IPhoto slideshow that uses registered music

I have created a slideshow on iPhoto, I was allowed to utilize the music i have stored in my iTunes library. When i went to export the slide show, I was told that I could export just the photos and the music that isn't registered to an actual artist. My question is:
Is there a way to export the iPhoto slideshow including the registered music?
If so, how?
I imported the slideshow to iMovie instead, but can't seem to insert the music I had from the original slideshow. How do I do that in iMovie?

Is there a way to export the iPhoto slideshow including the registered music?
What kind of song are you using?
If your song has been bought from the iTunes Store and is in the older "Protected AAC audio file" format you cannot use the file to render a video or bounce a new song with GarageBand, because that would remove the protection.
Check the "kind" in iTunes in the "Info" panel for the song, in the "File" tab.
If you have backed up your songs to CD by burning a playlist to CD, try if the backed up CD versions of your songs can be used. Sometimes that works.

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues...

iphoto slideshow tries to read music videos in itues... It appears that i have music videos in my itunes music library, and when I try to start building a slide show in iphoto. Iphoto first looks a the music libary and hangs up trying to play music videos.
Can anyone shed any light on this behavior of Slideshow

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Does this occur when you add music to the Slideshow? Or some other time?

If i download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space?

If I download my photos into iPhoto does that use up more hard drive space on my mac?

iPhoto and Lightroom are similar apps - although LR is a far more capable app - and that the price it should be, of course. But the two apps are similar in that they both offer
Photo Management
Non-Destructive Processing
So, essentially, they both play the same part in the workflow.
The procedure would be to
Download the images from the camera into the Photo Manager (regardless of which one you choose)
Review and select in the Manager
Trash the unwanted with the Manager
Process the images - that is, in most cases edit them.
It is at this point - and only this point - that Photoshop might come into play. Both of these apps can act as a 'front-end' for Photoshop - after all, they're the Managers. But in truth, if you're using Lightroom then you very likely do not need Photoshop at all, and for anything that does require layers you can use one of the many - much less expensive - alternatives. But I think the common experience is that with Lightroom (like Aperture) the requirement for the sledgehammer that is Photoshop really fades away.
So pick one horse and ride it. Choose between LR and iPhoto. Use it like it's intended. Don't get involved in other necessary apps. Don't review before bringing the photo into the manager - that's what the manager is for.

IPhoto quits when using purchased music from iTunes!

I am trying to put together a slideshow for a funeral tomorrow. I have created the slideshow and a new playlist in iTunes with the music the people want. However, if I use songs I have loaded on my mac from cd everything works great, if I attempt to use songs purchased through iTunes, iPhoto quits unexpectedly....shoot me in the face now! Please help......

Run Software Update to make sure you have the lastest version of Quicktime.
How are you going to show this slideshow? You know that you won't be able to burn it to disk if you use Protected Music?

I would like to create a soundtrack for my iPhoto Slideshow that consists of "parts" of say three songs" - how can I do this?

I am about to create a slideshow for my daughters wedding and I would like to be able to have three sections of photos (her, him, and both) in this show as well I would like to have one soundtrack that has parts of three songs - matching up with each section.
How do I create such a soundtrack, and then how do I match it up to the three sections of my photos?
Believing this can be done then how do I transfer it to a device that will play on a large screen at the wedding?
Thanks!

Do you have iDVD on your Mac? If so here's how you can do it.
Create 3 separate slideshows. Use iTunes to trim the tracks you want to use for each slideshow. Select the track and type Command+i to bring up the sound track's info window. Then set the start and stop times to what you need;
Do that for each of the three slideshows.
Next:
1 - export each slideshow to the Desktop with the Size = medium or large.
2 - launch iDVD, create a project and select a theme.
3 - create a slideshow in iDVD via the "+" button.
4 - drag the three QT movie files into the slideshow window in the order you want them to play.
5 - set the slide duration to anything but manual or fit to music.
6 - do not select any transition or music.
7 - follow this workflow to help ensure the best quality video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
The video DVD disc can then be played with a set top DVD player on a TV set.

