Slideshow on tv with accompanying music

How do you get music to play along with a photo slideshow either on tv or on the ipod itself
ipod 5th generation 30 gb

First, make a playlist with the music you want to play. Then, go to Photos/Slideshow Settings/Music and select that playlist. Also, make sure "TV Out" is turned "On." When you play it, make sure the volume is turned up.

Quicktime Slideshow Movie Won't Play Music

I created a slideshow using my iPhoto 5.0.4 then exported it to a movie as Quicktime, with music. It plays beautifully on my machine. I burned it to a CD and sent it to someone with the identical Mac (a PowerBook G4) and he couldn't play it on his SAME version of QuickTime. As he explained it, his Apple kept sending him to iTunes to search for the music, which it claimed it couldn't find even in the Music Store (odd, since I bought the music from my Music Store).
Similarly, another person trying to view the same Quicktime movie on a PC, using a freshly downloaded of version of Quicktime, reported that the slideshow played but with NO music.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
Anne

Thanks for the explanations. I am trying to get my brain around the notion that if I had a CD of my own downloaded to iTunes, I could make all the copies I wanted and use them however I wanted, but a legally purchased song that iPhoto has no objection to my exporting to a QT movie is outside the rules!
That said, the explanation makes technical sense to me, so thanks!

How do you run a slideshow with no music in new Photos app

In the new Photos app I can find no way of running a slideshow without music - either the standard themes or selecting my own music. How can I run a slideshow with no music at all? No setting, tab or option seems to be available to achieve this.

Hit top right arrow for slide show; click on Music, click button next to search; choose Theme songs, click on blue check mark to remove it, then hit PLAY SLIDESHOW.

I cannot play music with my slideshows. I setup the music but it does not play, even with my older slideshows I hear no music.

This category is for iPod shuffle. Is that the type of iPod you have, because your description of the problem does not sound like it's about a shuffle? If it's not a shuffle, what is the iPod model...?
There is music there and I can play it connected to laptop.
Are you doing the playing using the iPod, or are you playing the music using iTunes on the laptop?
All mucis icons read "No music" and this is not correct
Do these icons with "No music" appear on the laptop's screen, or on the iPod's screen

Create slideshow with NO music

Hello all.
How do you go about creating a slideshow in iPhoto 08 with NO music? I find controls for transitions, length of photos, ken burns, etc but can't find a setting to delete music from the slideshow.
Thanks much!
Mike

DUH!!
Figured it out, sorry to have bothered...guess I shouldn't be so impatient.

Converting slideshow from iphoto with itune playlist as background music

I have created a slideshow in iphoto with an itune playlist as the background music and when I convert it throught quicktime into a movie it only plays the first song from the playlist. All photos look good in the slide. This problem has started since I upgraded to quicktime 7.4. Does anyone have any suggestions. I have created slideshows with music before and converted them through quicktime with no trouble. I can't figure this one out?? Thank you

David,
I am sorry! I thought I was giving a solved to both of you. I was just playing around with fotomagico tonight. I love it...for $49. I know I have alot of posts and should be familiar with the solved thing. But most of my posts involve when I first started with Macs three years ago. I should have been more carefull. Non-the-less you were considerate enough to take your time out to help me. Much appreciated!
Some people on this FCP site are very critical of newbies often criticizing rather than helping. I rarely post here because of that.
I am a old time photographer (still have my darkroon stuff) who wants to get into a bit more of the film thing. Hence FCP. But what a learning curve! Mind you it is easier than Photoshop! (Now that's a learning curve coming from a film/darkroom guy).
Thanks again.

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 with music at 1070p, then put it to both a CD and a DVD. I cannot play either back on my iMac. It is jumpy and unusable on playback. Different Video card needed? Any Help?

I created a slideshow using lightroom3 at 1070p with music. After transferring the slideshow to a DVD I could not play it back on my iMac without a lot of skipping. Any ideas? Different Video card??

As I said, I've not used Lightroom (and I tried to find some info on the Adobe website, but they like to make it difficult to find things - the only thing easy to find was the "buy" button LOL).
I get some pretty good quality - and actually reduce my videos from 1080 to 720p because of the enormous file size, rendering time required, and the fact that I simply cannot tell the difference on my 42" HDTV. My workflow is: create a slideshow in Photo to Movie (I've found that superior to anything else I've tried), add that to my iMovie project (in between video clips, etc), add transitions, titles, or whatever. Export at the highest settings (experimented with different settings on a 30 sec clip) to desktop. Fire up iDVD, customize a theme/menu with videos, music, stills and then add my movie(s). Encode there to highest quality, create a Video TS folder (which will include all the files necessary so you can delete the originals if you want) or burn from there. If I do the folder method, I use Roxio Toast to burn it at the slowest speed available.
Using that workflow, my movies rock (if I say so myself ) and have a great quality. And I've never had a coaster.

