Slideshow Setup

I am trying to set up a slideshow in GoLive CS2. I have prepared all the images according to the rules. In the actions pallette I selected the trigger action (mouse click) and selected multimedia>slideshow. I tried to select the Base Image from the Base Image pop-up menu, but the pop-up menu is dimmed.
How can I activate the Base Image pop-up menu?
I am using Mac OS 10.5.8 on an Intel core duo.

Walt,
I deleted the height and width properties in the source code and it
worked like a charm.
Incidentally, I have GL version 8.0.1 (CS2).
For user guides, I rely on "GoLive6 For Dummies" and the GL HELP file,
both of which are limited.
Thanks for all your help.

Questions on Slideshows in & from Lightroom 4

As a Mac user that is relatively new to LR, I need a bit of guideance. I am accustomed to creating slideshows in iMovie. However, this is the first time that I have used LR to process my images for export to iMovie. Without going into detail, the RAW processed images that I exported (as JPEGs) to iMovie retained all of their editing except for major changes in tonality. Is this an inherent problem of incompatibility between LR4 & iMovie '11?
If so, I need to explore other options for creating quality slideshows that are compatible with LR. Correct me if I am wrong, but the slideshow module in LR seems to be rather limited interms of features (compared to iMovie). Can someone recommend an alternative slideshow-creatibg app that plays well with LR?
Thank you for any help you can offer.

Don't get me started on the Slideshow module ... it has languished in obscurity since introduced in Lr v1 ...
I don't think it is an incompatibility per se ... jpegs are jpegs whether they come from Lr, iPhoto or any other source ... What color profile are you using when you export the jpegs for iMovie? If you are not using sRGB, that could likely be the culprit ... cause I'm not sure iMovie honors or recognizes the other available color profiles like Adobe RGB or Prophoto RGB ...
As for other options on Mac ... I purchased Aperture 3 pretty much just for the slideshow and book features (this was before the Book module in Lr 4 came out though I still prefer to do my books in A3) ... as far as I am concerned, the A3 slideshow setup should be the model for all others to build upon ... it's quite full featured ... since you are familiar with iMove, it's setup is quite similar ...

MovieClip buttons inside a MovieClip button inside another MovieClip button

I am trying to make a Portfolio of my study abroad experience and can get something right about the movie clip buttons inside each other. I have a button to click on titled "travel" and a window shows up with more movieclip buttons to organize different locations of pictures. I can click on the button to have to slide of pictures but nothing happens. I have the "turnOffAllButtons" coding and also have the coding for stay clicked, but I can't get the 3rd set to show up. what am i not doing?
I don't have any errors or output comments showing up

I have it working now. what I did, I make a slideshow setup (gotoAndStop(1);) in a specific frame and the code I put in for the next, didnt work.
this is was I have now, without the "turnOffAllButtons" coding:
Main Button (actions Layer):
stop();
travelButton_mc.buttonMode=true;
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, colorizetravelButton);
function colorizetravelButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
travelButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, decolorizetravelButton);
function decolorizetravelButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
travelButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(21);
travelButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadtravelLocations);
function loadtravelLocations(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
travelButton_mc.gotoAndStop(50);
travelLocations_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
Inside the travelLocations_mc I have currently one button to show a slide of pictures, this is the second layer of buttoncode:
stop();
scotlandButton_mc.buttonMode=true;
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OVER, colorizescotlandButton);
function colorizescotlandButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(2);
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.ROLL_OUT, decolorizescotlandButton);
function decolorizescotlandButton(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
if (givenEvent.currentTarget.currentFrame != 50)
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndPlay(21);
scotlandButton_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, loadscotlandInfoPage);
function loadscotlandInfoPage(givenEvent:MouseEvent){
scotlandButton_mc.gotoAndStop(50);
scotlandInfoPage_mc.gotoAndPlay(1);
I turned the alpha up so you can see the mc that loads
I currently have a keyframe at 60 with a code of stop(); so the travelLocations_mc will still
does this make sense?

