Manual Slideshow Playback: Jumping Over 2nd Photo

I have an iDVD project which I tested with success on my PowerMac. However when I play the DVD in a regular home player, I am getting an odd error.
I have three different slideshows set to a manual transition with no music. When you launch a slideshow from the main menu, it displays the first slide correctly. When you click on the "forward" button on the DVD remote, it transitions to the second slide and then automatically goes on to the third (and waits for user input).
This is happening on each of the three slideshows - it always quickly displays the second image and goes right on to the third. These slideshows go along with a lecture so I need to get this resolved.
* To Help With Trouble Shooting *
I have tried this on two stand alone DVD players and this was the case on both of them. Oddly enough, I tried it on the Blueray drive inside my Playstation 3 and it worked as it was supposed to.
I have tried this on both of my Macs using DVD.app and it played just fine - the same as in the iDVD preview.
I am using the "fade to black" transition between slides.
I am using regular single layer DVD-R media.
Hopefully someone out there has come across this before and has a solution. I am open for any and all suggestions.
Thanks in advance,
Abraham
PowerMac G5 Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to iDVD Discussions.
I am using regular single layer DVD-R media.
Could be media-related. What brand?
I recommend a disk image burned to Verbatim DVD-R at 4X or slower using Toast or Disk Utility.
David Pogue also recommends Verbatim on page 356 of his latest book:
iMovie HD & iDVD 6: The Missing Manual
Quoting David: "Cheaper brands don't use the same amount of organic dyes and are more likely to suffer premature deaths."

Imovie slideshow skips over some photos help!

i made a movie composed of all still photos moving very quickly, but when i play the slideshow it skips over about ten photos. the photo before the photos that are skipped stays on the screen, while the red line passes over many of the photos. how can i get imovie to stop skipping my photos?

In my case, the new 5G ipod was skipping virtually all the songs I had previously added from my own CD collection, but playing all others like mp3 files from CD-R or files downloaded from web, or itunes store (my old 3G had no problem playing them all). After much futzing around I found I could fix the skipping by slightly altering the info file on each of the affected songs. The easiest way to do this was on itunes choose edit--select all--right click on any song--choose "get info"--choose info tab--then insert a period or a dash or some other unobtrusive symbol in the comments section. You should see a green check mark appear next to the info section. Click OK.
This symbol will now be added to every song's comments. But it cured my problem 100%.

IPhoto slideshows don't transfer over to Photos?

My iPhoto slideshows are listed under the Photos app, but none of the settings were transferred, or music selections? Any way to recover these?

Even if I try to do the speed change natively in Motion, it still yields the same result in terms of what part of the source footage it's looking at.
In this case, if I wanted to do use the optical flow option, I would do it in Shake because the source footage is an hour long, and Motion has to analyze the ENTIRE source file rather than just the part that's being referenced. (Annoying) Shake does only the part you are using.

How to create Manual Slideshow Button

Hi, I'm trying to have a manual slideshow
controlled by a single simple arrow button
to either advance or go back
I've already converted my slideshow to track
and on the first track/chapter marker I've selected
Button Highlight Marker
How do I now create a button that lets the user
browse all 60 slides manually?
thanks

Sorry this reply isn't about creating mannual slideshow button, but it might help solving what you want. You said you want to "lets the user
browse all 60 slides manually".
What I did with my slideshow:
1. Drag all the photos in the slideshow
2. Check all the boxes "PAUSE" (this way the photo will stay still until the user press "next" of "previous" button in the the remote/ dvd player controller button)
3. Duplicate the last photo (by dragging from the DVDSP browser)and put it after it's clone.
4. DON'T check the box "Pause" for this duplicate
5. Set the duration for this duplicate to 15 frames (00:00:00:15)
Set the slideshow to "jump to xxx menu" when finish.
Now, what happen is, when the slideshow starts, the user will see the first slide freeze, and they will manually go back or forth from the player control (not the button on the dvd menu). When it come to the last slideshow, and they hit "next" it will transist to it's clone (that you duplicated), this clone is set to automatically transist after 15 frames and jump to XXX.
To make the users more aware of the "possibility of going back and forth", or simply to tell the user what the next/ previous slide is, you can create dummy "button" (I just do it with arrow symbol or text "Next" and "Previous") in the appropriate position on the slide. This "button" is only to tell the user there is a next and previous, it doesn't interact. But what it does is making the user press "next" and "back" in the controller.
I hope this help.

Pleas help -I have no memoy, I can't even download apps

Try following these directions:
Connect the iOS device to the computer.
Choose Start > Computer.
Double-click the logo for the device to browse its camera folders.
Navigate to [iOS device]\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
Manually copy the content in this folder to your computer, wherever you would like to store it.
Disconnect your device. Open the Camera Roll and manually delete all the pictures from the iPhone Camera Roll that you just imported.
If you still need help, please don't hesitate to ask.

I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are over 300 photos in my trash yet I can't find them and the trash looks empty?

After problems with iPhotos I emptied my iPhoto trash but it tells me there are still over 300 photos in the trash yet it looks empty and I can't find apparently still existing photos. How can I make the number go and tells me my trash is on zero?

