Re: Why can I not assign specific music to a slideshow?

Question

I thought that I had tried everything, until I came across this Thread:

It was just the simple-dimple problem and once I followed the lori steps, I "found" the library music.
So simple. So dumb.
Thank You Very Much!

Oh, is there any way to find the default music that comes w/slideshow. I'd like to use it in an iTunes folder together w/another song, as the default tune is too short. I know I have to put them both in the same folder/album, but I can't find that default music?
Ok, found it. It's called "Acoustic Sunrise.aif" (yeah, I know it's lame but it fits in well with the first part of my slideshow), but I can't get to it. Any advice would be appreciated. Path='/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects/Jingles

Bill:
The default music is located in the iPhoto (application package)/Contents/Resources/Music folder. You open the iPhoto package by Control-clicking on the application and selecting "Show package contents" from the Contextual menu. You can add tracks to that folder is you want a different default song.
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.
