Slide show only plays Theme Music

Using iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks 10.9.4
I made a new slide show and after selecting it and clicking on Music, I have clicked the check box for Play Music during Slideshow.
Theme music plays perfectly. I can see my iTunes library and select music, but when I select my own music and hit Choose, it either (1) stays on themed music or (2) is silent. In fact once it is silent, I have to change the Theme in order to get even the Themed music to play.
I would REALLY appreciate some help with this. It is very frustrating!
Dave

Try choosing the "Custom Playlist' option and drag the audio track into it. See if that will link that audio track to the slideshow.
Is this a slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?

When you say that the orientation lock doesn't work, we have no way of knowing if that means that the screen is locked in one position only, or that it will not lock in one position only. So try something g very basi and reboot your iPad.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
In the camera app, you have to swipe up and down on the screen to move between photo, video and the square photo mode options, so are you even in the correct mode to take videos?

The way that you would transfer photos from iPhoto to the iPad would be to sync with iTunes. Connect the iPad to your Mac with the cable and launch iTunes. Select your iPad under the devices heading on the left. Then click on the Photos tab in the iTunes window on the right. You can select the folder from which you want to sync your photos in the drop down menu bar - so select iPhoto there. Then select the album or events that you want to sync from the windows below. After you have made your selections, click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes.
I am not sure how the iPad will handle a slide show in the photos app that was created on your Mac. You can create basic slide shows on the iPad using the different albums, events or faces that you have in the Photo app, but as for the captioning that you have already set up, I don't know how that will work in the app when you sync the slide show.

Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

Hi
I want play a slide show with my pictures and play music through the ipod as well. I have a dock connecter which connects through S video and sound through red and white connector leads. When the ipod is not in the dock i can do both but i can only do one or the other when plugged in.
It's the new 80g ipod which I have, is there somthing that I am doing wrong, is it possible to do both any help would be great
thanks

Hi
I have an Ipod80G as well.
But I find it impossible to see a slideshow on my tv-set .
Can you tell me the connections and settings to obtain a slide-show with music on my tv-set. I don't have a dockingstation with SVHS or audio connection.
What type of cables do I need to see my slide-show with music like you said you could obtain without a docking mount on your own tv-set?

I've just enabled match and now my new purchases do not show up on my i tunes account. i can only play them buy going in to purchased playlist.

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

Burning slide show using scrapbook theme to DVD for viewing on TV using DVD

Made a slideshow using scrapbook theme with songs in iPhoto '09. Clicked on burn disk, after disk was complete tried to play in DVD player on a TV and it won't work.
Can anyone tell me how I can keep the scrapbook theme and burn it to a DVD for viewing on TV using a normal DVD player? We want to be able to just put in DVD player and it auto start into the slide show if possible (if not then a button to start slide show). I know you can go into iDVD and burn a slide show with music but it looses the scrapbook theme of random photo's and cluster photo's that we like when viewed in iPhoto.

I also need to solve this problem. I plan to try to export the slideshow to a Quicktime (.mov) and a MPEG4. I think MPEG4 may be recognized by most DVD players. The Quicktime (.mov) should be able to work with an iDVD project.

DVD Slide shows only auto-cycle 100 slides; then aborts. What's the fix??

I burned 2800 jpeg Photos from my IMac onto a DVD using iDVD and set it up for auto-play, so that the 2800-frame slide show would autostart running and advance to a new photo every 3 seconds as soon as loaded into the DVD player in our TV room.
On my Panasonic DVD player, however, I can only view the first 100 or so slides automatically before the show aborts and the player defaults back to its home screen as if it had completed the slide show.
Why will my DVD player only show the first 100 of 2800 slides on the DVD before quitting ? Is it a limitation of the DVD player hardware or software or have I misconfigured iDVD ?
If I want to view all 2800 slides on the DVD, I can do so only by holding down the forward and reverse buttons on the player's remote control to jump forward or backward to the next or previous slides. Only then will it display beyond the first 100 or so slides and run to the end. In auto advance mode, it chokes after the first 100 frames and quits on me.
As long as I manually advance to the next frame, I am fine...but the player-DVD combination will only auto-advance the first 100 before the player hardware/software crashes.
Any ideas how to fix ????

