Music with new slideshow feature in iphoto 6

First of all where did the old feature of clicking play for a quick view of your pictures go? Secondly when I create a slideshow the music (itunes icon) won't let me select songs from my itunes if they are in a folder--if I click on recently added or even library --gone is the ability to then chose a song from that folder?
any ideas?
thanks

It's been replaced with the Play button at the bottom
of the Organize/thumbnail window. It allows you to
play a slideshow, with the slideshow options, of any
photos you've selected without creating a slideshow.
It's the old quick play button on steroids.

Part of my question has been answered. I just made my iphoto screen bigger and voila --podcasts and play button appear--so that is solved --thank you
However I still can't select the song I want to play with a slideshow. If I'm in settings and I go to music and click on the library folder in the list it gives it doesn't then show me all of my songs? If i click play it will play the first song in my library?
thanks for your time

  • PC died and in turn my main iTunes library. iPhone was synced to it. Now when I try to connect to another library it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library. Any way around that? Don't want to lose music.

    My PC died and in turn so did my main iTunes library.  My iPhone was synced to the library that is gone.  Now when I try to connect to another library, it tells me the phone must be wiped clean before I can manage music with new library.  Any way around that?  I don't want to lose the music that is on my phone.  I am looking for a way to tell the phone to "forget" the old library and let me start working with a new library. 

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer for just such an occasion.
    Use your backup copy of your computer to put everything on the new one.
    It sounds like you have failed to do this, which is not good at all.
    You will have to transfer your itunes purchases from your iphone.  Authorize your computer for your itunes account 
    About iTunes Store authorization and deauthorization
    Open itunes, plug in iphone, do NOT sync, click File>Transfer Purchases
    When you do sync you will lose your pics ( photo library - synced from your old computer), your itunes content ( music, apps, videos,etc) , your contacts and your calendars.  So do NOT sync yet.  This is why a backup copy is so important.
    Enter one unique contact and calendar entry on your computer.
    When you first sync, you should get the option to merger the data.  Choose it.
    If you want your pics, then you will need to e-mail them to yourself before you sync.  They will not be of the original quality as they are reduced when synced to iphone.
    When all is as goos as it can be, then backup your computer, and always maintain the backup.

  • The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1 not working properly

    The slideshow feature in iphoto 9.5.1,does not start at the first slide no matter what I do

    You're running the slideshow directly from an album or an Event, correct.  This has been a problem for a number of users and there's not been a fix discovered.
    Many found that creating the slideshow in the slideshow mode will eliminate that problem.
    Give us details.

  • I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

    This category is for iPod shuffle.  Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle?  If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
    There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
    Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
    All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
    Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

  • The slideshow feature in iPhoto: Can we record or create a file of it?

    one month into my first Mac and I keep get blowing away by its features. Today I started using the iPhoto and imported all my pictures from my pc into it.
    WOW
    from a dry, dumb, still pictures, using the iPhoto's slideshow tool, I can now have a slideshow so professional that it makes me look like a hot shot director... what with the music and all that as the slideshow runs.
    BUT
    Can I convert the slideshow into a video file or something so I can upload it on my blog?
    PLEASE PLEASE SAY IT IS POSSIBLE AND easy to do this...
    (sorry for the caps... am too excited by seeing the slideshow effects in iPhoto)

    That's very simple...Under "file" choose Export. Choose the resolution/screen size, hit ok. Save to your desktop or somewhere else, then hit export button. A Quicktime movie will be produced and you're set and ready to put this moviejust about anywhere. Good luck.

  • Can't put music with a slideshow...

    Alright . . . Using iPhoto 08 version 7.1.4. I am attempting to make a new slideshow, but when I attempt to open the 'Music' option, nothing happens. Old slideshows that I have made will play with the assigned music, and the new one will use that annoying default tune. But alas, I cannot open the music option for any of my slideshows. Help!
    (I recently updated iPhoto - aside from that I don't know what might be causing the problem. I have tried restarting my computer, but come up against the same problem.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. First try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and try again.
    When you click on the music pane do you see the iPhoto Library icon? If you only see the folder with the default audio look for a small dimple in the horizontal frame and drag downward.
    See lori's screenshot links in this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=446667&tstart=0.
    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. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. 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.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Help with photo slideshow feature

