Can photos shared from my computer be displayed at their original pixel size, rather than resized to maximum fit on my TV?

I am having a problem with my Samsung TV hooked to my AppleTV and viewing images shared from my MacPro.  The sharpness of the viewed images is less than the original image.  I  am careful to make sure the originals are smaller than 1900 pixels wide, to avoid resizing.  However, even smaller images are automatically resized fully to fill the screen, and I feel that somehow there is a slight but  noticeable loss in quality in the process.  Can I control how Apple TV presents images to my TV  to prevent resizing?  ( I also have tried a Western Digital Live TV module which also shares with my MacPro, and it does allow me to prevent resizing, but it doesn't seem to help)  Is it possible that my new TV (Smart TV) is inherently messing up the images slightly? (sorry, this is a non-Mac question)

Hello Winston.
I was afraid of that, that images would be automatically resized by AppleTV (at least, that is what I think you are saying).  In general, resizing of any photo will tend to reduce sharpness a bit, so at times it would be preferred to not do so.  No luck, with Apple TV, it seems.  I also suspect that there is something about the tV firmware which is contributing to the problem, and I have contacted Samsung, but no specific info on that yet.  Thanks for the response.

  • HT5395 How do I get my iMessage from my computer to show up as my phone number rather than my email?

    I'm trying to imessage from my macbook air and it's coming up as my email instead of my phone number/contact in people's phones. It changed suddenly and I can't figure out how to get it back to being my phone number. Please help!

    Hi,
    Actually that is Messages Menu > Preferences > Accounts > iMessages account and the "Start New Conversation From" Drop down
    The Pic is from Mavericks but in the indicated item there is little change.
    Mine is set to my Apple ID.
    It can make a difference if your iPhone Contacts only know your iPhone Number or you don't want them to know your Apple ID.

    GIF
    JPEG
    JPG
    JPG2000 or JP2
    PICT
    PNG
    PSD
    SGI

  • HT1752 Hello, I updated my MacBook with OS X and lost all my photos (about 7 years of photos) on iphoto (now empty). Are they completely lost or is there a way I can retrieve them from my computer?

    Hello, I updated my MacBook with OS X and lost all my photos (about 7 years of photos) on iphoto (now empty). Are they completely lost or is there a way I can retrieve them from my computer?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • HT4236 How can you create a photo Album on your iPhone and import that Album onto your computer (in my case a PC)?  It appears you can only sync from the computer to the iPhone, which is the opposite direction of what's desired in this case.

    It appears that sync'ingis pretty much one way, from the desktop to the device. If you create a folder on the desktop that is synced through iTunes with the iPhone, that folder appears as an Album in Pictures on the device.  But on the device you cannot add photos to that synced Album, so there is no way to use the desktop-based Album as an evolving target for new pictures on the phone, unless you do all the additions on the desktop software. 
    This really isn't "syncing".
    Further, if you create a new Album on the iPhone, it doesn't appear in the sync'ed folders on the desktop.
    The configuration for this discussion is iTunes 11 on Windows PC, iPhone 4S, and Windows Photo Gallery for picture editing on the PC.
    I'd like to have Albums and PC-based Picture Folders truly sync'ed.  Am I missing something or is this truly an iTunes Photo Sync'ing deficiency?

    The camera roll is not part of the sync process at all.
    You should be importing these photos to your computer regularly as you would with any digital camera.  Youc an organize them on your computer and sync the to the iphone if you wish.
    The photos sync from the computer to the iphone is one way.
    The iphone mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

  • Hi, I need help.  yesterday I copied one of my photo albums from my computer to Ipad 6 , using itunes.  The album was successfully copied but my already few existing photo albums are suddenly empty,  The album title is there but no photos inside.

    Hi
    Need your help. Some of my photo albums are showing as  a blank after copying a photo album from my computer to ipad 6 using itunes.  Can anyone help.,  Those albums were my treasure and i do not have any back of those.

    It's better to post the URL of the feed (as you have subsequently done) than the contents of the feed .
    From the FeedValidator report the feed is basically OK for iTunes. There are several occasions where 'content:encoded' sections (following immediately on 'guid' tags) should be enclosed in
    <description>...</description>
    tags: however all this will be ignored by iTunes anyway and only applies to other readers. The 'potentially dangerous content' referred to by FeedValidator is within the 'content:encoded' tags and so isn't relevant to iTunes. They are referring to an inline css style, and I don't know whether this might cause a problem elsewhere.
    You should really have a language tag, e.g.
    <language>en-us</language>
    (you have a dc:language tag but that's for a different system). This should be placed in the top section, before the first 'item' tag.
    It's advisable to have an 'itunes:explicit' tag for each 'item' -
    <itunes:explicit>yes IF CONTAINS ADULT MATERIAL, OTHERWISE no</itunes:explicit>
    it's not compulsory if you have no adult material, but you must have a 'yes' if you do.
    You can check your feed by subscribing in iTunes from the 'Advanced' menu - this has the same result as clicking the 'Subscribe' button on the Store page. If it works OK there you are ready to submit it.

  • I am having a weird problem with my phone every since it was updated this last time. I can sync movies from my computer to my iphone but any movies I buy with my phone I can not sync to the computer. But I redownload it to the computer and can then sync.

    I for the first time since buying my iphone and ipods for almost three years am concedering getting rid of them as I am getting tired of this problem. I can sync anything from my computer to the iphone. I can not sync movies bought on the iphone to my computer. I have tried everything and spent days trying to trouble shoot. I literally have bought hundreds of movies off Itunes but will not buy any thing else until I can figure this problem out. I have uninstalled Itunes reinstalled, troubles shooted using the itunes trouble shooter and reset my phone and nothing works.
    When I try to sync from my phone to the computer it says it can not be done because the iphone is not hooked up to the computer. I have only had these problesm since the new update not before. I have bought new cables twice to see if it helped and has not. Both my kids have Ipods, I have a Iphone and was planning on buying two Ipads for the kids for Christmas but not if I can fix this.

    You are correct.  Syncing should transfer any purchased media, including videos, from your device to your iTunes library provided your computer is authorized for the Apple ID used to make these purchases.  You mentioned that you have uninstalled iTunes before, but if you didn't follow this guide exactly, uninstalling iTunes and all of its components in the order specified, it may not have been successful so you should try again:  Windows XP or Windows Vista/7.

    Hi Vivek,
    In Reporting Services, values for LogonUser, LogonDomain, and LogonCred are created when the report server connection is configured to use a domain account. As to the error that “The encrypted value for the "LogonCred" configuration setting cannot be decrypted”,
    we can know that it relates to the domain account for report server connection.
    To fix this issue, we can refer to the following steps:
    Log in to SQL Server Database Engine in SQL Server Management Studio.
    Under Security folder, give sufficient permissions for your domain account.
    Open your Reporting Services Configuration (go to Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft SQL Server 2005 -> Configuration Tools -> Reporting Services Configuration)
    Navigate to the Database Setup tab, select ‘Service Credentials’ as the Credentials Type, then type your domain account and password in there. Press Apply.
    Restart the Report Server services.

    Sounds like it was synced from her computer using iTunes.  Connect the phone to her computer, open iTunes, click on the name of her phone in iTunes, go to the Photos tab and see if this folder is checked.  If so, unchecking it and syncing will remove them all, or deleting/moving the photos from the folder on her computer and syncing will remove the deleted/moved photos.
