Iphoto slideshow albums weird

Hello,
I have a macbook air (OS X version 10.9) and my slideshow option with my albums in iphoto '11 (version 9.5) is acting weird. It doesn;t start with the first photo of an album but somewhere in between and when I browse forward or backward it seem to display the photo's of a particular album in random order. When I select the first photo of an album it will only show this photo in slideshow mode. The photo's are organised manually.
I have tried everything like re-installing photo'11, start up with the alt-cmd combination, removed chache en preference files etc, etc. I have no idea what to do anymore. How can I view my slides from the start?

As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

  • IPhoto slideshow using mini-dvi to video adapter

    When using the mini-dvi to video adapter to connect to my widescreen tv (via composite), to show iPhoto slideshows, the transistions between slides dont apear and there are no ken burns effects. The slideshow runs fine on my MacBook display (ie when not conected to the tv), and the is no other distortion or flickering (as reported in other threads), this seems odd to me or is it just a limitation of analogue output.
    2Ghz MacBook, White   Mac OS X (10.4.7)  

    It means that the issue resides in your existing Library.
    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, 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.

  • Apple TV no longer plays iPhoto slideshows (individually)

    I have been using AppleTV for a couple of years, primarily to play iPhoto slideshows to music on our TV's. With a recent update (either to Apple TV, iTines or iPhoto, not sure, but I think it changed after an Apple TV update) we can no longer watch our individual iPhoto slideshows (By individual slide shows, I mean we used to be able to choose what slide show or album we wanted to play with music on the Apple TV. i.e.: vacation slideshow, birthday slideshow, Christmas slideshow, etc...) Now when you select what photos you want to share in iTunes, I check those albums & slideshows I want available but some do not appear on Apple TV  and those that do appear are automatically combined (for example it will combine Vacation and Christams slideshows into one massive slide show and their is no way to select one or the other.) Until a month or two ago this was not the case. I know I can create slideshows and save them to iMovie/iTunes or burn to disc but I do not want to do that, I like keeping them in iPhoto so they can constantly be added to and altered, thats the fun of it!
    Any ideas or known fixes would be appriciated. I love how Apple is always changing things for the better, but every so often they update software and end up taking away features that I use! It can be frustrating!
    Thanks in adavnce for your help!

    I cannot figure out how to move or convert an existing 'slideshow' to an 'album'. (in the end, all I really need to do is move the pix from a given slideshow to an album so I can view it as a slide show on Apple TV) I don't mind if the slideshows are shuffled on the TV as long as I can keep each slide show seperate. I basically use my iPhoto slideshows as a drop off point so we can watch them on Aplle TV. I never really do much with them in iPhoto except add new photos to existing shows now and then, I had the slideshows set to shuffle on Apple TV anyway. If I could figure out how to convert each slide show to its own album that would probably work. (re-creating each slide show is not a good option since some of my family slideshows contain hundreds or in some cases over a thousand photos). I've tried dragging the slide show to "albums" catagory but that doesnt work.
    Thank you for the quick response!

  • Just purchased a new iMac and transferred all info from my old iMac. Now when using iPhoto slideshow is displays the pictures in reverse order.

    Just purchased a new iMac and after transferring all info from my old iMac.  Now when using iPhoto slideshow it  displays the pictures in reverse order.

    There's a bug in iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks that affects slideshows played directly from an album.  The slideshow will not play correctly if the photos have been sorted manually.  Any other type of sort, date, rating, keyword or title, will play correctly.
    If you need that manual sort of pictures for your slideshow create the slideshow in iPhoto's slideshow mode.

  • Playing video in iPhoto slideshow

    hi,
    I'm regularly recording video with my digital camera that is transfered to iPhoto along with all pictures. The problem is that these videos don't play when I present a slideshow of an event in my computer or in AppleTV.
    I used Visual Hub to convert the .avi to .mp4 files optimized for iTunes but still these converted videos won't show up in an iPhoto slideshow. Is this a non-feature of the program or I'm doing something wrong? Can I sync videos from an iPhoto album and see them in my AppleTV?
    Thank you!

    You cannot play video as part of an iPhoto slideshow. PhotoPresenter is an app that allows this.

  • How do I arrange photos in iPhoto slideshow?

    On my iPad - the album that I created in Photos appears in the iPhoto app as expected. Only now the sequence is out of order in the iPhoto slideshow. It does not match what is in the Photo album. How do I move the slides in the iPhoto app to the correct order?  Thanks!

  • Problem Playing iPhoto slideshow on AirPlay

    I am attempting to play my iPhoto slideshow (created on my MacAir) on my Sony HD 50 inch screen using AirPlay and my Apple TV.  The resolution of the phtos is very low on the HD screen (I can see pixels) yet if I just show the photo directly (not in the slideshow) the resolution is fine.  These are photos taken with a Nikon D200 and are high resolution.  It seems to be a specifc problem for the slideshow function
    I would apprecaite any advice - all software on the computer and the Apple TV are updated.

