IPhoto with Apple TV2 on HDTV?

IPHOTO is organized but can it be seen in the same organized way with Apple TV2-HDMI to HDTV?

Just open up iTunes on the mac with the photos you'd like to see on ATV2. Click on the "Advanced" menu, then on "Choose Photos to Share...". From there you will be taken to a menu where you can select which albums you'd like to appear on ATV2.

Lightroom and/or iPhoto with Apple TV (first 1st generation) integration/streaming

As a hobby Photographer I love using lightroom, Many times, I want to use apple tv to show the photos, or even just randomly browse them. Now the problem is, there isnt any (or I dont know about one, thats why im here ) easier or more automatic or integrated way to stream the library into the apple tv i have (first generation apple tv) than through iPhoto.
Now, I WANT to use lightroom for handling and editing photos (the editting options and organization/sorting of photos is just somewhere in different dimensions to iphoto)
But, I HAVE to use iPhoto for streaming to Apple TV.
Any Idea how I could do all this without manual import export between the LR and iPhoto?
I know lightroom can watch a folder and use automatic import but is that really the best way?
Thank you so much! Please let me know of any idea that pops into your head!
Thanks!
Ondrej

Sorry but you'll need to go back and forth: out of Lightroom and into iPhoto. Setting up a workflow of flagging and using Smart albums can make this easier. But basically, those images need to get into iPhoto to work with Apple TV. Have you considered using Apple's Aperture? Aperture integrates nicely with Apple TV. That's what I use. However, be warned that Aperture is a resource hog and requires more of the higher end processes to work really well, especially if you have large photo libraries. You'll want 8GB of RAM and a newer graphics card (basically a newer Mac) and higher end CPU. The minimum requirements that Apple says Aperture needs are minimal at best.

Airplay on iPad has just stopped working with Apple TV2

As of today, Airplay on my iPad with Apps that were working (eg TED, ABC iView) transmitting video and sound to Apple TV2 has ceased working. When the Airplay logo on the iPad app is pressed it remains white, not changing to blue as it normally does.

Thanks for tip. Rebooting iPad fixed it. Apple TV seems very sensitive to connection issues. I have normally have no issues with my iMac, iPod, iPad, and Airport Express connections

Are all tv's with hdmi inputs compatible with Apple TV2?

I am considering purchasing a new TV. My older model Sony TV, even though it has an HDMI input, is not compatible with Apple TV. Do I have to take my Apple TV to Best Buy and plug it into every TV I look at to determine if they are compatible? Does Apple publish a list of compatible TV's?

I receive an errror message telling me that my HDMI connection is not HDCP compatible. I contacted Apple Support, visited my local Apple Store (with my Apple TV2), and bought new cables...nothing works. I cannot watch Netflix or stream movies I have purchased from my iMac onto my TV. Very frustrating.

Home Sharing with Apple TV2 Broken After 4.2 Update

It looks like I have some company with at least similar issues. This is very frustrating and support was no help.
ATV 2 worked just great with Windows 7 64-bit and iTunes library until the 4.2 update was loaded. Now ATV 2 keeps telling me to turn on home sharing on a computer but it's already on and iTunes is running, I'm using iTunes 10.2.1.1 and Apple TV2 with latest update 4.2 (2060) and connection over WIFI. Home Sharing is enabled on my computer and ATV2 using the same Apple ID and password. I can get to YouTube and the iTunes store from my ATV 2 without issue.
I've attempted many solutions from what I could find online but no luck:
1. Turned off/on home sharing on both the Apple TV 2 and in iTunes (multiple times)
2. Re-entered my Apple ID and password on both ATV 2 / iTunes
3. Restarted iTunes and ATV 2
4. Restarted the DSL modem/router (ZyXEL PK5000z)
5. Turned the firewall completely off (Norton Internet Security - firewall is off in router)
6. Restored ATV 2 over WIFI
7. Reinstalled iTunes
8. Changed my Apple ID and password then reset in iTunes and ATV 2
9. Renamed my itunes library
10. Disabled QoS upstream/downstream protocol in my DSL modem/router
11. Restored ATV 2 through USB connection in iTunes. This worked for a few minutes but after I turned off ATV 2 and later tried again it was back to it not working...
Any other ideas?

Well, I tried a few other things and one worked but again just the first time I tried connecting to the desktop PC with iTunes. I flashed my router with the latest update and the ATV2 could see the iTunes library and I was able to play media. Later in the day I was going to show off to my daughter that I had fixed it and, to my dismay, no go. I tried opening the suggested ports but no luck.
I then tried loading iTunes on a Win7 laptop and it works perfectly with the ATV2. Both the laptop and the ATV2 are connected to the router wirelessly while the Desktop is connected to the router by Ethernet. Not sure if this is part of the issue as it sounds like this didn't work for others. The only other difference between the laptop and desktop is that the desktop has Win7 SP1 loaded while the laptop does not; now I'm scarred to load it though I don't think that's the issue. All in all, a very vexing situation. Hopefully Apple comes up with a solution soon.

