Why is iPhoto unresponsive when I attempt to create a slide show?

Should I reinstall iPhoto because it won't allow me to make any more slide shows?  If I do, will I lose all my photos?

With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
what version of iPhoto are you using?
what system version are you running?
what happens when you try to create a new slideshow? Any messages?
what fixes have you tried?
where is your library located?
did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?
what type of Mac?
how much free space on your boot drive?

  • PSE 8 organizer crashes when I try to create a slide show

    I'm running Win7 ultimate 64 on my core i7 machine, with a radeon 5850 graphics card.  When I'm in PSE8 organizer and I try to create a slide show, the program crashes immediately.  PSE8 seems to function normally and I haven't had issues yet with editing photos with any of the tools.  Any ideas for a fix?

    I've got the same problem. I have just bought a Windows 7 PC with an i7 processor and 8Gb RAM. This wasn't an issue with my previous PC running Windows XP and PSE 6 so I thought it was down to PSE 6 and Windows 7 being somehow incompatible. I therefore downloaded a trial of PSE 8 but this also crashes every time I try to create a slide show.
    I have uninstalled Intervideo WinDVD as recommended by John's link and followed the other instructions as well but this bug doesn't seem to go away.
    However a workaround for me is that I can open previous slide shows (created under Windows XP and PSE 6), edit them and save as a new project. The slide show function is still very very unstable however and I have to save after each single successful action. It seems to crash at random but mostly when I try to insert any music into a project. It can be very frustrating and time-consuming for something that should be a very simple task for a grown-up, expensive program.
    Anybody got any other ideas? Of course I've reported this to Adobe but I'm not expecting a reply (I've never had one so far so why should they change?).

  • After updating to  Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

    After updating to  Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list. But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

    Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

  • Why does iphoto open when i plug in my iphone instead of itunes?

    Why does iphoto open when I plug my phone into computer?  I thought itunes was supposed to open and it wont.

    Becasue you have not set your preferences in itunes to open when a device is connected and you have set iphoto to open when a digital camera is connected.

  • I just installed iPhone 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and and shows the whole group of pictures at once. I have done many slideshows with older versions of iPhoto. How can I fix this?

    I just installed iPhoto from the iLife 11 and when I try to play a slide show, it just blinks and shows a whole bunch of pictures at once. I have done many slide shows with no problem in an earlier version of iPhoto. What can I do to fix this?

    thats tough man, yeah exchanging it is the best option. But why do people always leave a message saying" i'll probably just by an ipod" and it's usually followed by, "even though i don't like apple or ipod" . I mean fine, if u feel like giving up on the zen micro thats fine, i personally don't care if you're going to buy an ipod. for god sakes ipod isn't even the next alternati've mp3 players, theres plenty. Are u just trying to get the creative people saying "oh man we lost another one to ipod" cuz i'm sure they don't lose sleep over u wanting to buy an ipod instead of a zen. *done ranting*

    I am using photoshop Elements 10 under the create tab...slide show.
    Used it on my desktop several times. Deactivated it and installed on new lap top about 5 months ago.  Had not used it other than for photo editing until today.

  • I am using Iphoto 6 to create a slide show but my music stops when it supposed to loop?

    I am using Iphoto 6 to create a slide show but my music stops when it supposed to loop?

    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

    Hi
    SlideShow in iDVD has a 99 photo limit - more than this and all sorts of error occures.
    One can have more than one SlideShow on a DVD = X times 99 photos.
    or assemble SlideShows in a movie editor (no limit at least not under 650 photos)
    (only limit is Time in iDVD (movie time + MENU time --- 60 min or 120 min on SL-DVD and about twice on DL.-DVD )
    I use
    • iMovie up to HD6 - or -
    • FinalCut any version
    As they will give a better quality than iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 can do.
    Yours Bengt W

  • I have created a slide show with pictures and music in Iphoto and when I try export it I get Error You do not have sufficient permission for this operation.

    I have created a slide show with pictures and music in Iphoto and when I try export it I get Error You do not have sufficient permission for this operation.  Try to export to an external HD attached, all help would be gratefully received 

    Have you ever successfully saved anything to that external drive? My first two thoughts are that the drive isn't formatted for the Mac or that you don't have rights to save to the drive.

  • How can I change the order of photos in iPhoto so I can create the slide show I want?

    How to change the order of photos in iPhoto on my iPad, so I can create the slide show I want.

