IMovie keeps ruining the timing of my slideshow, help!
Okay, this is just about the most frustrating thing I've ever encountered... I have a 4 minute song, and 88 photos in iMovie. The photos are timed and customized with the Ken Burns effect so I don't want to have to do re-do all that. I've tried the transition settings in the menu, but no matter what I do the transitions add time to the project and it becomes too long for the song. Mathmatically, it doesn't make sense, since I've calculated it out. IF the transitions were to just overlap the clips it would come out to the perfect length, but it keeps adding time to the project no matter what I do. There has to be a way to do lock in the timing of my photos, and the song, and just have it transition between clips without any time added. Please help if you know.
iMovie is just a half-baked piece of software that only meets the needs of somebody who isn't trying to do anything precise.
That would be iMovie 11 then!
I only use iMovie 6 with iDVD 7.
There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

I have been unable to download the iphone software v5.1. I keep getting the timing out message. Is there someway to set my network connections to allow the download? Can I get the update some other way?
The Huntress is correct, I have missed that you have an iPhone 3G
Usually iTunes will tell you in that case, that iOS 4.2.1 the newest version for your phone.
If you don't have an iPhone 3G, network connections timing out can be a security software problem:

Of course, after he'd tried to reset it, I found the original password. But that now doesn't work and we can't reset the password. We can't even "find" the ID. We keep getting a timed out message, no matter what we try. Since he has no working Apple ID, I'm using mine to ask this question. Possibly relevant - he is NOT a big app user. I set up the account for him when he first got his iPhone a couple of years ago and he has only a few apps installed. So the card details may have expired but, of course, he can't update them either. He recently updated to the latest IOS (6.1.3) and it was when finishing the installation that he ran into the problems with forgetting his password.
Short of creating a new ID, does anyone have any bright ideas?Call Apple Care for your country and request help resetting the password.

Lyrics not show in Nano-keep pressing the center button but nothing, help!!
Hi there,
i keep pressing the center button until the lyrics appears but still nothing there, can you please help.
thxI'm not sure if the right click will work. I instead will click on a song and select "get info", then choose the lyric tab.
-Isn't that exactly what she said she did?
Does the lyrics pane come up empty on the iPod, or does it go straight from artwork to ratings and completely skip the lyics?

Moving from PC to MAc, but want to keep all the old iTunes settings! Help!
I did this just fine, from PC to MacBook. But one problem I'm having is that my new iTunes library on the Mac is completely devoid of my old iTunes settings on my pc - my song ratings, my playlists, all the songs I've had checked and unchecked, date added, etc. Is there any way to migrate (I went from pc to mac, all the music files came over no problem) but to keep your iTunes information so you don't have to sort through all the songs all over again!!! Help!
Thanks,
MartyHi Martyputz,
This happened, because iTunes on a Windows doesn't really work like iTunes for Mac. Read this [article|http://lifehacker.com/software/itunes/geek-to-live--how-to-move-an-itu nes-library-from-a-pc-to-mac-and-back-242468.php] and follow carefully the instructions...
Hope this helps! -

I would uninstall all Symantec software, but...
If you're having frequent kernel panics with your 15" mid-2010, or intermittent screen problems, the problem is, more than likely, the faulty NVIDIA GPU found in a number of those machines.
Here's just a sample of a kernel panic log that points to the faulty NVIDIA card:

Here's the "official" Apple take on the issue - but the very real kernel panics need not be preceded by 'Intermittent black screen or loss of video'... in fact, you might not experience any video problems at all. Although video problems can certainly be a portent of things to come…
So what can you do? Print out a copy of your kernel panic and a copy of the Knowledge Base article and take them, along with your machine, to your local Apple Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider. The unfortunate thing is that many people have passed the “three years from date of purchase” now and Apple is not honoring the free logic board replacement for many users. Some dealers seem to be making some exceptions for those past the three year mark, but don’t count on it…
Good luck,

Music timing for a slideshow in imovie
I am new to imovie, and mac as far as that goes! I am trying to generate a stills slideshow in imovie and getting more frustrated by the moment. The timing of each frame should be adjustable by clicking on the little clock symbol in the bottom left of the frame. When I attempt to change it, nothing happens. I type in the change...it registers the change, but DOESN'T change for preview. AAAHHHHH!
Anyone familiar with this problem?Look at your project preferences. You can set a default timing. If there is a checkmark next to "Apply to all stills in Project", remove the checkmark. This will let you edit the time of each still individually.
If you upgrade to iMovie 09, you can set beat markers in the music and have your photos snap to the beat markers. -
Photos keep appearing the wrong way round in slideshow!
Photos which I imported from my old macbook (running 10.4) onto my new imac (10.5.8) keep appearing the wrong way round or stretched out when I play them as part of a slideshow even though in the library they appear fine. Can anyone tell me how to fix this please?
ThanksYes the plist file is important, but next time you start iPhoto it will create a brand new one.
This file records various user settings - like the background colour, for instance. If you trash it then when iPhoto re-creates it it simply returns things to the factory default settings.
Trashing the plist file is troubleshooting 101.
Also don't understand what you mean by "If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again"
By default, your iPhoto Library lives in your Pictures Folder. That's where iPhoto looks for it. If you've moved the Library - and I'm guessing you haven't - then you need to tell iphoto where you moved it to. Why? Because that's a setting recorded in the plist file.
