Photo's in slideshow are broken

When I play a slideshow, some photo's are unrecognizeable, like they are digital damaged. Other photo's appear good. I've already updated my software

Start with the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

HELP!!!! All my photo books and slideshows are GONE!!!!!

Ran iPhoto 6 on my iMac, and to my horror, found that all my photo books and slide shows (I had tens of them, almost as many as I had albums) are gone!!!! No, I didn't backup my iPhoto library.
Is there any way on God's green earth to restore these? I worked hundreds of hours on them!!!!

Celeste:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
First try launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options, ignoring the one regarding orphaned photos.
If that doesn't work you'll have to start over with a fresh library as follows:
Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the Tip at the end of my signature.
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.

Buttons for the slideshow are broken

Hi, new to iWeb and all the web composing stuff so I may miss something. I made slideshows from my albums on a site i'm currently building but suddenly, the left and right arrows and pause buttons don't appear anymore. I checked the published site on a local folder and on the server and it looks the same
Is there anything I can do to get them back ?

Got them back now... iWeb 08 seems to be a litle temperamental on the publish feature. I have a link to an internal page with cyan color from the apple palette and it stubbornly stays white, while another link on the site sith the same color is ok. Tried to delete and rewrite the defective link with the right color but it didn't change anything.

Problem with slideshow in iPhoto. Photos look like they are all the right way up but when in slideshow action some are sideways.

even though all photos look like they are the right way up, when the slideshow commences, some of them display sideways. I have tried re-rotating them - and still have same problem. Help please - need it for Saturday night !

What version of iPhoto are you using? Are you creating the slideshow directly from an album or are you using the slideshow mode?
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?

Photos downloaded to iPad are blurred in 'slideshow'

I've downloaded 50 images into an album on my iPad, but when I click on the 'slideshow' feature the first image is as sharp as it should be, but thereafter the remaining images are blurred can anyone tell me why this is please? This ONLY happens when I use the slideshow feature - i.e. if I tap on each photo individually it is sharp.

Hi makey,
If you are having issues with your photos in the slideshow being blurred (aside from the first one), you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
First, quit all running applications and test again -
iOS: Force an app to close
Next, I would try restarting the iPhone -
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPhone as a new device -

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrai

I am using elements & premiere 12 on my PC using windows 7. My problem is that photos in portrait view in slideshow are OK but when I move the slideshow to premiere to edit included video the portrait photos turn side-on and stretch when still in portrait view. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Any comments would be appreciated.

Bruce369
What is the Output option that you are selecting for the transfer of the Elements Organizer 12/12.1 slideshow to Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Editor?
If you are using Edit with Premiere Elements output option, are you using the Premiere Elements command to break apart the Elements Organizer slideshow and then applying rotation to the portrait files? Or, it is this more than just a photo rotation matter?
More on this in the morning.
Please review and consider.
Thank you.

How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow

How do I arrange photos in ATV2 slideshow?

Thanks, that is what I am doing and it works. But when the folder contents are displayed for Slideshow, the photos are not in the order that I want. I can't figure out what controls the order in Slideshow because it is different from the order in the original folder and doesn't correlate with any of the columns (eg, Name, Date Created, etc). It seems like there is a random element in the transmission from iTunes to Apple TV, but that doesn't make sense.

Fox news slideshows are not working in Vista Home 64 bit.

All fox news slideshows are not working since firefox 3.6 started. I can't get them to work in Internet explorer either.

I was just forced to "upgrade" iphoto, and most of my slideshows are gone. What is going on? I'm desperate here.

I was just forced to "upgrade" iphoto, and most of my slideshows are gone. What is going on? I'm desperate here.

Thanks for the reply.
It wouldn't open unless I clicked "upgrade." The other option was "cancel." The Genius at the Apple Store said I had no choice. The new stuff looks idfferent but maybe it's just taking a while to go through all my photos. I can't tell what is going on exactly, but I'm nervous to see the last slideshow there is 2010.
We are backed up on Carbonite, but the hoops to go through getting specific items back seems daunting to me.

