Q: Music for slideshow

Nearly all the music I have stored is unavailable for a slideshow. Oddly, just one album is...I'd like to use some of my downloaded music instead of the iPhoto slideshow music. Any suggestions?

iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:

    • what system are you running?
    • what model of Mac?
    • what version of iPhoto are you running? Or are you running the new Photos app?
    • where is your iPhoto library located?
    • where is your iTunes library located?
    • did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    • are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library?

    • how much free space on your boot drive?

    Thanks. To answer your questions:

     

    I'm on a MacBook Pro, OS 10.11.6

     

    New Photos app.

     

    Photos and Tunes are on my hard drive (I also have an external 1T Time Machine)

     

    No updates prior to problem.

     

    I don't know--what are the images from?

     

    I think I have plenty of bot drive space (8 GB)

     

    Will

    You posted in the iPhoto forum.  You're running Photos so the image from Photos' iCloud preference pane would be this:

    Which of the two is yours?