    Here's what I did to generate a slide show with Ken Burns effect on the iPad...with the exact same slide order I created on the iMac.  I have iOS 5.5 and iPhoto App on New iPad, and iPhoto 11 on iMac.
    In iPhoto for the Mac, create a new Album and give it the name of your Slide Show. Drag or import the photos you want into the album.  Rearrange the order of the album photos as desired. Do this by selecting Manual Sort under View/Sort Photos or simply start dragging thumbnails to the places you want them (the sort method will automatically change to Manual). 
    When you have the order you want, shut down iPhoto on the Mac to make sure iPhoto's database gets updated with the new photos and their order. 
    Restart iPhoto and go to File/Export on the top menu.  Select File Export at the top left of the Export window. Set JPEG quality to Max, Size to Full Size, and File Name to Album Name and Number.  Set Subfolder Format to None.
    Click Export to bring up what looks like the Finder.  Create an empty folder on your hard drive under Pictures and give it the name of your slide show. Click on the new folder and then click OK at the bottom right of the Finder-like window.  The new folder will contain JPEG files with file names in the form, Album Name - 001.jpeg, Album Name - 002.jpeg, etc.  There will also be an iPOD Photo Cache folder.  Click at the top of the Name column to order files by file name.  001 will be your first slide, 002 your second, etc.
    Now start up iTunes. You are going to force the Mac to sync these new photos with the iPad.  Click on your iPad device in the list at the left.  Now click on the Photo button at top right. Make sure the Sync Photos check box at top is checked, then select Choose Folder... from the list at right.  In the Finder-like window that opens, select the folder where your slides are.  Make sure that All Folders is checked, then select Open at the bottom right.
    Now click Sync at bottom right.  The slides will be copied to your iPad.  Both the Photos app and the iPhoto app will properly handle the slide order, and the Ken Burns effect is available using the iPhoto app.
    I ran across this problem in preparing a Ken Burns slide show for a wedding.  Drove me nuts for a week why the order changes when syncing an iPhoto album from iMac to iPad.  But this worked and gave me several options.  I plan to use the digital AV adapter for iPad and show slides on a large screen TV using HDMI connection from iPad to TV.  TV essentially acts as an external monitor for the iPad.
    Hope this helps!

  • How do I create a slide show in a separate, non iPhoto folder?

    I moved about a 1000 photos from iPhoto to a new folder I created in an external drive to save space in iPhoto. How do I create a slide show in the new folder? When I click a photo to enlarge it it goes into Preview mode which enables you to have a slide show. But do I have to click and enlarge all 1000 photos? There is bound to be a simpler way.
    Thanks,
    Max

    MaxFS,
    I see you are still using Jaguar, is this true?
    With Tiger (10.4) you can select all the photos in a folder
    control click on the photos and scroll to "slideshow"
    You can also select all the photos in the folder
    double click on the selection to have them open in Preview
    In preview use the option for a slideshow.
    This does tell me that you might have a newer version of OS X than what is noted in your specs.
    Also, I think there is a limit to the number of photos that will open in a slideshow or preview. It might be around 99 or 150 (I can't remember right now)

  • PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

    I am unable to create a slide show with audio.  All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play.  Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed."  Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are  installed & functioning properly.  Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board.  No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders.  Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    1.  I have Windows Media Player 11.  It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3  I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer.  May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed.  I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
    2.  I Tunes is my primary player.
    3.  OS is Vista Home premium
    After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
    1.  I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder.  Played OK.  Slide show performed OK.  I did not locate the included music folder with program.
    <edited>
    3.  In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files.  The error message I receive is:
         "Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
    Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file.  I missed that before.  I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
    Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist.  Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try.  I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.

  • When I try to open certain slide shows, my computer gets the spinning wheel and times out. Other slide shows open fine. What am I doing wrong?

    Hard to say but most likely you are not doing anything wrong but have some library corruption
    What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
    backup your iphoto library, depress the command and option keys, launch iPhoto and rebuild your database

    Do you mean from a Shared Stream or My Photo Stream?
    In iPhoto on your iPhone, iPad you create slideshow projects by selecting photos and then sharing them as a new slideshow. http://help.apple.com/iphoto/iphone/2.0/?handbuch#blnkbc26e276
    You can publish your slideshow in iCloud:  http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333
    In iPhoto on your Mac you can make an instant slideshow by selecting the photos in the photo stream and pressing the slideshow button, see: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2333
