Slide show dislplay order, am I doing something wrong?

I want my entire Library to run as a slide show so I selected it and then clicked the slide show button. The slide show appears in the source pane but the images in the opposite order that I want them to play, and the View>Sort Photos menu is all grayed out.
I thought maybe I might have to create a new album in order set the display order of the slide show, so I did that and dragged all 6000 or so images to the new album. I then selected the album and clicked the Slide Show button, but alas, I got the same result.
It appears that iPhoto won't display images in slide show in anything but Ascending order, is that correct? Am I missing something?
Thanks.

Hi Old Toad,
In anything other than a slide show (main library, albums and smart albums), I can change the display direction. The option to change display order from ascending to descending, however, is grayed out in the slide show so I can't change it. Plus, even if the album is sorted by descending order, iPhoto, when it creates a slide show from the album, automatically sorts it in ascending order. I'm thinking it's a bug.

I have the same problem, and the solutions in Error changing modules | Lightroom do not work. Even uninstalling and reinstalling a new copy did not solve the problem. As anyone got an idea what other lingering files might be causing the problem?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo?

Is anyone using iPhoto having a problem with the slide show using shatter where it does not let you put a title over photo? It use to work but it no longer lets you place a title over the opening photo.

Is your signature still current?(iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)) I can confirm this for iPhoto '11; Shatter will only show the text slide title between the slides. Ken Burns and Classic theme can still be set to overlay the caption and title directly over the slides.

Is this a bug in ipod software or am i doing something wrong?

I got my ipod video a few weeks ago and was excited to be able to carry all 7000+ songs around in one place.. but then i ran into this problem and i'm not sure if it's a bug or if i'm doing something wrong.
let's say i have exactly one album by an artist.. and i also happen to have some singles from the artist, with no album set... (i prefer not to have albums set for songs i don't have the entire album for, to keep from having to sort through a truckload of albums i don't completely have).
when i browse by artist, and i select the artist, only the songs in the album shows up, all the non-album labeled songs are not visible! the same thing happens when i choose by genre..
in fact the only way to find those songs not bound to an album is to select them from the song list.. and having to scroll through 7000+ songs to find one really bites..
curiously enough, if there is two or more albums, then i can find the songs without albums.. definately sounds like a bug to me.. the software for the ipod video is only at v1.0, maybe they'll fix this (hopefully other ipods don't have this problem, i have no way of knowing though).
one work around i have tried is to set an empty album for the artist's song that has none, but i mean i don't want to do that for all my non-albumed songs because i'm interested in preserving the timestamp of songs (to know when i got them) and i can't reasonably search for songs that have exactly one album to just set those..

when i go to Music > Artist > All, as you suggested, i see all the albums i have listed. doesn't really relate to my problem with artists with songs in one album, as well as song w/o album set, and the latter not showing up.
but that reminds me, why is it when i go to the All section from a particular artist and they do have more than one album (or even no albums), the order of the songs is in the order they are in the albums.. if i wanted the order it is on albums, i would have selected that album for example.. it would be nice if the songs were in alphabetical order when you're NOT browsing by album, making a particular song easier to find (what if you have thirteen albums for example and u aren't sure which album a song is on, now you have to scroll through a seemingly random ordered list to find one song, alphabetical would be SOOOO helpful!)

iCloud does not provide website hosting. You will need to find another website hosting service - there are many to choose from - and upload your site there. How you do this depends on what version of iWeb you have.
In order to upload your existing site in iWeb '09 and above:
Click on the name of the site in the sidebar: the publishing settings pane will open. Set 'Publish to' to 'FTP'. Enter the name of the site and a contact address (if desired).
In the 'FTP Server Settings' section you will need to know the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. Your site will be published in a folder with its name at root level of the server, with an index.html file at root level (which will overwrite any index.html file which may be there already). The 'Directory/Path' field may need to include a path such as '/webspace/' or 'ht_docs/' - this is dependent on your hosting service and they should tell you this. If you want to publish within a folder you can add that to the path.
You can then click the 'Test connection' button so that iWeb can check that it can get access to your server space. You should enter the URL of the site in the 'URL' field so that rss feeds and internal links have the correct address.
To publish using an earlier version of iWeb:
From the File menu choose 'Publish to a folder'. You should create a folder somewhere convenient specifically for this and choose it when publishing to a folder: this folder should not contain anything else.
You now need an FTP program (FTP is the 'protocol' used for uploading) to upload the contents of the folder to your server.Cyberduck is free (donation requested): Transmit is $34 but I think better. You will need the server address (your hosting service can tell you that), and your username and password for that service. You can drag the contents of your folder to your webspace, or create a folder there and drag the contents to that if you prefer.
Some facilities that iWeb provided when hosted on MobileMe will not work on other servers: comments on weblogs and photos, password-protecting your site (some hosts may provide this), searching in the weblog, and a hits counter (again, some hosts can provide code for this). Slideshows in iWeb will work on other hosts than MobileMe (they use different code when FTPing which doesn't depend on scripts hosted on MobileMe as the MobileMe version does); however there is an issue with the 'buttons' which control the slideshow which are images hosted on me.com - these depend on images which used to be hosted on MobileMe. The poster 'Old Toad' on the Apple Forums has provided a workaround, described at http://oldtoadstutorials.net/No.26.html.

