Is there a setting that prevents the slideshow from not playing ?

Hi All,
Im experiencing problems in Lr4 with the slideshow module not function properly.  It will open and prepare a preview of images and then default or return to the original screen when finished preparing the previews.
i.e. it won't play !!!  It just flashes black once and returns to the first image in the slideshow as if its waiting for me to start play.
Has any one encountered this before ?
Looking for recommendations and remedies to fix this problem if possible.
S.

OS Mavericks 10.9.5
Lr 4
no prior trouble shooting out side of the module itself.

    You need to start over with Music. On the iPhone Music screen uncheck sync music. Also, on the Summary screen uncheck "Manually manage music and videos", then sync and it should clear off your phone.
    Next, choose the music you want to sync. If you want to fit more on check "Convert higher bit rate songs to 128 kbps AAC". This will reduce quality slightly, but it won't be noticable unless you are using $300 headphones.

  • Is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

    I am creating a structure with tags and place holders.  However, not all my entries have all the same information. For example, my first entry has a 3 line address (123 West Street, Suit 23, Lincoln NE 68521) but my second entry only has 2 line address (456 North Street, Lincoln NE 68521).  When imported into my structure, the second address reads 456 North Street, <address2>, Lincoln NE 68521. My question for you is, is there a way for preventing the placeholder from appearing if there is not content for it?

    IJWAA,
    A work-around if you don't already use XSLT (to avoid having to) is to not have placeholder text, just use empty tags in your text layout that correspond to your incoming XML structure (any unused by the incoming structure IN ORDER, will be skipped). So long as you don't mind the blank line (rather than left over placeholder copy).
    If you had placeholder copy in your text box (<address2> for example) look at it using the story editor window (edit > edit in story editor, or command-y/control-y) so you can see the surrounding tags... style the surrounding tags by selecting them with the cursor and applying character or paragraph styles (with text in between the tags at the time) and then delete only the placeholder text from the middle of the sandwich, leaving the tags in tact. Trying to do this without being in the story editor will not work.
    Also, when importing the XML, I believe you'll still need to use "merge content" and "don't import empty white space" as you have been in order to replace placeholder text in any areas you had it.
    For situations when you have a mixture of dynamic and static text in the same text block and you are merging data (more so when the placeholder text has been deleted as I've suggested above but the dynamic tags for the possible incoming text are still there), you can use a tag you've created (I call mine "staticText") in your layout to wrap ANY bits of text you don't want to accidentally delete when the surrounding tags get populated or not, using the merge option upon importing your XML. Just be sure never to use "staticText" as an actual tag in your structure or surrounding incoming data. The text contained within staticText tags in your layout will be ignored by incoming data, and won't accidentally get deleted when it's sandwiched between two sets of tags that are dynamically populated when merge content is the import option.
    In my example below I'm using brackets/carats with the tag name instead of the color coded tag icon you see in the story editor, also I've used LB here to indicate a regular line break in Indesign and SP a regular space character in indesign:
    [staticText>Name:<staticText][firstName>Abc<firstName][staticText>SP<staticText][lastName>Xyz<firstName][staticText>LB<staticText]
    [staticText>Address:<staticText][address1><address1][staticText>LB<staticText]
    [address2><address2][staticText>LB<staticText]
    all other tags on following lines...
    This should just leave a blank line for address2 when no data comes in for it. I'm assuming you have line breaks, if not, all the better.

  • Is there any way to prevent the OS from querying the Superdrive when start

    Just a random question. Whenever my MacBook Pro starts up (either from sleep or a complete/fresh start, the OS queries the drive slot to see if there is a disc present. While this may be normal behavior, it seems to slow down the start up process. (I rarely ever have a disc in the drive). Just curious if this, in fact, normal, or if there's something awry.

    No

    How can you tell? Based on the noise it makes?

  • I want to add a Saved Mailbox, but I do not have an Edit button for Mailboxes?  Is there a setting that causes the Edit button to display?

    The user manual says to go Mailboxes and click the Edit button to add a Mailbox, but I do not have an Edit button displayed in Mailboxes.  Is there a setting for displaying the Edit Button?  I have the latest version of iPad (Model MD328LL).  Thanks.

