IPad2 slideshow in Picture Frame times out

I want my iPad to act as a conitnuous Picture Frame when I'm not using it. However it times out and goes to the black screen while playing the slideshow. Is the only way to keep the slideshow playing continuosly by setting Auto-Lock to Never? (Settings/General/Auto-Lock/Never)
My preference is not to set Auto-Lock to Never....but if that is the only way to continuosly run the Picture Frame slideshow then that's what I'll do.

KP....Thanks for the reply. I was able to solve the time-out issue via the prior posts. What wasn't solved though is whether or not the slideshow can be configured to continuously run rather than stopping on the last picture. I have 378 photos and once the Picture Frame app has displayed all 378 photos it stops on the last photo (it essentially freezes on the last photo).
For example....I have a Pandidgital photo album in another room that continously cycles through all of the photos that are stored on it, never stopping the cycle. I would like to configure Picture Frame to continuosly cycle through all of the pictures and not stop (freeze) on the last photo.
Any ideas? Thank you. Stu

Page time outs

I am able to make a page time out when a submit is done after a session variable definition has timed out.
Now I am being asked to make all pages (they are in frames) time out after a certain time.
Is there an automatic or standard way of doing this?

I don't know enough about the technical details of Firefox to comment.
I just found this issue to be very odd. There were a few threads that discussed dns issues and the possibility of a person's isp having switched servers, causing some dns to fail and causing the timeouts. I released and renewed my real isp ip address and that did not matter and since IE was working, I really didn't expect it to. What I have seen from experience is that when you're trying to access some web site and dns isn't working, you see the site name in the lower left and it doesn't
resolve to an ip; the name just sits there until you get an error. That is exactly what was happening to me. I noted that familytreedna.com just sat there in the lower left until the timeout occured. I then put in the whole address (www.familytreedna.com without the http://) and it worked fine. Then the prepend started working again if I only put familytreedna.com as I always had. Your problem may not be the same, but it could be related, as you say in a sort of preparation phase. I wonder if you were to type in one of your problem addresses that normally comes from a book mark and just go to it manually. Does that work? I wondered if like my issue, it might sort of refresh it in some way. In any case, I wonder if during the waiting period...do you see the web site name in the lower left - unresolved?

Slideshow issues with variable time for each picture

Hi all,
I've migrated from AS1 to AS3, and boy, a lot has changed...
Anyhow, to learn and understand AS3, I'm modifying a slideshow I found through thetechlabs. I want it to play SWF as well as JPG. These files are passed through an XML file. I added an element called <delaytime> to the XML file that replaces the standard time a photo is shown in the slideshow.
I modified the onSlideFadeIn() function as follows:
function onSlideFadeIn():void {
     slideTimer.removeEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide);
     slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
     slideTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, nextSlide);
     if(bolPlaying && !slideTimer.running)
     slideTimer.start();
However, when I run it, I get this error message:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Sprite] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler.
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/onSlideFadeIn()
at Function/http://adobe.com/AS3/2006/builtin::apply()
at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweenByIndex()
at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/::updateTweens()
at caurina.transitions::Tweener$/onEnterFrame()
It stops at the first picture of my slideshow. When I push the 'next' button it displays the next pic, but I get the same error message again.
When I comment out this line:
slideTimer = new Timer(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
the slideshow runs OK, but without the delaytime specified in the XML file.
I'm lost here, what am I missing?
Any help to get me back on track is highly appreciated!
Thanks a bunch in advance,
Dirk

Thanks, but no luck so far...
With the debugging publish setting on, I get the following error message:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/slideshow_fla::frame1()[slideshow_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:12 3]
Line 123 says:
trace(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time);
However, when I comment out the trace() line it gives another error message:
## [Tweener] Error: [object Sprite] raised an error while executing the 'onComplete'handler.
TypeError: Error #1010: A term is undefined and has no properties.
at slideshow_fla::MainTimeline/onSlideFadeIn()[slideshow_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:118]
Where line 118 is:
slideTimer = new Timer(Number(xmlSlideshow..file[intCurrentSlide].@time));
Now, according to my Flash manual I bought, I need to 'instanciate' things. Did I forget this?
Just can't get my head around this OOP stuff...
Thanks a bunch for helping me!

How to time stretch a picture frame (not video) that I have panned and zoomed in Premiere Elements 11?

Previously used Premiere elements 11 and could zoom in on a picture frame, but also Time stretch it, so the zoom would be slow. Cannot figure out how to do this in Premiere elements 11. When I have applied the zoom, but go to right click on the picture frame, it does not allow me to change the time. It stays on 100. It will only allow me to change actual video clips. Does anyone know how to really slow down the zoom on a picture frame, or a way to use the Time stretch like I could do in Elements 7? Thanks!

I do confirm your observation on the Time Stretch Speed %/Duration available fields for a still in Premiere Elements 7 vs 11 Presets Horizontal 640 x 480 Zoom In.
If you want to go with Presets rather than manual keyframing of Scale property in Motion Panel expanded, then...
1. Given your 5 second still on the Timeline.
2. Drag the fx Effect Horizontal Image Zoom/640 x 480 Zoom In into the 5 second still on Video Track.
When you do that two Scale keyframes are automatically placed at the beginning and end of the 5 second clip.
3. Change the duration of the clip, with one of the following
a. click and drag to the right the right edge of the clip to increase its duration
or
b. right click the clip, select Time Stretch, and set the duration to the increased value....if you had been in 7 the Speed% = 50,
then the duration you would find is 10 seconds (00;00;10;00). Here no Speed% visible opportunity, just set the duration = 00;00;10;00.
c. go to Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded, and move the 2nd Scale Keyframe to the the right. In this
example at the 10 second mark, the new duration of the clip.
"Presets" has its limitation - pan or zoom instead of pan and zoom, and other. In what needs to be done here, it probably would have been quicker
just to do the Scale keyframing yourself in Motion Panel expanded with the Toggle Animation technique Scale (for Zoom) and Position (for Pan).
There is more to all this, but for now let me know if any of the above could get your through to your goal.
Thanks

Just bought Photoshop Elements 13...I'm trying to make a slideshow but can't figure out how to alter duration time that the slide is on the screen. They presently move from one to another way too quickly...also need a different pan and zoom option. Where are all the options I had in PS10? Also...Can I burn this to a DVD?

