IPhoto Slideshow set to Music - Music Played Only on "Authorized Computers"

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X, v 10.5.8, iPhoto '08 v 7.1.5 (378). I made a slideshow picture presentation set to music and exported from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in .mov format. iPhoto notified me that the three songs set to the picture slideshow would only be able to be played on "authorized computers." This slideshow needs to be distro'd to my entire class, none of which are authorized users of my iTunes account. How do I bypass this so they will all have access to the music I set to the slideshow presentation?

Use music that doesn't have a DRM on it.
The problem arises because the these three tracks were purchased on the iTuns store and they are limited by the (then) licence on the store.

IPhoto slideshow set to music- randomly speeding up pictures

I'm creating a slideshow in iPhoto with 162 photos, and have the slide length set to automatically fit a playlist of 4 songs. It seems to work fine, except for a few photos that flash by super quick. I've verified the individual pictures don't have a different setting... How can I fix this?
Edit: Did some more looking around, and it's assigning an 18 second length to a random photo, then a 2 second length to ones right before, and the rest of the show is around 4.7 seconds each. But, I can't edit the value it gives.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Haven't heard of that issue before. I'd try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete the slideshow and create a new one. The original may have been corrupted somehow and starting over will give the database file that contains the info for the slideshow a fresh start.

My new Ipad2 doesn't display any pictures during slideshow, although the music plays fine.

I recently received an ipad 2 as a birthday gift from my wife, just before we hopped across the Atlantic to Europe (we wanted to make sure it worked well). Now that we're here and I am fiddling with it more, I have found that when I play the slideshow feature either from the photos app or using the little flower icon on the lock screen, I cannot actually see any pictures. The selected music plays during the slideshow, but there are no images displayed.
How can I correct this problem? I'm a little concerned about our location, because if I have to return it for warranty, I'm going to be challenged due to my location. I'll be here for months, so I can't just wait until I go back...

Verified - all photos is checked. I tried a few other iterations without any positive results. In all cases, the screen fades to black and displays nothing.
Upon tapping the screen, I can see that it has progressed through several photos during the time the screen is dark. This is interesting...indicating that the program is running, but without a proper display.
This is an important feature for me.

Why does the iPhoto slideshow I exported as a movie only last 5 seconds?, How do I save an iPhoto slideshow as movie?

I followed the instructions for exporting an iPhoto slideshow as a Qucktime movie, but when I drag it onto my iWeb page, it only plays for 5 seconds. What am I doing wrong?

I started having this problem last week. It affects new and old photos. Maybe one in several hundred photos has this problem. Some of them were fine earlier and have been in iPhoto for years.
This seems to be a rendering problem of some sort. When I click on the thumbnail, a fuzzy low-rez image comes up full size, but instead of resolving to full resolution the screen just goes black.
I imported 30 images yesterday. Jpegs created from RAW files by Nikon Capture. All but one are fine. The actual file in the library seems OK (I tried the suggestion above). I can export the photo and it's fine in mail or other viewers. It's just that Iphoto can't seem to display it at full/high resolution. At first I thought that it might be due to the size (12Mpxl) but the other ones are fine, and some of the old images this happens to are small (2mpxl) and taken as jpgs by an old canon point and shoot.
I'm using Iphoto8 7.1.3(364) and the only thing that's changed on my computer recently is adding the latest 10.4.11 java and security updates.
I tried to duplicate the photo, and the problem also occurs with the duplicate. I can't do the revert trick, since I haven't edited the file in any way since import.
Any help would be appreciated. I'm happy to send the affected photo if it helps.
Thanks.

Iphoto slideshow (9.5.1)is playing backwards. last slide to first.

My iphoto slideshow is playing backwards - last slide first. How can I reverse that?

Are you using an instant slideshow from an album? Instant slideshows cannot be manually sorted. Create a regular slideshow project with "File > New Slideshow". Then you have a better control about the arrangement of photos in the slideshow.

Slideshow set to music...having problems

Bless all you McAngels willin to help new-B's like me!
I have a photo slideshow prepared in iPhoto6 and would like to add a playlist from iTunes to the background. The MUSIC icon in the lower right corner brings up a window where I have checked to "Play Music in Background" however selecting iTunes only brings up a list of all my songs INDIVIDUALLY...I don't seem to have access to the PLAYLISTS that I have in iTunes.
Also, a couple of other Q's
1. I want to butn a DVD of the slideshow but SHARE> Burn is "greyed out" and my only other options are to send to iWeb or to iDVD. Is it not possible to burn directly from iPhoto?
2. After taking it to iDVD I was able to burn it to a DVD-R but it wouldn't allow me to burn to a double-layer DVD+R. The disc I burned will only play on the computer...not on my DVD player so that I can watch it on the TV. The player manual says that" discs recorded on a computer may not be playable on this unit due to the setting of the application software used to create the disc"....do I use a different type disc or is iPhoto "tweakable"?
Perhaps I am going about this from the wrong direction...would it be better from me to create the slideshow in a different application? (like iDVD, iMovie or Quicktime)
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Rebecca

Have a look at this thread where Lori explains the dimple on the Music Window in iPhoto:
On this thread
1. Yes you can burn from iPhoto, but the only way to share a slideshow with someone is to give them your entire library. Instead you need to a: Export it as a Quicktime Movie (File -> Export) or b: send it to iDVD to create a DVD from it.
2. You can create a slideshow entirely in iDVD.

Is it possible to publish an iPhoto slideshow with the music?

