How to view iPhoto pictures?!

OK guys... this will sound a newbie question... but for the life of me I cannot figure out how to view pictures from my iTunes lib on my Apple TV without have to 'Sync' (copy) them to the Apple TV.
Right now I cannot only copy the pictures to the Apple TV.... but I want to just be able to 'stream' them from my Macbook.... is that now possible?
Cheers!

You can connect your tv with itunes on your computer in two different ways. I prefer to call one a primary and the other a secondary, others will call them paired and shared and others will call them syncing and streaming.
Basically a primary (paired or syncing) library allows you to sync content or stream it or a mixture of both. You can only connect one primary library to an tv.
A secondary library will only let you stream content, but you can have up to 5 of these.
The one exception to this is photos which have to be synced from a primary library, you don't have the option of streaming, so to stream photos you have to use a secondary library.
JGG isn't saying you need 2 computers just to watch different types of content. If you want to stream photos then you will need to stream everything (movies, tunes etc etc), what JGG is saying is that if you didn't want to stream everything and say sync a few movies but stream photos then you would need two computers, or since you are using a mac run two user accounts.
Can I ask why you only want to stream photos.

  • How to view iPhoto pictures from Air on iPad

    Hi all
    I have a MacBook Air with lots of pictures sorted in iPhoto. I also have an iPad and aiCloud account. How can I set myself so that I can see the pictures on the Air's hard drive on my iPad? Any help would be welcome.
    Regards, Sam.

    Yes.
    So you want to stream to the iPad?
    I'd ask that on the iPad forum. There may be apps that will do that for you. iPhoto doesn't offer streaming.

  • How do you view iPhoto pictures in iPad?

    How can I view the pictures that I saved in my MacBook Pro's iPhoto to my iPad? I read you can do it through iTunes, but how?

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

    My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

    Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it?  From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive"  I'm assuming you can somehow.
    Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there.  If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • E52- how to view the pictures in your gallery as a...

    you can only view the pictures in that n95 circle style - how do you make it like the thumbnails on a pc?
    You could do this before on the 6300
    It really is annoying, as i have a few hundred pictures, and to find one - it takes ages, as i have to scroll through them all!

    If you are willing to pay for a superior third party solution, consider getting Resco Photo Viewer. It supports viewing in thumbnail mode and folder browsing like on a normal desktop gallery application (reminds me of ACDSee) and is so much quicker and easier to use than the Gallery app. You can even set it to cache thumbnails so it will be quicker the next time you use it.
    There is a 14-day trial on there is no harm in trying.

  • Viewing iPhoto pictures on other device

    (Sorry, complete amateur question here.)
    I have iPhoto '09 (v8.1.2) on my Macbook (OS X 10.7.4).  I import a lot of pictures from my DSLR Canon camera.
    I can view the pictures in iPhoto.
    I just got a new iPad.  Is there a way for me to be able to view the pictures on the iPad also??
    Thank you.

    When I sync music from iTunes, it downloads the selected songs from iTunes to the iPad. So if I sync photos from iPhoto to the iPad, I thought the selected photos would also download to the iPad.
    If you took 30 seconds to actually read my post, you'd see that it says "I just want to be able to view the photos and not necessarily have to download" ....  I was looking for a way to just view the photos without having to make a 2nd copy of the actual files.
    Has anyone used a solution similar to this? Or this actual application?
    Next time maybe you can try to answer someone's question without the attitude, skip answering a question, or actually read the question prior to answering.

  • How to erase iPhoto picture backups in Time Machine

    Hello.
    I can't seem to find a way to erase pictures directly in iPhoto while beeing in Time Machine as I do with the finder's wheel button. Delete key or ctrl-clic won't work. How does one do that ?
    Thanks for your reply.

    Hi Barry ! Thanks, I'm happy to be finally subscribed.
    Sorry if I wasn't clear enough before, let me restate it.
    (excuse my english)
    erasing pictures is no problem in iPhoto, but I can't seem to find a way to erase backups while browsing iPhoto Library in the past in Time Machine. Say I have pictures I've deleted, some pictures I don't want anymore (in the present), but Time Machine made a backup of them during many days, weeks, months maybe, how to erase these pictures in Time Machine ?
    I found how to erase backup in the Finder by pressing this button that has a wheel on it and then click on "erase all copies of this file" (I don't know how it's called in english, my system runs in french), but the iPhoto window (while being in Time Machine) doesn't seem to have any kind of buttons. Pressing delete (or backspace) while selecting a picture or an event doesn't erase it. In fact, there's nothing I found that can be done in iPhoto's Time Machine browsing except swiping events and restore pictures.
    My question is: how do you erase backup pictures in Time Machine ? Is it possible to erase directly in Time Machine iPhoto pictures, events ?
    I've look many different forums, including this one, everybody talks about restoring, but I could find very little subjects about deleting backups, and nothing while being in iPhoto directly.
    in fact, the same applies for adressbook application. How to permanently erase contacts ? If I erase them in the program, there's still a backup in Time Machine, and there seems to be no way of erasing them directly in Time Machine, just like in iPhoto. No button or normal functions work for that matter (backspace, ctrl-clic > delete eventually, etc.)
    Sorry for the long post.

  • How to view iPhoto library in finder so photos can be transferred to PC?

    I'm going to store my iPhoto library on an external hard drive by default because I want to be able to view the photos on a PC. However when I import photos from my iPhone, they appear in the iPhoto application but how do I view them in the finder so that I can easily view them as individual picture files on a PC?

    You can not do that  --  the iPhoto library must be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and the PC can not read that - and iPhoto has no cross platform capability and the library is not designed for direct access - it is not supported
    You neet to use a different program tha does have cross platform capability
    Or you can export photos from iphoto and have them on the PC or a drive the PC can access

  • How to view iPhoto photos from WDTV live

    I use WDTV Live and would ideally like to be able to use it to view pictures via streaming from iPhoto on my MBP.  Is this possible, and if so, how do I do it?

    I doubt it unless it understands the sturcture of the iPhoto library - a good source of support might be http://wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=330
    It sounds like you can export photos and then stream them

  • How to restore iPhoto pictures from time machine

    Knowing this:  " When using iPhoto ’11 (version 9.2 or later) and Time Machine with OS X Lion 10.7.2 (or later), iPhoto no longer has the Browse Backups option. This means that instead of restoring specific photos within your iPhoto Library, you must restore your entire iPhoto Library."
    I need to restore from the July 2012 backup iPhoto library a few photos, no more than 50, I guess I need some guidance on how to prevent my current iPhoto library to be overwritten with the contents of an old library, thus erasing all of the pictures I have taken since, that's 2 years ago.
    Should I create a *new* iPhoto library, and restore it with the contents from the time machine? I suppose that once the *new*  has been restored then I can pick up the pictures and export these to my current library.
    I need to be cautious as to how I can do this, I do not want to loose the thousands of pictures I have in my current library and would appreciate if what I intend to do will bring the results I want to have.
    Thanks

    When you restore the library, use the "Restore to" function and not the "Restore". This will let you select a different folder, or if you do not have enough disk space, restore to a different disk. Then open the restored library by double clicking it and export the photos you need to restore.
    Double click your current library to switch back to your current library and import the restored photos.
