I photo forgets slideshow settings!

when pressing play on events to open the slideshows it automatically selects ken burns effect etc. i always turn this off and then click save these settings.
next time i open the slideshow it has forgotton the settings and turned the defaults back on.
how can i stop this?

Check inside the iPHoto library package to make sure you don't have duplicates of the photos inside the package but only one copy being shown in the library. The library package had the originals in it already and when you imported them again I think you may have doubled the number of image files in the library. If that's the case and there are duplicate subfolders within the Originals folder (the new imported folders may have a _1 tagged on the end of the folder name) try moving a subfolder out of the package leaving the _1 version there, launch iPhoto and verify that the photos for that event are still in the library. If that's the case you can remove all of the original subfolders from the Originals folder. Then do the same for the Data and Modified folder.
The correct way to have recovered from your situation is:
Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Open the library package like this.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • Slideshow settings  made impossible by a big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo,

    Slideshow settings made impossible by big black rectangle covering the upper-left half of the screen/photo, appearing when I move the cursor. Disappears when I start the slideshow. Restart does not help.

    Thanks,
    -  First: Linc Davis' question seems to be relevant: Indeed, when I disconnect my second display, the problem disappears.  However, reconnecting the display makes the problem reappear again. 
    - I use iPhoto 9.5.1. and Mac OS 9.5.2.  The machine is a MacPro first part of 2008 (not a MacBook Pro as I inadvertantly said in my original question). Processor 2X2,8 GHz Quad-core intel Xeon. Memory 6 GB, with new (2yrs old) 2 TB SATA-disk (WDC WD2002FYPS-02w380 Media) as hard disk.
    - Here is a screenshot of what I am seeing - with only part of the settings display (in Norwegian) visible.
    - I have looked for a solution in the iPhoto settings, turned the program off& on, and restarted the computer, all without success.
    -  The library is, as I understand it, located in users/[me]/pictures/iPhoto Library.
    -  No, as I remember I did not apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem.  I have regularly updated the programs, as they come, without checking the results on each program.
    -  I run a managed library
    -  Apparently there is 1,29 TB free space (out of 2 TB) on my boot drive [=central hard drive, see above?].

  • Slideshow settings not 'sticking'

    Hi All,
    Have a lot trouble with newly downloaded iPhoto 9.1.1. Specifically, when working with slideshow, settings for individual photos are not being saved.
    For example: I select specific 'Ken Burns' settings—zoom settings for instance—for an individual image. They remain as set until an indeterminate amount of time and then are lost. I might be editing the settings for the sixth image in the slideshow before noticing that the settings for the second image have reverted.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    S

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    *What's the plist file?*
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Ow do I keep the slideshow settings window from popping up?

    every time I start a slideshow in iPhoto 7.1.1, the slideshow settings window keeps on popping up, even if I save the display and music settings.
    This is useless and annoying. Where do I change the settings such that I am not asked about the slideshow settings every time anew?
    thanks for any help!

    If your using an album and playing a slideshow with the play button at the bottom of the page hold down the Option key and hit the play button. That will bypass the setting window if you have saved the settings. Those settings will be linked to that album so if you remove the photos and put new ones in the same settings will still be valid.
    Barry:
    If the slideshow button is not in the toolbar at the bottom go to the View->Show in Toolbar menu and select Slideshow.
    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.

  • Random photos in slideshow

    I forgot how to show my photos randomly in Slideshow using the Ken Burns effect.

    If you mean in random order, the setting is called "shuffle", and is at the top of the slideshow settings. If you mean random transitions, you need to go to the "Ken Burns" setting and choose "random" from the list of transitions.

  • I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when i hit play the computer locks up and i have to crash it

    I'm unable to change slideshow settings for flagged folder, when I hit play the computer locks yp and I jave to crash it to reboot

    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 the problem lies with your original library.
    If that's the case try the following on your original library:
    If you have the space available on your hard drive and don't aready have a backup copy of the library make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Commadn+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.

  • ATV doesn't show all photos in slideshow

    My ATV3 doesn't show all my photos in slideshow. It seems to repeat the same, say 50, over and over, even though I have about 400 in the folder on my windows7 PC.
    Whats the fix?
    Thanks
    Andy

    For the avoidance of doubt are you talking about the screensaver or the slideshows.
    Slideshows should show all your photos, but screensavers will not. Screensavers need to save the photos to the Apple TVs flash storage, the Apple TV doesn't have a lot of this and so limits the number of photos it uses.

  • Photos in slideshow "smear"

    I'm using iPhoto '09 on 2 machines.  On my G4 PPC (non-Intel) running OSX 10.5.8 photos in slideshow mode (not in albums, or library) show a "smear" at the edges.  (This smear seems to fill in the black band at picture edges.)  This crazy phenomenon does not appear on my iBook with the same iPhoto version and same OSX.  Also I cannot go to turn music off unless I'm in Ken Burns mode!!!
    Any ideas?