    Hi there
    I'm currently going through a redesign of my site from the antique-word to th enew iweb version. I'm still on a free server so when any page loads up, an advert will load up at the top of each page. Not a problem on the homepage, but its has a consequence on the slideshow feature when opening up an enlarged image. Take a look at my site:
    http://www.turboboost.netfirms.com/mac/index2.html
    .....going to the silverstone page and click on any of the images. You'll notice that the enlarge image loads up, but I can't scroll down to get to the buttons at the bottom.
    Any help, thanks
    Sarfraz

    Did exactly what you said. Opened up a new script
    editor, pasted the line in. Pressed the run button it
    came back saying this:
    File path:to:non Mac SS Enhancement.app: wasn't
    found.
    That because you didn't replace path:to the actual path of non Mac SS Enhancement.app (where you put it)
    It was in my previous post.
    Thought that was odd, so I renamed the app file, and
    did the same with your script and still did the same
    thing. Shoulr it matter where the app file is located
    on my drive.
    The original script stops at the the third line
    down:
    if (bkgnd_style as string) contains "on run" then
    You lost me here, how did you get to there?
    --> if (bkgnd_style as string) contains "on run" then
    did you run non Mac SS Enhancement.app from Script Editor?
    that won't work, the app has to be launched by itself or from another script, and not from Script Editor.

  • Serious flaw with new "Package" feature?

    How could this have been overlooked?
    The Flaw: The new package feature doesn't consider linked images that are in opactiy masks. They are not copied to the new folder.
    Can anyone else confirm this?
    To test:
    Create a new document.
    Link unique image-1
    Create a rectangle with a fill
    Link unique image-2 into rectangle's opacity mask
    Save file
    Then choose Package, everything checked
    When I do this, only 1 image is copied into the new links folder, image-1, while image-2 in the opacity mask is not copied and simply links to the original file/path. 

    Thanks, just submitted the bug, shown below. Hope it's fixed soon, was looking forward to this feature.
    Might also request a feature. I wish the "go-to-link" in the links window actually goes to  linked files that are in opacity masks, selecting it, not just center over it and leav you guessing which shape the opacity mask it is in.
    ******BUG******
    New "Package" feature in Illustrator for Creative Cloud users does not package linked images that are in opacity masks:
    Steps to reproduce bug:
    1. Create new document
    2. Draw Rectangle and fill with color
    3. Enter Rectangle's opacity mask
    4. Place linked image (JPG, PSD) inside opacity the mask.
    5. Exit opacity mask
    6. Save file to desktop
    7. Go to File > Package
    8. Check everything, such as to copy links and create a links folder.
    9. Save to new packaged folder
    Results: New folder with only the AI file and text report. Report shows there are no linked images.
    Expected results: New folder with AI file, Report file that mentions linked image, and  a sub-folder named "links" containing the linked image in the document.
    If the linked image is placed outside the rectangle's opacity mask, then Illustrator will copy the linked image to the new packaged folder. As is, this feature is broken. The first document I tried had 30+ linked images in opacity masks, none were packaged.

  • No new slideshow features in LR Beta 4???

    While it looks like there have been some great updates in the forthcoming version, I'm surprised to not see mention of any new slideshow functionality. LR3 was very disappointing in this regard only letting you use one song and also no ability to apply ken burns type effects etc.  Am I missing something or did Adobe really not make any changes to that module?

  • Cannot sync music with new iphone 5 or podcasts

    This is so frustrating, Podcasts start to download on my phone then tell me theres an error, I can't sync my itunes music with phone either. I've searched on here and appled many techniques. I am subscribed to podcasts. I've checked manually manage music, there's only 2 songs i've imported by CD that I want!!
    Can anyone help? 

