error(?) while exporting slideshow

Hi,
so while I was exporting a slideshow with about about 100 photos at 1080p (high def.) the bar that shows the progress stops moving when it is two thirds done and the preview thumbnail thing next to it goes pitch black and it stays that way. In the end I had to cancel the export and give up on the slideshow.

If anyone has any idea of why this is happening please tell me...

(at the same time i was monitoring my cpu and temp using istat pro. i'm not sure if dashboard was causing the problem but who knows?)

thanks

Hi Terence,
Thanks. I am now doing it one more time and the setting the energy saver to never. I am going to take a rest now. See if it can generate a .mov slideshow document tomorrow morning. I failed the slideshow generation for a week. Hope work time works.

Regards
Daniel

Hope it works this time. BTW, how can I post the captured screen to the forum. I want to share the data storage. I know how to print screen but do not know how past it here. Thanks.

Vinofreak found a fix for the 9459 error that worked for him. See his post in this topic: Exporting slideshow fails with osstatus error -9459.

Let us know if it works for you.

I was set my sysprefs>energy> to never sleep for longer battery life. Unfortunately it failed again with error code above. Now I set my sysprefs>energy> to never sleep for monitor and cpu. Hope it works this time.

That's the same crash each time:

I've been googling that and not come across anyone with the same issue in iPhoto. However several folks with that crash on other apps have had good results downloading and re-applying the 10.6.3 updater.

TD

Apr 24, 2010 5:53 AM in response to Yer_Man

Hi Terence,
I will try re-applying the 10.6.3 updater then. Or else I will abandon. Thanks for advices anyway.

Daniel

Re-apply the 10.6.3 updater & find that not enough memory to generate the slideshow.

Sorry, can't answer the re-install question. Just wanted to add that I'm having the same issue on my 8-core, with gobs of memory and storage. AND... the same solution. If I keep both the computer and the displays awake, it works.

Pls disregard. Mis-posted, but the topic is relevant.

jam123456 - thanks to you, n-godwin, and all the others who have posted about this problem. I have exported many slideshow movies from iMovie using Quick Time and never had any difficulties. This was my first attempt to export a slideshow directly from iPhoto and I was stumped by the error. I rebuilt my iPhoto Library as suggested, kept my computer awake, and turned off Time Machine for good measure. Perfect result!

Turn off Energy Saver and try exporting again. That helped many users who were getting a specific error message and might work for you.

Yup, I had the same experience as n_godwin. For me it was all about the display going to sleep, not the computer itself. I consistently found over the last couple days that if I turned off the display by using a hot corner or if the display timed out through the Energy Saver setting, the slidshow export failed. Didn't matter if the slideshow was on its way to iDVD or the desktop.

Rebuilding the library didn't help me, and neither did setting the COMPUTER sleep time to never. It was all about the DISPLAY sleep time.

Try setting the display sleep to "never" while you do the export.