    If you go to your email account in the Mail app and look at the window where your inbox, trash folder and sent folder are - if there is an Edit button at the top of the window - tap that and then tap Add Mailbox at the bottom.
    If the Edit button is not there - you cannot create folders on the iPad. Your email account is not IMAP. Only IMAP email accounts can create folders on the iPad. Any folders that you would already have in an IMAP account would sync to the device as well.

  • EOS rebel T2i battery is dying really quick. Is there a setting that uses the battery?

    I replaced my battery in my 2  year old rebel T2i because the battery started dying a lot sooner.  The new battery didn't last much longer. I have the "Auto Power Off" setting to 30 seconds.  Is there another setting that will keep the battery / camera on or is there some other problem?  OR, is there a way to reboot the system to factory defaults?  Thanks.

    I did a search at images.google.com for "canon t2i menu" and noticed that I can find versions with 2 yellow wrenches as well as 3 yellow wrenches.
    Here's a link to your camera's manual at the Canon site.  
    http://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/9/0300004289/02/eosrt2i-eos550d-im3-c-en.pdf
    The instructions are on page 144 -- but it definitely shows that it's the 3rd wrench tab based on that manual.
    This many be related to firmware version.
    The last firmware for that camera is version 1.0.9.  You can find it here:  http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/eos_slr_camera_systems/eos_digital_slr_cameras/eos_re...
    Updating firmware is fairly easy but they DO want you to have a freshly charged battery (and you said your battery is dying "really quick" -- not sure how long that actually is.  It takes just a few minutes to apply new firmware but it would be bad if the camera died before the update completed.

  • Is there some file setting that prevents the Image Processor from resizing?

    Problem:
    Some jpg images can't be resized using the Image Processor. I'm guessing there may be some setting (?) that prevents resizing but i can't find it. The images run through the Image Processor but retain their original size.
    Platform:
    Windows XP Pro, SP2
    Photoshop CS4, Bridge CS4
    What i tried:
    - i looked at the file info in Bridge - nothing apparent there that would cause the problem
    - the file attributes in Windows only have the archive bit set (they are NOT read only)
    - when i run the Image Processor either from Bridge or Photoshop the picture remains its original size
    - i have tried many combinations in the Image Processor dialog box, e.g. Convert Profile to sRGB, Include ICC Profile, etc.  (i DO have the Resize to fit check box checked)
    - i can resize the photo manually in Photoshop
    - some photos work, some don't
    - many of the photos were edited on Roxio on my wife's computer, renamed in Bridge and then copied over to my computer
    Thank you very much!

  • Is there a setting that prevents you from moving into the next "set?"

    A couple times I have mistakenly hit my "next patch" button one too many and ended up in the next set. This is a problem because the backing track that was playing suddenly stops because I am in the next set, understandably.
    Is there a setting or mapping that I can use so I can't enter the next set using the "next patch" button and only use the "next set" button.
    Any ideas out there???
    Thanks!!!!

    Forget the physical controller button for a moment, that's a red herring.
    I have a single button on the screen that for SOME PATCHES ONLY, has the action "Current Program Number" associated with it. In the "Map Parameter" area, there are two sliders for which you set values for "Button On" and Button Off". Those get set to the same value, which is the value of the patch to which you want to go next.
    So suppose you have patch 1 and in that batch, the aforementioned button has its values set to 5, then if you press that button WHEN YOU ARE IN PATCH 1, then you will switch to patch 5. Now, further suppose that in patch 5, that same button has its values set for patch 12. Then pressing that button WHEN YOU ARE IN PATCH 5, will take you to patch 12.
    Now, if you go into learn mode and associate that screen button with a physical controller button, then you can do exactly the same thing by pressing that physical button. The patch to which you will go will depend on which patch is currently active. If the last patch in that chain doesn't have any values associated with the button, then pressing that button (via your controller) will do nothing at all.
    I suppose that if you're concerned with hitting that controller button by mistake, then you might actually want to have two buttons, one that takes you to the next patch in your chain, the other to the previous.

  • In fullscreen mode, is there a way to prevent the page from shifting down when displaying the menu and tabs?

    In fullscreen mode (F11), when moving the mouse toward the top of the screen to display the tabs & stuff, the page displayed is shifted down. This makes it annoying when returning down with the mouse - you want to reach a certain link, for example, but your target gets shifted up once the tabs & stuff is hidden back.
    Is there any way to make the tabs & stuff display 'above' the page content, like on another layer?

