Music for slideshows when streaming

I almost pulled my hair trying to figure this out. If you want to just stream and watch slideshows but hear no music do this:
Make sure that you are streaming (settings>Add shared library)
Go back to the top menu, select photos>shared photos and go to the settings inside this menu. NOT the settings for the main section of photos. It is above the albums in your shared photos.
Or you could sync everything but that is just not for me.

You could also set up a syncing library and choose to sync nothing but photos. This allows you many of the benefits of the primary library that you don't get by setting up a secondary library.

  • Music for slideshows on the Touch?

    Unlike my video iPod, when I look at the settings options for Photos on my iPod Touch, there are no music options. When I play my "slideshows", they are silent. The Apple support tech told me that you cannot have music for slideshows on the Touch. Can this be accurate? That seems odd to me. Anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how?

    Your idea of starting the music and then starting a slideshow is a possible work-around, but still it seems like one should be able to have programmed music for a slideshow just like in iPhoto, or the video iPods.

  • HT1338 Choosing music for slideshows

    Hi, I am having trouble in selecting music to play with a slide show in iPhoto. I can see all my iTunes library but when i select a track it simply won't play in the slide show. Can anyone help?

  • Why does my itunes music feed glitch when streaming

    Hi,
    I have the latest version of I tunes on my Windows 7 based machine. I recently purchased a Monitor Audio ASB-2 sound bar with Airplay but when I stream to it both the sound from the bar and the pc plays for about 7 seconds cuts for about 1 second and then happens all over again without a break. I purchased a new Airport Express today to see if the same this happens and it does, even with all three thing playing.
    Interestingly if I play from my iphone or my sons ipod there is no issue. Any ideas please?? 

    Hey there Solarboy101,
    It sounds like you’re running into Air-Play performance issues when streaming music from iTunes on your PC to your AirPlay-enabled speakers. Try the troubleshooting suggestions in the article linked below, they'll generally resolve issues like the one you've described.

  • QT movie will not pre-load text track for chapters when streaming

    We have been trying to stream quicktime files with chapters for some time and have followed every tutorial, message board advice and trick to get this to work but with no luck. I am unable to get the chapters to show up in QTplayer when the video is streaming. I am trying to accomplish exactly what you see on this web page http://media.law.unimelb.edu.au/kalt/
    Basically, we have successfully created our movie file (with fast start enabled), successfully created our text track, copied it onto our movie file, and set it to preload, as in the instructions at http://www.apple.com/quicktime/tutorials/chaptertracks.html (I had to roll-back QT Pro as the Preload checkbox has disappeared from 7.4.5!!).
    Then we have saved it as a self-contained movie, and it works perfectly, with drop-down chapters in the right places, etc.
    As soon as we put the file on our quicktime streaming server however, the file streams great but there are no chapters. If I look at the movie properties of our streaming file, there is no text track listed. The properties of the streaming file on the above web page DOES show the text track listed, so I am guessing that mine is simply not pre-loading the text file, even though I have checked the box to do just that and the chapters work great if I simply open the file locally, just not when it is streaming. I have tried this with many test files, large and small.
    Could anyone let me know how I can get that text track to pre-load in the stream and therefore have the chapters appear in the drop-down list in quicktime player when streaming? I would be eternally grateful!

    First, you don't have to roll-back QT Pro, as what you want to do can be accomplished with the latest QuickTime.
    Second, skip down to the bottom of that page you linked to. You'll find a Step 1 and Step 2 that applies to Streaming QuickTime movies with chapters. This was sort of confusing when I first tried it, but the way you accomplish Step 1 is to start the stream using a computer that has QuickTime Pro, then save the stream as "Self-Contained" (NOT the original movie that resides on your Streaming Server). As when you save any QuickTime stream as Self-Contained, you'll end up with a really tiny movie that simply points to the streaming server.
    Once you have that movie, you add the chapters to it (again, not to the movie that resides on your QTSS), then when someone clicks that link (or even if they download that tiny movie to their desktop), the chapter loads immediately (because it's right there) and choosing chapters in it commands the QTSS to begin playing from that point. I've got an example I posted here.

  • Samples of music for slideshow

    Where do I get samples of music for a slideshow . I just want a melow song/beat as the slideshow shows pictures?

    If you go to the music browser in iMovie, and navigate to the iLife/Jingles section, you will find a lot of music tracks you can use in your iMovie. These are royalty free and can be used in places like YouTube.
    For more places to get music, see my tip here.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3921
    You can use any track from your iTunes library, but I do not recommend this if you will put it on YouTube or FaceBook, because they can tell that you are violating copyright. They may not take your video down, but they will sell ads and give the money to the record company that owns the copyright. It can be annoying to have your friends have to watch an ad to see your video.

  • No longer able to program music for slideshow?

    For some reason when I try to play any slideshow on my tv and choose setting, when it comes to music it is stuck on "DEFAULT MUSIC NONE".   I can't bring up any of my iTunes library playlists or the Themes provided by Apple TV.  I can only turn shuffle songs off and on and that I think brings up the entire library (including Spanish lessons LOL).   I have upgraded the Apple TV software to the latest and also iTunes to latest version.   No matter what button I push on the Apple TV remote nothing changes.  I disconnected the Apple TV and reconnected it.  Only thing I haven't done yet is turn off and on the router.  Apple TV other programs all work alright as far as I know.  Any suggestions?

    I solved the problem myself.  I kept hitting the same buttons on the remote, and finally the Apple iTune Library came up including all the Apple TV themes.  Don't know why it finally worked.  Didn't do anything I haven't tried before.  One of those computer quirks.  Do you suppose computers sometimes like to mess around with us humans?

