Can't see my photo files under Computer

I have set up Home Sharing on both AppleTV and on my computer and have selected files to share on my computer. However, nothing appears on my TV screen when I scroll to Computers on main menu. I have done this several times with no luck. My photos are simply in my MY PICTURES file on my Vista computer.
Help please.

If one of the main reasons of your ATV was to view photos, you are likely not missing much. Music, Movies, and TV from a computer works relatively fast, but trying to view a photo library is nightmarishly slow. Lots of complaints on these forums about that. Here is a post from another thread:
Selecting photos from my Computer takes a considerable amount of time before anything is shown. It does eventually show the albums, but after a few mins. Unlike (1) where it would just spin forever. **
Note that I hate how Apple TV does not support sub-folders in albums. For instance I have my photos organized like this:
d:\pictures
d:\pictures\christmas
d:\pictures\christmas\2005
d:\pictures\christmas\2006
d:\pictures\disney
d:\pictures\disney\2005
d:\pictures\disney\2006
It collapses all the christmas pictures into one album. Same for disney. Wife hates this, as do I. Wish they just had a "folder" view that supported sub-folders and such. Would be awesome then! See a lot of complaints on this around the net.

  • Can't see individual photo files using iPhoto '08

    I recently upgraded to iPhoto '08
    Now I can no longer see my individual photo files in the Finder window
    I need to see these files because I lost (and then recovered) all my photos
    Now I have multiple copies of each photo, including a very small size of each one which probably used to be the thumbnail but now is a "regular" photo in iPhoto due to the recovery process
    I want to sort my photo files by size and delete the small ones to get rid of the small duplicates
    I have too many photos to delete these one by one!
    Any suggestions would be most appreciated
    Thanks - Liz

    see the answer to your question in this thread -- http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1218128&tstart=0
    You may end up having to export your photos, clean them up and reimport them into iPhoto to straighten this out - or maybe Old TOad will have already figured you problem out .

  • HT4236 I can't see any photos when ipad is plugged into computer.

    I can't see any photos in itunes when ipad is plugged into computer.
    Everything else shows up.

    I have a similar problem Win 8 iCloud 3. Shared photostreams sync ok and my photostream syncs on other devices. Interesting enough, when I access photostream through the "my computer" option on Apple TV I see a whack of pictures that don't appear on any of my IOS or Windows Photostreams.

    What about if I want the entire playlist available so that I can view it in my finder the way I was able to before I made it a playlist?

    Aperture is an Apple product for photo managment. Compared to iPhoto0 bigger, more control, more editing, and more expensive.

  • Photoshop can't see my photos anymore

    I upgraded to iPhoto 08 and my photos no longer appear in my finder. I can't find the photos anyhere. This seems to be a downgrade to me, not an upgrade. Can I unhide this seemingly hidden photo folder? It was there before.... Not very happy about this.

    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Can't see all photos on Camera Roll on laptop

    I have a slightly unusual problem with my iPhone. I have downlaoded quite a few camera and photo apps from the app store. All of these work fine on the phone itself and I can view all pictures taken and edited with the various apps on the camera roll on the phone. My problem occurs when I connect my iPhone to my laptop and access it using Windows Explorer. When I do this I can only see the photos taken on some of the apps and not all of them. Photos taken using ClassicPAN, ClassicToy, ShakeItPhoto, Pro HDR, Pano to name a few can't be found. If I want to transfer photos from any of these apps to my laptop I have to email them but I have hundreds of photos so this is not feasible. I have a brand new Samsung laptop so maybe some of the settings are wrong but I don't even khow where to begin looking. I would appreciate any help you might be able to give me.

    What visual presentation do the other 900 photos have? A Dotted Square? Do you get a ! or ? when you double click on them?
    IF so: The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents. The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
    If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    Regards

  • How can I see my photos

    How can I see my photos on icloud

    Enable photo stream on your iOS device (in Settings>iCloud>Photos), or set up iCloud on your computer and enable photo stream as explained here: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  Note: this will allow you to access my photo stream photos from the last 30 days and any shared streams you are subscribed to.

