Iphoto folders on AppleTV?

Why does not my Iphoto folders show up on AppleTV? In iPhoto on the mac I have organised albums into each year, but on iTV (1st gen) only the albums appear, And sice I have 50.000 pictures in iPhoto, the list on iTV is wery looong.

No.
You can re-order the photos in iphoto and batch rename them, but the changes will need resyncing to the tv.

  • IPhoto synching to AppleTV - no folders shown.

    Hi,
    I have a problem when synching iphoto with AppleTV (via iTunes). All photos sync fine but the only albums that are visible are Last 12 Months, Last Import, Recovered Photos i.e those auto created by iphoto. I cannot get any of my user created folders to appear in iTunes as an option to sync.
    I've tried a number of things based on other posts in these forums e.g have checked the folder naming to ensure no odd characters (but all iPhoto folders appear fine in iMovie), have recreated the albumdata.xml file, and have checked the location of the iphoto album (have confirmed that new photos added to iPhoto get picked up by Itunes/appletv just no albums!).
    Any more ideas I can try?
    Cheers.

    You need to use albums not events to organise photos in iphoto for your tv.

  • IPhoto folders vs albums

    Some iPhoto tutorials show how to first create a folders, and then create albums in these folders. 
    Why do you need folders. Can you simply create albums of photos??

    Actually the question is totally in the context of using iPhoto
    iPhoto folders vs albums
    His later comment is trying to understand how iPhoeo works - and yoru suggestion is not at all helpful and as I pointed out may lead to an inexperianced user destroying their iPhoto library
    Your answer is confusing and dangerous
    the answer for using iPhoto as the OP requested is
    That is NOT using iPhoto and at best has no effect on iPhoto and at worst would lead one to move photos around within the iPhoto library thereby destroying their library
    The correct answer is that in iPhtoo (the context of the question) folders simply can not hold photos - you make albums of photos and then make folder to hold albums for organization
    Arguing and posting poor, misleading or incorrect suggestions is really not a good idea and helps no one

  • IPhoto folders are all messed up and my pics arent showing up correctly..

    I tampered with the iPhoto folders...I renamed files and moved things around thinking I was organizing things.. but now my photos in iPhoto arent working correctly. Some photos show a thumbnail but dont open.. and all I get is a gray screen with an exclamation mark. Other photos open but at very poor quality.. around 32KB instead of the 1.6 MB that they should be!
    What can I do to fix this problem?
    Also, my computer seems to have 5 copies of all my photos. One copy that is the original... another that is smaller and then more random copies. How can I get rid of those copies.. I've got like 2,000 of them! Ahhh..
    Somebody please help! Any suggestions??

    Hi Diana,
    #1 Two Apple kbs for you to read
    Don't tamper with files in the iPhoto library folder
    About the iPhoto Library folder
    #2 It seems you moved photos around and some thumbnail photos from the Data folder were put in the originals folder (photos open at 32k) and the ones missing (renamed by you). This is how it is supposed to be 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.
    There is no way to recover from this except to start over with just the original files. This would entail creating a new library, going through the old library and finding all the full sized images and deleting the thumbnail images
    #3 Here are the instructions for creating a new library. BUT remember that in your case it is not as simple as importing the Originals folder again as you moved photos around and in and out of the wrong folders. You are going to have to find all the originals and delete the smaller thumbnails of the same name (unless the originals were overwritten by the thumbnails when you moved photos around because an image has the same name in all the folders (Data, Original and Modified).
    close iPhoto
    -drag the iPhoto Library folder to the desktop
    -launch iPhoto and create a new library
    -double click the iPhoto Library folder on the desktop to open it
    -the two main folders you will need to import are the Original folder and the Modified folder (only if you want to import the edited images).
    -the Originals folder has all your originals photos unedited. the Modified folder has all images that you have edited, rotated, cropped, etc.
    -Drag these two folders to the desktop
    -If you want to save the edited image, find it in the roll in the Modified folder and drag it into the roll of the same name in the Originals folder. It will replace the originals and now will be the original.
    -If you don't care to save any edited images, then don't import the Modified folder into iPhoto or don't bother replacing the edited image with the original image like I just described.
    -If you import the Originals folder into iPhoto you will have all your originals in their named rolls.
    -If you import the Originals and Modified folders into iPhoto, you will have all of the being in the originals folder in the finder. The roll with the same name as the other will have a _1 appended to it's name (in the finder)
    -the roll from the originals will be next to the same roll from the Modified folder within iPhoto. You can then delete any of the images from there if you want.
    I know this might sound confusing but it really isn't.
    Get back if any of this sounds like something you might want to do.

