How to Stream iPhoto library to my ATV ..question raised from previous post

The previous post dated 25 Feb, cant be replied to, so starting a new thread.
A reply from Winston Churchill stated:
You can only stream photos from a secondary library, photos from the primary library must be synced.
(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)
OK, so what is a secondary Library? and how is it setup?

Ok, thanks for the link. looks helpful, will read it again when my head is a bit clearer.
Still cant get my head around the way Apple do things. I have been sat here for 7 hours this morning, and still got no where, the girlfriend has said she want rid of the Mac, it is all just too complicated compared to Windows. She could play music on one screen, do e-mail and skype on another while a Slideshow was on the third (plasma TV) screen all from within XP without any third party apps. Even with the ATV, it is a nightmare on Mac. Had it two months now, and still spending 8-10 hours a day on it trying to get it setup so she can do all the above.
Sorry for the moaning, but really am ready to chuck anything with an apple logo on it in the trash and go back to Windows. I wont though....just yet...do not like giving up, plus the fact this lot has cost me more than i would normally spend on a car and I cant get it to do as much as a 8 year old Dell PC with XP on it

  • How to stream iPhoto library to my AppleTV

    I have a lot of photos on my computer that I would like to be able to see and show on my ATV, but I don't want to place the photos on the ATV's drive. I only have about 10 gig of photos, but I would like to reserve that drive space for movies.
    I would like to be able to see the entire library so I can pick and choose which photos to show off and I would also like to utilize the screen saver feature of the ATV.
    I have figured out how to see all the shared iTunes libraries in my house, but not the iPhoto.
    Thanks again in advance,
    Lauren

    How to use iPhoto Library Upgrader

    Hello Terence,
    sorry that I come here with a completly different thema but I follow your answers since long and they are always excellent! And I do not know who could help... as I can not find the solution in Apple Support Communities.
    I am very afraid with my MacBook Pro: midd. 2012
    Prozessor: 2,3 GHz Intel Core i7
    4GB 1600 MHz DDR3
    Intel HD Graphics 4000 384 MB
    Software: OS X 10.8.5 (12F45)
    Kernel-Version: Darwin 12.5.0
    iPhoto 11, Version: 9.4.3 (720.91)
    iPhone 4s, 64GB Version:7.0.2 (11A501),
    Symptoms:
    1. I have notice three days ago that Spotlight allways answers I should go to the web when I look for data in my computer. It seems that Spotlight can not find anything from my computer.
    2. Timemachine has no data before the 28th. January 2014 (!?) No idea why this happens
    3. In Finder window when I go to "Alle meine Daten"(= All my data) there is absolutely nothing there...it means 0 objekts are there.
    4.In  Systemeinformationen (=Systeminformations) if I go to Software and then to Programs... there is nothig there because the Plug-In do not react quick enough (Das Plug-In hat beim Sammeln dieser Informationen nicht schnell genug reagiert). I am asking me which Plug-In it is and where to find it...
    5. On my iPhone the Photo-stream suddenly shows only 110 fotos from Dezember on, but in My MacBookPro the iPhoto Stream shows of course the lasts 1000 ones...from 25.01.2013 to 03.02.14 as it did allways before.
    I am not going to sync anything until I discover what is going on...
    6. On my Contacts suddenly appeared the link address of a "game" in my own card ( both in iCloud and Lokal AddressBook)... and I have never ever played an online game (!?). So I deleted this two links as I discovered them some days ago...
    I do not know what is going wrong here but I'm afraid to loose all my data in the computer, so I am making a secure copy in an external drive right now...
    Could it be a virus inside... a software problem may be...?
    The mayor  Problem is how to get the programms to work (Spotlight, etc), or how to repair them.
    I'm trying to find something wrong in the Protocols I have here, for example
    - the Repair protocol for users from 27.01.2012 ( /Users/Begona/Library/logs/fsck_hfs.log).
    - the Datasystem-Reppairprotocol from 01.02. 14 (/var/log/fsck_hfs.log)
    - the Installationsprotocol from 04.02.14...
    but I am really lost.
    Thank you very much for reading this, help would be high appreciated

  • How to make iPhotos library available to other users

    how to make iPhotos library available to other users

    To give others selective access to your iPhoto library, you have the option of using iCloud Photo Sharing, if the privacy implications don't bother you. The images will be stored temporarily on Apple servers.
    If you want to give full read/write access to more than one user, see the support article linked below.
    iPhoto: Sharing libraries among multiple users
    There is a way to share the library without moving it to a secondary volume. If you really need to do that, ask for instructions.

  • How to tranfer iphoto library to G/drive mini

    How to tranfer iphoto library to GDrive mini/. Can I keep in 2 spot - one in computer and one in Gdrive mini.  I recently lost photos from the old hard drive.  It's no longer on the computer. 

