Few ATV photo ?s

Long time mac user looking at buying an ATV. My main goal is to be able to stream high resolution photos. Here's my set up. Buffalo wireless "g" router with a buffalo wireless "g" router in the hometheater acting as a access point for the receiver and HD DVD player. there is an airport express (older so probably "b") in the HT as well for AirTunes. My desktop is a G5 running Aperture 2.1.2. The pictures are taken with a Canon 40D.
I would like to be able to stream high resolution pictures to the 720p DLP in the HT. The reciever is a fairly new denon so i will be using HDMI into the receiver and let it do the A/V switching.
1. Can I expect full resolution pics? (I'm hoping to have the clarity of some of the stuff i see on the HD discovery channel)
2. Is my G network robust enough to stream full resolution photos or will i have to sync for slideshows?
3. My thoughts are to buy the cheapest 40GB version i can find. Other than HD sizes, are there any differences between the different models? I figure that if i really get into ATV, I can always do a HD swap.

1. You clearly can't expect full resolution photos, 4,000 x 3,000 pixel photos for example are beyond the ability of both the tv or any tv for that matter. The tv will output at 1920 x 1080, if your tv will support it. In general a computer monitor will always display a photo better than a tv. However that being said it is my opinion that photos on the tv are very good indeed, was more than pleasantly surprised the first time I viewed photos on my tv.
2. There would be little point in streaming or syncing for that matter any photos much over 1920 x 1080. I personally crop all my photos to 16:9 and keep the pixel size to around 1920 x 1080 plus 10% and create tv albums only in iphoto for exclusive use with the tv. With Aperture I understand the tv uses the preview settings which can be set in Aperture preferences. Personally I would always sync photos, photos will only stream if you set up your itunes library as a secondary library, which means you would lose the many advantages of having a primary library (If you have a primary library you must sync photos. If you do stream photos a 'g' network should be quite adequate for photos in the region of 1920 x 1080, but really big photos might cause a problem.
3. No differences at all.

I am wondering what is the best way to merge a very large iphoto library (from my MBP) to my new iMac (which has a few hundred photos on it now), and then upgrade to Aperture?

I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
I have a new iMac with a few hundred photos that I've uploaded since I bought it last December.
The iMac is where I want to keep everything stored as my main photo library, and manage it with a new Aperture installation.
Before I go and do this, and possibly muck it all up,
I would like to figure out the proper steps.
I am not too familiar with how to transfer files in the first place, so any help for a beginner would be much appreciated.
Starting from how to safely move the files from the MBP to the iMac, if anyone could walk me through this process.
I've been searching around but I have a specific goal (with getting everything into Aperture) so I don't want to get crossed up.
Thanks for your help!!

I have about 50GB of photos on my old MBP iphoto library.
To be able to merge your libraries, your Aperture version and iPhoto version must match. For basic reading see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
and Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
Assuming you are running the latest Aperture and iPhoto versions:
Before merging libraries ensure that your iPhoto Library has no issues. While still on your old mac run the "library first aid tools" on your iPhoto Library. Hold down the key combination ⌥⌘ and double click your iPhoto Library, then select "Repair database".
Make sure you have a backup of your current Aperture Library and iPhoto library.
Do both macs have a FireWire port? Then you could connect your macs in Target Disk Mode:
See OS X Lion: Transfer files between two computers using target disk mode
This way your new mac could see your old mac as an external disk and you could copy directly between the macs.
Otherwise copy your iPhoto library by drag-and-drop to an external disk (on your old mac) and connect that disk to your new mac. Check, if the external drive is formatted for mac (MacOS X Extended (Journaled)). Otherwise reformat it, before you copy the iPhoto library to that drive.
When your iPhoto Library has been moved to your new Mac launch Aperture and use the command "File > Import > Library" from the main menu bar. If there are duplicates in the Aperture library (if you imported earlier from iPhoto) you may be prompted if you want to "Add" or "Merge". If you have lots of duplicates, pick "Merge", otherwise "Add".
Post back, if you need more detailed instructions.
Good Luck.

ATV photo sharing with iTunes 11 and windows 8???

I just got my ATV set up to share media with my iTunes library on my home PC. I also got the airplay mirroring to function with my ios devices, but I can't seem to get any of my photos to show up from my PC library.
The support FAQ's are out of date and reference iTunes 10.x
Within iTunes 11 using win 8 there are no menu options so to speak.

Do you already have installed Windows 8 Media Center? The Media Center contains missing features which are needed by iTunes 11. Details could be found on my blog.

A few missing photos

I cannot add 2 specific photos to my book project.
I'd added all the pics previously, then changed my mind and deleted several. Now I want to add them back. I successfully added all but a few back to the book project by dragging them from an album.
However, a few of the photos did not reappear in the unplaced photos section. When i try to drag them again from the album or from the Last Roll, nothing happens. It is as if the book project thinks the photos are already there. But, I cannot access those photos from the unplaced pics
What do you suggest I try to get these pics into my book?

teelbee:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. I experience that problem a long time ago and don't remember what corrected it. A first attempt would be to go to your User/Library/Caches folder and delete the iPhoto folder in there. It's only a cache folder and will be recreated when you next launch iPhoto.
If that doesn't help a workaround might be to duplicate those two files via the Photos->Duplicate menu and try using the new files in the book.
After you've completed and ordered the book I suggest you try downloading and installing the 10.4.7 COMBO updater followed by a repair of permissions. Best not to try anything until you've got your project behind you.
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.

