Appletv doesn't see Photos app library, why?

After updating to the new Photos app from iPhoto my apple tv doesn't see my computer's photo library. iTunes doesn't see it either to choose which folders to share for home sharing.
Is this a drawback to the new Photos app?
Thanks

iTunes is up to date, I don't even see the Photos library in the pull down on the home sharing prompt. Is it because my photos library is on an external drive? iPhoto had no problem seeing this. Do I have to go back to iPhoto or will Apple week this?

Do you have the Photos/iCloud preference pane setup for My Photo Stream and Photo Sharing?

Move Location of New Photos App Library

I migrated my Aperture library into the new photos app, and elected to put all my photos into iCloud Photo. The old Aperture library lived on an external HD and when I open the new Photos app without that HD plugged in, it says it cannot find the library. Why am I getting this error message if everything is in iCloud?
How do I change the "library location"? I still want a local copy on an external drive, but if everything is in iCloud, shouldn't the actual location of the library not matter?

That's not how it works, Photos still needs access to your library, Photos puts photos in the cloud but that's not what you see when you open photos, you see the photos stored locally, if they aren't there it won't work.

Apple TV Doesn't See Home Shared Library- All settings are correct. Help?

OK, so, I have two apple tv's, first gen. Both are completely updated. Netflix runs fine on both. Apple TV #1 see's the library on my wife's computer and the library on my computer. Apple TV #2 does not show up on either. However, sometimes it does- it's hit and miss.
I know it's not internet connectivity because I can browse iTunes and netflix on #2 without issue.
I've tried fixing the power settings on #2 to go off after the computer goes into sleep.
I've tried re-starting iTunes and, sometimes it shows up, sometimes it doesn't.
The router security has been removed to ensure easy connectivity.
Using "Remote" application on the iPad or iPhone or iPod, I can see the libraries I'm trying to connect to. Within the remote app is the only place that I can consistently see the #2 ATV.
I've tried turning off home sharing and turning back on for all computers-nothing. I've tried almost everything I could find on these forums but nothing is working to make this thing consistent. I've done the re-sets to manufacturer settings. The only thing I haven't tried is hard line witch is not possible due to set up but cannot be issue because I can access internet, itunes, and netflix with atv#2. Please help.

I have a similar problem.
I have a 2nd generation apple TV and all worked well until I upgraded my imac to the 27inch Imac.
Since then I cannot open home share on the apple TV.
I can see the internet, movies & utube but no computer.
I've tried turning off firewalls ( Norton & Macs Firewalls) but no change.
I've even tried going from wifi to ethernet but still no response. Every time I enter my apple password & ID it says cannot find the server.
I have airplay on my ipad which works perfectly on the computer (not apple tv because I cannot turn on home share)
Any suggestions
thanks

Iphoto on macbook pro doesn't see photos on iphone--how to move them off??

Hi,
I have an iphone 5S (updated to latest version of iOS) and a new macbook pro (retina), also updated. I have plugged my phone into iphoto (version 9.6) and it says all pictures are downloaded but there are over 1000 photos on my phone and 140 videos, too. How am i to bring these into iphoto if iphoto doesn't even see them???
Thanks,
A.

It should look like this:
But if you are seeing cloud icon beside the device name, you cannot delete the photos from your iPhone using your Mac. The delete button will be missing.
As to the number of photos and videos you are seeing on your iPhone.
In which albums do the photos and videos appear in the Photos.app on your iPhone?

Lightroom 4 Bug: can only see photos in Library mode, not develop mode

This may be related to other imported catalog bugs, but does not seem to be quite the same. In Lightroom 4, with an upgraded Lightroom 3 catalog:
1. Select a photo in Library mode.
2. Click on Develop to go to Develop mode
Screen shows "No photo selected". I cannot edit photos in Develop mode.
I can see and edit photos that are found in smart collections, but not photos that are simply in my collections from 2012, 2011, etc. folders

This happened to me, too, after importing a couple older LR3 catalogs (upgrading/consolidating). I could see the photo in Library module but when I pressed "D" (single photo selected) I was getting the "no photo selected" error message--for every photo I tried. I wasn't able to open any photos at all in the develop module. (These were photos that were fine before installing LR4 and upgrading.) Photos were from imported LR3 and LR4 Beta catalogs.
I restarted and everything seems ok--for now!
So if you come across this thread with this same issue, restart and see if that helps. (Before restarting LR I optimized as suggested above, which did nothing for the "no photo selected" issue. And this isn't related to the parent folder issue, I left my photos in the same place and didn't have more than 3k photos in any of the parent folders. I read in other threads that people had the issue again after importing other catalogs. I'm about to do that so I'll report back.

Lightroom doesn't see photos on Canon EOS

I'm trying to import photos from a Canon EOS 30D into Lightroom 1.4.1 running on Vista.
When I click on Import I get the option of choosing the source -- either the Canon or a "choose files.." option. But when I click on the Canon I get a Warning message saying "No photos were found to import". If I select "choose files..." I can navigate to the Canon, but Lightroom doesn't see the files on the camera.
If I navigate to the camera using a My Computer window then I can find the files and drag them onto the PC and then import into Lightroom using the import from disk option. But it would be great if someone knew how to import them direct from the camera. Any ideas? Thanks!

2nd solution : as the EOS generally don't have mass storage mode, buy a card reader for a few bucks, and read your CF card in it.
It will be wayyyyyy faster and more convenient (battery drain, among other problems) than the camera/PC cable.

