How do I get my photos to present like the Apple TV screen saver presents its photos?

I would like to have my Ipad picture albums present on my Apple TV like the factory screen saver pictures that the Apple TV presents. Any ideas how to do that?

You need to go into the settings and set the screensaver to show your photos. Make sure you have shared photos via iTunes (File - home sharing - choose photos to share). iTunes needs to be up and running so it can cache the photos on ATV flash drive. FYI: It only uses a small portion (typically around 100)

I figured out how to put photos onto the Apple TV Screen-Saver

I was having trouble using photos with the Apple TV screen saver.
I got as far as putting them into the photo stream, but some photos were crooked, with no way of editing them.
I called Apple, they didn't know what to do.
I am submitting this after calling Tech Support at Apple, wanting to give them the information...don't know if they really took it to heart. I figured this out myself with the help of my son.
I want to share it with others.
So, let me begin:
I texted my son, he had set it up once for me, but I deleted the file.
So he told me to edit the photos on my iPhone, in my photostream. Well there wasn't any to edit. The file was not there.
So going through my PC, I clicked on "My Computer"
I clicked onto "iCloud Photos"
I get what looks like the above photo. Click on "New photo stream"
You will then get this screen. In the "to" field, send it to yourself. And then name your file, click "next".
It will then give you this screen:
When all the photos load, click done.
THEN, go to your Apple TV.
Settings:
Click on "Screen Saver"
Click on "Photos"
Click on "iCloud Photos"
Click on the file you named on your PC.
Now you will find, like me on "previewing" that some pictures were not straight.
Go to your iPhone, click on your "Camera Roll"
Click on "Photo Stream"
Then you will see your file that you created for your screen saver.
Click onto your file, from there you can click on the crooked photo and click "Edit", it asks to save it to "Camera Roll". Click there.
What I did then was delete the crooked picture and at the bottom of this file within your "Photo Stream", go to the bottom of the photos, it will have a tile with a plus sign in it. Click on that to add from your "Camera Roll" the corrected picture.
Do this for every crooked photo.
ALL DONE!
When done, go to your "Camera Roll" and delete these photos.

This issue is resolved, through the generous advice of folks on this page.
See my reply to Apple (2nd gen.) photo shuffle. The Fix that I posted works for Apple 3 Gen, which was just purchased Dec. 27,2013.
Thanks to all

You've tried deleting and redownloading them and seeing if they then work and tried contacting the developers ? If you have and they can't/won't help then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

I restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

i restored my iPod in the middle of a download, now it can't do anything but restore, and when i restore it, the screen gets stuck on weird things, like the apple screen or purple or yellow. how do i get it un-stuck?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

How can I get my Mac to load past the start-up screen?

My MacBook Pro (17" Mid-2009 model) that originally came with Snow Leopoard was acting up recently. Currently, it was running OS X Yosemite. I had been using the computer and then left it in sleep mode for two days while I was away. When I came back, the computer was turned off. At first, I thought it had simply run out of battery power but a quick press of the battery-level button on the side showed it had around 80% of battery left. I did not turn it off before I left, so I assumed another person had turned it off for me.
I proceeded to turn on the computer, but it started to make a faint, but abnormal noise. It was not coming from the disk drive, more on the lower left corner of the computer. It was repeating every few seconds. It then completed start up and I was presented with the log-in screen. The normal icons for each profile showed, but the icons for the menu bar at the top and the "sleep", "restart", and "shut down" along with other normal computer icons were completely weird. The closest I could describe them as was a more pixelated version of the infamous "missingno" from early Pokemon games: garbled pictures of once-normal icons.
The the comouter was acting much slower than usual, but I was able to click on my profile to enter my password. The animations were sluggish and distorted. It didnt even show that I had entered any characters, but I knew it was attempting to log in because the placement of icons were arranged to where they would be in a login. After a few minutes, I tried to shut the computer down by pressing the on-screen power button, but to no success. I forced the comouter off by holding the power button on my Mac, where is sputtered down with a flash of the screen.
I waited a few minutes, and completed a NVRAM restart. The sound came on along with the screen, but the loading bar would get to only 1/3 of the way before sitting for 3 minutes then dissapearing as the computer shut off. I attempted to restart several times, all met with the same failure. At this point, I had tried a few things suggested on websites such as entering single-user mode and entering "fsck -fy". I was unable to enter safe mode or disk utility.
Then like magic the computer actually completed start up and I was able to log in. Unfortuantely, I was only on for about 10 minutes before the comouter shut down yet again. Through the next few hours, I was desperately trying to restart the computer, only being able to enter disk utility once. The disk utility said there was nothing wrong with "Macintosh HD" when I "Verify Disk"-ed but that something else was wrong when I clicked on "Repair Disk". (I don't even know if this is even the right kind of thing to do in this type of problem, but I tried it anyway.)
So, I have tried different things like removing my external mouse and re-installing OS X (Which I could not do because it only gave me the option of selecting "Recovery Drive" because the normal "Macintosh HD" did not appear). But nothing has worked so far. From what I have seen, this also doesn't look like an issue with a graphics or video card because the screen is no longer glitchy (I read a discussion about failing NVidia cards causing a lawsuit and free replacements but they were a few years before my Mac was purchased) but I do not know what a problem with a logic board would look like, nor a failing hard drive. From what this looks like, I think I am going to have to fork over hundreds of dollars at the Apple Store just to fix something that is wrong. Hopefully, I won't lose any data.
Here is more information about my computer:

