Moving Slideshow to iDisk OR iTunes?

I created a Slideshow in iTunes. I am now trying to either move it or export it or whatever I have to do to get that Slideshw onto my iPhone. Can't figure it out.
I exported as a .mov file, but when I try to open that I get an Error in QUicktime saying: "The document “Dragontemp.mov” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands."
I just upgraded to Snow Leopard & QT is supposedly the latest version.
I also tried dragging the SLideshow Folder into iTunes but that doesn't work. Likewise, cannot drag it into iDisk either.
Also tried to use SHARE as a .Mac Slides, but that is greyed out.
So now that I have this slideshow made, how can anyone see it other than coming to my place & logging onto my iMac? I'd think there would be a quick & easy way to move the iPhoto slideshow onto an iPhone?
Thanks, and Happy Thanksgiving

I was able to use the latter method to Create a slideshow, I then was able to export it to iTUnes.
But after syncing my iPhone, the movie does not show up anywhere on my ihone. Although there is a folder for Movies on iTUnes, and that is where the slideshow was placed, on the iPhone there is NO folder for Movies. There is a Videos folder, but that is blank.
So I guess I am still left with my original question(s) - How do I get a slideshow made on iPhoto onto my iPhone?
Maybe I can't?
I had thought MobileMe would be a good vehicle for that, but what I am finding in my trial is that MobileMe isn't very good for anything excpet looking at single, small files, or single pictures. Doesn't seem to work for albums, slideshows, etc.

After moving files out of the iTunes library they still show in the iTunes list

I am archiving movies out of my iTunes library. I have moved the files from the iTunes media folder and into another folder but the movies still show up in the iTunes movie list in the main iTunes window. I am sure there is some kind of link to the file but do I need to break that somehow or can I refresh the iTunes list so it will see that the files are no longer in the media folder?

An easier way is to simply drag movies/songs from the iTunes window to where you want.
Then delete it in iTunes.

When you add files to iTunes, it adds them to the iTunes library database file and this is what is displayed in iTunes.
I f you remove the file from its location, iTunes will not know until you try to access it in iTunes. It will then show an exclamation mark if it cannot find that file.

I cannot export a slideshow from Iphoto to iTunes

I am trying to export a slideshow from iphoto to itunes so that I can burn it to a dvd. The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.

You are asking about a slideshow in iPhoto on your Mac, right? Then the iLife > iPhoto forum would have been the right one to ask your question. This forum is for iPhoto on IOS devices.
The automatically sent to itunes is checked but the export button is not highlighted.
The "Export" button will become active, when you select a size for your exported movie. Press one of the sizes , for example "Large", if you want to view the movie on your iPad or Apple TV.

Exporting an iphoto slideshow to play in itunes

I want to export a slideshow from iphoto to itunes so i can sync it with my iphone.
I know it can be done, i did one 6 months ago to put it on my ipod, but i can remember how i did it.
I know it has to be in the .m4v format
please help!

Hey richkyd,
You can export your slideshow from iPhoto as a .Mov file by going to File> Export.
You can also click Share> iDVD. When you share to iDVD, it creates a video file in /Users/your user/Movies
From there you should be able to transfer the video to the iPhone. But, you can convert the video as described in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1211
Highlight the video in iTunes> Advanced> convert for iPhone.

Apps not getting moved from/to iPhone via iTunes

My wife is having problems with her iPhone and iTunes. Apps are not getting removed from the iPhone or are not getting moved to the iPhone from iTunes. Apps that iTunes says are there are not on the iPhone.
She has tried multiple times to remove/install and applied changed and synced, but nothing seems to change.
iTunes version 11.3.1 (2)
iPhone 4s IOS 7.1.2

Oh, wanted to share at least one workaround for those with the issue. You can at least access visit the itunes app and download your music that way and add it to the playlists on the phone. Just for some reason, iTunes won't synchronize most purchased music to the phone.

What happens to my podcast files stored on idisk for itunes?

What happens to my podcast files stored on idisk for itunes?

Any webspace that provides enough data transfer to cope with your podcasts will do fine. Although check the terms & conditions of whichever webhost you go for, as some may have restrictions on just using their webspace for externally linked files, rather than a website as well.
How much data transfer your podcasts use will depend on how popular they are. MobileMe webhosting allowed 200GB of data transfer per month. If you never went over that, then as long as the new host matches or exceeds that you'll be ok.

IPhoto slideshow different screensize in iTunes movies

I'm thinking of purchasing AppleTV soon with the intention of showing slideshows on the one eyed monster in the lounge.
With this in mind I've been exporting my slideshows from iPhoto to
iTunes movies via Movies folder.
The problem is that the screensize of the slideshows are not widescreen when played on my G5 through iTunes (black border down each side).
When exporting from iPhoto I use the large (640x480) movie size, is this correct?
Any thoughts much appreciated.

