Itunes with iphoto slideshow

Having produced a slideshow with iphoto I am trying to set a song with the slideshow. I click 'music' and the itunes folder shows up but I can only select from a playlist rather than the library of individual songs. I know that I could do this in the past but can't figure out how I did it. I have Iphoto 6.06 and itunes 7.32

You can easily create a slide show with music of your choice using the freeware Mike's Thumbnailer @ http://homepage.mac.com/mdewalt/iWeb/Site/Thumb-Applications.html

I am having difficulties with iPhoto slideshow. The slide show stops in the middle of a presentation and the system crashes. I must power off to exit the app and restart my MacBook pro.

Wow. Okay...
I'll let the real veterans in this forum tackle your issues one after the other. But, I can tell you, all will be well.
My only comment would be re: your computer specs:

To be completely honest, FCPX is a RAM hog. It just is. But, RAM is relatively cheap, and the pay-off is good.
4GB is right on the edge, IMHO. 16G is ideal.
I wish you luck, hang in there, and standby for more help.

ITunes No Longer Working With iPhoto Slideshow

I'm not certain, but as I can no longer play music from my iTunes Library along with an iPhoto Slideshow, I think this is related to the new 7.7 iTunes update.
My iPhoto by the way, is the last version - 6.0.6.
Has anyone else noticed a new-found inability to have songs in your iTunes Library accompany an iPhoto Slideshow? And better still - how can this be fixed?
Thanks kindly,
john

I just discovered that after the iTunes update and the Lion update, my iTunes wouldn't update anything except what was in the library already. New songs, apps, movies all equaled bupkiss. I went into advanced settings and saw that my library location was blank. I'm using an external drive for my music. So there's a bug, since it would play everything thing in the library but was unsure where the library was so that it could write to it. I just relocated my media drive and now sharing and updating the library works fine.

No sound with iPhoto slideshow since Mavericks

Since the update to Mavericks I have no sound anymore during the slide shows I made with iPhoto.
Can anyone tell me why this is? iTunes works normally and I can play music also with AppleTV.
Thanks.

Hiya,
Had a quick look and found this thread, it seems to resolve the issue (hopefully!).
I haven't tried viewing slideshows in my iTunes yet, hopefully I'll be OK:)

Audio problems with iphoto slideshow

hi there,
i made a 9 minute photo slideshow in itunes synched to 2 songs (one directly after the other). then i wanted to post it online (facebook, youtube, etc) for my friends and family to see. BUT, when i do so, the second song does not play even though the slideshow of pictures continues.
both songs play in the iphoto slideshow and on the exported .mov file in quicktime when you watch them. this problem only occurs when posting it online and then watching that posted file online.
any ideas why these sites arent recognizing that there is a second song that follows the first?
thanks a lot...
ry.

ry:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You did select just the playlist and not the track in the playlist, right? Are any of the tracks from the iTunes store and are you running the latest Quicktime?
Do you Twango?
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.

I need help with iPhoto slideshow. I can't "save" changes. Particularly the rotate feature. I rotate a photo 90 degrees... and the next time I play it...it's back to original. Sideways! Very frustrating.

How do I save changes on iPhoto slideshow. I rotate a photo... then it reverts back to original (sideways) next time it plays.

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
is your slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?
what theme are you using?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Itunes with iphoto event problem

Hi. i really need help here. I have the same problem with my ipad & iphone so it's either a problem with itunes or iphoto. everything looks great in iphoto but when i open itunes and go to the photo tab it all looks mad. My events have been duplicated several times !! eg.. i've got a wedding event with 200 pic in. Now it looks like wedding ( 2 pics )    school    wedding (5)   wedding (2) etc etc.. I've tried to delete the cache but it still looks like this.. How do i delete the events in itunes and start again ? is this a bug? Darren

Looks like I am not alone.
I thought I had it fixed for a moment, I trashed the com.apple.iPod.plist & tried other advice I have found here but after a sync to an iPod the problem came back. Sync'ing an iPad was fair but two iPhones (3GS & 4) saw the same problem arise so I tried the iPad again and the problem haunted me yet again.
I noticed this happen since the last iTunes update 10.2.2.
Somewhere here I noticed if you re-sort your iPhoto events it helps only once, any further sync'ing has no effect - the problem persists. The issue seems to worsen, events cannot be selected under the Photos tab in iTunes for any device.   When I managed to get the Pad to sync a few events I noticed the sort order was completely random, I should have left well enough alone (at least they were showing) but try as I did to get a sensible order failed completely when I sync'd the pad a second time.
Temporarily I have created Albums in iPhoto to maintain some images on my phone, pod & pad.   They seem to function as best they can but the steps iTunes requires to optimize and sync several thousand photos makes this a VERY long process.

