No Music when Airplaying a Slideshow from iOS Photos

The Photos App in iOS 8 has a slideshow feature which (in theory) allows you to play a slideshow of all photos in an album with a variety of transitions and with music selected from your iTunes library.
The slideshow is initiated from a slideshow button in the App. Dialogue shown below.
When playing the slide show on the iPad, it works as advertised...photos cycle and music plays.
As shown, however, you should be able to Airplay the slideshow to an Apple TV.
The issue I've hit is that, although the show Airplays across and cycles through with no issue, the music just refuses to play, so the photos cycle through in silence.
Audio air playing is working as I can play a song using the music App and it streams over the slideshow playing on the Apple TV.
Gear is:
iPad Mini Retina (1st Gen) + iPad 2 both running 8.1.2
Apple TV (2nd Gen) on latest released version
Any thoughts on possible reasons/fixes or is this just an AirPlay bug?

    I've been trying to get my iPhone screen to play onto my macbook.

    There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

  • AirPlay Supported Directly from iOS to AirPort Express?

    Does AirPlay support audio streaming directly from an iOS device (iPhone 4 specifically) to AirPort Express-powered speakers?

    Yes it does. My speakers on my desk are hooked up to an Airport Express so that I can get up & move my laptop around & the music can stay pumping out of the same speakers.
    This is supported in iOS 4.2. It's great. It even turns down the music when a call comes in, because you're technically listening to your iPod. Nice Touch.
    I wonder if I'll ever even boot up my computer again!
    There are new Text Message Sounds too!
    & the volume bar in the multitasking bar (2 slides to the left [as seen on iPad screenshots]) is a great feature too!
    Loving this update so far.
    (after the initial scare of calendar items & music missing - but they were fine after another sync).

  • Sort order changes from ios photos to iphoto

    My photos in an album in the the ios Photo app are in a particular order.  When accessed fro iPhoto, the order is completely different.  How can I mantain the original order?

    I also have have the same issue and have been on the phone with Apple Care....not much help I'm afraid although I do believe something is broken and requires a fix. Here is what I have found (all software up to date and latest OS BTW)....I have sorted all my pictures by Date, if I want to add a straggler I just alter the original date and all is well within the event.  I then "batch change" the event to the tile and event name. So the pictures in the event are named " Holiday 2012  1-xxx.  Again, all is well in iPhoto but when sent to an iPad or Apple TV the sort is as siwilson mentioned above.  I just discovered a temp work around for events with less than 1000 pictures, if I sort by Title I can get them to show correctly on the ATV and iPad. Now what was/is interesting is somethimes they would sort correct and sometimes not.  It turns out that if you sort the event by Title and quit iPhoto and reopen it....it has reverted back to sort by Date. It does that everytime. So what I do is turn home sharing off in iTunes (forces it to look at the photos again), open an iPhoto event and sort by Title.  Then I turn home sharing on in iTunes (leaving iPhoto open) and sync my iPad.  If I want ot stream photos to my ATV I must leave iPhoto open so the sort remains as I set it. If I want to retain the correct sort this is what I need to do each time. So this is a bandage for me until they fix things.  One final about pictures over 1000.....it sorts them as mentioned above with another twist, numbering goes 0001, 1000, 1001, 1002 etc.  @#$% why can't they just sort the way iPhoto presents them?

  • Ow do you burn a slideshow from i photo to a disc

    How do you burn a slideshow from Iphoto to a disc.

    Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
    Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
    Other options:
    Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
    Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
    But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

  • Why no music when I export slideshow?

    I created a slideshow in iPhoto accompanied by music which was downloaded from a friend's disk of noncommercial recordings. The music is in MP3 format.  When I export to Quicktime Movie, no music!  Why not?  Any solutions available? 

    Yes, I have several projects I have done, but I do remember in the last one I did about 6 months ago I thought I had to run through the process of sending it to iDVD twice for it to work.  Don't know why.
    Yes, the volume is up on the movies it made and still no sound throughout the whole movie.
    As far as creating short test movies, how do you just select part of the project to make a video as I have never done that?
    Is there some option or something that I have to select that makes it include the audio when exporting or might there be something I did in error that causes it to mute or ignore the audio when exporting?

  • IPhoto crashes when importing AVI sequences from Digital Photo camera

    I am attempting to use my IPhoto 601.
    I have a huge collection of Photos and many AVI sequences taken with my Digital camera (Canon G5).
    IPhoto crashes when I attempt to import the video sequences.
    I am getting frustrated here.
    Do you have suggestions?
    Should I wait for IPhoto version 10 ?!?!

    Are you importing them into iPhoto directly from the camera? If so, you might want to use Image Capture, found in your Applications folder, to import them instead. I download to a folder on my desktop called "Holding" and then drag the images and movies I want to keep into iPhoto.

  • Mute music when videos play in iPhoto

    I have a presentation that combines photos and a few videos in iPhoto.  I am using music form my itunes library.  How can I get the music to stop playing or mute when the videos play in iPhoto (so we can hear the sounds from the imported video) then start or unmute the itunes music when iPhoto is back to showing photos?  Does that make sense?
    Pardon my ignorance.  Thank you!!
    jay

    That's not a feature in iPhoto.  iDVD has such a feature but doesn't work very well at all.  You might be able to create the slideshow in iMovie and mute the added music during the video clips.  I don't use the latest version of iPhoto so can't help there.  It's easy if you use the older iMovie 6 HD version.

  • Photos Slideshow from iCloud Album Displays comments

    When projecting a slideshow from a shared iCloud album standard iCloud Photo Sharing comments box (you know the like box) appear on bottom left over the projected photos. I can't find anyway to turn this off. There are no settings for this. Must be a bug?

    When Apple support contacted, they acknowledged there was an issue with not all photos syncing
    I haven't seen any issues posted in this forum before about missing pictures in albums, which hasn't been down to the file format being incompatible with tv, take a look at the photos which are missing are they all either JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF or PNG, if not they are not compatible.
    Is any one else having problems?
    I'm not experiencing this problem at all.
    Also when trying to sync a iphoto slideshow, only the music plays on ATV, no images
    Now that is strange, for now I'm going to assume that this might be that some of the photos in these slideshows are the photos that won't show up as per above. You are probably better solving the first issue before giving this one anymore thought.

  • Can't import music to automatically match slideshows in iPod

    I've got a vidio iPod and have loaded playlists and photo albums. The Photos>Music>From iPhoto option doesn't seem to work for me. I guess I don't know how to assign music to the albums in iPhoto. I can set up & save slideshows in iPhoto, but then slideshows don't show as an import option in the iPod dialog. I can import the original album I made the slideshow from, but that doesn't seem to tie the music to it on iPod. I've even made sure that the playlist that I used is imported from iTunes. I know that I can always select the playlist to go with the album display, but it seems that the "From iPhoto" setting should take care of it automatically. Am I missing an iPod preference setting that would allow me to import slideshows with linked music?
    I'm using the latest version of iPhoto ('06 update) and iTunes. This is cross application, so I'll be posting this in iPhoto and iTunes also. Maybe I'm missing a setting in one of those apps.
    Posted here because iTunes app doesn't allow me to automatically sync slideshows from the photo section of the iPod preferences pane.

    I found the solution. I was setting up new slideshows from my albums in iPhoto using the buttons across the bottom of the window. iPod doesn't recognize the slideshows for transfer. To assign music, you must set up a "temporary" sideshow for your albums. The options can be saved, but they remain albums and are transferable with music (as long as the music/playlist assigned is included in the music transfer preference pane also).
    To do this, select your album and use the "Play" button that is on the bottom of the window (you may have to expand the bottom control bar to see the play button). This will bring up options that allow you to select music for the album. Make sure to save settings and then update the photo album in the iPod transfer menu from the iTunes application. Now when you select use music from iPhoto in the iPod Slideshow settings, you will always hear the music you selected for that album.
    Cool feature, but not explained well - I got sidetracked in iPhoto by thinking you had to set up "official" slideshows.

  • Slideshow on IOS 7.1.1

    According to Apple, I can make a slidehsow by
    Create a slideshow from selected photos
    Tap two or more photos or video clips, an album, or an event, and tap .
    Tap Slideshow.
    Under 7.1.1, Slideshow does not show up as an option. The only options are sharing (AirDrop, Message, Mail, iCloud, Facebook, Flickr) and copying or printing.
    Any suggestions?

    Under 7.1.1, Slideshow does not show up as an option. The only options are sharing (AirDrop, Message, Mail, iCloud, Facebook, Flickr) and copying or printing.
    That are the options you are seeing, when browsing the photos in the Photos.app. Are you sure, that you have been using the iPhoto.app and not the Photos.app? You need to be running iPhoto, to create slideshow like this.   In iPhoto you should be seeing the screen below - look at the line "Create a Project".

  • Slideshow NOT on Photo page

    Is it possible in iWeb 08? I want to have a slideshow available on my Welcome page and not have to force visitors to click to another page to see it. In an ideal world, I'd want to have a video as well: am I limited to only having such media on the template pages dedicated to each media type? This is kind of a deal breaker for my site . . . Thanks for any guidance!

    No. Even though you can copy and past the thumbnail box with the slideshow from a photos page to a welcome page when you publish the graphic files used for the forward, back and other controls of the page do not get carried over. Also I found that the slideshow window didn't size properly to include the thumbnail tray at the bottom. This is what I ended up with for a quick demo: Modern Theme Welcome page with photo page contents pasted into it.
    Why not use a flash based slideshow on the welcome page. Here are a number of examples that can be added and scaled to suit your needs:
    SimpleViewer and Flash Album Exporter
    Flash Album Exporter Postcard and AutoViewer Slideshow Themes
    Jalbum - there are over 100 skins/themes for Jalbum. It's free
    Conveyor Belt Slideshow

  • My printer has stop printing from the photo tray. I need to place the photo stock in the main tray

    I've a HP PhotoSmart Plus printer B210a.  The printer will no longer print from the photo tray.  I'm still able to get prints; but I must place the photo stock in the main tray.  It becomes a problem, because I sometimes forget the photo stock is the main tray and I waste photo stock when I do my regular printing and only get part it because the photo was still in the tray.  Anyway to fix this?

    Hi there wmcook,
    Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are you using and are there any errors when attempting to print from the photo tray?
