Music won't take to slideshow

Hi,
I have two problems really, the first thing I noticed was that when I set music to a slideshow, to fit to slideshow, it wasn't working properly, ie: it rushed through the last four photos.
When I tried to change the track to another one with the slideshow it didn't give me the usual message that it was reorganizing the photos to fit the music....yet it worked anyway.
Now I have the new problem of going back into iphoto after rebooting and none of the slideshows have music to them - which they previously did.
When I try to allocate a track of music to a slideshow it just does'not take...
I need a solution to fix this. I wondered if reloading my ilife disk might help, but thought I would ask here first.
Cheers

Greetings,
Does this issue only occur with 1 slideshow or with new ones you create?
Sounds like you might have an issue with your iPhoto Library. Is your iPhoto Library on a Mac formatted hard drive (like the built in drive of your computer)?
To try and resolve your issue:
Ensure all your software is up to date (Apple Menu > Software Update).
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
If the issue persists try rebuilding your iPhoto Library following this article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638. Use the bottom 3 rebuild options.
If the issue still persists it might be an issue with the iTunes library you are pulling your music from. You can rebuild it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451
If all those steps don't take care of the issue you can reinstall http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3249.
Hope that helps.

  • Music won't export with slideshow

    I've created a slideshow with music that works perfectly in Iphoto. When I export to Itunes or IDvd the slideshow looks perfect, but no music is playing with it. I double-checked to make sure my playlist is selected and applied.

    Try creating the slideshow using another account to see if the problem is repeated there. If it is not, then the issue is in your account.
    If you can't get things to work correctly here is an idea for a workaround. Create the slideshow in iPhoto, but do not use any music. Import into iDVD as a slideshow, and add your music there.
    You can also report your difficulties to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html
    I hope this helps.

  • Trying to add audio narrative to a Slideshow via vocal track on Garageband-won't take. How can I do this for illiterate friend?

    I have set up a Slideshow on iDVD with the intention of adding a narrative and burning a dvd, so a friend of mine who can neither read nor write will be able to watch the pictures while listening to the narrative.  I have produced a narrative by using the Male Vocal track on Garageband, but when I try to drop the result into the Audio box at the base of the Slideshow Edit Window, it won't take. I know that only certain types of audio will work, but I thought Garageband would do the job.
    If I can't do it that way, how can I make a suitable narrative without putting it separately onto a cassette tape?
    Using an iBook G4, running OSX 10.4.11– the latest system I can run.

    Save the Garageband track as an aiff or mp3 file and use that.

  • Sed an iPad from someone and I want to go into App Store to update apps, but when I click on the update button, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine?

    I purchased an ipad from someone and i set up my apple id for it but when i go to the app Store to update apps, i click on the update button for an app, the previous owners' apple Id username appears and it won't take my apple id password. How do I replace their username w/ mine? It doesn't give me an option... Help! Please!

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

  • Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download?

    Just had replacement iPhone 4S but my music won't download? All my purchased albums are showing on iTunes Store and my iPad but won't download onto new iphone. I just bought another album on my phone and that won't download either. My phone is on IOS 6.1.3 iPad is on IOS 7.0.4

    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • IPod won't take 1.2 update from iTunes 7

    Hoping someone can help. Upgraded to iTunes 7 but iPod won't take the 1.2 update. When the prompt comes up, I select install and it looks on my computer monitor like it's working, but in about 2 seconds the "Do Not Disconnect" logo on my iPod goes away, despite the fact that the computer is, in theory, trying to update the iPod. Eventually, it tires out and I've gotten the can't update error -50 message. Does the same thing when I try to Restore. Have reset, uninstalled iTunes twice, reinstalled and also reinstalled original iPod disc. Tried most everything on iPod support page.
    Help? Also am seeing very little album artwork which I'm assuming is related.
    iPod 5th Gen   Windows XP Pro  

    (1) next time you connect your ipod, decline to update and put enable disk mode. Then apply the update.
    (2) If that does not work, attach the ipod, format the drive, start itunes, restore & update.
    be warned:
    Method 2 will erase out your ipod and require taht you reload all the music from your pc to the ipod.
    I ended up doing (1) with a nano and (2) with a 3G

  • Music won't burn

    Hello~ My problem is my music won't burn the last 10 minutes of my IDVD project. The music stops 36 minutes in on a burned disc. The music works fine when I watch it in IDVD or in Disk utility, but when I go to burn the movie (in IDVD or disk utility), it cuts out the music every time. I tried slowing the speed to 4x and even 2x to experiment.
    The file is a slide show that includes a portion that is a movie, so I re-entered the movie to the project. This didn't work. I also bought a Verbatim DVDs as I read they were recommended in these discussion threads. Also didn't work.
    I need to get this project done very soon for my mother-in-law & I'm starting to get distressed. Could anyone please, please help me? Thank you very much.

    Hi! Thanks for your response!
    Most of the songs were from itunes & 2 were from cd. I tried to create AIFF versions of the songs & use those, but that didn't work.
    Another thing I realized might be important to mention is the music cuts out a few minutes after the movie portion ends (during slideshow period).
    Thanks so much

  • My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    My 3gs won't take pics. It says it's full and to delete pics/vids, but I only have 30 pics and I've had tripple that plus vids and it took pics fine. How can I get my camera working again?

