2nd gen apple tv not seeing entire iphoto library

Here's something weird - anyone know why I can't see my entire iPhoto library on my 2nd gen. Apple TV?
I have my entire library shared in iPhoto
I have home sharing turned on in iTunes and am signed in using my Apple ID on the apple TV
I see my whole iTunes library and am able to stream movies etc to Apple TV
What's weird is only certain (two) events show up in the Photos section under "Computers" but when I select computers/photos it says "my iTunes." ALSO, when I go to iTunes/devices on my computer, I don't see my 2nd gen Apple TV listed - only my 1st gen Apple TV...
Any ideas out there, Apple Gurus???
Thanks!!!

You select the photos that are shared to your Apple TV from the advanced menu in iTunes.
Apple TV 2 is not intended to show up under the devices list in iTunes.

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my iphoto library

Adobe Lightroom on MacBook Pro does not see my "iphoto library"

Hello.
The problem is that the iPhoto library is inside of iPhoto. Lightroom won't let you select it because it's basically a shortcut to iPhoto. Try exporting the images you need or all of them, depending on what you need.

2nd. gen Apple TV not connecting to wi-fi network

Our 2nd. gen Apple TV has been working fine for years but suddenly (I suspect since the upgrade to software v. 6) it has trouble connecting to our wi-fi network, Whenever I turn it on, it says that "Apple TV can't connect to the network," even though when I look at the network settings, it shows the network and full signal strength. All of our other wireless devices work just fine with the network. Restarting it doesn't solve the problem, nor does uplugging it, or resetting it. The only thing that works is to reset the router (we use Time Capsule). Once we do that, everything works fine again. But then the next time we use it, it displays the same message when I turn it on and I have to go through the same steps all over. I don't really want to have to reset the router every time I want to use Apple TV.
I am running 6.0.1 on Apple TV and have the latest update on Time Capsule. Any ideas on what the problem might be and how I might fix it?

My problem solved itself. I think the problem was a conflict between my Apple TV and a printer on my network. For a completely unrelated reason, I had to remove the printer off the network. Once it was gone, Apple TV has been working fine. So, you may want to try removing other things from your network and see if that solves the problem. It was just a fluke that I figured it out.

2nd gen apple tv not streaming after last software update

I have 2 2nd gen apple tvs. I updated the software to 5.0 on one but not the other. The updated apple tv is having streaming issues with my purchased content. Netflix will stream but not my purchased tv shows or movies. Anyone else having this issue? I tried a reset but that didn't work. And my other apple tv which i didnt update is working fine. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Damian,
Thank you for taking the time to respond and no chance I thought that was rude. Unfortunately I had already reset and rebooted prior to posting. Also I have another 2nd gen apple tv and I stream netflix all the time as well as amazon prime and am not having issues so it's not my connection. The only difference between my two apple tvs is that I upgraded the software on one (which now isn't working right) and not the other which is still functioning well! So I am curious if anyone else has experienced this and has a solution.
Thanks again for your ideas and if anything else occurs to you, ping me!

Front Row does not see my iPhoto library

Hello,
on Tiger, latest version iMac C2D 2,16, Front row 1.3.1 does not see my iPhoto 6.0.6 library. I trashed pref for Front Row, nothing better. Library is in Pictures.
It works Ok with others for music and video.
Does anyone of you have an idea?
Thank you very much,
Best regards,
François

Hello,
solved : you need to change some keywords. In fact it looks like I had a blank key word in iPhoto.

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Lightroom does not see my iPhoto Library

Unfortunately, importing from iPhoto to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is harder than it should be but there is an efficient solution. The secret to creating a new Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Catalog from an existing iPhoto image library is to download and install the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12. This sounds completely bizarre, but Photoshop Lightroom lacks the ability to import directly from iPhoto and iPhoto lacks a merge with Lightroom feature. Although Lightroom cannot import images from your existing iPhoto library, Photoshop Elements 12 can!
Even the free-trial version of Photoshop Elements 12 has the ability to import from iPhoto and then Lightroom 5 can import from Elements. Photoshop Elements 12 is ironically the missing link for those looking to move their images from iPhoto into Lightroom.

IWeb does not see my iPhoto library

For some reason the iWeb media browser does not see my iPhot's. It does see my iTunes and iMovies. It says "open iPhoto 2 or above". I do. It still does not see them.
I repaired permissions.
I deleted prefs (iPhoto and iWeb)
I know I can drag from iPhoto... but I would rather use it as intended.
Any ideas?
Randy

I just upgrade to iLife6 and am also having the same problem. It keeps telling me to launch iPhoto 2 or later.
I've tried all the suggestions in this thread and still iLife nor desktop prefs will see my iPhoto library. I thought it might be because my library was in on an external drive, but creating a library in my pictures folder didn't work either.
I have no items in my Movies folder. I guess my next option is to re-create my library. Yuck! And see if there is something corrupt in there that I'm not seeing. I will hate to loose my albums though, but I guess it's worth it if it fixes the problem.
Oh yeah, another thing. I just realized that the desktop prefs never saw my library even when I was running iLife5. Not sure what is going on.

