Good morning Ronni I am delighted! Thank you again for your easy to follow instructions as below,
>> To export your iPhoto slideshows for iPad, iPod, iPhone, or Apple TV, follow >> these steps: When re-read your instructions last night, and I saw in your Point 5 "may take quite a bit of time", I began the export process immediately. Two and a half hours later it was still going through so I left the exporting to continue overnight. Now I have successfully watched a 35 minute movie consisting of the photos and little movies and I am very happy.
