Apple Tv duplication of photo's

I selctively sync my smart photo folders from Aperture to Aplle TV (1St generation). The problem i having is that Apple TV is duplicating a number of ramdom photo's.
For example if i had say 50 photo's in a smart folder, Apple TV is showing 65, including 15 duplicates!
I have tried reseting Apple TV, but the problem still exists.
Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated

The same thing happened to me and after a lot of faffing around found that my Intego Virus Barrier was blocking the actual transmission of data although I could see my library under Computers in ATV. I have now uninstalled Intego and my ethernet based network works fine. Do you have any third party software?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Most of us do not have this problem and can connect to our libraries on demand, it would therefor seem reasonable to assume that the issue lies somewhere other than iTunes or the Apple TV, my first thought is network issues, have you done anything to ensure it's not your network.

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

Apple TV sorts my photos only in ascending order, how can I change so the most recent EVENTS appear first?

I'm looking for an answer to this, too, since I have thousands of Events, and so scrolling down to the bottom every time I want to show my newest photos makes it almost unusable.

Duplication of Photos between iPhoto & Aperture / Memory Issues

Is there a way for iPhoto & Aperture to share the same photos, so that there is not a duplication of photos and too greatly reduce memory space for those of us with large libraries????

iPhoto only imports the files from your card, in exactly the same condition as they exist on the card. It does not duplicate. It does not reduce quality or lose pixels. Check your camera's manual. The most likely cause of the duplication is that your camera gives you a simultaneous RAW and jpeg (or tiff) file for each photo you shoot. Your camera probably has a control where you can turn this feature off.
You can check your camera card. Click on the Finder's icon in the dock. Your card should be listed as an external drive in the left column of the Finder window, somewhere below your Macintosh HD. Set the Finder window to column view and click on your card to display its contents. My bet is that you will see the duplication there, before you ever import to your library. Click on a file to see its information in the next column; you can check the pixel dimensions if they are reported there with the Preview.
I import from a card reader as well. You can ignore the initial iPhoto "Importing" screen and click back on Library in the Source Pane. Choose File > Import to Library, then navigate to the camera card. You can preview the files on the card, select only the ones you wish to import, and import directly into the iPhoto library. This gives you complete control over your imports and prevents you from importing duplicates.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts.

When we attach photos to an email in the Apple Mail app, the photos appear tiny on gmail accounts. They are unable to download the file as the size sent. We have tested this in multiple gmail accounts and we have tried sending as different sizes and actual size with no difference. Other photos attached in other ways come through fine. This seems to be a a result of the recent iphotos to photos app update.
Please advise on if this is a bug with how mail is ending the photos or how gmail is receiving them.

Try using Mail as the email client for iPhoto and see if that will fix the problem:

Apple TV (1st gen) photos in an Event not in date order

I have synced selected Events from iPhoto to my Apple TV 1st gen with iTunes 11.0.1
The events synced are "merged" events from 2 cameras on a month-by-month basis.
In iPhoto, I have the event sorted by date, but on the Apple TV, the photos are NOT in date order.
How can I get the Apple TV to reflect the choice I make in iPhoto ??

Thanks Winston

My Apple TV sees my photos on PC but not my iTunes library?

I am in Dubai and my iTunes account is a US account. I have a very new Sony Vaio running windows 8. I have a brand new apple TV. I have a Dlink Router that goes into a Sitelink extender/repeater in the living Room. As the TV is in the living room i am signed into the repeater. I have set up home sharing on both Laptop and ATV.
I cannot see my iTunes library. BUT the very strange thing is that I can see photos from my PC on Apple TV (Sony Library) but the iTunes library doesn't show up. I am using same iTunes account for TV and Laptop.
Things I have done
1. Turned off Kaspersky
2. Turned off Windows firewall
3. Un-checked IPv6 box in Network Adapter settings for both wireless and LAN
4. Restarted ATV, Itunes, and Laptop numerous times
5. Looked to make sure Bonjour is allowed for firewall
6. Read several dozen articles
I have about 6 hours sunk into this thing and am considering just taking it back.

Managed to get this fixed tonight. Followed the instructions here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1451 to recreate the library file from the xml file and all looks good now!

I updated the photos that share with Apple TV but old photos display during music

I updated the photo file that shares with Apple TV, and they display correctly when I play the slide show, but when they play slideshow with music playing it's the old photo file. How do I get the new photos to display during music? Thanks

Not sure what you are trying to do, but the photo is just cached. You might try restarting ATV and see if that will foruce a cache relaod.
What is it you did? Did you update an image, cover art, photo stream? It could also be that what ever you updated it not what is being displayed. For instacne if you updated something in iPhoto, but are pointing to Photostream that will not have an effect. Same problme if you are looking at cover art while the music is playing.

