IPhoto slideshow with iTunes playlist

I have created a playlist in iTunes, adding 3 songs from the library. I have also created a slideshow in iPhoto and in settings I have selected the playlist I created for this event. However, when I play the slideshow it plays a sample song unless I select a specific song in the created playlist. And, it only plays one of the 3 songs I added.
I tried another computer, same results. We are a school but are not on the network for this work. iTunes is fully updated as is iPhoto.

Yes, they are all MP3. I tried other songs also on another computer and I had the same results. At this point I will burn a CD for the teacher to play during the slide show (it is an end of the year presentation for parents.) Not the result I want, but I cannot find any answers for this issue.
Please don't give up finding out the answer! I appreciate any input and am willing to try all options.

  • Created sideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes and now it will not finish when I try to burn it.

    Using Yosemite 10.10.1
    Created a slideshow in iPhoto shared with iTunes then created a DVD in iDVD and it plays in Quicktime in my MacBook Pro.
    What I'm trying to do is create a DVD that will play in a DVD Player on a TV Screen.
    When I try to burn to a DVD it is slow and then freezes in the final phase of burning. However, when I check the DVD nothing has burned. The disc is empty.
    Any ideas?

    Here's how to create a video DVD from a slideshow in iPhoto:
    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  For iPhoto 9.5 and later select 480p.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Follow this workflow to help assure 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, launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is 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.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailer like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • 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.

  • IPhoto slideshow with descriptions?

    How do I make an iPhoto slideshow with descriptions?

    This helped along with changing how I was creating the slideshow. My original approach was the select "new slideshow" from the File Menu and then drag individual images to the slideshow folder. This is what didn't work for me.
    I then tried selecting a bunch of images in an event then selected "new slideshow" from the File Menu, This resulted in a slideshow where I could shuffle the slide order in the image bar at the top. I don't know which step provided the solution, or whether it was the combination - I suspect the combination.
    Thanks for your interest and help - much appreciated.

  • Exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low

    I am using Macbook air Early 2014. OS X 10.10.1 
    My question is I exported iphoto slideshow to itune but playback quality is low. I used 480P MP4 format. How I can improve this?
    Lo

    Hello!
    My first question is pretty obvious:
    - is the quality great when previewing your slideshow in iPhoto?
    If so, try the following:
    delete the bad slideshow from iTunes
    go back to iPhoto and select a better quality export method, like 720p or 1080p
    Did that help?

  • Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

    I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

    David,
    I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
    Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
    I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
    Thanks again.

  • Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

    For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

    Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
    You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
    Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
    Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
    This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

  • ATV iPhoto Slideshow with/Music

    Hi-
    I recently purchased an Apple TV to show my iPhoto slideshows on my flat-screen TV. I am a wedding photographer and use the slideshows as part of my presentation to potential clients. These slideshows have music playing in the background and in iPhoto the music is set to loop until all of the pictures have been displayed. Unfortunately on my Apple TV the song plays once and then stops, for some reason it is not looping in the ATV as it does on iPhoto. I called Apple support and was told that is how it works. I find it hard to believe the that the ATV would display the slideshow different than how I have it setup on iPhoto. Anyone else experience this?
    Alex

    That's odd, I'm able to loop a single song to my photo slide shows on my tv.  You can do this by creating a playlist in itunes on your computer that contains the song you want to loop.  Sync your playlist back to your tv.  Go to Photos from the tv menu and select Slide Show Preferences > Music, select the playlist that you just created in itunes with your song of interest for looping.   Back out of the music menu to Slide Show Preferences and set Repeat to "On" below the music menu.

  • Exporting Quicktime Slideshows with Music Playlists-No audio

    I am using iPhoto 7.1.3, Quicktime Pro, OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro. I made a slideshow that has 300 photos and attached it to a playlist of four mp3 songs (all the same format, I believe). When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it runs fine: all four songs play through from the selection of the playlist. However, when I export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie, there is no audio.
    If I choose one song, the file works fine, repeating the music over and over.
    If I go to the hassle of opening the individual songs in Quicktime and copying and pasting the audio together into one large track, imported back into iTunes, then I can "hack" the four songs into my Quicktime export.
    It doesn't seem like this should be a problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    If you can't find a solution try Join Together, a free application for joining multiple tracks into one. It's reasonable fast, I'm joining audio CDs together as I type, and would make it much easier that doing it manually.
    That being said, try reinstalling the intel 10.4.11 COMBO installer and the latest QT updater, 7.4.1. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions. All bets are off if any of the tracks are protected tracks from the iTMS.
    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.

  • 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.

    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.

  • Creating DVD from iPhoto Slideshow with music

    I'm trying to create a DVD of a slideshow with music that was created previously in iPhoto and then "Shared with iDVD". The .m4v file located in Pictures> iPhoto Slideshows is not accessible in iDVD. The only way I can make it work is to spend the hour or so required to start from scratch by clicking "Share with iDVD" from an open iPhoto slideshow, thus creating a .m4v file and then going directly to the iDVD menu that's automatically opened at the end of the "Share with iDVD" process. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the forums.
    When I'm going from iPhoto to iDVD with a slideshow, I get good results by Exporting from iPhoto to a large-sized Quicktime movie. I can preview the video and music, and if I'm happy, I can then just drop the Quicktime file onto the iDVD menu area (not into a drop zone, that's just eye candy). It's been a reliable process for me.

  • IPhoto Slideshow - No iTunes library

    I can not add music to my iPhoto slideshow. When attempting, music appears in Sample window but nothing in iTunes window. I tried everything listed in the help section without success.

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

    No, you can easily migrate your entire library from one working compter to another.
    If you fail to backup or migrate your library and find yourself with nothing but a new empty computer and a device full of content iTunes is designed to only recover the iTunes purchased content, however third party tools can help recover everything if needed.

  • IPhoto Slideshow with Music to MobileMe

    Is it possible to upload a slideshow with music background to MobileMe, so that the music selected in for the slideshow also plays in MobileMe?

    You need to export the slideshow as a QuickTime movie and then upload that to MobileMe. And you need the permissions from the copyright owners for the music, of course.
