My music not playing with slideshow

Since updating my iPhoto to version '11  version 9.5,  the music I select to play with my slideshows does not play.  The canned theme music does play however.

I had problems with some 3rd party slideshow apps when I had the library on an external HD. However, I'm not sure I moved it there like I told you to do.
If you have Quicktime Pro there is a fairly easy way to add your music to the slideshow. It goes like this:
1 - export the slideshow from iPhoto without the music.
2 - if you have more than one music track to use join them together into a new file with an audio editor like Garageband, Amadeus Pro or Audacity.
3 - open your music track with QT Pro 7.
4 - Open the slideshow movie with QT Pro.
4 - in the slideshow window type Command+A (select all) and then Command+C (copy).
5 - go to the slideshow window in QT Player and select Edit->Add to Selection and Scale.
6 - save the merged item as a self contained movie.
This will add the slideshow to the music and scale the slideshows length to match the music. Don't do it the other way around as the music timing will be altered changing the speed and pitch of the music.
With this method and if you have more than one track you can overlap and fade between tracks eliminating the dead air that often results between tracks. It also will assure that the music will end with the last slide. NOTE: I add a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshows so the last slide fades to black and the music ends on the black slide.

  • Music not playing in slideshows

    I need help with getting the music to play in my slideshow, its not playing at all. My music is in .mp3 or .m4a format and neither will play. I cant get them to work at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

    Bazmikter,
    You also may want to post your questions in more detail (include the steps you have taken) in the iMovie forum. This forum is a general iMac forum, while someone here may know the answer you increase your chances by posting in the forum for the app you are having troubles with.

  • Music not playing in slideshow

    In IOS app iPhoto I makes a slides how and then preview it. I cannot hear the music.  I have tried the canned theme music and music from my own music files. HELP!!

    Had a similar problem. It resolved when I closed both iPhoto and iTunes, then opened iTunes before reopening iPhoto and reselecting music and applying to slideshow.
    A week later I have a new problem. Although the custom playlist still exists, the slideshow only plays a track from Theme Music (which was 3rd track in playlist along with 2 songs from iTunes). I have deleted the tracks from Custom Playlist and added them in again, clicked on Apply, and it still only plays the one track from Theme Music (the same track selected automatically when I first chose the theme for the slideshow). What to do...

  • Selected music not playing in slideshow

    I have four tracks from my iTunes folder I want to play in a slideshow. I have followed directions but only the first song plays and it plays over and over, ignoring the other 3 songs. Anyone else have this problem.

  • 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?
    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.

  • Yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problem

    yahoo music videos do not play with v4 - rolled back to v3.6 and had no problems.

    DustinMedlam, I have the same exact problem. I started using my Iphone 4S for shooting video about 2 months ago and tranferred them to my Windows machine with Windows 7. I use the clips in Sony Vegas pro 11 and make short movies. I upgraded to ios 6 last week and every video that I shoot with my iphone 4S now is not usable in Quictime or Sony Vegas???? My old videos from before ios 6 play just fine and I can use them in Sony Vegas with no problems. The only way to play the files is with Windows media player. this does me no good as I just began making short films and now I can not use any of the video I have shot since ios 6. I also have a Samsung Galaxy S2 and I shoot video with it and use the clips in Sony Vegas with no issues!?? I can not believe this is not BLOWING up on the internet like the WIFI issue is..... What do we do? All my video gear is for my Iphone not my galaxy S2. This is very annoying. I also notice that no one from Apple response to these support forums. So why are they available?? What a JOKE!

  • ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

    Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Music stopped playing during slideshow

    My slideshow was previously working fine. Playlist I selected would play no probelm with each slideshow. Have played them numerous times. Now suddenly the music will not play. Slideshow runs fine, Play music box is checked, correct playlist is chosen etc, etc...but no more sound. It is like the mute button is on. ITunes was just recently update, could this be the problem?

    Hi Doug,
    Thanks for the reply. No we haven't had any recent updates in that department...not that we recall anyhow...sorry we aren't that techie. Our new Mac just seems to do everything on its own! I should mention that for each slideshow there are about 2-4 songs each. Out of the total (about 15 songs) there is the odd one that will start playing in the middle of the show..so about 3 songs that do play..odd. I didn't realize that quicktime has anything to do with the iphoto? As I've never seen it pop up or anything?? Any more advice or help would be appreciated!
    Thanks, Jen

  • Safari 3.1.2 will not play iweb slideshows

    Hi All
    I have never done this, so I hope I ask the right question.
    Safari on my G5 will not play any slideshows, made with iWeb. And this is not a problem only with my websites, but from others too! I have two pc's at home as well and I have checked in different places. The slideshows are playing OK on those machines. I have been trying to get this resolved for weeks now, trying to find answers on forums, but haven't found any. And 'yes' I have turned plugins etc, on in the prefs. Hope someone can help.
    Harry

    Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
    In the Safari Menu, Empty Caches, quit Safari, then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

  • Music Not Played Recently

    In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
    This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
    "Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
    There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
    In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
    Question is:
    Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
    If not, why not?
    If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

    anyone?

  • Album title shows and Music plays, but photos will not play in slideshow

    iPhoto 8 latest version
    Macbook Pro
    10.6.8
    i'm working on a clients computer and he is having issues when he selects images within an album anywhere between 3-10 photos. Clicking on Slideshow button to start it. It will come up with the full black screen with slideshow settings - hitting play will start the music and show the album name..after that its a blank screen; none of the photos are coming up.
    I tried selecting other images in another album and same issue.
    I closed iPhoto and removed com.apple.iphoto.plist to the desktop and restarted iphoto with no change.
    The only other thing I can think of is rebuilding the library. but I do not see any issues with the images within the album.
    My client said that he noticed this after his son-in-law attached his iPad to the machine. But nothing was changed. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    What do you see if you try to edit one of those photos?  Do you see this in the window?
    Click to view full size
    As a first attempt at a fix make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Select the options identified in the screenshot. 
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Airplay does not work with slideshows and music - get the slides but no music with iPad Air2 and ios 8.1.22

    iPad Air 2 with celluar with ios8.1.2 will not airplay with apple tv slideshows with music. I see the slides on the TV but do not hear the music. This works on the iphone 5s with iOS 8.1.2 and with my other iPad which is on iOS7.
    This problem was reported on Nov 21, 2014 and other people had reported it prior to me.
    When will this be fixed by Apple - it worked in the past and does not work now.
    Should i return my iPad Air 2 and get my money back?

    Problem seems to be resolved. Should have thought of it myself ;-) thanks so far!

  • Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

    Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

    I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

  • Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

    i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
    now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
    what did i do wrong.

    Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
    http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
    If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.

  • Music not playing in iTunes after iOS5/Itunes 10.5 updates.

    Hi,
    I recently updated both my iTunes to 10.5 and iPod touch 4g to iOS 5.  I updated on my laptop (which i am on now, and have the issue with).  The laptop is running 10.6.8, and has no music on the hard drive.  I plug my iPod into the laptop to use the lap top speakers and play the music through itunes.  I have never had a problem since updating.  Now half of my music is not playing from the computer, however it plays fine directly from the iPod speakers.  When I updated I erased all music on the iPod and started over.  Any ideas on what the problem is here?
