IPhoto music
When tying to use iPhoto in Front Row the screen goes black on my MacBook and a few seconds later a message appears stating that it cannot find the music I've selected as background. Can I turn this option off in Front Row. I've gone into iPhoto itself and played a slide show and the music works fine and I can also have it on or off, however, Front Row doesn't seem to give me this option. But why can't it find my music selection.

2. Library Menu
3.Move dimple down
4. Click Playlist

since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

Yes, I am signed in to iTunes match on the macbook pro, iPhone , & iPad (all updated & correct music libraries) where I bought all the tunes but still no updated tunes on the iPhoto music library after 3 days of being on iTunes match.
Thank you,

Archiving emails in Entourage, photos in iPhotos, music in iTunes
Getting message "start up disk almost full". Need to make space by taking files off the PowerBook G4.
Have a 500GB external hard drive. What is the best and safest way of archiving emails, photos and music to make room?
ThanksFor iPhoto you can move your iPhoto library to the external drive and run with it there - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library as a single entity to the EHD - launch iPhoto while depressing the option (alt) key and point iPhoto to the new library location - once you test it there you can quit iPhoto and trash the iPhoto library on the internal drive (I suggest launching iPhoto and testing one last time before you empty the trash)
Note that you should always have 10GB or more of free space on your boot drive

Hello,
I've searched for the answer to this problem in the threads but can't find it.
I have an odd problem with an iPhoto slideshow. I can set it all up correctly, but when I transfer it to iMovies to then burn a CD in Toast Titanium, only the first tune in the playlist plays. The music then stops. How do I get all the music to play continuously?
Bizzarrely, this works OK on the slideshow before transferHi nodger13,
Only one song exporting with
Slideshows
Right now, this seems to be a know
problem/bug with iPhoto 5. 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. -
I created a slideshow in iPhoto that included still photos and a few short video clips. I removed the sound on these videos so the music track could be heard constantly. However, when the slideshow plays, the music fades each time the videos start. Any help would be appreciated.
You're welcome.
Looks like another reason to pay the price for a more professional slideshow program. I'm looking at Fotomagico.
Or upgrade to Aperture - just a thought. In Aperture you can layer several soundtracks and effects in a slideshow and control the volume of your video clips. You can open your iPhoto libraries in Aperture, since both apps are sharing the same library. -
When I go to add music to my iphoto slideshow the songs from my itunes library are gone?
Maybe some help here:
To add music to a slideshow:
Hide
If you don’t see your iTunes library in the Source pop-up menu:
Try the following:
Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Open iTunes first, and then reopen iPhoto.
If you recently installed iLife software, it’s a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD.These applications use one another’s media libraries, and opening the applications in that sequence ensures that you see the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and Movies folder no matter which application you’re using.
If you still don’t see your iTunes library, try this:
Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes.
In the Finder, locate your iTunes folder.It is usually in [Home]/Music/iTunes or [Home]/Documents/iTunes. If it’s not there, search for it.
Open the iTunes folder and drag the iTunes Music Library.xml file to your desktop.
Open iTunes and create a new playlist (choose File > New Playlist).
Quit iTunes and open iPhoto.You should now see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow. -
I recently tried starting a slideshow with music in iPhoto and when I went to add music, I selected my song and when I hit play, the slideshow began but the music never played. I have not been able to figure it out. I am using iOS 6 on an iPad 2. Can someone please help?
Thanks.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 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,
PaulWell 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!

IPhoto's music- legal question
Hi Guys,
Just wondering If I can use iPhoto's music in professional Slideshows for Clients- obviously when using iPhoto to put together the slideshows : )?
The reason I ask is there isn't alot of royalty free music our 'there' that sounds decent.
Could you please advise me if I can use the default iPhoto music in slide shows for clients?
BTW, I convert Slides to Digital Images- then clients have the option to get them onto a slide show.
Cheers,
AshleySorry, I am not used to these Apple Discussions etc.
I couldnt find a button to say "This solved my question".. so i found one on my reply... thinking it would be relative to you.
Now, i dont know how to remove it..
Sorry bout that,
Looks like I solved my own problem... lol
And... I can create slideshows for commercial(clients) use right?- just without music yeah?
Cheers again! -

How does the "From iPhoto" music setting in the photo settings work? If you add an album, which has no music set for it, how does the iPod know which song to play for the photos? I can't get that setting to work, and I can't find a way to put the iPhoto slideshows on the iPod, only the albums. Can anyone help me make the music from the slideshows on iPhoto work with the albums on my iPod?
I figured it out myself

