Why do iPhoto export slideshows have missing photos

Hello Everyone
I am trying to export slideshows so I can burn to DVD later using iDVD. But as i review my exported sideshow as a .mov file, it appears to have left out photos and is incomplete, it plays out the full music tracks but it simply is a white screen. Very dissapointing after waiting so long for the export to complete. This has occurred a few times.
Please Help
thanks

2 - iPhoto can export slideshows
3 - if you want help you need to actually provide information - like what does happen - what error messages - anything else - simply saying "it does not work is not enough to have anyone help you solve your specific problem

I try to open iphoto and it comes up with You have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. I have downloaded photo manager and it's telling me to update but it wont update...

iPhoto is Apple's included program to manage your photo's and pictures.
It receives updates over time with Software updates and new machine or iLife purchases.
When iPhoto gets updated or a newer version is used, it may alter iPhoto support files, but newer iPhoto versions usually always compatible with older files which it then updates.
If you used a newer iPhoto on your iPhoto support files, then they got altered to the newer format, older iPhoto versions can't read the older format.
Somewhere along the line you somehow got a older version of iPhoto on your computer, you need to fine the newer version of iPhoto (not this photo manager, sounds like another program)
Or somewhere along the line you used a newer iPhoto version (like on another Mac) and it altered the iPhoto support files on your older version of iPhoto.
So the key here is to find the newest version of iPhoto and use that to access your iPhoto support files.
If you didn't access your iPhoto support files from another Mac, then you should have the newer iPhoto version on your computer.
Once you find it, and get it in the Dock, you should remove the older iPhoto version from your computer to prevent this from happening again.
Lastly, if the newer version of iPhoto is somehow gone off your computer, you should be able to get a copy off the latest OS X install disk or iLife using a free program called Pacifist.

Then you need to check for updates for iPhoto in the program itself, the current version is 9.1.2

IDVD crash when iPhoto exports slideshow

My G5 1.8 Ghz crashes when iPhoto exports slideshow. Help!

Drag both these to the trash and restart your mac:
com.apple.iDvd.plist
com.apple.iPhoto.plist
Then Repair Permissions from apple's disc utilities.
Run apple's software updater but do not install just yet. Just post back and let us know if apple system pref / software updater sees any required updates. (Pay close attention to QT as well).
Hope this helps but if not come on back.

How to change the format of an iPhoto exported slideshow?

Some of my iPhoto exported slideshows are in MP4 format and others are in stamdard DVD fprmat (VOB).
How do I select the desired format for an export?

WHen you export a slideshow, note the Custom button lower left of the export window.
However, iPhoto will not export a VOB. That was created with some DVD software, not iPhoto.

Why won't iPhoto Export Slideshows in Mavericks?

After setting up a slideshow in iPhoto 9.5.1 running on a PowerMac with OS 10.9.5 (Mavericks), the app will not export the slideshow. Why not? How do I get a copy of iPhoto that works? Is Apple no longer supporting iPhoto? When and where will this be announced and what is the work-around suppose to be?

IPhoto - Exporting Slideshows - not happening

Im have a difficult time exporting slideshows to anywhere, no matter how many times I try, they don't end up in either my iTunes slideshow folder or my desktop, the 2 destinations I sent them to. Regardless of the resolution, 480p 720p or 1080p, it just won't work. I am running the latest Yosemite and iTunes programs. I had similar difficulties last time i tried just over a year ago. When exporting, there is an already ticked box saying 'send a copy to iTunes' however its not there...

Try reinstall 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.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
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.

How to make iPhoto export slideshow 16:9, 1280x720, widescreen?

I have seen previous posts (http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1281810&#1281810) also requesting instructions or work arounds on iPhoto's only options for exporting slideshows:
Small (240 x 180), Medium (320x240), Large (640x480)
I want to do a Ken Burns effect slideshow, and I have it all set up. I want to know if there is a way to edit/hack the only three options that the export dialog allows.
I know that if you go to the albums and use the advance options in the Quicktime tab, this works, sort of. Why? Becuase no animation, ken burns effect is applied. It only makes the crop, and the transition, but not the motion of the Ken Burn Effect. This would be great way to save a lot of time. I have FCP, but it will take me a lot of time to compose an animation Ken Burns style with output for 1280x720 (HD).
Any help will be appreciated. If the work around involves Quartz Composer, that's okay, just tell me the script or steps.... I really need help with this.

It would be great if there was an option on a .plist kind of document where you could modify this. I would hope this would be just like a pass through to QT, so there has to ba a way

Why is my Aperture contact sheet missing photos?

I have 437 photos selected. I choose Print>Contact Sheets. I choose 4 rows/6 columns. But no matter what I do, Aperture will only load 16 images per page. The next page will also have 16 images. I have tweaked the number of columns and rows but this does not fix it. Any ideas?

What are your settings for Row Spacing, Column Spacing, and Margins?
Do you have anything set to show in the Metadata & Page Options section?
Are you waiting long enough for the print preview to generate the page previews? It can take a minute or longer.

Why is iphoto having trouble with rotating photos all of a sudden?

i've been using iphoto for a few years. suddenly it un-rotated all of my auto-rotated photos (which screwed up all of my face tags) and now when i upload new photos, if they auto-rotate during the upload they appear in the preview of a whole event, but if i double-click to see a vertical photo, or try to do a slideshow, i get the triangle with an exclamation point in it, indicating that something's wrong with the file. is anyone else having this trouble? or have any idea what to do?
thanks...

