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.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • 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.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • How to access iTunes playlist for iPhoto slideshow?

    In iPhoto 6 when I am setting up a slideshow and click the "Music" button, I am given the option of accessing my full library from iTunes, but my Playlists don't show up anywhere, just the artists' names and individual songs,so I am able to choose just one song for an entire slideshow. How can I access my playlists in the Music settings for iPhoto slideshows?

    I have the same problem, I click the arrows and the list drops but I can only select first tune from , sample, garage band, or library. This happens every time I install an update. In the past deleting iTunes playlist has cured the problem but has not worked this time.

  • Can't see my iTunes library when selecting background music for a slideshow

    I don't see my iTunes library when I'm selecting background music for a slideshow -- I have tried using iphoto help (seee below) and it didn't work:
    "If you don't see your iTunes library:
    Quit both iTunes and iPhoto. Relaunch iTunes first, then iPhoto.
    If you recently installed iLife software, it's a good idea to open each application in the following order: iTunes, iPhoto, iMovie, and then iDVD. Because these applications are integrated to browse and import files from each other's media libraries, this ensures that you will be viewing the most up-to-date versions of your music library, photo library, and movies folder no matter what application you're using.
    Recreate your iTunes Music Library.xml file. Quit iPhoto, iMovie, iDVD, and iTunes. Click the Finder icon in the Dock, and choose Go > Go to Folder. Type "~/Music/iTunes" or "~/Documents/iTunes" and click Go. Drag the "iTunes Music Library.xml" file to your desktop. Open iTunes and create a new playlist by choosing File > New Playlist. Quit iTunes and open iPhoto to make sure you can see your iTunes library when creating a slideshow."
    Any suggestions?

    MacBook1,1   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   versions: itunes 7.0.2 (15) iphoto 6.0.5 (316)

    I have this problem also - tried following advice giving from original problem.
    My settings are through the what I call the Lug Nut icon - no arrows and no dimple showing on my screen.
    Is there some small thing I'm missing here - weird thing is that iDVD allows me to access my iTunes library - no problem.
    When I go to Finder it tells it can't find my Music folder??? I can see it in the sidebar .....
    Any suggestions - I don't know how to send those screen shots but what a great idea.

  • I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it?

    I have a MacBook Air and recently downloaded the new operating system, 10.10 OSX Yosemite. Since that time, I am no longer able to access my personal ITunes library to add music to IPhoto slideshows.  I put I tunes library on my desktop, as suggested. How do I drag it to the I Photo slideshow?

    That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
    Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots  and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

  • How do I use itune music for creating photo DVDs with music in adobe element 10?

    How do I use/transfer itune music for DVDs with music in adobe elements premier? 

    On each computer:
    Open iTunes. Select Preferences from the iTunes menu and click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. At the top you will see a box showing the path to your iTunes library. Click on the Change button, navigate to the location for the library on your external drive, select it and click on the Open button. Note this permanently changes the library's location on that computer. That means you cannot access your music unless the external drive is connected.
    If you don't want a permanent change, then press the OPTION key and hold it down while you launch iTunes. iTunes will then prompt you to select the library you wish to open for that session.

  • LR Crashes when I select music for a Slideshow!

    Since I upgraded to Yosemite on my MacPro, whenever I try to select music for a slideshow, the app crashes.  Has anyone else had this problem?

    Hi there,
    I'm facing the same problem here.
    I cant's say for sure if this was a problem before updated to Yosemite ... I have not used this function at all.
    I'm using Lightroom since LR3 and was forced to change to LR4 because of the new camera ... in the meantime I'm on LR5 and quite ok with it.
    Why is noone of Adobe answering here?
    How can a community find out what's wrong with the software?
    I know I have found the chat button once ... but now? Gone?
    Cheers

  • HT203167 I've downloaded Itunes music for nearly 10 years on multiple computers, however, I've noticed that I can't access music that I purchased on some of the older computers. Can this problem be fixed?

    I've downloaded Itunes music for nearly 10 years on multiple computers, however, I've noticed that I can't access previously purchased music from some of the older computers. Can all of my Itunes purchases be consolidated?

    Hello, ted_marx38. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    The most common cause for this issue would be media present that is purchased with another Apple ID.  When prompted to authorize the computer it may show a different Apple ID.  If this is the case, the computer will need to be authorized for this Apple ID.  The article below will walk you through the process of verifying if that is the case or correcting the issue if not.

