IPhoto album not appearing on Apple TV

I just created a new album on iPhoto.
The new album appears in iTunes - "Choose Photos to Share" and I checked this particular album; however, the new album is not displayed on the Apple TV.
All my older albums are displayed on Apple TV, but not the new one.
Thanks for your help.

Try quiting iPhoto or restarting iTunes, or turning the Apple TV off and on, or basically anything to close and re-open the homeshare connection.

IPhoto albums not appearing in iTunes

Hi
I usuaully can fix these issues myself but this one has me frustrated. I bought a new Mac around 6 months ago and transferred all photos to the new computer. Everything was working perfectly. However, recently I have added photos to iPhoto in a few new albums. Now, when I try to sync photos with my iPad/iPhone all the old albums are there but none of the new ones are shown. I also cannot stream any of the new albums through to my AppleTV as they do not appear.
I have looked into the Home Sharing preferences in iTunes - File>Home Sharing>Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV and the new albums do not appear there either.
I've looked everywhere but cannot see why it does not pick up these new albums. Around the time, I put all my media on an external drive and changed the pathway but it all seems fine for my musice, tv and movies but not photos.
So they albums are in iPhoto but not in iTunes.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

If a new library worked then your current library is damaged. Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #3, followed by #4 and then #1 as needed.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IPhoto Albums not Appearing in List to Sync with Nano

I have a second gen nano. I want to sync an iPhoto album on it. When I look at the Photos tab in iTunes, there are no albums listed in the "selected albums" box. In fact, the radio button for that choice is grayed out as well.
How can I get the "selected albums" box to populate?

For anyone reading this later, look at Dave's messages in this thread. I followed his advice to edit the appropriate xml file and it solved the problem.

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV

Album artwork not appearing on Apple TV anyone with same problem or fix

Bilk you're not alone! No Album Art work will load on my Apple TV now, despite having artwork for ALL my albums, my iOS devices display the the artwork (iTunes Match) I live in the UK. (Virgin Media customer) I've had nothing but problems since the last 2 OS updates, I have 3rd and 2nd gen Apple TVs, both now have the same problems, I have done full restore on both devices, still doesn't work. I hope Apple fixes the software soon.

ITunes or iPhoto do not appear when I click the music or photo icons

I wish to add music & photos to my production in iMovie. But when I click the music or photo icons, iTunes and iPhotoe do not appear in the boxes that open. I can have them open in another window and drag them in, but this is not what is supposed to happen, what can I do ?

Do you mean you have checked the box: "Always use private browsing mode"? If so, it's intentional that the private browsing icon isn't displayed as we didn't want Firefox to be showing everyone within view that you're using private browsing mode IIRC.
There are some easy things you can do to confirm that you are in private browsing mode such as visiting a new website and then confirming it doesn't appear in the history window.

New photo albums not appearing in iTunes

I upgraded to IOS6. Now when I create a new photo album in iPhoto it does not appear in iTunes when I sync my iPad. I am now no longer able to add photo albums to my iPad. I do not want to use the cloud to manage my photos. Anyone else encounter this problem?

Indeed, following the instructions from this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1614078&tstart=60
first led to iTunes finally clearing its cached information, but it still would not adop the new Contacts. They would only appear after following the instructions from the other thread mentioned above:

Thanks for posting these solutions.

Complete iPhoto library not displayed by Apple TV

I have the 2nd generation Apple TV with home sharing active with MacbookPro 15" with all the latest iLife '11 software. One issue is that events from one iPhoto library are displayed in a different order on Apple TV than on iPhoto. No big problem, but confusing. Second, bigger issue is with larger iPhoto library (51,000 photos and 850 events). Only about 1/4 of the events show up in Apple TV, and strangely, they are in the same order as in iPhoto. The Apple TV apparently has an 8GB flash memory for buffering. Is this a limiting factor in how large an iPhoto library that can be displayed by the Apple TV?

There is a limit based on the 8GB internal storage on the ATV2. I confirmed this with Express Lane support today. ATV2 will try to load your entire library but will stop when it gets to the limit and does not provide any messages stating that the limit has been reached. This means that you will get roughly the first 20,000 of your library, starting with the most recent.
The work around is to select which albums or folders from iPhoto that are to be synced, much like you would do for an iPod or iPhone that can't fit your whole music or photo library. This selection process is done in iPhoto's Sharing preferences where you select Share my photos and choose the second option to Share selected albums. Note that the list will contain iPhoto folders as well as albums.
Once you reach the 8GB limit, you may also have a problem playing the video files in your iPhoto library that appear to have been synced, as the full videos are not loaded until they are selected for playing. Once that is tried, ATV2 will likely crash as the 8GB limit is exceeded. No harm is done to your library that is safe.
This whole process is not well supervised by the ATV2 system as it keeps the user in the dark.