Some pictures in slideshow are pixilated

I'm making a slideshow in Aperture (3.2.2) on my iMac (3.4 GHz Intel Core i7, Memory 16 GB 1333 MHz DDR3) running Mac OS X 10.6.8, and some of the photos that were transferred from a CD-ROM, and some that were recently transferred from an SD card are pixilated! I've done many slideshows before, and have never experienced this. The File size of the image doesn't matter. Some of the larger megapixel images are very pixilated, while some of the very small images (356 K) are not.
It's also happening in iPhoto. Also, when I move a photo from Aperture to iPhoto, the file size is reduced dramatically. Why does this happen?
I am hoping that someone out there has a simple solution for this! Time is of the essence!

Stan,
This completely seems like a case of not having enough resolution in your pictures for the purpose at hand.
It's possible that the slideshow is stretching some of the photos and not others. If I remember right, portrait photos in a slideshow will be letterboxed, with black on either side of the photo so you can see all (or the majority) of your photo on the screen. A photo of the same size, but landscape orientation, will take up the whole screen. Thus, the portrait photo will be shrunk, or alternately (depending on the sizes we're talking about), the landscape will be blown up. Any time you blow up a digital photo, it wil be pixelated. That's the only thing I can think of in terms of your landscape versus portrait.
Your photos are very, very small. It sounds like they are actually thumbnails, or from a very early digital camera when photos that matched the pixel dimensions of the monitor were ok. Your monitor is probably 1.2-1.5 megapixels, so any photo smaller than that runs the chance of not having enough detail to look good.
As for the 0.8 MP and 0.7 MP comparison in your email, I'm guessing that you are talking about JPEGs. JPEG is a lossy format, and when the file is created, the creator of the file determines how much information to throw away. It's possible that there was too much information thrown away (maybe to get to a certain file size) to recreate a good-looking photo.
One thing to try -- open one of the bad-looking photos in Preview and look at it with 1-1 zoom. That will show you how large the photo really could look on your monitor without being "blown up."

Can i set the timing for individual photos in a slideshow

there are text pages that need to be read but not at a 4 second speed
it has to be slower more time
syncing to music i compose is a must
can each individual photo have its own time
i hope so or else they ruined a wonderful product
with this limitation

Glen:
Yes, you can. Under the slide there's a button titled "Adjust'. Click on it and you can set the time for that slide, the transition, etc.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar.

Ken Burns reduces photo resolution in slideshows?

Hey gang-
I'm running iPhoto 8 v7.0.1 on my new 24" 2.8GHz iMac. I've noticed something I hadn't detected in earlier versions of iPhoto- that is, when I'm playing a slideshow, photo quality if "Automatic Ken Burns" is enabled appears significantly lower than when Ken Burns is turned off. I've looked closely at a few photos that contain text and lines that can be pretty objectively judged, and photos definitely appear to be in a lower resolution and rather fuzzy if Ken Burns is enabled.
Turn Ken Burns off and play the same slideshow, and the photos appear sharp and crisp? Is this a known issue? Any way to adjust this? Thanks!
Dave

I just added some text with Photoshop to a photo and ran it thru the auto KB effect slideshow and didn't see any degradation of the image/text. What size is your file? If it has small pixel dimensions then it might be fuzzy when used in the KB effect as it would be enlarged.
Do you Twango?

Apple TV reboots when viewing photos and selecting slideshow mode

Just purchased the A-TV, so only experience is with the 2.3 OS release. I can view my synced photos without issue, but when I select slideshow mode, the screen goes black for a few minutes and then the box reboots. The diagnostics state there is not a hardware problem, but this is hopefully not a 'feature' of A-TV. Help!

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
There could be a/some photos causing a problem, are you able to sync your photos in batches to try to eliminate this possibility.

How change positions of photos in a slideshow?

How do I change the positions of photos in a slideshow?

Are you saying you can't change the order of the slides in this tray in the slideshow mode?
One should be able to drag and drop photos into any position you want. If you can't then try this:   make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
     User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

Title photos of web galleries are not changeable?

Dear everybody,
I've been trying to change the "title photo" of some of my web galleries - that is the picture a viewer sees first when entering the gallery overview. Simply putting the desired picture in first place via iphoto doesn't do the job. Do you think it is necessary to create a new gallery each time I want to change the title photo?
Help and ideas appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Open iPhoto's preferences and go to the Web Gallery section. There you can change the overall name of the Web Gallery Title that is seen online.
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.
