IDVD 6 Slideshow - Titles and comments only show in transition?

I have undertaken archiving my photos onto DVDs (putting the actual photos in the DVD-ROM contents and having a set-top playable slideshow as well)
On my test case, I have included four versions of the slideshow.
Looping
Manual
Looping with titles/comments
Manual with titles/comments
The disc works fine, except for the titles/comments.
On the manual progression with titles/comments, they simply don't appear.
On the looping version, they only appear during the transition between images.
Anyone else experiencing this problem, or know of a solution?

Sorry, meant to post this in iDVD6

IDVD problem with "Show title and comments"

I am making a DVD for a neighbor. He has given me CDs with scanned old slides. He has over 1000 photos.
I've got the DVD made in iDVD and everything is fine except in one of the slideshows.
In iPhoto I have 22 albums of photos. When I'm in iDVD I go to "media" and I drag an album into the theme. After it is there I drag another album into that album I just drug. So what I'm doing is combining 2 albums into one slideshow thus having 11 slideshows in my theme. I then go into each slideshow while in iDVD and add music and go to "settings" and unclick "Show title and comments".
After I have completed this for all slideshows I watch each slideshow before burning and everything looks fine. After the DVD burns (which takes 5 hours) I again watch the DVD on my television. In the first slideshow, and only the first slideshow, the first half is fine and then when it comes to the pictures that were in the second iPhoto album that I drug in the titles of each photo are coming up on the screen. All of the other 10 slideshows that I combined are just fine.
I pitched the first DVD and tried to fix this by going into iPhoto and making a separate album that had all the pictures of thos first two initial albums. I then went into iDVD, deleted that problem slideshow and then added the slideshow that I had combined all the photos into that one album. I again make adjustment adding music and going into "settings" and unclick "Show title and comments". I watch the slideshow while in iDVD and everything looks fine.
I burn another DVD and when I watch it on my television again that first slideshow has the first half of the pictures just fine and then the second half are showing the titles of each photo on the screen.
Everything else in the DVD looks fine.
The only other thing that might be of importance is when the DVD is ejected from the burner the screen says:
"Current Operation"
"Image Incomplete"
I click Cancel and then it says:
"Cleaning Up"
"Image Incomplete"
I again click Cancel.
At this point iDVD freezes and I have to go up under the Apple symbol and do a Force Quit.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I know I should try to make 2 DVDs out of all these photos instead of 1 but my neighbor was really hoping he could have all of them on 1.
Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Just drag them from the iPhoto Trash bin onto the Library icon just above it.

Print & Preview of iBook does not show titles and comments.

iphoto used is 6.0.6 (322) I Don't know if this is a 10.4.11 or 10.4.4 problem.
problem: iBook prints contain pictures but not title or comments using Epson C60 or HP 1530 printers. Titles and comments are not visible in "preview" but picture is ok. Mac used is an intel Core Duo with system 10.4.4.
However, prints are ok, i.e., have title, comment, picture using the same HP 1530 or an Epson Stylus Photo 1250 on a Pwr PC G4 with system 10.4.11.
The Intel is the preferred unit.
Thanks, CB

IPhoto "titles" and "comments"

Hey,
I am making a slideshow in iDVD with a lot of pictures that im importing from iPhoto. My problem is that the names of the pictures (when I show "titles and comments") are too large and cover important parts of the image. I also noticed that the "comments" was smaller than the "titles". So is there a way for Automater to replace all the "comment" sections with what is in the "title" section for all my pictures in iPhoto? I have never used Automater so any help would be great.

Create a workflow with a "Run AppleScript" action and replace the (* Your script goes here *) with the following AppleScript. The easiest way to do that is to click on the link, which will open AppleScript Script Editor, and then copy and paste it into the "Run AppleScript" action.
For this action to work properly you must make sure that before you run the Automator action only the album of interest is selected and not a photo in that album.
click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">tell application "iPhoto"
set theAlbum to selection
set thePhotos to every photo of first item of theAlbum
repeat with aPhoto in thePhotos
set theOldTitle to title of aPhoto
set title of aPhoto to comment of aPhoto
set comment of aPhoto to theOldTitle
end repeat
end tell

Keywords, Titles, and Comments don't travel - Sharing Pics with my PC

What gives with iPhoto. Love it. Problem though. All the work I've put into adding key words, titles, and comments are only good in iPhoto.
Why is this? Wouldn't those things be considered metadata and be stored in the file and then travel with that file?
So... here's the kicker. If iPhoto doesn't do this - I probably need to switch programs. My house and family and work are all PC environments. We all swap photos pretty regularly.
I look like I suck if my photos are all titled DSC-09874. This especially ***** if I know I've spent hours upon hours applying tagging pics with keywords and comments - only to find out I'm the only person to ever see them.
I need some direction here from some iphoto gurus. What should I do?

There is a program that will do it but it's a bit expensive for just that feature, iView MediaPro. However, you can use it is its 21 day demo mode do write the keywords and comments of the photos you have today back to the original files (not the modified but the original). Tutorial #1 describes how to do that.
I suggest you post that as a feature request at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more requests for that the better.
Do you Twango?
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Titles and Comments

Can Titles and Comments go with the photo from iPhoto when the photo is moved to another Library, put on a CD or DVD, emailed or used in Pages?

