Slideshow Music and iTunes on Mac?

How do I get a Playlist that I have in iTunes on my Mac to be selectable in the LR Slideshow Module? I have an iTunes Playlist on my Mac that I want to use as music on a LR Slideshow. How do I do that? I have the latest Lightroom and the Latest OS X on my Mac.

OK - I maaged to work it for myself and it is embarrassingly simple....
When I moved from having iTunes on my PC to having it on my MacBook Pro I decided to keep the ITunes library on a network shared storage rather than on one machine.
What had happened is that the shared storage drive had been disconnected from the network. iTunes on my Mac was still listing all the Music and even calculated how much of my iPAD capacity the tracks that I wanted to synchronise would take. But when I tried to synchronise it couldn't find the tracks, so nothing was copied to the iPAD.
Of course it would have been useful for an error message to pop-up stating that the media couldn't be found, but there you go. With the network storage now connected all is working fine again.

How can I transfer music and iTunes from my mac to my iPhone?

I have a macbook air and need to transfer some of my music and itunes from my mac to my newly updates iphone4. Previously I used to drag what I wanted from my itunes to my phone but now it doesn't work. Any ideas?

First step, of course, is to plug your iPhone into your Macbooks Air. Then, you need to set up syncing how you want it in iTunes (on the MBA). If you want to be able to drag and drop music, select "manually manage music" on the Summary pane in iTunes.

If your iPhone isn't being recognized by iTunes on your Windows machine, you may find the following article helpful:

I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

I'm trying to buy some music and iTunes says there is not enough memory available?

I found the answer for real. I called apple and talked to some dude. All you have to do is clear your payment information, save it and then re-enter it. thats the bug, thats it.
go to the store drop down menu on the itunes toolbar... click view my account... click edit payment information... select 'none' for your credit card...click done... then try and buy your music... if you have a gift card or whatever. if you are just using your credit card or debit card, re-enter your payment information.
it worked for me i hope it works for you.

ITunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music

My itunes library is split between iTunes/iTunes Music and iTunes/iTunes Media/Music, what should I do to combine them? I would like all my iTunes stuff to be in one, organized, location.

Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
If you have upgraded from version 8 (or earlier) to iTunes 9 (or later) at some point, then your media folder (everything inside the red outline) may still be called iTunes Music instead of iTunes Media. The extra Music folder inside the media folder is used if you have allowed iTunes to Upgrade to iTunes Media Organization (iTunes 9) or used File > Library > Organize Library > Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" (iTunes 10). Depending on your choices for Keep iTunes Media folder organized and Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library plus a little bug in which one build changed the name of the file storing the choice of layout it is quite easy for some of your files to be organized according to one layout and some the other.
Somehow it seems you've also managed to get both an iTunes Music and an iTunes Media folder. I'd recommend you make sure the media folder preference is set to iTunes Media before you continue...
Assuming you're happy letting iTunes organize your files the following steps should tidy things up (should it be necessary):
1. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Reorganize files in the folder "<Media Folder>" and click OK. Skip if this option is greyed out (already upgraded) or you prefer the older layout.
2. Select File > Library > Organize Library... > Tick Consolidate files and click OK. This will bring any files currently organised outside the designated media folder into it. NB This will create duplicate copies of any file that needs to be consolidated, and you will need to manually clean up afterwards. If space is at a premium try my scripts Unconsolidated to find out what would need moving and ConsolidatebyMoving to move rather than copy it.
3. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, uncheck Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK.
4. Select Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab, check Keep iTunes Media folder organized and click OK. This triggers iTunes into reorganizing everything according to your preferences.
5. (Optional) Close iTunes, rename the folder iTunes Music as iTunes Media then restart iTunes. Check under Edit > Preferences > Advanced tab that the location has automatically updated. If you can't access the media for any reason just undo the folder rename. (Not relevant in this instance).
6. (Optional - Windows only) If Windows Media Player has ever had access to your files it may have liberally scattered folder artwork files about which iTunes won't tidy up when it reorganizes things, thus leaving behind a heap of folders with artwork and no media. I've written a script for cleaning this mess up called CleanDeadArt.
PS If you really prefer the older layout, but it is already in the new one then edit the file called .iTunes Preferences.plist in your media folder and change the integer from 1 to 0 before doing step 3.

