Slideshow's Music Playlist doesn't stick

Has anyone else been able to set their slideshow music? This feature doesn't appear to be working for me.

My iPod just started doing this too and it was right after I updated it to iOS 8.3! It was working fine before that.  Does anyone know how to fix it?

  • Apple TV Streaming iPhoto Slideshow/Streaming Music Playlist

    For some reason my Apple TV lists Photo-Settings-Music>Off and I can't change it. I have a Music Playlist selected in iPhoto Slideshow settings on my iMac that I stream from but I'm getting no music when streaming photos to Apple TV. I thought the Apple TV listed my streaming playlists before but it seems to have oddly disapeared. I've rebooted both my iMac and Apple TV but no change. I've also disconnected from my iTunes libary and reconnected but it still hasn't corrected this problem. Am I missing a menu for this option somewhere on the Apple TV? Thank you for any assistance that you can provide.

    Although you have only one library and stream only there are essentially 2 ways to look at setting this up.
    You can set your library up as a shared (or secondary library) in which event it can only stream content.
    Or you can set your library up as a primary library in which event it will have streaming and syncing capabilities, even though you don't actually select anything to sync.
    Think of this as syncing turned off vs syncing turned on but with no items syncing. I do believe unless you set things up the latter way your music library won't be available to use in conjunction with slideshows.
    This does of course mean that you would then need to sync your photos from your primary library. Primary libraries require that photos are synced. If you had any secondary libraries they would then be able to stream their photos and use the music from the primary library for slideshows.

  • Exporting Quicktime Slideshows with Music Playlists-No audio

    I am using iPhoto 7.1.3, Quicktime Pro, OS 10.4.11 on a MacBook Pro. I made a slideshow that has 300 photos and attached it to a playlist of four mp3 songs (all the same format, I believe). When I play the slideshow in iPhoto, it runs fine: all four songs play through from the selection of the playlist. However, when I export the slideshow as a Quicktime movie, there is no audio.
    If I choose one song, the file works fine, repeating the music over and over.
    If I go to the hassle of opening the individual songs in Quicktime and copying and pasting the audio together into one large track, imported back into iTunes, then I can "hack" the four songs into my Quicktime export.
    It doesn't seem like this should be a problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Jack

    If you can't find a solution try Join Together, a free application for joining multiple tracks into one. It's reasonable fast, I'm joining audio CDs together as I type, and would make it much easier that doing it manually.
    That being said, try reinstalling the intel 10.4.11 COMBO installer and the latest QT updater, 7.4.1. Follow that by a repair of disk permissions. All bets are off if any of the tracks are protected tracks from the iTMS.
    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.

  • "Fit slideshow to music" feature doesn't work

    I've selected "Fit sideshow to music" on a slideshow I've made. Using a song imported from my iTunes library. Ken Burns effect is switched on.
    But the feature doesn't work. The song ends but there are still more slides to show.
    Isn't the idea that the computer will speed up the pix so they end just as the music ends?
    Anyone know how to fix this?
    Thanks.

  • New Purchased Music Playlist

    My purchased music playlist doesn't seem to show up. Can I recover it? The music files are there just not the playlist. Do I need to create a new one? I don't remember creating that playlist in the first place.

    Well, it'll be re-created next time you buy something from iTunes. iTunes always has a free download, so you can use that.
    Then, in the library, sort by Kind. Drag all Protected AAC Files into the playlsit.

  • Slideshow music - playlist only??

    My Dad has iPhoto 5. He can't add a single track to a slideshow the way I can in iPhoto 08. He says when he clicks the music icon in the slideshow, only the playlists show up - not the individual tracks in the library. Surely he doesn't need to make a playlist of just one song if he wants it to show up within the music pane in iPhoto - does he?
    Thanks!

    Perhaps he needs to look for the little 'dimple' and move it up or down to reveal the list of individual tracks. Look at the post by lori_diloreto, especially her screen shots which may illustrate the solution. http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3836266

  • Assigning a music playlist to a slideshow -- similar to Front Row

    I don't yet have a AppleTV, but considering one -- the main reason is to view photos. With Front Row, say you create "slideshow A" with music from an iTunes playlist "set A" and "slideshow B" with music from playlist "set B". When you play back "slideshow A" you'll always hear set A music and when you play "slideshow B" you'll always hear set B music. I've read AppleTV doesn't work this way and you can not assign a specific music playlist to a specific slideshow or photo album. Is this true?

