Apple TV and iPhoto Library

Since I have dowloaded the latest update to Apple TV,  I now find that I cannot access my photo library from "Computers".    When I do this, all I get is the iTunes library.   Does anyone know if I need to change any settings or has this feature been withdrawn?  I cannot use the mirroring feature because my iMac is a late 2009 model.

Thanks IPuzzled1,   I tried this but it does not work for me.    I have since discovered that the problem is with iPhoto following update to version 9.4.   Other posts on these support forum are saying there is a bug in this update. As a result of the bug, the iPhoto library does not appear in the itunes library.  It seems the problem is not with Apple TV but the iPhoto.   I suppose I shall have to wait unitl Apple release a fix to this bug.

  • Common itunes and iphoto library across many apple devices & users using AExtreme?

    Is it possible to maintain a common itunes library and iphoto library shared across multiple users and multiple devices in a home via airport extreme or via airport express and a NAS?

    i realized that an itunes library folder is different from an itunes media folder although the later resides in the former. turns out while each user account with apple should have its own library they can point to the same media folder.
    right now i have my dad and my itunes library on my mac point to the same media folder inside /Users/Shared and that way we are able to access the same music and movies for our iphones and ipads.
    i guess now all we need to do is move this to a network drive and make itunes point there.

    You probably have to run one or all of the IPHOTO resets/repairs over your library.   Its in IPHOTO help which keys you have to hold down while opening IPHOTO.
    Sorry don't remember which keys.

  • About Safari cache and iPhoto library fragmentation...

    Some days back, with the help of iDefrag I found out that my entire HD was badly fragmented inspite of having 95GBs free space. So I decided to do what an average mac user does to fix this... I backed up everything my my TM drive and restore the entire from there. Then I ran iDefrag and things were neat. A lot of my speed related issues are not solved.
    However, I do notice that Safari cache and iPhoto library are always reported as fragmented portions on the HD by iDefrag. Infact, I often see the colored ball - wait indicator when switching tabs in safari or when I work with photos in iPhoto. I dont mind clearing the cache of safari. i'm somewhat worried about my iPhoto library. I have all my personal and family pics in one library as thats easier to maintain.
    I just want to know what is the ideal thing for a mac user to do here...
    PS: noticed that even linux virtual disk of vmware is completely fragmented, which i made after i restored with TM.

    Watch your CPU usage via the +Activity Monitor+ app (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
    When it starts, select either +All Processes+ or +Active Processes+ in the toolbar, and sort the list by the +% CPU+ column, so the highest numbers are on top, and select the CPU tab towards the bottom.
    For this purpose, also select +View > Update Frequency > Less Often+ from the Menubar.
    Various processes will "spike" up and down normally as they do things, then are idle, so you need to watch it for a while and get a feel for the processes that are using the most CPU, and the +% Idle+ at the bottom.
    When the slowdown occurs, see if something changes significantly, especially if the +% idle+ goes to near zero. If that happens, see what process(es) are using the most CPU.
    If the process(es) involved aren't familiar to you, post their names here (and or check this out: http://triviaware.com/macprocess/all)
    You may also want to select the +System Memory+ tab towards the bottom. Keep an eye on the total of Free and Inactive memory (if they're near zero, you may need more), and the +Page outs+ (if that's high, it's another indication you may need more memory).
    And see this Apple Support article: Mac OS X: Reading system memory usage in Activity Monitor

    Updated MacBook air to 10.10.3. Can I remove iPhoto and iPhoto Library now or I should better wait until migration process will handle the question?

    Yes, I've done it some minutes ago.
    I have backup of all my info on external drive and in Google Drive. Just what I want - delete unnecessary data from my small MacBook Air drive.
    Will new MacOS delete all old staff automatically?

  • Share one iTunes and iPhoto library between 2 computers

    I have a network with an iMac and a G5 and I'd like to use a ethernet hard drive to store a common iTunes music and iPhoto library so either computer uses the same files and isn't depending upon the other computer being turned on (so I think this rules out a firewire or USB external drive). Any suggestions. Both computers would need read/write access to the ethernet hard drive. Thanks.

    If you turn on iTunes sharing in the network settings and then point each copy of iTunes to that ethernet HD, it should be fine.

  • New iMac or new Mac Mini... and iPhoto Library separate drive?

