Apple TV and selecting iPhoto albums

Thanks

Duplicate Pictures Photo Library and an iPhoto Album

I was trying to get some photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. I created a folder in iPhoto called "iPhone sync" and copied some pictures there. Then I selected iPhoto and that folder to sync in iTunes. Now I have the same pictures in "Photo Library" and the "iPhone Sync" folder (that I created) on my iPhone Photo Albums. Sorry I'm so dense, but how can I:
1. Get photos from iPhoto to the iPhone "Photo Library" without creating the new folder in iPhoto with which to sync - so I don't have two albums with the same pictures in them on my iPhone and,
2. How do I get rid of the "iPhone Sync" folder I created without also deleting the iPhone Photo Album?
Thank you

This is normal, which cannot be changed.
All photos transferred from your computer and iPhoto to your iPhone are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library.
The photos in the iPhoto album include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library - the photos are not duplicated. Just as with iPhoto - all photos in all iPhoto albums are stored in your main iPhoto library. A photo cannot be in an iPhoto album unless the photo is available in your main iPhoto library, and a photo in your main iPhoto library can be in multiple iPhoto albums. The photos in the iPhoto albums are not duplicated - they include a pointer to the original photos stored in your main iPhoto library.
If you select multiple iPhoto albums to be transferred to your iPhone, all photos in all albums are stored in your iPhone's Photo Library. This way you can view all photos available in an album only by selecting the album under the Photo Library on your iPhone, or you can view all photos available in all albums by selecting Photo Library.
iTunes is the same. A song cannot be available in an iTunes playlist unless the song is in your iTunes library, and a song in your iTunes library can be available in multiple playlists. Songs in an iTunes playlist are not duplicated. This way you can listen to the songs in a playlist only by selecting the playlist, or you can listen to all songs in all playlists and/or available in your iTunes library by selecting Music.

Why does my Apple TV mix up iPhoto Album Screensavers

I have my gen 2 Apple TV setup to use either events for albums from iPhoto as my screensaver using the Origami setting. One day I might use Album A as the screen saver, then the next I might use Album B. But I am noticing that the screensaver is mixing up photos. It's displaying photos from Album A and Album B at the same time. I've tried switching the album, and it seems to fix it sometimes, but it eventually happens again. Any ideas why or how I can prevent it from mixing up the albums?

Actually I can thru iTunes, but I want to mirror my deaktop to the TV and I cannot. I have no trouble with my iPad or my iPhone, just my Mac Book Pro... It does not even give me the option. Is there some settings Im missing? HELP

Unable for Apple Store to upload IPhoto album due to "error occured unloading order"

Trying to order IPhot album. When Apple store tries to upload picture I get message "error occured uploading order".

What version of iPhoto? Of the OS?
Are you speaking of a photo book? (an album is an iPhoto organizational element) If so will it preview correctly?
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
If it does and you still can not purchase it boot into safe mode and try

We are fellow users here on these public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support - I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (it's not a good idea to post personal info).
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then steps 1 to 5 on the page that you posted from should let you reset them.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

Edited iphoto album but it deleted my edits and went to original album, any way to recover?

I edited an iphoto album. Macbook shut down and reverted to the original album. Any way to get the edited album back? About 3000 photos.

Go to your Pictures folder and select iPhoto. Enter Time Machine from the menu bar at the top. Once in TM go back in time (on the right side if the window) to the backup just before the problem happened. Select the iPhoto LIbrary and click on the Restore button.