  • Music for slideshows

    How do I add additional music to a slideshow I create in I-Photo? When I choose more than one song it only plays the last one selected.

    If you plan on using iDVD to burn the iPhoto slideshow to disk the only factor to consider is the playing time of it . iDVD can burn a 120 minute QT movie file. If you're going to use the finder and burn the resulting QT movie file export the file and check the size.
    If you do use iDVD I suggest after sending the slideshow to iDVD, delete it from the iDVD project, create a slideshow in iDVD and open its organizational window. Go to your Movies folder, locate the movie file just created and drag into the iDVD slideshow. This will allow the movie to be scaled to the TV safe area and not have any of it lost when played on a TV set due to TV overscan.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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), 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 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Selecting music for slideshows on Apple TV

    When I want to show my photos on Apple TV as a slideshow, the program randomly picks music from my i-Tunes library to accompany the slides. Sometimes the music "works", sometimes it is inappropriate and distracting. Can I control which music accompanies my slideshows without going to the work of formally creating the show in i-Movie?

    If you have the latest update for Apple TV and if you have an iPod Touch or iPhone then you can use the Remote Application to change the song while viewing a Photo slide show.

  • No music for slideshows

    Just upgraded my iPhoto for iOS7 and I get no sound when I have music selected for slide shows.
    Anyone else have this - any hints as to what the heck is going on and how to fix it...
    Thanks
    RB

    In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
    Then quit and restart iPhoto.
    Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

  • Music for slideshow

    Is it possible to pick more than one song for the slideshow on the ipad2?  I have a slideshow with over 600 pictures and listening to one song over and over is getting a bit old. 

    In the Photos app no - a work-around is to start the music playing in the iPod app and then switch into the Photos app and start the slideshow (with no music selected in the slideshow settings).

  • Purchased music disappears (?) when streamed to Squeezebox music player

    I have recently purchased a Squeezebox Boom and successfully transferred the majority of my music from iTunes to Squeezecenter so it can be played around the house. However the majority of music I have _purchased_ from iTunes has disappeared from the squeezebox receiver - i suspect this is to do with the protection of the music downloaded from iTunes, but i would like some advice as to whether there is anything I can do, or whether I should purchase my music from elsewhere in future if I want to use it?
    It would seem rather silly if I am unable to play the music I have paid for in my own house just because it is a non-apple product.
    Thanks for help/advice
    Steve

    Most tracks from the iTunes Store should now be eligible for upgrading to iTunes Plus which in addition to being higher quality come without copy protection and so should work with Squeezecenter and your Squeezebox. Until recently only one major label - EMI - and some independent record labels allowed Apple to sell the label's content without copy protection. But earlier this month Apple struck an agreement with the other major labels to allow tracks to be sold without copy protection, so your tracks may now be available unprotected. Try the Upgrade to iTunes Plus link at the right of the iTunes Store and it will show you what's available for upgrade. Note: there is a cost involved in the upgrade, and it's all or nothing; you can't select which tracks to upgrade, you must upgrade your entire library at once.

  • Music for slideshow stops in Organizer 11  and 12

    Is anyone else having this problem.? It just recently started.  I am using Windows 8.1 and Windows 7.  Music starts, then stops after a few seconds.  Happens with the music that comes with the program as well as imported music.  Music plays in Organizer, just not with the slideshow option.

    Why are you posting this question in an iWeb forum?  Does it have anything to do with iWeb?
    Why not go and post it in the iPhoto forum and you might get more help there.

  • Selected music for slideshow won't play.Just makes a distorted noise Help!

     

    Then I would post that in the iTunes forum. As the share isn't working in multiple apps it points to iTunes as the issue.

  • Wlan router restarts when streaming music to Airport express

    Hi guys,
    Yesterday I received my brand new Airport express which I plan to use for streaming music from iTunes to my Stereo. Unpacking and installing the lovely looking AE was like x-mas eve and birthday all in one .
    After the installation where I set up the AE to join my wireless network. My wlan is a WEP 64 bit encrypted one, I had some problems adding it to the network with the wizard of the AE tool, but this worked just fine after using the manual set-up procedure instead where I chose WEP 40 bit in the AE tool. I also upgraded AE firmware as a part of this process.
    So, the AE pops up nicely in iTunes, and I started streaming music to them, and it worked perfectly... for 10 seconds. Then the music stopped, the play-bar in iTunes stopped, and I also noticed that my laptop (Acer laptop running Windows Vista) lost the internet connection.
    After some investigations where I switched off volume adjustment on remote speakers in iTunes and reseting and re-installing the AE, I noticed that the reasons for the problems seems to my wlan router re-booted whenever I started streaming music to the AE. My wlan router is a Zyxel Prestige 660, and it has worked flawlessly for the last two years. The AE is connected to the network, it gets an IP address, and it shows up just fine in the IP list on the router, that is before it restarts... And once the router re-starts the logs are gone, so it's not possible to see what's happening in that end.
    Has anyone ever experienced the same? What can the root cause be? Changing the wlan encryption is unfortunately not an option since the router is pre-programmed from my ISP. I'm considering changing my modem, but I'm reluctant to spending 150 bucks on a new modem if this may not resolve the issue.
    Any comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

    Part 2: The mystic restart of the router was solved through changing to a Thompson Speedtouch 780 (luckily my ISP sent me a new wlan router and I didn't even have to pay).
    However, the problem with the music breaking up when streaming from iTunes to the AE remains; The stream is broken after just a few seconds, and it also seems to mess up other internet traffic on my laptop . I've tried with the AE in a number of different locations, even 1 meter away from my laptop - nothing works.
    As it is now, the AE is useless. What a disappointment .