Slow, intermittent. Sometimes bootable sometime not. Odd behavior.
Sounds to me like a classic case of your HD failing.
Your SMART status may still show verified, with no errors on the Apple Hardware Test, Disk Utility shows no problems on Disk Repair- this is of no help.
I trust you have a good back-up and a bootable clone.

How do I get the accuweather to be blue and how do I get the Ovi store thing on the bottom?

That is NOT a picture of a PHONE. The colors, widgets etc are made up, they're not real. As far as I know there is no way except to make your own widget background, hack into the program's code and replace the widget background to your own. I would guess that it's not open source code so good luck. The programming may not be that bad depending on what language it's done with. I have no idea, not a programmer, but sometimes images like backgrounds are stored in DLL files.
To customize individual apps design you need to rebuild the actual software of the app itself. That is not a theme, it's not even a picture of a phone LOL
It's a drawing so they could make stuff any color they want (the blue is probably just a mistake)
edited: The OVI icon I've never seen before. Maybe it's on other carriers but I've never seen it. I know the contact pictures are set in the contacts list, I don't know how to choose an icon for an application shortcut but I know it's possible. Theme makers do it so it mnust be possible to do a single icon.

I have audio books on my ipod, but when I hook it up to my computer they don't show up so I can't take them off or anything. Now I am out of space. How do I get them to show up on the itunes sync screens?

I have audio books that are on my ipod touch, but when I hook it up to my computer to make changes they don't show up. I can't add new music, because it keeps telling me I am out of room. When I go to the book tab at the top it doesn't show any so I can't take them off. How do I get them to show up?

iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
Authorizing a computer does not cause media to magically appear.
Media is only where the user puts it.
Copy the ENTIRE iTunes folder from the old computer to the new computer.

How do i get music videos to play like the music does on my ipad, for example one right after another and shuffle

I need to know how I can get the music videos on my IPad to play like the music does. What I mean id setting up a playlist, shuffle, and have them play one right after another instead of going back to the main screen.

At the top of the playlist where it shows the playlist title and the number of songs, there are two icons. Click the "play" triangle to add the entire playlist to "Up Next", or the "shuffle" symbol to do the same thing but in random order. But the currently playing track will stop playing, and all the songs in "Up Next" will be removed (replaced by the ones from this playlist).
If you hold down the "option" key while clicking those icons, the currently playing song will continue playing, and the new playlist will be added to "Up Next" (above the songs that were already there).

Pinterest was taking up 13 GB on my phone. I deleted it, it ran out of battery and when i plugged it back in- i cant get it to start off of the apple logo screen. Help!!

My phone had been telling me i did not have enough storage- and i finally found out that pintrest was taking up 13 GB! When i found out, i deleted it. Soon my phone ran out of battery, and it was a while before i could plug it back in. Once i could plug it in it stayed on the Apple logo- and will not start. I can hold the power and start button and it will go black, but thats it. I have plugged it in but itunes wants me to restore it- we just got back from vacation and all our photos are on my phone!! I dont want to lose them!! GRRR PLEASE HELP!!!

Here's how to perform the restore:

If you can actually get to restore, maybe (I estimate a 0.01% chance) you'll be able to do a backup before the restore. Actually, from the symptoms you describe, I suspect a restore won't work either and you'll need to do a recovery.
Just in case, if you need to recover (restore fails), here's how. Note you may have to try to get into recovery mode more than once.

