Slideshow from Aperture on 2nd Monitor

Hi:
I am hoping someone can come up with a solution for me. I have my photographs in the Aperture library running on my iMac 27". I have a second monitor connected to the iMac. I would like to run a continuous slideshow on the second monitor using all the photos in my library, preferably in a randomized manner. Ideally, this would run independently of Aperture, just drawing the photos from the Aperture library. If I have to have Aperture running to do this, that's OK too. Lastly, my ideal would be for the slideshow to be automatically updated as I add new photos into the library.
Any ideas?
Thanks, Pete

Hi Pete,
The easiest thing to do is use one of the built-in (to OS X) screen-savers. "Classic" will do what you want. Of course, there are fancier treatments to chose from.
You set these at "➞System Preferences➞Desktop and Screen Saver➞Screen Saver". Your Mac keeps a separate screen saver setting for each monitor. You can select all the Images in your Aperture Library, or any container in your Library. You can randomize the order.
Does that meet your need?

Export my slideshow from Aperture (with music) to a CD

I'm having problems with exporting my slideshow from Aperture. I'm also new to the mac and aperture, so this could be part of the learning curve!
I would like to export the slideshow (with music) to be played on a non-apple computer via a CD. I see the export options, but they all seem to be specific to other apple products or a TV.
is it even possible to copy the slideshow to a CD?
Thanks!

I see the export options, but they all seem to be specific to other apple products or a TV.
These export options are just guidelines to pick a suitable resolution and codec. If you pick one of them it will render your slideshow and export a Quicktime movie; then you move this movie to a folder and burn this folder to a CD.
If you want a movie that can be viewed on a display of anoter computer I'd go for the option with the highest solution and pick the full HD option: HD 1080p. All other options will result in higher compressed videos with less resolution.

Help with export ?glitch? of my Slideshow from Aperture 3

when I try to export my Slideshow from Aperture 3 it thinks for a few seconds and then says done - help
in Aperture 3 (all updates)
put together a 150 photo slide show
each slide = 3 seconds
2 songs added
Hit "Export..." button
make selections
hit "Export"
three seconds later a dialog box pops up and says "done, your file is in path/path/path" and so on
File is not there - does not look like it wrote any file - processing would take a lot more than 3 seconds
I must be missing a check box or radio button somewhere or doing something wrong
I have tried it several times with many selections re: size and quality but always the same
HELP??

Hello David,
Are you running OS 10.7.2 Lion? Perhaps you have trouble with a video codec? http://aperture.maccreate.com/2011/08/25/aperture-3-will-not-play-videos-if-lion -is-installed-and-3ivx-video-codec-is-installed/
Look in your System Library and User Library if the 3ivxVideoCodec.component
is installed.
Check in /Library/Quicktime (System Library) and ~/Library/Quicktime (User Library)
If you are running OS Lion, then the Libraries are hidden by default.
The User Library can be revealed from the Finder menu by holding down the option (⌥)-key while selecting "GO" till the Library appears in the drop down menu.
The System Library can be revealed from the Finder menu by selecting "GO" -> "Go To Folder" and entering /Library/Quicktime .
Look for 3ivxVideoCodec.component installed and remove it, if it is present.
Also look in both libraries for a duplicate Aperture media browser plug-ins, e.g.
/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/Plug-Ins/iLMBAperture31Plugin.ilmbplugin/
if you are running Lion and still have iLMBAperture31Plugin.ilmbplugin, remove it, if
LMBAperturePlugin.ilmbplugin is present.

How do I get a slideshow from aperture to play on apple tv?

I can't figure out how to send a slideshow created in aperture to apple tv. Any clues would be gratefully appreciated. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello William
You would need to export and send the slideshow to iTunes. Once hat is done, make sure that Home Sharing is turned so you can then find the movie in the Computer app and select your computer and find the video there to be played on your Apple TV

HT3781 Exporting slideshows from aperture to apple tv

Does anyone have any tips in terms of producing as good a quality slideshow on a HD Pioneer Elite TV via apple tv?
I am not able to replicate the resolution of the photos on the tv screen and I presume there is a setting that needs to be changed.
The movies we rent via itunes to apple tv to the Pioneer TV screen display in lovely HD so I presume there is something I am doing wrong.
If anyone has a suggestion I would be most appreciative.
Thank you.

Without knowing what settings you are using how can anyone say what settings need to be changed?
So post back with OS and Aperture versions, how you're making the sideshow, what theme and what settings you are using. Also where in the chain does the sideshow drop quality? In Aperture, on your Mac, only at the TV?
regards

Problem exporting slideshow from Aperture

I have done a slideshow with about 300 photos and movie (hd). If I try to export, after more than 3 hours I obtain only music without video or only the final part of video with the first part of music.
Does exist a limit of photos/movies for slideshow? May you help me?
Thanks.

I received this error, when exporting the slideshow.
The slideshow took some time to export and the display on the Mac was set to sleep within the hour.
The display went to sleep and soon afterwards, I received the error.
If you have your display set to go to sleep then this could be one reason why you are receiving this error.
If not then I'm stumped for another answer.

Windows 10 shows the 2nd monitor has 1920x1080 but actually it is 50% less around 1080x840

The resolution of the 2nd monitor, a Vizio VF551XVT 55-inch 1920x1080 HDTV connected through HDMI cable, shows 1920x1080 (Recommended) on the Windows 10’s Display Screen Resolution setting utility but the true resolution of the 2nd monitor is less than 50%; around 1080x840. All applications on the 2nd monitor displayed their header & boarder frames twice wider on screen, which waste/occupy lots of the 2nd monitor’s display area. Please advise how to correct this critical lower than the set/expected resolution problem of th 2nd monitor. Thanks. The 1st/primary monitor in this case is a mobile PC Display (1920x1080), Lenovo Z710 Intel i7 4710MQ notebook with NVIDIA 840M GPU. Previously running under the Windows 8.1 OS with the same configuration, the 2nd monitor resolution was also displayed incorrectly but just initially right after the Windows 8.1 reboot, i.e. 2nd monitor shows 1920x1080 resolution but actually the 2nd monitor is about the same as Windows 10, the actual resolution is much/50% fewer than 1920x1080. However, the resolution of the 2nd monitor (HDTV) under Windows 8.1 can be corrected (worked around) by switching the main display from 1st to 2nd monitor, then switching main display back from 2nd to 1st, but such Win 8.1 work around doesn't work for Windows 10 OS . Also, please advise whether Lenovo, MS Windows or NVIDIA is responsible for the displays re-position issue. The re-position issue is, when a TV, PC, shared 2nd monitor is disconnected to watching TV, etc., Windows OS currently moves all the display positions, both active and minimized displays, from 2nd monitor to 1st/main monitor, but ideally would be just moving/re-position the active displays to the main/1st monitor and maintain/leave those minimized display positions intact, so when 2nd monitor reconnects back (done watching TV), user doesn’t need to re-align all the displays back to 2nd monitor again. Thanks for helps.

If you won't lose anything and if it is not a big hassle, I would re-install.
Mainly because Win 10 TP is, after all, a beta OS. Too many possibilities of bugs and glitches. It is better off to reinstall.
The latest build 9879 has a ISO download link. Use the ISO and burn it to a bootable DVd. Then use the DVD to do a clean reinstall.

What cable do I need to connect a 2nd Monitor from the thunderbolt port?

Hi I have got one of the brand new iMac's with thunderbolt ports - what cable do I need to connect my Imac to a 2nd display either VGA or DVI - also is there a budget version about as well as I am sure its going to cost a lot from the apple store

Thanks I understand that I need another cable and have that from when I connected my old PC to the 2nd monitor.
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MB570Z/A?mco=MTY3ODQ5OTY - is this the one I need if going to DVI
I just dont want to waste more money on a cable that says its for an imac to 2nd screen and find it doesnt fit
For info my iMAC is the latest version (27" with the 2 thunderbolt connections and 1 firewire)
Thanks

Sorting order of pictures from Aperture in an iPod slideshow

I've recently got a video iPod and have transferred all my photos to it from Aperture. I found that it was necessary to create an album for every project in my Aperture library in order for the projects to show up on the iPod.
Having got all my projects (as albums) listed on the iPod, I want to be able to view them as slideshows. However, there's been a 'scattering effect' in the sorting of all the pictures in each album: overall, they're broadly in the correct order, but many pictures have been scattered out of the order they're supposed to be in.
For example, in one particular album, which is of a two-day shoot, the pictures are broadly chronological on the iPod but many pictures are out of sequence. Sometimes they're displaced just a few positions from where they should be. Sometimes they're on completely the wrong day (e.g. a handful of day 1 shots are intermingled with the day 2 pictures). It's easy to see that the ordering is wrong by looking at the 5x5 album preview on the iPod, and of course the slideshow reflects that order.
My photos are all dated correctly (in terms of Mac datestamp and EXIF image data), and they're named sequentially (in the form "### image name.jpg", where ### is a three-digit number starting from 001). In Aperture, the pictures are set to be ordered by filename, and they do appear in the right order there, but once they've made it across to the iPod they're out of sequence. I can't see any reason for the new iPod ordering: it seems entirely arbitrary, yet it's the same after every synch, and it doesn't correspond to any setting I can make in Aperture as far as I can see.
My iPod's date setting is correct and the 'shuffle slideshow' option is turned off. (Though I don't think that either fact is relevant - especially not 'shuffle', as the pictures are clearly in the wrong order in the album previews and the slideshow just reflects that ordering.)
I want and need my pictures to be in their correct numerical/chronological sequence. If they're in the wrong order, the slideshow facility is completely useless. I've seen similar questions asked by other users on this forum, but none has yet received a satisfactory answer.
Someone, please put me out of my misery and tell me how to make this work as it should!

Thanks a lot for the answer. But what an absolute pain in the nether regions! The situation as it stands is totally unacceptable, and I really didn't want to have to mess about with iPhoto any more. I bought Aperture to replace iPhoto, not to act as a back-end to it.
I sincerely hope that Apple will address this issue, and soon. The combination of Aperture and iPod is frankly not fit for purpose. And when you consider that the 'free' software equivalent (iPhoto plus iPod) is just fine, you start to feel a little ripped off.

2560 x 1600 is gone from my display settings (2nd monitor)

I've been running my 15" retina macbook pro for more than a year now with 27" DELL monitor and it has alway been using 2560x1600 resolution display.
In the past year i've had no issues with mirroring my screen to big screen TV using Apple TV, however today something weird happened.
As usual i mirrored my screen using Apple TV to watch some videos and i had to change some of the display settings to get the best view on my TV.
Afterwards i switched off the mirroring feature and now my 2nd monitor (DELL 27") is displaying 1920x1080 only. I looked at all my options on my display settings (using ATL+click ) and 2560x1600 is gone missing from the list. Im frustrated and couldn't find an answer to this problem, please advice.
Couple things i tried;
- restart & shutdown
- reset NVRAM & PRAM settings
- changed mini display cable with another
- reset monitor settings
Weird find:
I tried to mirrored my macbook pro to apple TV again to see the display settings. Guess what, the option for 2560x1600 is now back on the list and working (visually) just fine. as soon as i turned off the airplay display my 2nd monitor turns back to 1920x1080.
Note: the display on my retina macbook pro is working just fine, no problem at all. this is only showing on my 27" DELL U2713HM.

Hello! Just want to ask about mirroring: when you MIRROR the Retina MBP 15" to your Dell Monitor (2560x1600) : do both the MBP and Dell Monitor look sharp and crisp?
I'm asking because I'm also considering a monitor that's at 2560x1600.
Thanks so much!

Displays - gather windows from 2nd monitor? OR - turn off detected display?

I use my Sony HDTV (960XBR) via HDMI as a 2nd monitor sometimes (also use a 17" LCD sometimes). When not using the Sony for the Mac (like actually watching TV!), the Mac still detects it as a display and allows any program windows I'd placed there to remain on that display, even though it's not actually displaying the Mac signal.
Question: is there any way to "gather" all program windows onto the primary display? Or "turn off" a detected display from the Mac?
Thanks!

Most applications support the following: under the Window menu, you'll see a "Bring All to Front" command. If you hold down the Option key, that changes to "Arrange in Front". Choose that to have all windows arranged in front. That should probably force all windows to the main screen.
Hope this helps.....

IDVD slideshow pics from Aperture

I want to create a slideshow, no music using full screen pics from Aperture. I want it to loop over and over. How can I set up the slideshow not using an Apple theme? Also how can I create a slide of a logo that is not a photo?
Thanks,Phil.

Hi Phil,
The themes in iDVD are for the menu, and will disappear once the user starts the slideshow. You can drag a slideshow to the Autoplay position (use the Map/Outline view to see this) so the slideshow automatically starts when the DVD is inserted. And there is an option to loop the slideshow video.
You can use third party software to create the slideshow, but iPhoto and iMovie both will work fine to create the video version of your slideshow (you'll need to set timing, transitions, etc.). iPhoto can Share/Export a slideshow to Quicktime video. You can drag and drop this video into the Autoplay position. iDVD can also create slideshows, but I prefer the other two options.
None of this software distinguishes between a photo jpeg and a logo in jpeg format. Like your photos, you'll want to get the orientation correct (traditional TV is a 4:3 ratio, and widescreen is 16:9) or you'll have black bars framing your photos.
Resolution of your logo or photo doesn't matter (they are being displayed on a TV at 72dpi), but the size of the image can be a factor. Surprisingly, huge images may actually look worse on a TV than smaller images (to a point). Images from a DVD on a full screen, conventional TV are approx 640x480 pixels; larger images are scaled down and if you scale them down in Aperture, the results can be better than if they're scaled during the conversion to video. There's lots of forum discussion on getting the best quality slideshows, so search and get other views and techniques.
