Apple TV 2 doesn't refresh the Photo Library help!

Hey,
I have everything updated, iTunes, iPhoto, AppleTV 2, iOS, MacOS and whatever else needs to be updated, it's all updated.
Yet, when I pick a library and I've deleted the rest keeping only ONE... For some reason, there are phantom photos cropping up that are NOT in the iPhoto Library..
How can I clear the buffer or whatever holds the photos on this device, it's starting to become a problem, I can't show any projects when it shows everything else from other projects mixed up...
Also does anyone offer an alternative to the Apple Remote on the iPhone? I really don't like it it's such a pain to use, it's not very responsive and it's very difficult to hit accurately when you scroll up or down.
Thanks in advance... it's such a pain...

I think you are onto something though...
From what I understand, you have a few options. The way I made mine work, is simply disconnect it from the power for a day. But before I did that I did this:
• Deleted the photo album I had on it, replaced it with a generic one.
• Cleared the device as in reset it
• Then let the generic one run for about a week or so, long enough time to fill the memory with the new contents.
• Then make a new copy of the AppleTV gallery I have in my iPhoto Library. Renamed it NEW AppleTV Gallery
• Let it run with that, then rename it in iPhoto after a few days to AppleTV Gallery...
• Choose that in AppleTV setup.
And that did the trick for me. I somehow think that of all the steps I did, you probably only need 3 of them, but I don't know which so I'm sharing with you all of them.
Just remember, to make sure you order the listing of your images as you want correctly in iPhoto so it won't make a mess when you want to stream it on the TV.
Sad part is, that like so many of Apple's devices, AppleTV and AppleTV 2, could and should be able to do so much more. Like support of MKV (It can if you force it so I hear). But mostly I wish they slapped a cheap 2GB storage or so onto it, so that the images you CHOOSE to hold on it, will be internally played not externally. Sad thing is that this little device is only a weak 25% of its full capacity, it could be so much more amazing.
But that is how Apple rolls the dice... and we just roll with the punches...

  • IPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed.

    iPhoto 11 doesn't show the photos that I just imported from an SD card, but says its importing to library 15 min after SD card is removed. The import seemed to start normally, I went to mail to check messages, came back to iPhoto & the usual prompt about wanting to delete the photos on the card never came up. The photos didn't show up in events or the library & the device icon wasn't showing so I tried to import again. A prompt then came up saying that I needed to wait until the import was done!

    Hi, this problem is also happening to me also. I just took some pics of my daughter on my nikon d3100 and imported them from SD card to iPhoto. It says 'preparing to import' but during the process i do not see the photos being imported. After it was done, there was a new event album, i clicked opend it to see my photos but all of them were blank. I forced quit and re-launched iPhoto but it didnt work, i even re-imported, not to no avail.. Please help.  Earlly 2011 13' MacBook pro 10.7.2

  • After updating iPhoto to 9.2 Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo I have opened.  The photo shows in the Navigator on the side panel, but not on the screen.  MFF

    After updating iPhoto to 9.2, Photoshop CS2 doesn't display the photo on the desktop screen, even though the image is shown in the Navigator pallet well to the right.

    No, that is the problem.  I don't see how it should be, but that is what happened after I did the upgrade, which was for iPhoto 9.2.  The upgrade then required that the Library be upgraded.  Then CS2 stopped showing the photo when I opened CS2.  Maybe there was a system upgrade for the whole system, that went along with 9.2.  Before the upgrade CS2 worked.  I even tried photos that I had on backup disks, and they wouldn't show in CS2 even though I had draged them to the PS icon in the dock.  These photos were not on my computer when the Library was upgraded.  I even tried photos fresh from the camera. Elements 9 does work to open the photos.

  • My Nokia N78 (firm 30.011) doesn't refresh the lib...

    I have Nokia N78 30.011 and a have a very annoying bug. I updated the firmware version from 20.149 to 30.011 and since then i cannot upload music to the music library. I copy it to my microSD card and put the option to refresh the music library.... and nothing. I tried to upload the music files via Nokia Music Manager and still nothing. I reinstalled the phone software but i still cannot refresh the library. The songs which are uploaded before the update are in the library but i cannot input nothing more. With my older version of the phone software i don't have such problems. Should i return my phone software to the previous version (and how)?

    Hi penio, first of all try to delete these files - You can do this to rebuild the library as it is corrupted.
    Restart your device and then refresh your library. If this doesn't help then;
    Connect the phone to your PC/laptop and put in 'Data transfer' mode.
    To delete the library files:
    - Ensure you can see hidden files in Windows Explorer:
    Windows Explorer .. Tools .. Folder Options .. View
    Select "Show hidden files and folders"
    - Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable in "Data transfer" mode
    - Find and rename (or delete if you're really brave) files with names like:
    E:\private\101FFC31\mpxv1.mpd
    E:\private\101FFC31\pcv5.mpd
    E:\private\101ffca9\harvesterdb.dat
    (assuming the phone's mass memory / card has been connected as E)
    Note that the folder names may be different and the files may have prefixes - eg: mpxv1.mpd could be called abcmpxv1.mpd. Basically, you need to search under the Private folder for any files that look similar.
    Now just refresh the Music Player library and the job is done.
    This will take longer than normal as it's a complete refresh, but it should now work.
    If this doesn't work then format your memory card but copy your IMP stuff.
    Please thank me by giving 'KUDOS' star. It will help me to serve you better.
    Currently using N82 and 5230. Next would be N?