Can't find a php file on root - its there?

Hi,
Sorry for the repeated posts.
I am now getting these issues:
Warning: include_once(home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/example.php on line 49

This demo uses the "Movies" template and the sample data that come bundled with the purchase package
The fpss file is sitting on my server and is the sub folder for the php file. The html which gets me to this point is:-
<?php
         /* Frontpage Slideshow: Setup Steps */
         /* Please refer first to the online documentation here: http://www.joomlaworks.gr/content/view/74/41/ */
         // 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
         $slideshow = "myslideshow";
         // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
         $siteURL = "http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
         // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
         $sitePath = "home/thevilla/public_html";
         // Include the slideshow
         include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE
         ?>

Sorry iPHP,
Just been back over the posts and I have changed the html to read:-
// 1. Enter the name of your slideshow
            $slideshow="myslideshow";
            // 2. Enter your site's URL (without trailing slash)
            $siteURL="http://www.thevillagers.co.uk";
            // 3. Enter the absolute path of your site on the server (without trailing slash)
            $sitePath="/home/thevilla/public_html";
            // Include the slideshow
            include_once($sitePath."/fpss/fpss.php"); // DO NO EDIT THIS LINE
Which are the absolute paths as far as I am aware?
Uploading this PHP file I now get errors saying:-
Warning: require_once(/home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/slideshows/myslideshow/parameters.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/thevilla/public_html/fpss/fpss.php on line 16

In regard to this error the files are online on my host server, so this can't be the problem? line 16 in fpss.php relates to:-

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.

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

How to keep slideshow on one screen in a dual monitor setup

The slideshow shows on my laptop screen which is fine, but iPhoto '09 commandeers my external monitor as well, making it black/blank and unusable during the slide show. How can I continue to work and use my external monitor while playing a slideshow on my laptop screen?

iPhoto doesn't support dual screens. Send a feature request to http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

Repetitive task setup - Any shortcuts for Multiple Slideshow Advance on click?

I have to create 20 pages that all have the same set up: 4 multi state objects, with 4 states each. On top of each MSO is a button that advances the slideshow to the next state. Are there any shortcuts, or any way to automate parts of the set up? Or do I have to create every state of every MSO from scratch?

I think some form of automation would be good as I have asked for something similar regarding snippets, but the dps team have not really answered this question directly,maybe something could be forth coming in the next release.

What's the best way to setup a media server/central storage for all of my?

I was wondering what the best way to achieve a central media server for all my iTunes content + iPhoto's, calendar syncing and contact sharing is? This is what I currently have:
iMac 20" Aluminum + External HD Backup (kids)
Macbook Black (wife)
Macbook Pro 15" (me)
Airport Extreme 802.11n (obvious)
TimeCapsule 1TB (wifi backup for wife/me)
I would like to replace my PC in my office with a brand new Mac Pro Nehalem 8-Core, 8GB Ram, and 4TB, and replace my PC laptop in my living room attached to my tv, with an Apple TV.
I want to centralize all our Photos from vacations, etc. Music, videos, movies, that are currently split up over wife's macbook, kids imac and my macbook pro onto my soon to be purchased Mac Pro.
I want to be able to stream everything from my living room via Apple TV for when guests come over, dinner parties, etc. (plus I love apple and it keeps things clean)
I'm currently using MobileMe to sync all of our Calendars and Contacts with my main account, which is great, but MobileMe doesn't sync to family members accounts =
What would I need to do to centralize all this onto my future Mac Pro so that everyone has access all the time when they are home and the key here is, modify/update/change from their machines and sync it back/update it on the Mac Pro.
Also, I'm hoping Snow Leopard has some changes to iTunes to make this a little more possible, since we're right around the corner from this release. I don't really want to spend an additional $900+ on Snow Leopard Server to have to achieve these results, but if it makes it easier, and does the job, then I guess I might. This is all speculation though, since it's not out yet. I'd like to get this all sorted and setup within the next month.
I was considering a Drobo, they say they can throw up iTunes Server but, I appreciate everyone for reading this, and taking the time to respond!
Thanks!

