Music Configuration for IPhoto '08 - Slideshow

Hello, when I make a slideshow in IPhoto 2008, and select my music, then export it into a .mov file, how can I show the same slideshow in another PC Computer WITH the music?
Thanks.

Paham:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you not getting the music included in the .mov file of the slideshow? If not make sure none of the audio tracks are protected tracks from iTunes. Those can't be exported with the slideshow. But non protected audio tracks should be included as long as you selected the playlist only.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

  • Music mix for iPhoto

    Hi,
    I've not really played with Garageband, so please excuse me if this is a stupid question.
    I would like to prepare a short music mix (probably about 5 mins) using portions from several different tracks in iTunes, to play behind an iPhoto slide show.
    Is Garageband the utility to do this in???
    (it's a one off project, so i'm not planning on installing any new software just to do this, so I'm hoping the answer is yes)
    Many thanks,
    David.

    Garageband will do this for you providing your music is not copy protected "bought from itunes store". There are way around this of course.

  • How to access iTunes playlist for iPhoto slideshow?

    In iPhoto 6 when I am setting up a slideshow and click the "Music" button, I am given the option of accessing my full library from iTunes, but my Playlists don't show up anywhere, just the artists' names and individual songs,so I am able to choose just one song for an entire slideshow. How can I access my playlists in the Music settings for iPhoto slideshows?

    I have the same problem, I click the arrows and the list drops but I can only select first tune from , sample, garage band, or library. This happens every time I install an update. In the past deleting iTunes playlist has cured the problem but has not worked this time.

  • Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows.  The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto.  Any idea of what to do about this problem?

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.

  • Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

    Yes, I am signed in to iTunes match on the macbook pro, iPhone , & iPad (all updated & correct music libraries) where I bought all the tunes but still no updated tunes on the iPhoto music library after 3 days of being on iTunes match.

  • ITunes music for iPhoto Slideshow

    Not able to use files from iTunes for iPhoto Slideshow.  Only SAMPLE MUSIC.  This is the message that I get > iTunes The song "The Sad Cafe" could not be used because the original file could not be located.

    Have you checked, if the song plays correctly, when you try to play the song "The Sad Cafe" in iTunes? If you see an exclamation point besides the song, you need to reconnect that dead track to the original file. When you try to playy the song, iTunes should prompt you for the location of the song. Use the File Chooser window, that will pop up, to search for the file and select it.
    Then try again to use the song in your slideshow.

  • How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

    Here's a possible workaround:
    Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
    Install Picasa  and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
    Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
    The music and theme is preserved.
    Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

  • Can I use theme music from iPhoto '09 slideshows in iMovie '09?

    The Music and Sound Effects browser in iMovie'09 allows me to access sound effects files from iLife and iMovie, as well as music and podcasts from GarageBand and iTunes, but not any of the "Theme Music" available for use with iPhoto slideshows (such as "Linus and Lucy"). Is this possible? If so, how?

  • Iphoto 08 slideshow music not playing

    After making a slideshow with iphoto I mixed some songs together using garageband, then exported the mixed songs to iTunes.
    But when I choose that track in iTunes for my slideshow it doesn't play. I've tried a bunch of other songs they won't play either. I have done this before using iphoto 06 and didn't have any problems. But now with 08 I can't seem to get any music to play with my slideshow.
    Which means no exporting to iDVD, no burning to a disk, no showing off to my friends.
    Can anybody tell me what my problem is??

    soulmanbdr529:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get non-Garageband mixed playlists to work in iPhoto's slideshows? If so then there's something GB is doing to the joined tracks that iPhoto doesn't like. For that you'd probably get more informed responses in the Garageband forums.
    Do you Twango?

  • IPhoto 11 - slideshow music issue on manual picture change

    Hi community,
    do you experience the same behaviour?
    When navigating through the pictures in an iPhoto 11 slideshow manually e.g. by using forward and backward arrow keys, then the music always stutters or let's say "jumps" a little bit. Very annoying!
    Does anybody have the same issue? Does anybody know a solution for this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Flo

    Yes.  iPhoto is jumping to the music synced to that slide when you use the advanced arrow key.  That's normal.   The only solution is to let the slideshow play itself out.

  • Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Can someone please tell me a simple but effective method for burning a slideshow to DVD? Now that the connection between iPhoto and iDVD no longer exists, I can't figure out a way to get there with an acceptable quality result.

    Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar.  Select Size = Medium or Large.
    Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
    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.
    If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com.  Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago. 
    Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
    If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides  themes from iDVD 5-7.  The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them. 
    Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
    This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
    You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

  • Urgent advice needed for exporting a slideshow in iPhoto '09

    hi,
    what is the best setting for exporting a slideshow from iPhoto '09?
    I'll be burning it with iDVD and it will be watched on a large flat screen TV.
    I WAS GOING TO USE THE .MOV option with the default settings but should I use the DV settings?
    I've only got time to try it once.
    thanks

    Honestly there is no answer for that until you do it. A mov will work perfectly fine. But there are variables: The quality and sharpness of the original photos. How they survive being compressed to a mov, how that mov survives being compressed to DVD format. The quality of the DVD player (and no, they are not all the same) and finally the crispness of the screen. If all goes well, yes it will look perfectly good. But you're not going to know until you do it.
    Regards

  • Iphoto 11 slideshow music problem

    Just updated to iPhoto 11.  Now when I play slide shows it will not play music from my iTunes.  Tried AIFF, MP3 & M2A.  The previous iphoto worked fine with my music in itunes.  The slideshow does work with the sample tracks.  Any ideas?????
    Thanks,
    Mike

  • IPhoto 11 slideshow music: Can I start music after 1st slide?

    Can I start the music at the second slide in IPHOTO 11 slideshow?

    No. However, you can add a  track of dead air (silence) of a few seconds and use that track with the other track in a custom playlist. You may have to experiment with the length depending on the length of the sideshow if you use Scale to Music.  If you set a definite slide display time create the dead air track to that length.
    You can use a 3rd party audio editor or Garageband to create the dead air track.