Music and iTunes directories are greyed out on my ipod

My ipod worked fine until I tried to add more songs and I got a error message. Now iTunes does not recognize my ipod. My ipod will show up in My computer but the music and iTunes directories are greyed out. I have tried the 5 Rs and these have not helped. I can not do anything though iTunes because it does not show my ipod. Any suggestions or where I can download new directories for my ipod? Thanks for your help.

My ipod does not show in iTunes. The only song on the playlist is on-the-go. Also, the ipods control directory on the ipod is greyed out. It is not automatically downloading songs.

Slideshow music from itunes into iDVD. PLEASE HELP!!!

I am new to itunes and idvd, however I have had my mac since November.
I am making a slideshow for a bachelorette party and wedding, and really want to be able to customize the music that plays through the slideshow.
I have spent about 4 hours trying to figure this out by internet searches, experimenting, etc., so now I am asking for help here!!!
I want to put a playlist (that is in itunes) with 22 songs into the slideshow in idvd. However, I only want to play the first 30 seconds - 1 minute of the song, and I went through each song and right clicked, went to get info, and changed the end times that way. Did that for each song. When I import the playlist into the project in idvd, it does either 2 things 1) will only play the first song listed on the slideshow (over and over) or 2) will play the ENTIRE set of music, without any of my end time changes made (like 96 minutes worth!!!)
So... my question is, how do I do this? 22 songs, just the intro period of each, to move with the slideshow?
Any help will be GREATLY appreciated, I am about to pull my hair out!!!
Thanks!
Tessa

In order to have more than one piece of music play in a slideshow, you first need to create a playlist containing that music. Then, when you select the music for the slideshow, select _only the playlist title_. Do not select the separate song titles.
I only want to play the first 30 seconds - 1 minute of the song
You need to edit your music using some application other than iTunes. You could use GarageBand for the type of editing you describe. However, music purchased from iTunes could still come with the DRM protection, which has been known to cause problems when used in a project. To avoid any issues, you should take these preliminary steps.
1. Burn the music in question to a CD.
2. Reimport the music as an AIFF file. iTunes>Preferences>Advanced>Importing>Import using: (drop down menu) AIFF encoder
3. This music can now be imported into GarageBand for editing.
After you do your editing, create a playlist of the edited music, and use in your project as described at the beginning of my post.
I hope this helps.

Managing music and iTunes from an external hard drive

I have a large quantity of music that I have downloaded to an external hard drive. I used Windows Media to download the music to the hard drive. What I want to do is keep my music and photos on the hard drive but be able to access the files from my laptop (Mac Book Pro). I don't want to take up the hard disc space on the laptop, so how do I make sure that all future cd's imported go the the hard drive (and not necessarily to the "iTunes" folder), are stored as the individual cd/artist name, and are then easily retrieved by iTunes for burning?
Scott

Niel,
You've got me most of the way there! I redirected the iTunes Music Folder location to the external hard drive, and specified the folder on the hard drive that includes all the previously ripped/downloaded music. Then I did the "consolidate library" command, which was successful in putting the minimal music already in my iTunes library onto the external hard drive. Finally, to get all the music from my external hard drive into the Library, I deselected the "copy files to the iTunes music folder when adding to the library" and then "add to library" the folder that is on the hard drive containing all the music I want to be able to browse and select to put on my iPod. Unfortunately, only some of the music came across. It copied about 20 gigs of the music, of which there is 135 gigs of music to copy...???
All I'm trying to do here is maintain a large volume of music (and eventually photos) on an external hard drive, and be able to use iTunes to access the music for placement on my iPod. What have I missed in my implementation here?
Many thanks for you kind advice and help! Scott

Music from iTunes on MAC not syncing with iPAD2.

I have had an IPAD2 for 18 months and have had no problem synchronising with iTunes until recently.
I'm not if the problem started when I moved from using a PC to a MacBook Pro Retina for iTunes, or when I did the last iOS upgrade on my IPAD.
Here's the issue...
I connect my iPAD to the Mac using the USB cable.
The iPAD is recognised in iTunes and I can select it.
All synchronisation automaticaly works fine (Photos, Apps, Other) except the Music.
I select the Music tab on iTunes and Sync Music is selected.
If I select "Entire music library" or "Selected playlists, artists...", then the blue bar in the Capacity diagram appears to indicate the volume of Music.
I select Apply. The sync process starts.
At the end of the sync process, which does not try to sync the Music, the blue Audio part of the Capacity bar dissapears and I have no Music on my iPAD.
Can anyone help?

