Lightroom 3 - Music folder on slideshow

I'd like to can choose a music folder in slideshow option as in older
version (LR2.7).

If the XP box can read the file system, then it should work.

  • Lightroom 3 Slideshow - no music folder

    Hi does anyone know why the music folder is now gone???  I can see what Adobe are trying to do with fit music to
    pictures, but what do you do if you have a wedding client sat in front of you with 300-400 edited images???
    In Lightroom 2 we simply put a number of 'wedding' type songs in a folder and played their images of their day?
    Lightroom 3 is a disaster for us if this is no longer available...
    Can anyone help???
    Cheers

    Hi John, I agree, this is the only bit missing for us now.
    We never used LR and iTunes together, I mean with folders and files, we always created new folders with music inside.
    In LR2 we used to have a couple of folders with different music in it, depends on age of client etc, what shoot it was etc, so it was easy to watch their images here in our office and quickly choose the correct folder that suited them.  Now it is way more complicated.
    We have just had a wedding couple in and we used LR2 to show them their pics, how sad that we use LR3 to edit and LR2 for display, I hope Adobe correct this.
    Cheers

    Running Lightroom 6 on Windows machine (after having upgraded from LR5... While attempting to add or change music in the Slideshow module, LR unexpectedly quits.  After several attempts at this, LR6 won't even launch properly...shows the splash screen but that's it.  The program is buggy...need an update/revision quickly!!

    If you're on Windows, check out a free program called Audacity--it's fantastic.  With Audacity the process of converting a 48.000 kHz to 44.100 kHz is as simply as opening, changing the sample rate, and then exporting again, as an MP3.

    Try resetting your SMC and NVRAM before attempting to install again.
    Resetting the NVRAM/PRAM
    Note: This will not delete any data.
    The NVRAM/PRAM stores information such as speaker volume, screen resolution, startup disk selection, and recent kernel panic information (if any). You should reset the NVRAM/PRAM if you experience issues relating to these functions.

    Select Shut Down or allow the computer to shut down automatically.
    Turn on the computer by pressing the Power Button.
    On the built-in keyboard, press and hold the Command (⌘), Option (⌥), P, and R keys before the gray screen appears.

  • I have a large music collection in My Music which is where my Itunes music is.  I use Itunes match now and possibly it is what is causing my problems but can't be sure.  I keep getting a new My Music folder when I go into itunes so I have 2. what can I do

    Hi.  I have a very large my music folder on my C drive.  This is were all of my music is including itunes.  However, when I go into itunes, it sets up a new my music folder. If I erase the new folder, it comes back the next time I go into itunes.  It is just a very small folder vs. the large 132 GB file named My Music.  What is this new one and why does it keep getting generated vs. Itunes just using the large My Music folder that has all my music.  The small My Music it creates is 134 MB.  Does this have something to do with using Icloud and Itunes Match?  I find it confusing to have two my music folders. 

    Final Cut is a separate, higher end video editor.  The pro version of iMovie.
    Give iPhoto a look at for creating the slideshow.  It's easy to assemble the photos in an album in iPhoto, put them in the order you want and then make a slideshow of them.  You can select from various themes and transitions between slides and add music from your iTunes library.
    When you have the slidshow as you want use the Export button at the bottom of the iPhoto window and export with Size = Medium or Large.
    Save the resulting Quicktime movie file in your Movies folder.
    Next, open iDVD, choose your theme and drag the QT movie file into the menu window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    Then follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty 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.
    The reason I suggest iPhoto is that I find it much easier to use than iMovie (except for the older iMovie 6 HD version).  Personal preferences showing here.

  • Problems accessing Music Files in Slideshow module in LR 2.6 and Windows 7 64 bit

         Just got new computer 64 bit Windows 7.  Installed LR 2.6 and am having problem with slideshow and music.  Never had this problem before with my XP computer.  When I open up slideshow module and go to Playback window and check soundtrack and try to choose a music folder, I have a new problem.  It opens up "Browse for Files & Folders" dialog box as usual, but it only lets me browse on my desktop or my User name on the C drive.  My music is in my F drive where my data is stored.  I've never had a problem accessing my music in my F drive in my XP computer, but this setup limits where I can browse to.  Interesetingly, this works OK in LR 3 beta on this WIndows 7 PC where it opens up a dialog box "Choose a music file to play" which gives me access to all my drives.  In summary, I can't access music files stored on a drive other than my C drive using LR 2.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
         I have attached a screen shot to compare the new Windows 7 Browse for Files & Folders dialog box to that in my XP computer.
         Would appreciate any suggestions.
    Thanks,
    Matthew Kraus

    Thanks for the reply.  I went through the process you suggested to change Ownership  & grant permission to access files.  When I get to the owner tab in Advanced Security Settings....I am already the current owner of this folder.
    What do I do now?
    Thanks,

  • 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.

