ITunes photo sharing lets AppleTV show non-shared photos !!

In Itunes, I said "Share Photos From", "Selected Events", and I only selected two events.
On my Apple TV, I said "Computers". [my computer], "Photos", "Slide Show".
Before I click anything else ("Events" is highlighted), photos start scrolling past in the left side of the screen. Some of these photos are NOT in the two events I selected. (And were quite inappropriate for the crowd at my party. Embarrassing! )
The photos that scroll by when you highlight events should honor the iTunes preferences about which photos will be shared. This seems like abug to me. I reported it to Apple - mostly posting here as a warning to other users.
FYI, the other (inappropriate) photos that scrolled by WERE selected to be shared by Itunes a few days before. MAybe they were in some buffer somewhere?
Anybody have ideas about fixing this issue?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
That's never been my experience with photo sharing, perhaps you simply didn't update once you removed the photos a few days earlier.

Photos app doesn't show my shared albums and activity

I've just installed the new Photos App and so far so good, until I try the shared tab.
cleanest place on my Mac.
I can still access it from iPhone but now I'm not sure whats going on.
is my iPhone late in cache?
is my Photos Mac going to overwrite my shared configurations / subscriptions, have it done it already?
is it just a bug ?
anybody else got the same issues?
I just hope not.

What are your Preference Settings in Photos?
Is the Photos Library you are using enabled as System Photos Library in the Photos Preferences > General?
Is iCloud enabled in the Photos Preferences > iCloud? And also My Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing?
And is the Shared Section of the Sidebar visible? It may be hidden using the invisible Show/Hide control to the right of the title "Shared"
If all settings are right, but still no Shared albums visible, disable the shared streams in the System Preferences > iCloud > Photos > Options, then restart the Mac, and enable them again in the System Preferences and in Photos Preferences iCloud.
It may take a few hours for the streams to populate again after resetting them this way.

Deleted Photos from iPhone still show up in Photo Stream on iPad: iOS 6

Okay, I've done a lot of searching and can't find any solution for this. I'm on iOS 6 on all devices, so none of the iOS 5.x article / discussions apply.
I have my iPhone 5, my wife has an iPhone 4, we have an iMac, and an iPad 2. Here's the situation. We use iCloud and Photo Stream is enabled on all four devices, and all share a single Apple ID.
I have many photos (let's say 100) I've taken on my iPhone 5 over the last several months, and with Photo Stream enabled, they were automatically copied to all of my other devices. Great. Now, I'd like to delete let's say 20 of those photos. On my iPhone 5, I go to "My Photo Stream" and mark all 20 of them and delete them. I get the pop-up confirmation that they will be deleted from the Photo Stream on all my devices. Great, exactly what I want.
The photos delete from my iPhone 5, my wife's iPhone 4, and my iMac. However, they still appear on my iPad under Photos, Photo Stream, and under Events (September 2012 Photo Stream, October 2012 Photo Stream, November 2012 Photo Stream events). I can not delete them from my iPad.
I have tried:
1. Selecting each photo, there is no option to delete
2. Selecting edit, and then selecting a photo, the delete button is disabled
3. Disabling Photo Stream on my iPad, and rebooting. All photos in "My Photo Stream" on iPad are deleted, but not the photos that were sourced by other devices, they still appear under Photos, Photo Stream, and the monthly Photo Stream events
So... How do I delete these photos from my iPad?
Cheers,
Gouda

Okay, finally figured out what was going on. Positng the solution here in case it might help someone else with a similar problem.
Here's what was happening:
1. iPhone5/iPhone4/iPad/iMac all had iCloud + Photo Stream so Photos were shared
2. iMac was setup with iPhoto to automatically import and save Photo Stream photos
3. iPad was setup to wirelessly sync all albums from iPhoto
So, when photos were shared using Photo Stream to iMac, it would backup to an album in iPhoto, and sync to the iPad. Deleting the original photo on the iPhone would delete the photo from the Photo Stream on all devices, but it had already been added to a permanent album in iPhoto (e.g., "September 2012 Photo Stream"). This album was then automatically synced to the iPad. So, deleteing the photo from Photo Stream would clear it from the iPhones, but not the iPad.
To delete the photos:
1. Delete the photo from "My Photo Stream" in the source device (the device used to take the picture), this will delete it from the active Photo Stream on all devices
2. On the iMac, go into the automatically created monthly Photo Stream events, and delete the photos from there
3. In iTunes, initiate a Sync with the iPad, which will update the syncronized albums/events there, removing the photos on the iPad as well
Hope that's able to help someone in the future...
Cheers,
Gouda

