Slideshow Music Problem

Since updating to iPhoto 9.5.1 on 12/16 cannot add music to slideshow. Have done this before with no problem

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

Front Row Slideshow Music Problem

Hello:
I have been unable to change the Photo Slideshow music in Front Row. I go into iPhoto, select SlideShow and select my music, but it does not seem to save it to Front Row. I've even tried making my selections as "default" but it doesn't work.
I've tried repairing permissions on my disk, and there do seem to be problems with Front Row. However, no matter how many times I repair, the permissions still persist. Log file below
Can anyone offer any tips to a newbie (recently switched from a PC.)
Thanks,
Dan

Thanks; that's a relief, though the permissions that are referenced in the thread you pointed out (that can be safely ignored) seem to me mostly related to iPhoto Access and not Front Row (I seem to have both Front Row and iPhoto permission problems.)
So, can anyone offer any suggestions on how to change my music in Front Row's Slide Show?

IPhoto slideshow music problem.....

When the slideshow is played on the iPhoto Application in the computer, it plays all the music listed in the album chosen. HOWEVER, when exported to a CD disk it will only play the first song and then no more music for the rest of the slide show. This has been frustrating.....

Hi John,
this has been a know glitch that shows up for some .
Only one song exporting with Slideshows
Right now, 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.

Slideshow Music problem!!!! It doesnt work like it says it on the box.

I have put together some slideshows and i find every time there is a problem with the fit to music option when i select a track from my itunes library. If i let it run fine it works but if i press fit music to slide show then the track goes into a total slow down and even if i reselect another track it still repeats the same problem. ive tried with 20 slides to 40 slides. So at this point I am certain that this part of the program does not work properly. i see this problem all over the internet so adobe fix it please. Its a simple option so it doesnt take rocket science to press 2 buttons.. but these buttons dont work. Selling something that doesnt work sends me rushing back to aperture. Anybody else got this problem..u bet. fire the guy who is wasting my time having to write this.

So, are you going to share the solution because I have run out of vriables to play with.
There are a couple of ways to get around this limitation. The "right" way is a pain. The "easy" way is potentially problematic.
Bottom line: The transitions and slide duration boxes only allow precision down to a tenth of a second. If your song length and slide count don't divide up to an integer of tenths of a second, you can't fix this in the UI. If they do, it's possible the tool won't choose these properly due to roundoff error.
My suggestion is to select songs/slide counts so they do divide up into an integer number of tenths of a second (that's the problematic part) and then manually pick a slide+fade time to match that. If you can't do that, you might need to add a tenth to one or the other from what the tool chooses, but then your show might finish just before the song does.
The "right" way is to manually edit the template, where unlimited precision (well, I suspect it's 32 bit floats or something) is allowed. That's a pain.
Lightroom shouldn't force either solution onto you, but the 0.1s precision is currently the limitation here (not the math education of the team, a few of whom hold advanced degrees in mathematics and related fields). Hopefully, the team will fix that problem.

Iphoto 11 slideshow music problem

Just updated to iPhoto 11. Now when I play slide shows it will not play music from my iTunes. Tried AIFF, MP3 & M2A. The previous iphoto worked fine with my music in itunes. The slideshow does work with the sample tracks. Any ideas?????
Thanks,
Mike

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.

IPhoto 6 - slideshow music problem

Hello - Anyone else had problems selecting itunes music library? When selecting my Library or Playlist, contents not available. iPhoto only plays first song of the playlist.
Just started with version 6?
Thanks

Hi
I also had the same problem after upgrading from iPhoto 5.
I think the trick is, when selecting the music, drag the dot (pip) down so that it shows a larger box at the top, then select your playlist in this box. The tunes that are in the playlist should show in the lower box. Then click ok.

Very annoying music problem with slideshow

I have been trying the whole afternoon to solve a perplexing problem when trying to set up a slideshow:
Initial problem:
When selecting one or more songs, using various methods such as directly selecting the song, using a playlist from iTunes or a "custom playlist" in iPhoto slideshow music settings, iPhoto for no apparent reason when previewing, simply restarts a song before it or the slideshow have finished. This is despite choosing the "Fit to music" option in settings.
SO
Second much more irritating problem:
I thought I'd see what would happen if I exported it. I selected two songs, and combined those songs using all the methods listed above as well as actually creating a new iLife preview song file in garageband and even exporting the two songs into a combined .mp3 file again with garage file. I must stress that when played in Garageband, in iTunes and even with iPhoto's music preview, the two songs play perfectly one after the other with no problems. However, no matter what method or indeed file combination I use, when exporting, iPhoto causes the first song to restart a few seconds after the second one has begun resulting in them playing at the same time which as you can imagine is pretty frikking annoying and basically makes it impossible to present such a slideshow. At first I thought it was "selecting" the first song to replay but it does this even with a single .mp3 which must appear to it to be only one song, so it appears that it simply restarts the track from the beginning at a random place in the slideshow, while continuing to play the track already playing.
Anyone else experience this - I have yet to try the delete, write to CD and re-import option but this seems like a ridiculous and unacceptable thing to have to do to get something so simple to work.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
Thanks

Try deleting the iPhoto caches in the your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder and the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Reboot and try exporting again.
I'm able to export a slideshow with 3 songs without any issues except that there are long gaps between songs. Lots of dead air due to the fade out and in of the tracks.
Question: Do you have the Quicktime Player 7 installed? It's an option with Snow Leopard installation. Also when the slideshow is being exported which icon do you see in the Dock, the older Quicktime Player 7 icon or the newer QT Player 10 icon.
For several reasons I've removed the QT 10 Player and use the 7 exclusively. It have more features and, IMO, does a better job at most everything. What I'm getting at is that if the QT 10 player is exporting the slideshow that may be the problem.
If you have QT 7 then zip the QT 10 player and delete the unzipped application. Then try an export to see if you have better luck. A long shot but might work.
Some more info about QT Player 7 and it's use alone can be found in this topic: UPDATE!.

