Photo duration won't change

Help!! No matter what I do even manually change each photos duration, or change duration and apply to all slides, even set the settings of the photo duration in the project properties, all of my photos will NOT change how long they are on screen for. Some of them are at like 6 seconds each!
Ive tried changing them with transitions in the project, without transitions in the project etc.
Please help I'm trying to complete a video for fathers day which is today

IMovie 11 adjusting photo duration - won't change, various times showing!

H E L P!!!! I have just installed Imovie 11. I am in the finishing stages of a project which HAS TO BE COMPLETED in the next 2 days. I am having grief adjusting the duration for my still photos. I click on the COG - Clip adjustments - change the timing to 08:00 and tick the APPLIES TO ALL STILLS box. The clip won't change and some of them show 12s, some 10s ect. HOW DO I CHANGE THIS?? WHY IS IT SUCH A DRAMA??? I WANT MY STILLS to show for eight seconds only. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME???? THANK YOU

Many people have posted on this issue, including myself. I've spent a lot of hours on problem, and have come up with a solution that allows me to vary both the image duration and the transition duration in my movies.
Here's my process that I have posted before and that I still use:
-> Knowing that (a) I want most of the photos to be visible for 5 seconds and most transitions for 2 seconds and (b) that a transition takes half from the photo before and half from the photo after, under File>Project Properties>Photo Duration I chose 7 seconds - each photo will 'lose' a total of 2 seconds from the transitions in front and behind. I did not check either "Applies to all transitions." or "Applies to all photos." - See below for why.
-> I discovered that all the photos have to go in before I add any transitions. This was new to me. With all previous versions of iMovie I simply added a photo then a transition then another photo one at a time. I had to fiddle with the timing adjustments, but at least I could fiddle. With this new version of iMovie I can't. Once the transition is in place, I cannot change the duration of the photo.
-> Sometimes, I want a longer or shorter duration for a photo. For example, on photos to which I apply the Ken Burns effect, I often want the image on the screen for a slightly longer time. In this case, I have to use the inspector to change the duration before I add the transitions. So I might set the time for 8 seconds; when a two second transition is added before and after, the time for this photo becomes 6 seconds, which is what I want.
-> The same applies if I want a transition to be shorter or longer than 2 seconds. If, for example, I want the duration for a transition to be 1 second, then I have to change the duration on the two linked photos to 5 1/2 seconds.
Right now, I working with batches of 5 or 6 photos at a time. I don't put a transition on the last photo in the batch until I have added the next group of photos. And things get really tricky if I don't like my original design. If I want to change anything, I have to take out all of the transitions linking the photos I want to work on, do the math, make the changes in the photo durations, then put the transitions back.
All of this requires much more prior planning than I am used to with iMovie. I hope it helps those of you who are struggling with this problem.

Photo date won't change to what I enter

I've been going through the tedious process of changing dates on photos I've imported (thanks, Apple, for taking away the editable date field that made this a snap in iPhoto '09). Mostly it's working fine. Except for one photo--every time I try to change the date, iPhoto sets it to a completely different date, always earlier than what I want. So now I'm in the year 1398. It does this whether or not I have the "adjust original file" checked. What's really bizarre is that if I change the date by a couple of years, it works, but if I try to jump more than 10 or 20 years, it jumps back in time.
Am I crazy???

I can't even get iPhoto 11 to let me change the date! Apparently when I "upgraded" to 11 from 09, it not only lost photos and photo books (don't get me started on that), but it also assigned arbitrary dates to a LOT of photos that I had scanned in. And when I try clicking on the date to change it, it won't allow it. GRRRRRR!!!!!
So please, if you know how to change the date, please, please share it with me......thanks!
I DETEST iPhoto 11!!!

Photo page won't display properly in safari

Hi everyone!
I'm completely new to building websites and need some of your expert advice?
For some reason my photo pages won't display properly in Safari but ok in Firefox?
It worked fine a week ago and I can't think what I've done wrong since I republished last night?
http://www.abeledo.talktalk.net/losavellanos/House.html
Can anyone help?
I'll buy you a pint!
Cheers

No luck unfortunately.
I changed the background to a solid and made the changes that you suggested roddy, but neither seemed to work. I know I must be doing something wrong? Do the photos appear ok with you roddy? All I see, is half the page i.e nav bar, top image, 'the house & garden etc text and top half of the darker box where the thumbnails should appear. And this happens with all 3 photo pages currently on the site.

I've been clearing my cache in both browsers every time I republish.
I've also tried upgrading to the new 3.0.3 beta Safari? You'd think - out of all the browsers- iWeb would work seamlessly with Safari wouldn't you? - Firefox is fine.
Do you think I should start from scratch?

Problems setting still photo duration??