    Yes and No, but essentially No.
    It is possible to set specific music to play during a slideshow but it will apply to every slideshow. So hence it would be necessary to choose your music before commencing any slideshow if you wanted specific music to play.
    There is another option which might be difficult to explain since you don't have an tv but here goes: a slideshow on the tv isn't the same as a slideshow in iphoto. Generally most people will sync photo albums to the tv, the tv will then add music and transitions to those pictures depending on which music and transition options you have chosen on the tv, hence what I said above.
    As you likely know, iphoto can create its own slideshows that include music and transitions depending on the options you choose in iphoto. If you sync these slideshows to the tv rather than photo albums then the tv will ignore its own settings and use the settings you have chosen in iphoto instead, providing you have synced that music to the tv also.

  • I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the "My Music" playlist?

    I recently downloaded the new iTunes version. Why doesn't my new uploaded music appear in the top of the "Music" playlist?

    First see if Finder Preferences has the box checked for... show CD, DVD, iPods checked.
    Sometimes dirty DVDs won't read, mine is ery particular about smudges and scratches.
    Try a SMC Reset:
    SMC RESET

    Shut down the computer.
    Unplug the computer's power cord and ALL peripherals.
    Wait 15 seconds.
    Attach the computers power cable.
    Wait another 5 seconds and press the power button to turn on the computer.
    It is the 5 second timing that initiates the reset.

  • When viewing slideshow my photo playlist stops and randomly plays for a view seconds only

    When I go to view a slideshow of photos the playlist I assigned to play either doesn't play or randomly kicks in during slideshow.  I have assigned several different playlist to my photo slideshow and they all do the same thing.  I am connected to a Mac.  No problems with pictures just my playlist.

    When I say playlist I mean music playlist.

  • Reader 9 and X won't play slideshow background music

    I have been using Reader 8 satisfactorily, for years, to play slideshows I have made, over many years, using Adobe Album 2.0... admittedly an old program... perhaps 10 years old. Typically I have installed background music in my slideshows. Reader 8 never hesitates to play the slideshows and the music, like a champ.
    Two years ago I installed Reader 9 and had to reverse that installation back to version 8, because Reader 9 wouldn't play the background music.
    Today I installed Reader X, in the hope that it would play the background music, but this was not the case.
    I have verified the presence of Quicktime n my computer, and changed preferences in Reader X to play sounds using Quicktime.  I checked a box that was unchecked, that says to play embedded music.  (Adobe Reader X, Edit, Preferences, Multimedia (Legacy)).
    Can anyone vouch for Adobe Reader X's abilty to play slideshow music?
    Any help appreciated.  I'd like to adopt Reader X, but I also want my music to play.  Can I re-compile those slideshows, somehow?

    Front Row in Mac OS X 10.5.x has been broken the whole time. It used to work fine in Mac OS X 10.4.x (Tiger). Front Row will not play an iTunes playlist during a slideshow if the playlist contains more than one song. You can use a playlist that only has one song in it, but then you might as well just choose a single song instead of a playlist! I would suggest you send Apple some Mac OS X feedback:

    For what it's worth, iPhoto seems to work fine with slideshows and iTunes playlists with more than one song.

  • Slideshow with Music?

    Hello. I’m looking for some help with creating slideshows, with music, and creating a web page so it plays for friends (Mac or Windows users).
    I can do the basics. I’ve selected a group of photos in iPhoto (6.0.4) and created a slideshow, then I selected Music. I clicked Play and was happy with the results. Now what?
    By accident, my first slide show (while in iPhoto) encorporated a sound track (Sample Music - “Acoustic Sunrise.”) And when I played the show it looks and sounds great. But I am unable to replicate this for posting on the web.
    When I select a group of photos from my Library and then select the “Create Slideshow” button, I get options that include Music. However, when I choose the iWeb button and use the drop down menu to select Photo Page, I no longer have the option to include music.
    Likewise, if I Save a slideshow while in iPhoto, then go to Share - Send to iWeb, nothing happens. It is greyed out.
    Soewhere along in this process I managed to Publish. But the published shows do not include the sound track. I can’t see any option for including music.
    I’m confused. I’m trying to do anything fancy here. I just want to post what it is I am getting in iPhoto on my desktop so family-friends can view and hear. Help?