Descriptions of Iphoto are not appearing in Front Row

I have several slideshows of photos in Iphoto. Those slideshow contains descriptions for certain photos.
When playing those slideshows via Front Row, the descriptions are not appearing.
Further, only the first track of music linked to those slideshows is playing and repeating its own, instead of going over to the 2nd and 3nd music partition.
Any idee how to solve those problems? Will Front row on the apple Tv or on the Mac mini show the same ?
Many thanks.

First of all many thanks for your help.
In Iphoto, below on the left of the window, when you select an album, you see the title, the date and hour, the Key word, the type and size of the selected photo in the album. Below that is the 'description' that you can enter. This description is displayed in Iphoto when playing the photo show. This description is also transferred to Idvd, what means that it is possible to burn a Dvd to be watched on your Tv. Synchronizing the same album with the Ipod transfers the photos but not the description. And, in my opinion, there is no way to do it. Exporting the album gives the possibility to select the title and the key-word of the photo, but not the description. I tried this out, and unfortunately it is not working (only the title is transferred). Exporting the same album to as Web Page gives the possibility to select the description for export.
As I am eventually interested in the acquisition of a Apple Tv or a Mac Mini as Media center, I tried on my Imac to use Front Row in order to be sure that the 'description' of my photos will show on Tv as it is the case via a Dvd.
And in fact, the 'description' is not taken into account by Front row.
I hope that this long story is clear enough and that somebody has a solution.
Thanks

Pics from iPhoto Albums not all showing in iPhone tab in iTunes

I am trying to sync several of my iPhoto albums with my iPhone. With most of my albums when I click on the photo tab in iTunes, it shows WAY less pictures than are in the real album. Does anyone know what could be causing this or how to fix it? I really want all pics from the albums I choose to move to phone.

Apparently sometimes, for various reasons (replacement of a track in the Store with another copy, slight changes in the release identification, etc.) the link between the track and your Purchase History can break, which will result in the track not appearing as eligible for iTunes Plus upgrade even though it exists as Plus in the Store.
Contact the iTunes Store Customer Service department using the form at the bottom of the Purchase Issues FAQ web page (there is no category specifically for this issue, so I'd suggest just picking one under the Purchases - problem area) and explain the problem to them. It may take a couple of email exchanges to get past the "form" email responses, but eventually they should work out a solution for you. You may need to provide the track name, artist and order number so they can confirm the original purchase.
Regards.

ICloud photo albums not showing on Apple TV

Hi,
I made the switch to iCloud photos using the new Photos app, and converted all my old shared events to Albums. I can see them on my iPad, iPhone, and computer, but I can't see them on my Apple TV. In the settings on Apple TV, I have Photo Stream turned off, and iCloud Photo Sharing turned on.

You know what - i had the same thing happen to me yesterday, but this was on my iPhone not my Apple TV.
I had media (movies, tv shows, music) synced but when i went into the iPod section of the phone it said i had no media at all. I plugged the phone back into iTunes and this confimed(by the status bar) I had nearly 20Gb of media on the phone. Unplugged and checked again - phone still reporting no media. Plugged back into iTunes, did a sync, watched as nothing was physically copied over to the phone, unplugged and all the media re-appeared.
iTunes definately did not sync anything as the actual sync took less than a minute.
Now, i know my issue is not about the Apple TV but it does sound like the same issue I had on my phone which points to the common factor in both cases - iTunes.

IPhoto albums not found in Finder window

I have all my photos well organized in iPhoto, in albums and folders - all labelled exactly what they are. However if I go into the iPhoto Library via a Finder window all I get are numbers which mean nothing to me. My titles don't show at all and I've no idea how to quickly find the image I want.
Incidentally, when I'm in iPhoto the titles do show in the information panel.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Many thanks