Thanks. This is very clumsy to work around but maybe the just released Toast 8 has a workaround that iDvd does not. Trick is I guess to get 28 tracks onto a single DVD - each with 99 (slides) chapters. Is this doable ??
Surely there is a simple way to copy 2800 files - maybe just a simple file copy, onto a blank CD or DVD and have a CD/DVD player`read them and auto advance.
This is very frustrating because these sophisticated software programs are good at doing fancy things with movies but can't produce a simple slide show with more than 99 frames.
Michael,
The basic problem is iDVD treats slides in a
slideshow as chapters and a DVD track is limited to
99 chapters per track. Prior to iDVD 6, slideshows
were limited to 99 slides. iDVD 6 added a 'fix' to
allow several such slideshow tracks to be linked
together. HOWEVER, not all DVD players (as you have
found) want to recognize the linking and will quit
(or drop the audio) after the 99th slide.
Any ideas how to fix ????
There is nothing you can do in iDVD to change this.
There are some DVD players that will play through
all he images - you can take you DVD to a 'big-box'
store with a lot of DVD players on display and see
if you can find a player that will play all the
slides.
OR
You can create your slideshow as a movie in iMove,
although your 2800 slides at 3 seconds per slide
would create a movie that is 140 minutes long, and
this exceeds the 120 minute limit of what can be put
on a single layer DVD with iDVD.

Wedding photos to a slide show to play on a TV?

I'm having lots of problems creating a DVD to allow members of my family who do not own a computer to play a 'wedding photos' DVD to their DVD player.
I've created an iPhoto screen show from the many photos and have successfully burned a CD that WILL to play a computer. I've read somewhere that the files need to be renamed to .MP4 format, which I've done, but the DVD+R will not play the files to a TV. Can anyone offer any advice please?

Export the slideshow out of iPhoto as a QT movie file via the Export button in the lower toolbar. Select Size = Medium or Large.
Open iDVD, select a theme and drag the exported QT movie file into the open iDVD window being careful to avoid any drop zones.
Follow this workflow to help assure the best qualty video DVD:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image, launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding is good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
If iDVD was not preinstalled on your Mac you'll have to obtain it by purchasing a copy of the iLife 09 disk from a 3rd party retailier like Amazon.com: ilife 09: Software or eBay.com. Why, because iDVD (and iWeb) was discontinued by Apple over a year ago.
Why iLife 09 instead of 11?
If you have to purchase an iLife disc in order to obtain the iDVD application remember that the iLife 11 disc only provides themes from iDVD 5-7. The Software Update no longer installs the earlier themes when starting from the iLIfe 11 disk nor do any of the iDVD 7 updaters available from the Apple Downloads website contain them.
Currently the only sure fire way to get all themes is to start with the iLife 09 disc:
This shows the iDVD contents in the iLife 09 disc via Pacifist:
You then can upgrade from iDVD 7.0.3 to iDVD 7.1.2 via the updaters at the Apple Downloads webpage.

PSE8-Slide Shows to Play on TV/DVD Player

I watched the tutorial and read the online help.
Two things are mentioned.
I can create a slide show to present on a TV set
When creating the slide show and am ready to create a DVD, Premiere Elements Will Load.
What none of the help says is whether a cable from the PC to the TV AND Premiere Elements are required to play a slide show on a TV set.
Does PSE8 make slide shows for TV or does Premiere, only, make slide shows for TV?
Do I need a cable, or can I play the burned DVD in the TV's DVD Player, as in Blockbuster movies?
A cable is not practical for me.
Thanks.

Thanks Barbara.
I don't have PRE; have only had PSE over the years. Never had a need for video editing, although my wife has the 'original' Minolta Z1 which does video clips.
I am -very- interested in being able to play slide shows on a TV's VCR player as a replacement of showing slides on a projector (which I still have).
While I have you, will PRE's presets/templates work well with a non lcd, non plasma, non flatscreen, non hd, tv. Do I have to make a particular resolution and aspect ratio set of files for non hdtv?
Even when I play a show directly from my camera (Nikon D300) the pictures look terrible, not even worth watching.
And, how would I cope with then being able to show the pictures on other people's flat, lcd, plasma, or hdtv's? Do I have to make separate special burns at full resolution and a different aspect ratio?
Will Adobe PRE tell me how to do these things? I will be upgrading to PSE8 and have to make a decision whether Premiere Elements 8 would be a better upgrade.
Thanks.

