IPhoto Library showing limited Albums on Apple TV

Have been happy user of Apple TV for 3 years now, but latest Firmware update seems to have created an issue with iPhoto Libraries.
When I set up my screensaver and want to use my iPhoto Library which is connected to my Apple TV on Home Share I am only able to see the Album "Last 12 Months".
Prior to Firmware update I had full access to all my Albums and Photos.
Anyone have a fix for this?

I was having issues like you. I too am running  iPhoto 9.4.2  iTunes 11.0.2   and was trying to update my screen saver photos on my
Going to: File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV
Helped my issue. Thank you!
I can see all my albums and photos now.

    Albums are not places to store photos, they're more like "labels" you can apply to photos to better organize them. A single image file can be in multiple albums... they are not copies, it's simply been labelled as being in all those albums. So what you're trying to do doesn't make sense, because it's based on incorrect assumptions.
    The iPhoto library will always show all photos that you have added to iPhoto.

  • Help! iPhoto library not available to other Apple applications

    My iPhoto library is not available for browsing in other Apple applications like iMovie, Mail or even Desktop and Screen Saver. I've rebuilt the iPhoto database, fixed permissions, tried to do over starting with a clean plate and importing the database and nothing seems to work. The iPhoto library is unavailable to other Apple applications that can make use of it.
    Any ideas as to how I can fix this problem? FWIW, iTunes is available in other Apple applications and iPhoto seems to work just fine as a stand alone application it just doesn't want to play with the other children anymore.
    Thanks.

    Eric
    Sharing between applicationns is enabled by a file in the iPhoto Library Folder called the Albumdata.xml file.
    First step: Remove this file and restart iPhoto. This will force iPhoto to rebuild the files. Then relaunch the other apps, see if they see can see iPhoto.
    If not, do you have any non-ascii characters in your titles or keywords - bascaly anything that's not 0-9 or a - z.
    If that's not the issue, have a look at this thread

    especially Dave E's discovery about malformed strings in the albumData file.

  • Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

    The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
    Many thanks!

    You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

  • How to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?

    What is the best way to move my entire iphoto library and all albums and mobileme galleries to my new tower?
    I want to move it smoothly without hours of reconfiguring albums and Mobileme galleries.  Already have a timemachine backup of the older iMac with the iphoto library.

    Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • My library shows up on my apple tv but does not load

    My library shows up on my Apple tv2 but does not load.  Everything else works I can watch trailers, rented movies and things like that.  I could watch movies from my library through home sharing but it stopped working in the middle of a movie and hasn't worked since. Home sharing seems to work on my ipad and my other MBP but just not on the ATV2.  Did the reset and reinstall of software on it.....any one got any other ideas?

    I'm a bit unsure from your post which playlist is missing from where. If you deleted the "Purchased" playlist in iTunes it will be recreated next time you make a purchase. You can add your previous purchases into this list, and select it to be synced to your device. The "Purchased on <Device>" playlists are locked down and cannot be edited.

  • Restore time machine backups folder or iPhoto library to get album data?