    The number of pictures/videos on the device is irrelevant.  If there is not available space on the device, there is no way to take pictures.  Pictures, videos, music, iBooks, and any other media share the same space.
    Might be a good idea to manage the content on the device going forward so that there is always space available.
    Try not to fall into the misconception that many others experience, believing that the iPhone is a storage device, it simply is not.  Instead it is intended to be a mirror of the content on the computer.

  • HT1386 Some of my music won't play on my iPhone

    Shortly after upgrading to the latest OS (7.0.2), I've noticed some of my music won't play on my iPhone.  I can see the songs but they have a red circle with a square inside it next to them and I can't do anything with them.  I have plenty of space and there's not "downloading from the iCloud" option. 
    Problem 2...some other people are having this problem and recommend wiping the music off my phone and re-syncing via iTunes but when I plug my phone in (or sync via wi-fi, either one) to sync, it hangs up on "waiting for changes to apply" and never wipes the music.  I've looked around at other complaints about this issue and none of the recommended "fixes" work.
    I assume this is going to require an OS patch of some sort.  What's the ETA on this and is there a way to get around it now?

    I have this problem too but all the songs that wont play arent downloaded from the itunes store theyre from another site

  • My iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls. Everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voice mail. What's gone wrong?

    For some reason my iPhone 4 won't take incoming calls and everytime someone phones me it goes straight to voicemail what's gone wrong??

    Look at the AT&T VVM User Guide for help setting up your visual voice mail.
    If you still have problems, contact AT&T Customer Service at 1-800-331-0500 and ask them to check that your account is provisioned for an iPhone 4.

  • I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    Model Name: iMac

    I reset my apple ID password here on the website, but my computer isn't recognizing my new password. what should I do? I just need to update my adobe flash player but it keeps asking me for my password but won't take my new password I just updated.

    "If you've forgotten the Apple ID password how did you log in to make the last post?"
    Exactly! The password I used to log on here and write my post I figured was the same Apple ID password I would use to reset my computer login password. But my computer isn't recognizing it as the correct password so it wont let me update my login password. I have 2 user accounts on my computer.
    As far as the link you provided, I already looked to that for help earlier. It states:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Users & Groups, click the lock to unlock it, then provide an administrator name and password. Select a user, then click Reset Password.
    I did these steps, but I don't remember my admin password. The question is: How do I reset my admin password so I can reset my log in password.
    Is my admin password the same password I use to log onto this website to post questions? If so, like I said previously, I already reset that password and my computer isnt recognizing it.

  • IPhone 5 apps and music won't download. Both say waiting

    My iPhone 5 running iOS 7 latest beta won't download apps. My phone worked just fine yesterday then today my apps won't download or update and my music won't download it stays in the "waiting" status and I've done hard reset logged in and out of my Apple ID and nothing changes.

    No official way to fix this until the full version of iOS 7 is out in mid September, but for now the quick way to download and update is to do the following:
    •Hold your finger on the icon of the app that is stuck on waiting, until wiggle mode is enabled, and remove the app
    •Plug in your iOS device to iTunes and sync
    •Reinstall the application from the App Store and installs and upgrades should work again
    •If not, rinse and repeat this process

  • A while ago I wanted to download/buy an album on my iPhone 4 but I didnt have enough space so I deleted some stuff and downloaded the album. well ever since then my other music won't play, only that one album will play and none of my other music will play

    a while ago I wanted to buy an album but I didn't have enough space on my phone, (iPhone 4) so I deleted some things off my phone and downloaded the album. well ever since then all my other music won't play, only that one album will play. I thought it was because I havent been able to get the software update on my phone but I don't have enough space for that either. I deleted almost all my photos, all my apps, i deleted almost all the info that is on the apps that you can't delete, but it says I have too much music and I only have 45 songs!!!!!!!! and I don't want to delete them because that's what I'm trying to listen to but I can't because of whatever reason. PLEASE HELP!!

    1, you can't at the moment, though with iOS 5 in the Autumn, from http://www.apple.com/ios/ios5/features.html#photos :
    Even organize your photos in albums — right on your device
    2, by removing it from you synced from and re-syncing. Only photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad (either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view)
    3, the location of the photos that you synced to the iPad should be listed on the iPad's Photos tab when connected to your computer's iTunes.
    4, you can copy the photos from your iPad to your computer : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083 . You should also be able to delete them from the iPad as part of the transfer process to your computer, and it's then your choice whether to add them to your sync photo list so as to copy them back to the iPad. Copying them to your computer would allow you to organise them into folders and therefore be able to sync them back into separate albums.
    5, I don't use Dropbox either. There are some third-party browser apps in the iTunes App Store that allow you to download pages so that you can view them when offline e.g. Atomic Web (the whole page is saved within Atomic Web, it doesn't place a photo into the Photos app)
    6, deleting content should help. If you remove an app from your iPad then you also remove the content that it's got on the iPad - so if you then decide to reinstall it back onto the iPad then you will need to manually add back any content that you want in it. None of the Apple built-in apps (including Photos) can be removed from the iPad