How can I restart with itunes again as I seem to have duplicate folders in Music and Itunes?

I seem to have partially duplicate Music folders on my computer one called Music (/Users/barry) which is 86.9 gb and one called Itunes music (/Users/barry/Music/iTunes) which is 60.9 GB.
I also have a folder of 25GB in /Users/barry/Music/iTunes/iTunes Master Library recreated 29jul2014/iTunes
I am totally confused as to whether these are really duplicates or how to solve this but am desperate to free up some space on my hard drive.
Are all these necessary or can I delete any please?
Can I start with Itunes again without endangering my music collection?
I am using 11.1.5 version of Itunes.
Mac OSX 10.6.8
Many thanks for any advice

You'll have to determine which are actually currently used, either by getting Info on a representative sample and seeing to which file each points, or by deleting the old structure files and seeing if iTunes has a fit.
Back up your computer first and try.

Slideshow music from iTunes

I can't see separate tracks in my iTunes (5.0.4) library when selecting background music for an iPhoto slideshow. I have tried the two options suggested in iPhoto Help (on involves recreating the musi9c library), but neither resolve the issue. I can see and select separate albums within the library, but can't see or select specific individual tracks. Any suggestions?
Richard

HI Richard,
Take a look at the links and video clips to see if they might help.
How about these screenshots...
1. Playlist menu
2. Library Menu
3.Move dimple down
4. Click Playlist
Or this screenshot

Music menu for Cinematic Slideshow
Music menu for "on the fly" Slideshow

2 users, but same Music and iTunes Library?

Is this possible?
Currently my wife plugs her iPhone into her user setting and syncs her music and photos as per her iTunes and iPhoto library. I do the same with my iPod Classic in my user account.
Trouble is that historically we have kept all our camera taken photos in my iPhoto Library (so we have everything together), but now she wants to be able to upload snaps taken with her iPhone to our Mac, and be able to download older/camera taken snaps to her iPhone.
On the music side of things my wife has a library made up of ripped CDs that are stored on the Shared User account and have been manually 'added to library'. Adding music in this way is a real bind as I have to rip in my user setting (with the library housed in the Shared User folder) and she then has to route out new additions.
And then there's my recently purchased Apple TV. I can see a way to access 'her' music, but what about photos?
I just want all of our music and photos, regardless of who ripped or uploaded them to be available to both of us - on the Mac, our portable devices and the Apple TV, with our own playlists/albums created in our own accounts.
Am I asking too much? Does 10.5 address this (I'm going to be upgrading in the next couple of weeks)
Thanks

I can share my wife's library in iTunes, and vice versa, but this does not solve the problem
Sharing the library only gives access to the other person's library and playlists for playback purposes (I think). As far as I'm aware it doesn't allow my wife to create her own playlists when sharing my library from within her User Account.
My wife would only plug her iPhone into the Mac when logged in to her User Account as she needs to sync her Contacts and iCal across USB (she doesn't pay silly money for a duff MobileMe account - and they are duff - I've given up in mine). As such she can only sync with what is in 'her' library. And that's the issue - we have to have 2 libraries!
As for iPhoto, again, I'm fairly sure that sharing my library won't mean that she can either upload to it from within her User Account or download from it to put 'shared' photos onto her iPhone.
However, I'll check tonightand post back.

BlackBerry Link won't sync Music and Pictures with Mac

Blackberry Link 1.2.1.18 for Mac won't sync pictures or music with my BlackBerry 10 Device. Contacts and Calendars sync fine but Music and Pictures pretend like they are syncing but then just stops with no error or warning. Im using the latest versions of iTunes and iPhoto... None of my Music is protected and all my Photos are just regular JPG in an iPhoto Library. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
BB Link 1.2.1.18
Mac OS 10.9.4
BB OS 10.2.1.2977

No luck. I tried with iTunes and iPhoto closed and it says it's syncing... then after some random amount of time iTuens opens for no reason and stays open. iPhoto will also open and then quickly close. I don't have iCloud set in iPhoto. Tonight I tried the whole process with my WiFi turned off on my laptop, which is my only Internet connection. It moved along for a little bit, and then just stops. ALL my music files are standard MP3, so I have no clue why it doesn't work. Im trying to copy everything use USB Storage mode now, just so I can have stuff on my phone. Surely BlackBerry can fix this? I've seen other people also having lots of issues with BlackBerry Link.
