slide show using more that 1 album

I recently went on a trip and took photos in several cities. I created an album from each city. How can I create a slideshow that plays all my albums? I’m running the latest osx on my Mac Studio.

Thanks,

How to change the order of Shared Albums in Photos Hello! I'm trying to rearrange the order of shared albums in Photos, on a MacBook Air running Sequoia 15.3.1. My shared albums are in a seemingly random order - or possibly in the order I created them or they were shared with me (hard to say). I would like to put them in alphabetical order at least. Apparently a user can change the order of Albums, but not Shared Albums. The following guidance talks about Albums and tells how to rearrange them: Create and work with albums in Photos on Mac – Apple Support (UK) But the following article, about Shared Albums, doesn't mention how to rearrange them: Create or join shared albums in Photos on Mac – Apple Support (UK) I have tried 35 ways and so far I can't do it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. - P

Is it possible to use Albums with a shared library? Is it possible to use Albums with a shared library? I am not using Shared Albums, I am using a Shared Library. I created a Shared Library. I moved pictures into it from my personal library by highlighting all pictures in an Album and designating that they be moved to the Shared Library, however, I cannot see how to move the Album structure with the pictures. I have 90,000 pictures that are in albums in my Personal Library on my iPhone and Mac, but in the shared library, all photos are in ONE place: the Shared Library for anyone but me. People I've Shared the Shared Library with, see 90,000 pictures in a flat structure (no Folders/Albums). There does not appear a way to bring my Folder/Album structure across to the Shared Library. This makes Shared Libraries mostly useless. Who would be willing to search through 90,000 photographs to find exactly what they are looking for? In terms of criticality, the Album/Folder issue is by far the most important; without structure, photos are hard to find. Has anyone been able to bring their folder/album structure across to the Shared Library so that other users can see and use the structure? There are other issues: PEOPLE: the list of PEOPLE is not synchronized between iPhone and MAC. The iPhone list seems more comprehensive, but I cannot get that list into the MAC. I cannot add to PEOPLE using the Address Book as the ID source. I can click all the buttons, but then 'nothing happens': no thing is added to 'PEOPLE'.

If it's the albums in your local library try this:

1 - create a smart album with these criteria:

If you don't have any animated gif images then ignore the animated portion.

2 - Control (right) - click on the smart album and select Create ➙ Slideshow ➙ Photos from the contextual menu:

Create another album with photos from both cites.

Are you asking about standard albums for a slideshow in Photos for Mac or a shared album slideshow on your Apple TV?

Opps. What I posted earlier will get ALL of your photos in the library, not just your selected albums.

You'll have to add the albums individually to the smart album like this:
