Apple TV 2nd Generation Photos Will Not Display

I have ATV2, iMac running 10.5.8, iTunes 10.2.1 and iPhoto 6.0.6. Home sharing is turned on and on my iMac in iTunes Advanced menu > Choose photos to share... > I've selected Share Photos From: iPhoto and All photos and albums.
The computer is visible on the ATV2, I am able to play music from the iTunes library, TV shows from the iTunes library and also use airplay from the iMac to play content on the ATV2.
However, when I select the computer on ATV2 > Photos > I get the prompt telling me to choose photos to share from the iTunes advanced menu.
Called apple care and they were no help. Talked to a "senior advisor" and he wasn't even familiar with the ATV2. They had me update software, restart computers, and check the settings in iTunes > advanced. He is sending me iPhoto 9 in the mail to see if that resolves the issue. As I understand it, iPhoto 6 should be compatible though.
Have a Macbook Pro running OS 10.6 with a separate iTunes account and everything is streaming to the ATV2 just fine.
Help.

This worked for me ...
Go ahead and start the playlist on AT2. Then, while that is playing, use the AT2 remote to MENU back to the menu that shows : MUSIC, MOVIES, TV SHOWS, PODCASTS, iTUNES U and PHOTOS. Scroll down to PHOTOS and select it. I was not able to get EVENTS and PHOTOS to work (it stopped playing the music if I selected these and then slideshow), but if I went down to an ALBUM, I could get it to work. Arrow down to the ALBUM you want to show and select it (all this time, the music should continue to play). When the album opens, choose the SLIDESHOW option and it works (or it did for me). I was able to listen to my iTunes playlist and while also showing the photos I wanted.

My 2nd generation shuffle will not sync with itunes. Why?

I have done everything I can think of. I have restarted my mac several times, restarted Itunes and my 2nd generation shuffle will not show up in my iTunes. I just updated my iTunes and Mac to the latest version. Any help? Why wont my itunes connect to my ipod shuffle??

When iTunes is NOT running, does the shuffle show up on the Desktop, or appear in Disk Utility (when you run it)? Or, if you run System Profiler
Apple Menu -> About This Mac -> More Info -> System Report (if running Lion)
does the shuffle appear as a device under Hardware/USB?
If it is being recognized by the Mac in some way, you may be able to get it working again, using the iPod Reset Utility
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1238
This utility is for 1st and 2nd gen iPod shuffles only, as a "lower level" reset when you can't do a regular Restore in iTunes.
If the Mac is not seeing the shuffle at all, there is probably a problem with the USB connection, probably the USB cable/dock or the connection point on the shuffle (headphone jack) becoming faulty. To rule out the USB port in the Mac, be sure to try different ports. If you have been using a USB hub (or the spare keyboard port), be sure to try a direct port on the Mac. And be sure to try it with ALL other USB devices (except standard mouse and keyboard) disconnected, in case there is some USB device conflict happening.

My edited photos will not display when clicked on, a large triangle with exclmation comes up

my edited photos will not display when clicked on, instead a large grey area comes up wiht a triangle /exclamation sign.

Try these in order - from best option on down...
1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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 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.
3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

Iphoto photos will not display in iworks

I have a new Macbook Pro with ILife with Imovie 8 and Iphoto 8. Some photos that I just scanned and imported to iphoto after using an Epson Photo Perfection scanner, will not display in imovie. They were saved in jpeg format and appear fine in my iphoto files. I have even made changes to them in iphoto and saved them to see if that helped, but they still won't display in imovie. The only problem similar to this that I could find in the discussions is when the photos are saved in RAW format. These are not. Any ideas?

Try dropping one of the files directly from the Finder to the iMovie '08 "Project" window. If the files is accepted, then you know the compression format is good and can check things like file, event, or album names that may prevent the photos from being displayed via the iMovie '08 browser. If the file is not compatible, then iMovie will not import it and you can try "re-compressing" the files in an image application to see if they will then be recognized.

My 2nd generation ipod will not stay on an app

my 2 nd generation ipod will not stay on an app for instance ghost radar classic stays on for a minute then goes to app store

Believe it or not the iPod can go for months on end without ever completely powering down. Sometimes it helps to simply reboot it like any computer.
The following article explains how to do that, and more:

my 2nd. geration ipod will not update the software from 2.2 to 4 or 6.

Are you sure you have a 2G? A 1G can only go to 2.1 via iTunes but a 1G can go as high as 3.1.3 that you get here:
Purchasing iOS 3.1 Software Update for iPod touch (1st generation)
Identifying iPod models
To If you do have a 2G that can go to 4.2.1 by:
iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software
For 4.2.1 you need iTunes version 10.X and that requires OSX 105.8 or later.
If you have 10.4.11 you can only go to iOS 4.1 since that OSX can on go to iTunes 9.X

IPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 will not Restore/Reset

I have an iPOD Touch 2nd Generation A1288 that has gone into disabled mode. The Apple instructions for putting my device into recovery mode are not working and I have a new computer that has never connected/synced with this iPOD before :-( . iTunes just keeps telling me it can't connect to the ipod because I need to type my password into my ipod. IPOD screen still just says disabled. I have tried to get it into restore mode so many times that the "power off slider" won't appear on screen anymore when I hold down the sleep/wake button. The screen just goes black. When I press the home button the disabled screen pops up again. Do I need to take my iPOD to an apple store? The iPOD is named with my name and I have my ID to show the iPOD is mine so will they help me at the store? I have been researching for hours it seems and I just can't find further help on restoration/reset. Side note: was my daughters old iPOD and she does not remember what the password is. Ugh... teenagers! thanks ahead of time.

