Music Playlist for slideshow

I have put together a Playlist of music in iTunes that I want to play with a slideshow I put together in iPhoto. The only way I seem to be able to play the playlist is if I move all of the songs down to "Custom Playlist for Slideshow". "Play music in slideshow" is checked. If I do not put the music in Custom Playlist it seems like iPhoto plays what it want to play .
Is this correct or do I have something set wrong.
I am using Airplay from my iMac to my AppleTV but it does the same thing when I play the slideshow on my iMac.
Thanks for the help.

Is your music stored on network or external drive possibly connected to network computer/Airport Express or Timecapsule?
Since I have some other Apple application (I cannot tell which one as I would violate some "feature dsicussion policies" that was notified to me via e-mail) I noticed that Apple media products seem to have problem with recognizing network/external stored media files especially music. Interesting part is that iTunes will not expose the problem and it works fine playing music files from "outer space" (outside of local drive).
To workaround this (in case of network or external drive stored files) please move needed files to internal hard drive and that should fix that Apple "feature".
Good luck,

  • 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.

  • IPhoto '08 (7.1)  Freezes when Clicking "Music" Icon for Slideshow

    When I try to add music to a slideshow, iPhoto freezes up when clicking the Music icon. How to make it work again (it worked fine before the upgrade).

    Monique:
    It actually not frozen, just as slow as molassas on an iceberg. It's a result of this last update, iLife Support 8.1. It may take up to 30 seconds but the slideshow pane will eventually open and you can set your options.
    Be sure to report this at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports on this subject the more likely they will get a fix out quickly.
    A similar slowness is in accessing the preferences in iPhoto for many.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. 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.

  • My music selection for slideshows now appears limited to playlists

    I have successfully created a number of slideshows accompanied by single tracks picked from my Library.
    Now, however, choosing Music only appears to let me pick an entire Playlist from within the Library i.e. the single tracks are no longer visible from the pick list.
    Any ideas on what has gone wrong and how to fix it?

  • IDVD music skips for slideshow

    I have create an idvd slideshow for my mother 90th birthday. I have selected 8 songs. When I play the slideshow from beginning to end everything works great....then I burn the DVD and play it and some of the songs skip. I redo the DVD and it skips in different places. What can I do to fix this? Susan
    I also have the issue of not being able to burn a DVD-R ...it seems to only want to burn on a DVD-RW. Is this normal? There are 426 pictures and 8 songs. My computer has lots of room.

    Btw, if your objective is to have all images on a single shideshow then I'd recommend an alternate app for the slideshow itself prior to using iDvd. For example; iMovie will work with stills as a single QT file and hence no limits on the number of images (up to the capacity of the dvd you are using at the time) with excellent audio results also.
    You may also wish to consider these alternate apps which specialize in slideshow presentation which you can then burn through iDvd.

  • Help setting up sharing for music playlists family sharing vs home sharing

  • Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

    For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

    Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
    You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
    Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
    Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
    This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

  • Music playlist and photo slideshow

    I Have an ipad 2 i open my music playlist and start playing music, i then open my photos and select slide show, after about 2 1/2 to 3 songs in,playlist just quits, anyone else have this problem??

    if you have music in your library, when  tapping on slideshow a menu appears - Turn on music option.  when on a song should display below it - tapping it will take you to your library.
    Photo App will give you access to all albums as set in settings\Photo
    Camera - select camera roll - gives camera roll only but options for everything else
    Slideshow timings is under Settings\Photo

  • 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.

  • HT1399 Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    Why cant I create a playlist for my music/song videos? Continuous play is also not possible in the video app on the phone!!!! previously, prior to IOS 6, it was possible to have both music videos & songs mixed in the same playlist in the music app

    I am back with an update. I turned off Match on both the ipad and the iphone 5. By doing so I was able to sync my Iphone and ipad to itunes and store the music on my devices rather than the slow streaming.  So far this has fixed my problems with the iphone I have all my music, playlist, most of the album art and so on.  But the ipad is a different story.  I have the music and artist but not one playlist  I am sure Apple will have an upgrade soon that will address these issues they are usually very good about this. 
    Now have any of you experienced another problem that has existed as long as I have used faces in Aperture.
    I have over 200 faces and they are organized a-z problem is I have this going on A-Z folowed by a few that start over A-Z followed by another few A-Z and again a 4th time A-Z.  Imagine how difficult it is while I am showing someone the great features of my iphone, ipad and imac.  Which I do talk highly of all the time.  But how do I explain that even though their name starts with a or b or what ever they are not important enough to me to be in the first list of A-Z or even the 2nd or 3rd list of A-Z someohow they are in the 4th section of the list!!!!
    I have managed to get the Imac to fix this but for some reason the IOS devices do not.   Any ideas?
    Thanks Al

    I want to maintain my own apple ID login and he wants his but without losing his songs.....
    how do i transfer the content of my itunes including apps and songs to the new computer.  There doesn't seem to be an easy explanation on here. Do I just plug my iPhone in and it will all transfer?

  • Is it Possible to have videos and music in the same playlist for Apple TV?

    Hi
    I'm new here so apologies if this has been asked before but is it possible to create a playlist that contains music AND videos to play on Apple TV?
    Thanks!
    Mark

    In Settings somewhere there's a Playlist option to show All Playlists - if it's only set for music playlists it may be ignoring any other media.
    Will test later.