HT5824 i have a few hundered photos on my ilcoud but when i sent up my PC to recieve photo streeming of my photos i only got 89 what can i do to get the rest

I have a few alot of photos on my Icloud but when i set up my PC to recieve photo streaming i only got 89 how do i get the rest to down load

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 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. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained 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.

I synced my iphone to a new pc and it updated and a few hundred photos seem to be lost. Is there any way to get them back?

Hi i synced an iphone to a new pc and it updated and restored the iphone to its original settings. some photos were still there after but a few hundred are now missing. Is there any way to get them back?

restore from a backup dated prior to when you synced to the new computer.
ideally... were you backing up to icloud? if so, erase all content and settings and restore from a backup in icloud dated prior to when you synced. Camera roll backs up I believe and those photos will show back up

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.

Unnamed/named faces unsticking in few select photos

Please let me know if anyone has experienced this or know why this may be happening.
Out of about 4000 photos, 3 photos if I name the face, click done, and then go back into it, the face is gone (the name of the face as well as the recognition that a face exists in that location). You have to add missing face again, but each time you hit done or go to the next photo and come back, the face you added disappeared. If you add the missing face and don't name it yet and hit done or go to the next photo and come back, still it unsticks/disappears. Naming the face doesn't have anything to do with it.
I tried resaving the photo again as a jpeg, then as different formats, imported again and same issue. I was going to attach or a give a link to this photo, but first modified the photo so the faces are yellow circles with black background (using paint), but then after importing this modified photo, the name sticked. So it seems that overwriting a certain part of the photo allows the names to stick. This is really annoying because the 3 photos are not that old and I would really prefer to face name. The ironic thing is that those 3 photos, each have multiple faces and it's just one face in each of the photos (not the same pictures, taken different times, different people) that doesn't stick. One photo has 3 faces and in the first two it even suggests names and the last one I'll add, then get back to it and it's gone.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
I have iPhoto 09 8.1 using latest leopard.

LN,
Thank goodness I created a backup. I rebuilt from the last automatic database backup and all my faces were gone. I started tagging from new, and then I tried those 3 photos again and again same problem. The tag won't stay on the photo. Other pictures and other people in the photo tag fine. 1 photo is 3 faces and I can only tag 2 of them, and the other 2 photos (different events) only 1 out of the 2 faces it tags. Since rebuilding lost all my faces, I went back to the original library.
I also tried rebuilding permissions besides the thumbnails and tried all over, still same issue.
What is also really annoying is once I blur out the face on the photo so that I can show you what I mean, then the tag stays after I try again. So I can't show an example without revealing other people's faces, which I would prefer not to do our of other people's privacy to use as an example. I wish I knew what was going on or how to resolve this. What's weird is that it is so obvious that these are faces too and can't see anything out of the ordinary with these.
I tried one other thing that is interesting. If I reimport that picture and FIRST tag the face that unsticks, and hit done, then it stays. Then if I go to faces, I see the picture, but it's weird because in all the thumbnails where the face is the focus of the picture, this the face is almost half off because the face pictures is basically the center of the picture. If you go back to the photo, the face is still tagged, but in the thumbnail it's like it takes the center of the picture and zooms into that, which is basically space between two faces. Then I tag the other face that normally sticks in the photo, and then that is when the original unsticks again. So another thing I've noticed is that it sticks only if you tag only one face in the photo even though in the faces thumbnails it looks a bit off centered then not based on tagging. If you tag this face and exit iphoto, it sticks , but then leaves a grey thumbnail. What weird behavior. I wish apple would have an answer to this.

ICloud only syncing a few random photos

Just downloaded iCloud to my Windows laptop so I can store all my photostream photos permenantly, but its only syncing 174 of 800 odd photos.
The photos are coming from my iPhone and iPad but neither on them have exactly 174 photos on them! So its a bit odd....
Any help? Thanks

Also, if there isnt a fix for this at present, is there a way to access my photostream when I plug the iPad/iPhone into the laptop? So that I can just drag and drop them? I'm prettty sure that last time I tried this I could only access the camera roll section of the photos.
Thanks again

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?
Message was edited by: Jim McDonough half a word.

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).

