Iphoto and apple tv

Why do some photos appear horizontally when I use them as screen saver via Apple TV2. They are the right way up when viewed in iphoto??

Your photos are stored in iPhoto Package File in your Pictures Folder. However, there are no "user serviceable" parts there, I'm afraid, and mucking around with the library is great way to corrupt it. Further, there are no album folders there. Albums in iPhoto are virtual entities. That's why you can have a pic in 1, 10 or 100 albums with no wasted disk space.
So, it's best to troubleshoot why your albums aren't appearing as available: are you using any non-Ascii characters in the Album names, for instance? Also Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.

Shared photo streams in iPhoto and Apple TV

Why is this proving so difficult for Apple to get right?
All I want to do is create private albums that I can share with family and have them sync back to my Mac so that all I need to do is organise my photos ONCE (i.e. on iPhone or iPad) and see these albums in iPhoto where they are also backed up locally.
I've created a shared photo stream album, shared it with my wife... she can see it on her phone... great.
I look in my iPhoto and there is no sign whatsoever that I've ever created a shared album. Just the main photo stream mess as usual.
Also, I go to my Apple TV and the same thing, just the same "every photo ever" mess.
I've recently taken to using Vimeo because this provides exactly what I need for home video. Create edited video in iMovie for iPad or Mac, then upload it to Vimeo, and share it only with family. I can then view them back on Mac, Apple TV, iPad etc.

ITUNES,iPHOTO and Apple TV HELP

I am trying to sync my photo library on my Mac to Apple TV. While in Itunes, I select Apple TV, click on photos and then "choose folder". The problem is that my "iphoto" file, where my pictures are, is grayed out.
How do I select the file of my choice or how do I get my iphoto file not grayed out. How does itunes select by default, the proper picture file.
Thanks in advance for your help.
Brad

*The later. I use the "Choose Folder"option. When I navigate to the libray, it is grayed out so I cannot select.*
I do not know what libray itunes is choosing by default. The album listy displayed is not the one I want to use. Since Iphoto does not have a "save as" feature, I cannot determine what library iphoto saves to. Very strange and a departure from normal file management(editorial).
I have put a photo library, one that I know id the correct libray, on drive 1. When I go there, it is grayed out.

Iphotos and apple TV

I am struggling getting my iphotos off of my iMAC to my Apple TV. I understand that you need to go through Itunes...and I believe the problem may be in the name of the accounts. We have one User ID for our Apple TV/iMac and another user id for Itunes... is this what the problem is? The apple tv does not recognize our computer. ??? Help???

Most likely.
Stay signed in with the iMac iTunes account on the iMac, but for iMac Home Sharing use the same credentials as you do on AppleTV.
You might be better off sticking to a single account as they can't be merged.

Aperture 2 vs. iPhoto and Apple Mail

I thought I heard that Aperture 2 would have a "save to Aperture" option in Mail similar to iPhoto - I guess not. So I am trying to move entirely away from iPhoto to Aperture - How do folks deal with those great photos that come to them via e-mail. The various options I see are (1) Use iPhoto to collect and then move and remove from iPhoto (2) Store image to folder and then import into Aperture and delete image in folder.
Any work process suggestions?
Thx Bill

I'm considering upgrading to the new version of Aperture (3.1) from a little used 2.x version.
Yes, go for the new version - get it from the Apple App Store, it's a good price.
My question (finally) is am I able to delete all images in the Aperture library (and basically start over) without affecting my current iPhoto library?
You can delete your Aperture library which is in the Pictures folder. When you next launch Aperture it will prompt you for a new library. At that stage import your iPhoto library.
Secondly, am I then able to delete the iphoto library (which is taking up significant space on the HD.)
If you let Aperture copy the photos from iPhoto to Aperture you can then delete the iPhoto library.

Problems with slideshows on iphoto and Apple TV (no sound)

I have encountered a problem with iPhoto slideshows when streaming to Apple TV (using mirroring). The slideshow plays ok, as far as the photos are concerned, but no sound is coming through. When I play the slideshow on the iMac, the slideshow is fine - photos and music playing as they are set up in the slideshow settings.
Is anyone else having the same issue? It has previously worked fine so I wondered if it might be something on the most recent update?

Hello, I don't have any of those things, but...
Long shot, but...
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4. iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2. I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer. NB. I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system. I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
Many thanks,
Elza

Advised how, exactly?

Emailing smaller photos, despite selecting actual size in iphoto and mail

Everytime I select to email a photo from iphoto, and select actual sized in both iphoto and apple mail program it makes it smaller. I looked at every preference i could find and dont see what is making it do this. It is not do to the size i can send out throught the server. Even small picture files are made smaller.

The relationship between the quality of an image and the file size is quite complicated. You can have a very large image that's as blurry as all get out, you can have quite a small one that's sharp as a tack.
What do you want to do with these photos? Further editing in a lossless editor? File size is not so important. Editing in a lossy editor, file size is important. Screen display? Unimportant. Printing? Quite important and so on.
Remember too, iPhoto exports photos and puts them into files. You can alter the level of compression applied to jpegs, or export to a different format altogether, using the File -> Export dialogue.
The key question is what you want to do with the photos.

Unable to update iPhoto and iMovie. "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID"

I updated to Yosemite and all went well but for the message "Update Unavailable with This Apple ID" for the two apps iPhoto and iMovie. I have tried using the terminal window and used code that others have suggested and obtained a SmartSearch. I deleted everything in that folder and I still can't update these two apps. The other apps updated without problems. Thanks for any help.

