Screensaver Slideshow Stuck on 2 photos

When we run our screensaver slideshow, it will run fine for a little while and then always gets stuck on just two photos (not the same every time). It will slideshow just these two photos from that point on, unless you restart the slideshow. Any ideas?

I also have the same problem. It only seems to happen in conjunction with an iPhoto slideshow, if you just point to a folder of images and have it randomly cycle through them there's no problem, but consistently when I point the screensaver slideshow at my iPhoto library, it eventually gets stuck on two photos. Very irritating and I found at least two threads regarding this. C'mon Apple, step it up!?!

  • IPhoto stuck on "Loading photos"

    Hi everybody! Hope you can help me. Once I click on iPhoto it opens iPhoto window, but just gets stuck staying "Loading photos" with a wheel that just keeps turning. Im using iPhoto version 6.0.6. The last thing I did using this program was to upload pictures. I left iPhoto on all night, but still found it saying "Loading photos" the next morning. Also tried to look through others posts, but my iPhoto version seems newer than theirs. Would appreciate your help. Thanks

    apldapple:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If smtr's suggestion doesn't not clear up the problem try deleting the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist. Then launch iPhoto and see if it will open OK.
    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.

    My iPhone 5s (16GB) is stuck with 3948 photos (shown on the iTunes storage bar) on and I can not find a way to delete them all! It's very annoying as it takes up 6.54 GB of space and leaves me no room to add films, music...etc on to it. Please help me!!! I have already tried the numerous articles Apple have sent my way and I am still having no luck.I'd be eternally grateful if anyone could find a solution for me as this has been a problem for almost a year. Thank you.

    If they were put there via iTunes sync process, then simply untick the Music box before syncing again.

  • Convert iphoto book into a slideshow for iDVD one photo at a time in order

    Hi I've read a couple of posts that were helpful on this topic, but I have one more requirement to add.
    What I'd like is a slideshow made of photos that are now in a BOOK on iPhoto that I can export to iDVD to burn for viewing on a TV.
    The two requirements are:
    each photo shows up as an individual slide rather than each slide looking like a BOOK page with more than one photo on it.
    There were some posts suggesting to rate each photo and create a SMART ALBUM out of them. That has worked so far to get each photo in an ALBUM.
    However, I would like to keep the same order that is in the book. So how do I do this?
    Is there anyway to sort a smart album by the time order each photo was rated?
    thanks, matt.

    Is there anyway to sort a smart album by the time order each photo was rated?>
    Yes, with one extra step. Create a new, not-Smart album for your slideshow. Select all photos in your Smart Album and drag them to the new album. Now you can use the Sort functions.

    The iPhoto library should be in your user folder/Pictures unless it was moved.

    I am stuck in a photo album with no button to go back! If I press the home button I get back to the main iPhone screen, when I go back to the Facebook app, it brings me straight back to the photo again with no option to et put of there?!

  • In IOS 7, can I play a slideshow of my entire photo collection?

    I can't seem to find an answer to this.  In the new Photos app in IOS 7 I can't find a way to play a slideshow of all my photos.  I can only play slideshows of specific albums (not all) or create customized slideshows by selecting individual photos (way too tedious).
    Someone mentioned playing a slideshow of the Camera Roll album, however that album only contains about 60 images.  Not my entire collection of over 2000 images.
    Further, has the slideshow option from the lockscreen been removed as well?  I used to use my iPad as a digital photo frame, but I can no longer find that option in IOS 7.
    Any help anybody can provide is appreciated.
    (for reference, I'm using IOS version 7.0.3 which was released on or about Oct 23rd)
    Thanks

    The digital photo frame in the lock screen has apparently been removed. Your best best is to create a slide show in the photos app.

  • Slideshow with music in photo stream

    I am struggling to get a slideshow with a music track into photo stream to view through my apple tv, any ideas please

    You cannot add slideshows to photo stream.
    Why do you simply not view the slideshow through the computers >photos section on the Apple TV.
    I am also not sure why you find it difficult adding 300 photos to photo stream, you would simply select them all together and apply the command to add to photo stream.

  • Trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    trying to add album from iphoto into idvd slideshow.  Not all photos are loading.  Message "creating thumbnail images...(31 remaining).  Been there a long time.  What is wrong?

    Open your iPhoto Library, go to that particular album and verify that you can view the full sized version of each image by double clicking on them.  Report back with the results.

  • Slideshow: why do certain photos not show?

    slideshow: why do certain photos not show; they are properly referenced
    Let me expand on this: I have 570 photos in a slide show and all are properly referenced in my library. In the slideshow window, I can see all the pics in the bottom box and when I run "preview slideshow", certain pictures don't appear in the top box whilst the curser moves across the picture in the bottom box. Likewise, if I run the full screen slideshow, that picture(s) does not appear (I have a blank screen); the next picture does show up, howerver... This happens with several dozen pictures, always the same, randomnley amongst the 570...

    Hello Tony and thank you. I regenerated and rebuilt thumbnails; I deleted the slide show and rebuilt it; nothing works. Now, I noticed something weird. All pictures are in an Aperture project and are properly referenced as I said; all the pictures in this project come from a old iPhoto project where some of the pictures are in a "Modified" folder, others in an "Original" project; it is all the pictures in the "Original" project that don't show up in the slide show.... Do you have any idea what I should do?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Are these photos different in any way? Black and White, for instance?

  • Im stuck on "Updating Photo Library" why

    I install the App two weeks ago. I tried to install and reinstall and restart phone etc etc. It is always stuck on "Updating Photo Library"
    The App has never opened?? can I get a refund?
    Steve

    When iPhoto is stuck on updating iPhoto library, it usually means, that there is a problem with photo in your camera roll or albums created in the Photos app.
    When you launch iPhoto the first time, it tries to collect all albums, photo stream, photos in the camera roll and builds an iPhoto library from this.  If you only are seeing an empty library, the problem is probably with the Photos.app and not with iPhoto, i.e., since reinstalling iPhoto did not help. Either one of the photos or videos in your camera roll or photo stream is unreadable, or there is a problem with the albums in the photos.app.
    You could try if saving all photos to a computer and deleting all photos from the iPhone will solve this, or you could backup the contents of the iPhone to iTunes and restore the iPhone to factory settings. See:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    Unfortunately can the Photos.app not be reinstalled on its own, since it is comes as part of the operating system installation.

  • I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo."  How do I make it stop?

    I accidentally touched the auto enhance icon in iPhoto and now the program is stuck at "Updating photo."  How do I make it stop?

    Try to quit iPhoto from the Home Screen - the recent app section.:
    Double click the Home button to reveal the recently used apps.
    Then tap and hold on the iphoto for ios icon until it wiggles. It will show a "minus" sign in the corner.
    Now tap the minus sign to quit the app.
    Click the screen above the row of recent apps to return it to normal.
    Now restart iPhoto and see if it back to normal.
