Streaming iPhoto'11 Slideshow to AppleTV

Hi,
a novice and real No Clue Master here - especially as I just switched from WIN7.
Well, I enjoy iPhoto'11 and the preset choice of slideshows.
Is there a way to stream it right away to Apple TV (2nd generation)?
Thanks to all who feedback (positively I hope

Export the slideshow from iPhoto, that makes a movie of it.
Do you want to use this DVD in a domestic DVD player? If so, then the disk will have to be 'authored' to make it the correct form for that. If you have iDVD then that's the app you use. However, iDVD is no longer developed or distributed by Apple. You may be able to get it on an old iLIfe install disk.
Other options:
Burn: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/21992/burn
Toast: http://macupdate.com/app/mac/6351/toast-titanium
But there are lots of others too. Search on the App Store or MacUpdate

How to stream iPhoto library to my AppleTV

I have a lot of photos on my computer that I would like to be able to see and show on my ATV, but I don't want to place the photos on the ATV's drive. I only have about 10 gig of photos, but I would like to reserve that drive space for movies.
I would like to be able to see the entire library so I can pick and choose which photos to show off and I would also like to utilize the screen saver feature of the ATV.
I have figured out how to see all the shared iTunes libraries in my house, but not the iPhoto.
Thanks again in advance,
Lauren

You can only stream photos from a secondary library, photos from the primary library must be synced.

IPhoto 09 Slideshows and AppleTV

Slideshows do not show up as they used to in AppleTV. They used to play with saved music and format. Now previously saved and new slideshows show up as a photo folder only on AppleTV. I see that you can export a slideshow as a movie and then play it that way, but why the change, it was so easy and smooth the other way?

I've been able to export the slide show as a Quicktime movie into iTunes (making sure you pick the format/quality compatible with AppleTV). From iTunes I make sure that movie is checked to be sync'ed to AppleTV).
Plays just fine that way.
Or is there another method you're trying?

When networking, iPhoto loses slideshow order and setting

I am airport streaming iPhoto slideshows from my iMac to my Macbook Pro. The shared folders show up on my Macbook Pro, seemingly in a completely random order irrespective of the order in my iMac iPhoto where my library is kept. I have a couple of dozen slideshows nested in category folders here, but none of the subfolders show up on the Macbook Pro, so that the slideshows are all lumped together in the root folder.
But the most annoying problem is that the slideshow settings I have carefully set up on my iMac - duration, KB effect, music etc - do not show up on my remote Macbook Pro! I have to reset everything, only to lose it next time I log on.
Am I missing something here, or is this a real show-stopper for using my Macbook Pro on my home network using Front Row in the living room?

The sharing feature does not recognise sub-folders.
You can't share slideshows, only the photos in them:
From the Help:
you can choose to share *the photos* in your library, albums, slideshows, books, calendars, and cards with up to five of those computers.
If you want to stream a slideshow you'll need to export it as a Quicktime Movie first (File -> Export)

Slideshow with AppleTV

Hello folks,
Is it possible to select more than one iPhoto event for a slideshow with AppleTV?
Thanks in advance Paulo

No, you'll need to select them one after the other or create an album in iPhoto combining the events. Albums and events are different things, so by doing this you can still keep 2 seperate events too.

IPhoto 11 slideshow mode decreases the image sharpness and quality

The images that weight over 5 MB and are fine and sharp become somewhat blured when displayed in the iPhoto '11 slideshow mode. The loss of image sharpness is just too big. The pictures look like they were made with a 100$ camera or even worse. I know the images are fine and big enough. I used picasa slideshow mode just to check. I saw a much better image quality and no noticable lose of sharpness.
Anyone has an idea why the iPhoto 11 slideshow mode looses so much image sharpness?