I'm in the process of setting up a smaller (and cheaper) but somewhat similar setup to what you want to do, so maybe one example might help point you in the right direction. My needs consist of a centralized location for data storage, which will include iPhoto libraries (I keep two separate ones), iTunes (which I also want served to the home theater system), something other than my laptop to play internet videos and downloaded content on my TV, all with ideally the lowest cost and energy use possible.
My solution was the new Mini with a FW800 external drive as the server/media hub and Airport gigabit as the network hub (it also handles the backup drive).
FW800 is fast enough to saturate a gigabit ethernet link, so I don't consider that much of a bottleneck. The Mini then has iTunes running at all times with its centralized library on it; it is hooked to the home theater via HDMI-DVI video and optical audio, so it can play music and also handle videos when desired; Front Row with the Apple remote is close enough to an AppleTV that I think it handles that well, and it's more full-featured than an AppleTV. It can further be used to display photos/slideshows/whatever on the TV for guests or such, or to surf from the couch with a wireless mouse/keyboard. You can also toss in an EyeTV for $150 and use that as a DVR if you feel like it.
When I want to edit photos or such on my desktop, the gigabit link is fast enough that I can run iPhoto without noticing any significant slowdown. Its also usable over wireless, though I have a dangling extra network cable to plug into a laptop for full gigabit speed if need be. iTunes, of course, shares its library, which can be played from any of the computers in the house if so desired (iPhoto can do that too if you just want to display).
If I REALLY wanted top speed (though I've even done video editing in iMovie via ethernet without issue), I could use a third party synch app (I like Sync) to mirror any of the content from the mini server to a local drive; this works fine with anything but multi-way synching, such as address books being modified in different locations. I'd probably try to set up one of those Mobile Me clone systems or use a 3rd party app if I needed to do that.
Again, maybe this isn't powerful enough or "synched" enough in terms of local storage for your taste, but the advantage is that a Mini uses a minute fraction of the power of a Mac Pro, so you're saving a lot on electricity if the computer will be powered up at all times as a server, and it's also a lot more full-featured as a home theater media hub than an AppleTV. And, heck, the thing is about as well equipped as my old top-of-the-line G5 tower for a 5th the cost and 1/15th the power and noise.

Is there a way to combine the best of slideshow and tooltip widgets?

I am trying to produce a sliding menu similar to the "Now Playing" movies listed on this website : http://themoviehouse.com/
where you can mouse over and a box pops up and stays up so that you can click links within the box. The catch is that I need this box to disappear when the mouse is not on it so that content behind the box is again visable.
I have seen this on so many websites so I assume can build this in Muse.
Obviously with tooltip the box does not stay open. With a slideshow, the box does not disappear when you are done.
Is there a way to combine the two or is there another widget that allows me to create what I am looking for?

Install the Apple Configurator (osx only) and it will cache the iOS update on there after it's been installed once. From then on each device you plug-in will take the update from Apple Config without having to download it. I have this setup on a macbook air and it saves me a lot of time.
The updates are device specific so make sure you update one iPhone 4, one 4S, one 5, one iPad etc before heading out to sea. I thought installing the update on an iPhone 4S will work on an iPhone 5 but the first iPhone 5 I connected needed to download.

How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
Is it possible ?
Seems not ... yet.

You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

I am locked up in slideshows, a prompt comes up "the volume for (a picture) cannot be found, how do I get out of slideshow,

I am locked up in slideshows in IPhoto, a message comes up "the volume for "some picture" cannot be found, Insert the disk or connect to the server volume and wait for it to appear on the destop, then try again." you can hit find photo, cancel (which it will not let you) or OK which does nothing, I want to delete this slideshow, or at the very least get out of slideshows, how can I do that?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution. We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what do you see when you try to view the the photos in the slideshow in full size?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

Is it possible to create an iPhoto slideshow with a menu for each child?