Lightroom imports photos to wrong folder

I've been importing lots of photos from my hard drive into lightroom and been moving/renaming them in the process. I only got lightroom a few weeks ago.
This has worked fine but i've recently imported a few hundred photos off my iphone and doing the same thing - move and rename. The trouble is, these photos keep going into the 2009 folder, instead of the 2012 or 2013 folders that they should be. When i look at the photos, they have the correct name, and the capture date seems to be correct, its just lightroom keeps wanting to put them in the wrong folder by year. Does anyone understand why this might be happening?
naturally I want all my photos sorted into the right date folders as this is the way ive decided to organise my photos...

hmm so still not making sense. it keeps wanting to import my photos into the wrong destination. have removed all the photo from lightroom. how do i change it so it automatically puts the photos into the corresponding year/month they were taken..
I understand its something in the import settings/destination but cant seem to change this. not sure what parts of the import box your wanting to see Dj.
the structure now is my pictures/2009/21-7-09 then its creating new year folders and sorting them within this 21-7-9 folder..
can't see to change this?

Help please - unable to open missing photos 'browse' dialogue box

Hi All,
new to the forum, but long time LR user.
I have a problem with LR v.3.4.1 I have a few missing photos (quite a few actually) in my catalogue from when I moved hard drives in v1. I jumped from v.1 to v3. But used to be able to find them still.
Now when I click the ? icon the browse dialogue box won't open. Double clicking only switches from thumnail to full size - though there are no index images of these photos.
I've checked the drives, the images still exist. I tried re-iporting the images to see if that would bring them up as duplicates, but the LR finder would not see any images there.
Since switching from v.1 to v.3 I have done quite a few shoots, and I'd be sad (no mortified!) to loose either bit of editing work.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Many thanks
Damian

I should say, this is the case for both my Macbook Pro running v10.5.8
and my new today, iMac running v10.6.7

Are you sure you want to remove existing photos and sync photos from this computer?

I have a 64Gb iPad running the current version of ios7 on which I store around 15,000+ photos. Every time I add a few new photos to iPhoto and then try to sync the iPad through iTunes (current version) I get the message in the title. It takes about 6 hours every time I want to sync my photos because it erases and re-loads all 15,000+ onto the iPad. Also when I sync my iPad the process fills up the Home>Pictures>iPhoto>(show package contents)> iPod backup file with about 80+ Gb of backup files so I can never fully sync my iPad in one go as the process fills up the 70 or so Gb of free space on my hard drive. Every time I sync I have to stop halfway through delete the file and sync the rest. Why can't my iPad just sync the new photos? Please help. Note: this is not a new iPad, this is not a new mac. It used to work fine befor why not now?

An iPod can only be synced with one iPhoto library. If it has been synced with another library previously, the photos synced from that library will be removed from the iPod. Have you been switching between iPhoto libraries? You need to switch back to the iPhoto library that you want to sync with, before connecting your iPod.
The library you are using for syncing, needs to contail all photos that you want to sync to your iPod.

Connect more than 3 ATV's at the same time to one iTunes Library.

Seriously! Im about to go nuts on this!
I have a big problem, I have 13 ATV's, 1 x MacMini witch has two external drives on 1TB containing film attached to it.
I want to be able to connect all the ATV's to the same iTunes library, I know that you cant stream to 13 ATV's simultaneously. I just want them to be connected to the library so i dont have to run to the computer to connect another one just because you change location inside the boat.
I have been in contact with Apple Pro support numerous of times regarding this and the only answer you get it pretty much.. this is the way it is.. like it or not..
Have contacted Royal Caribbean Cruise ships yard down in Miami to try getting hold of the guy who had to do with the 1400 iMacs the had installed on their vessels. Not received a reply from him yet..
Does anyone else have any tips on how I can approach or try to contact?
I know that me with my few ATV's is a man with no voice when it comes to speak to Apple about this problem.. But the thing is that i am working as an IT Officer on a private owned yacht 70m+ and have allot of contact with other IT guys from other private owned vessels (read hundreds of hundreds private owned yacht around the globe) how was like me.. looking for a nice, quiet good looking pice of equipment with a nice, easy to use interface that isn't going to cost 100 000€.. If you start looking at it in that way, my 13 ATV' all of a sudden could been 1300? or maby even 13 000? when you start counting on potential yachts around the globe..
I mean i understand why Apple have limited their iTunes to not be able to handle more than 3 ATV's at the same time.. but i still think its wrong to cut all possible changes to make it able to connect more than 3 external medias to the same library. They could have made a solution like what they have done with the Quicktime for example.. the player that comes standard in OSX is the basic one.. go online pay "what ever amount" and whips you have a pro version.. could have done exactly the same thing when it comes to iTunes.. basic pre installed.. buy a code in apple store and whips you have pro features..
It cant just be me in the hole world ho has this problem?!?!
Incredibly grateful for answers or thoughts.
Best regards Timpos

AC, Thank you for you reply.
Even though it is supposed to be a 'simple' home video system it has so much potential!
And i mean i know there is an solution since i know the Caribbean cruises are using apple as media centers onboard their ships. have to admit that i do not know if they are using frontrow or some other application created buy some other company.. i just know that some one must know how to get around it all and make it work..
Just wish i had someone to get in contact with that is working hands on every day with this product, and get strait, good, final answers.. no "pro support" since im not happy with their answers anymore..
I know i start to sound desperate.. but thats because i am..