We all like iPhoto and its ease of use, good looks and fancy features.
However Aplle must concentrate on the core .... sufficient quality of the displayed images. The colors, sharpness, tones - the essence of photography
I understand that iPhoto is not the Aperture. But if the Slide Show mode virtually washes the sharpness away from the pictures than something is not right! Picture that is not sharp is worth the trash
If picasa slide show can do it I am sure iPhoto slide show can do it even better! We are waiting for the upgrade

Can anyone help me. Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."

Can anyone help me. I have iPhoto 9.2 and Mac OS X 10.7.2.
Every time I open iPhoto 9.2 and try to go to photo stream iPhoto quits unexpectedly. When I reopen I get "iPhoto has detected inconsistencies in your library. Please click Repair to avoid any potential problems."
I have read plenty of the posts on the subject and it seems that deleting the "3ivx" fixed the problem. I looked at the detaied reports and see where it says "
Library/Application Support/3ivx" etc..
On my report it says "/Library/Application Support/iLifeMediaBrowser/*/iLMBiPhoto8Plugin". Does this help with an answer?

I am also having this crashing problem. I am running lion on a 2010 mac mini. My iPhoto library is kept on an external drive. I just upgraded to iPhoto 11 and everytime I try to enable photo stream the app crashes. I have tried all the above suggestions, including re-installing iphoto from the Mac App store. Below are the first 50 lines of the error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Places theme in iPhoto '11 slideshow

Is it possible to change the scale of a map under the "places" theme in the iPhoto '11 slideshow?
On my slideshow the maps are too detailed and I want to be able to show a more zoomed out view.

I have the same problem... hope someone can answer

IPhoto album slideshow will not play in the manually sorted order.

iPhoto Album slideshow will not play in the manually sorted order.

Use a regular slideshow created by "File > New Slideshow". These will play manually sorted. The instant slideshows cannot be played in a manual sort order.

BUG: iPhoto 9 Slideshow - Text Slide Bugs and iPhoto Library Corruption

I was wondering if anyone else has run into the following issues:
I have had multiple issues with iPhoto crashing, stop responding, and database corruption where I cannot open iPhoto. These issues all began when I tried to use the new themed slideshow in iPhoto v9.1. Previously, I had only used iPhoto to create basic slideshows with iPhoto v7.x. I was hoping that I would be able to create my masterpiece in iPhoto 11 (v9.1) but I have only been frustrated by my attempts so far.
What should have been a 3 - 4 hour operation has become a 20 hour nightmare and I still don't have a slideshow to show for my efforts. This has been one of my most disappointing uses of Apple software ever.
Repeatable, reproducible bugs that I have run into include:
1. Deleting a photo that appears in the timeline before a sub-title causes havoc with subsequent sub-titles (a.k.a. Text Slides). Subsequent subtitles are randomly copied to pictures following the one it was assigned to. Further, there is no subtitle icon in the timeline and the photos have to be manually modified to eliminate the subtitle. Work around is click the "Text Slide" button
2. Zooming and/or image placement is not preserved and not visible when previewed, exported, or iPhoto is closed and then reopened.
3. The iPhoto Library becomes corrupt and permissions problems prevent me from working with my photos. This happens while working on slideshow. I have had to rebuild my library and repair permissions no less than five times since I started working on my slideshow.

iPhoto's slideshow feature is fine but no tool for a "masterpiece".
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Express $199
It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

IPhoto 9 Slideshow Quality

Hi
I have a MacBook Pro 13,3" with iLife 11 and Nikon Picture Project .
and I have many photos that were improted from a Nikon Camera.
When I see the photo in the slideshow mode in iPhoto the Photo does not have a good quality .
If I see the same Photo with Picture Project the result is better,I can see details that iPhoto can not show.
I dont use the export functions .
Is there a solution for this problem ?
Thanks