I want the DVD to open with three photos: Karen's, Lori's and Amy's.
When Karen clicks her photo, three more of her photos will appear: a baby photo, a school-age photo, and an adult photo. If she wants to watch a slideshow of her baby pictures, she will click the baby photo...
Each daughter will have a similar setup - three slideshows for each of them. I'm not very picky about which theme will do the job.
I have checked two books and the Apple tutorial and can't find a similar example.
This is only my second slideshow. Any help will be appreciated!
Flat Panel iMac (still love it) w/superdrive Mac OS X (10.4.4) iLife'06, 512 mb ram, 200 GB and 250 GB hard drives, wireless network

Yes this can be done.
First create the 9 slideshows you need in iPhoto......for each one, when finished use the "Send to iDVD" to create a QT movie of each slideshow......be sure to pick the music/playlist in iPhoto (unless you want to use iMovie for that and other things...). When iDVD opens, just close it without saving.
Then open iDVD and choose a menu. As an example, choose "Portfolio Color". Retitle it to "Daughters" or whatever you want.
Then click on the "+" sign at the lower left, and choose "add submenu" -do this two more times yo get three folders. Then click on the media button, and choose three photos to use as a button instead of the folder. Just drag each photo onto the folder. Rename each submenu to Karen, Lori and Amy. Click once on the text, wait, then click again and edit.
Then double click on one submenu. Drag in the correct three iPhoto movies you exported using the "Send to iDVD" command. By default, they go to your home directory in the Movies folder. You can also find them using the Media tab in iDVD and look for Movies.
Go back to the "Main" menu using the back arrow (double click on it).
Repeat for the other two submenus.
Hope this helps,

Problems accessing Music Files in Slideshow module in LR 2.6 and Windows 7 64 bit

     Just got new computer 64 bit Windows 7. Installed LR 2.6 and am having problem with slideshow and music. Never had this problem before with my XP computer. When I open up slideshow module and go to Playback window and check soundtrack and try to choose a music folder, I have a new problem. It opens up "Browse for Files & Folders" dialog box as usual, but it only lets me browse on my desktop or my User name on the C drive. My music is in my F drive where my data is stored. I've never had a problem accessing my music in my F drive in my XP computer, but this setup limits where I can browse to. Interesetingly, this works OK in LR 3 beta on this WIndows 7 PC where it opens up a dialog box "Choose a music file to play" which gives me access to all my drives. In summary, I can't access music files stored on a drive other than my C drive using LR 2.6 on a Windows 7 64 bit computer.
     I have attached a screen shot to compare the new Windows 7 Browse for Files & Folders dialog box to that in my XP computer.
     Would appreciate any suggestions.
Thanks,
Matthew Kraus

Thanks for the reply. I went through the process you suggested to change Ownership & grant permission to access files. When I get to the owner tab in Advanced Security Settings....I am already the current owner of this folder.
What do I do now?
Thanks,

Using iPhoto slideshows with Apple TV

I am unable to get a slideshow I made in iPhoto 08 to sync to Apple TV. I imported it into iTunes, and it plays fine from there, but the menu pick to allow it to be formatted for Apple TV is grayed out. I would appreciate help in getting this to work.
Thanks -
Dudley Warner

Hello, I don't have any of those things, but...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Can Apple TV play wmv, ppt or view Photoshop Bridge slideshows?

I am considering purchasing Apple TV. I am hoping that I can replace the HDMI cable from my MacBook Pro to my HD TV with the Apple TV setup. Now I view wmv and ppt files playing on my MacBook on my HD TV and Adobe Bridge slideshows. That is in addition to NetFlix and movies.
My motivation to purchase Apple TV is to view MLB.com games on my HD TV which I can not reliably do when I choose the fill screen option in the MLB media player. If I do so do I would like to not have to use my present HDMI cable any longer.

No, it plays none of those formats.
