IPhoto Slideshow & iTunes Playlist

I can get this to work fine but the playlist that plays music during the slide show does not follow my start and stop options. So songs start as they are originally in the library, not the way I have altered them in options. And if the end happens to have several seconds of silence that is how it plays, even though I have the option selected to stop at a certain time.

Yes, they are all MP3. I tried other songs also on another computer and I had the same results. At this point I will burn a CD for the teacher to play during the slide show (it is an end of the year presentation for parents.) Not the result I want, but I cannot find any answers for this issue.
Please don't give up finding out the answer! I appreciate any input and am willing to try all options.

  • Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

    I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

    David,
    I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
    Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
    I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
    Thanks again.

  • IPhoto Slideshow and playlist synched but does not play together

    Saw the previous posts about getting iPhoto slideshows to work where you need to sync the photo album and associated iTunes playlist.
    Have done that but I am still just getting random music. It doesn't play the music associated with the slideshow playlist. I can play the playlist separately just fine. I just doesn't work with the slideshow.
    Any thoughts on troubleshooting this?

    Yes, sure have. And I didn't see any errors (that little triangle thing with the exclamation point)
    Even changed some content so I could check that the Sync happened.

  • How to access iTunes playlist for iPhoto slideshow?

    In iPhoto 6 when I am setting up a slideshow and click the "Music" button, I am given the option of accessing my full library from iTunes, but my Playlists don't show up anywhere, just the artists' names and individual songs,so I am able to choose just one song for an entire slideshow. How can I access my playlists in the Music settings for iPhoto slideshows?

    I have the same problem, I click the arrows and the list drops but I can only select first tune from , sample, garage band, or library. This happens every time I install an update. In the past deleting iTunes playlist has cured the problem but has not worked this time.

  • How do I use only a portion of a song in my iTunes in my iPhoto slideshow?

    I already tried making the song shorter in iTunes by using the start and stop options and it does indeed make the song shorter in iTunes, but when I choose the song within iPhoto, the slideshow uses the long version of the song. What do I need to do to just use like a minute of the song in the slideshow?

    The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
    Regards.

  • ITunes playlist not playing properly in slideshow

    I have an iPhoto slideshow that I have set to play an iTunes playlist. Within iTunes I've cropped off some of the deadspace in the songs, so that when I watch the slideshow I don't have slides passing by without sound. My problem is that when I play the slideshow, it plays the proper playlist but it doesn't reflect the changes I've made to the songs within iTunes. The songs are playing in their original form. Is there any way around this? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks ahead of time.

  • Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

    For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

    Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
    You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
    Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
    Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
    This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

  • IPhoto will not recognize itunes playlists

    I have had this problem for a couple months now where iphoto slideshows and idvd, and imovie cannot find any of the itunes music playlists and the pop-up for slideshows just says "open itunes 6 or higher to populate list" but never does.
    I recently upgraded to ilife 08 hoping that that would solve the issue but its still there. After reading some posts online i tried rebuilding my itunes library xml file many times, opened the apps in the correct order, repaired permissions deleted, threw away preference plist files, and even threw away and reinstalled several of the apps. None of them seemed to solve the issue. Anyone have any ideas to get the iapps to see itunes playlists again?? Please help

    No, this is a purely diagnostic step. It tells us that both iTunes and iPhoto are okay, there's no need to re-install them and that the issue is somewhere in your main user account.
    When the apps interact, iPhoto reads the iTunes xml file, and the problem is in there somewhere, so I would also be posting over there.
    All my comments about the iTunes xml file are based on what I've learned about the iPhoto one. They may not necessarily apply.
    Where is your iTunes Library? On your start up drive? On an external? If an external, what format is it?
    Do you have any non-ascii characters in your mp3 metadata or tags (essentially, anything not a-z or 0-9)

  • ITunes No Longer Working With iPhoto Slideshow

    I'm not certain, but as I can no longer play music from my iTunes Library along with an iPhoto Slideshow, I think this is related to the new 7.7 iTunes update.
    My iPhoto by the way, is the last version - 6.0.6.
    Has anyone else noticed a new-found inability to have songs in your iTunes Library accompany an iPhoto Slideshow? And better still - how can this be fixed?
    Thanks kindly,
    john

    I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already.  New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss.  I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank.  I'm using an external drive for my music.  So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it.  I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine. 

