Selected music not playing in slideshow

I have four tracks from my iTunes folder I want to play in a slideshow. I have followed directions but only the first song plays and it plays over and over, ignoring the other 3 songs. Anyone else have this problem.

Had a similar problem. It resolved when I closed both iPhoto and iTunes, then opened iTunes before reopening iPhoto and reselecting music and applying to slideshow.
A week later I have a new problem. Although the custom playlist still exists, the slideshow only plays a track from Theme Music (which was 3rd track in playlist along with 2 songs from iTunes). I have deleted the tracks from Custom Playlist and added them in again, clicked on Apply, and it still only plays the one track from Theme Music (the same track selected automatically when I first chose the theme for the slideshow). What to do...

My music not playing with slideshow

Since updating my iPhoto to version '11 version 9.5, the music I select to play with my slideshows does not play. The canned theme music does play however.

I had problems with some 3rd party slideshow apps when I had the library on an external HD. However, I'm not sure I moved it there like I told you to do.
If you have Quicktime Pro there is a fairly easy way to add your music to the slideshow. It goes like this:
1 - export the slideshow from iPhoto without the music.
2 - if you have more than one music track to use join them together into a new file with an audio editor like Garageband, Amadeus Pro or Audacity.
3 - open your music track with QT Pro 7.
4 - Open the slideshow movie with QT Pro.
4 - in the slideshow window type Command+A (select all) and then Command+C (copy).
5 - go to the slideshow window in QT Player and select Edit->Add to Selection and Scale.
6 - save the merged item as a self contained movie.
This will add the slideshow to the music and scale the slideshows length to match the music. Don't do it the other way around as the music timing will be altered changing the speed and pitch of the music.
With this method and if you have more than one track you can overlap and fade between tracks eliminating the dead air that often results between tracks. It also will assure that the music will end with the last slide. NOTE: I add a blank, black slide at the end of my slideshows so the last slide fades to black and the music ends on the black slide.

Music not playing in slideshows

I need help with getting the music to play in my slideshow, its not playing at all. My music is in .mp3 or .m4a format and neither will play. I cant get them to work at all. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

Bazmikter,
You also may want to post your questions in more detail (include the steps you have taken) in the iMovie forum. This forum is a general iMac forum, while someone here may know the answer you increase your chances by posting in the forum for the app you are having troubles with.

ITunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

iTunes music not playing in iPhoto slideshow after upgrading to Maverick....Why?

Yes, the tracks were purchased in the iTunes store. I'm sure that DRM is the culprit. Seems like an obvious answer now that I think about it.
Thanks for the help.

Music stopped playing during slideshow

My slideshow was previously working fine. Playlist I selected would play no probelm with each slideshow. Have played them numerous times. Now suddenly the music will not play. Slideshow runs fine, Play music box is checked, correct playlist is chosen etc, etc...but no more sound. It is like the mute button is on. ITunes was just recently update, could this be the problem?

Hi Doug,
Thanks for the reply. No we haven't had any recent updates in that department...not that we recall anyhow...sorry we aren't that techie. Our new Mac just seems to do everything on its own! I should mention that for each slideshow there are about 2-4 songs each. Out of the total (about 15 songs) there is the odd one that will start playing in the middle of the show..so about 3 songs that do play..odd. I didn't realize that quicktime has anything to do with the iphoto? As I've never seen it pop up or anything?? Any more advice or help would be appreciated!
Thanks, Jen

"Select music to play from the music library" error mess

This is an error that I am just after spotting today. When I navigate through my music collection and through the various options?on the Creative Vision M 30GB the message "Select music to play from the music library" appears for a few seconds on screen.
Can figure out what is causing the error, I am using just over 50% of the devices capacity. The problem suggests that the device is having problems keeping up with my selections. Is this a known bug, is there a software undate available for the device?Michael.Message Edited by Mike55 on 08-6-200709:09 AM

Thanks for the reply, but I just reset the setting and the massage didn't come up anymore.

Music Not Played Recently

In an effort to make the iPhone truly randomly shuffle music (I hear the same tracks multiple times per day even though I have shuffle turned on) I created a "Smart" Playlist called "Music Not Played Recently".
This supposedly Smart Playlist contains only one rule as follows:
"Last Played is not in the last 14 days"
There are about 1200 tracks on my iPhone but I still hear the same tracks multiple times per day so this playlist does not work. (I thought perhaps I had a few duplicate tracks but no there is only one version of each track on the iPhone and in my collection)
In iTunes the playlist seems to work fine and I can see tracks drop out of the list as they are played.
Question is:
Do Smart Playlists such as the above work on the iPhone?
If not, why not?
If so, what am I doing wrong that it works in iTunes but not on the iPhone?

anyone?

