Apple TV - what happened to photo streaming?

We use (or we used to use) our Apple TV to stream photos from my computer (iPhoto library) to a TV in our kitchen. The way we did this was to choose Computers, then my computer, then Photos. It was set up to change photos every 5 seconds.
The Photos option no longer appears under Computer any more, since this week's Apple TV update.
Why did they take it away? Can I get it back?

As an update, after restarting the ATV, the Photos entry is back when I click on Computer. But when I attempt to use it, it fails, eventually bringing me back to the main menu.
I can stream photos using the screen saver option, clicking Preview. But using the Photos cannot load more than a few dozen photos at a time (a small album, for example).

What happened with photo stream with new update?

I have a iPhone 4s. I just downloaded the newest iOS 8 update. I do not have separate folders for my camera roll and photo stream. Are all my pictures now going to my photo stream? If so is there a way to choose which photos go to photo stream?

In iOS 8, Apple combined "camera roll and Photo Stream" into "recently added" folder.

What happened to Photo Stream?

After updating to ios8 the photo stream and camera roll albums are gone. I opened iCloud on my computer and it says the photo stream folder is empty (I backed up to iCloud and my computer before I updated). Many photos are visible from the collections area but this is inconvenient. Where is the photo stream and camera roll app?

This is not helpful.. What I am asking is.. Why is the photo stream and camera roll album removed from the album page? I have no way to access my old photos other than through the Photos tab which has them grouped by location and date. Also, I cannot access my photo stream photos on my computer.

Received a notice that could not use photo stream unless I updated my software. Went to apple preferences/icloud to disable photo stream. Not allowed to do so. What do I do to disable so I won't continue to receive annoying messages from apple/icl

I think you can solve your problems by removing your AppleID email address from BOTH the Messages setting on your iPhone and the iMessages settings on your Mac.
On iPhone:
Settings > Messages > iMessage > Dissabled
Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > touch the "(i)" < touch "Remove This Email"
On Mac:
Open "Messages" application
Click "Messages menu > Preferences
Click "Accounts"
Select your AppleID account
Under the "You can be reached for messages at" settings, uncheck your AppleID email address and your phone number
Then uncheck the "Enable this account" setting
And lastly, ask all of your friends with iPhones to delete all iMessage conversations (blue bubbles) in their entirety.
To test, send a friend a new text using their phone number (not their email address) and watch the color of the bubble. If it's green then you are using SMS.

HT201317 updating apple tv gives error in photo stream

After updating my Apple TV2 to 5.1 Photo Stream no longer works on Apple TV.
It demands "accept new terms om conditions... for iCloud", but nowhere it is possible to fins the accept page.
I have iPhone 4 with iOS 5..1.1 and PC(Vista) with iTunes updated recently. When axessing Setup in iPhone for iCloud, no accept YES/NO for new terms occurs.
What to do?? Where is the bug?
Sweden, language Swedish. Visa account Swedish.

Thank for you the quick reply...
Yes, I have setup to default to the USA...
And I have also setup Apple TV to connect to the US Itunes store.
I have not changed anything, but it seemed to correct itself just a minute ago.
Weird.
I changed nothing, then it starting working by itself.
Bug?

I bought a HD and the Itunes Stores say that the movie (Pretty Women) has Itunes Extras. Why I can not find it? It is a mistake from Apple? What happen if I buy the movie because the Extras and now I can not watch it? I have an Ipad last generation.

What version of iOS do you have on your iPad (Settings > General > About > Version), and is it connected to wifi ?
From Buy and play movies with iTunes Extras - Apple Support :
Here’s what you need to stream the new iTunes Extras:
Mac using OS X Mavericks v10.9.3 or later and iTunes 11.3 or later
PC using iTunes 11.3 or later
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation or later) using Apple TV software 6.2 or later
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iOS 8 or later (You need to connect to Wi-Fi. Extras won't appear if you're connected to a cellular network.)
An active Internet connection
You can use the steps below on your Apple TV, Mac, PC, or iOS device for any purchased, HD movie that features Extras:
On your Apple TV, select Movies, then select your movie to see the Extras menu. Extras aren't available from the Computer tile on Apple TV (Home Sharing).
On your Mac or PC, open iTunes and go to the Movies section in your iTunes library. Double-click your movie. If there's no Internet connection, the Extras menu will be skipped. The movie will immediately play if you already downloaded it.
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap the Videos app, then tap your movie. If you're connected to the Internet via Wi-Fi, the Extras menu will appear.

i have 2 apple ids and one is from years ago when icloud wasnt a thought but now somehow it became my primary apple id and i cant photo stream with the apple id i use. Even if im signed into my old one the photo stream doesnt automatically go to my mac. Im not exactly technology savy but id love to figure this out.

I have also noticed the same "problem". I do not fully understand the impact of using the same ID on multiple computers and devices if I want to keep them all in sync.

HT201317 What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

What happens to photos stored after 30 days on icloud?

