Incomplete photostream on AppleTV

I recently noticed that new photostream pictures weren't loading to my AppleTV photostream. I read some threads about this problem and as they suggested, I signed out of my photostream account and logged back in. When I did, the new pictures came up on the AppleTV -- 35 of them -- but the rest of my pictures (there are about 900 showing up in photostream on both my computer and my phone) did not. How do I get these pictures back? I did a full factory reset, but it's still just the 35 pictures showing (they go back a few weeks). Some threads have suggested this is a bug with the most recent AppleTV update. Is that confirmed? Has anyone figured this one out?

Bumping -- anyone? I miss seeing so many family pictures!

Photostream on appletv not loading

I can't seem to get any photos from my icloud to show on my apple tv. They appear on my ipad and icloud.com but zero on my appletv. I've updated the software, logged out and back in, ensured photostream is on amd restarted appletv a few times. Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Photostream incomplete in appleTV

I installed the latest update for appleTV. I also installe IOS 5.1 on my iPhone. This version of iOS allows me to delete photos from my photostream. So I deleted a few photos that I didn't want in the photostream. After deleting a few photos, I turned on the appleTV and looked at my photostream, All the photos are still there. So I logged out of the appleTV photostream and logged back in. It showed my photostream empty and started downloading the images. However it only downloaded 7 images. I have over 200 images in the Photostream according to my iPhone.
So two bugs observed:
1) Deleting photos from the iPhone Photostream does not delete it from all other devices.
2) Logging out of Photostream from appleTV and logging back in will only download a few images from the photostream. Not all images show up.
Anyone else observe this? And figure out how to get all the photos from photostream to show up on the appleTV?

Here's what I discovered after I experienced the same problem, i.e., could only see a limited number of photos in my photostream on my AppleTV. You need to go to your computer and open iPhoto. You will notice that your most recent photostream photos are the only ones included under the Photo Stream button. If you want to see more of your photos on AppleTV you need to move them from wherever they are located (for example, Last 12 Months) to Photo Stream. You cannot do this from your iPhone; you must enter iPhoto on your computer. I don't think you can fix this if you don't have Lion on your computer, but I could be wrong.
As for signing out of Photo Stream on Apple TV, you can do this on the Photo Stream page. The sign out is written in very small letters right above your photos.

Trying to open Photostream via Apple TV - it says Terms of Service have changed - but I go to /support/icloud and can no place to agree to new terms of service

I'm trying to open Photostream on AppleTV; the screen says Terms of Service have changed and go to /support/icloud. I go there but can find no place to see the new terms of service and/or agree to them.

Go to You Tube and Watch How to Tech Video (h2tech) and there is a video that says "How to Connect Your Photostream.
I am getting that same comment about the terms of service have changed blah blah blah.
The second option you see that says use different account. Try your icloud/photostream user id and password - should be the same as your main one. At least mine is.
Anyway, try checking out the UTube videos... Hope this helps. I know how FRUSTRATING this stuff can be. : )

Share Photos in iTunes for AppleTV 3

I had an AppleTV 2 and just bought an AppleTV 3. It used to be that in iTunes (before version 11), you would enable Photo sharing,select the folder you wished to share, and it would show on the AppleTV under Computers.
Ever since iTunes 11, I noticed that that feature is now under Home Sharing. I turn it on but will not show under Computers.
I read about turning on PhotoStream on AppleTV, but I believe this is for iCloud.
I do not want to send my photos to iCloud.
Can I just see my photos on AppleTV without using iCloud, the old fashion way?

Same issue with me, too.
There are a long and growing list of folks on the forum, all with this same problem, but nothing form Apple. My photos are stuck on my computer. I can't sync my iPad Air or my iPhone. I am not sure exactly when it started, but it was following a recent update. Before that everything worked fine.
Like most of you, I have cleared the iPod cache, repaired permissions, rebuilt my iPhoto library, tried creating a smaller new library, I even checked my iPhoto AlbumDataXML. When I checked the XML, I saw some odd things. I was looking for songpath, since on another forum, someone found that there was a glitch when certain songs were associated with files. The odd thing was that in my library there were many photos that showed songpath associations, but when i checked iPhoto, there were no songs associated with them. And I found several songpaths associated with iLife. So something was wrong there. I rebuilt the database and the odd songpaths went away. Unfortunately, it did nothing for the iTunes sync problem.
I see nothing in the photo tab when I sync, just a spinning wheel. VERY VERY FRUSTRATING, especially given how many forum discussions there are about this and it has been going on for months.
Hey APPLE are you out there??

My photostream stays empty in Apple TV

I work with Aperture3 for photo's.
My photostream in Aperture3 has over a 1000 pictures.
However when I go to photostream on AppleTV, it keeps indicating zero photos.
In Itunes I have homesharing on, also on ApplTV

I assume these photos are over 30 days old. Photo Stream only holds photos on the server for 30 days meaning they got pushed to your mac but are no longer available to be pushed to ATV. Upload a photo to Photo STream now and see if it syncs.

