Problem adding music to slideshow in lightroom 5

In Lightroom 5, i am having trouble with putting music to the slideshow. I can upload the music, however it won't let me check the duration of the song, and therefore add it. Any help would be great.

Don
Then the problem is at the iTunes end. I would post that on the iTunes forum.

Can't find media when adding music to slideshow

Trying to add music to slideshow>click music icon>click itunes - cant find media (no music). Tried what the help menu said to troubleshoot & did not help.
osx 10.7.5, latest iphoto and itunes.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether your problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode* and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Shut down your computer, wait 30 seconds, and then hold down the shift key while pressing the power button.
When you see the gray Apple logo, release the shift key.
If you are prompted to log in, type your password, and then hold down the shift key again as you click Log in.
*Note: If FileVault is enabled under OS X 10.7 or later, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t boot in safe mode. Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Problems putting music to slideshow

I looked up how to add music to a slide show here and thought I did everything correctly but it's not playing. I added music from iTunes to the iWeb page, marked it for autoplay in the inspector and hid the movie controller and put a square of black over the controller hide it.
I thought maybe it wasn't playing because it wasn't published but when I published, there's still no music. Any suggestions?

If by "iTunes" you mean music bought from the iTunes Store, I think that would be regarded as "re-distribution" — which is not permitted. Post back if your iTunes music was not bought from the iTunes Store and maybe someone can help further.
And here's a legal guide about using music on the Web:

Problem adding audio to slideshow

I created a slideshow in Elements 8 with no problem. I added several tracks of audio that fit well. I learned that I needed to have Elements Premier to publish it to a DVD. I downloaded the trials of Photoshop Elements 10 and Photoshop Elements Premier 10 and created the slide show again. However I can not get the audio correct. When I add the first song it takes up the entire slide show. I add three more songs and they are just added on past the slide show which is 16 minutes long. When I click to match the slides to the audio it tells me that the show is over 24 hours long. I have unchecked the option to repeat the sound track until the end and cannot figure out what I need to do. I know it is something probably simple but I can't seem to figure it out. The audio files are MP3. Can anyone tell me how to get the program to accept the song for its correct length?

There are actually a number of ways (at least 4) to create a slideshow in Premiere Elements, and without knowing which of those methods you're using it's hard to comment specifically.
But if you're building your slideshow on the Premiere Elements timeline, first make sure you're in Timeline mode. Then, when you add your audio track, hold down the Ctrl key. This will allow you to place the audio on a parallel track, below the video/slideshow. If you don't hold down the Ctrl key, the audio will be inserted -- which means that it will drop onto the timeline and push all of the video/slideshow to the right -- which is what sounds like is happening to you.
BTW, the trial of the program has a number of limitations, including limitations on its ability to render. In other words, you probably won't be able to output a video or DVD of the slideshow you create in the trial version of the program. Just a word of warning before you put too much time into it.
And I would also recommend you convert that MP3 into a WAV file using a program like Audacity (free). It will save you some headaches in the long run. Also, when you see red lines above the clips on your timeline, press Enter to render the timeline. (When rendered, the red lines will turn green.)
Lots more headache-saving tips like this in my books, if you're interested.

Problems adding music...

I'm trying to load my music collection into itunes but it just stops after adding about 1500 of 25,000 songs; no warnings, no errors, nothing...
Also, when I retry "Add folder to library" itunes adds a second copy of everything already added! Isn't this thing smart enough to know whether a song has already been added?
BTW, I've got the latest copy of itunes.
Anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening??

I had an ipod touch that NEVER had this issue. I had music from multiple computers on it. I dont sync libraries, I individually add the songs from my library onto the device. Husbands iphone hasnt had this problem.

Problem adding music to my phone

When ever I try to add music to my phone, it prepares to sync but then skips syncing and say that it is copying diagnostic information and then goes back to try and sync. After that it trys to add the music then just deletes all the music I already had on my phone and will not let me put anything back on. I tried to see if it was a problem with my connectivity or the phoen it self but it said that everything was fine.

iTunes does not natively support players other than an iPod or iOS device. But you may be able to get direct support by using iTunes Agent. Give it a try; it may work for you. You'll need to consult your Samsung's documentation or Samsung support to find out what audio formats it supports. iTunes by default uses AAC, so if your Captivate won't support AAC, you'll need to convert your tracks, probably to MP3.

Problem syncing music to slideshow

Hello,
I use iPhoto 6.06. I am trying to set a slideshow to music--specifically, to a playlist I've created in iTunes. However, when I click on the "music" icon at the bottom of the slideshow window, and then click on iTunes, none of my slideshows appear--only individual songs! And when I try to select all 5 songs at once, that won't work either. All of the manuals say to select the playlist, but how do I get my playlist to appear?
Thanks for any help you might be able to offer!

