Slideshow theme music

How can I turn off the music assigned to slideshow themes. I would like to have no music in any slideshow theme unless I select it. Can I do this?
Thank you.

On an individual basis I know this works but once you try another theme, the music associated with that new theme starts. Yes, I know I can uncheck each time but I do alot of these for various people and this minor annoyance is becoming most irritating. They change the theme of the slideshow they originally chose but never their selected music.
I would like to be able to go into the library guts of the Mac and flip the switch on the theme music altogether. No one I deal with has ever choosen the default music?
I'm sorry. My original question should have been
"How can I permanently turn off the music assigned to slideshow themes."
Thank you.

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

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

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?

HOW DO I USE DEFAULT THEME MUSIC & SAVING

Hello from Italy. My question does concern the default theme music for the travel theme. I realize this is a bit off subject but I am new to this board and can't figure out how to enter a new topic. Perhaps you can help me. I actually would like use that default theme music on my first iDVD. It fits. Can I do that? If so, how? Do I need to save it in iTunes? If so, how can I do that? The other problem I have is that when I try to burn a DVD my eMac goes through the entire process and in the end indicates a "multiplexing problem" so I do not get a DVD. Is there a simple way to save all my work whether or not I actually burn the DVD right now? Right now I lose it all when I shut down for the night. Grazie mille.
eMac G4 Mac OS X (10.4.5)

I'm assuming that you want the theme music for your slideshoww too, correct?
You can find most of the theme elements inside the theme files. They are in /Library/Application Support/iDVD/Themes
Control-click on one of these files and choose "Show Package Contents" Then keep looking inside those folders to find sound files. In the iDVD6 "travel" theme, I think the sound is "TravelAudio.m4a" Darg this into iTunes for use in other iLife projects.
The other problem I have is that when I try to burn a DVD my eMac goes through the entire process and in the end indicates a "multiplexing problem" so I do not get a DVD.
1) Try to have at least 20GB of free space on your startup drive.
2) Check your audio settings on the DV tape you used. iDVD needs 16 bit (not 12 bit) audio. Or go go back to iMovie and "extract audio" whcih moves the audio from the video onto a separate track.
3) Check your chapter markers (CMs) in iMovie - no CM at the beginning, iDVD will add one for you. no CMs within 2 secs of each other or transitions.
4) Try a different theme - they can be "corrupted" and cause problems.
5) Fonts - try going to "Font Book" in your applications folder, and resolve duplicate fonts.
Tell us more about your project - how long, how did you make the movies slideshows, etc. Have you ever used iDVD before successfully?

Can I drop an IMovie Slideshow with music into IDVD?

Hello,
I created (and it took a long time) a slideshow with music using IMovie. Now I want to burn it to a DVD and am realizing I need to put it into IDVD. I saved it to my desktop and then dropped it into the IDVD Magic program but it does not save the slideshow. Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it. I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page. Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Or if it does, I can't seem to figure out how to play it.
Click on the "Preview" button in the bottom left corner of the iDVD window. For more details go to iDVD Help: >_Making a Magic iDVD_
I also can't figure out how to choose the picture for the IDVD theme page.
Once you have added your slideshowGo to Help: _Adding images and movies to drop zones_
Any help with how to burn my IMovie slideshow on a DVD using either IDVD or some other way, would be greatly appreciated.
I am not familiar with the workings Magic DVD, but if you have already created the slideshow, it might be just as easy to follow the regular route in making this project. If you wish to try this, follow these steps.
1. Open iDVD, select to create a new project, and name it.
2. Select the theme.
3. Import your slideshow into iDVD. Go to your movies folder (or wherever your project is saved), and drag the iMovie icon (the one with the star) to the window of your iDVD project. Avoid drop zones.
4. You can add photos to the drop zones by clicking on the "Media" Button in the bottom right corner, and then on "Photos". Just drag and drop the photos to their desired location.
5. Preview by clicking on the triangle at the bottom of the window.
6. When you are ready to burn, first go to File>Save as disk image. This will allow you to have a final check of your project before burning to DVD. You can see how this project will actually play when played on a regular DVD player. If everything is fine, you can then burn the DVD using Disk Utility.
I hope this helps.

