IPhoto 6 - slideshow music problem

Hello - Anyone else had problems selecting itunes music library? When selecting my Library or Playlist, contents not available. iPhoto only plays first song of the playlist.
Just started with version 6?
Thanks

Hi
I also had the same problem after upgrading from iPhoto 5.
I think the trick is, when selecting the music, drag the dot (pip) down so that it shows a larger box at the top, then select your playlist in this box. The tunes that are in the playlist should show in the lower box. Then click ok.

Iphoto 11 slideshow music problem

Just updated to iPhoto 11. Now when I play slide shows it will not play music from my iTunes. Tried AIFF, MP3 & M2A. The previous iphoto worked fine with my music in itunes. The slideshow does work with the sample tracks. Any ideas?????
Thanks,
Mike

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

Hello:
I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

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.

IPhoto 11 - slideshow music issue on manual picture change

Hi community,
do you experience the same behaviour?
When navigating through the pictures in an iPhoto 11 slideshow manually e.g. by using forward and backward arrow keys, then the music always stutters or let's say "jumps" a little bit. Very annoying!
Does anybody have the same issue? Does anybody know a solution for this?
Thanks in advance,
Flo

Yes. iPhoto is jumping to the music synced to that slide when you use the advanced arrow key. That's normal. The only solution is to let the slideshow play itself out.

IPhoto 11 slideshow music: Can I start music after 1st slide?

Can I start the music at the second slide in IPHOTO 11 slideshow?

No. However, you can add a track of dead air (silence) of a few seconds and use that track with the other track in a custom playlist. You may have to experiment with the length depending on the length of the sideshow if you use Scale to Music. If you set a definite slide display time create the dead air track to that length.
You can use a 3rd party audio editor or Garageband to create the dead air track.

IPhoto 5 slideshow music still available after upgrade to iPhoto6?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto6 and see that the default slideshow music has changed. I'd still like to use the iPhoto5 default music - does anyone know if this should still be available?

iLife 6 installs a new bunch of sounds, tunes, Garageband loops, etc. as well as the older ones. I believe you will be very impressed with the assortment that Apple provides (/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects Folder). I know I was!

IPhoto slideshow music problem.....

When the slideshow is played on the iPhoto Application in the computer, it plays all the music listed in the album chosen. HOWEVER, when exported to a CD disk it will only play the first song and then no more music for the rest of the slide show. This has been frustrating.....

Hi John,
this has been a know glitch that shows up for some .
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

IPhoto Book Slideshow Music Settings Not Working

When I try to view a Photo book as a slideshow, a default guitar music track plays. When I uncheck "Play music" the music still plays. When I try to change the music, the default guitar track still plays. It seems the music settings are not holding or being recognized. Curiously, I do not have these issues when viewing an standard photo "album" or other group of images in iPhoto, only when viewing my Photo books. Is this a bug?

Iphoto and slideshow music?

Hey guys just wondering if there is a way to have a slideshow with more than 1 song playing in the background? I have a ton of pictures for a slideshow and want to use 3 or four songs as background music, any way to do this?

Hi adamdub;
May I welcome you to the Apple Discussion Forums.
If you take the songs in iTunes that you wish to use in the slideshow and put them into a playlist such as slideshow. Then when creating the slideshow in iPhoto you select the playlist named slideshow, the songs in that playlist will be used.

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

CLOSE THREAD. THE PROBLEM FIXED ITSELF

Slideshow Music problem!!!! It doesnt work like it says it on the box.

I have put together some slideshows and i find every time there is a problem with the fit to music option when i select a track from my itunes library. If i let it run fine it works but if i press fit music to slide show then the track goes into a total slow down and even if i reselect another track it still repeats the same problem. ive tried with 20 slides to 40 slides. So at this point I am certain that this part of the program does not work properly. i see this problem all over the internet so adobe fix it please. Its a simple option so it doesnt take rocket science to press 2 buttons.. but these buttons dont work. Selling something that doesnt work sends me rushing back to aperture. Anybody else got this problem..u bet. fire the guy who is wasting my time having to write this.

So, are you going to share the solution because I have run out of vriables to play with.
There are a couple of ways to get around this limitation. The "right" way is a pain. The "easy" way is potentially problematic.
Bottom line: The transitions and slide duration boxes only allow precision down to a tenth of a second. If your song length and slide count don't divide up to an integer of tenths of a second, you can't fix this in the UI. If they do, it's possible the tool won't choose these properly due to roundoff error.
My suggestion is to select songs/slide counts so they do divide up into an integer number of tenths of a second (that's the problematic part) and then manually pick a slide+fade time to match that. If you can't do that, you might need to add a tenth to one or the other from what the tool chooses, but then your show might finish just before the song does.
The "right" way is to manually edit the template, where unlimited precision (well, I suspect it's 32 bit floats or something) is allowed. That's a pain.
Lightroom shouldn't force either solution onto you, but the 0.1s precision is currently the limitation here (not the math education of the team, a few of whom hold advanced degrees in mathematics and related fields). Hopefully, the team will fix that problem.

IPhoto Slideshow music settings/Front Row

I recently purchase a Mac Mini to use as a media center PC. I have imported photo's into iPhoto and configured slide shows with appropriate music ... in iPhoto all these settings work fine. When I access these photo's via Front Row
however, each of the slide shows plays with Minuet in G and my iPhoto music settings are ignored. any thoughts would be most welcome on how to have my iPhoto slide show music recognized with Front Row.
Thanks,
Paul

Well I may have found my answer ... If I run slideshows in Front Row from
Photos/Events I have the Minuet in G problem ... if I create albums in iPhoto and run the Event from within an album, the music selected in this album slideshow holds in Front Row ... at any rate it works for me!