How do i get rid of black space at the end of a video presentation?

After creating a project in iMovie and burning it onto a DVD, I realized that when the movie was finished, it did not return to the Menu right away and instead it played 20 or so seconds of blackness that I can't seem to get rid of. Has anyone else had this problem? And how do i fix it? I have also checked if my any audio or narration tracks lengths were that long, and none were.
Please help.
MacBook Pro Mac OS X (10.4.10)

In the course of your editing you may inadvertently have left a tiny scrap of audio or video way out at the end of your time line, with a large gap between it and the last clip in your movie. Your movie will play out until it reaches that scrap, leaving a large black gap at the end of the movie. Sometimes these scraps are so tiny that they are difficult to see and can be overlooked in normal view. Expand your time line view to its fullest extent and check to see if you can find such a scrap, left over from editing, and then delete it. It's worth a look, though you may not find anything. That's all I can think of, unless for some reason you have a 20 second long black clip at the end of your movie that you forgot to delete. (Don't laugh--it happened to me once.)
Good luck in resolving your issue.

Mail & Yahoo: how can I get "Sent" folder to synch, like the "Inbox"?

Happy to be back in Mac, after 15yrs of corporate MS boredom. And TIA for your help with my little 'set-up' problem.
I'd like that my "Sent" mailbox (in Mail.app) mimic the functionality of my "Inbox" mailbox, as relates to my Yahoo!Plus email account. What do I mean? My Inbox associated with my Yahoo account, i.e. in the Mail sidebar under the higher-level Inbox mailbox, contains every email that was in my Inbox on the Yahoo server (and still is, since I chose not to "Remove a copy from the server after retrieving a message, in Mail>Prefs>Accts>Advanced pane).
But the "Sent" mailbox associated with my Yahoo account only contains the messages I send from the Mail application (clearly only when I choose to use the Yahoo account). Also, none of these messages appear in the Sent folder on the Yahoo server, i.e. when I go to the Yahoo site via a web browser, which I'll do when not carrying the Mac with me.
Otherwise, setting up Mail to work with Yahoo was a breeze. N.B. I pay the $20/yr fee for the Mail Plus account/service, so didn't get stuck with the "pay to play" issue that many others have when trying to set up their free Yahoo acct w/Mail.
I recall having this "Sent" folder functionality when I was using Outlook a couple of years ago, hence the answer to 'why would this guy have been paying $20 a year...?'. And I don't/won't go there on my Mac!
Thanks, again, for any help.
MBP 15" Core 2 Duo Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Necessity being the Mother of invention, I built a crude work-around and fixed half of the problem. I'd still be interested to hear if any of you have 'solved' the other half.
First half fix: On the mail.yahoo.com site, go to the Sent folders and select all of the messages there. Then, in the header, click on the "Move..." button and then select the "Inbox" as the destination. (N.B. This can not be undone; You can move messages from the Inbox to other folders, but not to your Sent folder. Go figure.) The next time you synch (or "Get Mail") from the Mac's Mail app, these "sent" messages will appear in your Inbox. Sort the Inbox by sender and move the messages sent by you to your "Sent" mailbox folder.
Now you've got a complete history of emails, both sent and received, on your Mac.
Second problem not fixed: Messages sent from the Mail app do not appear in the "Sent" folder on mail.yahoo website. So while your Inbox is synchronized between your Mac and your yahoo! account, your Sent items are not.
I was hoping that synching my Mac Mail with .Mac would allow me to see my sent messages remotely, from any internet browser. But at first blush, that dog don't hunt.
Any advice - short of a wholesale move to my @mac.com email - would be appreciated greatly. Even if the advice is "give up the ghost; can't be done; give up the yahoo email"!
Cheers.

How do I get a picture to look like the audi example picture (2nd one) when you download motion 5 from the app store?

Im looking to remake this picture that is an example when you download motion 5 from the app store. Apple gives you 5 example pictures to kind of show off what the program can do and I want to replicate the 2nd one. I like how the picture is divided into multiple different sized boxes and I dont know the presets needed to make another picture like that. Any tips are welcome. Thanks.

Thanks for the help folks, sorry I've been away.
I'd love help with the problem of why I only one track seems to accept clips to play. When I drag them to other tracks or create a track by dragging the clips are grayed out and won't play, but if I drag them to the one track where they're blue they play.
