Picture Screen Saver to show iPhoto's caption and date?

The Picture Screen Saver has the option to show name and date of a photo. But instead of using iPhoto's title and image date it uses only the file name and file date.
Is there a way to show the image date and title caption (both part of the EXIF data)?

This is certainly a possibility but not very convenient as I have to enter and maintain all that info twice once in iPhoto and then in Finder.
But it may be the only option unless Apple is prepared to enhance their Screen Saver app.

  • IPhoto screen-saver Slide show, where is it?

    I'm looking for pictures that show in the Screen saver slide show but not in iPhoto or Aperture folders.
    They were there last week.
    Hoping for help!

    I had a quick scan of those comments, and most of those are from more than 18 months ago. The comments from this year are either: factually wrong ("very few slideshow designs" - it has 35 or thereabouts) or complaints about the Upgrade policy.
    There is no substitute for downloading and trying it yourself.
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Catalog missing captions and dates

    Hi,
    I've been using various versions of the Organizer for about 7 years, but version 9 has my catalog all messed up.  I recently installed elements 9, and when I moved in my catalog about 3000 of my 9000 or so photos are missing their dates and captions.  Most of them are ones I scanned in years ago from older family members, not camera pictures. Did elements 9 somehow overwrite all my captions and dates?  I've turned off auto analyzer but it was probaly running when I first put the catalog into  the trial version of 9. I now have the purchased version running on windows 7 64 bit.  I need to fix this somehow, since some of the elderly relatives who helped me date and caption the photos are no longer available to help me redo everything!
    I have older catalog psa files saved 3 or 4 years ago but when I try to open these in 9 I get wrong file type messages
    I've reinstalled 7, but still get the wrong file type message on my older .psa files
    I've tried to open the psa files with Access, but that doesn't work, and so I tried Sqlite studio, but it doesn't recognize my .psa file as a valid database. Can I change an extension somehow to see these old catalogs as a db?
    What does write keyword tag and properties info to file command do? Does it write all my captions and dates into a file attached to each photo so I'll never have this problem again?
    Is there some sort of utility that would print out my catalog with captions and dates so I can have a hard copy to re enter dates from if this happens again?
    Any suggestions on how to get my older catalogs open?  Thanks, Lynn

    Showing 196 apps in the catalog instead of the 600 plus.  For example, Pandora was a pre configured app on phone.  It is missing.  When I search APP Catalog it doesn't show up, only 196.
    Doing a partial erase to see if it works. Working with Palm support. 

  • My iphone 3gs has started showing the wrong time  and date. All was fine until this afternoon when it changed.  My apps have the right time and date. However the world clock is wrong. I have to turn off the automatic time setting to get the right time.

    My iphone is showing the wrong time and date. All was well until sometime this afternoon when it changed...  to Nov 5 (2 days prior to today), and about 9 hours and some minutes before the actual time.  The world clock for my time zone shows the same wrong date and time. My calender shows the same wrong date and time.  The phone can not find my time zone any more.   The only fix I found was to turn off the automatic setting for time.  What is  happening? Ideas?

    just sorted mine went to
    settings-mail,contacts,calender-timezone support
    then turned it off then on tapped time zone and typed london
    this did sort mine

  • Pictures screen saver.  My "best" photos look granular. Why?

    Hello. I have a number of photos saved on my mac. Some were taken years ago with a cheap digital camera. Some were scanned in recently using a scanner. Others were taken using a more expensive, good quality, slr camera. I refer to the slr pictures as my "best" pictures for this particular question.
    When I view these photos through iphoto they are excellent. When the play through the atv as a screen saver, they look excellent. Yet, if I select these photos to play as the screen saver "one at a time" type of mode (i.e. not the collage mode), the "best" pictures look granular or blurry. While the old photos all look great.
    I've played around with the options in the screen saver and it didn't do any good. Just cropped or otherwise move the photos around and they didn't look any better.
    What am I missing here that would cause these otherwise great pictures to look bad in the screen saver on the mac?
    Thanks.

    Just curious to know how your pictures look in Picture Viewer? Select actual size and if they come close to filling your screen and look fine I don't know why they wouldn't look ok in Screensaver. If they show in Picture viewer as being small this might be one of the cases where the dimensions are actually small, say 4 by 5, but the resolution is high, say 120 to 300. I think that it is this type of picture that doesn't scale well at all. They would look ok on a tv but why they would look good in iPhoto I don't know.

  • HT204379 Choose how long each screen saver slide shows for?

    There used to be an option to choose how many seconds each "slide" would show in Screen Saver. I don't see that option in Mountain Lion, only how many minutes until Screen Saver comes on. Is there still any way to do that?  My slides change more quickly than I want them to...

