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?

1 - iPHoto is supported
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

Why Won't iPhoto Export My Slideshow?

I import photos to iPhoto from my Canon Rebel. They were taken as RAW. I create a folder and name it within iPhoto. I place 50 images and order them the way I want. I then "Select All" the 50 photos in the folder just to play it safe. I click the Plus button and choose Slideshow. I go through all the steps, selecting the theme, selecting the Apple canned music (so that there won't be a copyright issue), I set my settings... Show Title, play music through slideshow, etc. I then click the Preview button. It works fine! I then tap the Play button. My slideshow fills the screen and does as I have asked it to. I then make sure that my slideshow is selected in the left column (it has not been unselected since I started this maneuver) and I click the Export button at the bottom of the window. HERE IS WHERE, AS I SAID BEFORE, EXPORT DOES NOT WORK.... A dialog box comes up: "Export your slideshow Choose a format based on where you will view your slideshows;___Format:" (I have chosen all three choices many, many times trying to get beyond this point.) "Automatically send slideshow to iTunes" has been selected, BTW. I then hit the export button and the navigator dialog box opens and I choose my folder called iPhoto Slideshows. I click OK. At this point the export progress dialog box opens and sits there... the thumbnail rectangle remains BLACK. The progress bar never changes from its standard GREY. The only text on the export slideshow dialog box remains the same and says: "Exporting Slideshow ..." Fearing there was a hiccup somewhere, I have left this window open and able to work OVERNIGHT, just in case. Nothing. I have tried all three formats. I have changed the destination folder. Nothing.
I have had this problem for months. Have asked this forum for help. I have been told nothing is wrong with iPhoto.
So here's my new question: "What am I suppose to do about this problem that I have explained above?"
I would say my copy of iPhoto is corrupt, if there is nothing wrong with iPhoto in general. Is this a possibility? In which case.... How do I get another iPhoto app without having to pay for it?
Or do you have some other reason this process is not working on my Mac Pro with OS X 10.9.5 (13F34)?
This is the fifth time I have had to export all my photos to my laptop and use Snow Leopard with iPhoto 9.2.3 in order to finish my projects.
Please help with these EXPORT FAILURE questions.
Thank you, very much.

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.
For older versions that have been installed from Disk you'll need these additional steps:
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
*Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.

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.

Why won't iPhoto work after installing Mavericks?

I installed Mavericks on my 2009 27 " iMac and now my iPhoto won't work. It says, "You can't use this version of iPhoto with this version of iOSX: You are using iPhoto 9.3."
I can now not access any of my photos.
I am not sure if I am using Mountain Lion or Lion. I think I updated to Mountain Lion but am not sure.

Tried installing the iPHoto9.4.3 Update. It gives me an alert that says "this version of Iphoto on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the App Store to see if an update is available."
PS Sorry if you thought i was giving you attitude. I am supposed to be working on a project due in two days and I need iPhoto to do it. So I am in panic mode.

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc?

Why won't iPhoto 11 in Mavericks open or create books, cards, etc? I can't open existing projects or create new ones. Nothing happens when I try to open a project: alsop, nothing happens when I click 'Create' when trying a make a card, book, etc. All very frustrating.

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?
Post back with the result.

Why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks

why won't iPhoto download after i have bought it from the app store and installed mavericks?

Sorry no mind readers here so you have to tell us details, context and any error messages - just stating an abstract problem that could have thousands of causes is not enough
What version of iPhoto? Of the OS? what has changed since it worked? How are you trying to open it (clicking on the icon in the Dock, double clicking on the application in the applications folder, ???)?
Anything else you can tell a total stranger who can not see you or your computer to let them assist you?

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 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

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...

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.
Thank you,

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 does my iPhoto export in both NEF and jpg

My requirement is this. I want to export two versions of my photos to disk - one, as JPEG for sharing with family/friends; and two, as RAW to retain my changes for subsequent edits.
When I export an iPhoto Event to disk, I use File -> Export -> 'Current' (to preserve my edits), and it saves some photos as NEF and some as lowercase jpg. I studied a previous thread where iPhoto saved portrait files as jpg - although this is true for some of my photos, it is not entirely true. Within the same event, I have landscape mode photos which have been saved as jpg.
I have checked my exports previous to Mavericks, and none of those exports have this problem. Is this a iPhoto / Mavericks bug like my previous post (where iPhoto would destroy some photos vertically). I'm using iPhoto 09 v8.1.2 (424) on mid 2009 MBP OSX 10.9.3.
Thanks.

If you export from iPhoto with "Kind > Current", it will export as a JPEG, if you have done any adjustments or modifications at all. The current version will be exported as a JPEG. If the original has not been touched at all, however, exporting as "Kind > Current" will export the original RAW file.
If you want to be sure to export as a JPEG for sharing with your family, use "File > Export , Kind > JPEG, Full Size, to be on the safe side.

Why can't I export slideshow from iPhoto?

created a slideshow in iPhoto and now it won't export. Help?

WWhat happens, when you try to export? Any error messages? Where are you trying to export to?

Why won't iPhoto or iMovie updates work after Mavericks update?

Following updating to Mavericks the App Store lists two necessray updates - IPhoto and iMovie. However when I try and update I get an error message saying that they cant be updated from this apple ID. I originally installed them back in the days when I was running Leopard from a CD - No problems since then, but now apparently no go...
Both still work in their current form.
iPhoto 11 ver 9.4.3
iMovie 11 ver 9.0.9
Any ideas?

The updates/replacements for the iLife and iWork apps are free from the App Store. However, you may have to completely delete the apps to get the free download. NOTE the free iWork (Pages, Keynote, and Numbers) have a reduced feature set similar to the iOS and iCloud versions.

Iphoto - exporting slideshow to quicktime issue

Hi All!
I'm attempting to export a slideshow from iphoto into quicktime using the 'export button'. I have everything set on the slideshow, the music is right, everything looks good. I click the 'export' button and set all the export preferences and click 'save'.
After a few minutes, a box pops up that says 'The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found.'   I've tried this with other (simpler) slideshows and get the same pop-up....
All updates have been made to my system, etc..... any thoughts on what I might be doing wrong or on how to get this done?
Thanks.

Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button,
navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
Note 2: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
          6 - try creating and exporting a slideshow in the newly rebuilt library.