ICloud and Photos app are not showing full resolution photos

Since migrating my iPhoto library to Photos, it has had problems showing the full resolution of photos. I initially had "Optimize Mac Storage" selected, but even when I had space available, it would not download the full resolution version of a photo. The loading circle in the bottom right corner would spin until it would be 'fully loaded' but the photo would not become the full resolution photo. I then checked "Download Originals to This Mac", but after it said it had downloaded the full sized versions of everything, the same problem occurred. I then went to iCloud and the iCloud Photos app and saw that some of my photos were displayed at about 1/3 the size on the screen. This wasn't just zoomed out. When I zoomed in closer the image did not resolve any better.
HOWEVER, downloading the photo from iCloud and opening it in preview gave the full resolution photo. I have attached an image showing the different levels of resolution from os x Photos app, iCloud, and the downloaded image (shown in Preview). I used the zoom slider on Photos until it reached 100%, I set the view in Preview to "Actual Size", but in iCloud to get the same dimension image, I had to zoom to 200%+.
Another thing that I noticed was that this doesn't happen to all of my photos:
It definitely happens to all of my photos taken with a Fujifilm X-M1, where I shoot in RAW, adjust and process in Lightroom, then export JPEGs to iPhoto. These tend to be slightly smaller (largest side 2048 pixels).
It doesn't happen to photos taken with 645Pro app (where I still export JPEGs to iPhoto with largest side 2048 pixels).
It happens to some, but not all, photos taken with the iPhone's native camera app
I am very confused. Also, even after having checked "Download Originals to this Mac" and letting it download everything, the Photo Library is only 3.77 GB. In iCloud it is ~10GB and my old iPhoto library was about ~15GB.

I now discovered that I can't edit photos in the Photos app (presumably because Photos is not communicating well with iCloud and can't download the full resolution photo to edit).

HT4910 What do I do if "My Photo Stream" isn't showing all my photos that are showing in my "My Photo Stream" on my Mac? How do I fix this?

What do I do if the 900 something photos that are in My Photo Stream are not showing up on my IPhone in the My Photo Stream. The photo stream option is on as well yet its not transferring all my photos.. as well as I am connected to Wifi

If you just turned photo stream on, it's likely that the missing 649 photos are older than 30 days and thus are no longer in icloud to stream to your device.
Did you turn photo stream off and back on, or sign out of your iCloud account, then sign back in?

Photos downloaded appear only "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

I downloaded 150 photos today but they only appear in "showing: added by (photos only)" - do not appear in albums or grid. Why?

Hehe, that is what i experienced using the MobileMe trial.
Ok, I will dig deep into my computer software boxes and look for the discs that came with the computer.
Thank you for all your help, it is much appreciated

Shared Stream not showing all shared photos on all devices

So, we have setup a shared stream in Photos to share family moments. The main issue we are experiencing is that on my iPhone I am not able to see contributions from one family member, but on my iPad they show up. Both are iOS 7, and have been through all the troubleshooting steps though have not done the "turn off sharing, and delte all photos" step. Any ideas on why or how that would be happeing? Thanks!

You can apparently force ios6 devices to receive the subscriber contributed photos by turning off shared photo streaming and turning it back on again. It is under General Troubleshooting in the following link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4379
A similar workaround did not work with iPhoto 11.
To get around this, I've been re-sharing the subscriber contributed content and deleting the original from the stream. They show up, but not a very elegant solution.

HT1918 I need to take an expired CC off my account. I click NONE and entered a gift card. I have a $14 balance but under EDIT PAYMENT iTunes will NOT let me choose NONE for method of payment. All I get is "try again later" for 3 days!!

My laptop is up and the Internet is fine. I can search in the iTunes store all I want. I cannot update any purchase nor make new ones because the CC on my account is not good. I bought an I tunes gift card so I had a balance available. But everytime I try to take off that bad CC it says "Try again later." It's been 3 days! I need to update my apps. I'd make a new apple ID but I don't want to lose my gc $$ nor all my purchases. When will the store "be ready??"

