Lightroom 5 Slideshow doesn't render on MacBookPro?

I have a MacBookPro 2,2 laptop and can use most other modules without difficulty, but when I try to create a slideshow, the program starts to render the first slide and then stops, leaving me with a black screen.

I was using the trial version, which recently ran out. Loved the software, so a couple of hours ago I purchased a standard license via download from Amazon.
Amazon sent me what appears to be a valid license key (6 groups of 4 digits). But Lightroom will not accept the key, with the exact same error message as you in your post.
I've sent Amazon an email message. Meanwhile, I have phoned Adobe Support...and I have been on hold for over an hour, without being able to speak to a live support agent. Your phone sucks, Adobe.
I wonder if something's gone wrong with their licensing/validation system.
Adobe?

Jeannine,
If you follow the advice of the previous poster Julie Kmoch and then gradualy add presets back in one at a time you might be able to find the one that is causing the issue. I may be guessing, but I believe the issue has something to do with either an incompatible Preset setting (eg a older preset in newer version of LR) or a corrupt Preset.
Say you bought LR2 and imported a bunch of Presets from the internet, cuz 'Hey these effects are cool and I don't have to recreate the wheel', and then you upgraded to LR3 (not a clean install) and now one of the Presets that calls a certain slider setting or value that is different in LR3 doesn't work anymore. This might be why it throws the error, but again I am just speculating.
Location of LR Preset folder in Windows Vista/ Windows 7
C:/Users/<YourUserName>/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Lightroom/Develop Presets
If you do not see the folder AppData, you may need to change the settings in Windows Explorer to 'Show Hidden Files and Folders'. To do that in Windows Vista/ Windows 7, open a Windows Explorer window, Click on Organize, then Foler and Search Options. Then click on the View tab and select the option button next to Show hidden files, folders and drives.
Hope this helps a bit,
Glenn

I have no sound on a Lightroom slideshow.

I have no sound on a Lightroom slideshow. Sometimes it works then the next time it doesn't. Even using the same track. I am using MP3 files. whats going on?

I'm having a similar issue. Using Lightroom ver. 5.7 In the slideshow module with the audio option checked, it allows me to select a mp3 file for background music - then says the file is an unsupported format. Result: no sound in preview or playback.
So is there a fix or what?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Is there a way to create a pan and zoom effect in a lightroom slideshow?

Nope. Be a great feature. For that I use FotoMagico after exporting JPEG's from LR.

Lightroom trial doesn't show complete menu selections or import button. Also get error message on launch: An error occurred when attempting to change modules. I am unable to find/see the following file to try renaming the SLCache and SLStore files: System Library/Application Support/Adobe. Any ideas? I only have 16 days left on the trial and have been unable to get it to work on my Macbook Pro. This is all I am seeing after Lightroom opens. Thanks!

Thanks to both of you for attempting to help. I finally figured out what was wrong . . . it was a Permissions problem. Very frustrating, but after scouring the troubleshooting tips I finally found the one that solved my problem. I had to add a User and give it Read/Write privileges to Lightroom. The file I had to add the User to was Hidden on my Mac, so that added an even bigger challenge to the mystery. Only a few days left on my trial version! I hope I have time to try it out!

PDF Generated doesn't render on other PDF Viewer

This is my first time on the forum, so pardon me if this posting is on the wrong category. I have a question regarding the PDF output of my generated PDF. I have created a PDF using the LiveCycle webservices and everything is working perfectly, the only problem I have is that when I try to view the PDF on other viewer other than Adobe Acrobat it doesn't render. Can anyone tell me what can I do so that the PDF I created can be view on other viewer other than Acrobat. Thanks for your time and help.

Hi,
What viewer are you trying to open the pdf in? Check the version of pdf you are converting to in the conversion settings. Maybe the viewer is too old for that version.
Maybe you could post a sample pdf?

Embed Lightroom Slideshow in Activerain Blog

I've been trying (in vain) to embed a Lightroom slideshow into my activerain blog here:
http://activerain.com/blogsview/658980/Homes-Near-Peterson-and
The slideshow should be in that big blank white space near the bottom of the post. I'm hosting the slideshow files on another site (where I've uploaded the crossdomain.xml file on the main root allowing flash access as well as ftping the files directly from Lightroom using the "Upload" function.) I can't for the life of me figure out the code I should be using to embed the slideshow into the blog. Iframes are callowed...and other blogs use slideshows as well (from slide.com, picasa, etc.)
Any help here is greatly appreciated. Thanks for taking the time to help me out!!

Sorry for the bump. Anyone with ideas? please??