  • Copying iPhoto folders to CD for TV viewing

    I'm looking for a way to copy 6 mos. worth of iPhoto folders with jpegs and TITLES to a CD that I can play for TV viewing. The real problem is getting the folders with titles out of iPhoto in jpeg form so they are catalogued. Any suggestions?

    The tip refers to the file "Library6.iPhoto" that is in the iPhoto Library folder. That's the file that often gets damaged or corrupted and makes iPhoto think there are no photos in the library or that the files are missing but the thumbnails are there. I just select it and type Command-D to make a copy of it which ends up as "Library6 copy 1.iPhoto". When I need to backup again I delete that file and make another copy of it.
    For protection of HD problems and really losing your files I suggest an external Firewire HD. An 80G drive is not that expensive and can hold your iPhoto Library folder and, in general, your entire User folder. That folder contains all of your important, non-replaceable files. The system and applications can be replace
    That being said DVDs can be used with iPhoto's Share->Burn Disk menu option to burn multiple rolls to disk in the iPhoto format. This will allow you to mount that disk in iPhoto like this to copy back those rolls into a new library is that were necessary. As you get a number of new rolls you can burn another disk. Or use a CD and burn fewer rolls as they are added. That preserves the keywords, albums they were in, comments, etc. You can also burn slideshows.
    The external HD is the easiest and quickest way. By backing up the entire iPhoto Library folder (i.e. copying it to the external HD and then keeping it current with a backup program like Synk, you can avoid most any catastrophic crash on your HD. I don't have my external drive running all the time. I only turn it on and mount it when I have some backups to perform.

  • Iphoto folders not showing up to sync with ipod

    i jsut got a new ipod photo and i can't get iphoto to sync with it. I am using an external hard drive, but that doesnt' seem to be the issue. If i just use the pictures folder to sync it works but i want to be able to access my iphoto folders. i created a new iphoto folder and started copying my photos in a few at a time. When i did this it would work for the first couple then it wouldjust stop showing up. anyone hve any ideas? i have an inkling that it might do with a corrupt file name or somethinglike that but i'm not sure. oh yeah the error message i get from itunes is error -50
    so yeah please help
    PS. I'M USING A MAC, i looked through so many forums and most of the answers were from people who didn't seem to realize iphoto is a MAC program so if you don't know what it is or how it works please don't answer

    Having same problem. iPhoto albums created in previous version of iPhoto will synch with video iPod, but iPhoto 6.02 albums will not.

  • Iphoto folders in finder, can i make them appear?

    I use iphoto and have created many folders within the application to organize my photos. My problem here is, for example when I want to send a file from Skype, I cant drag a photo from iphoto and drop into the skype (send to) function. I have to select the photo through finder when I press the (send file) icon in skype. Of course, the photos are organized by dates, and I was wondering if there is a way of making the iphoto folders i personally created and named appear in the finder, so i can find my photos much faster? Right now i go to iphoto, find the name of the file and then when sending a file from skype search for that file and then send it. Quite a lenghly process.
    (by the way. when you want to change the background image, in system preferences, it shows your iphoto folders.)

    Hi Daniel,
    Unfortunately, no. We used to have that feature, but no more.
    You can share/export the photo to the desktop and then choose it from there. (then delete it from the desktop) when you are done using it. You can also drag it right from the iPhoto Library window to the desktop (this copies the image to the desktop)
    Yes the albums do show up in system Preferences. To be able to have the desktop image rotate at intervals you need to choose the album within iPhoto and then hit the desktop icon. Only this album of images will have the function of rotating at times intervals. None of the other Albums listed will have this Option. Another feature that was taken away.

  • Random photos in my iphoto folders aren't synching to my iphone. Any idea why?

    For the last two weeks or so, random photos that I put in my iPhoto folders to be synched to my phone aren't transferring over.
    There seems to be no criteria for the ones that don't transfer, and the image counts in iTunes confirm the correct number of pics in the folder, they just never make them to the phone. Any ideas?

  • Replacing hard drive ... can I save my iWeb and iPhoto folders?

    Hi, I'm giving in my MacBook Pro for repair tomorrow. Is it possible to save what I have in my iWeb to transfer over to a new hard drive as well as my iPhoto folders?