    Simply said, can I use Data Rescue or Disk Drill to restore old Time Machine backups instead of just the entire glob of files? I'm specifically looking for an iPhoto backup with albums and metadata, instead of just restoring the photos themselves. See below for more details.
    I am an amateur or hobbyist photographer. Recently I noted that I have over 70,000 photos in iPhoto and it was really dragging. Kept telling myself to clean it up but never found the time. The other day, it said this version needs to be upgraded. Clicked ok, and when done, all my photos were gone. I have the iPhoto Library on an external and I could see that "it" was still there (almost 700gb) so I went to work trying to find a solution. Went through all of the rebuilding options with no luck and then got my stupid, "I got this" hat on. I said, no problem, I have Time Machine and I'll just restore the iPhoto Library from a few days ago when I know it was working fine. Deleted that "corrupted" library first, went to Time Machine and didn't realize that TM, at the VERY same time, must've run out of room and reset itself - it only had a brand new backup with the now-empty iPhoto Library in it. Luckily, I found all of my photos and have them safe on an external. I've also decided to backup to a cloud site (should've done a long time ago!!) and I'm researching which photo-management software will be best to catalog my pix going forward (likely Lightroom) as the Apple peeps said iPhoto isn't really built to handle that type of load.
    I know I can just re-import my found photos but have I lost all of my album and event data forever? When I go to the iPhoto Library and Show Package Contents, it looks like all that data is still there. Will that just "reset" once I bring back my photos? Otherwise, I have run both Data Rescue and Disk Drill and can see all of the files - either those deleted from the external, or the deleted files that were being backed up by TM on my other external TM disk. However, the reconstructed files don't seem to include an "iPhoto Library" or a backups.backupdb by name and I'm afraid if I do all the work to restore either of those, I'm stuck in the same situation I have now - all of the photos but no album data. Went through these posts extensively and tried all of Pondini's recommendations too.
    In the end, do I chalk this up as a learning experience and spend 2-3 days recreating albums and organizing my photos? Or, is there a way that I can get all that organizational data back - from the iPhoto package contents, restoring from the external, or restoring an old TM backup?

    What I would do is restore the older version to a different location.  Then first try the following on it:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window. Be sure to follow the circled recommendation in the screenshot.
    2 - run Option #4, Rebuild Database.
    If that doesn't do the trick continue with
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: 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.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • IPhoto has no photo in iPhoto library nor another album....empty folders...

    I don't know why what used to be working fine and now iPhoto library contains folder with no photo?!
    Would it be because I move the iPhoto library to my user/home folder?
    I have been shooting Raw and load into Bridge and save to album folder in iPhoto library in my home folder. I am also seeing Abobe Bridge cache bc. and bct. files populated every where. It just so confusing.
    Now, just want to set iPhoto right first. How can I get photo back in iPhoto library?
    I have used Diskwarrior and apple disk utility to try to fox it but no help.
    Help!

    vchen:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. In moving that original iPhoto Library folder iPhoto could not find it the next time it was launched and created a new one. So launch iPhoto with the Option key depressed and, when asked, choose the Find option. Then navigate to the location of your original iPhoto folder and select it. Once you're back up and running with it you can delete the library folder that is in your Pictures folder. It will be the empty one.

  • IPhoto library shows up, but auto ejects when I click on it

    My main iPhoto library is on my iMac, but I use my macbook air more, so I would love to beable to access my iPhoto library from my macbook air. I have all the sharing preferences turned on, and the iMac library shows up in the iPhoto on my macbook air, but when I click on it, it auto ejects. Has anyone had this problem? Anyone have any solutions?
    Thanks so much

    Try Image Capture (in your applications folder)

  • IPhoto Library showing old (previously deleted) photos?

    I was looking to reset the faces in iPhoto and this required going to the iPhoto Library in the finder, while looking for the file to delete I came across previously deleted photos
    Why is this?
    If i deleted them I would expect them to be deleted and not lying around gathering space on my mac?
    Is there a way to permanently delete photos?

    1 - NEVER use the finder to make any change to the structure or content of the iPhoto library - tere are o user serviceable parts in it
    2 - deleting from iphoto is simple - select a photo in an event and press the delete key then empty the iPhoto trash - do not reorganize events before emptying the iPhoto trash
    3 - try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database
    4 - here is a potential solution if nothing above works - I have not tested it and as always have a good backp prior to doing things, but this sounds safe and effective - http://arstechnica.com/apple/2013/08/deleting-zombie-photos-from-iphoto/

  • IPhoto Library shows as a folder and not a package

    helping a client upgrade to a new intel imac from an iMac G5
    iphoto tells him it can't open his photo library using this version of iphoto, and that iphoto must be reinstalled.
    i found a great fix in these forums that involved going into Show Package Contents
    BUT.....his iPhoto Library is actually a folder It isn't a properly-blessed package. Therefor the new iPhoto '11 won't even open it.
    How can I fix this??