Safari 3.1.2 will not play iweb slideshows

Hi All
I have never done this, so I hope I ask the right question.
Safari on my G5 will not play any slideshows, made with iWeb. And this is not a problem only with my websites, but from others too! I have two pc's at home as well and I have checked in different places. The slideshows are playing OK on those machines. I have been trying to get this resolved for weeks now, trying to find answers on forums, but haven't found any. And 'yes' I have turned plugins etc, on in the prefs. Hope someone can help.
Harry

Hi Toni, and a warm welcome to the forums!
In the Safari Menu, Empty Caches, quit Safari, then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.

Iphoto 08 slideshow music not playing

After making a slideshow with iphoto I mixed some songs together using garageband, then exported the mixed songs to iTunes.
But when I choose that track in iTunes for my slideshow it doesn't play. I've tried a bunch of other songs they won't play either. I have done this before using iphoto 06 and didn't have any problems. But now with 08 I can't seem to get any music to play with my slideshow.
Which means no exporting to iDVD, no burning to a disk, no showing off to my friends.
Can anybody tell me what my problem is??

soulmanbdr529:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get non-Garageband mixed playlists to work in iPhoto's slideshows? If so then there's something GB is doing to the joined tracks that iPhoto doesn't like. For that you'd probably get more informed responses in the Garageband forums.
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 created 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Help! Music not "playing" in Itunes

So I updated to the newest version of iTunes (7.3.2) today and upgraded my iPhone to 1.1.1.
Now, any music in my iTunes library will not play. The top of the screen shows the song title and artists name/album, and the run time...but nothing happens. I hit play...nothing. I try clicking randomly along the track...nothing. My volume is up (I can load up Youtube and listen with no issues. As many times as I hit Play/Pause, it never moves. My Apple TV works fine as does my iPhone. Anyone know why?

Searched and found the answer...for those curious...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1178079&tstart=0
Finally, someone figured it out!
Basically,
Start Menu>Control Panel>(at this point, I just typed "Quicktime" into the search menu)QuickTime, then click the Audio tab and in that tab, the "Select Audio Playback and Recording Devices" button. A small window popped up and said some sort of driver enhancement was causing problems, would I like to stop it? Click Yes.
Try iTunes again--mine finally works now!

Music not playing in music app on IPAD 2

My iPad 2 is just not playing music in the music app. I can click play, it says it is playing but the bar doesnt move to indicate playback and there is no sound. I've tried closing the app and restarting the device. Does anyone have any ideas?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Music Not Playing Through iTunes (Windows 7)

Good Day Folks!
For about the 20th time, I have turned on my external hard drive and iTunes and none of my music will play. The speakers are working just fine. However, when I select a song to play literally nothing happens.
I searched online for answers and checked the wired and all the control panel suggestions that have been made...still nothing.
Can anyone assist? This is getting annoying and tiring.
Thanks,
Bill

Have you tried using any other headphones?
Or maybe try plugging your headphones into another device to see if they work.
Because it could be the headphones not working.
If not, come back to me. :)

Purchased Music Not Playing on iPod but on iTunes

Before I start, I have had this problem before (6 months ago) and it resolved itself through some unknown fix (with the help of a Apple Genius Bar who had no idea what worked). The purchased songs - mine and others who use my computer - play fine in iTunes, and play from the iPod on a PowerBook, and plays purchased music loaded from a PowerBook - but will NOT play purchased songs when sync'd to my Windows laptop (I know. . .). I have restored, deauthorized, reauthorized, restored on PowerBook and then again on Window laptop. . . Still NO music. As it does for everyone else, it plays burned music. . . I am stumped. I am open to anything short of incantations. It does seem to have started soon after iTunes 7 was loaded. . .

I gave up with the glitch and got another iPod. . .

Purchased videos and music not playing on ipod

i purchased some music and videos, while using my wifes powerbook g4, loaded them onto my ipod (which i had setup using my pc) now i see the music and videos and when i try playing them the music shows up then goes to the next song. the videos just go to a black screen.
now i have loaded my cd's onto my wifes powerbook and have been able to play them on my ipod no problem. just the purchased music/videos from itunes, is not playing
what did i do wrong.

Did you update the firmware on the iPod? Supposibly if fixes a few bugs.
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
If you didn't then try that. Believe me your problem is not with not using that CD as I never even popped the disk in my CD drive untill after I had updated my iPod as the software was outdated before it arrived at my house.