Music from iPhoto slideshow not making it to iDVD
Hi - newbie at iDVD - got a nice slideshow on iPhoto - music, Ken Burns effect,....nice!
Exported to iDVD, one song burns to disc, others don't. All from same source. Am I doing something wrong??Welcome to the forums.
This version of iDVD can choke on some music files. I assume you're using an iTunes album to collect all your songs for iPhoto. A workaround for your problem is to export your playlist from iTunes to CD and then import back into iTunes, but use the Advanced menu to Join CD Tracks so the songs come back as a single file.

How do I create a slideshow with music and voiceover?
I am trying to create a slideshow with photos, music (iTunes playlist), and voiceover created in Garageband. I cannot figure out how to have both the voiceover and the music play during the slideshow. I also tried iDVD but ran into the same problem.
I also wanted certain songs to play during certain sets of pictures and I can't figure out how, other than to create separate slideshows for each song, how to set it up to show the photos for the duration of certain songs... if that is possible. However, my main issue is the first one - how or which program to use to combine photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), and voiceover (GarageBand).However, my main issue is the first one - how or which program to use to combine photos (iPhoto), music (iTunes), and voiceover (GarageBand).

Use separate tracks for music and voiceover/narration so you can adjust volumes independently.

Use separate tracks for each song or use two tracks and alternate songs on these tracks so as to allow maximum alignment/overlap possibilities.

Slide photo and/or song to align beginnings and then drag the end photo "handle" left or right to change its duration to match the duration of your song. -
IPhoto/Hard Drive/New Macbook/Transfer?
Hi Folks
I have a problem I'm not sure how to go about tackling.
I have just bought a new Macbook. On my old Macbook, I have had my iPhoto Library on an external hard drive. I want to be able to do the same thing on my new Macbook, using the same hard drive where all the photo's are stored, without disturbing the photo's. The hard drive used is also partitioned into three sections, just in case that is of any relevance. (iPhoto, music, and miscellaneous files)
I would greatly appreciate any advice as to how to go about this. Please explain in laymans terms, as I'm a bit stupid.
Many thanks
Gary.Simple. You not clear as to what you want
If you want to use the existing set up on your new computer unmount and disconnect the EHD from to old computer and connect it to the new computer, depress the option key, launch iPhoto and use the select library command to point to the EHD
If you want to duplicate the set up connect both hard drives to your new computer, partition the new EHD and drag the thing you want to it, unmount and disconnect the old EHD and move it back to the old computer and on the new computer option launch iPhoto pointing to the EHD

Using Photo Browser For Photo's Not I iPhoto??
Is Photo Browser in Mail connected to only Apple programs (iPhoto) or can I use it to browse a folder of my choosing?
Thankshunter,
I'm not sure what you are driving at in your last post. If you are thinking of a "browser" (like the Photo Browser) that looks at everything in the file system (like a Finder window or dialogue, and opposed to just scanning for images), then we already have that. This is, essentially, what we get by clicking the "Attach" button.
However, that's not the only way to attach documents/files to an email. We can simply drag anything we want to attach into the Mail composition window, directly from the Finder. Mail has long been completely "drag and drop" in this regard.
What we have now, new to Mail, is support for what has become "traditional" iLife media browsing. Consider that the iLife components all interoperate with each other's libraries, all being able to show just what the other one does. Mail is now "joining the club," and can see what is stored in the iLife libraries just as they appear in the pertinent iLife applications. In effect, it can now "think" like iPhoto.
What I am looking to see is the addition of support for the other iLife components in Mail. I have no doubt that this would appear as tabs to the current Photo Browser, just like in iMovie, allowing one to look at "Photos" (from iPhoto), "Music" (from iTunes), and "Movies" (from iMovie).
Best of all, the same functionality is being built into the Finder. Just a couple days before Leopard was released, I listened to a complaint by a friend about the fact that one cannot open an image in iPhoto in an application like Photoshop, not directly from the "Open..." dialogue in Photoshop. My response to him was that he could open iPhoto, set his preferences there to open double-clicked images in Photoshop, then manage things that way.
Only the next day, I found out that Leopard was incorporating the "Media Browser" functionality into the Finder. This is exactly what my friend was looking for! He'll have to upgrade to Leopard, of course
