HELP! I can't export a slideshow out of iPhoto 11 (v9.4)

You need to go through the items in your Slideshow to identify the one that can't be found.

Same problem for me too. I tried to create the slideshow in aperture instead of iPhoto, and it does the same thing except that it doesn't give me an alert it simply doesn't export the file.

Also, this is a new problem (maybe since a system update). I have slideshows I was able to export before and that I haven't touched since, that now won't export.

I have the same issue with iPhoto, since the latest update I have not been able to export a slideshow. I cannot export slideshows which I have previously exported. I keeps telling me "The operation can’t be completed because the item can’t be found." I hope they fix this soon I need this functionalty for a project.

Ok I figured this out. I opened iMovie and a warning popped up about a program which may cause iMovie not to work. I clicked on show in Finder and deleted the files. Then iPhoto began exporting as expected. The files I deleted are 3ivx.plist and 3ivxVideoCodec.component.

Good Luck

iMovie doesn't give me that warning, and searching my system doesn't bring up that file. So there must be something else at work here.

bump...

The console shows several errors frim the second you hit go. I tried changing the compressor used in the export, and no luck... This *****.

To make it stranger... iPhoto Exporting works on my MBP-r laptop (rendering one now), but not on my iMac. Both are brand new, with maxed out processors and ram.

Re-installed iphoto, rebuilt OS permissions, rebuilt library database, fixed and tweaked everything.

Still get the can't find file error.

If you have these two files on your hard drive delete them and try again:

3ivx.plist and 3ivxVideoCodec.component

They may be in areas that Spotlight can't search so download and use Find Any File.

OT

I was with the same problem and followed the instruction on removing 3ivx codec. By a simple file search I could find in my iMac "uninstall 3ivx" command and I did it. Since then, exporting iPhoto slideshow worked perfectly. Many thanks for the tip!

Can you please post the path where this file was found?

To be honest I dont know the path where the file was found.

Ive just done a simple search in the Spotlight on "3ivx" and a "uninstall 3ivx codec" command appeared. Ive just double clicked the file and it was done. No deeper search was in fact necessary.

Sorry I coudnt help you.

But, seems to me the problem could be different since you produced your slideshow in Aperture.

Have you tried to use iPhoto only?

I had the same problem with export. I removed Flip4Mac and Perian codecs (found uninstallers through spotlight), restarted iPhoto and it helped. I re-install Perian again then and it works fine.
