Shuffling Songs when in Photo Slideshow

I can't figure out how to shuffle the songs on selected playlist when viewing the photo slideshow. Selecting shuffle songs in the main menu doesn't work while in the slideshow; it always starts with the first song in the series and doesn't shuffle. Am I missing something here?

not sure about that, but I think the slideshow function could definitely be improved

  • Any way to see song title during photo slideshow?

    I enjoy music with photo slideshows and would love to find a way to see the title of the song that is playing. I have a large music library and sometimes a song comes on that I either love or hate and it would be nice to know the artist/title. Any way?

    It's not quite the same thing but if you set your screensaver to play slideshows and then selected to play music, say the shuffle option after 2 minutes (default) the screensaver would kick in and you have your slideshows complete with music, if you then heard a track you wanted info about you could just kill the screensaver by pressing the menu button.

  • Shuffle songs when selecting playlist by genre

    When I choose to listen to songs by "genre" on my iPhone, the new OS seems to not allow me to shuffle all sings within that genre, only songs within an artist or album. Am I missing something?

    I know how to play songs shuffled within a playlist
    using iTunes... but when I select playlist on my
    iPod the songs are not shuffled. How do I shuffle
    songs within a playlist when playing them on the
    iPod??
    Thanks.

    Under the Settings menu, select Shuffle. Try setting the shuffle to to "Songs" rather than "Albums". That's what worked for me. Also works to shuffle songs from your entire library under Music/Songs. If you have it set to album, it will shuffle the albums but not the songs within the album. Hope this helps!

  • Can i add 2 or more songs to a photo slideshow in iDVD?

    I have added 1 song to my iDVD project, however I can't add a 2nd (or 3rd) for that matter..Anyone have a solution?

    For multiple songs in an iDVD slideshow create a playlist in iTunes and use that as shown below:

  • Steady image when positioning (photo slideshows)

    Can anyone remind me how to hold an image on the horizontal or vertical plane if you're moving it on the other?
    ie lock it on the horizontal, whilst moving it up or down?
    I had thought you did this by holding down the shift key - but am currently doing my first one for a while, and that doesn't seem to be working.
    Cheers.

    Makes me think it's a new glitch with iDVD 6.0.3,
    I think it may have something to do with rendering in iMovie, based on conversations here; and it goes back to previous versions of iLife:

  • Video in Shuffle Songs

    Okay, I could be completely wrong here, but bear with me.
    I seem to remember, months ago, when I clicked shuffle songs, it'd play the music videos as well and actally show the video.
    Now when I click shuffle songs, when a video plays, it shows like 5 seconds in as the album cover and plays the audio, but the video doesn't work.
    Am I just imagining that it ever did? Or is it supposed to play music videos? If yes, can someone help me fix it?

    You're imaging it. To watch the actual Music Video, you have to go straight through the Videos menu. From the Main Menu, go to Videos, Music Videos, and select the MV you'd like to "watch." Shuffle Songs just shuffles Songs, meaning, Main Menu > Music > Songs. If you were to access those same MVs via the Songs list, the video wouldn't play. Make sense? Probably not.

  • Has Apple gotten rid of the the ability to shuffle songs in a particular genre?

    Why can't I shuffle songs when I choose a certain genre?  Has this feature been eliminated?

    WTH Apple is all I can say!  I used this option daily...The only way around this is to go under songs, and using the search option, start to type the genre you want.  It will eventually come up.  But holy moley...might as well call it IOS 7 minus itunes shuffle by genre...Who are the genius's making these calls? 

  • Add more than one song to photo slideshow

    How can I have more than one song playing on the photo slideshow?

    Hello Lmaemacmillan,
    This can be done by tapping multiple songs when choosing music for your slideshow.
    To play music while the slideshow plays, tap to turn on Play Music.
    iPhoto comes with a collection of theme music; to choose one of those songs, tap Theme Music. To select a song on your device, tap Music. If you select more than one song, they play in the order you tapped them.

  • IOS8.1 Music App won't play "Skip When Shuffling" songs at all

    iTunes has two options for skipping a song during shuffle:  the first column with the tick box (let's call this the "Play Column"), and the "Skip When Shuffling" tick box in the Options tab of the song info.
    For songs in iTunes where the Play Column is unticked but Skip When Shuffling box is also unticked, this works as it should when synced to the iPhone:  ie the song doesn't come up in shuffle, but it can still be selected & played directly on Music app.
    But when the Skip When Shuffling box is ticked (regardless of whether the Play Column is ticked or not), the song can't even be selected & played directly on the Music app.  When selected, it just picks another random song from my playlist to start shuffling from.
    It's like the Skip When Shuffling option overrides the Play Column (no idea why iTunes should have two different options to do the same thing anyway), but has also now stopped the App from playing the song at all.  I've tested this by unticking the Skip When Shuffling box in iTunes & re-syncing to the iPhone, and the Music app now plays the songs when selected directly.
    My iPhone 4S using iOS8 always played these songs with no problem, so this is a new issue/bug/feature with either iO8.1 or the app in the iPhone 6 itself.

    What kind of Music App are you using?
    Maybe some Apps they have bugs when using iOS7.
    I'm using MVDIO and zingmp3, it's still okay here.

  • Is there a way to create a playlist that will not play the songs when shuffle is selected?

    I created a playlist of children's songs to play in my kindergarten classroom.  I placed these songs in a specific playlist so I could easilly access them when needed.  Problem is, when I'm working out, I don't want these songs to pop up in my "shuffle" mix.  How do I designate this playlist to only contribute songs when selected?

    You can also set the "Skip when shuffling" property of the children's songs to Yes. Select the songs, Get. Info., look on the Options tab.

    I'd ask that on the iPad forum.

  • Apple TV reboots when viewing photos and selecting slideshow mode

    Just purchased the A-TV, so only experience is with the 2.3 OS release. I can view my synced photos without issue, but when I select slideshow mode, the screen goes black for a few minutes and then the box reboots. The diagnostics state there is not a hardware problem, but this is hopefully not a 'feature' of A-TV. Help!

    Welcome to the  Discussion Forums.
    There could be a/some photos causing a problem, are you able to sync your photos in batches to try to eliminate this possibility.

    I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
    Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
    It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

  • My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    My iPod shuffle erases songs when I plugg it back into my computer after I erase the songs I just put in it?

    That's how it is supposed to work.  The library on your Shuffle is set to mirror your iTunes library on your PC or Mac.  So if you add some music and configure to sync to the Shuffle, removing it from iTunes, would also remove it from your Shuffle.
    The only way to avoid this is to set up the Shuffle for manual management. See the appropriate section in this Apple support document on how to manually manage your iPod's contents.

  • IMovie Photo Slideshow -- photos `flicker' when played

    I have been working on a photo slideshow in iMovie '08 for a couple of days. Everything has been fine, but all of a sudden today, nearly a quarter of the photos seem to flicker or jump when they come up during the show. The `jump' only lasts a fraction of a second and then goes into the Ken Burns effect I set up.
    I have it set up for each photo to be on screen for 3 seconds. Any ideas or thoughts on this would be appreciated.

    i am experiencing this as well. the weird thing is i have made 4 image slideshows in iMovie and the first 3 i made are fine. i came back and made a fourth and it has the "jump" in the image as it changes images.
    it looks like the original image is being displayed initially and the repositioned as specified in iMovie.
    any help is greatly appreciated!