You don't need to do this conversion at all. AppleTV can sync with iPhoto and has its own slideshow function, complete with transitions.

When making a slideshow in iPhoto some iTunes files can no longer be found (cannot find link). How can I relink iphoto to the moved itunes files?

Hello everyone :-)
I am Using Iphoto 09 ver 8.1.2 & itunes ver. 10.2.2 in this situation.
I have recently moved my iphoto library & Itunes library files to a large external hard drive.
I have successfully set the computer to read / run both libraries from the hard drive & they are working well as a stand alone. ( I Have done this before)
Unforntualey this time I foolishly moved some itunes album folders around from compulations / various artists into the main media file before checking into what the ramifications would be.
After searching on here I learned that was not advised as itunes would not be able to automaticly find them since I moved them.
In itunes clicked on some of the exclamtion marks of the songs that I moved & linked them up to the main media folder so they could be now found by itunes. I believe itunes asked to look there in that location for all missing files & I selected that option.
It appears to have worked as when I click on them in itunes they now play.. yeah!
But now I am finding that when I try to add certain songs for slideshows in iphoto & imovie that those moved songs cannot be found by those programs :-(
( I assume the same would be true for iDVD)
So my questions are... Is there now a way to have those other programs find the moved songs?
I do have a older backup of my itunes media & I can try & move the album folders back to the original place they where by comparing the two but it is a very large library of 40k songs... so I thought to ask the knowledge & wisdom of the community before I attempted any further fixes.
It would take a bit of time but it could be done & I don't want to just use the older copy of my itunes as I have made many additions of albums to the library & added allot of album artwork as well. (Stuff that "itunes" & "tune up" couldn't automatically find)
Thanks in advance for any advice on this silly mistake I made.
Sal

Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
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 the the Option key. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
Also delete the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same Preferences folder. Then launch iTunes and then iPhoto. See if that will restore the links.

Moved to a new Mac - iTunes Media horro

Hi,
this drives me crazy: I moved to a new mac and can not get my iTunes to work.
iTunes just does not find my media files.
My old setup on a PowerMacG4 was:
folder iTunes with libraries in my home folder, but the music was on another volume
So inside the "iTunes Music Library.xml" (thats how it is named in the old iTunes) there is the entry
<key>Music Folder</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/</string>
pointing to the folder on the volume where my media files are.
Every media file has an entry in the xml, where the key "Location" points to the exact folder the file is located, e.g.
<key>Location</key><string>file://localhost/Volumes/blabla/Musik/Alexandra/Die%2 0Legende%20einer%20Sa%CC%88ngerin/Mein%20Freund,%20der%20Baum.MP3</string>
I used "Migration Assistant" to move data from old disks to the new mac. Having connected the old volume blabla new iTunes found the files.
Having renamed the volume blabla iTunes still found the files and replaced all Location references. Magic?
So i copied all the media to my new mac to a new location and told iTunes (prefernece location of iTunes media) where my media files are.
Does not work. It still believes the file are on volume blabla. It never looks into te files copied to the new location!
Hmmm, so i looked inside the "iTunes Library.xml": The "Music Folder" is set correctly, but the files location points to the old volume.
Doing a replace for all locations in the xml doesn't work either, probably the itl-file holds the same information?
If i start iTunes again, it ovewrites all my changes made to the xml.
Not giving up yet, because I have read that if the itl is invalid, it gets rebuild from the xml i zap the itl and start itunes again. -> no more media files in the library.
I do not understand where iTunes stores its information, why there are two Library files (itl and xml) and which one is leading.
Please: how can i get itunes to recognize my media files.
This is the worst interface I've ever seen. I only want to move my media files and iTunes just does not let me do it :-(

The iTunes Library.itl file holds the key information. The .xml file is for third party support. If you have access to a working version of the library on the old machine then you can use the process in this thread to make your split library portable. Since the media has already been copied over you would then just need to copy the library files again while putting everything into the correct layout.
If that isn't possible it may be that you can trigger iTunes into fixing your broken links. Having set the media folder to the correct path in preferences, highlight a single broken tracks and attempt to Get Info. When iTunes complains the tracks is missing use the option to locate the track. iTunes should offer to attempt to fix other broken links based on the path to this one.

Files moved to external hardrive now iTunes library is empty

I moved iTunes to an external hard drive, but when I go to use iTunes the library is blank. I still have the library on the new drive, how do I get it to appear back on iTunes. My iPod has not been docked so the library in on the iPod as well. Please help.

