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?

  • 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?

    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.

  • 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?

  • 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.

    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.

  • Droid 4 No longer able to use USB for Charge Only

    I received the big android update yesterday and now my phone no longer gives me the option to plug in my usb cable for charge only.  It only offers me, Mass Storage, Media Device and Camera modes.  Is the connection for charge only listed somewhere else?  I like being able to charge my phone but still listen to music and none of these options allow that anymore.

    There is a discussion about this on the Motorola forums.  The option really has gone, it's not hidden anywhere.  Note that USB WILL charge in any of these modes, and if you connect as Media Device, your card is still available to the phone and you can play music (just did this to confirm)!
    The issue on the Moto forum is for those who want to charge their phones using a computer at work, where the company/agency policy forbids mounting a disk from a personal device on a work computer.  Previously, Charge Only allowed that, now any of the available choices will mount the phone as a disk.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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 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).

  • Upgraded to Lion and no longer able to burn music cds in itunes... anyone else with same problem?

    does anyone have similar problems, or a solution for this situation?
    thanks in advance

    I bought a three-year-old MacBook from a co-worker, no longer under warranty, that was recently upgraded to Lion. I can't see CDs or DVDs, blank or with media on them. I see other people having similar problems, but no solutions yet from Apple. I know, I should have checked this before I bought the machine, but now it's my problem. Do I need to back out of Lion or does someone know if there is a solution on the horizon?

  • 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.

  • I upgraded my PC to windows 8 and I am no longer able to stream music from itunes through my airport express.

    I still can use the wifi capabilities of the airport express but not the Iplay capability.

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    This works for some users. Not sure why.
    Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

  • I use a wacom tablet and since firefox version 7 I am no longer able to program the buttons on the pen or tablet to perform the 'back' function but the keyboard shortcuts still work

    Mac OS 10.6.8 (snow leopard). Same problem on 2 machines, a Quad core MacPro and a 2010 27" iMac

    Add-ons are the responsibility of their authors. McAfee does not even put their extension on http://addons.mozilla.org you had to install it from their site.
    Disable "McAfee Site Advisor" extension which was just updated to 3.4.0, which probably took it out of the addons block list.
    * "Ctrl+Shift+A" > find McAfee Site Advisor and use "Disable", and then restart Firefox.
    * Do a Google Search no problem
    * It seems that if you re-enable Site Advisor again, and restart Firefox you are okay. At least you know where to look if you get the error again or Google searches slow down.

    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.