How do I copy slideshow with the music to a DVD?

How do I burn a slideshow with the music (from iTunes) to a DVD - can't seem to get the music to go with it.
Thanks for any help.

Provided the external is suitably formatted, Just drag and drop from their location on the Mac to wherever you want them on the external.
Or are you meaning moving an iPhoto Library?

Flickr slideshow with AirTunes music?

Is it possible to run a Flickr photo slideshow (or any other internet photo slideshow for that matter) on AppleTV and simultaneously send iTunes music to play through this AppleTV as a targeted speaker via AirTunes?
For example, when the AppleTV is idle, I can send music to the AppleTV via the iTunes speakers selection, and music will play through the TV with track/album/artist info shown/overlayed on the AppleTV screensaver. With the music streaming, as soon as I control the AppleTV locally to go to photos and display a slideshow of a Flickr album, the music stops playing through this AppleTV.
Likewise, if I start a Flickr slideshow first on the AppleTV, and then go to iTunes to select this AppleTV as an AirTunes speaker, I get a message in iTunes that this device is in use and can't connect.
Note: In this scenario I do not want the AppleTV visuals to be the local content "floating and flipping" slideshow of the screensaver, but rather a slideshow whose source material is pulled from the internet (i.e. Flickr, MobileMe...)
I am running current versions of iTunes and AppleTV firmware.

Ah well. Perhaps this will be a feature in a future firmware update for AppleTV.

Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music.

Windows movie maker dose not seem to work with itunes music anymore. Hear is what happend in a nut shell.
For reasons I can not explain I had to reinstall all my software on my Vista HP notbook. But I only had one why of saving my data music,photos. I had to use my flash drive to save everything as my DVD recoder would not work right at the time.
So I save everything I needed and then did the deed then when that was all done and everything was working right again. I put all my photos and music back to my computer. All my music or aleast most of my music is from itunes some music is from CD I do not have anymore.
My question is when I go to put music with my movie or slideshow with Windows movie maker. A box pops up and tells me that this song dose not have the right codec but it also tell me did I download the right codec. I have know idea what its talking about. Movie Maker worked fine with itunse music before the reinstall. I am thinking I did not save the music right though the music plays great on itunes but just will not import right to my movie project. I am at a lose for words can someone please help me shed some well needed light on this all the help I can get would be a God send thank you.

this happens to me too can someone please tell us what is going on?

I created a slide show using my photos on iphoto can I burn this to a dvd with the music in the backgroun

I created a slide show using photos from iphoto and I was able to put it to music to view it on my mac. I am trying to figure out a way to download it or burn it to a DVD with the music in order that it can be given as a gift. Also is there a way to use multiple songs for the slideshow.
thanks much

First if you slideshow requires more than one audio track go to iTunes and create a new playlist with the music you want. You can take the total time of the playlist and divide by the number of slides to get the approximate playing time for each slide.
In iDVD go into the slideshow window and then click on the Audio button at the right. Locate the playlist and drag it into the music bin at the bottom of the window.
Click to view full size
Be sure that non of the audio tracks are DRM protected tracks from the iTunes store. You won't be able to use them if they are. And remember this is only for slideshows created by iDVD from still photos imported from iPhoto.

Inserting Black Slide With No Music

Using iWork08, I opened a PowerPoint (PP) presentation and saved it in Keynote 08 (KN).
When running presentation in PP it is possible to have the first slide BLACK with no music, make a few comments, and when I want to proceed just hit the return key and the presentation continues with music.
In KN the presentation plays music with the first BLACK slide. If I turn music off, it turns it off for the remainder of the presentation. Is there a way to insert a BLACK slide at the beginning of KN with no music and have music commence with the second slide forward?
jzach52

Given the way that the current version of Keynote deals with audio tracks, what you are trying to do is not possible - directly. There are a couple of workarounds I could suggest, but both are rather cumbersome:
1) Determine how much time you need for your opening comments under the black slide and when Recording the Soundtrack, include that much silence at the head of the audio track before the music starts; have the first "real" slide begin with the music.
2) Create a silent, black slideshow: one single black slide with no audio. Then Hyperlink the end of this to the first slide in your regular presentation. This will allow you to have as much time as you need for the introductory comments.
CAVEAT: The slideshow will NOT retain any of your Recorded Synchronization when played back via a hyperlink. You will need to advance all of your Builds and Transitions manually. Thus, this is not likely a solution to your problem if you want your slideshow to playback fully automatically.

