Why can't I select a Music Source - iPhoto 9.1.3?

I can't stand that awful jazzy piano accompaniment when I start a slideshow, but every time I try to change the music, ie here:
...I click on the arrows where it says "Source" & nothing happens. I've tried trashing the pref file, but it still resolutely refuses to show anything at all. I deselected "Play music during slideshow" because that jazzy piano was doing my head in!! Why can't I select some other music source?

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your Home()/  Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your Home()/ Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
3 - reboot and launch iPhoto to try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
If that doesn't help try deleting the com.apple.iApps.plist file from the same folder as the iPhoto preference file.

  • Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings?

    Why can't I select shuffle slide order in my settings. . . I see it there as an option, but it won't let me choose it.  I don't want to manually shuffle 329 slides!

    It's only available in slideshow that are generated from a album.  There you can select the Shuffle checkbox.  You can also save the settings for that specific album to be used on any set of photos that you might put in there.  Name the album something like Slideshow and reuse it.  Just remove the last batch of photos from it and add the new ones.  That will save you having to set all of the settings each time or just one setting like music.

  • Why can't I listen to music and read the ny times simultaneously?

    Why can't I listen to music and read simultaneously?

    hmm, well have you ever tried to run the music app in the bakground before? Double click the home button and bring up the music app. Select you music and you should hear it when you switch back to your NY times.app.
    You can do this. HOWEVER, never used the NY times app before. ****IF the NY times has streaming media capability, this would be why you can't listen to music simultaneously while reading.
    Not all news readers have the ability to allow music in the background.
    Hope this helps!

  • Why can't I simply drag music from my external hard drive to my ipod classic?

    Why can't I simply drag music from my external hard drive to my ipod classic using my mac?

    So after I get my music put on my computer, then moved to my ipod, do I have to delete music from itunes  to free up space?
    Not a good idea.
    What you could do, is have the Library content on the external hard drive and simply tell your iTunes programme to look on the hard drive for your music etc.. However, once you set that up, that hard drive needs to be connected and ready to read, before you start the iTunes programme. If it isn't ready, iTunes will simply go back to the default location for the music, find nothing and then you'll be back here saying that you've lost your Library.

  • Why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

    why can't I access my music after updating to iOS 5?

    Same problem here. After installing iOS 5, restoring, and syncing... when I clicked on the music icon on my iPad, none of my songs were there. All I saw was "download music from iTunes store." But, on iTunes, when I clicked on my iPad icon (then Music), it showed that all of my songs were synced!
    So, this is what worked for me, I rebooted my iPad.
    I turned off my iPad by holding down the sleep button for about 5 seconds, then the "Slide to power off" came up, and I powered off my iPad.
    Then, I started it up again, and clicked on the music icon on my iPad, and now all of my synced music showed up.
    I hope this helps some of you guys out there.

  • Why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    why can't I select preferred wifi networks

    I don't know how to block the other wireless access points to show on the list, but from what you said, you want to let it connect to one of your preferred network whenever one is available, connect it automatically.
    before you change anything, let run the following command in Terminal to show your Mac current settings:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort en1 prefs
    copy what it returned.
    mine returned:
    AirPort preferences for en1:
    DisconnectOnLogout=NO
    JoinMode=Preferred
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    RequireAdminIBSS=NO
    RequireAdminNetworkChange=YES
    RequireAdminPowerToggle=YES
    WoWEnabled=NO
    That's the default behaviour of OS X, we don't care for what reason it was changed on your Mac. Lets reset it.
    in Terminal, run the following command:
    sudo /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/air port en1 prefs JoinMode=Preferred JoinModeFallback=Prompt RememberRecentNetworks=YES
    it may ask you to put admin password, and do so, press enter to continue.
    Explain a little bit.
    The JoinMode=Preferred means, it will connect your preferred network when it's available.
    JoinModeFallback=Prompt: if no preferred network around, it will prompt you to choose. if you want you can select other options:
         JoinOpen
         KeepLooking
         DoNothing
    RememberRecentNetworks=YES: it will remember whatever network it joined before, put it in your preferred network. If you want, set it to No.
    you can get the details of airport command by run:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/Apple80211.framework/Versions/A/Resources/airp ort
    Hope this help.

  • Why can I not select SD versions of SD programs I purchased?

    Why can I not select SD versions of SD TV programs I purchased? When I go to my program to download it. I click the SD button, that is what I paid for. It will not move over to the SD version to allow me to download it even though I have received notification that I have a new program waiting.

    I found my own solution. While in the Itunes store I did a search for the program by name of the current season. It brought up a list of the current season and it showed that I had an undownloaded episode of the program. I hit the download ad it completed the SD download.

  • Why is select calendar and address book greyed out? Why can we not select these options?

    Why can we not select address books or calendars? Why is this option greyed out in ITunes 12?

    You have to make the selection active.
    Go to Select>all, then Select>modify>border.
    Another way is to use a stroke:
    Open your picture file
    Go to Select>all
    Open a blank layer above this
    Go to Edit>stroke(outline) selection. In the  dialog, enter the width of the stroke, choose color, place it inside, ok it.
    If you don't like the border, delete the layer with the stroke, and adjust to suit, then do it over starting with step #3
