Off Topic: Slideshow Software for PC?

My wife has been using iPhoto at her preschool to create slide shows, and the other teachers are really impressed. ("It must have taken you forever to use powerpoint for that!" )
The first thing I have my wife tell them is, of course, "Get a Mac".
Failing that, are there any programs for Windows that make it just as easy to create slideshows?

We don't do Political Correctness here or windows.
However check to see if Picasa has slideshow capability.

  • Slideshow Software for 2 External Displays

    I'm hooking up 2 different displays to a new Mac Mini. I'm looking for software I can use to run different continuous slideshows on each display. Anyone have any experience with this and have any software recommendations?

    Hello,
    Wondering if you had success with this? I am also trying to display a slideshow/movie on two large 42in displays that will play continuosly. They are to run in a community/kids cafe all day/everyday. Ideally, I am setting it to remote into this computer and control the content which displays, but initially I want to have a slideshow play in a loop. Any help, guidence or suggestions would be awesome. I am relatively proficient with mac offerings and the platform. I can be reached outside this forum at [email protected] THANK YOU for any help you provide me!
    Cheers,

  • Off topic- any tools for designing the architecture

    Hi
    I know this is not the right place for this question, but does anyone know if there are any tools available that I can use to draw the architecture of my application ( I don't mean UML tools).
    I want to show, for instance, how my application communicates with a database and internet.
    thanks

    If you just wanna draw the charts, "Visio" is a good tool.
    Don't know how much, but it costs quite a bit of money.
    Cheers

  • Off Topic - Web Hosting for Resellers

    I am have been a reseller for Media3.com for over 6 years
    now. They have
    been pretty decent until recently. My pet peeves are huge
    amounts of SPAM
    that come through to all of my accounts (Media3's SPAM
    solution is
    non-existant and they want me to use Postini.com to help wipe
    out SPAM which
    completely eliminates any profit I make from my accounts),
    backed up mail
    servers that take a long time to deliver mail and error
    messages about mail
    not being delivered due to a time-out from the server.
    I am desperate to solve some of these issues. Can I get some
    recommendations
    on good web host providers that have decent plans for
    resellers? Thanks
    much.

  • Web Portfolio Software Advice (off topic)

    hi all.
    i have been really happy with my ability to organize a very large amount of images in Aperture and to publish them easily to Flickr (among other things).
    this has now freed me up to focus on creating a new website for an old website that needs updating. right now i have just created a /link/ for the pictures on the webpages which takes the viewer to the flickr albums.
    i am looking at "themes" such as the WordPress Photography theme (http://theme.wordpress.com/themes/photography/) and i am also looking at sites that are using the "autoviewer" or "autoviewer pro" software.
    http://www.iloveconcrete.net/drive1/drive1.html
    http://www.simpleviewer.net/autoviewer/
    anyway, i am familiar with using wordpress UI but i am desperately trying to find a method where i don't have to use the wordpress image uploader. i guess the holy grail would be to just "publish" album "code" out of Aperture that i would then embed into a WP theme website which i am sure i could create in a week or something.
    anyway, does anyone know of anywhere i can ask such questions or get some leads on keeping this workflow simple but create a nice website at the same time?
    TIA and apologies for the off-topic post.

    I liked "Waves" and thought most of the sounds were good- the piano was very realistic to my casual listen. I did however find the backing strings of the first couple of minutes to be fairly "synth" sounding, maybe that's what you wanted, but to me it could have sounded more like an actual string ensemble. Later on it seemed to be working more to my liking with the strings playing individually.
    It's not the most expensive thing out there, but I have been using IK Multimedia's Philharmonik, which is not good for a lot of things, but it does really capture a real "woody" and "dry" sound on the cellos, violas, etc.
    I also tend to agree that MySpace could be a good addition for you. And I notice that your vox on the podcast was only coming at me from the left.
    Keep it up! It's a lot of fun to do- I'll send you a thing I wrote with Philharmonik and Sibelius 5, it's sort of just me learning those and not really finished, still, you'll get an idea of what Philharmonik sounds like.

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Have a great day,
    Mario

  • Airplay mirroring problem:when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks

    when i change slide mirroring from off to on ,my new i pad lost wi fi connection and apple tv lost wifi connection:ihave last software for both.Can u help me?thanks.
    when i use i pad with apple tv for see my photo,youtube and movies all ok.

    I suspect that the problem is in your router. Do NOT consider your router to be blameless if some other devices seem to work with it.
    Try restarting your WiFi router by removing power for 30 seconds. Don't just turn it Off. On many routers that doesn't really do anything but put the router into standby mode. If that does not help check for a firmware update for your router. If none exists which corrects the problem consider replacing the router.
    There is a chance that some services turned on in your router could be causing problems. Look for a setting called QoS (Quality of Service). If ON turn it OFF.
    If you need more help please give the make, model, and version of your WiFi router and how you have it configured.