Did you put back
i both
the music files and the original 'iTunes Library.itl' file to their expected spots?
If the music files are returned without the correct ITL file, you'll end up with a blank Library. If the ITL file is in place without the music files, you'll end up having song references within iTunes with the '!' symbol.
My guess is that you need to find the 'iTunes Library.itl' file that was used when the music was on the C: drive. Did you make any copies of this (before or during your move attempt) or do you have any backup copies of this file? It will need to be placed in the 'My Music\iTunes' folder, replacing the current one that is there.
If the only ITL file you have is the current 'blank' one, you may have lost some music information (playlists, last played, playcount, date added). We can get the music back into the Library with the remainder of the meta-data.
Post back with comments or more questions.

Moving playlists from ipod to itunes?

I've recently bought a new computer and ipod, no problems moving my itunes across, but the playlists (some of which took hours to create and maintain) are only on my old ipod.
Anyone know a way to move a playlist from ipod to itunes, sorry if I'm being stupid but I can't figure it out!

Sorry I can't help...but I have dumber question I think. I've bought songs at itunes store and they only download to one of the ipods I use when sync. does anyone know how to get the songs i've paid for on multiple ipods? thanks

Moved library to external HD, iTunes still uses old iTunes Library.itl file

Howdy-
I'm running Windows 7 & iTunes XXX
I moved my library from my laptop internal hard drive (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes) to my external hard drive (G:\iTunes).
I followed the recommended procedure:
1 - Edit/Preferences: check "Keep iTunes Media Folder Organized"
2 - Edit/Prefrences: click "Change" & input "G:\iTunes" into box to denote new library location
3 - File/Library/Organize Library & check "Consolidate Files"
Now, I've found that iTunes still uses the old "iTunes Library.itl" file in the old location (C:\Users\jasonbar\Music\iTunes). For the sake of convenience (and to make the library entirely self-contained on the external HD & to protect it from possible laptop loss/failure), it would be swell if I could migrate that file over to my external hard drive also. But, if I remove the "iTunes Library.itl" file from the old location & copy it to the new iTunes directory, iTunes just doesn't seem to be able to figure out that there's a nice "iTunes Library.itl" file on my external hard drive that it can use.
Is there any way to achieve what I want?
Thank you,
-Jason

I assume you have your iTunes folder located on your other drive (no Music folder enclosing it.) On your startup volume you have a /Home/Music/ folder but the iTunes folder has been removed. OK, so far?
Go to where the real iTunes folder is located. Select the folder then CTRL or RIGHT-click and select Make alias from the contextual menu. You should see a new icon appear named "iTunes alias" with a little curly arrow in the lower left corner of the icon. Now, copy the alias file to the /Home/Library/Music/ folder on your startup volume. Rename it to just "iTunes" (no quotes.) Delete the alias you created on the other drive.
Now when you double-click on the iTunes alias in your /Home/Music/ folder your real iTunes folder should open up. Now if you open iTunes application it should re-discover the iTunes folder.
Or you can do what the other posted suggested. Simply point iTunes to the new location of your iTunes folder. Open iTunes Preferences, click on the Advanced icon in the toolbar. Click on the Change button, locate the new library location, click on OK button of the Open dialog.

Moving playlists f/Nano to Itunes

This afternoon I tried moving songs from another computer to my main Itunes computer. Somehow in the process (which I botched, of course :(), I moved my playlists from the main Itunes computer to the Ipod only. Now I can't move these playlists back to Itunes. I get a "prohibited" mark (circle with a slash through it).
Please help!!! Thanks!

In my quest for answers this afternoon (thank you for your help, btabz), I have downloaded an iTunes and iPod update and now I'm able to manuver playlists between the tunes and pod just fine. However, I am still clueless on how I botched moving 3 Itunes files to another computer. I thought I did everything that was in the tutorial.
God I hate computers sometimes.

Sound changes when moving mp3 from quicktime to itunes

When I move a mp3 from quicktime to itunes the sound changes. itunes makes it sound a little worse from the original mix. I dont think its the equalizer becuase i tried fooling around with that and tuning it off for a better result.
So the mp3 sounds perfect in quicktime but terrible in itunes whats my problem?

I figured out that if i bring it into itunes as mp4 instead of mp3 it sounds alright.
So you are not moving the MP3 from QT to iTunes as you wrote in your first post. You are converting from AAC to MP3.
i tried to burn it and i think it automatically converts it back to mp3 for the burn
No.
If you have audio CD selected in iTunes prefs -> Advanced - Burning, it will convert them to an audio CD.
It willnot convert any other time unless you tell it to convert.
is there a way to burn it while maintaining the mp4 quality??
Select Audio CD or Data CD and it will burn an audio file or the MP4 file.

Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

David,
I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
Thanks again.
Rob