Iphoto Slideshow Won't Assign Music

Ive searched the forums and tried all the reponses, but nothing has worked. I created a slideshow in iphoto (with most up to date software update). When I click to assign music, it will allow itunes to come up. I pick my music (from itunes), click ok. When I go to view the slideshow, no music. My older slideshow's will play music and even assign new music. What am I doing wrong here?

Hi, I'm just playing with my slideshow music uploads also. I'm just wondering and it may seem odd to ask but do you need to check your sound preferences or volume button to hear the music. Not sure I've assisted, my issue is around how to attach various different songs from my itunes to my one slideshow. I can attach and play the music but cannot as yet work out how to add several. Many thanks if you can help with this question?

How can i delete a photo in a iPhoto slideshow that is in the iCloud?

I have created an iPhoto slideshow and put in the photo stream and it is now on iCloud. I want to delete a photo in the slideshow but I can see to be able to edit. I can't get the thumbnails in a the photo browser so that I can choose the photo to delete. What is it that i must do to accomplish this? Thanks!

I created the slideshow and shared in the iCloud and made it public website.
Did you share the photos from your slideshow as a shared Photo Stream and publish this Photo Stream as a public website?
I can't get the thumbnails in a the photo browser so that I can choose the photo to delete.
Then delete the photo in the iCloud section of iPhoto's Source list from your shared photo stream.
Or did you publish a slideshow as a webpage in iPhoto on a mobile device (iPhone, iPad)? In that case, if you already upgraded the mobile device to iOS 8, there is no longer any way to access the webpage, since iPhoto iOS is incompatible with iOS 8.

Iphoto slideshow won't play music

when I create a slideshow in iphoto, the music I selected will not play. The slideshow functions normally otherwise. Is this a problem with Mavericks?

What music are you selecting? From iTunes?
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Iphoto slideshow themes used in idvd

i know it can be done, i did it this spring, thanks to the discussion board... but i can't remember how to do it. i have created a slideshow in iphoto and in order to burn them to a dvd,i understand i need to take it into idvd... but HOW DO I KEEP the themes i created in iphoto? anyone?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. FWIW you could have eliminated the iMovie step and just opened iDVD, selected a theme and dragged the movie into the open iDVD window being sure to avoid any drop zones that the theme might have. This will avoid and addition processing of the media which just degrades the final image quality.
You could also add a slideshow to the iDVD project with the "+" button, open the slideshow and drag the movie into it. The benefit of this is you can scale the movie to the TV safe area so as to not lose any of it to TV overscan that you get on older TV sets.

Sharing iPhoto slideshow using iDVD

After spending a painstaking amount of time, getting everything just perfect in my iPhoto slideshow, then using Sharing to export to iDVD, my sound and slideshow no longer line up.The slideshow now ends and the song gets cut off. I have even tried adding extra time to my slideshow and make other adjustments, but having to export takes time and I need it to end up the way I made it. This is only a 57 image, one song (4:08 min), slideshow. It goes off without a hitch in iPhoto. I have adjusted every frame for effects (no prepackaged iPhoto stuff) and duration. Any help here would be appreciated.

Eventually, I want to integrate my .jpg pictures with music ( assume MP3) together to be seen and heard on a server. Is there a way I can accomlish this?
Have not tried to do that.
In iPhoto 6 there is a thing called Photocast. That might work. I don't use iPhoto, so I'm not much help there. You should visit the iPhoto 6 group.
but I can not create a successful DVD to distribute to famiy members. What am I doing wrong?
Apparently you are doing something wrong. I do that all the time.
Why don't you tell us more about your computer. Use my info below for guidance. There are some pretty steep hardware requirements.

ITunes music for iPhoto Slideshow

Not able to use files from iTunes for iPhoto Slideshow. Only SAMPLE MUSIC. This is the message that I get > iTunes The song "The Sad Cafe" could not be used because the original file could not be located.

