Made a slide show and cannot get my music to play on it?

I made a new slide show on my Macbook Pro iphoto (running iphoto '11-- 9.4.2) and I clicked down at the bottom to add my music to the slide show.. I can see how to direct it to my itunes library. I chose an album. Clicked "choose." But then when I play the slide show I hear soem stupid default music that has nothing to do with anything..?
Also I could settle with one album off of my itunes, but I saw that I could customize the playlist on that pop up thing and then I put basically two albums in there.. But it did not seem to remember the custom playlist.. Even though I hit "choose" which I think would make it select and remember what I had entered..??
What to do? Specifics are very helpful on what I click and where it is, if possible.. 
Thanks

  • I've put together a slide show and cannot get it on You tube.  I've put the presentation together in Iphoto, then sent it to ITune and I cannot get Youtube to accept it.  On the upload page, Youtube even says just drag and drop. That didn't work.  Help!

    To repeat my problem, I've put together a slide presentation and am trying to get it on Youtube...have compiled photos and music under IPhoto, then moved it to ITunes to dump into YouTube, but can't get anything to go thru.  Have submitted two previous slideshows and don't remember ever having this probem.  Am sure I'm doing something wrong.  Anyone have suggestion(s) as to how to get this on to Youtube.  Have been stonewalled for the last two hours.  Thank You.

    Sanjam....you are having the identical problem I'm having.  Re the response to your dilemma, I'm gonna see if there is a way to export.  If I figure something out to get on YouTube will let you know and would appreiate you doing the same.

  • I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:

    I am trying to add music to my slide show and I get this error:  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed.  I went to the Adobe site and downloaded a codec program, and restarted but still got the same error.  Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thank you - I followed the instructions attached to your response, and I deleted the artwork from the three songs that I want to use, however, when I drag them into Photoshop I am still getting the same error message.  I also don't see an option to convert the song to an MP3.  I tried going to File and Get Info, and there isn't an option.  I also tried right click on the song, but didn't see anything there either...?

  • When I do a slide show I cannot get a backsound

    when I do a slide show I cannot get a backsound

    Is this with iPhoto on your Mac or iPhoto for iOS?  If it's the former in iTunes use the File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library menu option.
    Then quit and relaunch iPhoto.

  • HT1369 I have a new iPod and cannot get my music loaded on to it. The computer says it's not connected, and then it says it is synced but there's still no mucis on it.

    I have a new iPod and cannot get my music loaded on to it. The computer says it's not connected, and then it says it is synced but there's still no mucis on it.

    If that's not a real email, you need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of contacting them include clicking here and picking a method for your country, phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • I bought a new iPod nano and cannot get the music synced

    I just purchased a new Ipod nano and registered it and upgraded the software. I cannot get the music library to sync.  My music is in the cloud. 
    any advice on what I am missing?

  • My iPhone 4 was disconnected during ios 5 update - now i have error -50 showing and cannot get phone back on. Help!

    during IOS5 update my phone was disconnected from itunes. i reconnected it and continued the update by clicking 'continue restore'. Itunes is now saying the the phone is updated to version 5 and appears to have fully synced. however, when i turned the phone back on i have the set-up screen and when i select to restore the phone through itunes i get a message with options to 'continue restore' or 'delete backup'. when i select 'continue restore' itunes then gives me an 'error -50' message and just syncs the phone but nothing seems to happen - the phone does not do anything. 
    Should i delete the back up and start over, or will that delete all my contacts?
    Any help is much appreciated!

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.

  • Changed Apple IDs and cannot get old files to play

    I have changed my apple id and i have files associated to the old account. How do I get them associated with the new one. I don't remember the password to the old account

    All content that you buy/download from Apple is tied to that account that downloaded it, and it can't be copied or transferred to a different account. So if you created a new account as opposed to updating the existing one then you will need to continue to use the old account to authorise the old purchases - if you can't remember the old account's password then you can try getting it reset via this page.

  • Cannot get any sound when playing .avi files

    Hi All
    I am running QT version 6.5.3 on Mac OS X 10.2.8 and cannot get any sound when playing .avi files but the picture is perfect.
    I have installed the following: M-Peg 2 playback component, AVI Components and AC3 component.
    Does anyone know if I am missing anything or how I can fix this?
    Many thanks

    Download and install Perian from http://perian.org/
    You should read this support page http://perian.org/#support in case you need to delete older codecs. In Macintosh HD/Library/Quicktime/ delete any files relating to DivX (Perian already has them). However it should be noted that Perian is not an internet plugin and will not play DivX files imbedded on a website. For that you will need the DivX Player browser plugin available from http://www.divx.com/divx/mac/

  • I made a slide show using imovie.  When I play it back on my imac, the slideshow looks perfect.  However when I burned in via iDVD and play the disc, the resolution drops off.  The video appears fuzzy and not sharp.  Any ideas why?

    I made a slide show using imovie.  When I play it back on my imac, the slide show is crystal clear and sharp.   I burned a disc of the slide show using iDVD.  When I played the dvd the resolution is very poor.  Fuzzy and shakey images.  I tried various solutions, Apple tec told me to go to preferences on iDVD  and select "professional" to get higher resolution. Tried that but results still the same.  Any ideas?

    When you play on your Mac, you can have resolution up to 1920x1080.
    When you burn to iDVD you convert to 640x480.

    Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty.  That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.

    If there is an item in there drag it out.

  • I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation.  It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0.  How can I get this to work?

    Oaky, at least we got that far.  Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers.  Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number.  Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
    Here are some that will remain as strings:
    +123
    123 with a space after it.
    .123

  • I have a new MacBook Pro with OS10.8.2 and cannot get Contacts to print a list of addresses with pictures showing.  There is a check box selecting "picture" which has been checked - but no picture.  This worked fine on OS10.7.5.  Problem??

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
