IPhoto 6 - reverse showing slideshow

I guess this one should be simple, but I can not see where I can change the direction of my slideshows. I would like to show them in reverse order.
Any help would be greatly appriciated

Peter:
In the slideshow mode, type Command-A to select all of the photos in the photo tray at the top. Then click and drag the first slide to the right. All of the slides will become one icon. Drag it to the right of the window and release. That will reverse the order of the slides.
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.

  • Iphoto '11 cannot show slideshow for files on NFS (Faces fails, too)

    Hello, please help me see my pictures in slideshow!  I get black pictures, but I have a unique error (google has zero hits on '"NULL CGImageSource" iphoto').  See details below.  Thanks!
    I'm using iPhoto '11 (9.1.5 (615)).
    My preferences have UNCHECKED "copy items into the iPhoto Library".  I want my pictures to remain on my linux (NFS) server so that other PCs can view them in their existing directory tree organization.
    I import the files into iPhoto.  I see them all. yay!
    I also import files from my iPhone.  These most likely reside on my local Mac drive rather than on the server.  yay.
    Signs that things are strange:
      - I can use Faces to identify faces for those pictures which originated on my iPhone(now on local drive), but not those stored on the NFS location.
      - When I use the slideshow, pictures which originated on my iPhone (now on local drive) appear, but not those stored on the NFS location.  These are black screen.  If I use a Theme such as Snapshots, then I see the white borders, and blackness inside.  No, I didn't shoot *every* picture with the lens cap on.
      - (THIS IS THE KEY ERROR MESSAGE FOR APPLE SOFTWARE ENGINEERS TO INVESTIGATE!) Console is spewing errors such as:
    7/27/11 11:49:50 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path  - /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG!!!
    I find this odd, because IT'S THE WRONG PATH!  The correct path only contains one "yoda" in the tree hierarchy, i.e.
    /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG rather than
    /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    I should note that from iPhoto, if I click "File->Reveal in Finder", the Finder launches to the correct location (one "yoda" in hierarchy).  It opens on /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG and I see the file.
    The mount itself looks like:
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% mount
    /dev/disk0s2 on / (hfs, local, journaled)
    devfs on /dev (devfs, local, nobrowse)
    map -hosts on /net (autofs, nosuid, automounted, nobrowse)
    map auto_home on /home (autofs, automounted, nobrowse)
    yoda:/home on /Volumes/network/yoda (nfs, nosuid)
    And I'm not confused about the directory tree:
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda
    ls: /Volumes/network/yoda/yoda: No such file or directory
    [hansolo:pics/in/VivaVienna2010] rbrown% ls -lad /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
    drwxr-xr-x  122 rbrown  messagebus  12288 Jul 26 00:42 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown
    [hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    -rw-r--r--  1 rbrown  messagebus  789848 Nov 10  2001 /Volumes/network/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/IMG_0046.JPG
    Once I discovered this oddity, I thought maybe there was something about the way I browsed in iPhoto to find the pictures to import.  I had gone through the "yoda" share on the left-side of the file selection box.  So I deleted the pictures from iPhoto, and decided to use a symbolic link, which I had created in my home area on the Mac:
    [hansolo:~] rbrown% ls -la /Users/rbrown/yoda
    lrwxr-xr-x  1 rbrown  staff  21 Feb  2 23:07 /Users/rbrown/yoda -> /Volumes/network/yoda
    When I import photos into iPhoto using the "rbrown" item with the house icon (my Mac home directory) on the left-side of the file selection box, and then click through "yoda" and then through "rbrown" and "misc" etc. etc., to find the same files via the non-canonical path of /Users/rbrown/yoda/rbrown/misc/pics/gretchen/2001/, here's what happens:
    - I have to highlight files, not the directory.
    - If I hightlight the files, then they import okay into iPhoto, and appear on the main window
    - The slideshow still doesn't work (black images)
    - The Console error message changes(!) to:
    7/27/11 11:54:03 PM    iPhoto[1541]    NULL CGImageSource for Path  - /Masters/IMG_0022.JPG!!!
    I have no idea where "/Masters" originated.  I have no such directory anywhere, to my knowledge.
    Help! okthxbye.
              -rb

    In iPhoto 11 the Originals folder is renamed Masters.
    IPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback and report the bug.