Slide show only plays Theme Music

Using iPhoto 9.5.1 and Mavericks 10.9.4
I made a new slide show and after selecting it and clicking on Music, I have clicked the check box for Play Music during Slideshow.
Theme music plays perfectly. I can see my iTunes library and select music, but when I select my own music and hit Choose, it either (1) stays on themed music or (2) is silent. In fact once it is silent, I have to change the Theme in order to get even the Themed music to play.
I would REALLY appreciate some help with this. It is very frustrating!
Dave

Try choosing the "Custom Playlist' option and drag the audio track into it. See if that will link that audio track to the slideshow.
Is this a slideshow from an album or from the slideshow mode?

Creating a Simple Slideshow w music as a movie for a web page.

Hi all,
I would like to create a simple slideshow with music saved as a mp4 movie for a web page. I'd like to use basic transitions like crossfades between the pictures and other fun stuff
A few questions:
1 - Would I be better of creating this in iPhoto or iMovie or Keynote?
2 - Any hints in getting started?
note: I guess I'll post this on iPhoto area also...

You are probably better off in iMovie. You will have a lot more control. With iPhoto, as far as I know, all slides would have to be the same length, and you would need to pick music from iPhoto. With iMovie, you can customize slide length, make them change on the beat, use your own music, etc.
I would use Keynote only if you want to include text and bullets where the photo is only part of the slide.

Where is iPhoto theme music located

I am running LION with all items updated. I did install and earlier version of iDVD (v7.1.2). I am trying to find the location of 'THEME MUSIC' from the Slideshow creator in iPhoto. I've searched under all the keywords I can think of, but all the responses lead me the location of the included 'SAMPLE MUSIC', not the THEME. When I go to add music to a slideshow, I am given 4 sources of music:
SAMPLE MUSIC (has a simple folder shown with a listing of songs located in app>content>music
THEME MUSIC (shown with what looks like an old 35mm slide box) This also has a series of songs that will play
GARAGE BAND (has a guitar icon but is empty in my case)
ITUNES (with normal iTunes icon and has all my iTunes music listed)
I search the song names & artist names listed under THEME MUSIC but nothing shows.
Can anyone help with the location of this THEME MUSIC folder/list/database????

It's located here:
The files are .m4a files.

Theme Music Does Not Play

I have created a slideshow using one of the themes. I have added music to the slideshow using music from my iTunes. The iTunes library is on my Macbook drive but the music files are stored on an external drive. If I close iPhoto and reopen it, the slideshow will play but the music will not play. If I re-add the same song from iTunes, it will not play it. It will play any other song but not the one that was the original. If I copy the song file from the external drive to the main drive and add it to the slideshow it will play the song. It will also play the song if I close iPhoto and reopen it and try to play it. It seems like when I close iPhoto is loses the path to the music file but it won't let me re-establish it. Any thoughts on how to solve this problem?
ITunes 8.2.1
IPhoto 09 8.0.4

Do you haveownership set to be ignored on the external HD? Also you might find that file and check it's ownership and permissions.

Slideshow with music keeps stalling

My Aperture slideshow with music keeps stalling in various places.

It's relatively easy if you're prepared to spend the time doing it.
• First, forget about the slideshow option. Instead, open up an iMovie project and import your slides into it (ensure you're first set to NTSC for the US of A). Use the Ken Burns effect if you want. Also, add transitions between slides. Unlike the slideshow, you can use different transitions for each slide if your tastes run to it. Don't forget to set the required time for each slide.
• Add your music track(s)
• Now, using something like Audacity (it's free), record your voice over tracks (one per slide) for each slide (you do have a microphone/iSight don't you?). Set Audacity to 48,000 Hz by the way. Trim the tracks, or select the appropriate part. Export the trimmed tracks or the selection as AIFF files to a folder.
• Import the AIFF files into itunes, and use from there, or open the AIFF folder into the media/audio window, or simply drag & drop them. Place them into the middle track in iMovie. Arrange each voiceover to it's appropriate slide.
• Dampen the music during each voiceover, or for the whole show.
• Export to iDVD, burn as disk image.
• If you really, really want to have the voiceovers as a choice, export a Quicktime movie WITHOUT the voiceovers (untick them via the box alongside the right of the track), and then export again WITH the voiceovers (different name of course). Import the two movies into a suitable iDVD menu, with a button for each.