  • I can't import a song from iTunes to an iPhoto slideshow.

    I'm trying to import a song as background music in a slideshow, and the song plays just fine in iTunes, but when I try to add it to my slideshow, I get the message "The (name of song) could not be used because the original file could not be located."  How can it play in iTunes, but not in iPhoto?  I tried "Get Info" to see where the original file was kept and then dragged it into the iTunes music folder, but that didn't work.  I've never had this happen with any other song. Does anyone have a solution for this?

    I don't build slide shows, so not sure how hard it is to do in iDVD, but you can burn a song to CD and then rip it back into iTunes. Then you can edit the song in Garage Band. You might want to do this with a number of songs that you might use in one sitting, as it's pretty tedious.
    One other thought: check if Amazon has the mp3 of the same song. The content there is not protected (I think the music producers cut that deal just to stick it to Apple) and is $0.99 per song like on iTunes. Might be worth another buck to avoid all this hassle. iTunes is easier to search and buy from (IMO) and has a better selection, but you might get lucky at Amazon. I've ended up buying the same song again at Amazon just for this reason.

  • Listening to iTunes while watching iPhoto slideshow

    Hello,
    Does anyone know if it is possible when activating a slideshow via FrontRow in iPhoto to keep the current music on iTunes playing without interuption?
    Currently if iTunes is playing and a slideshow is started the music will stop (I have music disabled in the slideshow preferences).
    When creating a slideshow-on-the-fly, the music does play without interuption, but the slideshow settings are always defaulted back to Apple's settings.
    I use iTunes to play background music in my studio, then download the photos and run a slideshow via FrontRow for my clients, but it is a bit jarring to have the background music stop all of a sudden.
    TIA
    Powerbook 15 Superdrive 1.25G Mac OS X (10.3.9)

    Lawrence:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. It works for me. I set up the slide show, selected "Repeat Music during slideshow" in the main settings pane and then unchecked "Play Music" in the Music settings pane. I started iTunes and then the slideshow and all went well.

  • Music from iPhoto slideshow not making it to iDVD

    Hi - newbie at iDVD - got a nice slideshow on iPhoto - music, Ken Burns effect,....nice!
    Exported to iDVD, one song burns to disc, others don't. All from same source. Am I doing something wrong??

    Welcome to the forums.
    This version of iDVD can choke on some music files. I assume you're using an iTunes album to collect all your songs for iPhoto. A workaround for your problem is to export your playlist from iTunes to CD and then import back into iTunes, but use the Advanced menu to Join CD Tracks so the songs come back as a single file.

  • How do I use only a portion of a song in my iTunes in my iPhoto slideshow?

    I already tried making the song shorter in iTunes by using the start and stop options and it does indeed make the song shorter in iTunes, but when I choose the song within iPhoto, the slideshow uses the long version of the song. What do I need to do to just use like a minute of the song in the slideshow?

    The settings you use to play in iTunes do not get retained in other apps. What you can do is open Garage Band, drag the song from iTunes into a GB track, then edit the song as you like. You can even adjust the fade in/out exactly to the length and duration you want. When the song is trimmed, Share to iTunes, where it will become a separate song. Select that for your slideshow, or place it in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist for your slideshow.
    Regards.

  • How can I add iTunes music to a slideshow I am making and share?

    Hi, I am making a slideshow for my daughter's birthday and when I go to add music to it, it does not let me. How can I do this? Thanks for any help! Plumgirl11

    Plumgirl,
    Use the PowerPoint command Insert > Audio > Audio from file, and navigate to where the audio file is located.
    If you don't know where the file is located, right-click the track in iTunes and choose Show in Windows Explorer.
    Make sure the song you want to use is in MP3 format.  If it is in something else, make an MP3 version, per this document:

  • Problem using itunes music in iphoto slide show

    When creating a slide show with iPhoto, I cannot use my iTunes music anymore. I can see the list in the music window settings but there is no way to get access to it, either by directly double clicking on the title or by creating a dedicated playlist to the slide show.
    Thisproblem seems to have happen after one of the updates of either OSX, iphoto or itunes as I have been using that feature previously and it did work well.
    Anybody facing the same problem?
    Thanks

    Can you see your iTunes library in other aoolications, for example in Mail, when you try to send an audio attachment?

    Quit iTunes and relaunch it.
    Quit iPhoto and relaunch it.