Photo filenames being changed, due to Photostream?

I have an Eye-Fi card set up to import photos taken with my Canon DSLR to my Photostream. Other than the occasional image not being imported, which is discussed in other threads already, it seems to be working. It allows me to view photos taken on my iPad almost immediately and I'm semi-happy with the set-up. I'd be thrilled if not for the occasional missed photo glitch.
My workaround for the missed photo glitch is to occasionally plug my card into my iMac and check the card with iPhoto. Anything not already imported is recognized and tehn imported, in other words it "catches up". Not ideal, but it works.
It's been about 3 months since I've connected my iPhone of iPad to my Mac, but the last iOS update noted that they would need to be connected and wifi sync enabled for wireless syncing, which was what I had before. This week-end was my first opportunity to do that.
When I did, iPhoto shows that I have about 1900 photos already imported, but about 2500 not imported! That made no sense since I sync all my photos for my iOS devices through Photostream. I started comparing photos and they all seem to be in iPhoto, obviously I've not compared all of them and not sure I'd ever have the time to do it. Not in this lifetime anyway! They seem to be duplicates in every way except file name. Exif information is exactly the same, down to the second in both photos, but one is called IMG_7143.jpg, the other IMG_1124.jpg. Not even close enough to each other to explain a slight similarity, but what could possibly be happening in this workflow that could be creating entirely new file names. Isn't that created by the camera when the file/photo is created??
I apologize if this has been covered in another topic already but when I tried to do a search for information I just kept finding posts about how to change file names during import, changes, etc. Nothing about this issue. I'm running latest versions of all software, OS X and iOS on all devices.
Thanks in advance for any information.
Sláinte

I downloaded 4300 photos from my iPad to a desktop folder using Image Capture. Prior to download, iPad showing in iPhoto, it stated I had 1837 photos already imported, 2463 new photos for import. After adding all the photos to the new folder iPhoto reported the same results when I selected the folder for import. I was able to compare some of the photos that I could see "would be" duplicated if I were to run the import and, again, they are exactly the same (Exif) except for the file names. For example, when I compared 5 photos from 2/23/14 that were the same they are IMG_0268 through 0272 in iPhoto. In the image capture download folder they are IMG_3729 through 3733. It seems to me the file names on the iPad are the original names since they are in line with the file numbering on the camera right now.
I'm sure this is a dumb question but I'm going to ask it anyway, could Photostream be renaming files?? It's the only thing that makes sense because the current workflow is take photo -> wifi transfer (Eye Fi) to iPad -> iPad sync with Photostream -> Photostream sync with iPhoto. Due to the issue with incomplete Photostream syncs I always check to make sure everything on the card is synced with iPhoto before erasing, there's always a few but this always catches them. The issue is that there are a bunch of photos on the iPad that were taken with the DSLR camera and have already been synced to iPhoto but now have a different name and appear to iPhoto to be new and unique.
Frustrating!!

Photostream storage use

I am a bit confused about Photostream and storage use. Have search the communities, just to find out that there are a lot of different answers. I have also search Apple Support without any success, so here I go:
Photostream on OS X:
The photos i Photostream are stored in iCloud. I have to save them or transfer them into iPhoto, before they use any storage?
Photostream on AppleTV:
Just stream, they will never be downloaded or use any storage? They still be in iCloud?
iOS:
Photos in Photostream use storage on my device, if I choose to look at them or using others shared Photostream?
If this i true, why the difference between storage use on the different devices?
(I am aware of, that photos taken on my iOS use storage in the Camera Roll, but if the pictures are transferred from another camera into my OS X, they still be appering in Photostream on my iOS)
I really appriciate an answer, preferably with a source.
Best Regards

Hi randers4
thank you for your replay
1. "OS X: Photo stream photos are streamed to iPhoto. They can automatically be imported to your iPhoto library by checking Automatic Import in iPhoto>Preferences>Photo Stream."
Demands that you choose to do so.
2. "Apple TV: Photo stream photos only stream to your Apple TV as it lacks internal storage to store photos. They remain in iCloud for 30 days."
Yes, I understand that, but why can you stream from Apple TV, without downloading, and are forced to download on your iOS-device?
I´m sorry if I wasn´t clear in my question:
Why does Photostream on a iOS-device use storage automaticly, if OS X and Apple TV doesn't?
Best Regards

IPhoto (and AppleTV) shows different iCloud contents

I have already posed a problem relating to iPhoto's use of the PhotoStream in iCloud at https://discussions.apple.com/message/23761310#23761310 and this is a sort of extension to that.
I was looking at the photos in my PhotoStream on AppleTV today and I noticed that there were a few very old photos there (up to 10 months old, in fact). I checked with the photos shown for iCloud on my MacBook Air and these older photos were not included there. Then I saw that there were also photos that are not included under iCloud on my iPad. In fact, on each "machine" (AppleTV, MacBook Air, iPad) the PhotoStream was different. (I didn't check my iMac, but I think that matched the iCloud on the MacBook Pro).
I assume this is a problem, or am I not understanding the PhotoStream incorrectly?
(iPhoto '11 version 9.5)