Hi Dijw,
iPhoto 5 now stores the Album information in a data xml file. The Albums folder within the iPhoto Library folder is no longer used. At some point, usually after a rebuild, you will no longer have that folder in the Finder.
If you need to access photos from an album it is very difficult for a third party application to navigate the iPhoto Library in order to find the photo you need. You will have to know the date of import in order to find the photo.
There are some third party applications that can read the xml file and can navigate the iPhoto library and show you the Albums. Hopefully more applications will be revised to read this file.
Until then you will have to Share/Export the photos to the desktop. You can then navigate to the desktop to use the photos (example: web uploading from online photo site)
If your application supports drag and drop, you can drag the photo from an open iPhoto Library window into your application.
For email you can also use the email icon within iPhoto to open a message with the highlighted photo attached.
You can also use spotlight to find images in an Album...
This is what I have done using Spotlight to find my images that are in iPhoto albums without opening iPhoto..
In iPhoto, select the album, then select all, go to Photos/batch change.
Change the comments to text. In the text field I put the name of the Album.
Do this for each album.
Close iPhoto.
Open Spotlight and put in the name of the Album ( you have to remember the names of the albums or have then written down)
In the spotlight search results. click on "show all"
Under "Images" click on the "xx more" to show all the images in the album.
Make sure you have it in icon view, the icon view box is the last one on the blue images line.
Now you can control click on the image to "reveal in finder", open in iPhoto or Mail, etc.
I am not sure if this is going to make you happy and it is a little more work, but you can find images in albums and even view them in a slideshow (by clicking the play arrow at the end of the Images highlighted blue line) using Spotlight, all without opening iPhoto.
One important thing to know is you can set up a graphic program to be an external editor (when you double click an image in the library} such as PhotoShop or PS Elements. You set up that within iPhoto Preferences. Just make sure you save the image flattened and with the same name. The edits will then be relected in iPhoto when you hit "save".
I have just found this useful piece of info at Macoshints.com
"Since Apple developed its "digital hub", with iLife and now iWork, I have wanted to have a system-wide panel that would let me choose pictures from my iPhoto library without having to open the application.
For example, if I want to add a picture to a TextEdit RTFD document, I had to launch iPhoto, chose the picture, and drag it to the document. Waiting for iPhoto to launch can be long if you have a lot of photos.
But there is a way to get around this, using an Automator action.
1. Open Automator, and click iPhoto.
2. From the list of actions, select Ask for Photos, and drag it to the right-hand pane.
3. Save this as a plug-in, and select Script Menu (the script menu that displays in the menu bar) so it is accessible anywhere. (If this menu is not visible, launch the AppleScript Utility in /Applications/Applescript, and check 'Show Script Menu in menu bar.')
Next time you need a picture from your iPhoto library, select this action from the AppleScript menu, and you'll have a media browser that lets you do so without opening iPhoto. "

Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
About the iPhoto Library folder
Now for the titles issue...titles you give images in iPhoto stay within iPhoto. The original file name always remains the same in the Finder.
Now for finding the photos in the Finder.
iPhoto 6 Library folder in the Finder
As you can see the structure is now related to rolls. Rolls are created for each folder you import and each import session from a camera.
It is very easy to change the names of film rolls within iPhoto to make them easier to find images within. Open the info panel in iPhoto by clicking on the "i" icon. Once it is opened, click on the roll title in the viewing window.
Click on the word "title" in the info pane and type in your new title. I like to use a date and text format such as 12/25/05 Christmas at Mom's, 1/05/06 my birthday, etc. Once the roll names are changed within iPhoto, they are also changed within the Finder, making it easy to locate an image.
When importing from a camera, make sure you name the roll with a date and text before the import.

Videos in iPhoto do not appear in iMovie event browser

After successfully importing 60 or so video clips into imovie:
Clips appear and function normally in iPhoto.
Clips do not appear in iMovie event browser unless they are 4 seconds in length or less.
Previous imports from the same camera worked fine.
It started happening after the most recent software updates.

Deleting the prefs did for it to activate this scan:
Upadating iPhoto video events
Scanning for new videos in your iPhoto library
But it still shows no videos in the iPhoto Video part of the Event Libary. I am using iPhoto 8.0.6 under MacOS 10.7.5.
When I choose Show Date Ranges in Events list under iMovie preferences, it shows Feb 24, 2008. What does that mean? What happened on Feb 24, 2008? I have over 1000 movies in my iPhoto Library ranging from 2005 to present.
Any other ideas? Someone suggested removing the "&" symbol from the titles of Events, which I did. Should i also remove the "&" symbol from the titles of the photos and movies? What about other symbols like ":". It seems crazy that Apple would make their software so fragile that ASCII symbols could break it.
thanks

IPhoto folders not appearing for online upload on Yosemite

I have all of my photos in iPhoto organized into events. In Mavericks, when uploading photos online (to facebook, pinterest, etc) I was able to easily find what I was looking for since the iPhoto events appeared in my internet browser. Since updating to Yosemite, I am not able to find what photo I am looking for since the events do not appear. My entire iPhoto library appears instead.
I have a macbook pro 2.6 GHz Intel Core i7. 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3. I typically use chrome, but the upload doesn't work in Safari either. iPhoto version 9.6.

Try quiting iPhoto or restarting iTunes, or turning the Apple TV off and on, or basically anything to close and re-open the homeshare connection.

How do I connect my (once) existing IPhoto Albums (now Photos) to Apple TV?

How do I now connect my (previously existing) IPHOTO albums (now Photos) to my Apple TV and where are my **** albums?

You do not... no computer is "connected" to an ATV.
Content on the computer can be shared via HomeSharing.
A newer Mac is required for AirPlay support.

IPhoto does not appear on desktop, only in Dashboard mode

Hey guys,
Has anyone had this problem - the iPhoto window does not appear on the desktop, and can only be seen in Dashboard mode. Once that tiny window in the Dashboard mode is clicked, the program hides.
I hope to hear from someone soon about this. Thank you!

Are you using separate desktops with Spaces? If so, try disable it and see if the window shows up. Otherwise you can try trash the com.apple.iphoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder
