Slideshow in Finder (or anywhere but Iphoto)

Previous discussions are all archived and don't appear relevant--none of the fixes proposed there work, and my iMac is a year old, so maybe the software was changed. All I want to do is run a photo slideshow in Finder. References to Spotlight and Preview in the archived discussions are no longer workable. Please help! Thanks.

There used to be a method where you could select the image files in the Finder and in the  Contextual menu choose an option to have a slideshow with the in Quicktime. That's no longer available.
Now all we have available is the Quicklook option to view the photos from the Finder.

  • Where is my Theater clip located on my mac, can't seem to find it anywhere but it shows up and plays in my Theatre just fine?

    I have a video clip in Theatre that plays fine, but I can't find the folder and when I try to save it as a file or share it, it brings up a wrong clip.  Where would that file be located if it is showing up in my Theatre library.  I've tried searching for it based on it's file name but my mac can't seem to find it anywhere.

    It comes as part of iLife box set.  Apple retired iDVD for reasons only they know.  You won't find it as a stand-alone product on apple's website.  If you do get the box set, only install iDVD.  The versions on iPhoto, Garage Band are old.

  • I rented  a movie but i cant find it anywhere but its using space

    so with the app "12 days of gifts" (made by apple) i rented a free movie , it downloaded but i cant find it anywhere , i checked videos and nothing, i connected it to my PC and it says "other" is using 4.5 gbs of memory , i dont want to restore my iphone so theres got to be a way to fix this.

    Well if it's not in your videos app, then I suspect you may have restrictions turned on too high, which are hiding this, as it should.

  • Itunes isn't finding my device but iPhoto does

    When I plug in my iphone 5 iphoto opens right away but itunes doesn't find it.  So I can't sync or download anything to the phone.

    Hi.  Thank you for trying to help me. 
    I have the latest version of iTunes.  I run Mountain Lion, not Mavericks.  But it is the latest OSX for Mountain Lion. 
    The other  thing it sometimes does is it seems to find the device but get stuck in loading the device.  It just isn't able to finish loading the devices, whether my phone or ipad.  And then iTunes can't quit by itself.  It needs to be force quit.  It won't even command Q quit - you have to go to the apple and force quit from there.  It just gets stuck.

    Zap the PRAM and Reset the SMC, then try again.

  • Viewing Photos without iPhoto?  Slideshow in Finder?

    How can I view a large number of Photos without importin to iPhoto. Mail has a slideshow option for photo attachements, but I cannot find a similar function in the Finder.
    I have received a CD with 1000+ photos. I'd like to preview them and copy the few I want to keep into a separate folder for importing into iPhoto. I have tired the thumbnail, but even making the thumbnails as large as Finder allows doen't give the detail I am looking for.
    Thanks.

    Weird...I don't seem to have a limit for the # of photos I can have open in preview: I once had 4300 open at once. I can even view all of those in a slideshow. But, I can't use the index sheet feature when all of those are open. I can only open about 600 photos and still be able to use the index sheet. That's probably a limitation due to my screen resolution, though. But, it is really slow (even with my new macbook) when I click on the index sheet because it has to resize all 600 photos at once. You are probably limited due to your computer (I'm not sure which of the three listed ones you use for this, but they are not as fast as my MacBook).

  • I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    I lost my iPhone and I was hoping that my photos were being saved to iCloud, but I can't find them anywhere. I read that iCloud saves them for thirty days, but where?

    You are referring to Photo Stream. Photo Stream syncs the photos taken with your device to all of your device.
    It's not a photo storage service, so photos are deleted 30 days after being added to Photo Stream. You can't access to your Photo Stream photos from http://www.icloud.com, but only from an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch (using the Photos app), Mac (using iPhoto '11 or Aperture 3 with OS X Lion or Mountain Lion) or PC (with iCloud Control Panel).
    In all of these devices, you have the option of copying them to the device, so they will be kept after 30 days

  • Itunes says my purchase was downloaded but can't find it anywhere

    I purchased a song yesterday and according to itunes it successfully downloaded. Itunes credited me and I tried again. Same problem. I searched my computer and the song was not found. I reported it to itunes. I also have had problems with my laptop freezing during upload of a CD and during download. I am using the most recent version of itunes and that is when it all started. Thanks for your help.