  • What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    What is the best software for burning a large slideshow with 500 photos and music to DVD?

    Are you talking about strictly burning an already put-together slideshow or composing one and then burning it?
    My all time favorite slide show maker is Photo to Movie; you can then burn it from there or get it into iMovie and/or iDVD for the "finishing" touch. My favorite burn software is Toast, although you can use iMovie, iDVD, and Finder as well.

  • Sort of off topic, but same old question looking for a new answer

    Ok I'm ready to start a new site. I'm going cheap as it's all coming out of my pocket including hosting. I want to put a video chat room on my site. Is there anyway to capture a webcam in this fashion in director. I've done tons of searching but I can't really find anything. I'm trying to avoid using the flash communication server for three reasons. 1) I already have the director multiuser server that will host up to 1000 users (the room will never be anything close to that big 50 peeps tops) and my web host will support it and install it for me. 2) I can't find anything at a really cheap price. I'm looking at 25 cam users at once... 3) Actionscript is nothing I've every really worked with before, but I could do the lingo programming.
    I have a few questions First of all I read something about putting a flash element on the stage, and that the flash player is what captures the webcam. But I assume that it still needs flash communication sever to upload the video. Is this correct?
    Is there an xtra that will do what I  want?
    I read something about encoding the video to realvideo, but I have no clue how as I've never done anything like that before. Will this work and do you know of a tutorial for this?
    Do you know of a really really cheap flash comm host?
    Really off topic but, I could write the text chat end of it in cold fusion. Is there a known way to easily add the video in this way?
    Does anyone know of a cheap off the shelf video chat room that I can put up on my site and just pay for the bandwidth overage that it uses?
    Thanks for any help any of you could give me.

    There are several 2.4 GHz MacBook pros shipped over several years.
    If this is your Mac (2007 model) scroll down to the memory section and read:
    http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/stats/macbook-pro-core-2-duo-2 .4-15-santa-rosa-specs.html
    Standard RAM:
    2 GB
    Maximum RAM:
    6 GB*
    Details:
    2 GB installed as two 1 GB modules. No slots free.
    *Apple officially supports a maximum of 4 GB of RAM but third-parties have been able to upgrade the system to 6 GB of RAM using one 2 GB and one 4 GB memory module.
    Site sponsor Other World Computing sells MacBook Pro memory, as well as hard drives, batteries, carrying cases, and accessories.
    ... and that sponsor is not a bad place to get RAM at all. They are experts, and back it up with a "money back if it does not work in your Mac" guarantee.

  • Who to contact to view a thread removed by host for being off-topic?

    I have been posting to the Logic Pro 7 forum.
    I posted a question that was clearly labelled "Off-Topic"
    It was to do with phones being used in recording studios and I was inviting opinions from other recording studio users in the Logic Pro 7 forum.
    I have had 24 replies.
    I cannot view those replies because:

    Can anyone help, please?

    Hi darren,
    As one of the posters of that thread, I would like to report that 1/2 of the replies said that phones do nothing in the studio except annoy those not on the phone, 1/4 compared it to no phones on planes, 1/8 said that cheaper/older phones can cause interference on amped instruments like a guitar, and the last 1/8 was fluff.
    hope that helps. I enjoyed that thread for what it's worth.

  • Off-topic section not available for outsiders

    Hi people!
    The Off-topic section is only visible when I am logged in. If I logout, I can't see it. I found that because I've sent the url from the photoshop thread (lots of good laughings) to a friend and he said that couldn't see it because he was not registered, acording to the message he got.
    So, is it on purpose? I can't see why, so I'm asking here.

    Yes, it is. The reason is that sometime threads in off-topics can degenerate because they can be of political/religious nature.  Such threads are not allowed but we can't check the forum 24hr/day.  Other threads in off-topics are  pointless blabber.  We don't want prospective users who are browsing the forums to know if Arch is OK for them or are searching help on installing it to see these posts.  They can give a bad first impression of Arch.  Once they register, we assume they have a better idea of the Arch community and realize that these threads are a minority.
    Your friends will need to register is they want to see the photoshop thread.

    My iMac is frozen on a blue screen during an update of software for snow leopard. What do I do?  Should I turn off the computer?

    do a hard shutdown of the mac (holding down the power button until it shuts off) then do an SMC reset, the following article tells how to do this:

    after doing this reset and restarting the mac, try again to install the update.