    I have a 2007 iMac Intel Core Duo 2.4Ghz (4 meg RAM) with a hard drive in need of repair, according to Disk Utility (and repeated by DriveGenius 3.)  The Repair option is not available.  I have had occasional difficulty with this particular Mac, and this is actually my second hard drive,and it is out of warranty.  I had already planned to replace this computer later this year.
    In attempting to download and install Lion OS, the install failed, and the computer became essentially inoperable.  I was able to use Time Machine to get it back running, but cannot repair what is surely a damaged HD.  Apple Support came to the same conclusion.
    I have become interested in a few goals:  (1) To purchase a Mac Mini along with an Apple Thunderbolt monitor (when available) in order to separate my CPU from my monitor.  (2) I want to separate my media files from a CPU hard drive for safety, for the very problem I am experiencing now.  (3) I want to make my iPhoto library and iMovie library available to my wife – perhaps on an external dedicated drive - for her newer iMac, to various iPhones and iPads, and to two Apple TV units. 
    We have a home network with an Airport Extreme, and several Ethernet outlets.  Both iMac’s currently use Western Digital external drives for Time Machine backups.  I have another external Seagate drove solely for my iMovie files.  I just purchased a Time Capsule 2TB (but have not yet opened) with the idea that this would be where the “shared” iPhoto library resides.
    My questions –
    Would you recommend using a Mac Mini + monitor, or go with a new iMac (my current iMac is my third and the only one that has given me some problems.)  I do not have any specialized use of my computer beyond the common iLife applications.
    I want my photos and videos to be easily available to my family on their Apple devices (I’m the only one with the significant family photo library) and I haven’t quite devised a plan to accomplish that.  Can you make suggestions?
    Thanks for any assistance you can offer.

    Currently the Library is on EHD 1 and you want to copy it to EHD2?
    Connect them both to the iMac. Make sure EHD2 formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)  and drag the iPhoto Library from EHD 1 to EHD 2
    To open either Library with iPhoto 11: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
    It will update the Library to the new formats. Remember once you do this the older versions of iPhoto will no longer be able to read it.

  • Hard drive to airport extreme for time machine and iPhoto library

    Can I buy an external hard drive and connect to my airport extreme to be used to host my iPhoto library. Meaning that no mater what Mac I upload an image to iPhoto in, it is referencing the same library on an external drive.

    While you can do this as Kappy points out, there a few details that you might want to consider before you make the move.
    1) Time Machine backups to a drive at the USB port of the AirPort Extreme are not supported by Apple. While this does seem to work for some users, others (like me) have difficulty with corruption issues. The bottom line is that this is not a reliable method to back up your important data....and, no support or help from Apple if you do have difficulties.
    Reference this Apple Support Document to confirm:
    "Time Machine can’t back up to an external disk connected to an AirPort Extreme......"
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.6/en/15139.html
    2) If you move the iPhoto library to the hard drive attached to the AirPort Extreme....your original or master library now resides on that disk.....and you have no backup for the library.....when, not if.....the drive has a problem.
    3) You might want to post in the iPhoto forum to ask if it is still an iPhoto requirement that only one user at a time can have iPhoto open with the shared library arrangement.

  • Time Machine and iPhoto library move

    Hi,
    I've been mulling over moving my iPhoto library (85gb) to an external drive for a while now to save some space on my iMac's internal drive. I wondered what affect this might have on my Time Machine backup as my TM drive has only 8gb available. Now, I know TM will delete old backups to free up space but I wondered if TM would even see this as new data because I will be pointing iPhoto to the new library, so will TM backup the entire 87gb, or will it see it as the same library and only backup new, or changed data from now on?
    I haven't been able to find an answer to this so I just decided to go ahead and do it, and, I'm confused. I now have an old iPhoto library on my internal drive which is no longer used and will be deleted in due course, and a new, current library on my external drive. I included the volume in the TM prefs and started a backup.
    TM came up with this: 29/10/2013 16:08:06.573 com.apple.backupd: 192.08 GB required (including padding), 8.14 GB available
    Why does it require 192gb? it then preceeded to (slowly) delete older backups, freeing up a small amount of space with each one. After deleting about 15 backups, I stopped it cos I didn't like where it was going.
    Then, I decided to exclude the new volume just to see what would happen. This time it said: 29/10/2013 18:16:48.085 com.apple.backupd: 101.39 GB required (including padding), 31.81 GB available
    Where has this 100gb come from?
    Edit: I have just noticed that I renamed the old library to differentiate it from the new one. Would that have triggered TM to backup the whole library again? Even if that's the case, that's 85gb, plus the new volume, another 85gb, totalling 170gb. So why did it need 192gb for both and 100gb for one?
    Not sure what to do now as I don't really want to lose too many more old backups.
    Can anybody help me work this out? And, once worked out, will TM allow me to 'go back' in iPhoto to restore from previous backups?
    Thanks

    Yes I'm aware of the Pondini site and its extremely helpful, but in this case it doesn't answer my question.
    To update the original post, I renamed my old library back to 'iPhoto Library' and, I guess, because it hadn't completed a backup of the library with the 'iPhoto Library - Old' name, it the potential 100gb backup reverted back down to around 7gb.
    So, lesson learned; do not rename the iPhoto library.
    My question that remains is will the iPhoto library on the external drive offer the incremental backups in time that the original library did? Or will I effectively lose all those backups?
    Thanks,

  • Copy iTunes and iPhoto library to new air mac

    I've just bought a new air mac. I have my entire music and photo library on my imac - which is running snow leopard. I back the imac up to a 1tb time machine.
    I tried to use migration assistant over wireless to migrate info to my air mac but this failed - as expected over wireless.
    I ideally want to copy over itunes, iphoto , files and folders and my windows for mac to the air mac and retain them on my imac.
    Is there an easy way to copy my information to my new air mac ?
    There seems to be lots of hacks and options but I'm not usre which is the best way ?

    Perhaps this will help: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301748.
    Your iPhoto library is located in the /Home/Pictures/ folder. If you've already migrated the home folder then everything has been moved including the iTunes library which is in the /Home/Music/ folder.

  • Syncing Apple TV  and iPhoto

    I am trying to sync my iPhoto library to my Apple TV, the progress bar in iTunes says Syncing "Apple TV", but it is not actually showing the files syncing, and my MBP fan is running and my Apple TV is hot, and it is taking way too long. Did anyone else have this happen? Does it just take a long time for it to sync? Thanks!

    I have a 25,000 library of photos in iphoto and syncing isn't happening. I noticed that the librarys would show the size of the library while it appeared to by syncing and then they would disappear. sooo after trying this several more time... I rebuilt my iphoto. (also ran permissions...)
    Still not syncing.
    I created a completely new iphoto imported some photos into it and that is working great.
    I also had luck with aperture.
    If anybody comes up with why my larger library is having problems, I would love to use that one instead.

  • BUG: iPhoto 9 Slideshow - Text Slide Bugs and iPhoto Library Corruption

    I was wondering if anyone else has run into the following issues:
    I have had multiple issues with iPhoto crashing, stop responding, and database corruption where I cannot open iPhoto. These issues all began when I tried to use the new themed slideshow in iPhoto v9.1. Previously, I had only used iPhoto to create basic slideshows with iPhoto v7.x. I was hoping that I would be able to create my masterpiece in iPhoto 11 (v9.1) but I have only been frustrated by my attempts so far.
    What should have been a 3 - 4 hour operation has become a 20 hour nightmare and I still don't have a slideshow to show for my efforts. This has been one of my most disappointing uses of Apple software ever.
    Repeatable, reproducible bugs that I have run into include:
    1. Deleting a photo that appears in the timeline before a sub-title causes havoc with subsequent sub-titles (a.k.a. Text Slides). Subsequent subtitles are randomly copied to pictures following the one it was assigned to. Further, there is no subtitle icon in the timeline and the photos have to be manually modified to eliminate the subtitle. Work around is click the "Text Slide" button
    2. Zooming and/or image placement is not preserved and not visible when previewed, exported, or iPhoto is closed and then reopened.
    3. The iPhoto Library becomes corrupt and permissions problems prevent me from working with my photos. This happens while working on slideshow. I have had to rebuild my library and repair permissions no less than five times since I started working on my slideshow.

    iPhoto's slideshow feature is fine but no tool for a "masterpiece".
    Alternatives to iPhoto's slideshow include:
    iMovie, on every Mac sold, as is iDVD.
    Others, in order of price:
    PhotoPresenter $29
    PhotoToMovie $49.95
    PulpMotion $129
    FotoMagico $29 (Home version) ($149 Pro version, which includes PhotoPresenter)
    Final Cut Express $199
    It's difficult to compare these apps. They have differences in capability - some are driven off templates. some aren't. Some have a wider variety of transitions. Others will have excellent audio controls. It's worth checking them out to see what meets your needs.
    However, there is no doubt that Final Cut Express is the most capable app of them all. You get what you pay for.