Slideshow with music I would like to add bonus commentar

Hi, I created exported a quicktime slideshow with music from iPhoto and imported it into iDVD. What would be a way to add the option to the dvd to listen to audio commentary about the slideshow. I imagine this would work like a regular film dvd where the bonus features section has an option to turn on
"director commentary" Any ideas? THANKS

What slideshow with music maker program will run on Mac Powerbook G4?

What slideshow with music maker program will install and run on my Mac Powerbook G4 1.5.8 1.33 GHz OSX laptop? Or are there any out there, I know my system is old but it's all I got for now.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto, iMovie or iDVD and some limit the number of photos you can use (iDVD has a 99 chapter (slide) limitation).
If what you want is what I want, namely to be able to use high resolution photos (even 300 dpi tiff files), to pan and zoom individual photos, use a variety of transitions, to add and edit music or commentary, place text exactly where you want it, and to end up with a DVD that looks good on both your Mac and a TV - in other words end up with and end result that does not look like an old fashioned slide show from a projector - you may be interested in how I do it. You don't have to do it my way, but the following may be food for thought!
Firstly you need proper software to assemble the photos, decide on the duration of each, the transitions you want to use, and how to pan and zoom individual photos where required, and add proper titles. For this I use Photo to Movie. You can read about what it can do on their website:
http://www.lqgraphics.com/software/phototomovie.php
(Other users here use the alternative FotoMagico: http://www.boinx.com/fotomagico/homevspro/ which you may prefer - I have no experience with it.)
Neither of these are freeware, but are worth the investment if you are going to do a lot of slide shows. Read about them in detail, then decide which one you feel is best suited to your needs.
Once you have timed and arranged and manipulated the photos to your liking in Photo to Movie, it exports the file to iMovie as a DV stream. You can add music in Photo to Movie, but I prefer doing this in iMovie where it is easier to edit. You can now further edit the slide show in iMovie just as you would a movie, including adding other video clips, then send it to iDVD 7, or Toast, for burning.
You will be pleasantly surprised at how professional the results can be!
To simply create a slide show in iDVD 7 onwards from images in iPhoto or stored in other places on your hard disk or a connected server, look here:

All above suggestions will work on a PPC Mac running Leopard.

IPhoto problems with Snapshot Slideshow theme

I am having difficulty with making a slideshow fit my music.
I have created sample slideshows, with 45 pics, and have chosen music, around 5 mins in length. When I select fit slideshow to music, the prompt says that I must delete pics or choose at least 4 min 59 secs worth of music.
Any idea how to fix this?

This will sound strange, but may work.
Build your slideshow
Choose theme: Snapshot
Choose music you want played
Choose Settings, LEAVE Show Title checked. Choose Fit to music.
If you decide to uncheck title, do it at the very end.
I found this process solved the problem.

Lost All Aperture Slideshow Themes

I lost all my Aperture slideshow themes after upgrading to iLife '11. At first everything worked fine and I was able to access the existing and new slideshow themes in Aperture from the new iPhoto '11 upgrade (as advertised). Then it all broke. Now I have no slideshow themes (or functionality) in either Aperture or in iPhoto for that matter. I'm not sure the exact moment that this all happened but just noticed it when trying to edit a few existing slideshows. The structure and music is all there but the slideshows are blank because there are no themes at all, just blank. I repaired permissions and checked file structures, did routine maintenance. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Success!
I'm documenting this in case anyone else encounters the same problem. There are three files that can be found in HD>Library>Application Support. These files are: iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, and iLifeSlideshow. They somehow got corrupted in the upgrade process to Aperture 3.1 and/or iLife '11. The thing is that trashing the corrupted files in hopes that a clean reinstall will rebuild them does NOT WORK. It simply makes shared media unavailable to any of the apps. I had to restore the files from Time Machine from a previous state.
This took an entire day of troubleshooting to figure out. I hope this helps avoid this for anyone else.