    There are some wireless external hard drives that can be used with the iPad.
    The Kingston Wi-Drive, which costs $50 for the 16 Gigabyte, and then $30 more for every 16 gigs more. It works by you turning it on and then accessing the files on it from an app that you download on your iDevice. You can access music, movies, and other stuff. No connections or anything, it works like a WiFi connection, you connect to it from the setting on the iPad under wireless networks.
    Then there is the Seagate GoFlex, which some would recommend over the Wi-Drive. But this one costs $199 and had 500 Gigabytes of storage. It works the sameway as the Kingston: no wires, runs over its wireless connection. You can actually fit up to 300 HD movies on it.

  • How to import iphoto library from macbook air to imac

    Hi
    I have been searching the support section but have not had any luck finding an answer to this. If someone can point me in the right direction to a link for directions that would be great.
    I have just returned from a holiday and have been uploading all my photos to a macbook air iphoto library.
    Now that I am home I want to import that library into my existing library on my imac.
    Is this possible ? and how exactly (in no techno speak please - I am still quite new to Apple).
    Thanks in advance.

    Do you want to replace the iPhoto Library on the iMac with the iPhoto library on the MBA?  then simply Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.
    But if you want to move selected (the new) photos from the MBA to the iMac then you need iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only way to move photos between libraries without losing information
    If you want the photos only without history then you can export from the MBA (see the user tip on exporting for details on the options) and then import the photos to the iMac

  • How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external HD, on my iMac ?

    How to open iPhoto Library copied from Macbook onto external Hard Drive, on iMac?  "Not enough storage??" is message that appears.

    How much free storage do you have on your iMac's system drive and on the external hard drive?
    And how have you been trying to open the library?  Do not import the library into iPhoto.
    You simply connect the hard drive with the library and double-click the iPhoto library on the external drive to open it in iPhoto. That will work, if you are using iPhoto 9.6, the only version of iPhoto, that is compatible with MacOS X 10.10.
    Or hold down the alt/options key while double clicking the iPhoto icon. This will bring up a library chooser panel.  Select your library on the external drive.
    If the iPhoto Library has been created by an older version of iPhoto it will need to be upgraded to the new version, and that may require temorary additional free storage on your system drive and the drive with the library.
    If the library has been created by iPhoto 7.1.2 or earlier, you need to install and run iPhoto Library Upgrader, see:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader

  • How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner of my iPad?

    How can I change game centre and iCloud account information from previous owner to me?

    You can't do it on your own. The previous owner has to erase the device for you. You would need his Apple ID and password in order to delete his iCloud account. This is due to the Activation Lock in iOS 7 - assuming that your iPad is running iOS 7.
    Contact the owner and ask home to erase it remotely using iCloud, or return the device and ask for your money back. If you can't contact the pervious owner, you will have a useless iPad on your hands.
    Read this for more information. This is what you need the previous owner to do.

  • Why/how is my iPhoto library larger than the hard drive it is stored on?

    I store my iPhoto library on a 2TB external hard drive. The library file itself claims to be 2.65TB and created 12 years before I purchased the computer (see pic). I have confirmed this on other computers.
    I know my library to actually be closer to 680GB as I've been using it for a long time. When I click 'get info' on the drive itself, it shows it is around 945GB full which makes sense as there are other files also stored there.
    Could someone please explain how a 2TB drive can hold a 2.65TB file? Then, could someone help me restore it back to its actual size? I would like to back up my library but can't easily move such a massive file. I am also worried about its stability as I presume something is corrupt in there. 
    Thanks in advance.
    p.s. When you look at the image below, you may notice other libraries (the one in question is highlighted). I have had MANY troubles with crashing libraries and gone through MANY rebuilds to get my library to where it is now; complete and working but oddly sized (and not appropriately backed up!). If I could easily and safely migrate all my photos, their originals, their edits, the places and faces etc to another program I would definitely consider it because iPhoto and Aperture are simply not behaving as I'd like them to.

    I am unsure if it has been formatted MacOS but it is a My Passport for Mac so I imagine it was initially set up correctly - especially as it has worked well until now.
    You can check that by selecting your external drive in the Finder and using the command "File Get Info ⌘I " on the drive. The General section of the info panel will show you the File System.
    I have never seen that symbol in in iPhoto. In Aperture it is marking photos that have been downloaded from Photo Stream or Flickr or Facebook.  Are you syncing your library with any of these services?

  • HT6378 How to upload iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library?

