Unable to export slideshow in iPhoto

Iphoto exporting slideshow freezes. Slideshow plays in iphoto, but want to send to a few friends and unable to export. Followed the support faq guide and takes me through the process but when goes to 'export' nothing happens. Have waited 10-15 min thinking it is sizing photos and nothing.
thanks,
john

Reinstall the app.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
3. Re-install.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.

Exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full"

when exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" disc is full" It is a new mac with 2gb extra memory. I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc. Help, this is a student''s work and would love to help them burn the dvd slideshow.

IS this your Hard Disk is full?
OS X needs about 10 gigs of HD space to function normally. It uses this space for things like Virtual Memory and temporary files and other OS operations.

How did you do this? Did you empty the trash?

Unable to Export photos from iPhoto to iPhone

Hello! I'm a new first time iMac owner and have had some major difficulties with the syncing of my iPhone. Not the usual, "I'm a newbie user" stuff, but the kind of thing even the Apple support team had trouble diagnosing.
First, I was unable to sync music that had been exported via external hard drive from my PC to a Mac. The unusual part was that when I tried to sync it simply added the 15 g of music on top of the already existing 15 g on the phone. No go. Even add a few individual albums simply added them. Artwork wasn't coming over etc., as well. the finally simply restored my phone erasing everything. Well, that fixed the music problem but I now left with another, similar issue.
My photos which were imported to iPhoto in the first sync are not syncing to the phone. It appears that the photos are coming over according to the capacity decrease shown on the phone but no pictures show up on the phone. If I sync again it simply adds the amount to the phone again, and again, every time I sync just like the music was doing. If I take a picture with the phone it syncs fine, but if I sync 'all' photos it simply adds it to what it thinks is already on the phone.
Does this make sense? Any ideas?
I'd appreciate any assistance available out there, this is the last hurdle before I'm done messing around with installation and can get down to enjoying the new iMac.
Thanks,
Patrick

Yes... Give us some more details
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages? ANd give us the exact error message, please.
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Exported slideshow from iPhoto is blurry - HELP!!!

I've made a slideshow that I would like to share with my family but no matter what format I export it to the video is always blurry on their iphone or ipads or even computers. The slideshow looks great on my MAC and I've tried to change the settings to the iphone aspect as well as trying each of the three options for exporting. What am I doing wrong? How can I send this so the pictures are clear?

What aspect ratio are the photos in the slideshow? Have you tried cropping them to 3:2?

Unable to share slideshows in iPhoto, share option all greyed out except for email and iCloud

iPhoto version 9.6
OS X Yosemite 10.10.1
Completed a slideshow share 11/28 via iPhoto to Facebook
Created a new slideshow to upload to fb msg users however all fields in Share were greyed out except for email.

Please help as support is saying that is the way iPhoto now works
Thank You, Theresa

Export the slideshow and that makes a movie of it.

Unable to export Slideshow in A3

I'm trying to export a slideshow in A3. When I try a 720 or 1080 I get the following error message
The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -9459.) The mobileme, Youtube setting works.
Any Ideas?

A restart seemed to fix the issue for me - slideshows are now exporting okay.
However I also did a power management reset (remove the power cable from the back of your mac, press the power button for about ten seconds, plug it in again and turn on) so I can't say for certain if it was just the restart or the different type of restart (I was trying to fix my sleep issue as well)
I would just start with a reboot and see if it works.
However, another problem occurred - my "Apple TV" slide show wouldn't play on the Apple TV, I had to convert it in iTunes! It's possible the software update that Apple just put out fixes this but it seems a bit odd...

Unable to export photo in iphoto

Hi everyones,
I downloaded recently the app facebook exporter and since then when i open iphoto and try to export a photo in the menu bar.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Obviously you need to remove this exporter as it's not working with your version of iPhoto.
You can manage (disable and remove) plug-ins using the Get Info window. Select iPhoto in the Applications folder and go File > Get Info. A new window opens and you'll notice the plug-ins pane.