    OK, but when I tried to do that, I could show an album, but not a premade slideshow with animation and titles etc - the only choices were albums/events/photos.  Did I miss something in the "Home Sharing" setup.
    Thanks

  • IPhoto new albums problem

    Hi,
    I've noticed a weird problem with my iPhoto lately. I can create new albums just fine in iPhoto itself, but when I go to my Finder and hit Pictures>iPhoto Library>Albums, the new albums don't show up as new folders. Is there something wrong here, or am I just using an outdated version of iPhoto?

    As long as the albums are there when iPhoto is open, don't worry about it. You shouldn't be poking around in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder anyway — all you can do in there is corrupt iPhoto's database and make the app lose track of the rest of your stuff. There is no reason to go there at all — everything you need to do with your photos can and should be done from within iPhoto.

  • Most iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences

    I just realised that most of my iPhoto '09 albums don't show up in the screen saver preferences... How can I make them visible again?

    Bruce Etnyre has a more permanent fix over on the Using 10.5 forum:
    You might try this. Go to the:
    Macintosh HD/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder
    (where “yourusername” is the short name of your computer, like baumgarten - the folder looks like a house/home)
    and move these files to the Trash:
    com.apple.screensaver.XXXXX.plist
    com.apple.screensaver.slideshow.XXXXX.plist
    and this one, if you have it:
    com.apple.iphotomosaic.XXXXX.plist
    The XXXXX before the .plist is a hexadecimal string.

  • IPhoto slideshow in iDVD project

    I have some questions on problems creating a iDVD project of an iPhoto slideshow:
    1. Is it possible (how ?) to create buttons for scene selections, as in iMovie ?
    My project contains one continuous slideshow (942 still pictures) which I want to divide in
    chapters relating to the varuous trips I made during one travel.
    If not in iDVD: has this breaking up of a single iPhoto slideshow be done in iMovie or iPhoto itself,
    or by way of creating a 'Magic iDVD' ?
    2. Can audio be imported with different sound clips ?
    As for now my audio clip (3 min) repeats itself endlessly till the end of the project (48 min), and I
    want to use various songs out of my iTunes library.
    3. For a slideshow with its speed matched to the lenght of an audio clip, 10 seconds seems to be
    the longest duration for one single picture. Can this be lengthened ?.
    In my actual project, 10 seconds for each picture in combination with a cross dissolve seems
    to work too fast in my slideshow.
    I expected this transition to be added to their duration; instead it seems to take seconds away
    from the linked stills.
    If all these problems can't be adressed in iDVD 6: is iDVD 8 the better option ?

    To get the versatility that you want, and because this is a complex project for iPhoto, I suggest that you bring iMovie into the work flow.
    I would create a separate iPhoto slideshow for each segment of your trip (eg. Italy, France, etc.)
    Then export each slideshow to your desktop as a High Quality Quicktime movie. There will be no loss of quality. Then create an iMovie project, and drag each Quicktime movie into the project. You can add your audio in iMovie, as well as chapter markers. Then save and close, and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star on it) into an iDVD project. Just drag it to the edge of the iDVD display menu so it doesn't fall into a drop zone. Then save your iDVD project as a Disk Image (an option from the File menu). This will take awhile because all the encoding will be done as if you were burning a disk. To play the disk image, double click on its icon, and then open the DVD Player app on your Mac. Make sure it plays O.K. Then close it, and open the Utilities/Disk Utility app on your Mac. If it's not already in there, drag your disk image icon into the left side display panel in the Disk Utility Window. Then insert a DVD-R disk into your drive and hit Burn. The burning process will be fairly quick because all the encoding already was done when you created the disk image.
    As far as I am aware, you cannot extend the length of a photo in an iPhoto slideshow beyond what the settings will allow you to do. If you want to go beyond that, I would suggest creating your slideshow in iMovie where you can display the photos for as long a duration as you want. In my opinion, 10 seconds duration for a photo is way too long, particularly when you have 942 still pictures. Whew! I would keep it to 5 seconds at most. You can always use the remote pause button of your DVD player if you want to display to your viewers a particular photo for a longer time.
    In an iPhoto slide show you can import different audio with different sound clips. Go to iTunes and make up an album of the songs that you want to play in your slide show. Then, when you select your music from the media pane in your iPhoto slide show, select the album that you created, and the slide show will play those songs in succession as your slide show runs.
    The cross dissolve transition will shorten the display duration of the photo on each side of it, and thus shorten the overall display time of the slideshow. The overlap transition will not shorten the overall time display.
    I hope this helps. Good luck with your project/.

  • How can i turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

    I am wondering how I can turn an iphoto slideshow into a book?

    No - you can make a book from the same photos but not form the slide show - smiply elect the same photos (probably in the album you made the slide show from) and make a new book from them

  • How do I email an iPhoto Slideshow to my family and friends?

    I would like to email the iPhoto Slideshow I created to my friends and family.  When I select the slideshow it only sends the individual photo album.

    from the iPhoto Help menu:

  • Iphoto slideshow (9.5.1)is playing backwards.  last slide to first.

    My iphoto slideshow is playing backwards - last slide first.  How can I reverse that?

    Are you using an instant slideshow from an album? Instant slideshows cannot be manually sorted. Create a regular slideshow project with "File > New Slideshow". Then you have a better control about the arrangement of photos in the slideshow.