Itunes jams with Apple TV2

Hello, ever since I updated itunes to newest version it keeps jamming.
I would start my apple tv2 and click movie library, music, or whatever to join home sharing and apple tv2 would just sit there loading, I would have to come back to the computer and click on itunes and have to force quit it and restart itunes, this would go on for a few attempts and finally will work, but very frustrating.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Is there a way to fix this?
Or just wait for apple to come out with a fix?
I left windows because of problems like these, things just not working, hope apple isn't going in this direction.
Everything worked fine till I upgrade itunes about a month ago or so.
thanks
I put this in Apple Tv2 forum as well because not sure if it is itunes or Apple Tv2

It should remember the credentials.
Have you unpowered and restarted the device?
May also be worth resetting the AppleTV settings and configuring from scratch.

Performance issues home sharing with Apple TV2 from Mountain Lion Server

I have a Mac Mini which I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion Server from Snow Leopard Server.
I have noticed that the performance of Streaming a film using Home Sharing to an Apple TV2 has degraded compared to the Snow Leopard setup. In fact the film halts a number of times during play back which is not ideal.
I have tested the network between the 2 devices and cannot find a fault.
Has anyone come across this problem before.
Are there any diagnostic tools I can use to measure the home sharing streaming service to the AppleTV2 device.
Any help much appreciated

Home share 2 different mac ids with apple tv2

looking to be able 2 show 2 different computers on Apple TV2.

Generally, families or single households share one Apple ID for purchases and use individual unique Apple IDs for services that require individual identities like iCloud services.

HT4906 Photo stream with Apple TV2

Why can't I sign in on ATV2 photo stream set-up. After entering apple ID password I get a message aging unable to sign in and that iCloud terms and conditions have changed?.

As I read this it should work. http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
However it has nothing to do with iPhoto for Mac. Try the Apple TV forum fir ATV questions. https://discussions.apple.com/community/appletv/appletv

Syncing Videos in iPhoto with Apple TV

In syncing iPhoto to iTunes both pix and videos taken on my iPhone sync up and I have checked the box, 'sync videos', in iTunes/Devices/iPhone/Photos tab. The pics come over to Apple TV without problem and I can view them thereon via My Photos. However, the video doesn't come across. Am I missing something or this not currently possible?

Hello, I have this problem. My Itunes Library is located on external drive. Where exactly should I place the file. Once in place what should be done next so the file can be accessed by ATV?
the location of the library is irrelevant really.
just import the file(s) into itunes using File > Add To Library.
if itunes is configured correctly then it will import to wherever your itunes library is hosted.
if the file(s) isn't already appletv compatible, then right click on the file and choose "create appletv version"

ITunes Home Sharing with Apple TV2, works with one Win 7 PC but not with the other

Hopefully someone out there can help with this, I have gone through all of the troubleshooting procedures that Apple provides, and have spoke to thier 'fast track' technical services department and we cannot resolve this.
My probelm is that Apple TV does not recognize my Win7 PC that has itunes running in Home Sharing mode. In order to test my router, network configurationand the Apple TV, I put iTunes on a laptop on my network running Win7 as well, and the Apple TV had no problems sharing with that computer. I have opened all of the ports in my firewall that Apple recommended, and tried to make it work both with and without my anti-virus software, but still no sharing of iTunes with this computer. We are working with the latest version of iTunes and Apple TV, both updated today.
Has anyone run into this problem?
Thanks

Yep - have had the same problem, especially since IOS5 came about and no solution has worked. I've fought this one for a while, I come back to it every once in a while when I see something that might be a new tack but no joy. I've also tried all that stuff, but none of them fix it.
I can tell you a couple of things I have found out along the way:
First off, there is some kind of issue with the Apple Mobile Service that causes it to not stay working. If you stop the service and start it you may be able to make the sharing show up for a bit, but it will eventually disappear.
Secondly, there may be a network routing factor to this too. Apple doesn't like to use the same kind of protocols as many sharing schemes do, instead preferring something known as "Bonjour". Bonjour uses multicast routing, and appears to either be programmed badly or in a non-standard way - or maybe there just is no standard. In any case what you find is that it just doesn't work, and there is no current fix.
Keep trying though, maybe you can figure it out. If you do, please come back and post what you did, I'd be very interested. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful, but I can at least tell you that you're not crazy, there are others out there having the same problem with the same bleak outlook. By the way, mine used to work until iOS5.

