Iphoto 08 slideshow music not playing

After making a slideshow with iphoto I mixed some songs together using garageband, then exported the mixed songs to iTunes.
But when I choose that track in iTunes for my slideshow it doesn't play. I've tried a bunch of other songs they won't play either. I have done this before using iphoto 06 and didn't have any problems. But now with 08 I can't seem to get any music to play with my slideshow.
Which means no exporting to iDVD, no burning to a disk, no showing off to my friends.
Can anybody tell me what my problem is??

soulmanbdr529:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get non-Garageband mixed playlists to work in iPhoto's slideshows? If so then there's something GB is doing to the joined tracks that iPhoto doesn't like. For that you'd probably get more informed responses in the Garageband forums.
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 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.

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • My music not playing with slideshow

    Since updating my iPhoto to version '11  version 9.5,  the music I select to play with my slideshows does not play.  The canned theme music does play however.

    I had problems with some 3rd party slideshow apps when I had the library on an external HD. However, I'm not sure I moved it there like I told you to do.
    If you have Quicktime Pro there is a fairly easy way to add your music to the slideshow. It goes like this:
    1 - export the slideshow from iPhoto without the music.
    2 - if you have more than one music track to use join them together into a new file with an audio editor like Garageband, Amadeus Pro or Audacity.
    3 - open your music track with QT Pro 7.
    4 - Open the slideshow movie with QT Pro.
    4 - in the slideshow window type Command+A (select all) and then Command+C (copy).
    5 - go to the slideshow window in QT Player and select Edit->Add to Selection and Scale.
    6 - save the merged item as a self contained movie.
    This will add the slideshow to the music and scale the slideshows length to match the music. Don't do it the other way around as the music timing will be altered changing the speed and pitch of the music.
    With this method and if you have more than one track you can overlap and fade between tracks eliminating the dead air that often results between tracks. It also will assure that the music will end with the last slide. NOTE: I add a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshows so the last slide fades to black and the music ends on the black slide.

  • Music not playing in slideshows

    I need help with getting the music to play in my slideshow, its not playing at all. My music is in .mp3 or .m4a format and neither will play. I cant get them to work at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    Bazmikter,
    You also may want to post your questions in more detail (include the steps you have taken) in the iMovie forum. This forum is a general iMac forum, while someone here may know the answer you increase your chances by posting in the forum for the app you are having troubles with.

  • IPhoto album slideshow will not play in the manually sorted order.

    iPhoto Album slideshow will not play in the manually sorted order.

    Use a regular slideshow created by "File > New Slideshow".  These will play manually sorted. The instant slideshows cannot be played in a manual sort order.

  • Iphoto 11 slideshow & music not working [OSx 10.8.2]

    Hi,
    For some reason my slideshow will not play music after I press "PLAY."
    Is there a reason for this?  Volume is up and everything looks to be ready to play the slideshow; I think is has to do with the new OS.  I've had no problem in the past.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Peter

  • Music Not Played Recently

    In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
    This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
    "Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
    There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
    In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
    Question is:
    Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
    If not, why not?
    If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

    anyone?

  • Iphoto '11 slideshow does not play music from iTunes

    I cannot get iPhoto Slideshow to play music from iTunes.  I read one suggestion to go to iTunes > File > Library > Organize Library > and select REORGANIZE library.  When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE. 
    Any suggestions on what I can do?

    When I do this it does not allow me to REORGANIZE, I can only CONSOLIDATE.
    Then your iTunes library is already organized according to the latest format. See this document on the organisation of the iTunes Library :
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3847
    Sometimes the database files inside your iTunes Library can get corrupted.
    Try to rebuild the file "iTunes Music Library.xml" as described  here: 
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA25468
    I'm not sure if "Consolidate" can help in this situation - it will move all songs into your iTunes Library, so that they can be easier found, but not recreate the datbase files.

  • Iphoto slideshow won't play music

    when I create a slideshow in iphoto, the music I selected will not play. The slideshow functions normally otherwise. Is this a problem with Mavericks?

    What music are you selecting? From iTunes?
    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • Slideshow will not play "Purchased" iTunes Music

    I recently updated to iTunes 7.6.2, and ever since then - the slideshows in Aperture (v2.1) and iPhoto (v6.0.6) will not play "purchased" music from my itunes library. The slideshows will play non-purchased music files from my library without any problems! I'm not sure why and would appreciate any help. I'm running OS X v10.4.11. I don't have any problems playing the purchased music files in iTunes or syncing with my ipod. Thanks!

    I had the same problem when. I reinstalled X11 from the OSX disks and the problem is now resolved. It might be worth a try.

  • IPhoto slideshow music does not transfer correctly to Apple TV

    When I set up a slideshow on my iMac and add music it plays correctly on the computer.
    If I select the same slideshow on the Apple TV the photos display correctly but the music played is not the same as the track selected on the computer.
    The only way I can play music with the slideshow on the ATV is to select the track required on the ATV.
    I was under the impression that any slideshow set up on the computer would automatically transfer to the ATV and would remain intact for subsequent selection and viewing, is this not right?
    Any advice wouyld be appreciated.
    Thanks.

    I never bothered delving into the why's and wherefore's of why it did this, but have assumed it is something to do with the transitions and how the differing frame rates on the mac and tv are reflected in the time scale of photo slide shows. I suppose what I'm saying is that's it possibly isn't the easiest thing to fix.

  • MacBook - problems with iPhoto slideshow music

    Just got my brand new MacBook today and imported everything from old PowerBook. However now that I am trying to play a slideshow in iPhoto, the music to it will not play. Yet it will play in iTunes app itself, but not within the slideshow in iPhoto? Have downloaded all upgrades but still not working. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

    Apologies! It is now working just fine. I had forgotten to run Disk Utility Repair Permissions. It's been a long day setting up the new MacBook and my brain is addled!

  • Slideshow Music not remembered??

    Hey gang-
    I'm running iPhoto '08 7.1.2 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.4.11. For some reason, iPhoto will not remember Slideshow music assignments. When I click the Play button for an album, I get this message "The music you selected can't be found or can't be opened".
    The good news is that if I click the Music pane in Slideshow settings, the music can indeed be found and played every time. But it seems strange to have to assign the music each time I play the slideshow. Any thoughts on how to get iPhoto to remember music assignments? Thanks!
    Dave

    Dave:
    You are clicking on the Save button in the Setting pane, right? If so and it's still not remembering the selection delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