    I honestly don't know if DW CS5 is compatible with Win 8.1.  The OS compatibility FAQ only mentions DW CS6 & CC.

  • Others can't see my photos

    I'm getting feedback that friends and family can't see my photos in an iweb 08 published site.
    "hi mate cant see the pictures????hope you are all well cx"
    "The photos dont come thru, I wish they had, Hope all is well with your new addition"
    It works fine on my computer, I can see them using IE on Parallels too.
    Any ideas about why these people can't see the photos, do I need to tell them to install a plugin on their browser?
    Thanks.

    http://web.mac.com/bromelands/Site/FallHalloween_2007/Fall_Halloween2007.html
    I am publishing to .Mac. I'm Not sure what you mean by how are the photos loaded onto iWeb, is there more than one way to do it? I just dragged albums from iPhoto to load them on to iWeb and I clicked publish All to .Mac to publish it. I'm using the plain white template and the elegant template.

  • IPhoto can't see my photos

    I had a hard drive directory problem after filling my HD to 99.9% full. iPhoto now can't see my photo's. The iPhoto library is there, complete with originals, alterations, etc, but when iPhoto opens, it says that there are 0 pictures. I used option+iphoto and selected the folder again, as well as moving the folder and selecting it from another location, and iPhoto opens it and says 0 pictures.
    I tried rebuilding the database, which it does very quickly, reopens and says 0 pictures.
    But I know the pictures are there because they are in the originals folder (as verified with preview) and they are in the date archived folders as well.
    What should I do?

    Cane,
    so far you have done all the correct steps. iPhoto unfortunately cannot read the data files in your library folder(they are probably corrupt from whatever happened to your HD) and so it tells you there are 0 files.
    The next step is to create a new library:
    How many images do you have in your library?
    Do you mind losing albums, keywords, comments?
    If not...
    close iPhoto
    -drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
    -launch iPhoto and create a new library
    -double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
    -the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
    -the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
    -Drag these two folders to the desktop
    -If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
    -If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
    -If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
    -If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
    -the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
    I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
    Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

  • Can''t see inbox.mbox file in user library

    For some reason, I can't see a .mbox file for my inbox when I look in my user library Mail folder. I can see a junk.mbox; I can see a deleted messages.mbox, but no inbox.mbox (or sent.mbox, for that matter). Can someone tell me where those messages live in the library? They must be somewhere, but I can't seem to find them. I am about to migrate to a new Mac Pro, and want to make sure everything gets to the new machine. I am currently using my laptop as my main machine, because my aging dual-867 mhz. MDD machine is nursing a dying hard drive, and nothing has been able to repair it, so I stopped using it. Of course, I still have a lot of mail on the old machine, and I wanted to archive the inbox contents to a .mbox file that I could import to the new computer. Are these mailboxes different from other mail folders? Thanks for any help.

    Hi and a warm welcome to the forums!
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot.
    The usual reason why updates fail or mess things up, is if Permissions are not fixed before & after every update, with a reboot... you may get a partial update when the installer finds it doesn't have Permissions to change one obscure little part of the OS, leaving you with a mix of OS versions.
    Some people get away without Repairing Permissions for years, some for only days.
    If Permissions are wrong before applying an update, you could get mixed OS versions, if Directory is the slightest messed up, who knows!
    If many Permission are repaired, or any Directory errors are found, you may need to re-apply some the latest/biggest updates.

  • I can't see imported photos

    Hi everybody,
    I got a new Ipod Hi-fi 30 Gb.
    I have the Belkin Camera Link and I've downloaded photos from my camera (it's a Sony DCS W 100) to the Ipod.
    All the photos are imported on the Ipod and I can download them to a pc.
    My problem is that I can't see any photo on the Ipod screen.
    When I got to the menu "Photos" it display just the number of the roll, the number of the photo and nothing happens.
    Does anybody can helpme?
    Thanks in advance.

      Windows XP Pro  

    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.