2nd gen apple tv not synching with iTunes match

I've got the cloud on, and match on in the iTunes store, but I'm not getting most of my library in Apple TV.
I have tried turning them off, restarting, and turning them back on (and restarting) several times. still nothing.
What can I do to "kick" the match into synchronizing?
The equipment is an Apple TV and a MacBook Pro that were purchased one week ago.

If you are a new subscriber, make sure Match is turned on within iTunes on MBP and that it has finished the initial scan.
Try logging out of your iTunes account and back in on Apple TV

Can't see my Iphoto Library

Just updated Iphoto. Now I can not see my Iphoto Library.

Restore from your back up.
For anythign else you need to explain more:
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Aperture 3 doesn't see my iphoto library in OSx

I just installed the Aperture 3 trial on my new macbook pro and it does not see my iphoto library. I was also trying out the iphotolibrary manager but just uninstalled it when it didn't seem to have the full features that aperture has. What to do?

Hello,
It worked on the path import/iphoto browser.
That is, because this will show the current iPhoto Library, the one you last opened with iPhoto.
I wonder why not through library? That path has no library to choose from
Here you are supposed to point out the library you want to import using the file chooser: You have to locate it all by yourself.
In the dialogue that opens navigate to your Pictures Folder and select your iPhoto Library.
Regards
Léonie
Set the selector at the top of the window to your Pictures folder and pick the Library you want

Is anyone else having trouble viewing the SEC network via Watch ESPN on a 2nd gen Apple TV? Software is up to date, but SEC network not showing up as a channel. Using Xfinity - and it appears on iPhone5 but not on iPad2 - both of which are current on IOS. Help!

the wifi router could also be blocking
and to really test if the windows firewall is the problem then try turning it off!
if that scare you too much then disable the internet modem / cable modem or the likes while you test
always remove more and more factors when troubleshooting sooner or later it will work and you can narrow down which factor did the job and work on that

HT4623 In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an updates choice. Anybody know anything about this?

In the general settings on my ipod touch 2nd gen, I do not have an update choice. Anyone know anything about this?

An iPod Touch at iOS 3.1.3 and that iTunes states is up to date must be a 1st generation Touch, not 2nd.
See http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1353#iPod_touch_2nd_generation and notice the diffference between the 1st and 2nd gen models.

I have a 2010 MBP and a 2nd gen apple TV. How do I get them to mirror with Mavericks is possible at all?

I have a 2010 MacBook Pro and what I think is the 2nd Gen Apple TV( its the black one that does 720 not 1080p). I have recently installed Mavericks on my MBP, but I do not see the morrior option or any airplay option at all.
Is this a limitation on my MBP due to age, is it the Apple TV, or am I just missing something do stupidly obvious I will be embarassed?
Thank you for your time.

2nd Gen Apple TV & Network Storage

Hello,
I have been searching the forums and couldn't find anything that was related to my question, but I apologize if this question has been asked and answered many times before.
My question is that I currently own a 2nd gen Apple TV and a entry model mid 2010 iMac 21.5". I live in Canada and our only option is to purchase TV episodes instead of renting which is perfectly fine, however I am running into a concern of filling up my HDD with season after season of my favorite TV shows. I was looking at buying a 'Western Digital MyBook World Edition II 2TB Network Storage Drive' to place on my network that is strictly for all my digital media from iTunes. I was wondering if iTunes on my iMac will be able to detect and play media as if it was still directly on my iMacs HDD, and if so will I be able to stream all my media to my Apple TV like I currently am able to. Will that work? If not what other solutions can I look at for storing my media and having it accessible for my Apple TV without having to load up my iMac HDD?
I also already have a Time Capsule for my network but I want to dedicate the storage of that drive to personal and business documents and not all this media.
Thanks for any answers and help!

yes
If that is the case then will my Apple TV still detect my computer and its iTunes and allow me to stream the files in the same manor?
yes, however bear in mind that by having your media stored on a NAS, you are effectively doubling the amount of network data when playing content on the appletv.
your new setup would essentially be -
NAS > router > itunes > router > appletv.
currently it is -
itunes > router > appletv
if you have a robust network you shouldn't see any difference, however if your network isn't the best (especially WIFI) then you could start to see issue when streaming.
