IPhoto slideshows and Apple TV

Sorry - beginner with iMac - but keen to learn!
Having created a slideshow on iPhoto, I am keen to find a simple way to display it on my living room HDTV - as a quicker & more effective alternative to burning it onto a DVD first. At the same time, I want the best quality picture possible on my HDTV, as I'm using an 18 megapixel camera.
Will Apple TV deliver this for me - or is a media hard drive a better option? Alternatively is burning to DVD still the best way to show my efforts to family & friends on an HDTV?

You can export the slideshow as a movie and then import it into iTunes so you can home-share via apple tv.

Iphoto slideshows and powerpoint

I made a powerpoint presentation using multiple iphoto slideshows and some qtvr movies. the presentation works great out of powerpoint but when I save it as a movie file the iphoto slideshows are blank. Is there a specific way to save the iphoto slideshow before putting it into a powerpoint? I will also need it to be compatible with windows.
Also they won't play on windows based powerpoint.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Export the slideshows from iPhoto as QuickTime movies.
Does Windows Powerpoint support Quicktime?

No sound when I play iPhoto slideshows on Apple TV

I've loaded music and photo's onto my Apple TV. Before I downloaded the 2.4 software, the music in my iPhoto slideshows played normally. Since the download the slideshows play as I set them up in i'photo but there is no music. My music files are loaded onto Apple TV and will play independently of the photo slideshows.

Seems like even more have this problem, and that it is attributable to 2.4:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2056738&tstart=15
Seems extraordinary that an Apple software "upgrade" turns out to be a downgrade and that customers aren't warned before accepting it. Perhaps there's a good reason for this which Apple will reveal in due course, but in the meantime, for customers who want their slideshow music, why can't Apple allow a rewind to 2.3 or an earlier upgrade, to a position somewhere between what's available from the factory reset and 2.4?
It would seem that Apple TV's functionality has declined as a result of 2.4 and that the product is no longer as good as it was. In fact, every Apple TV with earlier software would seem to work better than the current model. Apple seems to have gone backwards with 2.4, not forwards. Does anyone know if the folks at Apple care, or read these forums?

IPhoto Slideshow and playlist synched but does not play together

Saw the previous posts about getting iPhoto slideshows to work where you need to sync the photo album and associated iTunes playlist.
Have done that but I am still just getting random music. It doesn't play the music associated with the slideshow playlist. I can play the playlist separately just fine. I just doesn't work with the slideshow.
Any thoughts on troubleshooting this?

Yes, sure have. And I didn't see any errors (that little triangle thing with the exclamation point)
Even changed some content so I could check that the Sync happened.

IPhoto 11 and Apple Update

I was saddened today, that after almost five years of using Apple Update rather than installing from a .dmg, that the squence did'nt install the update to iPhoto correctly and now crashes on a continuing basis on my 07 MacBook Pro.
Would it be worth my time to download the .dmg and try to install it once again and see if that might cure what ever file did'nt get written correctly during the installation or would it be better to just go back to a old Time Machine back up and try to install the old version and hopefully wite over what ever might have been installed with the Apple Update.
Apple has at least 20 reports of the crash on file as of this writing.
Your thoughts would be appreciated.

Using iPhoto slideshows with Apple TV

I am unable to get a slideshow I made in iPhoto 08 to sync to Apple TV. I imported it into iTunes, and it plays fine from there, but the menu pick to allow it to be formatted for Apple TV is grayed out. I would appreciate help in getting this to work.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

Hello, I don't have any of those things, but...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Dispalying photo titles in iPhoto slideshows on Apple TV

Hi - I have created a slideshow in iPhoto and selected 'show titles' in the slideshow settings. The titles display fine when I run the slideshow from within iPhoto but fail to show when synced to and played through Apple TV (software version 2.3). Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Seems like even more have this problem, and that it is attributable to 2.4:

Syncing iPhoto slideshows to Apple TV

I've built my slideshow in iPhoto and linked it to a music track. When I sync to my Apple TV, the slideshow is there but the music track and all the settings are gone. Anyway of fixing this?

You camera shoots 1920x1080 video. An Apple TV supports 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps and 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps.
Your 1920x1080 video needs to be converted to 960x540 for use on your Apple TV.