Letterboxing a 16:9 slide show to play on 4:3 tv

I've heard it posted a million times on this forum that it is the DVD player and TV that determine how a 16:9 (widescreen) presentation is displayed on a 4:3 television.
I use Encore 2.0 to produce slide shows. I always produce them for a 16:9 format. The slideshows look great on my 16:9 plasma. Yet on any DVD I playe hooked up to a 4:3 television the 16:9 slideshows get streched vertically to fill the screen.
So before you tell me once again how it is the DVD player doing and not the DVD itself explain this to me. In each of these cases (DVD player to a 4:3 television) store bought DVD movies play widescreen presentation with black bars on the top and bottom.
I can nto seem to be able to recreate this using DVD encore. I want my widescreen slideshows to have black bars on the top and bottom when being played on a 4:3 television

> Could be caused by the DVD players setup. If it is set for "Widescreen" instead of "Letterbox" (or "Pan and Scan") it may stretch 16:9 content to fill a 4:3 TV's height.
That's it indeed.
Additionally, the player can be telling the TV to do one thing, yet the TV may well just ignore it altogether.
Setting an aspect ratio correctly in authoring is no guarantee at all that it will actually get displayed correctly on a TV.
You would be appalled how many people just never even bother setting things up right in the first place after getting the initial installation from the delivery shop.
@ Joe Ghione.
Is the DVD player you are hooking up to the 4:3 TV set as it's default output to WIDE or 4:3 (Letterbox or Pan & Scan?) or automatic?
I can categorically assure you that setting a ratio is one thing, and having it properly honoured is quite another.
FWIW, I have many pressed discs that simply refuse to set the correct Aspect Ratio at all via HDMI. It must be set manually each time.
Via component (or SCART) is often better for this.
I've created multi-Aspect ratio discs in Encore that work just perfectly on some player/TV combinations, yet need the AR setting manually on others.

Why is my iphone only playing purchased music after updating to ios8

My iphone 5c is only playing songs that I have bought on iTunes. My phone is skipping over any other songs and having them appear as though they are currently playing. It started doing this a week after I updated my phone to ios8.

Can't say I blame it ...
Seriously, check your settings and volume. I just tried it on my 4S and it works fine.
Go into Settings, Maps and check that the volume is on. Also check to make sure you have not muted the phone somehow.

ITunes will only play select music...

I have recently done a complete switch from PC to Mac and as such I transferred all of my music from my PC to my Mac. When I load the music into iTunes it will only recognize some music and won't even import the other stuff. The 'other' stuff played in iTunes on my PC and just recently noticed that certain albums were completely gone and when an attempt to re-import itunes would do nothing with it.
hope someone can help,
thanks.

Assuming this is for iPhoto on your Mac:
Launch iTunes use the File -> Library -> Organize Library -> Reorganize Library menu option. Then quit and relaunch iPhoto.

Is there a way to filter content search in iTunes to show only those apps/music etc that are compatible with a particular hardware/software/firmware configuration.

It is annoying to download an app that subsequently states it is only for iPhone 4 or OS x.x.x
Is there some way of filtering content or content search to show only those items that are compatible with whatever hardware/firmware I happen to be using?
Interestingly in the Apple drop down list of Products the earliest iPhone shown is 3G !! Have they disowned all models they sold before that variant? I have an iPhone 2G. Works well, does what it says on the tin, have no reason/need to throw away and buy another. Yet they manage to provide firmware updates (now 3.1.3) for a product that is not listed!!!

And some more info I just found...
I found a web article that confirms that it is possible to clean ("sanitize" or "scrub") the files manually on Mac. It even provides a link that (I am assuming) details how to do it.
Unfortunately, the link doesn't work for me. Does the link work for anybody else?
Here's the article: http://lawyerist.com/remove-metadata-with-batch-software/
