IPhoto -  modifying slide show

Is there any way I can temporarily disable the on-screen iPhoto tool panel when viewing a slide show? This is useful for editing, but I find it annoying when viewing. My version is iPhoto 4.0.3 and I am running OSX 10.3.9.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Look in your iPhoto Library/Originals folder for a folder that might have them in it. It might be titled Roll XX if you didn't name it upon import. If it's in there check in the Data folder to see if the same folder, but with thumbnails, is in there. If so try rebuilding the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library.

  • 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!

  • Iphoto 09 slide show

    Does anyone know how to set the settings in a slide show to allow two or more photos to show in one slide at once instead of just one photo at a time... there is not setting for this

  • IPhoto/ATV Slide Show Sync

    What do I need to do to have ATV coordinate music and pics as they are on the original iPhoto slideshow?
    I created a slideshow with music in iPhoto 08. I synced to my ATV but when it is played, the music does not "fit slideshow to music" the way it does on iPhoto playback. In fact, none of the settings besides the choice of music and pics seems to carry over. I have removed and re-synced the show but pics continue to change much faster, then are repeated until music selection ends.

    Although well intended, I fear you've been misinformed.
    Please explain this.
    What you must realise is that you are no longer syncing a photo to atv,
    you're syncing a movie (slideshow) and as such that has to sync from iTunes.
    One can always export a slide show as a movie, that is correct, but it isn't the only option and wasn't what the OP was asking about. One can indeed sync slideshows from iphoto (not itunes) without having to export as a movie.

  • Iphoto 6 slide show

    Yesterday I downloaded 325 photos to iphoto. I looked at them in a slide show. Today I wanted to edit them and they did not show up in my iphoto main library, in the last two rolls album or in the last month's album. I cannot get to them or edit them or keyword them. Where are they? How can I restore them to the main iphoto library?

  • IMovie or iPhoto for slide shows?

    I use my digital camera to take photos of our trips, and I save them as DVD slide shows, complete with narration and music, so that my wife and I can enjoy them. However, since I upgraded to iLife 9 I have been having a problem. When I import the slide show into iMovie and then import the edited audio, iMovie "remembers" the first edition of the audio, which means that subsequent edited audio shows the wrong time. I know the audio track (always a MP3 in my case) is right - I have checked it several times. In case the good folks on the iMovie forum can't tell me how to fix that problem in iMovie, my question is this - would I be better off using slideshow in iPhoto, then exporting the whole slideshow in a movie format into iMovie, then cleaning up the whole thing and adding chapters, titles, fancy transitions, etc.? This matching audio to the slide length is taking me 2-3 times longer now than it did in iMovie 7 (iLife 8).

    You can give this basic remedy a try for the problem with iMovie. Quit iMovie and delete your iMovie preferences. To do this, go to your username> library> preferences> com.apple.imovie.plist. Delete this file. Then reopen iMovie; it will create a new preference file with all of the default settings.
    If you have iMovie HD6, you could use that to get the results you want. I am not familiar with subsequent versions.
    Does the slideshow play the way you want in iPhoto? You could create your slideshow with edited music in iPhoto and then export as a QuickTime movie. This movie can then be imported into iDVD for burning.
    I hope this helps.

  • How to get the best iPhoto/Aperture slide shows on Apple TV

    Hi. I'd like to do very simple slideshows on Apple TV 2nd generation for friends and family, but haven't been able to get it to work very well. My needs, I think, are simple:
    No gimimick transitions, e.g. no Ken Burns. I don't mind an ultra-brief fade in/out, but that's about it. I found Classic, and that seems to work. I'm only mentioning it as it might have a bearing on the next two.
    I'd like complete control over advancing slides using the Apple Remote, or the Remote app on the iPad. No auto-advancing. If we're all enjoying, talking about a memory, the last thing I want is that memory suddenly yanked away to the next slide. When I try to pause, it pauses the music instead of the slides.
    I'd like the photos to have 720p resolution, which is what the Apple TV 2nd generation is capable of. All the originals are higher resolution (typically 3000 vertical, varying widths depending no how I've cropped), but sometimes the Apple TV decides to make them much grainier than one would expect from 720p. Other times they look fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    No there is no way to Mirror full screen from an iOS device to the Apple TV. iOS devices are not 16:9 like your HDTV so the mirrored image appears as the size your iOS device would be if it were the size of your TV. Hope that makes sense.

