Personal Photos in Screensaver Streaming-Sync How?

I currently have sync disabled on the AppleTV because I have a large library and multiple servers.
I want to sync only photos to the AppleTV so they will show in the screensaver (is there another way?)
How can I enable sync ONLY for photos from one of the servers I am streaming from...Is this possible?
I'm afraid to enable sync because I am worried it will attempt to sync my sources which is too much for the AppleTV..
Any help would be appreciated...
Thank you!!

So it sounds like you are saying I need to:
1. define 1 computer as the sync computer.
2. Only set the photos to sync on this computer
This will allow the photos to sync to the Apple TV...
Yes
Can this same computer stream the rest of the content? Or does that need to be a different computer? In other words, can the same computer be defined as the "sync" AND a stream source?
The same computer will sync and stream (or at least the photos are available from the tv source menu and the my library source list - whether those in the my library source list actually stream or whether they are taken from the tv HD, I'm not sure), however they are essentially the same list. ie you can't see photos in my library source list that you haven't selected to sync to the tv.
**Also..why do the streamed albums' artwork work for the screensaver and not the streamed photos? bug or feature ;-)?
You likely use the tv a couple of hours a day at most, the rest of the time the screensaver is active, whether or not you actually choose to view it. Streaming photos for the screensaver would result in 24/7 streaming, which I don't believe would be what most people would want, it would just hog your network.

If you Restore using last computer you synced to the password will be removed and you can restore the last backup on your computer, which includes your camera roll.
If you enabled Photo Stream in iCloud your photos are in Photo Stream.
If you had installed one of the many apps that can upload photos to a photo sharing site and had used it you will have your photos.
If you have done none of these things you are out of luck. The phone comes with many tools to preserve content, but you have to use them.

Photos for screensaver not syncing

I'm having a rather odd and disturbing problem with ATV2. We use an album of our best photos as the screensaver. We like to add in new shots to the library. The total count now is just over 500. In adding some photos recently I discovered the only to get ATV to display the new photos is after adding them to the iPhoto album, quit iPhoto, quit iTunes on the computer used as the sync source, pont the ATV screensaver at a completely different source like the built in flower photos, then start iTunes on the sync source computer, point the ATV screensaver to the album we use, and wait for ATV to update.
That all usually works. But today after updating we got several photos in the screensaver that aren't in the album, or even in the iPhoto library at all! They exist on a different computer that's not involved at all. This parents a piroblem: there are photos in our various libraries that we definitely don't want on our ATV screensaver. So how did this happen and how do we prevent it from happening again?
BTW, with the screensaver showing those rogue photos, I looked at the album using ATV to display the photos directly (not the screensaver), those rogues were definitely NOT in the album!
Thanks, all.

Today I left the Photos app open for a while and noticed that it was putting significant load on my CPU when left untouched so I assumed that it was doing some sort of cataloguing. I left it for a while then did another iTunes sync and found that most, but not all, of the missing photos are now transferring successfully.
I am going to leave the Photos app open a bit longer tonight to hopefully complete whatever process it is running, and then with any luck iTunes might pick up everything else that is still missing.

Just got new iPad mini and I can only get 140 pictutes in My Photo Stream while in my other devices I have 1000 photos in My Photo Stream. How do I sync to have all photos in My Photo Stream on this new iPad mini?

Hi Jose Sam,
It sounds like some of your photos are over 30 days old.
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3989
I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they are older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so all devices may not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream.
You may want to sync the older photos through iTunes to get them on your new iPad mini.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.

What you've outlined in this part of the post is all that icloud stores for you outside of the backup. If you want to restore from the icloud backup you will then have for all practical purposes a carbon restoration back to your device if you restore from the icloud backup.

Syncing your device with itunes will then enable you to remove whatever photos you wish to remove from your device deleting them with the computer and not the iphone.

HT201302 My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer?