First ry the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Mt. Lion from the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If the above doesn't help continue with the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Manual slideshow problems

One thing I often need to do is show a bunch of my photos as a slideshow. I like to do that in manual mode, so i can choose when to go forward or back. On my new dual-core 2GHz G5, the manual slideshow feature works terribly. When I hit the forward arrow, there can be a long delay, and then a small version (bigger than a thumbnail) appears, and after another 5-10 seconds it finally expands to full size. If I go back to the previous image, it goes through that 10-20 second delay again, even though the image was just displayed a moment before. Automated slideshows work better. There's still a pretty long delay between photos (even if I set the time very short), but at least it doesn't change until the full-screen version is ready to display.
There is a setting to "use proxy images" for faster speed, but the resulting images can be pretty terrible. They looked like the original images without any of my post-processing (no sharpening, etc.)
Normally I'd just open the files in a different program, such as iView Media, and have a slideshow that moved quickly between images, without ever displaying shrunken versions. But if I use Aperture as my primary tool, this will be problematic because I won't have easy access to the images. Would I have to output all the images as jpegs just to show a slideshow? That seems like a big drawback and waste of disk space. Has anyone encountered the same problem or have suggestions for showing slideshows when using Aperture as the primary photo organizer?
Paul

I've hd the same problem since upgrading from 3 to 5. Sometimes only the first slide will show while the next show is okay... I also found trying to navigate backwards won't work with iDVD5. I had to use iPhoto to do what I needed & export the slides as a movie. A real pain, but it did work. I hope they fix this. Of all things, a slide show should be a piece of cake. But try the iPhoto route in you're in a bind.

Request: Option to Suppress Reminders During Slideshow Playback

Keynote Team,
Could we have an option to suppress calendar reminders when in slideshow playback mode? I was doing a presentation with the VGA out tail, and a calendar reminder popped-up. It dropped the video connection (good idea, thanks), and it put-up the reminder, and I had to restart the slideshow manually after clearing the reminder. It completely broke the flow of the presentation and my concentration. An option to suppress reminders while in playback would be great.

Best of luck.

Why does itunes say i have over 700 photos on my phone but i really only have about 200?

I have a 4S running 8.1.1 and on itunes when i connect my phone it says i have 700+ pictures when in reality by camera roll has less than 200. I am connected to ICloud but I turned off all settings in the "Photos" section of the Icloud settings. I did sync all my photos that are on my phone on to IPhoto on my computer. Does ITunes count the pictures on IPhoto on my computer and my Camera roll to make over 700+ photos? That is the best guess i have and i think is unlikely. Help!

HT201317 I have over 300 photos and 87 videos on my iphone 5. each time I plug in for battery I get a message saying not enough space, need to buy more, so I did yesterday. While attempting to do icloud storage again it said would take 83 hours.

I have over 300 photos and 87 videos. When I recharge the battery I am geting the message to buy more storage to because not enough icloud space. So I did yesterday. That went ok, but the new message tells me it will take 83 hours. Perplexed I went thru the settings and turned off apps and their data that I didn't realize where on. Now I'm not sure if I needed to purchase more storage but it is still taking forever to complete the task. Am I on the right track with this, meaning will take forever to store all my photos or what ? The only other item I have on to store is contacts. Can you assist me ? Thanks - emoslim

Welcome to the Apple Community.
The first back up to iCloud may take some considerable time. Just how long isn't really possible to say without knowing how much is in your back up and your connection speed.
What many people don't realise is that upload speeds are often significantly less than download speeds, so for example a user may have a download speed of 40 Mbps, but only 1 Mbps for uploading. As a rough guide it will take around 2 ¼ hours to upload 1 GB of data at 1 Mbps.

When I right click on a link "Open link in new tab" since a few days, it "jumps over" the tab to the right and opens in the tab next to that. How can I change this back to opening in the tab next to the page from which I opened as it used to be?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

Adding Text over a Photo in a Movie

First, is this possible? Can I actually add credits over a photo added from IPhoto to a movie in IMovie 5?
I am having a problem adding a title (credits) over a photo I have added to the end of a movie. I unclick "over black" and type in the text to scroll over the photo, and when I try to drag the "T" onto the photo, a black clip appears, and the text goes over that. I look up, and the "over black" box is checked again. I did lengthen the time of the photo, but that hasn't made a difference.
The text has appeared over the wrong clip at times, too.
I'm sure I'm missing something somewhere. Help!

Another thing to consider if your photo is a still frame, not using KB effect:
If you are ok with the title appearing just a few seconds after the start of the photo, use the "Split video at playhead" to split the photo just where you want the title to begin, and place it there. Just be sure that the length of the photo clip and the title are the same. You can lengthen the photo clip after the split if you need to.
This is great to do if you have used a transition before the photo, because you don't have to delete the transition. I have split a photo that had transitions on either side, lengthened the middle photo clip and added a title to that. Worked great!

The quick way is when you imprort them to an app on your computer, usually there is the option to delete everything on the phone that was imported. If you declined that option, then you have to do it one by one or manualy select in edit mode.