IPhoto albums not appearing in iTunes

Hi
I usuaully can fix these issues myself but this one has me frustrated. I bought a new Mac around 6 months ago and transferred all photos to the new computer. Everything was working perfectly. However, recently I have added photos to iPhoto in a few new albums. Now, when I try to sync photos with my iPad/iPhone all the old albums are there but none of the new ones are shown. I also cannot stream any of the new albums through to my AppleTV as they do not appear.
I have looked into the Home Sharing preferences in iTunes - File>Home Sharing>Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV and the new albums do not appear there either.
I've looked everywhere but cannot see why it does not pick up these new albums. Around the time, I put all my media on an external drive and changed the pathway but it all seems fine for my musice, tv and movies but not photos.
So they albums are in iPhoto but not in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If a new library worked then your current library is damaged. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto album updates / new albums not reflected in ATV

I have an iMac on 10.7.5 and iPhoto 9.4.1 and want to be able to view selected iPhoto albums on my Apple TV. However, changes I make to albums, or new albums I create on iPhoto are not relected on my ATV. Main problem is new albums I create (and check to share in the Sharing window of iPhoto) are not being reflected on ATV. Can anyone help, please.

Larry’s link is not showing correctly:
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 Only*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Apple-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and 10.5* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.

Screen Saver Preference Does Not Include iPhoto Albums

In addition to the second monitor problem discussed in other postings, I have also lost the ability to select iPhoto albums for my screen saver. The last entry in the Screen Saver list (in Preferences) is Aperture - not iPhoto albums. I am still using iPhoto 08 (v7.5.1). Any assistance is appreciated.

You could try moving the two com.apple.screensaverXXXXX.plist files from the Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder to the desktop. You might as well move the com.apple.iphotomosaic.plist while you’re at it. Those files each will have a long string of randomly generated hexidecimal characters in the name before the .plist extension. The Screen Saver will generate new .plist files when you go to the Desktop & Screen Saver pane in System Preferences. I don’t think you need to restart after moving the files, but it couldn’t hurt.
Otherwise, you should continue working with Terence Devlin in the iPhoto forum. He is a genius with iPhoto related issues and has helped solve such problems for me previously.

I have a generation 1 Appletv with the hard drive. I have just bought a new mac, but cant seem, to sync photos back to appletv hard drive anymore, i know the Imac is syncing with it because i purchased a movie from Apple TV and it loaded it reg on iMac

Can anyone help me with a generation1 appletv compatability with new Imac question?

Hi louchad,
The article below should help you sync the photos from your iMac to your Apple TV:
Apple TV (1st generation): Syncing photos via iTunes
The article explains this in more detail with screen shots, but the key points are summarized below for you:
To sync photos from a Mac or Windows PC to Apple TV (1st generation) using photo applications
Make sure you have iTunes 9.0.2 or later.
In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
Click the Photos tab.
Select "Sync photos from: ..."
On a Mac, choose iPhoto or Aperture from the pop-up menu.
On a Windows PC, choose Photoshop Album or Photoshop Elements from the pop-up menu.
Note: Some versions of Photoshop Album and Photoshop Elements don't support collections. You can still use them to sync all your photos.
If you want to sync all your photos, select "All photos, albums, events, and faces." If you want to sync photos from only some albums, events, faces, or collections, choose "Selected albums, events, and faces…" and select the albums or collections you want.
To sync photos from a folder on your hard disk to Apple TV (1st generation)
Drag the images you want into a folder on your computer. If you want images to appear in separate photo albums on Apple TV (1st generation), create folders inside the main image folder, and drag images into the new folders.
In iTunes, select the Apple TV icon in the Devices list.
Choose "Sync photos from: ..."
Select "Choose Folder" from the pop-up menu and select your image folder.
I hope this information helps ...

IPhoto albums not available in screen saver

I was using the "dropping photos" screensaver and an iPhoto album as the source. I installed a new screensaver, but wanted to go back to the photos. But when I tried, none of my iPhoto albums showed up as options. I have Pictures folder and Choose folder, but after that nothing. A minor issue, but it bothers me.

I believe I have a similar problem. I am using OS X 10.5.6 on all machines. No problems selecting an iPhoto album as a screen saver. However, when I try to set an iPhoto album as my Desktop on my MacBook (only happens on the MacBook) via System Preferences it starts to load and then my MacBook freezes and after a short while I receive a message 'The application System Preferences quit unexpectedly' etc. It happens EVERY TIME I try to set an iPhoto album as my Desktop. Does anyone else have this problem, too?
Cheers