No reason for an Apple store visit. It not an ID problem at all
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

Apple TV (2nd gen) suddenly will not let me get onto network.

I have tried resetting my Apple TV and router; I can usually see the network name when I go to connect, but it will not connect when I put in password. Is there a setting I'm missing somewhere? I have Windstream internet service and recently made some changes with the internet service, so I am guessing a configuration is off somehow. Apple TV will let me to go Troubleshooting but only tells me things to check; will not let me into the IP Address settings etc. I am stumped.

Photos will not display properly in pdf

I'm on Windows XP, just bought Adobe Presenter recently, so I should be all up to date.
In PowerPoint, everything works fine when I play a slideshow - my animations show up, all my photos are there, everything's peachy.
When I publish a pdf using Adobe Presenter, suddenly my photos do not show up in the slides. However, if I go to Thumb view on the sidebar in the pdf, I can see the photos on the thumbnail slides. So why are they not showing up in the actual slides in the pdf? All the text, etc. shows up, although our logo at the bottom of the page also fails to show up in the pdf slides, although I can see it in the thumbnail slides in the pdf.
I should mention that I'm viewing the pdf using Adobe Reader 10.0.
I'm hoping there is a quick fix for this, but I haven't found it by searching the forums.
Secondarily, my transitional animations don't play in the pdf. I'm not as concerned about this, but I don't understand why it's happening and would like to figure out how to change it eventually.
Thank you for any help you can give! I'm supposed to get a first draft to client by tonight, so the sooner the better. Thanks so much!

Okay, so I re-read your original post and believe I misunderstood your problem.
You said:
"In PowerPoint, everything works fine when I play a slideshow - my animations show up, all my photos are there, everything's peachy.

1. Do you mean that the photos tied to your animations/transitions aren't showing up?
2. Are other photos on static (non-animated) slides showing up?

Photo will not display

Everytime I double click on my photo either on the Events or Photos library it becomes a supersized exclamation point. Please help.

That indicated that you have a referenced library (you have unchecked the advanced iPhoto option to "copy imported items tot he iPhoto library") which is not recommended for many reasons - as you see it makes importing photos more difficult - also deleting and makes upgrading/replacing/repairing hardware much more difficult
With a referenced library the original photos must always be available exactly where they were imported from

I-pod nano (2nd generation), Music will not play. HELP

When I go under music and then click songs, my songs list comes up. When a click on a song the artist and title come up but the song does not play. The screen shows the time of the song but nothing plays. I am on vacation and I do not have my music saved where I am at. Is there anyway to fix this without resetting everything and losing my music. Thank you

that's kinda a had question... but here goes!
my thought is that either the files aren't encoded correctly to be played on the iPod nano, or the power from the iPod isn't reaching the earbuds.
The first thing, have you tried a different set of earbuds? it may be an issue of the headphones.
Second, if that doesn't work, when you get back, check your computer to make sure the songs you want are one of the following: AAC (M4A, M4B, M4P, up to 320 Kbps), Apple Lossless (a high-quality compressed format), MP3 (up to 320 Kbps), MP3 Variable Bit Rate (VBR), WAV, AA (audible.com spoken word, formats 2, 3, and 4) and AIFF files.
This could be the problem. Check the Info menu of different songs in iTunes to find out the coding of the song.
If all fails, take the iPod to an Apple Store, there may be an underlying problem with the nano.
good luck!

Itunes crashes on addition of artwork to movie folder and apple tv (2nd generation) will not see itunes while itunes plays playlist over wireless network to airport express??

I have 4 non apple pc exhibiting same issue. Whether you have ten movies on board the pc or 500 on external storage Itunes locks up after you "get info" and try to add video cover from IMDB whether the art is in my pictures on PC or off USB key / external storage. Very frustrating to the extent that I bought a macbook thinking that it may be a non apple issue and bingo same issue whether films on macbook or on nas/ external usb. Effectively itunes may be made to crash by adding artwork!
2nd Issue noticed at weekend I have a small music library of approx. 35gb music in itunes music folder when a playlist was being played within itunes and airplay was selected to an airport express that is connected to distributed music system in house all works well during party. Guest have access to DJ app via remote app or control of content being player. My kids disappeared into the front room and while playlist on notices 2 things. The ipod touch ( 4 mths old) would not connect to apple tv player 2nd generation while airplay on to music system and the infra red remote remote worked fine but apple tv would not see video files in itunes while airplay on. When airplay disabled all absolutley fine , re- enabled airplay and apple tv bumped again. I have a wireless N router and have successfully had 2 apple tv 2nd generation working off itunes video files without issue. There are delays but both are seen in remote app and both players see itunes folders. I would have thought video streaming to apple tv players sucked up more bandwidth that one airplay to airport express and one apple tv 2nd gen.
Anyone experienced same

OK - I managed to fix this. Will document for others.
I started to think it was a firewall thing. So I turned off both my Windows 7 firewall and my BT Home hub firewall. It started working!
So turned back on the BT home hub firewall - still working. So it must be a windows 7 firewall.
Went in and checked that Itunes was there as an exception... Yep. So why still not working?
Found out that the entry in my Windows 7 firewall said I-Tunes - but when you looked at the details button it wasnt pointing to a program - it was just blank.
So added a new entry and pointed that at the I-Tunes exe file.
Now all working...
