Why can't I play my Album slideshow?

I recently upgraded to iPhoto '11 v9.5 on my new MacBook Pro laptop. Following the upgrade I can no longer play my complete slideshows that I created in "Albums"? Instead the initial photo is loaded and is then repeatedly loaded - the remainder of the photo's, which are clearly visible and in the correct sequence, are ignored? I didn't have this problem prior to the upgrade! How can I make all the photo's play when I select the "Slideshow" button? Very frustrating! Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
     User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
or with Lion, Mt. Lion or Mavericks delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto, reset its preferences and try again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    Do you have the latest Adobe Flash Player installed? If not then go to the Adobe site and download and install it.

  • HT204382 Why can't I play a .MOV movie on my apple (MacBook Pro)?

    My parents have been sending me little .MOV movies via email. But I can't play them on my MacBook Pro. I am however able to play them on my iPhone.
    Why can't I play it on my computer?
    This is the error msg I get: The document “IMG_0259.MOV” could not be opened. The movie is not in a format that QuickTime Player understands. You may need to install additional software to open this type of file.
    Many thanks,
    Mascha

    I have the same problem. I make a video on my iPhone and email it to my webmail, can't open it on the MacBookPro, but can on my phone from my webmail. On the MacBookPro, a screen opens that displays the "Q" from Quicktime with a question mark on it. That's all I get!
    Thought I didn't have quicktime, but since the computer comes with it and my updates are all up to date, it just doesn't make any sense. This has only started recently. The two videos in question are the longest (under 15 min but over 10) ones I've ever had. When I go to email them, it says they are too long but send them anyway.
    I am perplexed. I really want to be able to watch them (or I wouldn't have made them in the first place) and just can't figure out what to do!!

    I spent hours building a photo album for my parents only to find out that because my mac is earlier than 2007, even though I have 10.6.8, I can no longer order?! What is with that? This makes no sense. I can go online to various "photo shop" place and regardless of the OS and computer I am working from I can order a photo album so why can I no longer do this through iPhoto on my MAC?
    How do I order my album now? If somebody could please explain as I am going home in 1 month and really wanted to surprise my aging parents with this book.

    I found this:

    why can't i play .wmv file in quicktime even after i download codec from windows? can anyone help me wit this please!!!!!

    Have you done the obvious things to try to fix it: quit Quicktime then start it back up again, log out then back in, reboot.
    Edit: Just read one of your later posts. If VLC won't play it, this is unrelated to Quicktime and Flip4Mac. Are you sure these wmv files are okay?

  • Why can't I play Face Book games on iPad?

    Why can't I play Face Book games on my iPad?

    You can play many of them, at least the ones found in the App Store. Others you might be able to play by using one of the alternate browsers or apps out there that allow you to 'play' Flash games.
    You can't play them in the way you're used to because, well ..... pick from the following:
    You aren't using what you're used to using, and it doesn't do things the same way that you're used to doing them.
    FaceBook was created by children, for children, and uses Flash ... which does not exist on Apple mobile devices.

  • HT5409 why can't I play an MPEG4 movie on my mac

    Why can't I play a movie shared from my MacBookPro as an MPEG4 on my MacBook Air or my main Mac computer?

    Have you tried VLC ? This problem can be easily solved with VLC player. If it does not work, you may need to convert MPEG-4 video to H.264 MP4 for playback on your Mac. Good luck.

    Accidents happen, and apple can certainly assist you with replacement of said device.  Most manufacters would tell you to buy a brand new retail unit, apple will charge you about half price for a replacement unit.  I agree its unfortunate that it happend, but expecting a free replacement is just going to lead to disappointment

    I don't understand computers etc very well but had a suspicion that this was the problem I just needed to hear it from someone who knew what they were talking about.