  • How can I show 2 pictures in one frame either in an IPhoto '11 slide show or IMovie '11

    I'm trying to put two pictures side by side in one frame of either a slideshow or movie (for my brother's wedding, a picture of him and his fiance at the same time in their lives growing up)-how can I do this?  I have tried PIP in IMovie, but I'm not having much luck.

    Bizarro:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. JMEH has suggested the best way to get what you want. Create a blank 8.5 x 11 canvas at the dpi size that your camera produces. Mine Canon gives me 180 dpi. Then, using PS as iPhoto's primary editor, crop the file to the size you want and drag it into the open blank canvas and position it where you want. Just make sure in PS that the dpi is set to 180 (or whatever you choose to use). Once dragged into the blank canvas the changes to the file, i.e. crop, does not have to be saved and you can close that file without making any permanent changes. Do that for each of the photos you want on the blank canvas, arrange and print. When done you can close the canvas without saving for use the next time.
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Made slide show from iPhotos then......help

    it worked well. So saved it. Then wanted to give to friend as photos of holiday.
    1. What is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
    2. I tried transfering to USB - but don't have stick big enough? 
    3. Then tried making into Imovie - can you move a slide show into iMovie? If so how?
    4. Then finally turned into quicktime movie so .mov    but that won't play on tv either, so what do I do?
    5. I then thought if I saved as home movies on Itunes it might work....but she can't access it as neither of us use cloud.
    6. Now have triples of various slide shows in iPhotos under slide shows, Quicktime Movies, and Itunes - does this mean I am using more space on my computer? Which ones do I delete? Tis scary guys......
    If anyone has answers to any of the above I would really appreciate your help. Thanking you. My MacBook Pro doesn't have dvd drive on it.
    Thanks,
    Belinda

    What is best way to do this so she can play on tv?
    There is no simple way to answer this because there are so many TVS with so many different options and specs out there these days.
    As for sharing it to her: simplest is upload it to YouTube or Vimeo.

  • How do I insert music to my slide show using Iphoto application?

    How do I insert multiple music song in Iphoto for slide show? look like the application will let you insert only 1 song and then they repeat themself till slide show over, I like to insert 3 or more songs and sync them to photo, please help, thank you vey much

    Drag the multiple songs in a new playlist in iTunes.
    Select the playlist in iPhoto (not a song in the list) and you'll have more than one tune playing with your slide show.

  • The way iPhoto makes choices for slide shows?

    So far I have been having very good luck with iPhoto and slide shows using the "scrapbook" layout. It is doing about 99% of what I want. Here are my current 2 issues:
    1. As I see it, iPhoto is determining, based on the photo, what kind of presentation to use for each picture (whether it is vertical, horizontal, the 5 pane with the oval in the center, etc.). My question is whether there is a way to control that for a particular slide? Can I force a picture to be horizontal? Can I force which picture is where in the 5 pane slide? Sometimes that oval overlaps an important piece of the underlying photo.
    2. My second issue is that I have a woman sitting in a chair with a baby laying on her lap. iPhoto insists on making a slide of the woman, but crops out the baby on her lap. How can I force more of the picture being shown?
    Any insight is greatly appreciated...
    Paul

    As I see it, iPhoto is determining, based on the photo, what kind of presentation to use for each picture (whether it is vertical, horizontal, the 5 pane with the oval in the center, etc.).
    It’s not the size, it’s the Aspect Ratio - whether it’s landscape or Portrait layout.
    My question is whether there is a way to control that for a particular slide? Can I force a picture to be horizontal?
    Only by cropping the pic into landscape
    Can I force which picture is where in the 5 pane slide?
    Make sure it’s the fifth pic in the sequence
    My second issue is that I have a woman sitting in a chair with a baby laying on her lap. iPhoto insists on making a slide of the woman, but crops out the baby on her lap. How can I force more of the picture being shown?
    Crop it to focus on the preferred subject.

  • HOW TO FIX ?  SLIDE SHOW STOPPED WORKING

    I am running IPhoto Ver 9.2.3.  ("Iphoto-11") on an Intel Imac Core i5 currently empowered by Mac OS Version 10.6.8.
    Suddenly  ,my  Iphoto will no longer run slideshows.  
    None of the commands and buttons available in various IPhoto "views" will work tostart a slideshow and they all produce the same result:  a brief dimming or flashing of the screen and then - nothing:  absolutely no slide show .
    I have tried turning off the screensaver slide show hoit corner, in case it was interfering but this has made no difference.
    Iphoto's Slide Show has simply decided to suddenly no longer work .
    What is the fix for this particular bug, weakness or susceptibility in the software ?  Anyone know ?
    I can think of nothing I might have done to cause this failure. 