For a couple of years now, the verson of the iLife apps that come preinstalled on new Macs are the Mac App Store (MAS) versions. MAS apps have the Apple ID that bought them encoded in the app as an anti-piracy scheme. Since these apps are preinstalled, before using any of the three apps, the new Mac owner must open the MAS, go to the Purchases pane and accept these apps into their MAS account. This allows the MAS to encode the owners Apple ID into the apps.
Failure to accept these apps into your account and have them encoded with your Apple ID before using one of them renders the apps "as is" and they cannot be updated or downloaded to another Mac. The only way that I know of to rectify the problem is to use OS X Recovery to erase the Mac and reinstall OS X and the iLife apps, so that the initial setup can be attempted again and the apps be accepted into the MAS account and encoded with the Apple ID.

After updating to Mavericks, I have been unable to update iphoto, and when I attempt to, it says that These apps were already assigned to another Apple ID, and they will be available in that Apple ID's Purchases list.

But no other appleID has ever been used on my computer, how could this be resolved?

Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They're the only ones who can sort out account issues.

Apps on old Apple ID. Can't access email but will I lose my pics if delete iPhoto and rebuy on new id?

When I bought my iMac, the Apple store helped me set it up (move everything from my p.c. to the Mac. To set up iPhoto, I used my original Apple ID which is now unusable due to changing my email address. I kept the password the same so I could always get into it but it won't work now.
Most of the apps I bought on my original apple id I have deleted since I cannot update them. Now that I have to update iPhoto and can't, I am worried. If I delete iPhoto to buy again on my 5 year old "new" Apple ID, will I lose all my pictures, videos, etc?
What is the work around for this? Losing my pictures is not an option but if I cannot use iPhoto due to upgrading to Yosemite, then what?
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

First, try the new password. If you didn't sign out of iCloud prior to changing the primary email address of your Apple ID, this is what can cause this problem.
Also, read this: If you're asked for the password to your previous Apple ID when signing out of iCloud - Apple Support

How to change the Apple ID for iPhotos and iMovies(The first ID used in the mac book)?

I found that every time when I want to update the iphotos and imovies and the native apps in the mac book it is needed to use the first apple id that used for the first time you turn on the mac book.
Since that id is not used now and i want to change it, any body knows how to change it?
And although my current admin id has changed, but still when updating iphotos the very first id is needed...

Correct. Apps are Tied to the Apple ID that Purchased them...
From Here http://support.apple.com/kb/HE37
I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.

Only some of my photo's are syncing from iPhoto to my iPad, iPhone and Apple TV.
It may be my own fault due to learning Aperture and playing around with the locations of the Master Files.
The thing I don't understand is that when in iPhoto all thumbnails of all photo's are able to be enlarged / edited etc. When a thumbnail is clicked on there is no gray triangle with an exclamation mark indicating that the link to the original photo can't be found. I would have thought this was ok for syncing to take place.
When trying to sync through iTunes to my iPad for example (after some photo's have been synced) a window comes up saying "Some of your photos, including the photo “_MG_3820.jpg”, were not copied to the iPad “Mark Harlen’s iPad” because they cannot be displayed on your iPad".
I thought this may be due to lack of memory space but my Apple TV (which has the same issue but not the same warning window) has over over 100 free GB's so that can't be it.
When I did a test and re imported one photo that wasn't being synced to my other devices, that photo consequently was then synced so maybe it has something to do with the path through iPhoto to the original files.
Is there any way I can re establish these links with out having to create an entire new iPhoto library from the originals (I have a lot of albums and have done a lot of editing etc and don't and want to have to do it all again).
I look forward to you help and advice
Mark

Thanks for the advice but it didn't seem to work
I've decided to try ditching iPhoto and orgainising, syncing my photo's to all devices from Aperture
I have so far imported over 1200 photo's (relocating and renaming the master files as well) and find that when syncing through iTunes only 209 photo's are listed. The Projects/Albums are there but some indicate that there are 0 photo's in them when I know other wise (at least according to whats happing in Aperture)
I'm starting to suspect it may be a computer problem
Any thoughts?
Regards
Mark
PS: Just after posting this I restarted my computer, went into iTunes and my Apple TV started to sync. It was now syncing 854 photo's not 209 as before.

Is it possible to reorder an iPhoto book 2 years later? My hard drive crashed and the photo book is no longer in my iPhoto but Apple printed it for me before the crash. Would Apple still be able to print another copy?

For future books you might consider doing what I do: create a separate library for each book andcopy the photos for the book from your working library to the book library with iPhoto Library Manager.
When the book is completed and ordered burn the library package to a CD, DVD or external HD to archive it so it's available for editing and reordering at a later date if needed.

What is wrong with my shipping address? I want to order pictures via apple store with iPhoto. Apple Id and payment seem ok. My current and correct shipping address appears with red letters. Why and what to do?

Maybe this is relevant: I bought iphoto from the German apple store but I now live in Italy. I have tried German credit card with German invoicing address and Italian shipping address. And I have tried Italian credit card with Italian invoicing address and Italian shipping address. The phenomenon is the same: shipping address appears in red and I am asked to fill in the mandatory fields (which turn red whatever I enter).

KarinavD,
what is the setting for the Print Products Store in the Advanced Tab of the iPhoto Preferences?
The country you select there has to match the billing address. And your billing address should match the country of your AppleID and credit card used with the AppleID.