  • IPhoto is not showing photos that i have saved on an external drive. I can see tht the photos are on the drive, but iPhoto is not showing them. Help!!

    Iphoto is not showing the photos that I know are stored on the external drive. I can see that there is 45 Gig of photos stored on the drive as they appear in finder when looked for, but I cannot see them in iPhoto.
    I have used the external drive as the default location for my iPhoto library and not had this problem before.
    I had a message earlier about generating thumbnails. I also had iMovie running this morning. This is when the problem began.
    Have tried restarting computer and all the obvious things.
    Also tried rebuilding the library.
    Please help!

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

    iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ?  I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

    For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
    This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
    Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.

  • IPhoto Crash, then all Slideshows go missing.

    I tried to "SHARE: Send to iDVD" one of my slideshows.
    The computer got stuck "preparing images".
    After an hour of waiting with no progress, I assumed the program was locked.
    I closed the program (not force-quit).
    When I restarted iPhoto, ALL of my slideshows were gone.
    No only the one I was "sharing" with iDVD.
    But a half dozen other ones as well!
    Where have they gone? Are they truly deleted?
    Is my hard-drive now littered with corrupt file bits all over the place?
    If so, how do I locate and remove them?

    Your database has been damaged.
    Where have they gone?
    They have been damaged in the db.
    Are they truly deleted?
    There is no way to recover them unless you restore from your back up, of course.
    Is my hard-drive now littered with corrupt file bits all over the place?
    No.

  • Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 in Adobe RGB color space?

    Can you show slideshow within Lightroom 4.4 (not export out from LR) in Adobe RGB color space provided that you are using a wide gamut monitor which is capable and hardware calibrated & profiled to show such color space?
    If this is possible, what is required to do so in Windows 8 and i7-4770 & HD Graphics 4600 platform or does LR take care of it automatically?
    This is very basic question, however, I could not find a clear answer/info from LR documentation, so wish that someone can advice.

    Those settings are probably stored in a plist somewhere in ~/Library/Preferences. If you can locate the appropriate file, you should be able to copy it to all the network user folders.

  • Why do my iPhoto movies not show up on iMovie

    I have imported all my videos from my iphone to iphoto.  I can not access them through imovie but I can see all the photos. Why is this?

    Yes that works - but it's quoite manual, and has a problem -
    1. when I do that - iMovie sets the date and time of the movie to the import date ( today) instead of the footage date, so I have to go through each one adjusting the date and time to the footage date.
    It would be seemless if the Event Library\ iPhoto Videos simply shows the movies that are in iPhoto!

    I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my advaced preferences drop down, it used to be there, how do I get it back again?

    Hi, Yes you are correct in iPhoto Prefernces, Advanced tab editing I used to have iPhoto and "Use external editor.". It changed to iPhoto and iPhoto Library. I have einstaleed PSE 9 and downloaded the update.  There is still no lkink to external editor in the drop down box.  Have I done something wrong inadvertently or is there a clitch?  can you reinstal iPhoto.  I am new to Macs. Every thing came preinstalled.  it is the top of the range system with 16 Gb of rRAM, 2 Tb hard drive to top graphics card etc.  I used to be on Windows PC.  Have more than 27,000 photos on the system.  Much apprecite your reply and interest in this.

  • Is there any good Linux software to show slideshows, videos and more?

    Hi.
    We are trying to replace windows and apple on all computers in our church. Now, I know we will most likely hang on to some of our macs for video editing purposes, but we have identified several computers that runs Windows that can easily use Linux.
    We have come across one nut that we have yet to solve, and I would hope that someone would have some input on how to do this.
    In the lobby, we have a windows computer hooked up to a tv. On the screen we are showing Slideshows with information on upcoming events, videos from meetings, twitter and also a list of all the Buses leaving from the nearby bus stop. The latter one is hooked to "Västtrafiks" (our local bus company) API, and update in real time.
    All this is very easily done in WPF (Windows Presentation Foundation). Since there is no support in mono for this yet, we are looking to replace the application all together. However, we can't seem to find a suitable replacement. We have all been looking for a while, and we are starting to think that we may have to write our own program in Java.
    Now, this would be a huge time sink, so I hope that some of you might have some insight about a software that could fulfill our needs.
    The basic requirements are Image slideshow, background Music, Video slideshow, twitter feed, and perhaps rss feed integration. Now, the ability to show Västtrafiks time table would be neat, but I think we can hack that ourselves if we find a suitable open source solution for the rest.
    I am going to try to get a video on what it looks like today, to get a better understanding about what it is.