    They let me do it once and I had the same problem. I tried uploading a Beatles CD and after a few songs it froze. It seems like the download doesn't complete but they say it has. If so why can't I find it anywhere on my computer?

  • Had to uninstall iWork trial since I bought the pages app and it wouldn't let me print or save.  Now the app store says I have pages installed but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy and am getting frustrated!

    Ooops, guess I didn't need to post everything in the title - sorry!  I bought the pages app - but couldn't save or print so with some online searching found that I had to uninstall the iWork trial which had expired.  I did that - but now I can't figure out how to re-install the pages app!!  The app store says it's installed, but I can't find it anywhere to open and use it.  I'm not very computer savvy - and am a first time Mac user and am getting extremely frustrated!  I e-mailed some help center and they can't seem to help me either.  I would appreciate any help/advice that can fix my problem - thanks in advance!!

    OK Apple has stuffed up the demo version upgrade process so the first thing you need to do is get rid of the demo.
    That includes getting rid of the files in the system.
    The instructions how to do that are here:
    Note That where you see / that is the sequence of folders, each nested inside each other.
    User/Library/Preferences the com.apple.iwork.Keynote.plist
    Means the User (you, the little home icon, whatever you are called on your computer) then the Library folder inside that and then the Preferences folder inside that.
    Lion initially hides the System folders from you so you have to go to the Finder > Menu > hold down the option key and click on GO > Library to see it.

    I rented a movie a few hours ago and never finished it.  I can't view it on my Apple TV nor on my Computer.  When I go to rent it again it says you have already rented this movie, but I can't find it anywhere.  How do I watch the remainder of the rental?

    I had the same issue with my apple tv 3rd generation. I rented Sinister and selected the "rent and watch now" option. Half way through the movie I accidentally pressed the menu button. When I looked for the rented movie on my apple tv I could not find it. Not even above the movie pannel where "purchased" and "top movies" comes up on the main menu. the apple tv suggests to go to settings>downloads but I don't have that option. I did go to settings> itunes store> check rentals but that didnt work either. It took too long to even check. Thank you because this SOLUTION worked great.
    SOLUTION: How to reset apple tv 3 3rd generation to view rented movies:on the apple tv remote: press and hold "menu" to go to the main menu. Select SETTINGS> GENERAL >RESET >RESET ALL SETTINGS. After the apple tv resets, input all your information again and your rented movies should be visible when you cruise above the "movies" section. THANK YOU!!
    Apple needs to solve this issue because honestly it took me 3 hours and a half to watch a movie that only lasted 2 BECAUSE I wast trying to solve the issue, reseting and all. blahh.

  • I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

    I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

    You don't want to do that by copying.
    Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant.  If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
    If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

  • On Pages 09, my word documents I've been saving it to iCloud, to access anywhere, but I would like to keep my docs organized in files on my finder as usual, and saving to iCloud, I lose my local one.How can I fix it and not desorganize my files?

    It's either in local folders, as it seem you had been doing, or in icloud.  If you go into the mac's Pages and view the icloud files, you can drag on onto another to create a folder.  But you can only have folder one level deep, so you can't organize your files/folders like you can on a mac, using nested folder several levels deep.

    I am using I Photo 9.2.3 with OS 10.6.8 When I upgraded to current I photo some of my Iphoto books i put together disappeared.  Cant find them anywhere, including in the time machine...I photo cant open older files...How can a find  the book entitled "Mom"  ?  Does Apple keep ordered books on file?

    Apple keeps books for a short time (used to be 40 days. I've not seen a recent time frame)
    What version did you have?
    Books do nor exist except in the iPhoto database so you can not "find" a book vista TM. You restore a previous library (be sure NOT to overwrite your current library) and switch to it

        Hi droidboy52999,
    Your email won't have the same confirmation number as it was ordered over the phone. You will need the last name used for the order, the location code (this ends in 01) and an order number (five to six digit number). Please keep us posted if you need further assistance with this.