Bless you, Kimball Jones--your post from November 2005 saved me!

Adding Music to Slideshow

I'm trying to add more than one song to a slideshow. I've read many places that you just need to create a playlist in itunes and then pull in the playlist from iphoto. I've created a playlist in itunes but when I click the music icon in iphoto, I only have access to individual songs in itunes--no access to playlist. I do not know why I can't see the playlist. Can anyone help with this?

Once you click on the slideshow button in the bottom of the iPhoto window the slide show should start. As you move your mouse to the bottom of the screen in the slide show you can see the onscreen control appear. Click on the Gear icon in the onscreen controls. Then select the Audio Tab in the window. Now select iTunes Playlists from the Source drop down.

Adding Music To Slideshow In Elements 6

I was able to successfully add ONE song to my slideshow, but when I try to add another song the program just shuts down completely. Please help!!!

Elements 6. (Looking to upgrade to either Elements 8 or CS5). Anyway, I
somehow got one song on there. It seems it will only allow me to add
certain songs and not others (strange!) Not sure what to do...it just
crashes the program every single time. Is something wrong with the
program???

How to add music to slideshow in Lightroom 5.5 from existing mp3s on my pc

hi, I'm playback mode I can click on select music, and can go into my pc and even open an mp3 or CD but when I choose 'select' I am told that "No items match your search" even though I am looking right at the song..Any tips? tia/Rick

Thanks AmishCake.
While I'd prefer to not have to do this I suppose it's the only way with my current set up.
Lots of hostile attention on this forum from people who claim to not care about what I do.

Problem adding music to submenu

I am using the Baby Mobile theme from the 5.0 themes options and although I'm able to add a new song to the main menu, a different song will not play during the submenu (movie scene selections). The menu info button does show the song track, yet it's not playing. I tried single layer and double layer to make sure it wasn't a space issue and neither work. Thoughts? Thanks.

Hi
Should be OK for standard 4x3 TV-video DV material. My minimum is 25Gb for this
and my guess is about 4 times more for full HD material.
What kind of audio file did You drop inti iDVD ?
• .aiff, .mp3 or from iTunes
I ONLY use .aiff 16-bit 48kHz and convert everything else to this first.
(iTunes - Make an Audio-CD .aiff first and use audiofrom this)

Adding music to N97 - Problem

Hello,
I get an error whenever i use the PC suite that I received on CD along with the phone. It fails when trying to install a driver called "MTP" something. However, I just added music manually without the program, but when I put it in the Music folder, I am unable to put the songs in album. So I now have 700 songs just randomly in the Music folder. Whenever I add another folder in Music, with the album name, it never makes it to the phone.
Why is that?
Thanks. Also, give fix for the reception problem! Can't get any.. But it's great as an mp3 player

When you've added music to the phone manually, go into the music library and refresh it.

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library?

What is the problem with Itunes 11.0.1.12 and adding music to the Library? I had no problems when I updated, just had to get used to the new format and appearance. Added a few albums here and there, and then today I can't get anything in the Library. I've always just dragged and dropped my music with no problems. I've had an Ipod for the last six years and never encountered any big problems with Itunes or my various Ipods.

Why is this Itunes such a pile of junk? If I restart my computer I can sometimes find the recently added music in my Itunes Library.
It would be nice to know if other people are having the same problems.

Help Needed! I have created a 13 Min Slide Show in iPhoto (iMac Mavericks) but am having problem with adding music.

I created a 13 min Slide Show in iPhoto but have a question on adding music. I would like to add music clips that are set to change at the beginning of certian slides so that there is a varity of music during the show rather than a continuous theme clip. I know you can add multiple clips but can you pin them to change at a particular point in the program? Right now the music clips just run to their time limit and the next one starts. Isn't there a way to edit them the way it can be done in iMovie? Its frustrating to be able to create a nice slide show and not be able to manage the music background. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

No, you don't have that fine grained control of the soundtrack in iPhoto. It's designed for a quick job, not a complex one.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299
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 Pro X is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

Problem playing selected music with slideshow

Hi
I am having trouble playing music with slideshows since updating to iphoto 6. I can see all my playlists and I am able to select the playlist I want and this will play in the 'play music during slideshow' window. However, when I play the slideshow I receive an error message telling me that 'the music you have selected can't be found or can't be opened'.
This has only been a problem since updating and it doesn't matter what playlist I choose - they will all play in both iTunes and the selection screen for the slideshpw but not actually with the slideshow (the play music with slideshow box is ticked).
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I am about to throw my mac out the window.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. What version of Quicktime are you running? You should be at 7.1.5. If not update to it and give it another try.
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.