    I have some questions: How is the formatting on this? I mean, is the slideshow, video(s), feeds and such all on screen at one time like an American cable newscast?
    Yes, if I understand you correct.
    A bit more information. Today we use a Dropbox folder to add media, like videos and images etc. After every loop that the software has made it stops to check if the folder has any new files. If it has, it automatically includes it in the feed, as well as deletes any media that has been removed from the folder. So everything is managed by uploading to the folder from anywhere, the box itself is headless and is only running this single output.
    Today we only show the output on one single screen. But it may be interesting to do this over several screens in the future.
    We could use openshot and manually edit the feed etc, but that takes away the ease of use. The idea is that anyone with something to say should be able to upload it without any tech skills. Right now, we are thinking about porting the functionality to Java, however I think that this would be at least 50 work hours to get it functional.

  • IPhoto's Slide Show allows for only one song !

    I love the feature of iPhoto's slide show for a user to accompany a slide show with music from one's iTunes library. However, you can only pick one song. That means that if you have a slide show longer than one songs worth of time (most slide shows will be this way), the song will just keep repeating.
    Sure would be nice if there was a way to either play mutiple songs from a user's iTunes playlist. Alternatively, I've heard that the a capability may exist (outside of iTunes) to concatenate multiple songs together to accomplish the same end.
    Any suggestions on how to do either of the above?

    Hey Baheno,,
    there's so many Roads that lead to Rome!
    Road #1
    You can consolidate 2or more songs together in iTunes and name that (2 in 1) big song, Say, "eye of the tiger 2in 1) so this way it will be easy to locate it in the iTunes library while searching through iPhoto. Else you can create a separate albums in iTunes, and you put there only songs that are combined together.
    Road #2
    This is the one I prefer. You can export your slide show to QT (Quicktime). it requires some calculation to create a slide show that ends with the end of 1 song. Then you create another QT slide show, that ends with another songs.... etc..... after you merge all the parts together and you have a very long slide show with many songs!
    Transitions:
    Keep in mind that exporting to quicktime uses only the desolve transition. Which is fine with me. I have seen so many people doing some power point presentation and slide show with photos and using a array of different transitions..... in the same slide show.....it is disturbing, and takes away from viewing pictures. In cinema, it is said: "the thecniques should remain invisible" so keep the disolve transition... it is the least obtrusive .... your viewers, will never complain that there was no "cube effects"! Only you know about the missing effects!
    Self contained file.
    When you export to QT, you now have a file that you can send people through e-mail (given that it is a reasonable size) or you can even post them on web page! like a .mac page.
    When you want to view the show, you just click on the file and play it. No need to start iPhoto. No need to have a MAC, it can be seen on a PC too with QT. You can put it on a CD or DVD, and can be viewed on a DVD player.
    But when you play your slide show directly from iPhoto, you have to be in front of your mac, you have to have iPhoto open! But you can have you mac connected to a TV in the living room (I do) and then can play the slide show from iPhoto, using a TV-VGA adaptor that will play on your living room TV for a larger crowd to see. It can also be played through the sound system!!!! infinity and beyond!!
    If you want more specific on how to export to QT and merge 2,3,4,5 files post back. I will get more into it.
    I always export to QT, because this way, in the future, you do not have to mess around again in selecting the photos needed, and selecting the songs in iPhoto. I just click the QT file, and it will always play the same!
    hope this helps!

  • Before Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.4 Iphoto libraries would show up as a project.  Can I still have this feature?

    Before Mountain Lion and Aperture 3.4 Iphoto libraries would show up as a project.  Can I still have this feature?  I want to keep my iphoto libraries on another drive but now it appears the only way I can have Aperture search all libraries for a photo is to merge the aperture library with all the iphoto libraries. In the past the photos were referenced photos in their orginal libraries but now we are creating one big aperture library.  Does this make sense?  I liked the old way were the iphoto libraries showed up in the left window as a project.  Does anyone know of a work around?

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.
