IPhoto Slideshow on iPod

Is it possible to copy a slideshow created in iPhoto 08 to a video iPod?

Bruce F
Yes and no.
No, you can't copy the slideshow over straight via iTunes as all you get to Sync with iTunes are albums. But Yes, you can export a Slideshow as a Quicktime Movie (File -> Export) and bring that onto the iPod.

Quicktime iPhoto Slideshow to iPod

Took iPhoto slideshow and exported it to iDVD. In the process it creates a Quicktime movie which can be moved to iTunes video and played. But when iPod is connected it says it cannot load it. Message suggests I convert format for iPod but only conversion option I can find is to convert to ACC, which I tried but it said file was protected. I'm a fairly green user and can't understand why a file create by iPhoto which can be used in iTunes cannot be accepted by iPod.
Any help out there?

If you want to sync the slideshow as a movie, it must conform to an iPod compatible movie format -- i.e., either MPEG-4/AAC or H.264/AAC format. To do this, simply select the file in question and use the "Convert Selection for iPod" option under either the advanced menu or the right-click contextual menu.

Bringing Quicktime movies or iphoto slideshows into ipod video

Thanks!

IPhoto slideshows on my iPad

I have seen one of my iPhoto slideshows on my iPad so I know it is there. It was put together in iPhoto with music and I THOUGHT I viewed it in my video app. I cannot find anything in my video app now except two purchased videos. I have the latest version of iPad. Where could it be?

Thanks for the tip Demo!
Sadly it is so.
Don't know why Apple didn't include slideshows into the iPhoto for iPads!
Solved the problem with Phtosync & Sugarsync Apps.
Another super apps for transfering Movies/Slideshows to your iPod, is VLCstreamer.
You can even watch movies that are on your Mac or extension drives via WiFi , streamed to the iPad
without even having to upload them to the pad (Which you can do also !).

IPhoto slideshow to quicktime and audio tracks fadeout, undesirable.

I made a quicktime movie out of an iPhoto slideshow and the audio tracks fade out. Can this be prevented?

You probably will need a 3rd party application to convert the . mov QT file that iPhoto creates into a format for the iPod. Some are VisualHub, ViddyUp, and iSquint. You can find them at VersionTracker.com.

TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Can't import music to automatically match slideshows in iPod

I've got a vidio iPod and have loaded playlists and photo albums. The Photos>Music>From iPhoto option doesn't seem to work for me. I guess I don't know how to assign music to the albums in iPhoto. I can set up & save slideshows in iPhoto, but then slideshows don't show as an import option in the iPod dialog. I can import the original album I made the slideshow from, but that doesn't seem to tie the music to it on iPod. I've even made sure that the playlist that I used is imported from iTunes. I know that I can always select the playlist to go with the album display, but it seems that the "From iPhoto" setting should take care of it automatically. Am I missing an iPod preference setting that would allow me to import slideshows with linked music?
I'm using the latest version of iPhoto ('06 update) and iTunes. This is cross application, so I'll be posting this in iPhoto and iTunes also. Maybe I'm missing a setting in one of those apps.
Posted here because iTunes app doesn't allow me to automatically sync slideshows from the photo section of the iPod preferences pane.

I found the solution. I was setting up new slideshows from my albums in iPhoto using the buttons across the bottom of the window. iPod doesn't recognize the slideshows for transfer. To assign music, you must set up a "temporary" sideshow for your albums. The options can be saved, but they remain albums and are transferable with music (as long as the music/playlist assigned is included in the music transfer preference pane also).
To do this, select your album and use the "Play" button that is on the bottom of the window (you may have to expand the bottom control bar to see the play button). This will bring up options that allow you to select music for the album. Make sure to save settings and then update the photo album in the iPod transfer menu from the iTunes application. Now when you select use music from iPhoto in the iPod Slideshow settings, you will always hear the music you selected for that album.
Cool feature, but not explained well - I got sidetracked in iPhoto by thinking you had to set up "official" slideshows.

Import iphoto slideshow into ipad

Is it possible to import an iPhoto slideshow into an iPad?

Hi Constance,
You would first need to export the slideshow from iPhoto as a Quicktime movie.
Then you can view it on your iPad.
Here's how:
iPhoto '11: Export a slideshow
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2428?viewlocale=en_US
iPhoto '11: View photos or slideshows on iPod, iPhone, iPad, or Apple TV
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2437?viewlocale=en_US
Hope this information helps ...

My songs sound scratchy when used in my iphoto slideshows

I am putting 3 iphoto slideshows along with 2 video clips into idvd as a project. My songs all sound scratchy even though I have turned down the volume on the slideshows. What am I doing wrong???
Help!

Oh, I forgot to add this on... I had an IPOD 60 but it got stolen... I got this IPOD 80 as a replacement. The songs sounded fine on the IPOD 60.

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.

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.

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.

Iphoto slideshow on tv

I'm trying to watch an iphoto slideshow on my tv. so I bought a "mini-dvi to video adapter" but when I connect it to my tv via the video connector (yellow) all I see is my wallpaper and nothing else, no mouse pointer movement, files opening or anything else, just my wallpaper, I can't see my iphoto slideshow either. any ideas what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

Try hooking up the MacBook to the TV with the MacBook off and then boot it up. Also with the TV connected to the MacBook go into the System Preferences/Monitors pane. There should be an option to set the monitor and TV. Don't remember exactly what it looks like as it only comes up if there's an external monitor or projector connected. There may be a setting that needs to be changed.

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...:)

How do I add a video clip to my iPhoto slideshow?

In an iPhoto slideshow, I want to add a video clip. If I select cut then I need to click paste but that option does not come up.

First just drag the clip and drop it onto the slideshow title in the left hand pane. The you can postiion it where you want in the slideshow itself.

Will an iPhoto slideshow with music work on all computers in China?

I am making a promotional DVD for an education program in the US, and taking it to China to education fairs. If it is an iPhoto slideshow with music, will it work on all Chinese computers? I assume so, because since it is not video, I should not have to worry about different formats-right? I've got enough to worry about on this trip!
Prof. Fisher

On every single computer in China? Impossible to tell. But if you create a slideshow in iPhoto and send it to iDVD to be burned to a DVD then it will play on anything that plays DVD.
