Photos stuck in slideshow

I've been using Apple Tvs for a digital signage project for quite some time and now, I have a recurring problem: sometimes when I refresh the slideshow content, other previously loaded photos will show up in the slideshow. For example, I had the slideshow playing 10 photos from my iCloud Photostream account then I decided to switch the slideshow to 10 different photos from my Flickr account. Everything will work fine for awhile - sometimes days. Then, at random, several of the Photostream photos will get mixed in along with the 10 current photos from the Flickr account slideshow. Sometimes I get the same issue even when using a local folder via Homesharing (Homeshare photos will play at random even when the slidehow is set to Flickr, Photostream,etc..). It seems as if there is a cache that is not purging itself properly. This is incredibly frustrating because it seems to happen at random. I have even power-cycled the Apple TV and the slideshow will pull the photos from Flickr (or iCloud) and work properly. Then I'll power cycle again and get the random photo issue.
Also note that I use a hard-wired connection all of the time, this issue is not Wi-Fi related.
Is there ANY way of making sure this issue won't happen without having to perform a factory reset to the Apple TV?

This has happened to me also - ONLY after upgrading to iLife '06. My camara is a Sony and doesn't have the option for auto-rotation enabled (doubt it even has such an option). I import into iPhoto '06 and manually rotate my profile images to their correct orientation. Playing the slideshow reveals them in landscape once more. If I use the rotation controls within the slideshow, this can be corrected - BUT if I close the slideshow and go back to iPhoto '06, the once correctly-oriented (before the slideshow) images now appear in landscape - in the OPPOSITE direction of their originally-imported landscape direction. So it looks like iPhoto '06 image orientation is not being relayed correctly to the slideshow.
Additionally, my settings for slideshow to NOT have music playing is not saved no matter how many times I revisit that option and click save after unchecking the "play music" box.
Looking forward to iLife '06.01!

How do I align photos in a slideshow?

Hello,
I have been trying to find out how to align photos in a slideshow so that they don't "jump around" in the page, when they have different formats. Unfortunately I just read this discussion and learned that it isn't possible.

But Iguiva then writes: "Now I only can do it manually, one by one..."
If I can't controll exactly where the photo is shown, I don't see that I can use Muse.
So here is my question: How do I do it manually?
Thanks,
Tine

Hi Tine,
You can go to the Hero Image level in the Slideshow and then double click the Hero Image.
That would give you access to the actual Image (you will see the Control Strip left corner reads "Image" rather than "Hero Image").
Once at that level you can manipulate and place your image inside the Hero Image container as you see fit and it will keep the position you set.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Vikas

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.

Photo stuck in web gallery

I currently have no photos published in my web gallery. However, I have one photo stuck in my gallery. How can I remove this photo?

In iPhoto when you go to preferences ==> gallery what does it show? If the gallery shows as being published there stop lublishing it and see if that helps.
If it doe not go to the finder ==> iDisk ==> web ==> _gallery and delete the gallery folder (or the pictures in that gallery if it is just one picture you want gone) that is stuck there

How can i link a text to a photo into a slideshow?

hello, need some help please! i want to link a text to a specified photo into a slideshow, another word to another photo and so on...I've tried any slideshow, and composition with anchor points and it doesn't work. How can i realize that please?

There's no support within Muse to cause click on a word within a flow of text to result in a slideshow turning to a specific image.
A composition widget can be used to have clicking on or rolling over a trigger object cause a target container to appear.

How to order the photos in a slideshow

how to order the photos in a slideshow

Just like for any other photo - select the photos in the album and use the command "File > Order Prints".
Be careful, not to include any text slides. If it is difficult to select the photos in the slideshow, create a new album from the photos in the film strip (File > New Album).

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Most of us do not have this problem and can connect to our libraries on demand, it would therefor seem reasonable to assume that the issue lies somewhere other than iTunes or the Apple TV, my first thought is network issues, have you done anything to ensure it's not your network.

How do I add captions to the photos in my slideshow?

Prior to the new Photos program, I was able to add captions to each photo in my slideshow - especially important for travel slideshows. I can't find any info on that or any function for that.

Thanks for your response but I can't find those apps under the list of apps in my settings.
What do I next?

How do you add captions to photos in iDVD slideshows?

Is there a way to add captions to photos once you've put them into slideshows on iDVD? Or, if not, is there another way to add captions to them, though another apple application such as iPhoto? I haven't been able to figure out how to make captions for photos in iPhoto slideshows either. Please help!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. if you're creating the slideshow from stills in iDVD use the Settings button at the bottom to bright up the pane where you can add titles and comments. The downside of that is every photo will automatically have it's file name or title entered. If you don't want that then while you're in iPhoto use the Photos->Batch Change->Title->None option before you import into iDVD. Then none of them will have the titles entered and you can add them to just those that you want. Or you can add them while in iPhoto before importing.

Photo stuck on edit requesting red eye but there are no eyes in photo and cannot move away or go back

Photo stuck on one photo cannot move on or back . Initiated through edit with red eye option selected - in error as there are no eyes visible how do I cancel this?

Close the photos app in the recents tray and then reboot the iPad.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Photos icon. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

How to publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb

Is it possible to (or how do you) publish a photo book and slideshow in iWeb created either in Aperture or iPhoto?

Here's an example of E Books. They're created in iWork and loaded into iWeb as a compressed PDF for download. The photo of the front cover is used for the link.

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.

When I export photos to Iphoto slideshow they crop more after each play. Is this common?

When I export photos to IPhoto slideshow they crop more and more after each play. Is this common?

No. In fact, I've never heard of it before.
It might help if you could give us some details. What do you mean by "export photos to iPhoto Slideshow"? DO you mean you're adding photos to a slideshow in iPhoto? Or hat you created a slideshow in iPhoto and exported that to the Finder?

Can I extract photos from a slideshow?

I was given a slideshow someone made. It is identified as VIDEO_TS.VOB and opens in VLC. It won't play in Quicktime. Anyway, is there a way of extracting the original photos from the slideshow?
Thanks for any help you might be able to give.

N-h:
Unfortunately, no. A screenshot is the best you can do. The original photos were converted to a 640 x 480 size for use in a QT format movie. Maybe it's time to consider an external FW hard drive for backup purposes. It's very cost effective insurance against such loss.
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.