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • When making a slideshow in iPhoto some iTunes files can no longer be found (cannot find link). How can I relink iphoto to the moved itunes files?

    Hello everyone :-)
    I am Using Iphoto 09 ver 8.1.2 & itunes ver. 10.2.2 in this situation.
    I have recently moved my iphoto library & Itunes library files to a large external hard drive.
    I have successfully set the computer to read / run both libraries from the hard drive & they are working well as a stand alone. ( I Have done this before)
    Unforntualey this time I foolishly moved some itunes album folders around from compulations / various artists into the main media file before checking into what the ramifications would be.
    After searching on here I learned that was not advised as itunes would not be able to automaticly find them since I moved them.
    In itunes clicked on some of the exclamtion marks of the songs that I moved & linked them up to the main media folder so they could be now found by itunes. I believe itunes asked to look there in that location for all missing files & I selected that option.
    It appears to have worked as when I click on them in itunes they now play.. yeah!
    But now I am finding that when I try to add certain songs for slideshows in iphoto & imovie that those moved songs cannot be found by those programs :-(
    ( I assume the same would be true for iDVD)
    So my questions are... Is there now a way to have those other programs find the moved songs?
    I do have a older backup of my itunes media & I can try & move the album folders back to the original place they where by comparing the two but it is a very large library of 40k songs... so I thought to ask the knowledge & wisdom of the community before I attempted any further fixes.
    It would take a bit of time but it could be done & I don't want to just use the older copy of my itunes as I have made many additions of albums to the library & added allot of album artwork as well. (Stuff that "itunes" & "tune up" couldn't automatically find)
    Thanks in advance for any advice on this silly mistake I made.
    Sal

    Try the following:  delete the iPhoto preference file, <b><i><font color="maroon">com.apple.iPhoto.plist</font></i></b>, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding the the Option key.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Also delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same Preferences folder.  Then launch iTunes and then iPhoto.  See if that will restore the links.

  • I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it?

    I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system, 10.10 OSX Yosemite. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it to the I Photo slideshow?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • Connected Digital AV Adapter to HDMI HD TV. Photo slideshow works fine but cannot play iTunes playlist concurrently (with sound turned off on slideshow)

    Connected Digital AV Adapter from my iPad (64 GB 4G) to my HD TV. Tried playing slideshow (with sound off) concurrently with playing iTunes playlist. Video plays fine but no audio. iTunes volume indicator not showing any volume.

    Just following-up on this posting from a week or two ago and another a few days later about the problems with catch-up TV.  We were disappointed with the lack of service, but as we can get most of the catch-up we want on the Sony Bravia TV, hadn't pursued it with BT perhaps hoping things would improve.
    Got a phone call last week from BT asking if we'd been able to set up the YouView Box OK, which we had.  Mentioned the unsatisfactory service.  She immediately put me through to the BT technical call centre in India where I spoke to guy called Rajiv or something like that.  Asked a few questions and then asked me to switch off the YouView Box (back panel switch) and do a hard-reset on the Homehub Router.  Once this had been done, and the YouView box switched back on.  The service ran fine and has done so since.  I don't know if Rajiv did anything in the network or whether this is just some problem (he called it a "glitch") in the router/YouView box.  Funny that that the speedtest and streaming to the Sony TV works OK.
    He phoned back a couple of days later to see if we'd had any further problems.  Overall good service.  It would be interesting to know from a technical point of view what the problem was and how it was solved.  It shouldn't be necessary to reset boxes in this way.

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • I cannot export a slideshow from Iphoto to iTunes

    I am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto to itunes so that I can burn it to a dvd.  The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.

    You are asking about a slideshow in iPhoto on your Mac, right? Then the iLife > iPhoto forum would have been the right one to ask your question. This forum is for iPhoto on IOS devices.
    The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.
    The "Export" button will become active, when you select a size for your exported movie. Press one of the sizes , for example "Large", if you want to view the movie on your iPad or Apple TV.
