with my what works for me comments.

  • Why can't I burn my slide show to DVD in photoshop elements 13. Do I have to buy another program update .?

    Photo shop elements make a nice slide show but will not let me burn it to DVD which makes it useless to me.
    How do I get the photoshop slide show to burn in another program.?

    Thanks so much for your possible solution. If I can pull this off , I will no longer curse adobe PSE 13.
    I'm still a long was off to accomplish this goal but I will surely give it a try. H264 (mp4) is still Greek to me.

    PE 13 makes a nice slide show, but I can't share it with anyone. I can only play it on my computer.
    How do I burn it to DVD. It does not give me that option.
    Do I have to buy an upgrade to be able to do it.?

  • Why is the old app version is showing even when the app was deleted and downloaded again?

    There is an app that I downloaded, which we updated (as we made this app) but when we did, the updates are not showing on the app. I deleted the app and downloaded it again but still the updated version is not showing. I tried downloading the app from another phone and the updated version is showing.
    I have tried to research on this and found this link which I found to be most helpful but even after following the steps the old app is still showing on my iphone 4s:

    Would appreciate all the help I can get

    Sometimes the battery life may be at, say 80% while it is at 100% charge;
    so the numbers may indicate a replacement battery is needed. An Apple
    Store with genius bar, or an authorized Apple service provider could be
    helpful in determining the battery and charging system health and also
    provide a replacement battery. Figure a computer more than a few years
    old may be due for a new battery...
    If you call ahead to discuss an appointment with a genius or specialist,
    be sure to note your product serial number and ask about replacement
    battery availability, since that option should be present should it need to
    be replaced. Not sure if they'd want to check the magsafe adapter, too.
    Hopefully an SMC reset may help, if not see an authorized Apple specialist.
    Good luck & happy computing!