Mac OSX 10.5.8 Exporting Slideshows--My iPhoto is 8.1.2

I just want to find out if it's possible to export slide shows from this older app?

Choose About this Mac from the Apple menu and check the processor.
If it's a PowerPC Mac, it's already running the newest OS it can, and you'll need to buy a newer one. You don't necessarily need to buy a brand new Mac.
If it's a Core Duo Mac, click here, install the DVD, and run Software Update.
If it's a Core 2 Duo or better Mac, follow the Core Duo instructions, and if desired, open the Mac App Store, and try downloading 10.9. If you get told it's incompatible, go to the online Apple Store and order a download code for Lion 10.7.
Mac OS X 10.7 and newer don't support PowerPC software such as Microsoft Office 2004. If you upgrade the OS, back up the computer first.

IPhoto Slideshow unable to EXPORT to IDVD reports as error.

when exporting slideshow from iphoto to idvd /message says" error will not export files" It is a new mac with 2gb extra memory. I have cleared out all extraneous files, so there should be room on the disc. Help, this is a student''s work and would love to help them burn the dvd slideshow.

Patricia:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If there's another account on that Mac log into it and see if you can get iPhoto to export to iDVD. You may need to create a temp library there, import a few photos, etc.. If it does export successfully there may be some preference file in the primary account that is the culprit, other than iPhoto's. Here's how to check it out:
Trouble Shooting Preferences
Go to HD/Users/Your_name/Library. Move the Preferences folder (in its entirety) to the Desktop and make a second copy of it so you have Copy A and B. Now try the the process again and determine if problem is fixed.
If the problem IS fixed, then go to the new Prefs folder that the OS will have created and open it up.
Open Copy B on the Desktop and select all of the items inside. Drag them into the open new library folder. When the Copy window comes up check the Apply to All check box and then click on the Don't Replace button as seen here. That will keep the new files created and bring back all of the others.
If the problem is NOT fixed, trash the new Prefs folder and move the intact Copy A folder back to the Library folder .
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.

Exported slideshow from Iphoto11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine but show stops 1/2way through because DVD has 2 chapters. How do I eliminate chapters?

I exported slideshow from Iphoto 11 to IDVD 7.12 so I could burn DVD for play on DVD player. Fine, but then when playing on DVD player show stops about 12 way and starts over. Seems there are 2 chapters in show. I wan t show to play straight through until end. How do I elimiante chapters or solve problem. Thanks. Bob Low

Try this workflow:
Once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option. This will separate the encoding process from the burn process.
To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it. If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
Then burn to disk with Disk Utility or Toast at the slowest speed available (2x-4x) to assure the best burn quality. Always use top quality media: Verbatim, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
Play the disk image with DVD Player and see if you get the same start over half way thru.
Did you create the slideshow in iPhoto in the slideshow mode?
or were you in an album and then used the Share ➙ iDVD menu option? What I'm trying to find out is if the slideshow in iDVD is a movie file or an iDVD slideshow with the photos from iPhoto? If it's the latter how many photos in the slideshow?

OSStatus Error - 9459 while exporting slideshow from Aperture 3.0.1

While attempting to export a slideshow I get the message "Unable to Export Slideshow. The operation couldn't be completed. (OSStatus Error - 9459.)" This occurs when exporting to Apple TV or p720. Help please.

I received this error, when exporting the slideshow.
The slideshow took some time to export and the display on the Mac was set to sleep within the hour.
The display went to sleep and soon afterwards, I received the error.
If you have your display set to go to sleep then this could be one reason why you are receiving this error.
If not then I'm stumped for another answer.

I'm unable to export any slideshow from Iphoto 9.5.1?

After creating a slide show in the latest version of IPhoto with music attached, i am unable to export the slideshow as standard definition or high definition. The export progress bar pops up with a black screen but never moves or creates the show? Anyone have any ideas? I am on a Mac Pro on OS X 10.9.3.

Some folks have fixed this by reinstalling iPhoto:
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2. Download it from the App Store to reinstall It's on your Purchases List* there.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
