Using itunes playlist in slideshow

I need to use a playlist as background music in an iphoto slide show. We have edited each the start and stop of each song in itunes using "get info" but those edits don't apply when imported into iphoto. Is there a way to make this happen?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can use Quicktime as suggested or a 3rd party audio editor like Amadeus II. Garageband can do it although more difficult as I recall.

Problem using iTunes songs in slideshow

I am having a problem using a custom playlist from iTunes. I created a playlist in iTunes, pulled down the songs I wanted to include in the slideshow from the list and it worked. I tried to adjust the length of some songs by using the start and stop time on the Get Info Options tab in iTunes. That worked fine and the songs were shorter. Now that I have added a few more slides and want to adjust the length of the songs again iPhoto will not recognize the changes. Even though the start and stop boxes are no longer checked in iTunes, iPhoto still plays the shorter version of the song. I tried removing it from the custom playlist, I removed them from the iTunes playlist but nothing is working to get the song back to its original length. Can anyone offer any advice? I need to get this fixed before Saturday!

You might try creating a duplicate playlist in iTunes, "Second Try" and copy all the tracks from the first playlist to the second playlist. Now in iPhoto remove the original playlist and add the new playlist. If iPhoto thinks you are adding a different playlist, it may re-read all the tracks properly this time around.

Am trying to use iTunes playlists in Sonos

Sonos Tech Support found that the file location shown in the individual iTunes song's Info is not the same as the music folder location set in iTunes. The location in Info does not actually exist on my PC.

Try stopping iTunes Match and starting it again. It should be a lot faster this time round. It happened to me as well.

Can I use iTune to serve Midi music to a Midi device?

I have been using Quicktime player to send MIDI music to my digital piano. The problem is that I don't know how to set up a playlist on Quicktime. QT may not have such feature or perhaps I can switch to Microsoft's media player to use the playlist. IIRC, MP supports playlist.
I notice that iTune can take my MIDI files and it can playback the song via the computer speakers. It would be ideal to use iTune to organize my MIDI collection, only if I can use iTune to send the MIDI output to my digital piano.
Quicktime has a preference setting to pick the device for MIDI output. Does iTune has the same settings? I failed to find it.
I can play the MIDI to the digital piano, but no playlist.
I can play the MIDI using iTune playlist, but no piano.
I want both.
How do I solve this problem?

iTunes Match is not a backup service: FAQ: Why iTunes Match can NOT be used as a backup!
If you want to move personal data, in this case music, from an old computer to a new computer use the methods in this Apple KB article: <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US>.
Also, before selling the old computer you need to erase the HDD and put the original OS back on it, that came with the computer. Be sure you have all your personal data backed up and transfered to the new computer before doing this.

Using iTunes with multiple libraries/HD's

Hey guys,
I am running out of space on my Mac HD. Is it possible to create a secondary iTunes folder on an external hard drive to store my least used iTunes playlists/playlist folders and use my Mac HD to store my most frequented ones?
If this is possible, would it also be possible to plug into my external HD playlists and use them alongside my mac HD iTunes folders?
Many thanks,
j

Jeveland,
Welcome to Discussions,
Although iTunes only has one 'iTunes Music folder location', the music can be stored at any location and added to the library.
The 'iTunes Music folder location' is the location where iTunes stores ripped CDs and purchased music. It does not tell iTunes where your music is stored.
The locations of your songs are stored in the 'iTunes Library' file.
Read more about the library files here.
Uncheck 'Copy files to iTunes Music folder when adding to the library' in Preferences>Advanced>General. Then add your music to the library.
Hope this helps.

I cannot burn itunes playlist to a cd.

I tried several times to burn an audio CD using ITUNES playlist. It just hangs after initializing. I know it's not a hardware problem because I've burned CDs before using ITUNES. Please HELP. I am going insane.

Hello sisterluke,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
From your post I understand that you are trying to burn a playlist in iTunes to a disc. To do that, simply follow the directions below.
Create a CD or DVD
Create a playlist that contains the songs or files you want to burn to the CD; make sure the items you want to include have a checkmark beside them.
Insert a blank disc.
Select the playlist and choose File > Burn Playlist to Disc.
If Burn Playlist to Disc doesn’t appear in the menu, the playlist you selected can’t be burned to a CD because it contains items with usage restrictions (for example, a song your computer isn’t authorized to play).
Select a disc format.
If you’re creating an audio CD, choose your options:Change the recording speed:
Choose an option from the Preferred Speed pop-up menu.
When you burn an audio CD, iTunes automatically uses the best recording speed for the CD. However, if your blank CD is rated for a slower speed than the maximum speed of your drive, or if you experience problems creating CDs, you may want to change the recording speed to match the CD’s rating.
Change the amount of silence between songs:
Choose an option from the Gap Between Songs pop-up menu.
Have all the songs on the disc play at the same volume:
Select Use Sound Check.
Include information that disc players in some vehicles can display:
Select Include CD Text.
Click Burn.

ITunes Playlist for a slideshow?

Is it possible to combine songs in an iTunes playlist and use the playlist (containing more than one song/audio file) as the soundtrack to a slideshow in iDVD 5? If so, is it as easy as dragging the playlist icon to the audio button in the canvas?

Hi Walt:
Open GB and simply drag them to the track.
Export to iTunes
Open in iDVD.
Hope that makes sense!

I cannot change song order on playlist with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column( up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4.

I cannot change song order on playlists (old or new) with highlight and drag. I have turned off shuffle and highlighted the far left column (up/down arrow) of playlist. My mac pro is running 10.5.8 and am using itunes 10.4. I can't drag and drop "music" to "playlist" but can right click and get the option to "add to playlist." No such option for moving song within playlist, only the up and down arrow which moves song from top to bottom list, so if it is #4 from top it will move to #4 from bottom. Stupid I know. I spent over an hour with Apple support, reinstalled itunes, restarted and rebooted computer. Networked with my laptop which is running 10.6.8 and itunes 10.4 and it can drag and drop. The final Apple support solution was to reinstall my operating system. I would prefer not to. Any other ideas?

After looking at other people's posts, I think it's official: there is a bug. Itunes support said I should not have lost the drag/drop tool and I haven't on the laptop that is running itunes 10.4 and operating system 10.6.8. I chatted with someboby who lost both his drag/drop and side scroll and what we have in common is a wacom tablet for a mouse. My laptop is a wireless mouse. I reinstalled whatever updated driver that wacom has out there, shut the system down for night, hoping for magic, but alas none to be had. So if I want to change song order, I network the laptop and desktop, share the screen on the laptop, drag and drop to my heart's content and curse Apple for making me work this hard to find the tool that was once at my fingertips. Apple also let me know that if I want to share songs in household that the hundreds on songs that were purchased for .99 need to be repurchased for another .30. Maybe Apple is holding my drag/drop tool captive til I pay up the money or Maybe the next update will fix the problem, I for one give up for now.

HT1727 how do i transfer itunes playlists on my mac to a thumb drive to use in my car e in my car?

How do i transfer itunes playlists and/or individual songs onto a thumb drive on my apple desktop computer -- I want to play the songs in my car which requires the thumb drive. thanks

Easily done. Insert the flash drive into your computer, and open it so it looks like a folder. In iTunes, highlight the tracks you want (or use CTRL+A to highlight an entire list at once) and drag them into that open folder.
If you normally run iTunes in full-screen mode, make it smaller so that you can do the drag.
The only complication may be the format. Many iTunes users use AAC format, which is rejected by many car players. If that is an issue, you can first use iTunes to convert the songs to the more convenient MP3 format, by this guide:

How do I load a playlist onto my 4th gen shuffle using itunes 11?

I have a 4th generation shuffle, and just installed itunes 11.
It's ludicrous that the shuffle doesn't allow you to reorder your music (or in my case audiobooks) manually, or even to resort by album/disc/track #.
Even so, at least in iTunes 10 you could easily load a playlist onto it.
WIth the new iTunes, that process has become less obvious.
Is there a way to load a playlist onto the 4th generation shuffle using iTunes 11? Alternatively, is there a way to reorder the music on the shuffle manually or by sorting in iTunes? Is there some other trick to be able to list to my audiobook in order without renaming the 500 tracks it's divided into?
Note to Apple: This really shouldn't be that hard.

The "easiest" way to do this is to enable voiceover & sync your ipod to whichever playlist you want. When it's syncd, go to the summary tab & check Manually manage music, then apply & sync. After ejecting the ipod, turn it on. The songs will still be out of order, but press & hold the voiceover button. First it'll say "all music", then when it says the name of your playlist, release the voiceover button & press play. The songs should be in the order you want them to be.

My iPhone 4s will not sync a changed playlist from itunes unless i turn off music match. Shouldn't I be able to use a playlist and music match at the same time?

It's not entirely impossible actually as someone has pointed out to me that I can turn on Call Forwarding and that stops any incoming calls. I've just forwarded it to my google voice number and then turned on "do not disturb" in google voice and whenever I get a call it goes straight to my google voice voicemail and my phone does nothing. The only thing now is I still get text messages but I think the phone calls bugged me more because they would make my music turn off for much longer.
Even though this isn't a perfect solution it's something so far so maybe you shouldn't just come out and say there's NOTHING I can do because so far I've found part of a solution. If you don't have anyting productive to say then just don't reply and close the tab. Thanks.
At this point I'm wondering if anyone knows of any Jailbreak tweaks that can enable what I want. Unless of course it's agaisnt the rules of this forum to mention jailbreak stuff...

Try:
- Another cable
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I'm using iTunes Match now, can I no longer manage the music on my iPhone through a playlist on my computer in iTunes?

I used to pick and choose the music I wanted to take up the storage space on my iPhone through iTunes on my computer (note: not on my phone). Now that I use iTunes Match, the only way to delete songs seems to be to use my iPhone and swipe on whichever artists or songs I want to delete. Can I no longer use a playlist in iTunes to choose which music takes up the storage space? Let me know.. I still want to be able to play a song I haven't synched up to my phone through iTunes Match if I need to, though, so I don't want to just turn it off (plus I paid $25 for it...). Thanks!!

A few things:
1) By default, iTunes Match puts *nothing* on your iPhone. It just lists the songs that are in the cloud, and you can download them if you choose to. It seems like that's what you want, but you say you're not getting it. You don't have to delete everything you don't want. On the contrary: You have to download everything you do want. I'm confused.
Basically, my phone is already completely full (32GBs) of music and a few high def videos at the moment. I *want* about 24GBs of music on my phone right now. I *have* about 28 on there. It is nice to have that 24GBs of music on my phone because iTunes Match doesn't work perfectly - sometimes if I am driving, and I click play on a song I want to hear that isn't on my phone, it takes 20-40 seconds to start to play (with songs/mixes over 30 minutes, this can be several minutes). I want to keep a lot of songs on my phone, permanently, all the time, and choose songs to add to that permanent list as I choose/download them.
Maybe this will make it a little bit clearer, I realize this isn't the easiest thing to describe and I've had a few beers: I downloaded (by clicking play on my phone) songs I don't want to take up space on my phone. I clicked play on them, on my phone, while driving in my car. Heard that song once, now I don't want to hear it again for awhile, and I certainly don't want it taking up my precious space on my phone. Now imagine this situation times 100 or so.. that's 100 different songs (a few of them very long mixes) on my phone that I have to go in and manually delete by swiping. I want to do it from my computer.. it'd be way easier to find them and delete them.
Anyway, I think the answer is that there isn't a way to manage my music with iTunes Match enabled on my computer. No big deal, I guess, just suggesting there should be easier ways.
2) You actually don't need iTunes Match to redownload a song that you forgot to sync over, as long as it's a song you purchased in iTunes. Anyone (match subscriber or not) can redownload iTunes-purchased music, tv shows, apps, and books right from the device in the iTunes app.
I have never downloaded a song from iTunes, so this doesn't apply.
3) In your mind, what are the features of iTunes Match on the iPhone other than makin your entire library accessible for download from the cloud? As far as my logic takes me, if you want to manually control what's on it, you specifically don't want iTunes Match enabled, and I don't see any other reason you would want it enabled.
The only feature I am using iTunes Match for is to download music I haven't synced to my phone, onto my phone. I just want to be able to delete it later from my computer. I guess I want to be able to see the songs I have downloaded since the last sync so that I could easily delete those songs.. Yes, that would be a good solution.