Apple TV to access photos and music from drive attached to airport extreme

I have photos and music stored on external drive attached to Airport extreme. I would like to access them from my Apple TV. I know that I can store them on a computer using iTunes but I do not want to keep the computer on.
Any help will be appreciated.

No. The Apple TV will ignore it.

Comparison of Apple, Blurb, and MyPublisher photo books

I put together three photo books with the same 75 pictures -- one directly from Aperture to Apple, one from Blurb, and one from MyPublisher.
For MyPublisher, I used their super high-gloss paper and the lay-flat pages to let them show off their top of the line.
In short, the Apple Book is the best. The colors are correct and the exposures are perfect. The layout is very customizable and easy to use.
The Blurb book would look great if it wasn't compared to the other two. The color is a bit greenish in all the photos, which shows up most in the skintones, of course. The customizable themes and pages are great; the "ornaments" on the pages are cool.
The MyPublisher book also looks great, but (1) the photos are all a bit dark and (2) the page layouts are very simplistic and hard to customize. The background colors for each page are very simplistic (i think I could have made them more subtle with a lot of work), which renders the book a little too primary-school-ish, if you know what I mean.
The prices were all very similar (50 bucks, more or less, including shipping, for a 35-page book), but I paid extra for the MyPublisher high gloss and lay-flat options (about 72 bucks total). And on your first order, MyPublisher sends you two books for the price of one. So that's cool.
All in all, I'm very impressed with the Apple book. In addition to the best photo quality of the three, it's the only one that both prints your pictures on the actual cover and adds a dust jacket with the pictures on it. They also send a cardboard "sleeve" for the book, which is a nice touch.
These pics were from 2010, so I know where I'm sending my BIG 2011 photo book -- Apple, direct from Aperture.

Thanks for the report! Good to know -- and information that is not easily obtained. .

Can apple tv2 show raw photo files

Using Apple tv2 in a windows 7 home network environment. Music files and photo files (both JPEG and RAW files) stored on Synology network disk.
Typically I shoot photos in Canon Camera Raw format and store. My wife shoots in JPEG format.
We are using the screensaver in apple tv to show our photos, and it's not obvious whether I need to convert the raw files over to jpeg in order for those photos to show on the slide show when apple tv is operating.
Can apple tv display raw format photo files?

Whatever iTunes does to populate the AppleTV2 with user photos I have no doubt it will not be sending the original images, only derivatives thereof - if Windows can natively decode these RAW files I suspect iTunes uses them 'As Shot' and then downscales to a lower quality compressed version to send to the AppleTV - if it did not do this AppleTV would not be able to hold many photos from modern cameras due to their resolution and file sizes which would particularly be an issue with RAW files.
AppleTV has 8GB of solid state memory - we don't know how much is available for photos and other tasks, but depending on the camera I doubt you'd get that many RAWs to it if it transferred them as is.
Bear in mind AppleTV 2 can only output 720p quality max which equates to a resolution of 1280x720 so having photos much larger than that (maybe add 50-100% to allow for zooms) is probably not going to help in terms of visual quality.
You might not want a set of redundant smaller JPGs just for AppleTV but they probably wouldn't that much space if you batch processed them to a suitable size.

On apple tv why are photos too large on slideshow

I set up album in my iphoto,
selected it on apple tv
why are some photos too large and chopping off top of photos?

When you first sync photos to your iPod, or everytime you add new photos, iTunes goes through a process of optimizing your photos for the iPod before actually sync'ing. You can see it countdown on the screen. The results are kept in the "iPod Photo Cache" folder.
I was under the impression that this optimizing was more a process of collecting together 25 thumbnails and putting them together in a single file together so that it enabled the ipod to show 25 pictures at once with the option to select one.. Are you sure the thumbnails are actually altered in any way.

Apple TV loses synched Photos after iTunes restarts

Everytime I restart my iTunes Server ( Mac mini with iTunes program- attached external drive with iTunes content) all my synched photos on Apple TV are gone and I have to synch again. Happened also before Apple TV 3.0. Why?

I have the same problem with my setup (all Mac OS versions, all Apple TV versions) since I purchased it back in March of 2009. Since then I have gone through all the different versions of Mac OS and the Apple TV OS and I am now on the newest version of everything involved (Apple TV, iTunes, MacOS and iPhoto). Nevertheless, this problem persisted the whole time.
I just got off the phone with Apple and they would look into it if I pay for a one-time support event ($49 or something) since my Apple TV is passed the initial 90 day warranty. If somebody is having this same problem and is within the first 90 days after the purchase or has the Apple Care package for the Apple TV you can call AT NO COST and get this fixed. Can anybody do that and help everybody with this problem? If you have support you can call them or ask them to call you right away, it certainly would be a great help to everybody.