Photos are deleted from PhotoStream in the cloud after 30 days, regardless of the number of photos stored there.
Once synced to your device, they will remain there indefinitely until you hit 1000 photos in the PhotoStream album on the phone, at which point the oldest photos will be deleted and newer photos will replace them.

What exactly is photo stream?

I have just upgraded to lion on my iMac and had already brought my iphone and ipad up to iso5. I turned on photo stream and a few other things in icloud, like notes, etc, but not contacts or book marks, I don't want all of them from my imac on my phone so I am waiting to see if Apple will change this in a future version.
I open iphoto and saw a picture I wanted to move on to my iphone. So I dragged it to the photo stream on the side bar of iphoto. When I clicked on photo stream, there were already 12 photos in there. Some were photos I had deleted from iphoto on my imac earlier today. I was suprised to see them there and tried to delete them. They would not delete. So I did a search here and see a LOT of questions on how to delete photos from photo stream, most with no answer. I did find where to reset my photo stream, under my name at the top right of icloud when I logged on to icloud on my iMac. But when I go to my iphone and look in photostream, inside photos, there is no way to delete a photo. Also, in itunes on my iMac, photo stream shows up on the left sidebar under recent, but I cannot delete any photos from there. Like others, there are photos in photo stream that I don't want.
Then as I think about it, I am wondering, if we are all a bit confused. Maybe photo stream is JUST a 'pathway' for moving photos between our devices and whatever is in the photo stream, as apples says, sits there for 30 days and then 'falls off' the 'pathway' so to speak, and that the pictures 'live on' in each of our devices, ie the photo library on our iphone and ipad and in iphoto on our home computer (imac, laptop, etc.) It may be that we are all confusing what photo stream is and is not. If it is just a mechanisim (pathway in my description) for moving photos between devices, then it would make some sense that the photos will not delete. They stay there for 30 days to give us time to move them into folders on the i device or the home computer.
My next question is how do photos get INTO photo stream in the first place? does every photo we take with either the iphone or ipad, go into photo stream? And does it also go into the camera roll?

What is shared photo stream data shown under in iTunes?

Is data from shared photo streams on my iPhone shown under the "Photos" or the "Other" category in iTunes? I'm trying to figure out why my "other" category has gotten huge. I know that this may be any number of acutal issues, and that there are forums for those, but I have recently added some large shared photo streams and am wondering if that could be it. I have been unable to find the answer to this question already on the forum.
Anyone know?

According to Apple's documentation, there's no limit (I still find that hard to accept, but they have said so). You mention using is as a backup - NEVER rely on icloud for backing up photos, ALWAYS sync then to a computer for safekeeping and storage, as you would save photos from a camera. Too many users have lost photos performing restores from an icloud backup.
Apple's docs indicate that shared photo streams do not count towards your icloud storage limit (also hard to believe, but there you go). Friends cannot add photos to your stream, they can only make comments.
icloud stores the photos and downloads them individually when you tap on a thumbnail pic. Note that you have no control over the sorted appearance of the photos.

Apple ID for sharing through photo stream

How to tell which email of my friends emails is the Apple ID?
I'm trying to use share photo stream butI don't know which email to choose for the invitation as some people have several emails, awhatever email you choose is blue to it's not like iMessage that you can tell from the bubble color.
Thanks in advance.

Well Mr, if you feel very strongly about yours, you can feedback Apple here www.apple.com/feedback. If you see it integrated later, means enough people wanted that same convenience.
If you think that what I'm asking is hard to do, we will still be using dial-up networks

I can't remember my apple id and apple can't find me if I create a new apple id what happens?

My daughter can't remember her Apple ID and for some reason Apple can't find her ID. It's suggesting she create a new Apple ID if she does that what happens? She's worried she will lose the items she has purchased. Oh and somehow her IPOD touch 4th gen got linked onto her sisters account so it doesn't show the username unfortunately when you try to purchase something. I can't find where I wrote all this down either

Is there a way to find my Apple ID Name if I can't remember it?
Yes. Visit My Apple ID and click Find your Apple ID. See Finding your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
How do I change or recover a forgotten Apple ID Password?
If you've forgotten your Apple ID Password or want to change it, go to My Apple ID and follow the instructions. SeeChanging your Apple ID password if you'd like more information.
If y can't find the old ID/password then you are limited to the things yo can do with items purchased with the account. Like not being able to update apps and transfer purchases.

HT1229 What happens to photos in an album in iPhoto on Mac when upgrading to Yosemite.

What happens to all the photos in iPhoto when upgrading to Yosemite. My pictures are in an album to be made into a photobook with Shutterfly or another service but it is not entirely ready to go. I would not want to loose this album, took me a long time to gather all these pictures (over 200) , edit them and write captions. I understand that Yosemite will eliminate iPhoto. However, I want to know if they will delete iPhoto even if I do not upgrade as yet.

Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store