Bug in shuffle? or am I doing something wrong?

Hi,
I have a number of 1-minute clips that each have a 3 second text name on them in track v2. I've decided I want to re-order some of the clips, and I'm having more trouble with it than expected.
First I tried to attach the name to the audio and video clips using
Modify->Link, but that does not seem to work for linking two video clips in the timeline together. (I also tried attaching the text to one of the audio tracks, but all that did was unlink the "real" video that went with the audio.)
I decided it's not that hard to just select both video tracks for each move, I'll just shuffle them together. I can't get shuffle to work properly! It worked (sortof) once. I selected both video and audio tracks, dragged them to the new location, hit "Option", watched the pointer change, and released the mouse. The selection moved, but instead of rippling the change down, it left a gap. It did not overwrite the other item in the track as though I had not hit option.
I can work around that I'll just be left with a gap as I move segments forward to where the correct sequence is.
Now comes the problem: I can't even repeat that! It seems no matter what I do, I can't shuffle segments in the timeline, they will overwrite. I've tried moving just the V1 segment, with the intent of moving the text later, no luck; it overwrites! I make sure that the arrow changes when I press the option key, and it does, although sometimes it changes to the right arrow instead of the little bendy one. Either way it overwrites instead of inserting. I've tried cmd-x cmd-v to cut and paste, but again it overwrites.
Is this a bug I've triggered? or am I doing something wrong? I've read through page 200-201, volume 2 of the manual fairly carefully and I think I'm doing it right.
I am using FCP 5.0.4.
Thanks,
--Beth
PS. Even if it did work correctly, I think I'd prefer to shuffle automatically, and overwrite by pressing the option key. Is there any way to set that in a preference?

It always works for me. You cannot shuffle multiple clips. Well, if you do, it will leave a gap. Why? dunno.
I believe if your video and audio are not linked (cmd-L and you can only link audio and video, not multiple video clips) they will be considered multiple clips.
The "bendy" arrow is the one you want and it varies based on where in the track your pointer is. Lower - insert, upper (I think) leaves a gap. Also, I always press the option key after I've started moving, but before it settles, but I don't think that should affect your operation as long as you push option after you've started moving, but before you let go.
As to changing the option behavior, I don't think there's a way...

I am having issues with adjusting the duration of time for each still frame and transition in imovie 11. Each time that I adjust these times, the app does not accept the change, and automatically enters its own time. Am I doing something wrong?

Have you tried turning off automatic transitions ? Choose file - project properties and follow the dialogue box to change duration with a slider. iMovie also doesn't allow a transition to be more than 50% duration of the clip its attached to. In other words if the clip is 4 seconds the transition cannot be more than 2 seconds and remember that relates to the first clip as the following clip (right side) is pulled back to overlay it.
Does this help. Perhaps you already know this ?

It brought me to this white screen that says "Hello" and "Slide for passcode" and i did that... but I tried to enter my normal phone 4 digit password and it just won't let me in?

I have added photos to My Photo Stream on my PC (Windows 7). They appear in the Uploads folder instead. They do not upload to iCloud. Am I doing something wrong?

Unfortunately, photo stream on a PC is iffy at best. Many people have problems getting it to work properly, including myself. A work around would be to use an app like PhotoSync on your PC, which can send photos wirelessly to the camera roll on any of your iOS devices on the same wifi network. Once in the camera roll, you iOS device will be added to your photo stream.

Iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone.

My iphone 4s wont sync when I connect it to the pc( not apple). It is connected as it comes up on itunes but when I try to sync it with apps/ music etc it wont. I am doing something wrong or is it a mistake with the phone. I am still able to download apps and music from itunes on my phone though.
I already restored it but that didn't help.
TIA for any replies.

iPod touches or any iDevices from Apple sync only to one computer. If you sync to a different computer, all your music will be replace with the music from the new computer's iTunes. If the music were purchased from iTunes, you can re-download them again otherwise the music on iPod touch will be deleted. Do you have iTunes backup?

I have backed up my old phone to itunes, however, when I try to restore data to new phone it is saying the password is incorrect but I can get into my itunes account with my password so I am doing something wrong?

The tools are not responding when I try to use them. Some of them work sometimes, but not others and some don't work at all. I'm in a design class online and I need these tools desperately. I have an assignment due Monday and I'm losing the whole weekend because Tech Support is only open M-F!
Any help anyone can give me will be appreciated.
Thanks,