Slideshow music option "stuck"

Oddly, I'm unable to open folders or files from GarageBand demo songs or iTunes (library or playlists) when selecting music for a slideshow. All was working well until today after I added a new batch of photos. If I click on the iTunes library icon after selecting the "music" icon (in slideshow), no listing of song choices appear (as before, when all worked well). Instead the first song in the library just begins playing. Same with playlists or GarageBand demo songs. No song names are displayed -- only the first selection plays after a double click (and subsequent songs play as well in each list). The "find" function in slideshow music seems stuck too. Type in a song name from the library, hit return or the play arrow and I still get just the first song in the library list. I tried quitting iTunes, iPhoto, etc. as suggested in "help" but that didn't solve the problem. Nor did rebooting (twice) help. Am I overlooking something obvious, or are more sinister forces at work here? Suggestions welcomed!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. There's a little dimple in the horizontal bar below the window with the iTunes library icon. Click and drag down to reveal the playlists and individual tracks.

Slideshow Music not remembered??

Hey gang-
I'm running iPhoto '08 7.1.2 on my Intel iMac running OS 10.4.11. For some reason, iPhoto will not remember Slideshow music assignments. When I click the Play button for an album, I get this message "The music you selected can't be found or can't be opened".
The good news is that if I click the Music pane in Slideshow settings, the music can indeed be found and played every time. But it seems strange to have to assign the music each time I play the slideshow. Any thoughts on how to get iPhoto to remember music assignments? Thanks!
Dave

Dave:
You are clicking on the Save button in the Setting pane, right? If so and it's still not remembering the selection delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and then try again.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Slideshow Music doesn't play in iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks 10.9

After ugrading to Mavericks 10.9 and then to iPhoto 9.5, music from playlists in my iTunes 11.1.2 Library doesn't play in iPhoto slideshows. Music shows up in the iPhoto Slideshow Music menu OK, but won't play there or in slideshows themselves. Both worked fine in OSX 10.8.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3.
Oddly enough, the built-in Sample Music and Theme Music from the iPhoto Slideshow menu DO work!
Anyone else having this problem? Any fixes. Am holding off upgrading my other computers, since I do a lot with slideshows, and this is a big problem for me.

After yesterday's OSX update to 10.9 and the subsequent iPhoto 9.5 update to 9.5 I also have the same problem:
Music for old existing slide shows from iTunes can't be played back.
When changing the setting for the slide show length to be set by the playback time of the music, iPhoto crashes.
When trying to add iTunes music to a slide show the preview function does not work.
iTunes songs can be added to a slide show. When playing it back the songs will however not play.
To rule out an issue with my iPhoto picture library I did the following - sadly still yielding the same erroneous behavior:
Created new iPhoto library.
Imported 10 picutes.
Created a new slide show with said pictures.
Tried to add iTunes music: preview does not work and added song don't play when slide show is played back.

Creative Zen loading music problem

"Creative Zen loading music problem?I just started using a creative zen (DVP-FL000, 6Gb) player and i'm having?a few issues copying music onto it.
I have loaded the latest firmware (.2.03e) onto it and formatted it so was clean when i started loading my music on.
I'm using winamp on winxp to copy my music to the player, but occasionally i get tracks that wont copy to the player. Winamp just shows 'unspecified error'. If a file fails to copy it will never copy, no matter how many times i try. Somtimes its a random track, sometimes an entire album.
So i also tried copying the tracks that wont copy using windows explorer, it appears to copy but the file never appears on the device. The same is also true when i try it on my Windows7 laptop with explorer, it will appear to be copying but then part way through it will report that the device has stopped responding.
It only seems to happen with windows media files, all my mp3s copy fine. The files that dont copy probably represent about 0% of my music but play fine on all my other players.
sorry for the long post, just really scratching my head with this one!
anyone have any ideas?

solved
did a 'clean up' in the recovery menu, no problems transferring tracks since

IPhoto 5 slideshow music still available after upgrade to iPhoto6?

I've just upgraded to iPhoto6 and see that the default slideshow music has changed. I'd still like to use the iPhoto5 default music - does anyone know if this should still be available?

iLife 6 installs a new bunch of sounds, tunes, Garageband loops, etc. as well as the older ones. I believe you will be very impressed with the assortment that Apple provides (/Library/Audio/Apple Loops/Apple/iLife Sound Effects Folder). I know I was!

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?

You can't use multiple tracks. Merging them into one, using something like Audacity is the way to go. http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