The changes have brought improvements but also drawbacks compared with the old slideshow editor.
The templates are now fairly fixed but I find the “Classic Dark” gives reasonable results with some panning and you can click the audio button and browse you PC for any track. Unfortunately there are only three speed choices linked to the music track. The improvement for most people is that you can now export to your hard drive at 720p or 1080p and upload to sites like YouTube and Vimeo.

Are you running iOS 7?
Apple has removed it in iOS7

Hi, i bought a ipad2 3mos. ago and every time i full charge it to 100%, i only get around 4 to 6hrs. out of it! our friends from Apple said 9 to 10hrs. is there any way this could be remedy? hope you guys understand getting short handed by 3 to 4hrs.

It depends on how you are using your iPad. If you are streaming videos or music, or playing interactive games which require internet access a lot, you may not get a full 9 hours from your battery. In addition, have you closed unused apps? To do so, double tap your home button to bring up the Task Bar (most recently used apps). Hold your finger on any of the apps on the Task Bar until they all start to jiggle and you'll see a sign on the upper left corner of each app. Tough the to fully close them.
Finally, location services, push for mail and it's frequency can have a dramatic effect on battery usage. Turning them off, as well as not using your screen at 100% will help reduce battery usage.

My new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available?

my new filters tree flames and picture frame are greyed out and not available. what do I need to do?

It's likely that your graphics card/GPU does not support the new feature. If you are using an older video card or an integrated graphics card that is not new like the Intel Iris or Iris pro than that is likely the reason.

Auto Video playback after Slideshow Times Out

I am trying to figure out how to create a Self-running Kiosk program that when it times out goes to the first slide and plays a looping video. However, when I run it, it goes to the first slide and holds. It does not begin to play the video. I've created a build of Start Movie that begins after transition, but that just won't work.
Any ideas?

It's most definitely a bug. I created a slide with animated text only and that would play. It doesn't seem to work. And I know it worked in the past because I did the exact same thing with the previous version of Keynote for a show we did in Seattle.
Sigh. Let's see if this will ever get fixed.

Need picture Frame feature back for iPad running iOS 7

I am a wedding photographer. One of the main purposes of my iPad is to provide m clients same day iPad slideshows. I had been running iOS 5 on my ipad2 but upgraded to ios7. Previously I would use the picture frame feature to showcase images from the day. This feature allowed a slideshow to be left unattended and guests could get into the iPad unless the pass code was entered. Now the picture frame icon is gone in ios7. I am left with the slideshow feature in photos. But if someone touches the screen with that one, the show pauses and doesn't restart on its own. So I need the old picture frame functionality back.

That did not work, I went into the clock app, it has the weather in its map, and it's on englosh measurements. The notifaction center is still saying metric units, not English units.
Any other ideas??? please help

Picture Frame gets interrupted by "finished loading" message

I can't really use the picture frame function. Every time when I start it, especially when the battery is full, I get the message popup "finished loading" after a few minutes and the slideshow stops, iPad goes to sleep. If I start the picture frame again, same thing after a few minutes.
Any solution for this?

I have little over 2500 pictures on the iPad.
I tried without a dock, used another USB-cable, even tried it without a power cable. So it shouldn't be power related.
Before I get to see the "finished loading" status, the screen goes blank and shortly the apple logo is shown.
I tried it with a single album and had no problems. I guess one "faulty" picture causes the app to crash.
I will try trough all my albums and narrow it down. Unfortunately I have quite some albums...

Kodak digital picture frame doesn't use iTunes music

I've just bought a Kodak Easyshare multimedia picture frame and it requires MP3 compatible music tracks for slideshows. How do I get there from Panther iPhoto??

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
An iTunes question, perhaps?
iPhoto will not export a slideshow but instead makes a Quicktime movie of it.
Finally, there's no such thing as "Panther iPhoto". Various versions of iPhoto will run on different OSes. To find out the version of iPhoto you have: iPhoto Menu -> About iPhoto.

Can the Picture Frame change rate slow down?

Twenty seconds is *way* too fast but appears to be the slowest it goes. Ideally something like twenty *minutes* is what I'm after.

Yes, I saw that slideshow feature in Photos so was disappointed to find that the Picture Frame feature is simply the very same thing! While I would agree with Apple that 20 sec is probably ok for a slideshow, where the user is concentrating on the screen and actively *watching* it, a picture frame is entirely different, it's just glanced at occassionally. A picture frame that flashes up a different shot every 20 secs is very distracting.
I suppose there is the solution of using lots of duplicates of each shot in an album to extend the time each is on screen, but even a 10 minute duration would need 30 copies of every image!
Thanks again, I'm back to the App store now [even that is not straightforward - trying to find a photo app that is not all about adding tacky effects shouldn't be so hard. ]