How do you REALLY change and fit the transition and clip duration to what you want it to be? I have tried everything and researched it long enough.This has been a long-time problem with a lot of users - I'm surprised and disappointed Apple hasn't helped anyone through this by giving a solution THAT WORKS.
The last thing I tried was...
delete all transitions
set the still photo duration to what I want it to be (3.0sec)
add transitions back
But when I add them the still photo duration jumps to 4.0sec?? When I then go back and click on the photo to change duration for all photos, the time increases by 1.0 sec every time I adjust it back to my original 3.0 input. Right now it is at 8.0 sec???!!
Can someone help me with the steps to do this? I really don't want to start all over, I'd rather input photo settings for each picture then find the pictures again to add to my project.
*Yes I realize that the project settings (command+J) probably need to correspond - that is what makes sense to me, at least *

Wait!
I think I figured it out - If anyone has this problem, go to preferences and "unclick" - ADD AUTOMATIC TRANSITION DURATION in Browser catagory at the bottom. Then hit command+J to go to project properties and know that PHOTO DURATION + TRANSITION DURATION = the number of seconds you see when you click on your still photo.
Hopefully that helps someone out there.

Why won't changes made to faces on iMac appear on MacBook?

Why won't changes made to faces on iMac appear on MacBook?

No they're not linked at all.
Are you thinking of Photostream? That's a way of getting all your photos onto all your devices, that's all. Once there they have no connection at all.

Basically, it just saves you having to import to each device individually, that's all.

Try rebooting your iPhone (holding the home button and sleep/wake button together until the apple logo appear)

Computer is balky random freezes across apps. Two hard drive cleans later (their scan reveals no hard drive problems) photo shop won't work at all, magic touch mouse inoperable and their diagnoses is corrupted data? Anybody heard of this?

Well, yes, data does get corrupted sometimes.
The trick is finding what data.
By 'cleaned' are you therefor meaning that the drive has been erased and the system re-installed?
Because that's the quickest way to deal with such a situation.
Back up the system first of course,
Add back 3rd party apps one at a time in case one of them is causing the problem.

seems very likely to me. - but I've never tried that. That's worth a seperate topic here, perhaps someone who's used one could reply, Barring that, See below (for a way to test)

No removing the program won't do anything to your music. After you reinstall itunes first try copying a few songs to default location on your internal HD, and see if problem still exists (make sure iTunes is pointed to it) THEN reestablish the external,
PS: I forgot to ask Does your iTunes Prefs > Advanced Tab show the correct path to your media folder? Do you have the "Copy files to Media Folder when adding... " checked?
Warning: I don't know about iTunes Match: but I would definitely turn off all Automatic updating (everywhere iTunes, iPhone etc ) while you're messing with this.

I accidentally changed a setting on my ipod touch and now it won't change back. I have had my ipod for more than two years and i dont know what to do. If i go to the apple store, would they fix it, or would i need to get a new one?

If it is still under warranty you can call the 800 number to apple and enter the serial number and it will tell you if it is under warranty or not if not its like $30 basically for them to help or something like that it said today when i called...
Or take it to a genius bar if you have one near?
Or further explain what setting you are needing fixed back and im sure someone here can help you for free!

I have a lock rotation on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

I have a lock rotation next ti my battery on my iPad 2 and it won't change from landscape and I tried to reset it but nothing and I tried from lock rotation to mute but nothing and I don't no what to do now. Can u help me plz?

With Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to 'Lock Rotation' have you then moved the switch on the right-hand side of the iPad above the volume control 'off' ?
Or with the switch set to control 'notification mute' you should be able to unlock rotation via the far left of the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't being controlled by the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

When the keyboard pops up, tab the Globe icon, and select the English keyboard.

My external drive switched from g drive to f, my itunes won't change to drive f, and it says drive g is unavailable, what can I do?

This is not the easiest sight to sign up for and submit a question. However my external drive switched from g drive to f. As I downloaded the new version of itunes it won't change from g drive to f drive when I click the button to change. It just says g drive is unavailable to download itunes which I already aware of but it won't let me browse and find the right drive my external drive is on. It won't configure or anything what do I do?

Change the drive letter back to G:

I had to change my Apple ID. However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID.

However, it won't change in my phone. I changed it in setting, but when it comes to downloading updates for apps or music, it won't update from my old Apple ID. For instance, I had to change my apple ID from (for instance, "[email protected]") to something else ("[email protected]"). I changed it in settings to the new one, but when I go to update apps, my phone is still connected to "[email protected]"
What should I do?

In the Finder do a Get Info on one of those files & the folder it's in, report what it says for privileges.
Oh, did you maybe change your short username/Home Folder's name?

I just downloaded the new OS X Mountain Lion, and my iMessages status won't change!! How do I fix this?

if you set up only iMessage account, you cannot change the status, because iMessage has no status.
You should set up another service (for example AIM) with status service. Initially I didn't understand this "issue" too, but it is correct.