Have you checked, if the song plays correctly, when you try to play the song "The Sad Cafe" in iTunes? If you see an exclamation point besides the song, you need to reconnect that dead track to the original file. When you try to playy the song, iTunes should prompt you for the location of the song. Use the File Chooser window, that will pop up, to search for the file and select it.
Then try again to use the song in your slideshow.

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

Sandy
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.

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.

Animated iPhoto Slideshow: Cannot recreate my original slideshows

In early 2011, I created 7 different animated iPhoto Slideshows to use as part of my acting and modeling marketing program. The iPhoto Slideshow software was amazing in how it took still photography and, in a seemingly simple and easy way, transformed it into exciting, highly creative, professional looking video presentations with synchronized music. My slideshows were many times better than the original still photography.
Recently, I needed to update/replace one photo in some of these slideshows. To my dismay, I discovered that it was impossible to recreate four of these iPhoto Slideshows. Every time I attempted to do so, the resulting slideshows were nothing like my original slideshows. Actually, the overall quality of these 4 slideshows has been drastically downgraded to the point of being unusable--for one or more of the following reasons: the most interesting, unusual setup of 4 photos [up left: square; up rt: oblong; low left: oblong; low rt: square] in Sliding Panels has been eliminated; this results in a lot of repetition of the same setups within this slideshow; in another slideshow, the current software produces a totally different slideshow that is absolutely rigid throughout and will make no changes/modifications, regardless of the photo order or photo format; in one slideshow, the photo alignment is completely off; and the music is not always in sync with the action.
Over the past several months, I have discussed these problems with many different people at Apple Support. Everyone that I have spoken with assumed the problem was caused by a software update to iPhoto Slideshow sometime since early last year. On April 6th, after reviewing this problem with Apple Engineering, an Apple Support Advisor briefed me on what Engineering had to say. The response was basically this: When the iPhoto Slideshow was created, Apple purposely included an algorithm that continually changes the slideshows. Therefore, if I create a slideshow today, it may be impossible to ever recreate that same slideshow again because of this algorithm.
I must admit that I am more than a little suspicious about Apple’s response. It seems just too good to be true; especially due to the fact the stated cause is not easily provable or disprovable. And Apple Support certainly did not attempt to validate or offer any reasons to support why I should accept this as truthful. Actually, until now, everyone at Apple that I had spoken with assumed the problem was caused by an update to the iPhoto Slideshow software since early last year. Moreover, 3 of the original slideshows are currenty easily re-creatable. Finally, this stated cause is so consistent with my experience of how Apple handles all product and software problems: Nothing is wrong with our product or software. There must be something wrong with your system or how you are using it.
My bet is that Apple significantly changed the slideshow software when they introduced the new iPad in late 2011 to accomodate the unique format of iPad. Hence, the iPhoto Slideshow software would work on iMac, iPhone and iPad.
MY QUESTION IS SIMPLY THIS: HAS ANYONE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAVE WITH THE ANIMATED iPHOTO SLIDESHOWS?

Is this the panel you're referring to in the Sliding Panels theme?
If so then it's still availabe in the iPhoto 11 version. Try a different arrangement of photos. If that doesn't work try this: make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

IPhoto slideshow, remove some photos

I've created an elaborate iPhoto slideshow that looks fantastic (custom settings for nearly every slide).
QUESTION: I'd like to make a DIFFERENT slideshow by removing a few slides from my origonal 'fantastic' slideshow while keeping the origonal one intact. I know I can edit and alter my current slideshow in iPhoto but that will change the current slideshow--which I want to remain intact so I can use it as my base, starting slideshow. I'd rather copy the slideshow in iPhoto (with the photos along the top and able to adjust settings for each slide) maintaining the order and settings with the ability to remove several slides.
Does that make sense?
I've searched duplicate iPhoto slideshow and all i find is ways to add duplicate photos to the slideshow.
Any tips? Thanks for your input!
Chad

select the slideshow in the source pane on the left and duplicate it (command - D) so youy have two copoies of the show and can change each one independently