In iPhoto, when you play a slideshow it's showing you the actual photos.
After export , you're watching a movie made from these images. The process of exporting to a movie necessarily involves compression. Even HD export is still about 2 MP range. If you're shooting 6, 10, 12 or more MP images there is an inevitable loss of data. The enormous stills from your camera are being squeezed down into HDTV quality. It's even worse if you try export for a DVD. TV avoids this by not shooting such high quality images.
So, what you can try is use another app and one that has different algorithms for this process. Frankly, it'll be a process of trial and error to find the one that works best for your images.
Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
iMovie is on every Mac sold. It's worth a try, though it only has the same export options as iPhoto now. Older versions had more.
Others, in order of price:
PhotoPresenter $29
PhotoToMovie $49.95
PulpMotion $129
FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
Final Cut Pro X $299

IPhone video H.264 will not play in iPhoto '11 Slideshow

Hello,
        I use iPhoto to organize videos and .jpgs; I take videos both with a Sony camera and my iPhone. I often trim videos in iPhoto and then play them as part of a Event or Album, along with .jpgs, using the SlideShow feature before moving on to iMovie or Keynote. Recently I have encountered difficulties with iPhone H.264 videos, particularly in vertical format -- they simply won't play in the iPhoto simple SlideShow and lock it up (a simple X then ends the SlideShow and iPhoto is no longer locked). The vertical iPhone videos work in iMovie if I simply move them there. I have not detected any problems with the Sony videos, which are invariably horizontal. I am not experiencing any other iPhoto issues although my library is >125GB.
     Any Suggestions?
    Thanks for your thoughts.

léonie,
     @#$^$%^ Computers!
     After I realized I could not determine the frame rate (to respond to your post), out of frustration I went back, restored the most troublesome video to original, closed iPhoto, re-opened iPhoto, re-trimed the troublesome video, and .... yep, you guessed it .... it worked fine. It had to be something in the trim process.
     I haven't taken time to check the others that were problematic, but I'm confident that was the problem.
     @#% how much of my time; how much of your time.....but, still far better than the years I spent watching a rotating hourglass.
     Thanks for your interest, your offer to help, and my best to you. (And, my apologies for failing to include the accent grave in your name previously.

Unable to import IPhoto 6 slideshows to IDVD 6

When I try to send a SLIDESHOW with captions and music prepared in iPhoto 6 to IDVD to burn to a DVD by choosing Share>Send to IDVD i get the following message "An error occured while exporting the slideshow, the export movie file could not be created". This is inconsistent with the statement in iDVD Help Tutorial "In iPhoto send SLIDESHOWS directly to iDVD to create a project with slideshow buttons". What am I doing wrong?

you may be using a file format iDVD doesn't recognize (or you may have a corrupted image/file) hard to tell without seeing what you are currently working on. try the file again, or use a different image in it's place.
if this too fails then drag and drop the plist for both apps to the trash (empty it) and restart the computer.
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
com.apple.iDvd.plist
Use the Finder (happy face on the dock) plus copy and paste for the above items (individually) and hit return.
In the event you see either item appear more than once, dispose of all of them.
Good luck!

Iphoto 08 slideshow music not playing

After making a slideshow with iphoto I mixed some songs together using garageband, then exported the mixed songs to iTunes.
But when I choose that track in iTunes for my slideshow it doesn't play. I've tried a bunch of other songs they won't play either. I have done this before using iphoto 06 and didn't have any problems. But now with 08 I can't seem to get any music to play with my slideshow.
Which means no exporting to iDVD, no burning to a disk, no showing off to my friends.
Can anybody tell me what my problem is??

soulmanbdr529:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Are you able to get non-Garageband mixed playlists to work in iPhoto's slideshows? If so then there's something GB is doing to the joined tracks that iPhoto doesn't like. For that you'd probably get more informed responses in the Garageband forums.
Do you Twango?
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.

How do I launch my iPhoto photos slideshow?

How do I launch my iPhoto photos slideshow?

Details are necessary to get anything other than wild guesses
What version of iPhoto? Is OS X 10.5.4 as you state correct for your OS? what exactly is your problem - what is not working when you try to launch the slideshow?