Johin:
To add to Smtr's answer, all metadata added to a photo in iPhoto stays in iPhoto (sort of like Las Vegas). Using iPLM you can transfer that data between libraries. But for any use outside of iPhoto the metadata won't be available.
There's one way to write comments and keywords to the original files on a one time (or 30 day) basis. That's by using Cocktail (not called Expressions Media) to catalog and then write that data back to the files. Check out Tutorial #1 on how to do it.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Itunes doesn't list all of my recent podcasts. My show is Black Tribbles and it only shows episodes through March 2013, however we do at least two shows a week and they aren't listed. The feed works because the show update to my computer. Help please.

Your feed is at http://blacktribbles.podomatic.com/rss2.xml
When subscribed to in iTunes the recent episodes show, but the Store hasn't updated for some time.
There appears to be an issue with the feed. In the episode 'WRESTLING MARCH MADNESS: Final Bracket & Championship' of 31st March you will find in the 'description' tag the following line:
4. KURT ANGLE
At the end of this line is an invisible character which seems to be wrecking the feed - although it works OK when suscribing in iTunes it won't load in a browser (and I also found the feed very slow to load, which won't help matters with the Store)
This sort of thing usually happens when you paste text in from a word processing application and manage to include one of the invisible control characters. I don't know how easy it will be do do it in Podomatic but you should delete that entire line and retype it to remove this charter.
You should keep an eye on the time it takes the feed to be accessed - if there is a long enough delay (and it was quite some seconds when I tried) the Store may well timeout and fail to read it. At the moment it's showing a cached version from the last time it was able to read it.

I created a publisher file, saved it as a pdf. The problem is I created it landscape and it only shows portrait cutting the sides off my document.

Sounds as if you used Microsoft software to make a PDF. If so, and you didn't use Adobe Acrobat ($$), then you need to get help with Publisher -- Adobe Reader only shows what you make.

Printing iPhoto 5 titles and comments?

I am using iphoto 5.0.4. I want to print a list of the titles and comments for a selected group of pictures. Can I do this?
Thanks

iphoto used is 6.0.6 (322)
This is the forum for iPhoto 7 (or iPhoto '08). Overall, it is best to post in the appropriate forum, as the various versions do have their differences. That said, there are a few things that can be addressed here.
I Don't know if this is a 10.4.11 or 10.4.4 problem.
I would take a shot and say that this is an iPhoto problem that exists on the computer that is running 10.4.4. To deal with the iPhoto issue, give this basic remedy a try. Quit iPhoto and delete your iPhoto preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.iphoto.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iPhoto; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
If that doesn't help, do a verify and repair of permissions using Disk Utility.
Also, it is a good idea to update your system software in this computer to 10.4.11.

Copying photos to cd and still having my title and comments

I am a new i photo user. I am very anal about tagging each photo as to who and where. I used a microsoft product that let me place it directly into the photo. I realize this can not be done in i photo. Which is a shame. But my questions are these. I made albums from my library and changed all of the titles and comments to who and where.
1. If I write a cd using the i photo format will my albums be as I made them tagged with all of my info and in that order ?
2. If I write a cd using the format for viewing on a pc will all my info be there too.
( I did write using this format already and there is no rhyme or reason to there order. )
3. Is there a program that I can put words on the photo that does not cost a fortune and is easy to use.
I guess I worry about not being able to view them someday and want them backed up both ways.
Thanks for your help.

1. If I write a cd using the i photo format will my albums be as I made them tagged with all of my info and in that order ?
Using 'Share -> Burn, yes you will get the Albums and tags etc when viewed in iPhoto. That is, insert the disk to a Mac and iPhoto will open and the disk will appear in the Source Pne.
2. If I write a cd using the format for viewing on a pc will all my info be there too.
No. If you use the File -> Export command you can use your titles as filenames, or one of the other naming schemes. Then complete the export to a folder on the desktop and burn that with the Finder. Result: A disk with a folder of images that any machine can understand.
( I did write using this format already and there is no rhyme or reason to there order. )
Alphanumeric is the usual way things are burned in the Finder.
3. Is there a program that I can put words on the photo that does not cost a fortune and is easy to use.
Some possibilities from free on up:
Seashore
Acorn
Graphic Coverter
Photoshop Elements
Some comments:
If you upgrade to iPhoto 7 (part of iLife 08) you have the option to write your titles and keywords to the files on Export. This, along with non-destructive editing, makes it worth the price of the upgrade, for my money.
No matter what, even if you put a CD burned using the Share -> Burn into a PC you will be able to find the files: there're in iPhoto Library Folder / Originals

iMesssage has stopped using my cell phone number and is only showing email addresses -- in other words, when I text, it is showing up as coming from an email address, even when i use my phone. The laptop and phone are still synchronized and messages are showing on both devices.
I've seen this before and was able to fix in Settings, but that is not working now.
Please help. Thanks.

Did you replace your iPhone with some other kind of phone? If your phone number is no longer connected to an active iPhone, you can't use it to message from your Mac.
