Slideshow controls - missing in 09?

I have used the slideshow feature in past versions of iphoto and been very pleased with the process. Is was easy to create the slide show and you could extensively tweak things like indiidual time for each slide, transitions and you could even control the Ken Burns effect. I could get it exactly the way I wanted and then export it to iDVD for burning. In iphoto 09 there appears to be just one dialogue box for slide show settings and it doesn't seem to have any allowance for individual tweaks. Am I missing something? If I have lost the ability to control individual transaction and effects within the slide show, I'll have to use iMOvie or go back to iphoto 08.

Yes you are missing something:
Click on the '+' button lower left and select Slideshow. This will bring the Slideshow Toolbar to the fore and you can make all the decisions and choices you prefer for the show.

Flash gallery - filename on thumbnail and get rid of sequence display next to slideshow controls

Hello. Thanks in advance for you help. I'm wondering two things as I'm trying to tweak my use of flash web galleries for client image selection.
First, is there any way to get the filename to display on the thumbnails in the gallery? Used to have this with html galleries from bridge/pshop. Clients are complaining about this - especially when picking images for compositing, and it makes it difficult if not impossible to compare images within a big gallery.
Next, I've had one client (IQ challenged), that told me to process file number 10. Instead of filename # ABC001_010, what they were referring to was the 10/250 that's next to the slideshow controls. Stupid, but true. Anyway, I have no use for the sequence number so I'm wondering if there's a way to get rid of it on the gallery without having to do a custom edit to the code or whatever.
Thank you!

John,
I totally agree with you: also my clients start to complain that they miss the filenames on the thumbnails (I use an edited version of the Lightroom HTML Template). Seems that clients don't take (have) the time nowadays to go through the full versions...
As a convinced convert from Iview Media Pro this is about the only thing I really miss. Would be very nice if someone (G. Jardine?) would throw in some code here!
Thanks in advance!

Hide slideshow controls

In iPhoto 09 (8.1.2), I want to run slideshows of photos and videos. Using the space bar to stop/start a slideshow always brings up a slideshow control button. I want to suppress that display, which looks unprofessional. Using the navigation keys (left, right, up, down) does not allow for fades or work properly with videos. How can I suppress the control button display when I use the space bar?

You can't.

JQuery slideshow control button issue

Hi! I am new to jQuery and am trying to adapt a slideshow to fit my layout in Dreamweaver. I have one end of the slideshow working fine, as you can scroll left with no issue. However, on the right control, the button does not seem to be clickable.
The link to the page is here.

This is a stacking-order problem caused by the button being layered under your #slidesContainer div. That's why it's not accessible.

Slideshow controls are shown as question marks

I know since the end of MobileMe the pop up slideshow doesn't work properly. I'm trying to fix the missing controls. When you click play slideshow, the slideshow pops up, but at the bottom, the play/pause, etc. controls are question marks. I've tried to follow Old Toad's tutorial listed here:
http://www.oldtoadstutorials.net/No.iW14.html
but I am still having problems.
I have mulptile sites in iweb that have already been published with slideshows. So, I need to fix all of them at this point. I've changed the item that he refers to in the tutorial and uploaded it to the website's server. I've tried putting in different folders; the scripts folder, the slideshow_files folder, just in the root folder, but it is not working. What am I missing? Any thoughts about what I need to try next. Thanks for your help!

If you are changing the script in the iWeb package you will need to republish every slideshow from iWeb for the updates to appear in the published version.
You could modify the local or remote versions of the file outside of iWeb but you would need to do this every time you publish changes to your site. See [2]...

When trying to display census pages I get error ActiveX controls missing

What are ActiveX controls and how can I install them? When trying to display certain images such as a census page I get the message that certain ActiveX controls are missing. I am using Windows XP and the current version of Firefox.

ActiveX is an Internet Explorer plugin system and will not work in Firefox or many other browsers. If the site requires ActiveX you will need to use Internet Explorer to access the site.

Windows 7 "Dim the display" and brightness controls missing

Is this another driver problem? I would think the Nvidia drivers would support this new feature in Windows 7.
http://www.technospot.net/blogs/windows-7-automatically-dim-display-screen/

I suspect you need another driver (not the video card driver) since these function require control of the backlight. It seems Apple does not provide a standard driver that can be used by Windows as the display brightness can only be controlled through Apple's bootcamp drivers in the bootcamp control panel or using the keyboard shortcuts.
Even in Vista, if you go to the Windows mobility centre (Win+X)there should be a panel for display brightness. This panel is missing in bootcamp, suggesting the necessary drivers are missing. This is a shame, but I wouldn't hold my breath for Apple to ever provide these. Then again, I didn't think Apple would ever fix the touchpad drivers for Windows, but they seem to have finally done so in the Bootcamp 3.0 beta drivers, so maybe someday...
Windows 7 also supports automatic brightness changes based on an ambient light sensor, but again, no appropriate driver supplied by Apple...

Window Controls Missing?

Okay, back in my previous OSX, if I opened a folder I got a window with various control icons across the top. Among them, on the far right, was an oblong button that toggled this control bar visible or invisible. In Lion, this toggle button has disappeared. So, okay, I can't hide the search box or View options, that's cool....
EXCEPT that when I open certain folders, usually it seems, from my 3rd-Party Dragthing dock application, I get windows with this status / control area hidden! I don't see any way to get the window to display these View controls and search box. I think I get this problem in other situations too.
What am I missing here? Why in the world allow these neutered windows that can do nothing but open and close?

Oh for crying out loud.
Was the little button on the window so unspeakably *hideous* that they had to remove it and turn this basic feature in to a menu item? Really? Okay, so there's a triple-keystroke combination for it - that's great.
This is exactly the kind of gratuitous change that serves no use but to cause a lot of users a series of fairly low-level nuisances that make them resentful for having had to upgrade. Classic Microsoft engineering. Or eBay "problem solving" -- as in, this isn't a problem, but if we change it we can call it an upgrade. Two versions later they'll reintroduce the toggle button and boast about the new "more intuitive" interface.
But thanks for the pointer.

Audio level control missing

I have a Philips portable DVD player. It has a built-in audio amplifier, speakers, headphone and line out. But the volume control on its amplifier does not work with DVDs authored in iDVD. It does work with other DVDs that I own (like movies). I can pre-set the volume in iDVD for, say, a slide show. But when I burn the DVD and play, the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on the Philips unit do nothing. With other DVDs, when I push those buttons, there is a pop-up showing the volume level. But with DVDs authored in iDVD, it plays only at the pre-set level. I can mute it, but I cannot control audio level. Did I miss something in iDVD?

OK. The situation is a bit better than I thought. Any DVD burned with iDVD disables only the volume control on the REMOTE CONTROL of the Philips PET 1030/37. On the unit itself (as opposed to its hand-held remote) THE VOLUME CONTROL STILL WORKS. So, just to be clear, there still is something weird about DVDs made with iDVD, because the volume control on the hand-held remote does NOT work for them. On store-bought movie DVDs (not burned with iDVD), the hand-held remote DOES work (as well as the on-unit volume control). This issue starts to feel to me like a non-configurable option that they have pre-set in iDVD. Maybe someone familiar with the full DVD authoring software (DVD Studio Pro 4) could tell us what's going on. Of course that software is available ONLY as a component of Final Cut Studio 2. It is not available stand-alone.

Xml slideshow controls, need help!

Hello,
I am new to actionscript and am trying to make a slideshow
with next and previous controls. The info for the slideshow is
coming via xml. I have it up and running but there are two issues.
When clicking on the next or previous buttons the new image will
load but the first image will be present under the new image. So if
you are navigating from image 2 to 3, while image 3 loads, image 1
is visible. The next problem I am having is I would like for the
slideshow to repeat itself once it gets to the end.

