I cannot import a Quicktime file (.mov) which I generated from a slide show out of iPhoto8 in iMovie8 (filename is grey); what did I wrong?

iMovie 08 will only import files that contain codecs that it can edit. It will generally import audio and video codecs that iPhoto generates. However, if your iPhoto slideshow contains a manual advance track, iMovie cannot edit this and therefore will not import. In iPhoto, check to see if you can do a timed advance rather than a manual advance. Then it should import.

Why can't I add audio to my slide show from my itunes in elements 11?

I am trying to make a slide show using my newly purchased photoshop elements 11 and I cannot get it to add any audio. It does not recognize any of my files. I know there must be a way to do this but cannot figure it out.

Not copy protection unless these are very old purchases that you never updated. First try eliminating the album artwork, which often solves this.

How to make slide show out of photos

I have about 60 .jpg's I like to make into a slide presentation. What I would like to be able to do is give a friend/relative a disk and all they would have to do it....well, nothing. I'd like it to open on my image number 1. I would like the image to stay on the screen until it's manually advanced by "clicking" on it or on and "advance" button. It seems like it should probably be easy, but I can't figure it out. I'm not adverse to using third party software. I want the images to be as clear as possible. Am using OS X Maverick with 32 GB of ram.
Thanks in advance.

There are many ways to produce slide shows using iPhoto (see this: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2423 ), 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!

Slide show out of Finder, pictures in disorder

"hey, let's what the pictures on your big iMac screen!",
and so we attached the USB sticks filled with pictures from a PC notebook: the files appear, the "ICON-Preview" was perfect, just to press <apple-A> and start the slide show from the finder window! Oops! The slide show didn't follow the the correct order by the file name. Pretty messy because 3 events were mixed.
Later on I copied all files on the Mac HD and tried again, but same result. I found a "workaround" (I hate workarounds!!): When I started from the Finder-Window-MultipleColum-Mode then the slide show followed the selected by-file order.
Anything else I missed or I can do better?

Your use of Column View is the only solution I've seen for this problem.
I use the freeware Mike’s Thumbnailer @ http://homepage.mac.com/mdewalt/iWeb/Site/Home.html for slide shows. It also has a feature where you can add music to the slide show.

How do I post a slide show (from iPhoto 11) with music to Facebook from my mac

How do I post a slide show to facebook, from my imac. I am using it was made on iphoto 11 but I cannot figure out how to post or publish to post link. I also have slide show saved in itunes Thank you for your help

Export the slideshow from iPhoto
Then upload it to Facebook via their own uploader.

Making long background slide show

I have a need for a long background "show". Specifically, 7 CD's worth of mood music (think yoga) with nature shots. Prefer burning to play in DVD player, but realize it maybe too much music for a DVD, so a slide show running with iTunes playlist in background is possible but using laptop is not optimal.
The challenge is that I only need a few photos (they will repeat) but lots of songs. Is there a way to create a slide show (or movie) several hours long that is playable on DVD player?
SLYmac

Thanks so far. I think I am almost there.
ok so I selected a bunch of photos in iPhoto, clicked "slideshow" and then "send to DVD".
iDVD opened up and now what? it opened up to a generic project "My Great DVD" which i renamed, but not being a veteran of iLife, I am not sure what is next. Do I add anything? This is a simple background slideshow to put into a DVD player and let it go and go until removed. I did not care for a polished menu structure. In fact I was hoping for a "stick it in the player and auto start" product.

Storing TV Shows Downloaded from iTunes on External Drive?

My HP has about 137 GB of storage available and I am now using almost 130 GB. 60 GB is for several TV shows and movies I have downloaded. (Entire 1st year of Six Feet Under, West Wing and Mad Men plus Godfather, Animal House, etc.)
What I want to do is store these items on an external drive and access them only when needed. The saving to the external drive went well, but now I have three questions:
1. How do I take the TV Shows out of iTunes/my hard drive to free up space?
2. I have an iPod Touch and iPhone for my wife. How do I sync these machines so that some or all of a series of TV shows is captured on the devices? (I intend to leave my music in the iTunes library as well as photos etc., if possible to do so and still sync.)
3. I accidentally deleted several episodes of a program from my iTunes library -- is it possible to get these back without buying them a second time?
Thanks in advance
Kerry

1) Hey there, I think the best way for your case is to use 2 separate itunes libraries.
One for TV/movies and a second for music/podcasts/etc.
So use this article to create a new itunes library _on your exHD_ - meaning, the actual ITL file you create _is on the exHD with movies_. Post back if you do not understand this important part. Otherwise you are going to have a big mixup of library files on your C: drive, I think.
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesWin/8.0/en/15502.html
It will show up as a blank library, and then you just drag the movie/TV folders over to it fro WIndows Explorer.
Once you are sure that new library is working OK, you can delete them from your original itunes library. In itunes just highlight them, and press delete.
Don't delete them from your actual C: hard drive until you have made sure everything is OK!
And you might consider burning them to a DVD data disk - it's risky having one copy of purchases.
Even exHDs can fail.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. Help?

I'm trying to download some purchased TV shows to my iPad Air. I keep getting the dreaded Download Error Tap to Retry Message. I've signed out of iTunes and back in. I've updated my software. I have plenty of room for them on the Air. We are taking a long flight this week, and I wanted to have something new to watch. I've read through lots of threads on this but I can't seem to find a good solution that I haven't tried.
If I can get them to download them on my iMac computer, can I then transfer them to my iPad? How is this done? (Please pardon an older lady's ignorance, and thank you for any assistance!)

I made a Keynote Slide show completely on my iPhone.....300 slides. Turned out great! However, I went to "save it to iTunes"....but I cannot find it. Where does it go? I can't figure it out.....thanks!

Dock your phone....locate it on the left in iTunes....hit the 'Apps' tab on the right, then scroll down to the 'File Sharing' section below...

Adding music from iTunes to a slide show in iPhoto

Why can't I seem to add music from iTunes to a slide show in iPhoto?

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

AppleTV: How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming from my iTunes?

How can I see what song is playing if I am viewing my photos in slide show mode on Apple TV and streaming music from my iTunes?
Thanks.

Thank you Winston. I guess we need to ask that this feature gets added at least as an option in an upcoming release. When someone is using shuffle, it helps to know what is playing while viewing pictures.
Where is my Apple request button when one needs it ? :-) Cheers, C

First see if placing the iPod in Recovery Mode will allow a restore.
Next try DFU mode and restore.

If not successful then time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. You are not alone with this problem.

ITunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide-show mode?

I am using iTunes 8.1 (50) and have just noticed that the iTunes classic visualizer no longer works in slide show mode, which means that it just keeps the same colors and patterns without changing automatically, like it used to do. I can press "R" on the keyboard, which loads a new random collection of settings but again it just keeps them without changing. I tried also pressing "D" to go to default settings, but it did not help. Anybody else having this problem? Any ideas for a fix?

Good to know it's not just me. Sure, the old visualizer is anything but a vital feature, but still it's cool to get some variety sometimes so I hope there comes a fix for it.