    Dupont 24:
    iPhoto has no limits to the number of photos a user can have in a slideshow nor in the number of photos you can at at one time. If the slideshow is already created, just select all the photos you want in the main library or in an album and drag onto the slideshow icon in the Source pane.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto09 v 8.1.2 Problem- Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo and changes to ! with black background.  No photo, no slideshow.

    iPhoto09 v 8.1.2
    Double clicking on thumbnail results in glimpse of photo before changing to  !  with a black background. 
    No photo, no slideshow.
    (Preferences set to magnify with double click)

    That indicates that the iPhoto database has lost the connection to the high resolution photo - if you have not made any changes to the library (like cleaning uyp, deleting using thrid party software or form the all images list) then rebuilding will probably resolve it - Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto database

  • Problem with SlideShow Settings

    Hi
    I've just upgraded to iPhoto'09 and it's working great, but I have a problem with the SlideShow settings:
    When I choose a face, event or a place and press the "Play" button to start the slide show, I choose the settings I want (like unchecking repeat slide show and checking shuffle slide order), and check "use settings as default), when I close iPhoto or change the face, place or event, settings come back to their original status, not the ones I chose and made as default.
    Any Ideas?

    That's because you've set the default for that Slideshow, not all slideshows.

  • How to save slideshow settings so when I press Ctrl-Enter it does what I want?

    How to save slideshow settings so when I press Ctrl-Enter it does what I want?
    eh?
    R

    I tested what you gave me there Rob. On my Mac I have dual monitors:
    -Only blackens/show slideshow on one monitor (the main monitor, if I move LR to my secondary monitory, the slideshow is still on the first, but the second still runs normal, with LR just sitting there).
    -If I disable slide durration I have to manually advance the slides with the right arrow.
    -I don't have "Lightroom" (or with my current settings any) text on the screen.
    -Does not repeat.
    My Windows machine doesn't have dual monitors, but the others work correctly....
    That is, until I thought about this differently. Since we are looking at changing Slideshow settings, I was naturally in the Slideshow module. But then I remembered the whole point of the Impromtu Slideshow was that you can view slideshow playback from any module. Once I returned to Library and clicked Command/Ctrl+Enter, then I saw exactly what you are talking about. Both monitors are blackened, slide duration is ignored, etc.
    You know why? Because the Impromptu Slideshow uses one of the templates when outside of the Slideshow Module. Which one? Well, Default +, of course. How do you change that? Right-click (Command-click) the slideshow template you'd rather use and select "Use for Impromptu Slideshow".

  • Assertion failed during save of slideshow settings

    Hi,
    Great to be able to try out the new Lightroom version!
    Here are two things I'm noticing:
    There seem to be several issues with slideshow. When I try to change slideshow settings, "impromptu slideshow" stops working in all modes. Also, on occasion, when I try to save slideshow parameters (in the slideshow module), I get the following error message: "Unexpected error performing command: assertion failed!".
    What I did was turning almost everything off in the slideshow, no border, cast shadow, guides, no borders, identity plate, rating stars, text overlays, color wash, intro/ending screens, then tried to save that.
    The other issue is that it's significantly slower than my current Lightroom 2 version, as many people have already pointed out.
    Am using a 4-core Vista 64 machine.

    Hi Victoria,
    Thanks very much for your quick reply and for looking into this. Here is a sequence that reliably reproduces it for me, after some trials, hopefully this is helpful:
    Go to Library module, exit Lightroom 4
    Start Lightroom 4 again (starts in Library module).
    Switch to Slide show module
    Make some changes to settings in the right panel (e. g. disable "Stroke Border") and save changes (Slideshow->Save Slideshow settings). Note: When I first did that, I unchecked all the boxes, except for "Slide Duration" and "Repeat").
    Switch back to Library module.
    Exit Lightroom and restart it (is in Library module now).
    Click on "impromptu slide show" button in the toolbar. The slide show will start, but with different settings from what was saved earlier.
    Exit out of slide show with ESC. Switch to Slideshow module.
    You can see now that the settings are different from what was saved. Make some changes to settings in the right panel (e. g. ...) and try to save changes (Slideshow->Save Slideshow settings). I get an assertion failure when I do this.
    Generally, when I exit Lightroom from the Slideshow module and come back, I see the previously saved settings. However, when I exit Lightroom from the Library module and restart it, I get different slideshow settings from what I last saved.
    Also, it seems like "impromptu slideshow" stops working, once I visit the Slideshow module.
    Once I saw Lightroom abend when I exited after getting the assertion - but I can't reproduce that. Here is the event that was generated:
    Faulting application lightroom.exe, version 4.0.0.1, time stamp 0x4ef2621d, faulting module ntdll.dll, version 6.0.6002.18541, time stamp 0x4ec3e855, exception code 0xc0000374, fault offset 0x00000000000acb17, process id 0x59c, application start time 0x01ccd4c03f0b3450.

  • Export photos FROM slideshow?

    Can I create an album FROM a slideshow?
    I created Album A (tons of photos) and slideshow A. I duplicated slideshow A and deleted all the photos I didn't want to include, that became slideshow B. Now I need to export the photos from slideshow B into a format I can burn to disc - photos, NOT the slideshow itself. Can I do this without having to recreate the wheel, and have to pick out the photos I want one by one in a new album? Thanks!

    There is an easy way to keyword those photos so you can group them for exporting to the desktop.
    1 - in the slideshow double click on the first photo to bring up the edit window.
    2 - type Command+K to bring up the keyword pane
    3 - assign a unique keyword, "xxxx", created for this process to the photo.
    4 - hit the forward arrow key on the keyboard.
    5 - assign the keyword to the next photo. Repeat until all photos have been keyworded.
    6 - create a smart album: keyword is "xxxx".
    7 - export the photos from the smart album.
