Several tunes with slideshow

Is there a way in iphoto to add more than one song to a slide show? I have more slides than fit one song so I'd like to use several songs in the show rather than repeating the same song twice.

You don't say which version of iPhoto, but since you're asking, your version must not have the capability for multiple tracks. Here's what you can do...
Put the songs you want to use in an iTunes playlist (set custom start and stop times so the combination has the duration you want). Burn that playlist to a CD (you might use CDRW media to reuse if you're going to do this more than once).
When the burn is done, put the CD back in the drive and it should show up in the left side panel of iTunes. Select the multiple tracks and go to the "Advanced" menu. Select the "Join Tracks" item. Import the selection back into iTunes, and use this (joined) track for your slideshow audio.

  • I am losing music with slideshows in iPhoto.

    After a recent automatic update (I think to the operating system), the iPhoto program began losing all music associated with slideshows, seemingly whenever the power was completely shut down.  I am using iPhoto 11, version 9.4.3.  After the power has been shut down, the music files previously associated with the slide shows are no longer associated.  I can see my iTunes library in the iPhoto program, but it will not let me add music, and gives me an error message something to the effect of, "...cannot be added because the original file cannot be located."  If I go into iTunes and create a new playlist, I can then again add music to the slide shows.
    I did not have this problem prior to the recent updates.  Is there a way to maintain the link between the iPhoto slide show and the music even if the power is shut down?  It seemed to be able to do this prior to the recent updates.
    Is there a way to save the entire slideshow to a file or DVD, so I can simply play it from a DVD or re-load it?
    This seems to be an issue with the recent updates required by Apple.
    Thanks.

    1. As a former and current PC user, I have had several problems because I failed to update PC programs as recommended (security patches in Adobe Flash Player, etc.).  I assumed Apple was the same way; the programs would generally work better and be more secure if I installed the recommended updates that periodically arrived from Apple.  Perhaps I am mistaken and you could offer some better suggestions.
    2. I am using iPhoto '11, version 9.4.3.  It may not be the version I was using when I initially encountered the problem a few days ago.  When it happened, I checked the Ap store for recommended updates, and there was one for iPhoto, so I updated to see if that would fix the problem.  It does not seem to have fixed it.  I purchased this iMac as my first Apple system nearly two years ago, and have been using the software that came installed on it, altered only (as far as I know) by the recommended updates.  I generally really like it.  I am using Mac OS X version 10.7.5.  I don't know how to check to see if the iPhoto version is compatible with the OS X version
    3. The exact error message is, "The song "____" could not be used because the original file could not be located."
    I have some slide shows on the iMac that we put to music out of iTunes and play on the iMac.  As long as the computer is put to sleep, and not shut down, the link to the music remains.  If the computer gets shut down, the iPhoto loses the link to music files.  When I open iPhoto, the slide show is there, but the music does not play with the photos.  When I open the music settings, I can open and see my iTunes library, but when I drag songs into the field for the slide show, it will not allow the songs to remain in the field.  I then double click again on the song I just tried to add to the slide show, and the error message above appears.
    I went to the support page, and it suggested that I close iPhoto, go into iTunes, copy the iTunes Music Library.xml file to the desktop, go back into iTunes, create a new playlist, then open iPhoto and try again.  Going through this process seems to allow me to again add iTunes songs to the slideshow.  I just lose everything again whenever the power shuts down.  I thought saving the slideshow onto a DVD might work, but I have not figured out how to do that yet.  Is that a reasonable solution?  I could potentially save them to a DVD, flash drive, or the back-up Airport disk.  It appeared in the support community that people had difficulty with saving the format when the slideshow was saved directly from iPhoto, but that it worked better when first transferred to the video program (iMovie?).  I have never used the video program and don't know if I even have it.  I welcome any suggestions you may have.
    4. I have not noticed any other strange things with iPhoto.
    Thanks for your help,

  • I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don't remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone.

    How i said on the question. I tried to upgrade the ios on the phone and I was asked for my icloud user and password. I don’t remember these exactly and I tried several times with different options but unsuccessfully. I also forget my email used to configurate the phone. I have the phone box and the bill. I sent you an email with my problem and attachments with the box informations, the bill and the reset request. What to do? You said to me:
    Your request comes from an unrecognized email domain. Apple accepts email requests only from email domains for Apple-authorized carriers.
    Please re-submit your request using your official carrier domain.
    but this email is authorized, what to do??

  • HT1918 My name is Paul Augsburger I have had several issues with my account and they are now fixed with one exception,  I have two Apple ID accounts, and I would like to combine them. Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for further information.

    Please contact me at pra1949 (at) me (dot) com for any further contact I don not monitor the suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com email.
    I have had several iisues with my Apple ID accounts and spent many hours at the APPLE store in Richmond Va. getting them fixed. The technician was wonderful, patient and very knowlegeable, however he was not able to complete the task and said I needed to contact Apple support for the final step. During the process of fixing things I ended up with two APPLE ID accounts. my main accout is suelefriends (at) gmail (dot) com and the second account is "pra1949 (at) me (dot) com" I have most of my apps tied to the main account with only a few to the pra1949 account. I also have $25 worth of credit on the pra1949 account. Because of the two accounts it still makes updating apps very confusing and very cumbersome. I would like to have the two accounts merged so I end up with one account with all the money and APPS tied to it, that way I only need one password to update. I hope this is possible.

    These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here and they don't monitor these forums - I've asked the hosts to remove yout account ids from your post.
    In terms of combining accounts it's not currently possible to do so, nor to copy/transfer content from account to another.

  • 1. I have an iPod which has purchases synced with I tunes with an apple ID. I now have an iPad with a new ID for cloud. I have cloud storage capacity of 5gb which came with the iPad. How can I use one ID and store my existing music in cloud?

