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:

*+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.

How do I copy slideshow with the music to a DVD?

How do I burn a slideshow with the music (from iTunes) to a DVD - can't seem to get the music to go with it.
Thanks for any help.

Provided the external is suitably formatted, Just drag and drop from their location on the Mac to wherever you want them on the external.
Or are you meaning moving an iPhoto Library?

Is it possible to create an iPhoto slideshow with a menu for each child?

I want the DVD to open with three photos: Karen's, Lori's and Amy's.
When Karen clicks her photo, three more of her photos will appear: a baby photo, a school-age photo, and an adult photo. If she wants to watch a slideshow of her baby pictures, she will click the baby photo...
Each daughter will have a similar setup - three slideshows for each of them. I'm not very picky about which theme will do the job.
I have checked two books and the Apple tutorial and can't find a similar example.
This is only my second slideshow. Any help will be appreciated!
Flat Panel iMac (still love it) w/superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.4) iLife'06, 512 mb ram, 200 GB and 250 GB hard drives, wireless network

Yes this can be done.
First create the 9 slideshows you need in iPhoto......for each one, when finished use the "Send to iDVD" to create a QT movie of each slideshow......be sure to pick the music/playlist in iPhoto (unless you want to use iMovie for that and other things...). When iDVD opens, just close it without saving.
Then open iDVD and choose a menu. As an example, choose "Portfolio Color". Retitle it to "Daughters" or whatever you want.
Then click on the "+" sign at the lower left, and choose "add submenu" -do this two more times yo get three folders. Then click on the media button, and choose three photos to use as a button instead of the folder. Just drag each photo onto the folder. Rename each submenu to Karen, Lori and Amy. Click once on the text, wait, then click again and edit.
Then double click on one submenu. Drag in the correct three iPhoto movies you exported using the "Send to iDVD" command. By default, they go to your home directory in the Movies folder. You can also find them using the Media tab in iDVD and look for Movies.
Go back to the "Main" menu using the back arrow (double click on it).
Repeat for the other two submenus.
Hope this helps,

Is it possible to sync multiple iphoto libraries with the iPhone?

I have two libraries in iPhoto 08 but iTunes only lets me pick the default iPhoto library to sync with my iPhone. Is there a way to sync the iPhone with multiple iPhoto libraries?

You are correct. This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
Example:
Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
Click on Calendars
Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
Login to MM user account A on me.com
Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

Is it possible to create a slideshow with the theme "Places" ?

Hello,
I used to create slideshows with the theme "Places" in Iphoto and I can't find it in Photo.
Is it still possible ?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
According to this page:
http://www.apple.com/support/photoservices/product_specs/
You’ll need to upgrade to at least v6 for a calendar.
Cards and calendars are available only for users of versions of iPhoto 6 or later.

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. Any suggestion?

Hi, I tried to create a slideshow that contain more than 500 photos. Now, trying to open / execute / select the slideshow, iPhoto hangs with the spinning coloured wheel and I have only to force the deletion from System Preference. I already tried to rebuild the iPhoto Library (all the possible options) and tried to update teh version from 9.4.3 to 9.5 but the problem still persists: is there a way to delete this slideshow without selecting it ? How can I solve the problem, please?
Kind Regards

Can you restore your iPhoto Library from a backup version, that was created before you added the slideshow?
If not, have you tried to rebuild the slideshow with iPhoto Library Manager?
As described by Terence Devlin here: Re: iphoto library was created with an unrelased version of iphoto please quit and ugrade library by opening it in iphoto 2 or iphoto 4

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.

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 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.

IPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

iPhoto Slideshow: Sometimes the slideshow starts at the last image, rather than the first. How do I ensure the slideshow commences at the first image?

Is this a slideshow played directly from an album or Event or one created in the slideshow mode?
If it's the former that's been a problem for a many users. There hasn't been a firm fix found for it as yet.
There is a workaround. Put the photos in the order you want, select them all and use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Title to Text menu option. Put in Slide and check the box to add a sequential number to give you Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
Now when clicking the play button at the bottom of the Album or Event window the slides will play in the order Slide-01, Slide-02, etc.
The best workaround is to use the iPhoto slideshow mode to crate the slideshow. There's been no reorts of similar problems in that mode.

My 7-year-old iMac died. I don't plan to replace it. It is backed up to Crashplan. Is it possible to restore my iPhoto library to the cloud, i.e. iCloud or Dropbox, so that I can access the photos as needed from my iPad or iPhone?

Probably not - but that certainly does not involve iPhoto for the Mac - you need to look at Crashplan support for you options
And iCloud is not a place to store photos so that is certainly not a possibility
If you restore your masters folder out of the iPhoto library you will have all of your original photos to do with what you please

I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
thanks much

First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want. You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide.
In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right. Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
Click to view full size
Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store. You won't be able to use them if they are. And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

Create slideshow with NO music

Hello all.
How do you go about creating a slideshow in iPhoto 08 with NO music? I find controls for transitions, length of photos, ken burns, etc but can't find a setting to delete music from the slideshow.
Thanks much!
Mike

DUH!!
Figured it out, sorry to have bothered...guess I shouldn't be so impatient.

It 'possible that Logic 9 is incompatible with the latest update to lion 10.7.5?

It 'possible that Logic 9 is incompatible with the latest update to lion 10.7.5?

Where can I find the "All Images" list? When I go to Finder - Pictures there is nothing there (just the new iPhoto library that is empty). They are not in the "All My Files" folder nor the Trash. Though, when they were in iPhoto previously, I could never see them in the "All My Files" folder, either - which I thought was weird. Thanks again for your support.

Flickr slideshow with AirTunes music?

Is it possible to run a Flickr photo slideshow (or any other internet photo slideshow for that matter) on AppleTV and simultaneously send iTunes music to play through this AppleTV as a targeted speaker via AirTunes?
For example, when the AppleTV is idle, I can send music to the AppleTV via the iTunes speakers selection, and music will play through the TV with track/album/artist info shown/overlayed on the AppleTV screensaver. With the music streaming, as soon as I control the AppleTV locally to go to photos and display a slideshow of a Flickr album, the music stops playing through this AppleTV.
Likewise, if I start a Flickr slideshow first on the AppleTV, and then go to iTunes to select this AppleTV as an AirTunes speaker, I get a message in iTunes that this device is in use and can't connect.
Note: In this scenario I do not want the AppleTV visuals to be the local content "floating and flipping" slideshow of the screensaver, but rather a slideshow whose source material is pulled from the internet (i.e. Flickr, MobileMe...)
I am running current versions of iTunes and AppleTV firmware.

Ah well. Perhaps this will be a feature in a future firmware update for AppleTV.
