IPhoto 09 Slideshows and AppleTV

Slideshows do not show up as they used to in AppleTV. They used to play with saved music and format. Now previously saved and new slideshows show up as a photo folder only on AppleTV. I see that you can export a slideshow as a movie and then play it that way, but why the change, it was so easy and smooth the other way?

I've been able to export the slide show as a Quicktime movie into iTunes (making sure you pick the format/quality compatible with AppleTV). From iTunes I make sure that movie is checked to be sync'ed to AppleTV).
Plays just fine that way.
Or is there another method you're trying?

Streaming iPhoto'11 Slideshow to AppleTV

Hi,
a novice and real No Clue Master here - especially as I just switched from WIN7.
Well, I enjoy iPhoto'11 and the preset choice of slideshows.
Is there a way to stream it right away to Apple TV (2nd generation)?
Thanks to all who feedback (positively I hope

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

Sync iPhoto to iPhone and AppleTV

Hi People,
I'm having issues syncing my iPhoto images to either my iPhone or Apple TV.
I enable in syncing in the Photos tab on each device with the iPhoto. However it only allows the option of 'All photos, albums and faces' which is no good as my photo collection is far larger than the amount I can transfer to either device.
I want to be able to select the albums etc to transfer, but this option is greyed out, any ideas?
- Running the latest updates to 10.6 and iLife '09.
Thanks in advance.

The solution described in this thread worked for me.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10077597&#10077597
The culprit was a music track tied to a slide show, where the track name (or artist) contained an ampersand (&). It seemed to be a 'default' music track name, vs. something I established. Removing the music track from the slide show eliminated all of my photo sync issues.

IPhone video H.264 will not play in iPhoto '11 Slideshow

Hello,
        I use iPhoto to organize videos and .jpgs; I take videos both with a Sony camera and my iPhone. I often trim videos in iPhoto and then play them as part of a Event or Album, along with .jpgs, using the SlideShow feature before moving on to iMovie or Keynote. Recently I have encountered difficulties with iPhone H.264 videos, particularly in vertical format -- they simply won't play in the iPhoto simple SlideShow and lock it up (a simple X then ends the SlideShow and iPhoto is no longer locked). The vertical iPhone videos work in iMovie if I simply move them there. I have not detected any problems with the Sony videos, which are invariably horizontal. I am not experiencing any other iPhoto issues although my library is >125GB.
     Any Suggestions?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

léonie,
     @#$^$%^ Computers!
     After I realized I could not determine the frame rate (to respond to your post), out of frustration I went back, restored the most troublesome video to original, closed iPhoto, re-opened iPhoto, re-trimed the troublesome video, and .... yep, you guessed it .... it worked fine. It had to be something in the trim process.
     I haven't taken time to check the others that were problematic, but I'm confident that was the problem.
     @#% how much of my time; how much of your time.....but, still far better than the years I spent watching a rotating hourglass.
     Thanks for your interest, your offer to help, and my best to you. (And, my apologies for failing to include the accent grave in your name previously.

IPhoto Slideshows on AppleTV

When playing back slide shows on my AppleTV that were created in iPhoto, the music and/or photos don't time out as they do when played back on the G5. Either the photos end first or the music does. It appears that the timer in "settings" over rides that of the slideshow that was created. Thoughts?

Use the export option from the bottom of the slideshow
and choose the custom export settings.

How to take pix out of a slideshow and back into a simple folder in iPhoto?

I was only experimenting with slideshows and now have 61 photos in a slideshow which I want to revert back to a simple folder of pictures. I do not want those pictures in a slideshow.
How can I get all of the 62 pictures in that slideshow to revert back to 61 photos in a regular folder in iPhoto '08?
I guess I should have duplicated the folder of 61 photos before I made it into a slideshow. Then I could have just deleted the slideshow. Yes or no?

Lorna:
You can reduce the number of Events by creating Smart Albums with criteria that you would like to have the photos grouped by. If you'd like the events to be by year and month, set the smart album's criteria to be Date is in the Range 01/month/year to 30/month/year. Then select the contents of that SA and use the Events->Create Event menu item to create an event with those photos. Then change the date to the next month and do the same. You can use any criteria you want for the SA but Events are time based and work better that way.
P.S. are you in So Cal. permanently or just visiting. Wanna trade houses?

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggsts

I am trying to burn DVDs from iPhoto slideshows. My pictures number in the hundreds and we know that iPhoto captures 99 and then "starts over". This plays fine from the Mac Book but glitches arise on the DVD when playing it on a DVD player. Any suggestions on how to overcome the 99 "Chapter limitation" that IPhoto has? Has anyone heard or tried an app called Vilisoft? I read good things but I am not sure if it will do what I want.
Jim

Then use multipel 99 picture slideshows.
You can have up to 8 or 9 slideshows per menu. If you add a sub menu reduce that by 1 and add 8 more to the sub menu. The top menu can have links to up to 8 or so submenus (depends on the theme) and each submenu can have up to 8 or so slideshows.
However, converting a very large slideshow to a QT movie as Terence suggested does not envoke the 99 slide limit in iDVD. It just becomes a single video/movie file. So you should not have a problem with exporting at the large size, 720 x 540,
and dragging the resulting file into the iDVD menu being sure to avoid any drop zones.