    Thank you for the advice, but I think you misunderstood what I am trying to do.  I know about Home Sharing and have set this up along with many of my photo albums.  I can access them when my Apple TV is on.
    I am trying to customize the screen saver for the Apple TV.  When I go into settings - Screen Saver, I get a list including National Geographic, Flowers, etc. and also My ICloud.  I choose My ICloud and it gives me two Options - Photo Streaming (which contains pictures taken in the last 30 days) and a second Option - Activity.  I am guessing this would allow me to use specific photos.   But it says "This album is empty."  I would like to use about 30 - 40 photos as my screen saver but have no idea how to get them into that Activity album.
    I created an Activity Album in IPhoto, filled it with the photos I want to use, then tried to share it to ICloud.  The color wheel stays on for awhile which I thought  was indicating the transfer.  But I go back to Apple TV, turn it on, go to Settings - Screen Saver but it still shows Activity is empty.

  • Picture Screen Saver Problems

    Sooo... i have set on my sreensaver to show my pictures from iPhoto. Well just recently, it started showing some of the pictures in realllly low resolution, making them all pixely, while some of the others are in their normal, higher resolution. I have no idea why its doing this.
    The only thing i can think of, is that i cleared my cache using cocktail. Would that cause a problem?
    Any suggestions? Help?

    I figured it out! So, in the screen saver settings. When you select where you want the pictures to be taken from "aka which folder", make sure its the "photos" option, and not the picture folder. For some reason, other random pics stored on your computer at other resolutions screw things up. Anywho, it worked for me! Give it a try.

  • Screen saver from an iPhoto album?

    Hi,
    Before upgrading to Snow Leopard, I used to have a screen saver (which came pre-installed with leopard) that simply rotated through the pictures in an iPhoto album. After upgrading, whenever the screen saver activated, I would get a black screen with an error message. Has this functionality been lost in Snow Leopard???
    Thanks,
    Mike

    Nevermind, it just takes a very long time to populate the list!

  • Screen saver slide show keeps reverting to National Geographic photos?

    Hi all - quick question about a minor annoyance.  I have the screen saver set to display photos from one of my iPhoto photo sets using the built in screen saver options.  For no apparent reason, it occasionally decides to stop displaying my photos and instead starts displaying the National Geographic photos instead, which is one of the options in the screen saver setup.  I can go to settings and change it back to my photos but it always seems to eventually go back.  I can't find any rhyme, reason or pattern to this happening - if its something that I am doing, I've got no idea what it could be.
    Anyone have any idea how I might be accidentally causing this, or is this some sort of bug?  Any way to prevent it from happening?  Any help appreciated.  Not sure but I am pretty sure this did not happen before Yosemite.

  • Shuffle Pictures Screen Saver / Energy Saver not working after 3.1.1 update

    (cross-posted from the Snow Leopard discussions)
    Hello,
    I've noticed that my Screen Saver has not been kicking in lately and thus my iMac hasn't progressed to the full Energy Saver profile settings (Computer Sleep in 1.5 hrs & Display Sleep in 30 mins). Screen Saver is set to shuffle random pictures from a folder in my Aperture library.
    I'm not sure if it is linked or not, but I only noticed this problem after installing the latest update to Aperture (3.1.1) from the Software Update. Since they may be linked I am cross-posting this question in the Aperture discussions as well.
    Any suggestions on what may be causing my problem and how to fix it?
    Thanks!

    try Resetting it up, I run in that problem with adding images, I end up having to click of the the folder than click on the folder I want than it updates...

  • Help: my iMac suddenly has a screen saver that i don't recognize, and processing has slowed to a crawl...

    When I try to awaken the computer, the screen saver (a changing series of neon-colored rings and dots) does not immediately disappear. It can take a full minute for it to go through different displays before it goes away and is replaced by my desktop. And even after I get my desktop back, it takes forever for applications to launch, and even to type simple words into the google search bar. I type, and then have to wait for the words to appear. Is the appearance of the screen saver and the slow processing a coincidence? If not, what can I do to remove the screen saver (and solve the problem)?

  • IPhoto 11 Faces and Dates are incorrect when synced to iPad/iPod

    iPhoto 11, "Faces" and file creation dates appear to work perfectly when viewed within iPhoto 11 on my MacBook Pro. However, a few dozen Faces and creation dates appear incorrectly and out of chronological sequence when viewed on my iPad or iPod. I have rebuilt my iPhoto 11 library several times and re-synced to the iPad/iPod, but the problem persists. Anyone having the same issue or happen to know of a solution? Thanks in advance.

    iPhoto Version 9.5.1 (902.17)
    It was moved to the library by being imported from an NTFS external hard drive, which has now been reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Case Sensitive, Journaled), the iPhoto library was originally located on the built in SSD drive, but is now located on an external hard drive, due to capacity limitations.
    I am seeing the incorrect face orientations when I view the faces in the faces view of iPhoto, when I go onto a person, some are incorrect orientation.
    But when I click on the files, they are correct.
    |
    They are also incorrect using photo screen savers.
    (These images are for demo purposes only, and the issue is not limited to the photos shown).
