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!

  • Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from iPhoto events?

    Is there a way to create a multiple event screen saver from photos in iphoto?  I can create a single event screen saver, but don't know if it is possible to create a screen saver with more than one event.

    Drag the events you want into an album and have the screen saver run from the album.

  • How do I move photo's from an IPhoto album to a flash drive stick?

    I Need to know how to move photo's from a IPhoto album to a flash drive stick. Also how do I make sure the stick is formatted and blank

    ALbums in iPhoto have manul sorting. When you export from iPhoto you send the files to the Finder and that doesn't. It can sort in many ways, but perhaps the most usual is by name. So, rename the photos and then export them using the title as filename or the album name and number or even Sequential.
    When you go File -> Export note the option at the bottom of the Export dialogue:

    No. The photos will remain in iPhoto on your computer. You are just deleting them from the iPad.

  • Screen saver from remote photo feed?

    This is both an iPhoto and an OS X question.  A few years ago I was able to 1) use iPhoto to automatically sync an album up to my apple cloud storage and then 2) configure my mom's computer's screen saver to subscribe to that feed so she could see all the photos.  This was a great system, it just worked, when I dragged notable pictures in iPhoto into that album, they started showing up on her screen saver a thousand miles away.
    It appears that at least one half of this capability -- screen savers from remote servers -- is gone in Lion, and perhaps the iPhoto album sync-to-cloud feature too, I haven't checked, it doesn't matter since I would need both halves.
    Does anyone know a way to do this still under Lion or a piece of software I could purchase that would do this easily?  I do NOT want to cobble together some myriad of complex pieces involving iPhoto manual file exports and other manual steps -- I want something that is seamless and automated.  Thanks.

    Afraid not.

  • Screen saver from folder?

    In OS 10.8.5 is it possible to have the screen saver show pictures from a folder on the desktop?
    I can't see that option.
    You can do this with the desktop picture but thats not what I want.

    When I go to the Screensaver tab in the "Desktop & Screensaver" pane of System Preferences, I can select a theme, i.e. Classic, and then in the right half of the window, there's a drop-down menu for "source."
    Click "Choose Folder" and then select the folder you want.

  • Is there a way to remove duplicates from all iphoto albums at once rather than one by one

    I have somehow copied many photos and want to clean up my iphoto albums.  does anyone have info if this is possible.

    1.  There are 3rd party programs that do this...I don't know of any free ones.  When I had this problem, I ended up deleting the duplicates, one by one, as I didn't have that many to deal with. 
    2.  However when I asked this same question a long time ago, I was told a really nifty trick (for iPhoto 8).
    First create a folder on the Desktop (I name mine "photos") and Drag/Drop or Copy the photos from the camera or source folder (could be on hard drive) into the Desktop folder named "photos".  Then using iPhoto, import the photos from the Desktop folder.  As it imports, iPhoto checks if the photos are duplicates and gives you choice to import the dupes or not.  This has saved me countless times.

  • 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.

  • How do I create a screen saver from a video file?

    I've been trying to search for an answer to this question for 20 minutes, without luck, so I figured the best course of action is to ask the experts.
    I'm a video editor.  If I cut together a series of clips, of any length, how do I make that movie into a screen saver that will be usable on OS X Lion and Windows XP?  I would assume that it's just a matter of converting the movie file to something that an operating system recognizes and will play as a screen saver (on both platforms), but I cannot Google my way into finding the answer... I'm wanting to make a video screen saver for my wife for Christmas.  PLEASE HELP!!!
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    There are a few tools you can use. This page lists a couple. It looks like you can download a trial version and see if it'll do what you want. If not there's another one on that page.
    If you're handy with programming, you can also create your own with Xcode. There's an article here that talks about it, though it's a bit old, and might be somewhat out of date.
    But just dropping SWF files probably isn't going to work. A screen saver is a special kind of program...

  • How to auto update a web gallery from an iphoto album?

    how do you set-up an iphoto album to automatically update a web gallery album?
    so if i add a new photo to an existing album on my computer that has a corresponding web gallery album that web gallery will know to add that photo
    i'm trying to keep the web gallery album in sync with the same named album on my computer

    That is not a current feature of iPhoto - you will need to add the photo to both the album and the web gallery album
    To suggest to Apple - iPhoto menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback

  • I am trying to burn a DVD from an iphoto album, I placed it in the order I want , but it does not burn in that order, and has picked up other photos not in the album

    I have created an album of phots, moved into order I want to burn, cd and dvd. It burned out of order in album and also added pictures not in Album highlighted to burn. Also was hard to view all pictures and move more quickly into order to view. I am use to using powerpoint and shows all slides at 1 time small thumnails so easy to move

    Re the order on the DIsk:
    When you export from iphoto you are in the Finder and that doesn't have the same sorting options as iPhoto. There is no "manual" sorting in the Finder, for instance.
    Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
    Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
    Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
    Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
    Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
    Burn that to the disk.
    I'm sorry but I haven't a clue what the rest of your query is about.
    Regards

  • Pictures from an iphoto album are not in iphoto library HELP

    I have photos in an album on my iphoto but they are not actually in the library?? how does this make sense!? so when i come to delete them i dont know if they're deleted or not.
    also another topic is that to delete a picture in i phioto i have to delete it from the library dont i as if i delete it form an album it just deletes it from the album??
    sprry probably very dumb questions but im just trying to figure it all out.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    If the photos are in an Album, then they are in an Event, somwhere.
    One way to find them might be to flag them, which will help them stand out a little as you search.
    Yes, to remove a pic from iPhoto it needs to be removed from the Library view - either Events or Photos.

  • Why can't I send a mail from an iPhoto Album in Safari

    After uploading an album from iPhoto I open the gallery in Safari 3.2.1.
    Then I get the option of sending a mail under "Tell a friend". I enter my mailadress and the addressees' mailaddress and then I try to enter the scrambled letters in the designated box. However these don't get accepted and another set of letters appear and I have to try again. This continuous ad nauseam.
    In the iPhoto-forum someone suggested I clear the cache but that didn't help, also that I delete the browsers preference file. So I removed com.apple.Safari.plist. That helped for a couple of hours, but now the problem has reocurred.
    Anybody has any ideas please? Thanks

    I have meanwhile installed Firefox 3.0.5, but that doesn't solve the problem. So it maybe isn't a Safari problem?
