I am in a slideshow (not an album) and when I try to change the order of the photos, all the photos move randomly to a new order. I can't arrange photos. I'm running iPhoto 9.5.1 Help?
OS X Mavericks (10.9.2)
There's a bug with iPhoto 9.5 and Mavericks in that slideshows from Albums do not play correctly if they are sorted manually. Only photos that have been sorted by date, keyword, rating or title will play from albums correctly.
To have a slideshow with photos sorted manually use the slideshow mode in iPhoto.
Send a bug report to Apple viahttp://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.
OT
That's the problem. I'm in slideshow mode. I can't arrange the photos within slideshow mode. They keep randomizing every time I try to move one.
As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library. Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
Yes, the problem persists :/
Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder:
User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
Unfortunately still no change
One more test to see if the problem is system wide or limited to your account: log into another user account and run the same test there.
