I figured out how to put photos onto the Apple TV Screen-Saver

I was having trouble using photos with the Apple TV screen saver.
I got as far as putting them into the photo stream, but some photos were crooked, with no way of editing them.
I called Apple, they didn't know what to do.
I am submitting this after calling Tech Support at Apple, wanting to give them the information...don't know if they really took it to heart.  I figured this out myself with the help of my son.
I want to share it with others.
So, let me begin:
I texted my son, he had set it up once for me, but I deleted the file. 
So he told me to edit the photos on my iPhone, in my photostream.  Well there wasn't any to edit.  The file was not there.
So going through my PC, I clicked on "My Computer" 
I clicked onto "iCloud Photos"
I get what looks like the above photo.  Click on "New photo stream"
You will then get this screen.  In the "to" field, send it to yourself.  And then name your file, click "next".
It will then give you this screen:
When all the photos load, click done.
THEN, go to your Apple TV. 
Settings:
Click on "Screen Saver"
Click on "Photos"
Click on "iCloud Photos"
Click on the file you named on your PC.
Now you will find, like me on "previewing" that some pictures were not straight.
Go to your iPhone, click on your "Camera Roll"
Click on "Photo Stream"
Then you will see your file that you created for your screen saver.
Click onto your file, from there you can click on the crooked photo and click "Edit", it asks to save it to "Camera Roll".  Click there. 
What I did then was delete the crooked picture and at the bottom of this file within your "Photo Stream", go to the bottom of the photos, it will have a tile with a plus sign in it.  Click on that to add from your "Camera Roll" the corrected picture. 
Do this for every crooked photo.
ALL DONE!
When done, go to your "Camera Roll" and delete these photos.

This issue is resolved, through the generous advice of folks on this page.
See my reply to Apple (2nd gen.) photo shuffle.  The Fix that I posted works for Apple 3 Gen, which was just purchased Dec. 27,2013.
Thanks to all

    I am new to Lightroom and have also just changed from Apple to PC.  I cannot figure out how to download photos from the Photoshop library to a file that will be sent to MPIX for processing.  Also, does Lightroom have an easy access to a photo processing capability such as MPIX?

    Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
    This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

  • I recently updated by iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put icons on the desktop as short cuts to my games.

    I recently updated my iphone 4s but can't figure out how to put my game icons on the front page to use as shortcuts to my games. Anyone know?

    Dear Friend ,
    Can you please be more clear by mentioning what do you mean by shortcuts to the games ?
    Still Here is what it takes you to get what you want .
    Firstly , your iPhone by default comes with preset of 16-18 Apps in your Homescreen (including Dock)
    Make sure your apps are installed either directly from the app store in your phone or through iTunes in your Mac or PC
    once they are installed you can notice them by swiping the homescreens.
    Long press the app icon , you can notice they all would be in "jiggle" mode
    Drag them and place them in your home screen

    From your OLD computer...
    Copy your ENTIRE iTunes FOLDER to an External Drive... and then from the External Drive to your New Computer..

  • I tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help

    i tried to sinc my photos and i ended up deleting off my phone all the pictures.  i only ended up with one folder, and i cant figure out how to put rest of folders from my computer back on my phone.....help
    and on a second problem.  I need to know for sure that my contacts are backed up on my computer

    Create a parent folder on your computer to store the named folders of photos that you want transferred to your iPhone. Under the Photos tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes, select the parent folder. All named folders of photos within will be transferred to your iPhone as separate folders or albums.
    Regarding your 2nd question, this should be easy. Your contacts should be available on your computer with or without an iPhone or any cell phone, which can be lost or stolen.
    Although contacts are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, not a good idea to depend on this either since the iPhone backup includes a significant amount of other data. Contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer. With Windoze, this can be with Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 along with syncing calendar events and notes, or with the address book app used by Outlook Express with XP and by Windows Mail with Vista and Windows 7 called Windows Contacts for syncing contacts only.

  • Unable to figure out how to delete photos, there is no trash can in upper right corner?

    Unable to figure out how to delete photos, there is no trash can in upper right corner?

    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad - either via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photo in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view.
    Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.

  • I have an apple iphone 4 that I want to download audio books from my library onto it.  I cannot figure out how to do that.  The iphone does not show up on my mac laptop as a connected device.  Does this kind of download have to run through itunes?  Thanks

    Yes it is done through iTunes. The iPhone will never show up in Finder as a device. The following is general information on iTunes sync: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1386 and the following is a previous discussion where the post by Andreas Junge helped others that had a problem syncing audiobooks: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20052732#20052732

    one have to upload my "Changed" files. I searched Dreamweaver Help

    Appreciate any help you can give me, or point me to somewhere
    on the web that my a step by step procedure.

    Please tell me this - when you look at the name of the site

    list of defined sites on the left top of the Files panel, do
    you see a
    folder icon, or a little computer icon?

    Hey kevyg3,
    I was able to find an article that I believe will help you move your iTunes purchases from your iPhone over to your new computer:
