Number of photos in iphoto 6 Slideshow

Hi. I've owned my Mac for 4 days (never owned a computer in my life before this). I'm trying to create a slideshow to post on the internet for my family to view as most of them live so far away.
I moved all the pictures i wanted in the slideshow into the Slideshow folder, and i was editing them (rotating them) until i got to picture #16. iPhoto won't let me even VIEW the pictures after #15. I previewed the actual slideshow itself and sure enough, it stopped after 15 despite the fact there are 37 pictures total in the slideshow folder.
I've looked and looked for a place to edit the length of a slideshow but can't seem to find it. Can anybody help me? I find it hard to believe it's impossible to create a slideshow longer than #15 pictures.
I can't sum up my life in 15 pictures. It was hard enough to trim it down to the 37 i choose.
Thanks in advance for any help.

shambrajennings:
Where did the photos come from? I see you're at 10.4.7. iPhoto had issues with image files that had no color profile. However, the 10.4.9 update and Quicktime 7.15 updates fixed that. I suggest you download the 10.4.9 COMBO updater and Quicktime 7.1.5 updater from here, run them and the repair disk permissions with Disk Utility.
If you still have problems, download the "Embed sRGB Profile" from Toad's Cellar, unzip it and place on the Desktop. The locate the Originals folder in your iPhoto Library folder (in your Pictures folder) and drop it onto the application. That will embed the sRGB profile into every file. Then give the slideshow another try.
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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Viewing Photos without iPhoto? Slideshow in Finder?

How can I view a large number of Photos without importin to iPhoto. Mail has a slideshow option for photo attachements, but I cannot find a similar function in the Finder.
I have received a CD with 1000+ photos. I'd like to preview them and copy the few I want to keep into a separate folder for importing into iPhoto. I have tired the thumbnail, but even making the thumbnails as large as Finder allows doen't give the detail I am looking for.
Thanks.

Weird...I don't seem to have a limit for the # of photos I can have open in preview: I once had 4300 open at once. I can even view all of those in a slideshow. But, I can't use the index sheet feature when all of those are open. I can only open about 600 photos and still be able to use the index sheet. That's probably a limitation due to my screen resolution, though. But, it is really slow (even with my new macbook) when I click on the index sheet because it has to resize all 600 photos at once. You are probably limited due to your computer (I'm not sure which of the three listed ones you use for this, but they are not as fast as my MacBook).

Why is the number of photos in the Photos app different than the number of photos in iPhoto on the Mac?

I have an iPhone 4S and a MacBook Air. On the MacBook Air, in iPhoto, the number of photos is 3,563 (this is the number that appears next to the word Photos under library in the left hand pane). When I synch my phone with iTunes, I've selected Synch Photos from iPhoto and the number that follows that line is 3,546 photos. I have checked All Photos, albums, Events, and Faces.
On my iPhone under Settings, General, About, there are 4,293 Photos shown (the Camera Roll is empty).
I don't understand why these three numbers are not identical. Anyone know?

What version of iPhoto and system are you running? What mode are you in, i.e. Events, Photos?
If it's the Photos mode the number at the bottom will represent the number of photos displayed in that mode or the number of photos selected in that mode. The number will match the number next to the photos mode only when there are no photos in that mode that are selected.
If you click on the Events icon and then back on the photos icon the numbers should match.

Maximum number of photos in iPhoto 5

When I had my older G4 and older version of iPhoto (3.0 I think), scrolling and other functions would be extremely slow if my library go too big. So I split my iPhoto library into several smaller ones using iPhoto Library Manager. Now that I have a fast new iMac G5 and the latest version of iPhoto, I would like to merge libraries into one for convenience. With this hardware and OS 10.4.3, is there a suggested maximum number of photos not to exceed in the main iPhoto library for reasons of performance? I am not really a power user, but don't want scrolling and dragging to take forever like they did on the G4...

Hi rsm,
How many images are you talking about here?
How many images in each Library do you have?
What is the make of your camera?
Steve Jobs told us 20,000, but we have really got mixed results on that number.
Depending on your camera, it can make huge Makernote files that will considerably slow down iPhoto to the point of uselessness.
You can do a search within iPhoto 5 here in the forum for "Makernote" so you will understand the problem.