    Hi,
    I am having a MBP mid 2012 w/ Yosemite along w/ iPhone and iPad, all running 8.1. After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
    On the iCloud, All Photos folder just shows a fraction of what's on my Mac iPhoto library, probably the most recent pictures I have taken and there's no sign of any automatic uploading as suggested by all Apple Ads...
    Thanks
    S

    After having upgraded all devices to latest version, I wonder how do you get now the Mac iPhoto library into iCloud Photo library? iCloud Photo Library setting has been enabled on all devices.
    iPhoto on your Mac is not supposed to work with iCloud Photo Library. The new "Photos" app for the mac will be able to do it. The release of this app  has been announced for "Early next year".
    For now, only your mobile devices can upload to iCloud Photo Library.  So you have to upload your photos to the mobile devices to get them into iCloud Photo Library Beta.
    That is not easy, because you cannot upload from your iPhoto library to your iOS 8 devices using iTunes with  iCloud Photo Library Beta enabled on the device. It will disable syncing photos with iTunes. As long as you are using  iCloud Photo Library Beta, mail the Photos to your devices or upload using Photo Stream.

  • How to share iPhoto library among users on same iMac without using an external drive?

    How can I share my iPhoto library with another user on the same iMac for use with iCloud. I do not want to use an external drive.
    Thanks

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • How to share iPhoto library with other ID

    i'm sure there is similar post/response to this but been trolling the message boards and can't find a similar situation.
    the scenario goes like this.
    - single macbookpro 10.7.2
    - user1 is primary/admin user in which is owner of laptop
    - pictures are in iPhoto v9.2 under user1
    - user1 does all the pic uploads/edits/etc as the primary user of the macbook
    - user1 is not a hardcore photo editor type and just primarily uses iPhoto for basic cropping and organization/viewing
    - pics sync to user1 iPhone/iPad(iOS5) via PhotoStream and sync'ing of albums
    - wife has her own iPhone, separate apple ID and uses user2 on the same macbookpro above that user1 is using
    what we are trying to get done...
    - wife wants to be able to see albums on her iPhone and also have ability from laptop/iPhone to select pics to upload into her facebook as needed
    - bonus would be if wife can also view my/user1 PhotoStream
    looking for any assistance on how to get this done painlessly with least possibility in corrupting iPhoto library in which user1 uses and avoid having to create/copy all pics into user2 iphoto library and waste HD space.
    if it is easier to re-send a link to someone else that has conquered similar challenge, pls send across.  much appreciated.

    The thing is, the whole point of having separate accounts is to keep your data seprate from hers. So, any attempt to overcome this can be kludgy.

  • How to copy iphoto library folder from Time machine to new hard drive

    How do I copy my iphoto library and music library from my time capsule to my new hard drive?
    I have a Macbook pro - 2.53 GHz - 4 GB memory.  I just replaced my hard drive to 500 GB and upgraded to OX 10.9.4. I created a new user account and login password for the new hard drive.  I copied my documents folder to external drive before the old hard drive failed, but I was not able to copy over my iphoto library or imusic library.  My old hard drive was regularly backed up on my time capsule (1TB).
    I used migration assistant to transfer my user account to the new hard drive (1 of 3 on the time capsule).  The data transferred successfully, but at login the login name  does not match the user folder. Nor do any of my passwords allow me to login to the transferred username/account.  When I login to the account that I set up on new hard drive I can see the userfolder migrated in but the folders do not allow entry.
    What can I do now at least to get my photos on the time capsule onto my current hard drive? Can I go into my time capsule like an external hard drive and simply copy over my iphoto library from the last back up of the old hard drive?

    You probably tried to move a user account from your TC to your computer that was already active on the computer.. this is one of the no no's that pondini lists.
    See how to migrate. http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
    There is a huge amount of info there about transferring files.. that you must not have a user account of the same name as the one you migrate.. and how to transfer files between migrated accounts.
    He also has specific info on moving itunes and iphoto stuff here.
    Q15 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    You might need to fix up permissions or reset the password for the account.
    There is details here..

    I have had to do that myself.. once you reset the password you will be able to login to the account.

  • How to Restore iPhoto Library from BackUp?

    My iPhoto library has gone blank, although its trash has the 4,555 images. And all organization, albums, keywords, photo names, gone. Recently my backup storage, where library kept, went blank. I got a new backup, and a pro restored most of old data, and transfered to new one. So, I have the Library on the new backup, and need to restore it in the iPhoto Library, rather than create a new one, which as I understand will lose albums, keywords, etc. A friend says that way to hold down a key when opening iPhoto that will have it look for old library and restore? Not in Help or elsewhere.
    I had a MacBook Pro, when this first happen. Now have iMac and have iLife 09, but don't want to instal it until photo library restored.
    Sounds basic, but how to restore.
    Thanks,
    Armando

    Armando
    The simplest way to restore is to put the Library in the Pictures Folder and launch iPhoto.
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' To select a Library.