Hi David Neale1!
This may seem elementary, but you may need to make sure that you are signed in to the same iCloud account across all of your devices. This article will also include some further troubleshooting help for you:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
If you prefer to have only the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices, and delete the older photos:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (on a device using iOS 6, go to Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream). Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
Repeat these steps for each device.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

How do i change the order of a flickr slideshow

We're using AppleTV to display a slideshow of a Flickr photostream, but AppleTV appears to be randomizing the order of the images in the slideshow. The photostream on the Flickr web site has the images in the correct order.
I've searched through the settings, and can't seem to find anything about sorting the slideshow in AppleTV.

Get info on the files. Make sure each has the correct track number, disc number and same album name. If by various artists make sure there is an identical Album Artist for each.
This is of course presuming yu also have your window set to sort by album view and not something such as by artist name.

Airplay Mirroring shows only black screen on ATV

I have a mid 2011 MacBook Pro and a 3rd generation Apple TV. When I installed Mountain Lion a couple of weeks ago and tried out Airplay Mirroring, it worked fine.
I wanted to try it out again today, but it doesn't work anymore. When switching to Airplay Mirroring by clicking on the icon in the menu bar, the Apple TV turns black and I am getting the color wheel on the MBP ever time I get to the menu bar. The Airplay Mirroring button is unresponsive and the only way to get the color wheel to go away is to restart the MBP.
I've already restarted the Apple TV multiple times, as well as my Time Capsule.
When streaming videos from within iTunes using AirPlay, everything works fine. Also AirPlay Mirroring from my iPhone works fine.
Anyone have any suggestions what could be the cause of the black screen and MBP crash?

Just chiming it that I have the very same problem. I bought an AppleTV yesterday. I have an early 2011 MacBook Pro running OS X 10.8.2 (Is that Mountain Lion, or Lion? Whatever, it's the latest OS. Stop with silly names Apple - just versions OK - I digress). I have 2.7 Ghz Core i7 processor and 8GB of RAM. So, I am within specs for AirPlay mirroring.
So, it mirrored once fine. I logged out of the MacBook and into another account, and it would show a blank screen on the TV. Thought it might be something with parental controls or something, so logged back into my account, and now all we get is a blank screen. Reboots of the AppleTV do nothing. Went ahead and installed the latest firmware on the AppleTV.
All other AirPlay devices work fine. I can stream from my iPhones.
This is so not like Apple to have such a buggy feature shipped with a device. I probably wouldn't use it that much, but don't put it in there if it doesn't work right. There are several threads on this topic, so it's not a unique problem.
Also, Photostream for AppleTV is poo poo, too. Another topic.

Restore photostream pictures from AppleTV to MacBookPro?

I had to rebuild my macbook pro this weekend. There are pictures that i have uploaded to a PhotoStream that I can see on my AppleTV. However, they are older than 30 days. So when i started up iPhoto on the mac, those pictures are not showing up in the PhotoStream---but i would like to have copies of them back! Is it possible to restore those photostream pictures from my AppleTV onto my Mac?

You cannot selectively restore some of the iCloud content and not other content. When you restore it is all or nothing and when you do restore any data you created since the backup was made will be lost. The iCloud backup contains camera roll photos. To restore read http://support.apple.com/kb/ph12521

Duplicates in Shared Photostream in iOS Photos, Mac OS X iPhoto, AppleTV, but not iCloud Web

Just started using the shared Photostream feature today, and we noticed that the first shared Photostream we tried duplicated all the photos that were shared if viewed from iPhoto or AppleTV. The web site for the shared Photostream does have exactly the right pictures with no duplicates.
All versions of the software mentioned are the latest.
Background: I did have to turn on Photostream for iPhoto for the user, and the user had never used iPhoto Photostream before. We might have tried sharing once, then cancelled to get a better list of email addresses before sending out the invitation, but we didn't hit OK, only Cancel.

You know you're not talking to Apple here, right? Only other users, just like you.
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to Apple.

Photostream incomplete to iphone 5

Just got my iphone 5. Photos in iphone 4 Photostream backed up by icloud did not fully transferred to new iphone 5. Can someone help?

Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days. After that they are deleted from your photo stream but not from any devices that already have the photos in their photo stream album. That's why your 3GS and your computer still have all 267 photos but your new phone only received 44; the others are no longer there to receive. If they are on your PC, you should be able to put the missing photos in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing. If you really want them back in your photo stream, you can use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them from your computer to your iPhone 5 camera roll. Once there, they will be seen as new photos and added to your photo stream.