    Try this:  launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and check to see if the same problem persists. If it does not then your current library is damaged.  If that's the case try the following:  make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    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 slide shows and rotation

    Slide shows I have created in iPhoto 6.0.6 and synced to Apple TV have occasional images rotated 90 degrees from normal. They show fine within iPhoto previews, but give a different result on Apple TV. Any idea how I can resolve this?

    I've managed to solve this problem without resorting to Apple's suggested manual revert on each photo. Here's what I've done.
    Disclaimer: 1) This involves some light work in the Terminal. If you're not comfortable with that, you'd probably be better off following Apple's suggestion. 2) It's always wise to have a backup of your photo library, just in case you make a mistake and want an easy way to revert to where you started. 3) I'm using iPhoto 6, not iPhoto 7 (which is the later version). The instructions shouldn't change much, but in iPhoto 7 you'll have to deal with the library being wrapped as a package. And there may be other minor differences I'm not aware of.
    1) Verify that you're dealing with the same problem I am. The major symptoms are that the image(s) appears correctly in iPhoto, but is rotated incorrectly in Apple TV. Also, the image should have been modified (probably rotated...) under iPhoto 4 or earlier, which means it was probably taken in 2004 or earlier, and if you click on the "Photos" menu while it's selected, "Revert to Original" will not be greyed out. Finally, if you open the photo in Preview (Right click on the photo -> Show File, then double-click to open), it should appear incorrectly rotated, as in Apple TV. If any of these things are not true, you should probably stop now, because we're not dealing with the same problem.
    2) Identify all the messed-up files, and put them in a new iPhoto album. This is the most tedious step. I just set my Apple TV to 2-second delay, played the Library slideshow, and followed along on my computer, dragging each messed-up photo into the new album I had created.
    3) Download ExifTool, a command-line utility that will let you modify jpeg metadata. <http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool/> I didn't bother with the "Mac OS X Package" dowload -- just used the generic download link at the top of the page.
    4) Open Terminal, and cd to the ExifTool directory.
    5) Just to make sure things are working as expected, display the Orientation tag for one of your files. Type "./exiftool -Orientation " -- include the space at the end, and don't hit Return. Drag one of the messed-up photos into the Terminal window. The name of the file will appear on the command line. Now hit Return. You should get this output:
    Orientation : Horizontal (normal)
    6) Type "./exiftool -Orientation=Horizontal ". Again, include the extra space and don't hit Return. Drag the photos you want to fix into the Terminal window (might be wise to try just a few first, to make sure it works...) Before hitting Return, make sure each listed file appears in "iPhoto Library/Modified", not "iPhoto Library/Originals" -- you don't want to be messing with any originals. Hit Return. You should see this for each file:
    Warning: Duplicate Orientation tag in IFD0 - /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/Modified/2004/Roll 31/IMG_0861.JPG
    7) The photos should now display correctly. Check to make sure.
    8) If you'd like to, clean up the backups that exiftool has created by executing this command (entered exactly, but -- obviously -- changing the path to point to your photo library):
    find "/Users/Shared/iPhoto Library" -name "*JPG_original" -exec rm \{\} \;
    (Careful with this command -- it will permanently delete files. If you want to make sure you're deleting the correct files without actually doing so, leave off the "-exec" and subsequent stuff. Doing so will just list the filenames, not delete them.)

  • Captions not displaying in iphoto slide show in my iPad 4

    Hi
    I am trying to create slide show in iphoto and  want to add caption/text/title in that...I am able to add captions to the photo in edit mode however it doesnt show in the slide show...also I am confused about iphoto versions...my iPad show version 2.0.1 however the discussions I saw on this forum point towards iphoto 9,10,11...
    Please help me with my problem as I want to create a nice slide show with photos, text and music

    Slideshows on the iPad (or on any handheld device) do not support titles, only the slideshows in iPhoto on the Mac do that.
    In the settings you can select a theme, select music, and set the spped, and that is all there is,  see:  http://help.apple.com/iphoto/ipad/2.0/#blnkd19951ed