Aperture 3 doesn't see my iphoto library in OSx

I just installed the Aperture 3 trial on my new macbook pro and it does not see my iphoto library. I was also trying out the iphotolibrary manager but just uninstalled it when it didn't seem to have the full features that aperture has. What to do?

Hello,
It worked on the path import/iphoto browser.
That is, because this will show the current iPhoto Library, the one you last opened with iPhoto.
I wonder why not through library? That path has no library to choose from
Here you are supposed to point out the library you want to import using the file chooser: You have to locate it all by yourself.
In the dialogue that opens navigate to your Pictures Folder and select your iPhoto Library.
Regards
Léonie
Set the selector at the top of the window to your Pictures folder and pick the Library you want

IPhoto doesn't see photos from my iPhone

This problem just started happening a few weeks ago --
First, the hardware --
An older MacMini that is NOT upgraded to Lion because it is single core (and hence is not connected to iCloud)
iPhoto '11, version 9.2.1
iPhone 4S with OS5.01
Now, the problem --
iPhoto is not recognizing any new photos I take. The photos are on the phone in the camera roll and are uploading to photostream but that does me no good since I don't have iCloud on my computer (because I don't have Lion). And iPhoto is recognizing that my iPhone is connected via USB -- it just says there are no photos (new or old) on it. Image capture is the same -- sees the device but doesn't see the photos.
When did this start? I'm not sure -- either (a) when I upgraded from my 3GS, which was running OS5, to the 4S OR (b) when I upgraded the 4S to 5.01.
In any event, I really want to get my photos from my phone to iPhoto -- after all, one of the selling points of the 4S was how great the camera is. Well, if I can't download the photos to my computer, what good is it?
Help anyone?

Computer sees the iphone, it just doesn't see the photos. This happened once before and I spent more than an hour with tech support fixing it - a real pain..... I'm hoping there is a quicker fix.

Powerbook doesn't see new HD. Why?

My HD died so I installed a new one. Everything seemed to work fine. The drive fit like a glove, the plug went in cleanly. I am trying to install Leopard but the computer can't see the new hard drive. With the computer booted from the the install disk, I ran Disk Utility and it doesn't see the new HD.
Do you know why the HD can't be seen and what I need to do the get the computer to recognize it?

Hi, Ian. At this point I recommend either replacing the flex cable for the drive or replacing the new drive itself. If you can exchange the drive on the basis that "it seems to be bad, because my computer doesn't see it after I've checked its connections carefully," do so. If you can't, a new cable is inexpensive and might turn out to be the solution you're looking for. Either way, you may rule out one of the three possible culprits.

IPhoto doesn't see photos in the library

Hope someone can help. The external hard drive holding my iPhoto library accidentally disconnected while I was working in iPhoto. Now, iPhoto does not see any photos in it, even though that library shows up as a choice when I reconnect it. Finder shows there are hundreds of gigabytes of data in the file, so I know the photos are there (I hope). But every time I try to switch to that library, it doesn't show up in the left column like it used to, and iPhoto gives me the message -- to get started, connect a camera or import photos. How do I get iPhoto to see the pictures/files again?? I'm on iPhoto 9.6 with OS X Yosemite on a macbook pro. Thank you!!

Backup your iPhoto library and depress and hold the option and command keys and double click on the library on the EHD - keep the keys down until the first sid window comes up - rebuild your database

ITunes doesn't see photos from iPhoto

It used to work OK, but now when I connect the iPhone (3G), iTunes launches (iPhoto too), starts syncing (uploads all the music again!), but the photo section says that the albums I have selected do not contain any photos.
I deleted albums, created new albums (in iPhoto) rebuilt the library in iPhoto, but still no update in iTunes.
Both iTunes and iPhoto files/data are held on an external file server, but I can see all files in each application.
This seemed to start happening after a full reset of the phone.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Adam

This could be a problem with the albumdata.xml file in your iPhoto Library Folder. Quit iPhoto and remove the file from the iPhoto Library Folder, then launch iPhoto. It will recreate the file.
If that doesn't work:
Remove any non-ascii characters in Keywords, Album or Photo titles - basically anything that's not a- z and 0 - 9. This includes &.
If that doesn't work then read this thread

Can't see photos in library

Yesterday my computer offered me an update to iPhoto and said that the thumbnails needed to be upgraded (or something along those lines). I clicked yes, and then I think foolishly, imported some more photos whilst this was occuring (I assume. I didnt see any signs of anything happening).
Anyway, the new 192 photos downloaded fine and are showing in iPhoto however the other 5,000 old ones are not! My photos are saved on an external hard drive cos they were filling up the Mac and when I go to mount the library into iPhoto I can see everything but it just doesnt appear in iPhoto when I click on it.
I don't really know where to go from here - have searched various troubleshooting pages but can't find anything specific. I have version 6.0.6 if that helps at all...
Answers on a virtual postcard please.

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 allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
2. Download iPhoto Library Manager 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 6* library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
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 on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll 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.

IMovie doesn't see photos in my iPhoto events

I opened iMovie to work on a new project.
1. Can't see how to create a new iMovie event.
2. iMovie sees my iPhoto events but shows only a few photos in an event that has 200. What's up with that?

Don't know about #2, but to create a new event in an opened Library go to file menu and select new event. Also option N works.