Itunes music will not connect with iPhoto slideshows

running osx 10.7.5, iphoto 11 - 9.4.2, itunes 11.0.2
itunes music does not populate when setting music to slideshow. Used to work. Worked with help menu but didn't resolve.

Have you had a look here,

I can't get iTunes into iPhoto Slideshow.

Macbook Pro 13" OS Lion 10.7.3
Iphoto 11 version 9.2.1
Itunes 10 version 10.5.3
When I go to make a slideshow in iphoto from an album and I try to change my music to my playlist it just tells me to open Itunes so it can populate the list. I tunes is open! It has worked before, but not now. I have tried to do this in iMovie as well and it says the same thing.
Any suggestions?

This problem is typically from a defected or broken XML file in the Music library folder. In order to fix this, go to: ~/Music/iTunes/iTunes Library.xml
Either delete this file (Move it the trash) or move it to the desktop. Either way, iTunes will have to recreate it. First, of course, QUIT iTUNES!
If an error occurs (which is likely, because it is a broken file) and you cannot move or delete it, try deleting it with the Terminal.
Be very careful not to delete the wrong file. The Terminal doesn't simply move the file to the trash, it DELETES IT. Here is what you need to do for this:
     Open up a new Shell and type: rm -rf
     Then, to eliminate confusion or accidents, just drag the file to the shell and the exact path will appear after it.
     Voila! It should be deleted.
Then, go ahead and open up iTunes. Rename a song or something and the iTunes Library will recreate the iTunes Library.xml file.
This works the same for just about any iLife application! If there is a problem accessing anything in the Media Browser, find the Library.xml file and delete it, then force the application to recreate a fresh, unbroken copy.
Hope this helps!

MacBook - problems with iPhoto slideshow music

Just got my brand new MacBook today and imported everything from old PowerBook. However now that I am trying to play a slideshow in iPhoto, the music to it will not play. Yet it will play in iTunes app itself, but not within the slideshow in iPhoto? Have downloaded all upgrades but still not working. Anyone got any suggestions? Thanks!

Apologies! It is now working just fine. I had forgotten to run Disk Utility Repair Permissions. It's been a long day setting up the new MacBook and my brain is addled!

Using Music with iPhoto Slideshow

I can not access my music library when creating a slideshow. All I get is the default cheezy guitar music. Is there an easy answer to this? Thanks

Can you access your music in other apps? iMovie, for instance?

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.

Is there a way to edit music from itunes to use in an iphoto slideshow

I would like to use a section of a song for a slideshow I am making, but only want to use part of the song. Is there a way to edit the song? If so, how do I do this?

Christine:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Not with iTunes or iPhoto. You can edit a track in iTunes to play only a selected portion but that editing does not carry over to use in iPhoto.
You can use a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus Pro to select the portion of the track you want to use and create a new file with it. Import the new file into iTunes and use in iPhoto. Some users have suggested using Garageband if you've installed it. It takes up too much disk space for me and I prefer using Amadeus Pro.
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.

IPhoto slideshows will no longer play songs from iTunes since I upgraded to Mavericks. In fact trying to use a song from iTunes crashes iPhoto. Any suggestions?

Having a lot of problems with iPhoto since upgrading to Mavericks. Wondering if there's not enough memory in my version (I was unable to update iMovie because my system is incompatible with the new version.) A slideshow will play but silently even though there appears to be a song from iTunes attached. Two songs where I've had this problem were not purchased from iTunes but downloaded from personal CDs. Very frustrating as I simply cannot figure it out. And getting direct help from Apple either via Chat or Phone has become near impossible as you try to wade through the roadblocks of links upon links. I tried to create a new slideshow and pull in songs but the same thing happened. The aforementioned songs play OK on my iPad just not on myiMac - it's a 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, so aging not well perhaps! Any ideas welcome.

OK, answering my own question..well, via Arleen 259 and Old Toad apparently courtesy of keysandfood! (Copy of Old Toad post below. Thanks to all...IT WORKED!
In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.