IPhoto 11 slideshow mode decreases the image sharpness and quality

The images that weight over 5 MB and are fine and sharp become somewhat blured when displayed in the iPhoto '11 slideshow mode. The loss of image sharpness is just too big. The pictures look like they were made with a 100$ camera or even worse. I know the images are fine and big enough. I used picasa slideshow mode just to check. I saw a much better image quality and no noticable lose of sharpness.
Anyone has an idea why the iPhoto 11 slideshow mode looses so much image sharpness?

We all like iPhoto and its ease of use, good looks and fancy features.
However Aplle must concentrate on the core .... sufficient quality of the displayed images. The colors, sharpness, tones - the essence of photography
I understand that iPhoto is not the Aperture. But if the Slide Show mode virtually washes the sharpness away from the pictures than something is not right! Picture that is not sharp is worth the trash
If picasa slide show can do it I am sure iPhoto slide show can do it even better! We are waiting for the upgrade

Slideshow Video doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

I have just upgraded to iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9
(from Snow Leopard, and iPhoto '09).
I am trying to do an iPhoto Slideshow.
I chose one of the themes, pick a music, and start "Preview".
When the slideshow gets to a video clip, the screen goes black, while the music continues to play.
In my old setup, I was able to see the video clips in the slideshow during "preview" or "play".
Any advice? Thank you!
I am trying to organize holiday photos/videos into slideshows that can be easily viewed by family.

I re-installed Mavericks, and this video/slideshow problem went away!

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

The PDF file and slideshow view corrupted using iPhoto. Macbook air only get corrupted slideshow and Mac Mini both slideshow and PDF file is corrupted.

Saving as a PDF file for some users have been a problem. If you boot into Safe Mode and run iPhoto you can create undamaged PDF files. We don't know why the problem but this is a workaround.
This problem prevents many from ordering books, calendars and cards since iPhoto creates PDF file of them for uploading and printing. Booting into Safe Mode lets them successfully order those items.

I opened iPhoto this morning and all I have is a black screen with the circle thing that says it is working going on. It says the program is in Slideshow (at the bottom) I have treid restarting, opening iPhoto andtrying to change display, etc.

I cannot get iPhoto to open. It "opens" in Slideshow which shows that it is "working" but no pictures show, I cannot get out of slideshow. I cannot see my pictures although if I tell Picasa to import photos from iPhoto it does so I assume they are there...

1. Back up your Library now. You don't use iPhoto to back it up, you can do it simply by dragging the iPhoto Library from the Pictures Folder to the External Disk
2.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

BUG: iPhoto 9 Slideshow - Text Slide Bugs and iPhoto Library Corruption

I was wondering if anyone else has run into the following issues:
I have had multiple issues with iPhoto crashing, stop responding, and database corruption where I cannot open iPhoto. These issues all began when I tried to use the new themed slideshow in iPhoto v9.1. Previously, I had only used iPhoto to create basic slideshows with iPhoto v7.x. I was hoping that I would be able to create my masterpiece in iPhoto 11 (v9.1) but I have only been frustrated by my attempts so far.
What should have been a 3 - 4 hour operation has become a 20 hour nightmare and I still don't have a slideshow to show for my efforts. This has been one of my most disappointing uses of Apple software ever.
Repeatable, reproducible bugs that I have run into include:
1. Deleting a photo that appears in the timeline before a sub-title causes havoc with subsequent sub-titles (a.k.a. Text Slides). Subsequent subtitles are randomly copied to pictures following the one it was assigned to. Further, there is no subtitle icon in the timeline and the photos have to be manually modified to eliminate the subtitle. Work around is click the "Text Slide" button
2. Zooming and/or image placement is not preserved and not visible when previewed, exported, or iPhoto is closed and then reopened.
3. The iPhoto Library becomes corrupt and permissions problems prevent me from working with my photos. This happens while working on slideshow. I have had to rebuild my library and repair permissions no less than five times since I started working on my slideshow.

iPhoto's slideshow feature is fine but no tool for a "masterpiece".
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Iphoto slideshows and powerpoint

I made a powerpoint presentation using multiple iphoto slideshows and some qtvr movies. the presentation works great out of powerpoint but when I save it as a movie file the iphoto slideshows are blank. Is there a specific way to save the iphoto slideshow before putting it into a powerpoint? I will also need it to be compatible with windows.
Also they won't play on windows based powerpoint.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Export the slideshows from iPhoto as QuickTime movies.
Does Windows Powerpoint support Quicktime?

Slideshow Music doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

After ugrading to Mavericks 10.9 and then to iPhoto 9.5, music from playlists in my iTunes 11.1.2 Library doesn't play in iPhoto slideshows. Music shows up in the iPhoto Slideshow Music menu OK, but won't play there or in slideshows themselves. Both worked fine in OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.
Oddly enough, the built-in Sample Music and Theme Music from the iPhoto Slideshow menu DO work!
Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes. Am holding off upgrading my other computers, since I do a lot with slideshows, and this is a big problem for me.

After yesterday's OSX update to 10.9 and the subsequent iPhoto 9.5 update to 9.5 I also have the same problem:
Music for old existing slide shows from iTunes can't be played back.
When changing the setting for the slide show length to be set by the playback time of the music, iPhoto crashes.
When trying to add iTunes music to a slide show the preview function does not work.
iTunes songs can be added to a slide show. When playing it back the songs will however not play.
To rule out an issue with my iPhoto picture library I did the following - sadly still yielding the same erroneous behavior:
Created new iPhoto library.
Imported 10 picutes.
Created a new slide show with said pictures.
Tried to add iTunes music: preview does not work and added song don't play when slide show is played back.