IPhoto 9.6 Slideshows - Can't Use iTunes music

Hardware
iMac 27-inch, Late 2012
OS
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Applications
iPhoto 9.6
iTunes 12.0.1.26
Issue: when changing the settings to 'Fit slideshow to music' this message comes up:
error message: the music you have selected is too short for the number of photos in your slideshow
When I change the music setting to a playlist in iTunes, it doesn't work and reverts back to the default sample music.
I tried changing the music formats to mp3: didn't work.
Attempted the organize library fix in iTunes BUT, that option is greyed out.
There has to be more people with this issue out there.
I didn't have this problem before all the updates.
The only option I have at the moment is to export the slideshow with no music and then use a video editing program to sync music with it.
Which isn't a big deal but using iPhoto to create the whole thing USED TO WORK...
Shoddy software engineering IMHO...Come on Apple! You're better than this.

You can't use or convert standard iTunes 128 kbps copy protected songs for playing in other programs. The only thing you can do with standard songs apart from playing them in iTunes or on an iPod/iPhone is burn them to Audio CD. You can use that CD just like any regular one. The iTunes Store songs are now all iTunes Plus which are no longer copy protected and can be played outside of iTunes.

Can't burn my artwork files with my music onto CD WHY?

I am a musician, so when I want burn a disc of all my tracks from my own playlist, for my friends and family, I want to burn my original artwork files (which are all jpgs, pngs, gifs or tiffs so they should be compatible), onto the CD as well! I have already created my own original artwork which is in the playlist, but when I come to burn a copy of my music, it doesn't burn any of the artwork files that are in the playlist! I thought iTunes '09 new version, was supposed to be an improvement from the last versions for more flexibility and creative control for users. This obviously is NOT the case. I would like any correspondence from Apple or technical help as to why I can't do this because it's so frustrating and very annoying. iTunes isn't all that, that Apple claims it to be if it is this inflexible creatively! Surely, it can't be that difficult to write in the software for this creative facility that allows us to burn our own artwork files on to CD's along with our music? I would appreciate any comments you may have regarding this design fault. Anyone with any reasons as to why Apple have NOT addressed this problem? I am so disappointed with this lack of flexibility for musicians alike.

Hi to everyone that replied and many thanks for your input.
I have bought well known and established artists CD's containing their music, track lists and artwork files from branded retailers. When I have loaded them into iTunes, it automatically loaded the artwork files FROM the CD I bought, so all that nonsense about audio CD's having nothing but audio isn't accurate. No, they were not DVD's either. I will endeavor to find a software package that CAN do what I need as an independent artist. iTunes just doesn't cut the mustard for me, even though it's free. I do know about issues with copyright and artists protection, but there should be something that can be done or made in iTunes, so it doesn't infringe copyright of artists, but can be used by artists like myself without the software being abused by freeloaders. Oh well, maybe when I'm too old for this malarkey...

Transferred itunes library from Windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. plugged in 3rd gen Ipod. Ipod icon appears along with playlists, music etc. Songs are grayed out and won't play. Please help!

I recently transferred itunes library from windows XP PC to new Windows 7 PC. The transfer was successful, however when I plug my 3rd gen Ipod Nano into the new PC, the Ipod icon appears along with the music, playlists, etc. The songs are shown but are 'grayed out' and wont play or sync.The 'Devices & Printers' window in new PC shows icon for Ipod driver & is OK. The icon for the Ipod appears but depicts a delta shaped warning icon that states that the Ipod is'not operating properly'. Tried troubleshooting. The troubleshooting message states the the Ipod is 'disconnecting'. Can you help me with this problem?

Then, I dropped the entire itunes file from the old PC (XP) into an empty external drive.
That "itunes file from the old PC"? Is that the iTunes folder, from the old PC, that was in the user home folder's Music folder?
All of the library, playlists, etc. from the ipod as they always have been are shown, by they are 'grayed out' and will not open or play.
That's on the iPod, correct? Are all of your old playlists in iTunes, from the old PC, still there in iTunes on the new PC? Are the songs in iTunes still playable?
This document provides the steps to transfer a complete iTunes library between two computers. See the section called External drive.
iTunes: How to move your music to a new computer - Apple Support
There are many steps, but this is a summary. (1) On the old PC, consolidate all of your iTunes data into the iTunes folder. (2) Copy this iTunes folder to the external drive. (3) On the new PC (that has iTunes installed but NOT running), replace its existing iTunes folder with the one from the old PC (on the external drive). When you run iTunes, it uses the iTunes folder from the old PC, and it should look like iTunes on the old PC (with all the playlists, ratings, play count, etc.), and your iPod will see the iTunes library as the same iTunes library (because it is the same library).
If you did something different, and the old PC is still accessible, you may want to try it using the method from the linked document.