Sorry 2 more things.
In the above link to get to the slideshow, click america,
then new england.
And it appears that on the initial load the first image loads
17 times, which is the total number of images in the slideshow.
Thanks again

Help! Magic iDVD slideshow controls instantly vanish

I’m working with Magic iDVD & trying to figure out how one actually controls the:
1. slideshow volume
2. slideshow duration's
3. and also how one would adjust the transition type (page flip, droplet, etc.)
I actually see how to do this BUT the adjustment preview windows simply doesn’t stay visible long enough to address any actual adjustment.
In fact the controls are only visible for a split second only immediately after I hit the preview button and nothing on the menu bar seems to allow for these controls to become visible until one finishes making all the necessary adjustment. However I was able to see (or rather take a quick peek) at these controls in the preview window after hitting the preview button on the bottom left corner of the window.... but like I said only for a split second.
These controls vanish so quickly that I can’t even capture a quick screen shot of them on the computer however I was able to take a snapshot with my digital camera. Here are the controls that are visible but only for a split second apparently. My question is ... How do I make these controls stay visible until I finish addressing all the necessary adjustments without it vanishing first?

You are doing something wrong. I just tried 'Magic iDVD' and everything worked fine.
You must, however, recognize that the photo 'wells' in the Magic iDVD set up page are NOT for individual images! Each 'well' is a slideshow. Drag all the images for one slideshow into the same 'well'. Then drag the audio for that slideshow into the same 'well'.
After you have entered all the elements you want to use, hit the 'Create Project' button at the lower right. This will create the actual iDVD 6 project you can edit further (as you would with a 'normal' iDVD project).
BTW, I don't understand your screen shot. You have the map view slideshow edit screen and the Preview Control 'Remote' on the same screenshot. You can't edit the slideshow in the Preview mode. Go into the map view, select the slideshow you want to edit and double-click on it to open it in the edit mode.

Are there Slideshow controls?

The slideshow feature on Apple TV of my pics runs them out of date order and rotates some of them on their sides. Can I control this?

i usually don't download and correct files unless i'm hired.
addendum: thank you for offering to pay me. downloading and correcting someone's source files can involve significant time. but sometimes there's just not enough work required for me to charge. this is one of those times.
change the code to the following and your file should work as expected. there's no charge.
var mcA:Array = [Scene1_mc,Scene2_mc,Scene3_mc];
var index:uint = 0;
mcA[index].nextFrame();
this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,f);
function f(e:Event):void{
    mcA[index].nextFrame()
    if (mcA[index].currentFrame == mcA[index].totalFrames){
        mcA[index].gotoAndStop(1);
        index=(index+1)%mcA.length;
        mcA[index].nextFrame();

Finder slideshow controls not centered anymore

Hi,
As you all know it's possible to start a slideshow by selecting a number of photos in the finder, contorl-click and select "slideshow" from the menu.
While the slide show is playing you can get a set of controls to appear by moving the mouse.
These controls used to appear in the middle of the screen, but after installing 10.4.8 (I believe it was then) the controls appear more to the right of the screen.
This happens on the 18" Compaq LCD-screen I have attached to my PPC Mini, while on the screen of my MacBook the controls still appear in the centre of the screen.
I have not tried the MacBook with an external screen.
I installed the combo update (PPC and Intel respectively) on each machine.
Have anyone of you seen this behaviour?
I am thinking maybe it would fix itself if I throw away some .plist file on the Mini, but I am not sure which one (or which ones) might affect this....
Regards,
J-son

I tried turning off parental controls for the kid's account, and the behavior is the same: clicking on the game in the applications folder causes the app icon to bounce once and disappear. Other recently installed games (Riven X, Myst III) work as before. Game works fine in my account and guest.

Media control missing after updated iso 7.1.1

Hi I updated ISO 7.1.1 for my son, that he is using the iPhone 4
After the software updated, the media control was missing. I already searched the internet and did everything that was stated there but the volume and media controls are still missing. Only the ring tone is working.

Hi Gyonghock,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds to me that you may be referring to the Control Center. The controls did change from iOS 6 to iOS 7. The Control Center is now accessed by swiping up from the bottom of the screen. You can use the following article for reference.