    What happens when transferring Podcasts from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process, which is selected under the Podcasts tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
    if I go into my music on my phone and choose 'not on this iphone' the music comes up I choose what I want to download and the same thing as the podcast happens so I connected to itunes via my macbook air and it won't sync!
    The first part is not syncing with iTunes. This is for downloading music on your iPhone that was purchased from the iTunes store - that is not on your iPhone. This does not apply to Music imported into your iTunes library on your computer from a music CD unless you have iTunes Match enabled with your iTunes account.  
    What error message is provided if any when trying to transfer music from your iTunes library on your computer to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process? Manually managing music and videos requires dragging the music from your iTunes library to your iPhone located under Devices in the iTunes source list. Syncing requires selecting Sync Music under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes and making your selections below followed by a sync. What happens when doing this?

  • Adding new Slideshow themes to iPhoto 11

    There are only 12 themes.
    I like some but not entirely and feel limited.
    For example, 'Vintage Prints' theme doesn't show in full color, only mono tone. And the b/w choice that is provides isn't really pure b/w. Mine shows a partially screened color image. I really like the theme but would like my photos in its full color.
    A new color theme with the same background theme and transitions would be nice.
    Another example is 'Shatter' , it only shows photos in landscape orientation. It would auto crop the top and bottom parts of a portrait oriented photo to fit the screen.
    In all, the transitions are nice, but I wish there were some basic choices such as color. If they could provide it for 'Vintage Prints' I don't see why the others could not also have some basic color choices. For example, we could choose a blue, green, red, or b/w tint for 'Scapbook' instead of being stuck with a yellow tone.
    So this led me to wonder if there are plug-ins or add-ons to the out of the box 12 themes.
    If anyone know how to increase the choices, please share it with me. Thank you.
    Mike

    No, there are no add-on themes and the themes are fixed.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold.
    Others, in order of price: PhotoPresenter  $29
    PhotoToMovie  $49.95
    PulpMotion  $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Pro X $299
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs. However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Can't play music with a slideshow

    I've only had a problem adding music since I've upgraded to Maverick on my desktop. Did I miss something ? I go to the music tab for the slideshow, select the track I want from I Tunes libruary as before, select play. The slideshow starts with no music.  I check the volume level is set high, but nothing.  I've tried closing Iphoto then reopening but no change. Any idea's ?

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

  • Problem streaming music with New Apple TV- Anyone else?

    I am new to Apple TV.  I have been using a Sony BDP580 (DLNA) to stream my FLAC digital music via a wired LAN.  It works flawlessly.  I just got the new Apple TV for streaming. I set it up and home shared with my Itunes library containing AIFF digital music via same wired LAN.  It sees everything but each time I start a song, it plays for about 35 seconds and then starts studdering and hestitates, finally stopping altogether and displays an error message saying, "An error occurred loading this content.  Try again later."  This happens everytime, with any song I select.
    I assumed this was a buffering problem, so I tried same songs again but this time paused them immediately after starting the song.  If I paused for 15-20 seconds, I got about 2.5-3 minutes of music before it did it's studdering thing and stopped altogether.  If I paused for 90 seconds or so, I could get thru an entire 10 minute song.  Seems to confirm a buffering problem.
    I have not tried streaming MP3's yet but that is not my intention.
    I realize that the software is new but this is basically unuseable as it currently functions. I am considering trying to return the the Apple TV.  Are there similiar  kinds of problems when new Apple TV software is released?  If so, is Apple quick with fixes and updates? 
    By the way, I also got a new IPAD and love it. 

    I have an older PC with Windows XP Professional on it. I updated to the latest iTunes and I am able to access the photos, etc. on it. However, my Windows 7 PC still does work (since last Apple TV update). Apple TV does not recognize that Home Sharing is turned here. The latter PC has all my current photos on it which I would like share with others on my Apple TV. A fix would be appreciated.

  • Iphone wont sync new music with new Macbook.

    I recently purchased a new Macbook. Through home sharing I manged to transfer my itunes library from my old computer to my new one. Although my device is recognized on my new computer instead of being recognized as "Nicole's Iphone" its simply "Iphone". This morning I downloaded a few new songs to my library and tried to sync them to my phone with no luck. The phone will sync when connected to my new computer but none of the new music is transfered. How do I get my new computer to properly recognize my iphone? Do I need to deactivate itunes on my old computer? Any help would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

    Hello CNicole2000
    Ensure that your new computer is authorized for your Apple ID and then sync to test. If it does not work, then check Manually manage music and videos and then drag and drop the files that you want on your iPhone.