    Is it the web page display that is changing its own position, or is it something
    about the toolbars that is pushing the page down? I have the same issue with

  • Artificial intelligence loop - prevent the application from not responding

    Hello there! I'm trying for fun and for knowledge to build up a simple "bot" which takes informations from the environment (and thus not only from the application itself).
    The first attempt to build it was to create a "mainLoop", containing some conditions with sub-loops, going into loop via
    - (BOOL) mainLoop {
    loop:;
    if(/* conditions to exit */) return NO;
    // my conditions with subloops
    goto loop;
    return YES; // will never be cast
    The problem is that as soon as I start the program, it will stop responding.
    Is my approach wrong? How would you structure it?
    Thanks

    Thank you, I've tested those codes and learnt something more about threads. Wanting an Objective C solution (just to learn this superset too, without having to port this code on other platforms), I found my error and resolved.
    There was still a series of warnings about memory leaking, so surfing on the web I found what an NSAutoreleasePool is and I used it to do threaded stuff and release it at the end.
    Now, threading my process, I came to another problem:
    * __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x3174e0 of class MemoryAccess autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
    ^-- this and similar errors, like
    * __NSAutoreleaseNoPool(): Object 0x30f600 of class NSCFString autoreleased with no pool in place - just leaking
    I haven't written the MemoryAccess class, nor is present within my threaded code. I suspect that threading my process may lead to something unwanted within various threads? I'm not sure about that.
    The question is: how to find where this class is missing of NSAutoreleasePools?
    This is my actual code:
    mainLoop evocation:
    NSAutoreleasePool *mainLoopPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    [NSThread detachNewThreadSelector:@selector(mainLoop) toTarget:self withObject:nil];
    [mainLoopPool release];
    mainLoop method:
    - (void) mainLoop {
    int nLoop = LOOP_NULL;
    NSAutoreleasePool *subLoopPool;
    while (/* loop conditions */) {
    subLoopPool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];
    if(nLoop != LOOP_EVENT1 && /* event1 conditions */) {
    NSLog(@"LOOP: Entering event1 Loop");
    nLoop = LOOP_EVENT1;
    [self performSelector:@selector(event1Loop) onThread:[NSThread currentThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
    else if(nLoop != LOOP_EVENT2 && /* event2 conditions */) {
    NSLog(@"LOOP: Entering event2 Loop");
    nLoop = LOOP_EVENT2;
    [self performSelector:@selector(event2Loop) onThread:[NSThread currentThread] withObject:nil waitUntilDone:YES];
    [subLoopPool release];
    [subLoopPool release];
    For now event1/2Loop methods are just infinite while cycles with no functions evocated in but the conditional ones.
    After a while the program crashes due to
    Thread 0 Crashed: Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread
    0 libobjc.A.dylib 0x93720ed7 objc_msgSend + 23
    1 com.apple.CoreFoundation 0x967f50ed _CFAutoreleasePoolPop + 253
    There are something like 20 autoreleasepool errors, then the log "LOOP: Entering event1 loop"
    Thanks.

  • In Firefox 3.6.10 I was able to go forward and backwards between pages without the page defaulting to the top of the page. Is there any way to prevent the page from automatically moving to the top when using the forwards and back buttons in Firefox Four?

    I like to be able to navigate backwards and forwards without having to scroll down and find where I was previously. In Firefox Four, when using the forwards and back buttons, the page will automatically return to the top of the page. Is there any way to change this setting in Firefox Four to prevent it from doing that?

    Thanks for the response. No Time Machine, but I probably have a backup from a few months ago on an external hard drive. :/ I guess it'd have useful history, but not if it overwrote the last 3 months or so of Awesome Bar, that might not be so great.

  • Is there a way to prevent the ringtone from playing through my headphones when listenting to music?

    I am exceedingly concerned about my hearing, so when listening to music through my headphones, I always turn the volume down. However, when I receive a call, the ringtone, which is works on a separate volume control from the music and other apps, rings at its normal volume - even if the phone is set to silent. I find this exceedingly troublesome as I have to lower the ringtone volume when I'm using my headphones as well and turn it back up when I'm done.
    Is there a way to stop this? If I deliberately set the phone to silent, shouldn't the ringtone be silenced, regardless of whether I have the headphones plugged in or not?
