Hi Ronni, thanks for the reply. I tried the first option of going to Settings and then Photos, but I cannot find a Repeat option for slideshows anywhere.
The options I have are: Allow Photos to Access Siri & Search, iCloud, Optimise iPad Storage, Download and Keep Originals, Upload to My Photo Stream,, Shared Albums, Hidden Album, Photos Tab - Auto Play Videos and Live Photos, Memories, Transfer to Mac or PC. With regard to Quicktime that is the main cause of my problem - it is not on my iPad! Nor does it seem as if it is available, (at least not on the app store). I knew how to loop with Quicktime I had been doing it for years but because I had to get the newer iPad Air 2, OS 14.8.1 the only way I could find to make the videos play was by using the AppleTV app and that as I mentioned doesn’t have a loop feature. Take care.