Is it possible to publish a slideshow with music so others can hear the music as well as see the photos? Thanks. (I have a MobileMe account).

An alternative method to put the slideshow up for others to view is to import the QT movie back into iPhoto and put it in a MobileMe gallery and publish.
If the movie is large still another alternative is to import the movie into iMovie and share it from there to a MMe account where you can select multiple sizes so those with slower internet connections can choose a smaller version to play. The following screenshot is the export window from iMovie:
Click to view full size
*+NOTE: This screenshot is from the iLife 09 iMovie. I don't remember if the iLife 08 iMovie has the same export options.+*
What you will get is this type of MMe gallery: iMovie 09 to MMe.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) 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 or later), 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. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

I feel silly: Music plays only thru iPhone, not Bose speaker, when docked

Hi--I've read the threads on the Bose Sound Dock and they seem to conclude that yes, the iPhone is compatible with the Sound Dock as long as you put it in Airplane Mode. No problem with that--but when I dock it, the sound is still coming only from the iPhone speakerphone and not the Bose.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
8gb Windows XP

My iPhone works fine with the Bose speakers. When the Iphone prompts you on whether or not you want to go into airport mode, say NO.
Also, the iPhone works in my 5th gen IPod cradle that I have hooked up in the car via RCA jacks into the AUX portion of the radio. No problems what-so-ever!
Both of these charge the iPhone.

My ipod wont let music play only orange light flashing charged it etc still no luck ??/

please help

If you have opened up the iPod, there are many things, that can go wrong when you put it back. You should perhaps post your problem in the iPod Modifier web site, Google for iPod Mod. Here we just try to help you, with procedures and the 5Rs.
And I dont think Apple will replace you battery for any price, if you or 3rd party vendors have opened the casing.
Have a nice day!

Purchased music on 2 different authorized computers

Probably dumb question but here goes. We have 2 computers sharing, and we purchased songs from both of them. Is there a way to combine the Purchased Music ? And can you burn from a shared music folder ?
Windows 2000

No, but he can copy it to an iPod, then use "Transfer purchases from iPod" to move it to another authorized computer. He can also transfer it using a thumb drive, email, etc.

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says that I am allowed to have only 5 authorized computers on this account. I do not have 5 authorized computers on my account. What can I do?

I have a new computer and I can't access my Itunes account. The message says I can't have more than 5 computers on this account and I don't. What can I do?

First of all you should really post this in Itunes forums cause you might get more hits on it.. Anyway.. You can only authorize up to 5 comps on one itunes account.. This does not include iOS devices. Those you can have 10.
So to fix this issue, open itunes, hit store on the left side, click log in (or your e-mail address if you are already logged in) in the top right hard corner of the page. One you log into your account you will see a a little area where it says you authorized 5 out of 5 comps. Below it should be a button to clear all those out. Itunes will de-authorize all computers on the account then you need to go back Store tab in the menu bar and select authorize this computer.
Remember it will deauthorize all your computers, so you need to re-authorize any other computers you have.

Music control only? Nike+ Remote / IPod Touch 2G

I've searched and I don't believe anyone has asked if the Nike+ remote (watch) will work as a music only control on the iPod Touch 2G. I don't use the shoe sensor at all, I just use the remote as a music control device. Nano 3G - no problem. I've opened the Nike+ app while music is playing and successfully got it to skip a track forward or back, but that switches out of the Nike+ app and into the music app, thus disabling the remote.
Does anyone know how / when this will work? Many of us bought the remote for a pure music control device.
Thanks - Dave

As you noticed, Bluetooth on the iPod Touch currently only works when the Nike+ application is running. iPhone OS 3.0, which is supposed be available later this year for the touch at an additional cost ($9.95), is said to enable bluetooth outside of Nike+, so maybe at that time the remote will work better (and more wireless remotes will become available). Since the Nano uses bluetooth in an adapter, it doesn't have this problem.
I have a Touch, a remote, and the sensor so I did some tests for you and found one option you have now if you are willing to buy a sensor (but you won't have to use it on your shoe):
If I start the Nike+ application, it will only let me select a playlist to play inside the app if I activate it with the shoe sensor. If I cancel out of the sensor detect, it goes back to select playlist and doesn't start the workout.
Also, if I set the music playing, go into nike+, activate with the sensor, and choose "now playing" as the playlist, it will seem to work, but then, just as you indicate, the first forward/back will exit the Nike+ app and I will lose remote control. And this occurs even when using the shoe sensor! So it must have a workout started with a playlist other than 'now playing' selected inside the Nike+ app.
However, if you are willing to buy the sensor ($20) even if you won't use it for exercise and are willing to put up with a few voice prompts, there is a solution.
Start the Nike+ app, choose a workout, choose a playlist, then shake the sensor to get it register. Now you can control music with the remote. You can put the sensor aside. After a minute, the music will pause and the app will tell you 'activity stopped'. Just unpause the music with the remote and you can continue to play music from that playlist without reactivation the sensor. If you want to change playlists, you can open the app, pause the workout, and use the 'change music' button. The remote continues to work without any further sensor input, but you will get voice prompts "activity stopped", "resuming working" anytime you pause/unpause the music.

Can I set the ipod to shuffle play only a playlist?

I have an iPod classic. Can I set it to shuffle play only a selected playlist? It looks as though I can only shuffle all the songs on the iPod.

Usually, in addition to the "Shuffle All" function on the main menu, there's a shuffle play mode that can be toggled during playback.
Start playing your desired playlist, then press the center button and see if there's an option to toggle shuffle mode on.

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.