Number of Photos on iPhoto

What is the max amount of photos that iPhoto can hold? I have about 5,000 and wonder if I should burn them to a disk and start over again. Any thoughts?
Connie

I have 2gb RAM on my MacBook and an iPhoto library with nearly 50,000 images. It runs ok as long as I don't really have any other big applications running at the same time. If I run it with iTunes open (my iTunes library is pretty large) then it certainly becomes less responsive, though still perfectly manageable.
The big slow down for me comes from having a lot of distinct Places. When I click on the Places button to go to the world map view it can take around a minute to draw - I have 1600 places created.

Ordering of photos in iPhoto 11 slideshows

A few years ago while using iPhoto 09 I made several slideshows from albums where I had manually arranged the photos. I simply selected all the photos in the album and created a new slideshow from that album and the order of images was retained exactly. Now I am using iPhoto 11 on MAC OS X 10.6.8 and the images get all rearranged once I add them to an existing slideshow or create a new slideshow from the album. I am able to move them back into order but it is highly inconvenient compared to how easy it is to arrange the images in an album. Additionally, the "View" options are all disabled and greyed out on the menu bar.
Am I doing something wrong, or did iPhoto 11 lose some functionality that iPhoto 09 had?
Thanks.

Maximum number of photos in iPhoto?

I have almost 20,000 photos in my iPhoto, and I have noticed that when I open iPhoto, and during some processes, I get the beach ball for a bit. I have been thinking about splitting my library into two or more libraries. I have rebuilt everything many times, that does not help. Anyone out there have some thoughts on this?
thanks, Bruce

In addition to Terence's excellent suggestions look at the tip at the end of my signature. It may help prevent severe organizational loss due to damage/corruption of the iPhoto database file, Library6.iPhoto.

A number of imported photos from iphoto in imovie project all show the same image whilst the preview before dragging them in is correct. What could be the problem?

A number of photos from iphoto used in imovie project all show the same image when playing back. The previw when clicking and dragging them and also the pictures in the storyline. Yet when playing the clip a previous immage keeps on appearing. What could be the problem?

You created a mess and there is no solution - with the actions you have taken those photos are gone unless you have access to them from some other source - they existed in two place - in your iPhoto library and on your backup drive - you have traded the backup drive and restore an earlier iPhoto library so all you have is what you have

Maximum number of photos in dvd slideshow - what's my best option?

I have made just one slideshow dvd - it contained 3 different slideshows, one of 90 photos, one of 120, one of 146 photos.
Now I am doing a slideshow for the celebration of life for a friend's late husband.
My problem: she has given me about 500 (maybe more) photos. I've scanned over 300 and have lots to go.
I want this to be just one slideshow so that my friend can have it playing (and looping) throughout the gathering).
Before I proceed with this huge project: HOW BIG is too big for a slideshow? I was going to do one iPhoto slideshow and then export it to iDVD. But I'm starting to wonder if this is unmanageable.
PLEASE help. What is my best course of action? How many photos can I cram into a slideshow? (I'll be adding music as I did on my previous project.)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you create the slideshow in iPHoto there is no limit on the number of photos. However, there is a bug with the latest iPhoto regarding adding music to slideshows and exporting as Quicktime or directly to iDVD. There are a couple of workarounds for that.
1 - create the slideshow w/o music, add it to an iDVD slideshow (like you would a photo)
Click to view full size
and add the music in iDVD.
2 - create the slideshow w/o music, export as a QT movie, 640 x 480. Join the music together into one new audio file with Garageband or the free Audacity, and join the two with Quicktime Pro.
You can have more than 99 photos in an iDVD slideshow but will get a pause/hesitation at slide 100, 198, and every 99 slides thereafter. That's because iDVD has to set the chapter number of slide 100 back to 1 (part of DVD international standards). If burned to good media at 4x or less you can minimize the effect although it depends a lot on the DVD player. Some handle it better than others.
FWIW I've found that I get better screen image quality when creating the slideshow in iDVD. The downside is that there's no Ken Burns effect and you can only have one transition type for the slideshow.
If you have QT Pro and want to go the join route post back and I'll describe the workflow.