The iTunes Store has no phone support and never has. Contacting them has always been via web form. Go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
Regards.

HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share? I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all. Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
I have already tried the following without success:
1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other: "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

HT3819 Bought new iMac & moved (or thought so) music from old PC to new Mac. Now several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; , I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac Shared folder. How do I move & retir

Bought new iMac & moved (or thought I had) all of my music from the old PC to the new iMac. Have discovered several hundred songs are orphaned on old PC; I can "see" them with both machines turned on & iTunes open. "Missing" songs show in iMac itunes Shared folder. How do I move them all so I can then & retire the old PC?

From things you are saying, such as "shared folder" and having both machines on, it doesn't sound to me like you truly moved the whole iTunes collection.
iTunes: How to move [or copy] your music to a new computer [or another drive] - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4527
do not confuse moving your whole folder and library with moving just media files as in
iTunes for Mac: Moving your iTunes Media folder - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1449
Quick answer if you let iTunes manage your music: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Start iTunes with the option key held down and guide it to the new location of the library.

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name??

We have multiple devices in our family. On each iPad/iPhone each user has their own apple id for iMessage, Facetime and icloud, but we all sign in to the same apple id for itunes. When one of my kids comments on my shared photostream, it shows my name and not theirs as the commenter. How do I fix that?

CREATE A NEW USER
Go to System Preferences --> Create a New User in Users & Groups
Decide on whether to setup as Admin or Standard User.
Switch to the New User by logging out under the Apple in the Menu Bar or use Fast User Switching
Fast User Switching allows other users to leave current applications and windows open. Depending on RAM, you might need to log out rather than use FUS.

IPhoto won't show my shared photo stream as an option when sharing a photo

Hello all,
I am running Mavericks 10.9 and iPhoto 9.5.
I am trying to share some photos and videos from iPhoto on my iMac. I am the owner of a shared photostream, and when I select a photo or video, and select "Share," the shared photostream does not appear as an option.
On my iPhone, there are no problems sharing to this photostream. As far as I can tell, there have been no problems syncing with iCloud in general between my devices.
I have tried disabling and re-enabling my main Photostream, but it doesn't seem to make a difference. I have tried selecting this option via System Prefs, and it too doesn't seem to change anything. The main photostream will show as an option for sharing when enabled, but the shared photostream will not appear whether it is enabled or not.
Again, I can access the shared stream via my iPhone, but I'd like to be able to do it as well from my iMac. Any suggestions? I have a feeling it's supposed to work a bit smoother than this...:)
Thank you!

I had this problem too and people suggested switching off all the photosharing stuff, shutting down iphoto and then opening it back up and switching it all back on again.
This seemed to do the trick for me, but it's just taking a while for all the photos to download from the cloud again!

AppleTV not showing non-synced content since upgrade to iTunes 8.1.0.52

Prior to upgrading to 8.1, my non-synced content showed on my AppleTV (when iTunes was open on my computer). Following the upgrade, the only content showing on the AppleTV is content that is synced to it.
iTunes can see the AppleTV and I can sync content to it. Under "Settings" for the AppleTV I have "Custom Sync" selected and the "Show only synced content on my AppleTV" box is not checked.
Any ideas how I can get non-synced content to show again in the AppleTV?

That's exactly what I did, it took ~20sec to complete the "apply to enclosed items" command (there was heavy disk access), but it does not improve. The permissions stay the same for the files/folders in question. It's very odd, have a look at the screenshot:
Some folders have correct permissions, others (to which I have no access through iTunes) show "admin" twice as the only user who is allowed to write. Repair permission does not help. I have hundreds of files/folders where permissions are wrong, only since the upgrade recently.

Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes.

Home sharing no longer shows up on my macbook pro iTunes. Our main computer is a Dell desktop that is authorized for home sharing. My macbook has also turned on home sharing, but the home computer does not show up. How exactly does home sharing work? Must you be in the same area to be able to use this feature or connected to the same network?

you will need both computer have itunes turned on and you will need a wifi for them to work.

Home sharing enabled, not showing up in itunes menu

I have two pcs and I have enabled home sharing for both and made sure I am signed in under the same apple id for both, but "Sharing
" does not show up in the menu on the left side of my itunes. What am I doing wrong?

I found that switching homesharing off and then turning it back on for me cleared the issue.