    Noodlehead, I share your frustration & disappointment at the lack of elegant interface between iPhoto, Keynote, and iWeb. I am frustrated! I have spent all night creating a Keynote presentation to put up on iWeb for a state presentation. Although I was able to put a very clumsy version using QT, it's very unfriendly - no music, no controls. So I tried to export it as HTML. No can do uploading html to iWeb. So, I took those individual jpg files in iPhoto and made a slideshow with music. Cool! But again, there is absolutely no interface between iPhoto slideshows and iWeb. The support directions for Share: Mac Slides are great until you look for a Step 5: Connecting your slideshow to iWeb or even .Mac. Photocasting doesn't even allow people to go from one picture to the next with out clicking in and out of pictures (Click to view. Click to close pic. Mouse down to next pic. Click to open the next pic Click to close. Mouse click down ... AND there's no music that goes with . I'm thinking I could make an iMovie, but I am so afraid THAT won't upload either. I thought there was this elegant interface between iWork & iLife. Boy, am I WRONG! It looks sexy, but it turns out to be crack junkie. I've been up all night and all day now going from one dead end to another. IF anyone CAN HELP, PLEASE RESPOND. I think I'm going to try taking it into iMovie and then hopefully put that on iWeb. SAVE ME!

  • Possible to have video playlists NOT show up in the music playlists tab?

    I like how when I go to videos > video playlists, my iPod will show only the playlists that contain only movies and music videos inside.
    Is it possible to have it so that the video-only playlists are parsed from the music > playlists tab? That section is cluttered enough as it is, and having empty playlists inside really doesn't help.
    Also, anyone have tips for managing large amounts of songs? Since I have a lot of one-hit-wonders, the artist and album tabs has gotten populated with 1-song artists and 1-song albums, making it a pain for browsing through in search of whole albums.
    Maybe I could put a symbol around the artist or album to make it higher or lower in the alphabet. From what I've seen, it goes symbols, numbers, then letters. Is there anything I can use to sort alphabetically in iTunes to be below the letter z?

    I just remembered something; japanese characters (letters) are sorted by iTunes below the letter z. Accented characters (such as ö) get sorted next to their regular (o is higher than ö).
    And so, I think I will go through and find all the albums and artists that only have one song to them and rename them using a japanese character so that they appear at the bottom of the album and artist lists. Should make looking through those much easier.
    I would still like an answer to my first question.

  • HT6162 7.1: When will Apple fix Music/playlist sync? It's been 7 months since IOS 7 came out

    This is a common problem that has been plaguing IOS 7 years from the getgo. When you sync via cable with itunes, my iphone deletes songs I want, adds songs I don't want and makes the newly added songs undeletable. I know all of the hackish "fixes" to this problem but I was really hoping apple would cleanly fix the bugs that are occurring here given this new big update. It doesn't look like this has not happened. I'm writing the community here to see if they are also having the same music problems occuring after 7.1. Hopefully some apple employees will see this as well.

    I've had this problem since I got IOS 7 and it drives me crazy. I kept asking friends online if they had the same problem and nobody did.. Then I found several threads online where people were talking about this issue and offering fixes. I tried many fix attempst to no avail, and then I just gave up. Some people are saying that Apple knows about this problem and may be waiting for IOS 8 to release a fix with is total BS. Why would we have to wait that long to fix such an important issue?
    I miss the time when I could listen to my music playlists on my phone. Those were the days...

  • Show in playlist doesn't work iTunes 11

    Right Click on a track.
    Select Show in Playlist ....
    The selected playlist appears but requested track is not highlighted like it used to be in iTunes 10

    a) Show Sidebar enabled
    Highlight a track, anywhere (in a Playlist), right-click.  From the context menu select Show in Playlist, and select to show the track in another playlist, then the head of the selected playlist is shown and the track is not shown.
    However, doing the same, but selecting to Show in Playlist, but the playlist is a library ("Music") does work, the song is highlighted in the library.