  • Need help restoring iTunes Library and iPhoto Library after re-install???

    some history, my 5 1/2 year old iMac started as Tiger, upgrade to Leopard and then to Snow Leopard...the latter being done after Snow Leopard came to market. Over a week ago I developed a Disk error that could not be fixed by the repair disk and everything else that Apple could come up with. The iMac at this point was pretty unresponsive. (It had been running great for years) Anyhow the decision was made to do a complete restore. Time Machine had made a backup just the previous day or two earlier plus I have close to 2 years of other SL backups. So per Apple, we did a full install of Leopard followed by a upgrade to Snow Leopard, followed by installing all the updates. We then reinstalled iWorks (with iTunes and iPhoto) and installed those updates as well. So now I had an empty itunes and iPhoto.....Now it gets confing for me! It was late at night and the Apple folks were shutting down. They simply said, Go to your last Time Machine back up date and hit restore and you will be all set. Well...what ever it restored, I can't find my music or photos. I called the next night, again it was late and we only had a short time but this person had me do a system Migration...to restore everything back to the way it was before......So now I have 100 gigs of everything I recognize from my applications to all the stuff in my User file and it would appear everthing else. The problem is....I can't find my old iPhoto library or my itunes library anywhere and I am scared to death that I have lost them despite all my Time Machine Back-ups. Worried and concerned!!! Bill

    Yay/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    If you need to, you should be able to selective restore things from later backups, via the "Star Wars" display. See #15 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum)., if you're not sure how to do that.
    I am going to watch like a hawk and if it does occur then I know I probably have some HD issues.
    Good plan. You might want to run this: [Intel-based Macs: Using Apple Hardware Test|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1509]. Run the Extended tests.
    I also think I may do something like a Carbonite back-up in addition to my external HD.
    That will be excruciatingly slow. See #27 in the FAQ for some other suggestions.

  • Aperture and iPhoto Library

    Hello,
    I played with aperture @ the store. But i noticed i have to import pictures from the iPhoto library in the Aperture library. So i have the pictures twice on the disk. Isnt it possible to make Aperture use the iPhoto library?
    Thank you in advance
    Edgar

    Well , it would be great to do someting like that. I
    like aperture a lot, but then again, if i want to use
    iWeb i need iPhoto again and same with the other
    dedicated Apple programms. The integration is always
    handy.
    Is there a special reason why apple didnt add this
    support for sharing librarys? Because aperture can
    import the raw foto from the camera?
    Well, I think it's because they really wanted the ability to do a lot of complex editing without taking up extra room on the HD if they did not need to. In iPhoto all edits are stored directly in am image file whereas in Aperture they let you make a lot more editing choices and saving each one as an image (especially a non-JPG image) would just take up a huge amount of choice.
    In the future I think they'll offer an API so other programs can see thumbnails from an Aperture library as well, and also export individual images from it even if they are just versions. At the moment things will just have to be a little more manual with Aperture for a while - though I think you can alleviate that by exporting a project when you are finished editing in Aperture - take the exported set of JPG's that you then store in an iPhoto library and use like you normally would with iPhoto. That would take up more space but the good news is that keywords you assign in Aperture are automatically picked up by iPhoto on import, so you can still search in iPhoto by keyword, and then you can make use of any images in iPhoto in exactly the same way as you normally would.
    If you use the new ability of iPhoto to reference files in place you could create an export directory and replace the files there on the fly from Aperture if you re-edited them. You'd have to remove them first as Aperture will not overwrite files on export.

  • Aperture 2 and iPhoto library

    I know one can import the iPhoto library into the Aperture projects pane.
    and have it as referenced images.
    If you then add an delete images via the iPhoto application, how do you update the iPhoto images seen in Aperture?

    Not the hugest fan of iPhoto (it suddenly slows with medium big libraries, around 10% of Apple's stated max)) but apart from Front Row...
    In iPhoto you can successfully view and scan panoramas in full-screen, zoomed as far or as little as you want, even if the files are big. In Aperture you can't really do this, and the zoom range is inappropriate. The navigator in iPhoto is streets ahead, as is the one in Lightroom. The Aperture Navigator is designed for normal aspects and small files - it gets laughably small, with big files, or long photos, and has not been coded to be smart about this kid of picture. And Aperture is too manly in its minimal appearance to show you a ghost of the image behind the tiny nav, like LR and iP, both of which are much faster in practice for this kind of thing.
    And in iPhoto, workaday exporting is ten times faster.
    Guys I am finding this "Aperture is for men, iPhoto is for women and children" stuff a good reason not to use the prog. Aperture is for men with lots of free time! The sliders in 2.1 are still like pulling a car with your teeth, compared to the competition, once two or three adjustments are in play.
    best
    Paul