  • The photo library needs to be upgraded but it doesn't and won't open

    When I go into IPhoto a message pops up that the photo library needs to be upgraded to work with this version of iPhoto, but when I hit upgrade it search's for an upgrade than another box pops up that say "you can't open your current photo library using this version of iPhoto. It continues "you have made changes to your photo library using a newer version of iPhoto. Please quit and use the latest version of iPhoto. But I can't upgrade. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    These messages can be a symptom of database damage:
    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
    Regards

  • The photo library won't upgrade so that I can use iPhoto

    I recently installed iWork on my computer. When I tried to open iPhoto after having my computer unplugged and off for awhile a message appeared saying "The photo library needs to be upgraded to work with the latest version of iPhoto..." I clicked the Upgrade button highlighted in blue and it said "Unable to upgrade this photo library because the current user doesn;t have access. If possible, repair permissions for iPhoto library and try again" I have no idea what this means. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Colleen:
    First move the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, from your User/Library/Preferences folder to the desktop and try again. If still a no-go download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, putting your administartive name in the owner and group sections. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt

    Hello,
    As many of you, I've installed photos. This is my problem: I am an enthusiastic photographer that keeps around 10K photos per year (approx. 60GB), and while I have several years of pictures, I've just get the last 5 years. To be honest, I never liked iphoto to organize my pictures, I rather use Picasa. The way how pictures get organized, the poor effects tweaks to photos, the lack of freedom to keep an online folder...etc.
    But with this new Photos, well, what the heck let's give it a chance.
    It seemed cool, all my devices connected, iCloud (very limited storage though), new nice quick effects... the organization of pictures also seemed improved. the UI as usual with apple apps, pretty neat and clean.
    Did I mentioned that I have several hundreds of GB of pictures? Well, a detail, I keep it in my time capsule to have them handy when I need it. With picasa, I just need to ensure that time capsule is waked, and pictures get recognized at once.
    With photos, I've tried with 1 year, 10,000 pictures and.... very disappointed, it shutdown every 1 minute saying "Photos must quit because the photo library has become unavailable or its data is corrupt"...
    Do I missing something here? is this supposed to be better than iPhoto? Time Capsule is not able to send steady signal to get my library online?

    Not sure exactly whats going on with that given how new Photos is. But, Picasa works because differently than Photos because it doesn't use a centralized library. Picasa will just scan the entire computer and reference it in that location. Photos libraries, while sometimes problematic, are superior because as you've experience moving all the content is as simply as moving a single file.
    Suggestions I would try:
    Make sure Photos is quit. Hold down Command + Option on keyboard and click Photos icon to launch. Keep holding until you get a dialog box about repairing the library.  Proceed with repair.
    Move the library, if size permits, to your local HD on the computer and attempt to open and use.
    Create a new library by holding Option on keyboard and launching Photos.  Choose to create a new library and make sure it's placed in your ~/Pictures folder. If that works you know its library specific.
    Right click on the external drive (also accomplished by holding Control when click), choose get info on the drive.  Bottom of new window expand (if not already) the sharing and permissions section.  Click lock icon and provide administrator password. If available, which it should be if using same drive for a Time Machine backup, check box to ignore permissions.

  • How do I save photos from email to the photo library?

    How do I save photos from email to the photo library? I've seen an online demo of users that hold their finger or thumb over the image for a few seconds and a "save photo" window option appears. That doesn't work on my 6-month old iphone. It's version 1.1.4 (4a102) ???? Help! Anybody with an answer?

    Never mind. I figured out the 2.0 update. My system wasn't updating I-tunes...and the I-phone update option window was hidden behind some other system information. I figured it out. The download, install and re-synch took about an hour. Lots of horror stories out there about people trying to activate their new I-phones. Glad this worked for me!

  • Need to backup and remove photo library form my iphone.  This library was previously backup on a hard drive that crashed.  So these photos are only in the photo library and not in the camera roll.  If I do a full backup, it only takes the camera roll.

    So this is a 2 part question:
    1) how to I backup the Photo Library to my new hard drive (as the last one was unrecoverable but previously backed up)
    2) how do I remove the Photo Library form my phone (preferably after backup in item 1)
    Thanks, Janis

    Since it has always been very basic to backup your computer and all it's data, Apple provides no way for you to transfer music from your iPhone back to your computer.  As you know, you can re-download all iTunes purchases, but music that you ripped yourself you'll have to just re-rip again.
    You can try and find 3rd party applications that might help you.  I'm sure you'll pay, however.
    Let this be a very important lesson learned.
    Best.
