Iphoto slideshow not showing video

iphoto would not play videos I included in my slideshow.  It use to just stop the slideshow and play the videos then continue on with photos.  Does anyone know why this no longer works?

Doi! Yeah, that did it. Thanks!!!

  • IPhoto events only show videos, no pictures

    For some reason, my iPhoto events started showing videos only, no pictures. I can see the pictures on the thumbnails, or when I open them using Photos instead of Events, or when I open the events (projects) on Aperture. I already rebuilt the database but nothing changed. If I import new pictures (thus creating a new event), I see them on the new event's thumbnail, but once again if I go into the event nothing shows up.
    This happened around the same time iMovie analyzed the iPhoto library for videos, for a new project I'm making on iMovie. Now iMovie can't see the iPhoto videos anymore.
    Any ideas why this is happening or how to fix it?
    Thanks.

    What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
    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 Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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.

  • IPhoto is not showing photos that i have saved on an external drive. I can see tht the photos are on the drive, but iPhoto is not showing them. Help!!

    Iphoto is not showing the photos that I know are stored on the external drive. I can see that there is 45 Gig of photos stored on the drive as they appear in finder when looked for, but I cannot see them in iPhoto.
    I have used the external drive as the default location for my iPhoto library and not had this problem before.
    I had a message earlier about generating thumbnails. I also had iMovie running this morning. This is when the problem began.
    Have tried restarting computer and all the obvious things.
    Also tried rebuilding the library.
    Please help!

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, 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. 
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption. 

  • IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

    iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ?  I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

    What version of iPhoto are you using?  Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
    4 - In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - 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.

    Do you get this window when you hold down the Command+Option keys and launch iPhoto?
    If not then you're not holding down both keys long enough.

  • I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my preferences edit window. How do I get it as an option in my preferences

    I have photoshop elements 9 and iphoto does not show it in my advaced preferences drop down, it used to be there, how do I get it back again?

    Hi, Yes you are correct in iPhoto Prefernces, Advanced tab editing I used to have iPhoto and "Use external editor.". It changed to iPhoto and iPhoto Library. I have einstaleed PSE 9 and downloaded the update.  There is still no lkink to external editor in the drop down box.  Have I done something wrong inadvertently or is there a clitch?  can you reinstal iPhoto.  I am new to Macs. Every thing came preinstalled.  it is the top of the range system with 16 Gb of rRAM, 2 Tb hard drive to top graphics card etc.  I used to be on Windows PC.  Have more than 27,000 photos on the system.  Much apprecite your reply and interest in this.

  • IPhoto does not show photos in my iPhone

    Hi!
    As the title has said, my iPhoto does not show photos from my iPhone, but it DOES recognize that iPhone is connected.
    But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected.
    And also, a week ago, my iPhone usb cable seems to be spoiled at one end. It can still connect the phone to the laptop, but very loosely - as if some wires inside are broken.
    So I really do not know if the problem I mentioned is caused by my setting OR is it because of my spoiled cable (that it could not transfer the photos from the phone)
    And if it is believed that it is caused by my setting, could you please guide me on how to re-set the whole thing?
    Thank you very much.
    Ps. I can still sync my songs in itunes to my music in iPhone.

    "But before all of this happened, I changed my setting (which I forgot how to reset that) to NOT open iPhoto automatically when my phone is connected."
    Launch iPhtoto.
    In the menu, iPhoto>Preferences>General.
    Change it back.

    I tried it and nothing changed. Even when I right click on an indiviual image all it does is duplicate it. Iphoto seems to be recognizing my external hard drive as an editor......cannot get photoshop except to drag a picture into photoshop from iphoto, and once I have worked on it and saved it to iphoto I cant find it anywhere.

  • Events folders in iphoto is not showing in my ipad

    Events folders in iphoto is not showing in my ipad, it's showing only in imac and iphone, what can i do to make it in my ipad ?

    Probably
    do they show in last import? Probably they do - then you have one of two problems
    1 - incorrect event sort - correct under the view menu ==> sort events
    OR
    2 - incorrect date/time setting on the camera - correct using the camera menu to set the correct date/time for future photos and the ones already imported correct by selecting them in the last import and using the adjust time/date command

  • Photos albums from iphoto will not show in iweb media section

    Hello
    I have 2 issues. Photo albums that I created in Iphoto will not show in the Iweb media section. Also, all of the photos from half the Photo pages go missing after I update and republish to my site. They still show on the site but the photos are not longer showing in Iweb and have to be added back to the photo pages.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - close iWeb.
    2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
    3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
    4 - reboot.
    5 - launch iWeb and try again.

  • Iphoto is not showing that i have no photos

    iphoto is not showing that i have no photos, but when i look at the file size of the iPhoto library in finder it says its 86gb... how do i get these photos back into my library neatly?

    I am using iPhoto version 9.6
    I imported some photos last night and a couple messages popped up basically saying iPhoto needed to restart (i don't remember exactly what they said). So i restarted and when i opened up iPhoto again there was a single photo displaying, basically like i had just started using the app. iPhoto just tells me how to 'get started' when i open it now.

  • IPhoto 11 not showing files shared on facebook

    My iPhoto 11 is sporadically showing which photos are also being shared on Facebook when I view by Events/Photos.
    I've particularly noticed this happens when I upload photos from the same Event during different sessions-- in the second session, sometimes I end up duplicating uploads because iPhoto is not showing in the info pane that they are already being shared.
    I can view which photos I'm sharing under the web source album, and I can see that there are duplicates. I have double checked under the Events by clicking on photos I know darn well I've uploaded because I'm looking right at them ON Facebook- some twice now!- and it still does not show they are sharing.
    I only have one unique version of these pics in iPhoto, so I know I'm not uploading copies of the same images. I've updated all of my software to the most recent versions. I've restarted the computer. I can't think of any other reason why it's not showing sharing info.
    What is the issue?

    Opps error i use iPhoto 9 not 11.

  • IPhoto does not show last import

    iPhoto does not show last import. When I try to re-import photos from a desktop file it says the photos are already in the iphoto library and cannot be imported. What do I do? I've already re-installed iPhoto 09 and run updates.

    Are you saying that the last import is not showing in the last import section of the source pane or is not in the Events in the library window? If you do not see the event then your camera has the wrong date - look in the last import album and find the date and then go to that date in the events - it will be there - if you want you can then slelect the photos and use the adjust time and date command to fix it - check change original files

  • Iphoto is not showing faces anymore.

    Hello everyone.
    For some reason, my Iphoto is not showing faces anymore. All faces I've cataloged are still there, but it shows only the names. And there are many more others to identify, but It's impossible, because the menu shows only black thumbnails.
    All the other features of the app are working fine and all my pictures are shown on the other menus, like "events" or "albuns" for example.
    What can I do to solve this problem?
    I have already updated to Iphoto 11, my OS is Mountain Lion (last update 10.8.2).
    Thanks.

    Try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #2 to rebuild the thumbnails.  It may several attempts.
