Slideshow music from iPhoto

I just got a 60G iPod Photo and it's great but when I select Slideshow Settings>Music>From iPhoto I get silence from the iPod when I play a slideshow. It works fine if I select anything other than "From iPhoto". I have made sure the song is on the computer and the iPod and it is selected in iPhoto. I am running 10.3.9, iPhoto 5.0.2 and iTunes 4.7.1.
Any ideas?
Thanks

David- I feel your pain, but the function seems to be nothing but nonsense:
The only way to add music to pictures in iPhoto is by creating slideshows (I have not found a way to add music to albums - have you?).
The only thing you can synch to iPod is albums, not slideshows.
Go figure.
The menu item "Music - from iPhoto" just does not make sense.

No music on slideshow imported from iPhoto

Hi,
I posted the following question in the iPod discussion area and no one responded, so figure I'd give it a try here. I was able to import a slideshow from iPhoto 5.0.4 to a 20GB iPod Color. The slideshow works just fine, but am not getting the music I heard when watching the slideshow on my Mac. BTW, I did go under Settings on the iPod and select music->From iPhoto. Not sure if it makes a difference, but the music on my slideshow is the iPhoto default (Bach "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire"). Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Ron

Hi,
Try turning the music off in the slideshow (Select: Music icon in bottom right of window, unselect play music during slideshow).
Export the slideshow again (sorry)
Add your play list for the slide show to your ipod.
Add new slide show to your ipod
On ipod go to: Photos:Slideshow settings: Music: select your playlist from the list.
The music should play when you statr your slideshow.
Hope this helps!

How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

How can you take a video including music from IPhoto and put it onto a disk?

You need burn software which will author/encode the movie so it can be viewed using any DVD player - there is iDVD (still available as part of the retail 09 or 11 iLife disks at online resellers including ebay and Amazon) or Roxio Toast ($$) or Burn (free, but very basic).

Problems exporting slideshow with music from iPhoto 5 to iDVD

I made a slideshow on iPhoto, and selected one Playlist with 4 tracks as backgroundmusic. When I ¨play¨the slideshow in ¨iPhoto¨ I can listen the music ( all 4 tracks), but when I ¨export¨ the slideshow or ¨send to iDVD¨, the final Quicktime movie contains all the fotos but only the first track of the Playlist.
I use Quicktime 7.1.3, iPhoto 5.0.4 and iTunes 7.0.2
Can somebody help me to find a solution...:)...? thanks...

this was a known problem with iPhoto 5. do you have the latest update to iPhoto 5?
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
With iPhoto 5 this seems to be a know problem/bug. There have been some work-arounds. Don't know if the problem is with iPhoto, Quicktime or a combo of both.
-From Bob Worthington: re-ripping the cuts I wanted as background music for the DVD as a single cut in iTunes. I then made a playlist containing the one extended cut of music.
-Old Toad: share to Quicktime from iPhoto and then import the resulting movie into iMovie you can extract and delete the audio from the video and add the two songs to the video and save.
Quicktime Pro-open the movie and bring up the Movie Properties menu window. In the top window select the audio track and delete it.
If you want more than one song you'll have to join them together with iMovie or some other application. Then open that joined file with QT Player. Then do a select all and copy. Now go to the QT window of the movie and select the Edit->Add to Movie menu option. You don't want to scale it because it will change the play speed of the audio unless it's time is exactly the same as the movie.
You could go the other way, open the movie, select all and copy, and then past with scaling to the audio. That will change the speed of the movie and transitions to fit the audio track. In this case the resulting video file will have the name of the audio track file that you started with.
You may have to play with it a bit to get exactly what you want. Be sure to work with copies of all the media files for the project.
-Peter Burtwistle: I opened the Qt movie that iPhoto makes when you export to iDVD and removed the sound track.
Then made a new soundtrack by opening all three songs in QT, then cutting and pasting them together.
Finally use QT Pro's 'Add to Movie" option to add the soundtrack to the original movie.
This worked well and was fast to do too.
-Joe Lombardo: I ended up having to extend the songs by 20 seconds so I brought them all into GarageBand and made some edits. Then I exported them all to iTunes as a single track and used that for the slideshow
From scotty321 at MacOSXHints.com: If you have Roxio Toast Titanium installed on your machine, you can join unprotected tracks yourself by simulating a disc burn. Simply take these steps:
Go to the Audio tab in Toast.
Drag your audio files from iTunes into Toast.
Reshuffle them in the proper order within Toast.
Go up to File: Save As Disc Image. Save your disc image somewhere on your Desktop.
Choose Utilities: Mount Disc Image. The CD will mount on your desktop, and iTunes will think that you just inserted a CD.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go through the import process, and you've got a joined track! Simply rename the track to whatever you want to call it, and you're good to go.
From Lori...
Burn the playlist in iTunes.
Make sure you have itunes Prefs just open the Cd and not automatically play or import the songs.
Insert the burned CD and iTunes will open.
Within iTunes, select the tracks that you want to join and then use Advanced: Join CD Tracks.
Go to Advanced>convert selection to AAC.
When done, make a new playlist named after the slideshow.
Put the new combined track into the playlist.
In iPhoto, select this playlist for your slideshow.

Burning a slideshow directly from iPhoto

Folks,
I am wondering if it is possible to burn a slideshow to a DVD directly from iPhoto, or if you have to export the slideshow to iDVD and then burn?
Secondly, I tried to export to iDVD last night and when the export was done, I received a message saying that the music I chose could only be played on authorized computers? This does not happen to me when I use iMovie to make a slideshow.
Thanks,
Joe B

Hi,
I have the same problem but I managed to burnd the slide show to a DVD but the sound and the changing of the pictures was not as the one on the iPhoto slide show. If you get an answer to this problem, please copy me into it.
Thanks a lot from Sweden.