  • Can't open Sample Music folder or see track in Library

    iPhoto 6.0.6
    1. Selected a slideshow from the Source pane.
    2. Clicked on the Music icon, on the right side, on lower tool bar.
    3. A menu drops down with a Sample Music folder first on the list.
    Followed by Garage Band and iTunes. Play music during slideshow is checked.
    4. Select Sample Music, 11 items appears next to the Search window.
    5. Select Play icon next to search window and a guitar selection plays.
    6. How can I see the list of 11 sample songs to make a selection other than that guitar song?
    7. Click on Library under iTunes.
    8. 133 items appears next to the search box.
    9. Can't figure out how to see the tracks in the Library.
    All the Playlists appear and are selectable.
    10. Double clicking on Sample Music or Library has no effect.
    What am I not understanding about selecting a song to play with a slideshow?

    Skiziks:
    In the Music pane there should be a dimple at the bottom of the window where you see the albums, etc. Click and drag it up to open the pane where the individual tracks can be viewed.

    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Sample Music folder empty

    In Iphoto 6 slideshows, I had sample music to choose from. I had slideshows set up using that music. I deleted one of my slideshows and when I go into any remaining slideshows, or create a new one there are no items to choose from in my sample music folder. My old slideshows use the music that was selected when they were created, but there is no music listed in the sample music folder. I see the folder icon, but it appears to be empty. Is there a way to reload the sample music folder with the original default music? I looked in the trash and it is not there. I tried closing and reopening iphoto and no luck. Any suggestions?

    Your hardri've may be failing. Did you do the Cleanup.Reboot on the player? If you haven't do so. Also be aware that you may not be able to retrieve the files on there. You can find how to access Recovery Mode for the cleanup here & don't meddle with the firmware option

  • Where is the "Sample Music" folder from iPhoto located?

    Please help me find this folder, I don't know where in my hard drive it might be.
    Thank you.

    It's located in the iPhoto (the application)/Contents/Resources/Music folder.

  • 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

  • Re: Why can I not assign specific music to a slideshow?

    I thought that I had tried everything, until I came across this Thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446667&tstart=0
    It was just the simple-dimple problem and once I followed the lori steps, I "found" the library music.
    So simple. So dumb.
    Thank You Very Much!
    Respectfully,
    Bill Gallagher
    Oh, is there any way to find the default music that comes w/slideshow. I'd like to use it in an iTunes folder together w/another song, as the default tune is too short. I know I have to put them both in the same folder/album, but I can't find that default music?
    Ok, found it. It's called "Acoustic Sunrise.aif" (yeah, I know it's lame but it fits in well with the first part of my slideshow), but I can't get to it. Any advice would be appreciated. Path='/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Jingles

    Bill:
    The default music is located in the iPhoto (application package)/Contents/Resources/Music folder. You open the iPhoto package by Control-clicking on the application and selecting "Show package contents" from the Contextual menu. You can add tracks to that folder is you want a different default song.

  • Background music option in slideshow has ceased to work in iPhoto

    I have followed the instructions in the "Setting slideshow options" page to the letter and am unable to hear or prelisten to background music for a slideshow from within iPhoto. I have no problem seeing my iTunes library from within iPhoto and the music I am selecting is not protected. This functionality used to work in iPhoto and I can listen to music directly in iTunes (not a hardware issue). The symptoms are that the slideshow starts as if no background music has been selected (it has of course). I have updated to iPhoto 6.0.5, I'm running iTunes 7.0.2 and I have all OS (10.4.8) and firmware updates on this MacBook Pro. I am starting to think that this functionality stopped working as a result of updating Mac software but I'm ready for something more obvious. Anyone had the same problem? Can anyone please help?

    Jed:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Did you repair disk permissions after each of the updater were run? It's important that it be done after any software installation or update. I'd give it another go and see if that helps. Also Terence's question regarding Quicktime is important.

  • Setting music without using slideshows

    Hi there
    I am not using slideshows in iphoto, instead the picutres are organized in folders which i can then select in front row, ...
    front row/iphoto play some standard tune when you watch the pictures. can the song be changed? reading the various posts it seems one can assign track from itunes to slideshows but can i select the music without creating slideshows?
    thanks,
    Chris

    chrischb:
    Yes you can change or add to the standard tracks. They are located in the iPhoto/Contents/Resources/Music folder. You can get inside the iPhoto application package by Control-clicking on iPHoto and selecting Show Package Contents. Then when you find the Music folder, you can put in the music files you'd like to use.

  • IPhoto '08 (7.1)  Freezes when Clicking "Music" Icon for Slideshow

    When I try to add music to a slideshow, iPhoto freezes up when clicking the Music icon. How to make it work again (it worked fine before the upgrade).

    Monique:
    It actually not frozen, just as slow as molassas on an iceberg. It's a result of this last update, iLife Support 8.1. It may take up to 30 seconds but the slideshow pane will eventually open and you can set your options.
    Be sure to report this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports on this subject the more likely they will get a fix out quickly.
    A similar slowness is in accessing the preferences in iPhoto for many.