    (that is for some reason no longer a "package")
    What version are you upgrading from? Version 6 and earlier did not use the Package format.
    Did you trash the receipts before re-installing?
    To re-install iPhoto
    1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
    2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
    2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
    /var/db/receipts/
    A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
    3. Re-install.
    If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
    If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.

  • Iphoto library not active in my Apple screensaver

    With Apple system preferences I am not able to choose my Iphoto library as a screensaver.
    I think this happened after I updated to Iphoto 11 or after I start using MobileMe?
    It only happens on our Imac. On the laptops in our house it is no problem.
    My library contains appr 27.000 pictures/video's and the size is 220 gb
    Any suggestions?

    You misunderstood - I can launch iPhoto just fine - it's HELP which doesn't launch/load/download. I get the Help window and the spinning disk and Help never downloads.
    I'll search for help on Help (iPhoto 11 Help) elsewhere - this isn't the right place.
    I solved the screensaver issue, by the way.
    No need to get testy with me about my rhetorical plea to Apple. I understand that Apple "ain't here."

  • IPhoto library shows 500mb of data, but finder shows 2.2G of data

    Hi all,
    I'm not a newbie and I read a lot of threads already, this is something really new.
    iPhoto says that my library has xxx number of files totalling up to 500mb of photo's. But if I use finder and look at the properties of the iPhoto library folder, it shows that the folder is 2,2Gig large. Upon inspection, I found photo's that should've been deleted a long time ago and worse is, they don't show up on iPhoto!!! So now I can't remove these photo's and I dunno what to do.
    I can't burn a back up and start from scratch, because when I want to burn with iPhoto, it also burns these images on the DVD.

    Tensai,
    the fastest way would be to highlight library in the source column
    share> export. They are exported in one lump sum. Kind of messy if you ask me. I tried it once and was shocked...ha
    I also have no idea how that lump sum of images will import back into iPhoto either. They will probably be imported as one large roll....messy messy!
    Let me tell you what i do in case you want to do this in the future.
    When iPhoto 5 first came out I really think it was programmed to import the smaller 30 sec video clips that cameras were taking at the time. Since then, digital cameras, at least my Canon S2 can take clips as large as your memory card can hold. The first time I tried to download my images and movie clips with my new camera, iPhoto stalled at the movie clips. I wasn't going to take any chances messing up my iPhoto Library so I started using Image Capture to download all my images and Movie clips. I actually like doing it this way a lot better. My movie clips are downloaded into my Movies folder where I then put them in a dated folder.
    My photos are downloaded into my Pictures folder, where I then put them in a dated folder. I import the dated folder into iPhoto. I also keep all dated folders from photo downloads in the Pictures folder till I get enough Movie folders and Photo folders to fill a DVD. I burn them and then delete them from the hard drive.
    This way I have the photos in iPhoto and I also have just the photos backed up to DVD in nice dated folders.
    The Movies I keep on the hard drive in their dated folders until I use all the clips for my iMovie projects for the Year. I then make sure they are all burned to DVD, then I delete those from my hard drive.
    Using Image Capture to download images and video clips:
    Open up Image Capture which is found in the Applications folder.
    When it is opened, go to Image Capture/Preferences
    Under the General button choose
    Camera: When a camera is connected, open Image Capture.
    The next time you connect your camera Image Capture will open.
    In the window that opens you will see an Options button. Click on that button to set your options.
    To find out more about Image Capture (it can do a lot more) Click on Help in the menu bar when Image Capture is open.
    iPhoto: How to Change the "Open Automatically" Preference
    If you find you can't change any of Image Captures preferences or can't access any drop down menus or they are greyed out, check to make sure Image Capture is loose in the Applications folder and not within a sub folder.
