IPhoto slideshow problem--stuck on selected photo

Question

I have an iMac (late 2009)  OS X 10.9.2. In Feb. 2014, Maverick was intalled in this computer.  I use iPhoto a lot to organize and store photos.  Today I was trying to look at a vacation album in Slideshow mode and it would only display one photo, over and over again.
How do I get Slideshow to function properly?

Answer 1

By selecting more than one picture.
If you want to Slide show using, lets say, pictures 1 to 20. Then you would click on picture 1 to select it, then before clicking on picture 20, you would have to press and hold the Shift key. This process will select all pictures from 1 to 20.
If you, however, want only a selected few pictures from 1 to 20. Lets say pictures 3-5-9-12-17 and 19. Then as you are selecting each of those pictures, you would press and hold the Command key as you are selecting each picture.
But lets say you want all 1 to 20 pictures except for one. Then just repeat the first, select picture 1 then press and hold the Shift key as you click on the 20th picture. Release the Shift key, then go to the picture that you don't want to show, press and hold the Command key and select the picture. You'll see the yellow bar surrounding the picture is now gone, but the remaining pictures still have their's.
When ready, just start the slide show as normal.
