IPhoto Slideshow - No iTunes library

I can not add music to my iPhoto slideshow. When attempting, music appears in Sample window but nothing in iTunes window. I tried everything listed in the help section without success.

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

    How can I transfer my iPhoto photos and iTunes library to my new iMac?

    If the Migration Assistant won't do it, move them over as you would any other folder; they're located in the Pictures and Music folders of your home folder by default. The iPhoto library needs to be transferred via a drive, partition, or disk image formatted as Mac OS Extended or through an AFP network share.

  • Exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low

    I am using Macbook air Early 2014. OS X 10.10.1 
    My question is I exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low. I used 480P MP4 format. How I can improve this?
    Lo

    Hello!
    My first question is pretty obvious:
    - is the quality great when previewing your slideshow in iPhoto?
    If so, try the following:
    delete the bad slideshow from iTunes
    go back to iPhoto and select a better quality export method, like 720p or 1080p
    Did that help?

  • IPhoto slideshow with iTunes playlist

    I have created a playlist in iTunes, adding 3 songs from the library. I have also created a slideshow in iPhoto and in settings I have selected the playlist I created for this event. However, when I play the slideshow it plays a sample song unless I select a specific song in the created playlist. And, it only plays one of the 3 songs I added.
    I tried another computer, same results. We are a school but are not on the network for this work. iTunes is fully updated as is iPhoto.

    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.

  • IPhoto Slideshow using iTunes purchased music publish to .Mac

    I created a slideshow which used a song which I purchased through the music store. I exported this and uploaded it to .mac. If I view this web page on a another computer beside my mac it wants it to be authorized.
    I thought when I purchase music I could use it in iPhoto and iMovie. Why is it forcing me to authorize all computers.
    How am I suppose to share this slideshow/movie with my friends and family. I am all for DRM when it comes to protecting music but now I can not use the song except on my mac or computers I authorize (Which is limited to 5). I think this is a bit unfair.

    Hi Squig,
    It's a shame isn't it. You need to do a little sneaky work around by first burning the tune to cd (while you are at it, burn a bunch of others that you might want to use in a slideshow. Import the burned cd back into iTunes. Click on date added column so you can see the DRM-less tunes you just imported. Rename those tunes so you know those are the ones without the DRM and then use those tunes in your slideshows.
    by the way, you can use them in iMovie if you are then sending those iMovies to burn within iDVD. You will run into the problem if you export the iMovie to quicktime.

  • Can't access itunes library when using iphoto slideshow

    When using iphoto slideshow and click on music, iphoto shows my itunes library but not the list of songs. When I click on library it only plays the first song on my list. I can't change to other songs.
    I have the latest software for itunes, iphoto and quick time. Can anyone help me.
    Thanks, Kathy

    Doesn't play songs purchased on iTunes either,
    probably because of the copyright infringement
    issues.
    It does. You'll need the latest version of iTunes
    and the latest version of Quicktime for this
    to work.
    Regards

    Gotcha! It's the QT holding me up them. I have QT Pro and I don't want to update because then I have to PAY again for the Pro part. I learned that the hard way. What a rip off on their part for the users of their Pro version.

  • Cannot access iTunes library in iPhoto nor in iMovie

    I am using a macpro retina (although I had the same problem with older mac pro) with iphoto 11 and itunes 11. When trying to make a slideshow in the iphoto app my itunes library or playlists do not appear in music pane.  I asked this question before and go some instructions which led me to drag iTunes Music Library.xml to desk top make an adjustment but it did not work.  I still have iTunes Library.xml page on my desktop.  How do I fix problem and what should I do with iTunes Music Library.xml on desktop?  I am using iTunes 11.1.3 (8)OS Mountain Lion 10.8.5, and iPhoto 11.9.4.3

    I got this problem solved with a combination of suggestions from discussions here and other fixes conducted at an Apple store one to one

  • Burn DVD from IPhoto slideshow

    I read an earlier discussion on this topic but it made the process of burning a DVD from an IPhoto slideshow (with ITunes music track) almost impossible. I did try bringing the show into IDVD but the "formatting" of the "shows" you can choose from aren't appealing. Is there an easy way to do this?

    I found it easier to create and burn DVD slide shows from within iDVD, but before creating the slide show, I read the instructions provided by the iDVD "Help" menu. I don't remember the exact steps, but I remember dragging a folder with the pictures into the iDVD window first. I duplicated the folder and saved to the Desktop first, since I had to use Elements to enhance the photos before creating the slide show. By duplicating or creating a copy of the folder with the photos, I did not change iPhoto's folder structure.
    You will find the instructions on iDVD's help, under "Getting Started," page 29. Preview will launch to show you all you need to know. However, since I could not copy and paste the text on Preview, I printed just page (29) with the instructions.

  • 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...:)

  • 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.

    Hi 845greening123,
    If you do not see your iTunes library when attempting to add music to your iPhoto slideshow, follow the steps outlined in the last section of this article -

  • 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.

  • Updated iPhoto could no longer use the music from iTunes library for slideshow

    Anybody checked if you can still use your music from iTunes library for slideshows?
    After updating both iPhoto and iTunes to the latest version in Mavericks, all music links in the iPhoto's slideshows became invalid. Tried even to re-establish the music links, but it seems like the iPhoto would not play any music from the iTunes library. Only the sample music from iPhoto is usable. The iTunes works fine by the way.
    Thanks a lot!

    I think I found a workaround that seemed to correct the problem. In iTunes, go to the File menu and choose Library. Then select Organize Library. Next choose Reorganize files in the folder "iTunes Media".  Click OK.

  • IPhoto: slideshow music selection shows OLD iTunes library.

    Hi,
    I have re-organized my iTunes library a while ago (new playlists, different location of the files, everything in AAC, etc., but now I can't see my music anymore in iPhoto. All I see is the old iTunes library and I can't figure out how to 're-sync' this with my current library.
    Ideas anyone?
    Oh, OS 10.3.9, iPhoto 6.0.4 and iTunes 6.0.5.
    Any help is highly appreciated.
    Thanks and happy Mac-in',

  • 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.