Network drop out with Apple TV2

OK, so let me describe the situation and symptoms that I am currently experiencing....
Recently I just purchased a MacBook PRO and so with that wanted all the accessories etc. etc. Just a couple of days ago purchased an ATV2. It sets up on the network fine, can see my computer and library all fine. I can stream from YouTube on the ATV2 and also watch trailers etc. However, when I goto my library and select something like a song or a movie, it loads... brings up the next screen, which is like the now playing screen, then goes back to the main menu page detailing that the ATV2 is not connected to any network... happens every time, I have not been able to listen to or watch one single thing. Really got me stumped.... would love some suggestions....
MacBook PRO - 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5 - 4GB RAM, 1333 MHz DDR3 (MAC OS X - 10.6.7)
Apple TV V.2 - OS 4.0
Router is a D-Link - DI-524 - Air Plus G - 802.11G - 2.4GHz Wireless Router

I'm going to update the ATV 2's OS from 4.0 and go from there..... after reading a few different threads in the support forum, it seems not to be a router or network issue.... would still love to know and here any insight from people that have experienced this problem and what they did to get through... thanks

Strange Youtube HD Performance Issue with Apple TV2

Playing Youtube HD clips of around 3 minute duration, takes about 5 minutes to buffer on my new ATV2! Yet my fathers ATV2 buffers the same clips almost instantly?!!!
Both ATV2s have same OS version (4.2.1)
My TalkTalk Broadband speedtest.net = 91ms ping, 8.9Meg Download speed
Fathers BT broadband speedtest.net = 35ms ping, 6.7Meg Download Speed
I use ISP DNS (have tried Google, OpenDNS even BT DNS with no improvement).
Fathers uses ISP DNS.
I have tried connecting router to ATV2 via ethernet with NO improvement in performance?!!
I have restored ATV2, have changed router to different channel with NO improvement.
Any suggestions as to why my Fathers ATV2 would stream HD content instantly when mine takes 5+ minutes?????!!!

Sorry, forgot to add that if I view a YouTube HD clip on my iPhone, it buffers almost immediately.
If I then hit Airplay on that clip to go to the ATV2, it plays almost instantly on ATV2!
Yet if I browse to the same clip with the the ATV2 and try to play, it takes 5+ minutes to buffer???
Could I have a faulty Apple TV???

How do I use multiple accounts on the same Mac with Apple TV2?

I have home sharing turned on in two separate accounts on a single MacPro. When I am logged into both accounts, I can see both accounts' iTunes Libraries available in the AppleTV2. However, when I try to open each account iTunes Library in the AppleTV2, only one account will open (whichever one I logged into first). (In other words, I log into Account1 then open iTunes with Home Sharing On, then log into Account2 (while Account1 is still logged on), open iTunes with Home Sharing On. AppleTV2 shows Account1 Library and Account2 Library under Computers, but will only load Account1 Library. Account2 Library will just cause AppleTV2 to search for the Library then give an error.) How come AppleTV2 can see both Libraries but will only open one Library? How can I fix this?
Thanks,
zpockets

Thank you for replying. Both of the accounts are Admin accounts. The Libraries are kept in the user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on each account. However, I do use multiple iTunes Libraries on my Account1. One of the Libraries I use in Account1 is on a separate internal HD. However, the other Libraries I use in Account1 are stored in user/music/itunes/itunes media folder on the main HD (which hosts both Account1 and Account2). It doesn't seem to matter whether I am using an iTunes Library on an external drive or the main drive in Account1, I still get the same problem: only account1 library will load. AppleTV sees that the Account2 Library is there, but it won't load it.

Re: Home Sharing drop out with Apple TV2

I, too, am having a similar problem, but it seems to be slightly different from what most people here are experiencing. When I go to watch purchased content, my computer shows up but my it registers nothing in my library. Then, on my mac, I turn +Home Sharing+ off and then on again and everything shows up again for a while. However about five to ten minutes into watching the show, it stops and everything seems to have disappeared from the library again. Stop+start +Home Sharing+ again and it comes back.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.
I'm running iTunes 10.2.1, OS X 10.6.7 and the latest iOS on the ATV. My wireless network (which everything is on) is managed by an Airport Extreme.

Had the same issue this AM trying to stream tunes from iMac to TV2... dropped the connection about 3 songs in and kept skipping to the next song, would play it for about 45 seconds then skip to the next song. Very weird, but in searching the forum, I found a guy that said if you turn off the screen saver (set it to NEVER) and the sleep option (again, set it to NEVER) then all should be fine. So far so good... playing thru and has been for the past hour. Until an update comes out, this is the best fix for me...