    HI Frostyfrog
    CHeck out iTunes Match which has an annual fee of £21 or thereabouts. You can store a maximum of 25,000 songs there and they all become available on your other kit, iPhone, iPad and iPod. I know it works as I have over 23000 songs uploaded of which only a few we're bought through iTunes.
    it works by comparing your music to the whole iTunes music dadata base so you access the same tunes that you could get from iTunes. If you have obscure stuff, it uploads your own music to the cloud as a copy.
    I Find it incredible that on my iPhone with its 16gb memory I can view almost 200 gb of music (ie my 23000 songs) and play any of them. Anything I add to iTunes becomes available via the cloud fairly quickly from a few minutes or a little longer if adding a lot.
    The first time you use it it will take quite a while to match your music if you have a lot, but after that it is all automatic. Read the stuff on the apple site. Your PC needs to be at least running Vista. I recommend it and at less than 50p a week it's good value.
    Good luck

  • Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution?

    Since I upgrade my iphone 3gs to ios 5.1, I have several problems with network and wi-fi, any solution? (No jailbreak)
    Most of the time the iphone cannot reach any network and when it can, there is no data transfer, I can only make calls and sms.

  • I created a 2nd library for my husbands music and now I can't find my original library. I did hold down the shift key to open itunes but is still comes up with the new library. What am I doing wrong? I tried several times with no luck. Thank you.

    I just got an Ipod Classic recently and downloaded Itunes. Got my music on my Ipod. My husband just got an Ipod Touch. I followed the directions on how to create a 2nd library and was able to load his music onto his Ipod. My problem is now I can not find my original library. I did what the directions said about holding down the shift key while opening Itunes and it still goes to the 2nd library that I created. How do i get my original library to come up? I tried several times with the same results. Please let me know what I need to do to be able to get into either library. Thank You.

    Does the original library file still exist on the computer?  Hopefully when creating the new library it was done in a seperate folder as I do not believe iTunes allows for two library files in the same location.

  • IPhone 5c was powered off; when turned back on screen only shows in black and white.  Have tried several times with no success. Any suggestions?

    I purchased the iPhone 5c about 4 months ago.  I turned it off briefly last night and when I turned it back on, the screen wallpaper and app icons are now in black and white.  I have tried turning it off and on again several times with no success; screen still shows only black and white.  All other functions of phone/text work correctly. Any suggestions on what to try?

    Hello Teri,
    You may have greyscale turned on. Try going to Settings > General > Accessibility and toggle that off and it should go back to color. Check out the page below for more information.

    Can you attach a screenshot or link to the instructions you are following?
    You are on the 3.6 release and Firefox 7.0.1 is out. You can download and install the latest release from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ if you would like to update now. The 3.6 version will be maintained for a while longer, but you should update when you can.

  • Flash web gallery - style.xml start with slideshow in play?

    When creating a web gallery with Lightroom, using a default flash template, a style.xml sheet is created. Does anyone know the line of code in that style.xml that sets the gallery to load with the slideshow in play mode?
    thanks,
    Donnie

    Please excuse the bump...
    Anyone with a LR flash gallery that starts with slideshow in play mode?
    Can it even be set to do this?
    The only code in the style.xml that looks like it might be realted is line 12 <playOptions playMode="pause"/>, changing that to "play" does nothing.
    Thanks,

  • I am on i tunes with an i pod shuffle. I now want to get the i phone 3gs and use as an i pod as well as a phone. will my computer be ok for that? how can I find out

    I am om i tunes with an i pod shuffle. I am now thinking of getting the i phone 3 gs. How do I know if my computer will be ok to download tunes?

    you shouldn't have a problem, itunes allows up to a certain number of devices on the same account, around 10 maybe? we have 2 iphones, an ipod touch 4g and an ipod nano syncing and downloading from the same itunes account.

  • Severe problem with 'Drill to Related' using drill icon

    Hi
    I have a severe problem with 'Drill to Related' in Discoverer Plus (10.1.2.54.25) using the drill icon of a worksheet:
    1. Though existing no items to drill to are shown in the context menu (or pop-up list), instead it says just 'Drill to Related...'
    2. Clicking on menue item 'Drill to Related...' results in 50% processor load (permanent) and no further update of the browser window (IE 7.0.5730.11) containig Discoverer Plus. There is no recovery of that state within about 20 minutes.
    This behaviour is both highly reproducible and annoying.
    When using the drill dialog instead of the icon the expected items are shown and 'Drill to Related' works fine. Although that is a workaround I don't think it acceptable to tell the end-users to use it.
    I searched metalink for a hint but couldn't find anything.
    Can anyone help?
    Franziska

    Hi S
    This seems to be a bug that was fixed earlier since we didn't experience it having applied cumulative patch 3 earlier.
    Something might be said about your problem in Metalink
    Doc ID: Note:422575.1
    Subject: Drilling With Discoverer Viewer 10g (10.1.2) Using Internet Explorer 7 (IE7) Fails With Javascript Error
    We still had to apply the patch for the bug I mentioned earlier in this thread in order to be able to see and select an item to drill to. Unfortunately the problem with the processor load up to 50% and nothing happening is still there.
    By the way IE 7 is certified now according to the Oracle certification information.
    Hope this helps
    Franziska

  • Displaying several tables with same structure

    There are several tables with the same structure (number of columns, column names, column types etc.) and corresponding ADF BC view objects.
    A user should interactively choose the table he or she wants to edit. The UI remains the same for any given table.
    I need advice on how to implement this optimally, considering ease of development and performance.
    Right now I'm planning to use a SelectOneListbox for choosing and hide and show some containers with tables and forms for editing.
    I feel it should be quite easy, but I am an ADF newbie and feel puzzled :)
    Thanks in advance for any help!