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

I have a large number of photos imported into iPhoto with the dates wrong. How can I adjust multiple photos (with varying dates) to the same, correct, date?

If I understand you correctly, when you enter a date in the Adjust Date and Time window, the picture does not update with the date you enter. If that is the case then something is wrong with iPhoto or your perhaps your library.
How large a date change are you putting in? iPhoto currently has an issue with date changes beyond about 60 years at a time. If the difference between the current date on the image and the date you are entering is beyond that range that may explain why this is not working.
If that is not the case:
Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
Home > Library > Caches > com.apple.iphoto
Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There may be more than one. Remove them all.)
---NOTE: to get to the "home > library" hold down option on the keyboard and click on "Go" > "Library" while in the Finder.
Let me know the results.

Why is it no longer possible, since the iPhotos upgrade to 9, to select a number of photos and "hold on to them" when changing to a different left-margin "view"?

There has been a downgrade since iPhotos was… upgraded.
Before iPhotos was upgraded to 9, It USED to be that
IF you chose a photo or a number of photos WITHIN an event
(ensuring that they were engulfed in yellow or blue),
and THEN went to the left margin and clicked on Photos
in order to view the ENTIRE library's photos
(not just those in that particular event),
the selfsame photos would REMAIN chosen in the LARGER context.
That is no longer the case.
And that was very useful, because
if you wanted to move a batch of photos within one event
to within another event, that was the easiest way to do so
— whereas now, we have to search for and "find" them all over again.
When I go "back" to Photos, I not only lose the selected images,
say from March 2009, I end up at a totally different place,
say in October 2006, and I have to do lots more "work" finding
the photos again then used to be the case.

Flag the Photos.
Switch to Events View
Select the Target Event
Events menu -> Add Flagged Photos to Selected Event

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos??

Why can I no longer add photos my iPhoto book? Is there a limit to the number of photos? Must I delete unused photos?

This is book # 13 and I've not encountered this problem before. I am dragging photos into the sourse pane but they are not imported. I have other books w/ over 700 pics (not all used) but this has only 300+ so far. I've copied the book to a pdf and it looks as if I'll have to redo it unless there's another solution.

Re emailing photos from iPhoto: after I create an event, I later add captions, each one beginning with a number. I'd like to email a set of these photos in the order they are captioned, not the original order of the event. How do I do this?

I take a number of photos of an event which I download into iPhoto as an Event. I later add captions to some of the photos in the Event, and I want to share them by email IN THE ORDER OF THE CAPTIONS RATHER THAN IN THE ORDER THEY APPEAR IN THE EVENT. Each caption begins with a unique number followed by text. How can I email them in the order of the caption numbers?

You can't, block capitals notwithstanding. Try using numbered Filenames. But remember how it's all received at the other end is entirely based on the settings on the recipients machine, so it might well be moot.

The number of photos in an event does not match between iPhoto and iTunes

Hi,
Not sure what's up but the number of photos in one of my events in iPhoto is 19 but on iTunes it shows (and syncs) as only 9.
Any ideas?
Jennifer

Not that I've heard -- but it looks like 250,000 for iPhoto -- a bunch

iPhoto makes sharing photos faster and simpler than ever before. It also adds great features, including Photocasting, support for up to 250,000 photos, easy publishing to the web, special effects, and new custom cards and calendars.

Syncing iPhoto albums to iPhone 4-is there a limit to number of photos in album

I was able to sync a small album with 69 photos from iPhoto to the iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3.5 without a problem. First I synced it as "Last Import" with no edits whatsoever, fresh from downloading from the camera, and then I synced as an album with a number of edits. No problem. When I try to sync an album with about 1100 photos in, only about a quarter of the photos are synced. This not a problem with my first generation 8GB iPod Touch running iOS 3.1.3. What gives?

Same problem! I have 530 pics in one Album - but when I sync my to my iPhone 4 - only 56 of the pics are transferred. I have done a full Restore on the iPhone and Rebuilt the database on iPhoto. This appears to be happening only since Lion 10.7.1.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
AK