    Is your Macbook going in for repair because the HD is broken?
    Then it is not possible to get back your file's If the HD is damaged and doesn't work, then you can't get your file's back easy. There are some company's who can do this, but those costs a enormous lot off money!
    Is the HD is going to be replace for a bigger or faster drive?
    Yes, then you can put the HD in a external encosure. This will make it possible to acces the disk with the USB or FireWire port on your Mac.
    This is a nice and cheap enclosure:
    http://www.cooldrives.com/usbesal2hadr1.html
    You can always try to put a broken HD in such a enclosure. Sometime's you are really lucky and can still get back the file's.
    Always have a back-up off your important Data!

  • IPhoto folders locked after moved to external hd

    Hi
    I am trying to free some space up on my 160GB iMac 17" Snow Leopard.
    So I thought I would move my iPhoto Library to my external hard drive. I do it.
    I open iPhoto via the new location. But the images are not there.
    I look at the iPhoto folders and they are ALL locked (Permissions).
    I have to go through all the years and Rolls and let my user access them. Which will let iPhoto app get the photos.
    WHY IS THIS?

    Try the following:
    1 - download and launch  BatChmod.
    2 - apply the following settings (except for the toad user )
    3 - Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and select the library again to open.

  • How to save iPhoto folders to external disk?

    How to save iPhoto folders to external disk?

    You are not clear
    In iPhoto folders go not hold photos - they are organizanially ielements and hold other folder or albums
    are you talking aobt events by any chance? What do you want to do?
    To move the photos form events to an external drive select them and export - see the user tip on exporting for details on the options available
    to run iPhoto with your library on an EHD
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Iphoto folders(organized) transferred to photoshop?

    Due to my occupation I have to use a PC. I have photoshop on both Mac and PC.
    1. Is there any way to transfer my iphoto folders and pics to windows and keep the organization I have?
    2. Is there anyway to keep organization of iphoto folders and pics and transfer to photoshop on my existing mac? I was thinking maybe the transfer to windows would be easier if I could transfer my folders and pics to photoshop mac. Then transfer photoshop folders and pics to windows.
    Basically I would like to keep my organization of pics in iphoto, photoshop mac, and windows. Is there an easy way to do this.
    Or once you go iphoto you never go back.........?

    Articaine:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. If you copy only the Originals folder and its contents from your iPhoto Library folder to your PC you'll have all your original image files in folders that represent the rolls in iPhoto. So if you want to do some additional organization before copying to the PC select files your want to group together in the main library and the create a new roll with them.
    You can rename the rolls from within iPhoto so that the subfolders in the Originals folder have more meaningful titles.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application, iPhoto dB file backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Why do iPhoto folders look different on iPad?

    Why do iPhoto folders look different on the iPad?  When I launch the Photos app on the iPad you get a list of photos and photo albums that I have synced from my laptop.  All is fine.  However...
    The photo albums are in a different order.....I can't see name or tag data with the folders .... impossible to search for specific pictures by name......Mainly, the entire interface is so different.  Instead of simple vertical list of photo albums (as on the Mac or the iPhone, iPod,  the iPad presents you with an array of those graphic-image photo piles -- the ones where the first picture in the album is shown on top, etc.
    Does this bother anyone else? Anyway to make photos and photo albums on the iPad more closely resemble the photo/album list you see on the Mac?
    David in KC

    The Photos app on the iPad is just a basic photo viewer and isn't as sophisticated as iPhotos on the Mac and has limited functionality. Third-party apps will probably give you more of the functionality that you mention, but you can't change the Photos app.

  • Cannot sync iphoto folders after upgrading to mavericks.  syncing caused removal of all photo folders from iPhone

    After upgrading 17" macbook pro/late 2009 to mavericks - runs slow and having syncing issues.  syncs freeze then quit.  folders were removed from devices without my setting that up.  will not add.  all devices are NOT on OS7.  Is this why??

    You and me both! I thought my error (Unknown error (-50) popped up when I thought I'd try out MobileMe, (which, as an aside screwed a LOT of things up). Now I have no idea. I started getting duplicate bookmarks in Safari, and email from all over, and then my photos will no longer sync from iPhoto. I've never had this problem, had my MacBook Pro for three years, my iMac almost a year, iPhone for 2+. APPLE!!! ARE YOU LISTENING??????

  • How can I see my iPhoto folders in apple tv?

    When I use the Apple TV, I cant see the folders I've created on my Iphoto. Instead of that the Apple tv shows my entire (12,500) pics database. Anyone know how to split that data out?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    When you say folders, I assume you are referring to albums or events. Have you checked these albums or events in your homesharing set up in iTunes.