I've never used the Flickr feature so don't know if that as any bearing on the problem. if you're satisfied with the newly "fixed" library you can delete the copy of the original library that you made.
However, since you're having problems with rotated photos you might try this and see if the new library has the rotated photos displayed correctly:
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
If the rotated photos display correctly in this new library then the problem lies with the orther libraries being damages somehow. You may want to stay with the new library even though the projects, i.e. books, etc. and keywords are lost.
If you have a lot of keywords in your current library and want to move them to the new library you can by doing this:
1 - open the old library and select one photo.
2 - type Command+K to brinb up the keyword pane.
3 - click on all of the keywords that are not blue so that all of the keywords are blue.
4 - export that photo to the Desktop via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu option. Select Kind=JPEG and check the two check boxes regarding keywords, locations, etc.
5 - open the new library with iPhoto and import the exported photo from the Desktop. That will bring in all of the keywords so that you don't have to recereate them one by one in the new library.

IPhoto library slideshow - to iDVD photo quality

Hi,
i'm new to Mac computers, just got my first one - and I've created a photo slide show with iPhoto and exported/burned it with iDVD with my own menu and everything and all went well, except the photo quality is AWFUL. The pictures are jagged and not as sharp as they appear in iPhoto. I checked and watched the mpeg file it created in order for it to go to iDVD, and that was great - is it the Mpeg2 encoding that is ruining the quality?
I tried creating it in iMovie and it's the same thing.

I am trying to create a project for a client. It is a slideshow with music. Seems simple??? NOPE!
I thought to use imovie and burn it to a CD, but am I crazy?
I have questions and need answers please!
-best program to make a slideshow in with about 150 CD's able to burn onto CDR with music
-have to be compatable with both mac and pc's
-and every time I am importing good quality pictures into imovie they look like crap. pixels gallore and cant seem to make it better.
freaking out a bit, have a deadline...
please help!!!!

Why does iPhoto keep copies of deleted photos?

I recently purchased Photoshop Elements 10. When I imported photos from iPhoto (about 15,000 images) into the PSE organizer, it imported a large number of photos that I had deleted from iPhoto, in some cases months ago. When I searched in the iPhoto library, sure enough, there were saved masters of all the photos I had thought gone forever.
I understand perfectly well why iPhoto keeps masters of all the photos in the library, so that edits can be reverted etc. That's not my question. I want to know why it keeps masters of photos I deleted? I deleted those pictures for a reason, and I wasn't happy when Photoshop imported all the old blurry shots, headless subjects and duplicates that I thought were long gone.
Is there any safe way to make iPhoto delete photos for real, as in no longer stored anywhere on the hard drive? Would rebuilding the library do that?
Yes, I emptied the iPhoto trash bin.
No, I've never altered anything in the iPhoto library using Finder, and am very reluctant to allow any third-party software to do so. Heard too many horror stories.
I'm currently using iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1, if it matters, but some of these deleted photos have been carried along through at least one major iPhoto update.
Any help would be appreciated.

iPhoto 11 requires that you empty the iPhoto trash and the System Trash as well.
Other than that, this would be a symptom of a damaged database. Assuming this to be the case:
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

IPhoto: Exported slideshow only uses one song of two, in a loop.

I am creating a slideshow with 2 songs. I went to file>export and chose Quicktime. however, it is only playing the 1st song that I have chosen. Over and over again!!! In iphoto it'll play both songs. I have both songs selected in the settings. Help please??? I've exported before where both songs would work. I compared my settings to that slideshow and I don't see anything missing.
I'm using ilife '09
Screenshots of my settings:

Thanks!!

You might do better - and will certainly get better quality - to use the Slideshow exports settings in iPhoto 09.

IPhoto 6 solution to missing photos in edit/book view when thumbnail shows

Hi all, since this seems to be quite wide spread with iPhoto 6 users, I thought I'd make sure that you all get the solution that seems to work for the following:
Problem: iPhoto 6 does not open your photo for editting but you can still see it's thumbnail, or the photo is not shown in a book but it does show its thumbnail.
Cause: at this stage, I don't know for certain but I have a feeling it is to do with other applications changing the default opening app for images (perhaps Adobe software).
Solution:
1) In Finder, click File, New Smart folder and set the following options:
Folder 'iPhoto Library', Kind: Images, Size: Greater than 100KB
2) Then, when search has found all your images, select them all and press the 'Get Info' button.
3) Select 'Open with' and change it to 'Preview'. This may take a while if you have a lot of photos but let it finish.
4) Then click 'Change All...' and select yes.
That's it. Now open iPhoto and it should all work ok.(hopefully!).

I did that a couple of days ago. But after I while the problem re-appeared. I used Photoshop for editing, so probably that is one of the issues.
So after several times of trying this solution, I decided to go the hard way and export the corrupted files to the desktops, delete them from iphoto, and re-import them back. That seems to do the job...Frustrating, I know, but so far effective

IPhoto exports small number of photos to desktop or thunbdrive. I'm unable to transfer a 360-photo album to thumbdrive so I tried fixes listed in other iPhoto SC letters. I batch organized album files w/ seq. numbering. Works for small number files.

What are the details about your computer and OS?

Hi TD,
I tried what you suggested on photos that were not exported in my previous attempts. I found all orginal photo files within the folders that were associated with the specific days when the photos was taken. That iPhoto action seems to work. I had not previously tried that iPhoto command so learned something new.
Do you have any other ideas of what to try? Worse comes to worse, I could export 26 seperate folders of Exports from my iPhoto album on my hard drive and separately put them onto the thumb drive. But, as you know, we have to BEAT the Apple software and computer. I know that it becomes somewhat of an obsession.
Have a good day.