Lightroom Slideshow: output AVCHD files (Panasonic, Sony)?

Slideshow seems to have only two output formats: MP4 and .pdf. Panasonic flatscreens, for one, will not play these formats. They require AVCHD files. How can I get from Lightroom Slideshow to this format?

Thanks for your reply. What I meant was the workflow I have delveloped with the client to provide a quicktime file for their use on their end is what has been proven.
The whole reason I started this thread was hoping someone had a NEW WORKFLOW that would allow me to do this.
I have hundreds of clips I have produced for this client that utilze the Animation codec at 100% at a small fraction of the size. In fact I have one clip that is 46 minutes in duration 1920 X 1080 60 FPS using QT Animation codec at 100% and the file is 40 GB. The difference being the source files which were shot with a different camera in DVCPRO HD format.
So if what you're saying is I should expect an 8 minute clip to be 80 GB I'm a bit lost.
Anyway thanks for your reply hopefully someone has some helpful advise. I'm not here to argue with anyone or to be proven wrong, I'm just looking for help.
I'll continue to seach for other options. Thanks to all who have responded.

Lightroom Slideshow - long delay to generate all previews

Lightroom Slideshow - Is there a way for the slideshow to start after the first preview has been generated? Why do all the previews have to be delayed before the first is even shown?

Adobe had problems with overlapped slideshow (showing slideshow while previews generating) and decided to "punt" (generate all previews prior to starting the slideshow).
A step backwards to be sure.
But note: slideshow is using ordinary library previews, so if you are diligent to build after editing, then slideshows start faster.
Sorry, but it's not my fault .

See the above discussion. I believe (but to be honest, I am no expert. I am trying to figure out a different, but related question) that you can reformat your iPod to the FAT32 system on your PC, then go back to your Mac, use it as a hard drive, and transfer your songs to your PC that way. Once in the FAT32 format both PCs and Macs will read the iPod disk.

Lightroom Slideshow - Show Filenames

I may just be missing it, but being new to Lightroom, I'm getting my first presentation ready and want to use the Lightroom Slideshow feature. I can't find how to allow the filenames to show with each slide.
I need this as a means of identification for the client.
What am I missing????
Thanks,
Jim.....

Ensure that you have the Tool bar activated in the Sideshow module. (Tap the T key.)
On the Tool bar you should see an ABC icon that will allow text to be added to the slide. Click it to reveal a text box, then click the Title drop menu. In the drop list click Edit. A dialog box will allow choosing a filename.
The resulting text can be repositioned anywhere in the slide area.

Lightroom Slideshow behave strangely when changing star rating.

Hi there,
I am having issues with Lightroom Slideshow when in Manual Mode and filter is on.
When I try and do a manual slideshow and I have filters on "Rating" = ** and I try and change an image to a "*" or a "***" then the slildeshow starts acting weird i.e. it will start showing images randomly on its own. I have to cancel the slideshow and restart. This is easy to reproduce.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You can use star ratings whether the dots are there or not. Try keys 0-5.
Anyway, the View/Grid view style/Show extras menu item will re-instate the star field on your thumbnails.

Illustrator CC doesn't render in real time (only when I scroll), how do I fix this?

It seems to have happened ever since I opened a PDF in Illustrator. A few errors came up but I didn't imagine it would result in permanently messing up the program.
It still works, but it doesn't render and changes I make until I scroll. I can't see what I'm working on as I work on it. Even if I zoom in or out, nothing on-screen changes except when I scroll.
If someone could help me figure this out, I'd appreciate it immensely.

Visocacae,
Are all the Verdana (and Tahoma) font faces installed and enabled as TTF (not OTF)?

Settting render attribute doesn't render the child taskflow

i am having 2 taskflows which is consumed by a consuming page.
On the consuming page on which these 2 taskflows are dropped as region.
the 2 regions are placed along with some buttons inside separate panelGroupLayouts.
i mean in 1 panelGroupLayout 1 region and button is there and similarly in 2nd panaleGroupLayout other regin and button.
On consuming page there is next button , i have set it to render 1st panelGroupLayout.
when i click Next button it renders the 1st region and buttons correctly. But when i click the back button from the 1st region and come back to consuming page and again click NEXT button, it remains at the same consuming page
and doesn't render the region 1 and its buttons again.
in code, on the 1st panelGroupLayout i have put rendered="a variable in backingbean of consuming page which i am setting to true on the next button click event".
Please help in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

user, please tell us your jdev version!
it you yet the rendered property to false you have to do a full refresh to get the region back. Use the visible property instead.