Iphoto slideshows and itouch

I would like to transfer a photo album with an itunes song attached onto my itouch as a slideshow. I have a how-to book which claims it is possible (that's actually where i got the idea). Supposedly, I just attach a song to an album in iphoto then sync that album to my itouch, song and all.
Unfortunately, that doesn't work. In iphoto, I can play the album as a slideshow with the music, no problem there. The album syncs over to the itouch and I can view the photos as a slideshow. No problem there.
The problem is no music follows along with the slides. The song in question is an itunes purchase that is on both my imac and itouch already.
Am I missing a step somewhere? Or is there a different way to get slideshows onto the itouch, photos and all. I read some of the posts but being a total novice I could not really follow along with the explanations of how to convert files and such.
Just wondering if there is a simple way to handle the situation.
Thanks in advance for any help.
P.S. My first post here. Woot! Former windows user and loving the imac.

The issue has nothing to do with the music at all. This movie no contains the pics and the song as it's soundtrack.
You need to convert the movie to a format that the iPod can use. For information on that I think you're best to post on the iPod Touch forum:

How do i take an iphoto slideshow and save it to my downloads?

How do i take a slideshow with music i have created and Make it download or save in a file to be used for other purposes? Such as You tube, Facebook, or make it to a dvd. I made it for my Mothers funeral and had it played instead of haveing someone speak. I would like to be able to copy it and make dvds for my five sisters, and family members, and close friends, who would like a copy. for when they miss her. Since its only on my computer i cannot share it with them Any Info would be greatly appreciated !!! :-) Thanks for all the help.

Click on the Exort button at the bottom of the slideshow window,
select the size you want in the Export window,
and save it to the Desktop or wherever you need it.

Iphoto slideshow and how to email it

I want to send 3 photos as a slideshow on email and have no idea how to do this. Can anyone help me.? They will go to a non Mac computer.

Command click each photo in the library view that you want to send. This will select each one.
Now hit the "email" icon.
In the next window, select the size of the photo/photos you want to send.
A new email message will open with the photos attached.

New apple tv and iphoto slideshows

does anyone know if the new apple tv can stream existing iphoto slideshows as they appear in iphoto? the old one sort of did for a while then lost the feature. thanks

Hi Winston,
I'm on the road right now and only have my (gasp) windows laptop with me. I'll be back home on the weekend and I'll try to describe it then.
I'm an old iMovie fan, I bought a iMac SE partly because it came with iMovie (ver 1). My complaint is the pictures are much "softer" in iMovie and I assume that is as a result of the rendering of the still picture to video. I wouldn't mind a primer from someone on how they use iMovie to make a slideshow from photos and music to get the best possible results. My old 50" Sony TV only goes to 720P (which is the best Apple TV can provide anyway) but like I said the photos themselves look stunning but the music doesn't sync right when I use iPhoto slideshow on apple TV.
I love the simplicity and short time needed to create a slideshow in iPhoto, and would prefer a solution using it instead of iMovie.
Any and all tips hints are welcome.
Thanks Again,
Old Fogie

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.

How to put Titles in iPhoto slideshows

I truly love the slideshows I create in iPhoto with music...
"BUT", I'd also like to add a brief comment before, during or after the slideshow, and I've found this impossible to do.
Is Apple waiting for the new upgrade to address this problem?...
I've gone into my wordprocessor "Appleworks, and text-edit", hoping I could then export/import the titles into iPhoto, but to no avail...
I enjoy creating slideshows with music, then burning them, then playing them on stereo sound television, and its a total blast for me when I view my creations.
So, Apple, or readers on this site, please help a poor old man towards the path of enlightenment, for life can truly be beautiful with "titles"...
Thanks to all...

Terence,
Don't know if you misunderstood my problem, but today, I found the solution to putting titles into iPhoto slideshows, and its pretty simple also.
I don't know how to enter a link here in order to include the directions on how to create titles in iPhoto..
But, briefly, create the title in any wordprocessor.
Take a screen shot.
Drag it into an iPhoto icon
Then, drag the icon into the iPhoto library.

We have no idea what enhancements - if any - are
planned for iPhoto. What you want to do cannnot be
done with iPhoto unless you use a third part editor
to create images with the comments, and import the
images into iPhoto and then incorporate them into
your slideshow. There are other apps that can caption
and use comments. Check out PhotoToMovie from

IPhoto Slideshow Question

Can I burn a dvd of an iPhoto slideshow and play it on a t.v.? I am using iPhoto 9.6 on a late 2009 iMac. I have created the slideshow and exported it with the iTunes option.

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. For iPhoto 9.4.3 and earlier select Size = Medium or Large. For iPhoto 9.5 and later selct 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.