No Sound in QuickTime when Slideshow Exported from iPhoto

I'm currently using iPhoto 2.0.1 and QuickTime Player 7.1.3. When I export a slideshow from iPhoto to QuickTime, a '.mov' file is created. When I play it, I can view the slideshow but there's no sound. Does anyone know why?
Here's how I export a slideshow...
1) Create an album
2) Add pictures to the album
3) With the album selected, click 'Slideshow'
4) Check/select 'Music'
5) Select 'iTunes Library'
6) Select a song
7) Click 'Save Settings'
8) With the album selected...
File > Export > QuickTime > check/select 'Add currently selected music to movie' > Export
By the way, the music in my iTunes library has been Imported from CD's I purchased and is in the format .m4a. Also, the music plays when I view the slideshow within iPhoto.
Thanks!

Robin,
you have to find a way to "mend" the 4 songs together in iTunes, which I think can be done when you are importing from a CD. Essentially all 4 songs are one song.
Another way to do this, and that is what I do all the time, I export many slideshows.
This envolve the use of QT pro. And you have to cut an paste.
For simplicity, say you have 240 pics and you want to put 4 songs of 1 minute each. It would be 60 pics per minute (assume that the disolve, does not play a role in time displayed). Assume you put 1 sec per slide.
1-find the ending point of the song on the QTslide show.
2- move the right cursor (small triangles usually sitting below the time bar) to the end of the song
3-Notice which picture the song ended up on.
4- Command+N and Command+V will paste the 1st song along with the 60 or so pics, (depending on display time per slide)
Now go back to iPhoto, and select picture 61 to 130 (instead of 120- because the song could be longer that it take to display 60 or 62 pics.
Select a new song #2, save settings bla bla bla
Then export phots 60-120 with song #2.
1-Open this QT file #2, and move the right "triangle" to the far right.
2-Command +C (copy)
Go back to the "previously pasted slideshow #1" and position the cursor at the end of the show- to the far right
3-Command+V paste, the 2nd portion of the slide show #2 at the end of Slide #1.
Repeat the process untill you are done.
When done, save the file as a "self contained" file. That is very important.
Sure enough you end up with a disolve to black, and fade in between each song, but that is the compromise, and it is not too bad to watch after all.
It may seem complicated, but once you do it once or twice, you will do it with your eyes closed!
I think there is also another way to do this, which would envolve exporting all the pics to QT in one shot, then cut and pasting the separate songs in the QT file using a similar method I described above. I tried in the past but was not successfull. I'm not too well verse with the Editing in QT.

Music From iPhoto

How does the "From iPhoto" music setting in the photo settings work? If you add an album, which has no music set for it, how does the iPod know which song to play for the photos? I can't get that setting to work, and I can't find a way to put the iPhoto slideshows on the iPod, only the albums. Can anyone help me make the music from the slideshows on iPhoto work with the albums on my iPod?

I figured it out myself

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?

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

Help with slideshow & labeling from iPhoto and Apperture on iMac

I have an extremely long slideshow of photos on iphoto which is causing me not to be able to download it to a DVD. I was told that if I put it in Apperture, I would be able to make the DVD from there. Can someone please help me with this project? I also need to know how to insert names over the photos, or at the bottom of each one. I did this for a family reunion and promised everyone a DVD and now it's 6 months later and I still don't have them ready. Thanks in advance for your time and assistance. D

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate\
You don't need Aperture for this.

Exporting Music from iPhoto and iTunes to DVD copy

Hello,
I am having trouble when exporting a slide show from iPhoto with the background music not playing. It was music purchased from iTunes. I played it before adding it and have not burned a copy to disk before this. What is wrong? Any help is appreciated.
thanks,

Is there a way to copy the music files themselves from my iPod or iTunes to a backup hard drive or USB flash device? I don't mean just the playlists, but the actual MP3 files that are listed on my playlists.

Slideshow imports from iPhoto - missing/distorted images.

When I try and create a slide show using images from iPhoto some images are missing and others badly distorted, I have tried different settings but what I want is manual with dissolve. This used to work with iLife '06 and Tiger (10.4.10).
Any ideas? I really need for this to work.

Any of these help?

Can I use theme music from iPhoto '09 slideshows in iMovie '09?

The Music and Sound Effects browser in iMovie'09 allows me to access sound effects files from iLife and iMovie, as well as music and podcasts from GarageBand and iTunes, but not any of the "Theme Music" available for use with iPhoto slideshows (such as "Linus and Lucy"). Is this possible? If so, how?

Music from iPhoto slideshow not making it to iDVD

Hi - newbie at iDVD - got a nice slideshow on iPhoto - music, Ken Burns effect,....nice!
Exported to iDVD, one song burns to disc, others don't. All from same source. Am I doing something wrong??

Welcome to the forums.
This version of iDVD can choke on some music files. I assume you're using an iTunes album to collect all your songs for iPhoto. A workaround for your problem is to export your playlist from iTunes to CD and then import back into iTunes, but use the Advanced menu to Join CD Tracks so the songs come back as a single file.

How do I export a slideshow with music from iphoto to facebook?

I have a Bloggie camer/video recorder and I took some pictures and video of an outing I had with some friends. I'd like to share the iphoto slideshow on facebook with my friends in the slideshow format that includes the default music of choice. Any suggestions? I am using a macbook pro.

I have the same question!!

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.