My old computer crashed and I lost all my personal photos. I had previously synced the "My Favorites" folder on the old computer to my iPhone. How do I now download those photos to my new computer. Same thing with my iTunes music library.

Unfortunately, I did not have the photos stored seperately. When I set up iTunes on the new computer, I clicked "sync photos" and it said it would sync to the photos in the my pictures folder on the computer. This is a new computer, so the folder is empty. I am hesitant to allow the sync, because I do not want to wipe those photos from my iPhone, and never see them again. This is a terrible spot to be in.
I have also lost my iTunes music library for the computer. I subscribed to itunes Match, thinking it would upload my music from my phone to iCloud. It only added 57 songs that I had purchased on the store previously. None of the cd's I added where transferred.

How quickly does photo stream sync for you?

how quickly does photo stream sync for you?

I have seen some posts floating about here complaining that photos don't or at least don't immediately sync to all devices. I think a small number of these people may not realise that syncing requires wifi and not 3G, one must also remember this community is like a doctors surgery, it is where people come if they have aches and pains.

HT4906 My computer and iphone have different photos in their photo streams. How can I make them the same?

My photo stream on my iPhone 5 has 721 photos in it. But my photo stream on my macbook air has only 211 photos in it. The accounts do seem to be sync'd, because when I delete a photo from a stream in one device it gets automtaically deleted in the other device in 2 seconds (works both ways when I delete either from my phone or my mac).
Can anyone point me in the right direction on how to completely snc them up?
Thanks!

The Photo Stream does not really sync. The contents of the Photo Stream (My Photo Stream) for each device will depend on the contents of the camra roll and on the current state of what has been uploaded to iCloud when you turn the Photo Stream on the device. Photo Stream is not meant to be a storage for photos in the cloud, just a transient buffer. If you want a stream of photos, that is the same on each device, set up a shared Photo Stream.

How do I delete a photo album that was synced to my iPad?

Hello, normally I have the "Sync Photos from [drop down list]" option UNCHECKED. I checked it and selected a folder of 30 pictures that I wanted to add to my iPad.
Now, I've decided I don't want them. They cannot be simply deleted from the iPad. When I go to iTunes on my Macbook, I unchecked the Sync Photos from option, applied it, then synced my iPad. The option is unchecked but the pictures are still on my iPad and I'm still unable to delete them.

Did you create these notes in the iPad notes App ... I assume?
This support article will explain how you can restore from a backup - which is what you have to do in order to have any chance of recovering your note.
How to backup and restore from a backup
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
But you have to remember, that you will lose any of the notes that you have taken since the date of the last backup. If you synced your iPad last week, then you will lose a whole week of current notes - or whatever notes you have created since your last backup. When you restore from a backup - you restore everything in that backup onto the iPad - that was on the iPad on the time and date of the backup.
If you backup every day, then all of your notes should be recoverable from the backup - except for any notes that you took since you last backed up. There is no foolproof way to recover everything once you start taking more notes or creating new documents or whatever that you do in an app unless you are syncing those notes with iCloud and backing up all of the time or unless the app is set to sync with iCloud as you work on the files - like in Pages, Numbers or Keynote - Apple's iWorks apps.
If you decide to restore from an iTunes backup you should turn off at sync before you try restoring because iTunes will want to backup your iPad right away when you plug it in and you will lose your old or last backup.

IOS 7.1.1 doesn't show a "days to sync" parameter anywhere in SETTINGS/Mail,Contacts,Calendars/ACCOUNTS/GMAIL Account/ GMAIL Acccount Info. There is nothing in iTunes relating to such an option either. So, it seems I'm back to square one.
If you have a decent mail provider like Microsoft Hotmail or Outlook.com mail it does.
If you have Gmail it does not. Quite right. Gmail is rubbish.

HT201302 how to recover importing personal photo on ipad

how to recover importing personal photos on ipad

What do you mean 'recover importing personal photos on iPad' ? The HT4083 page that you posted from tells you how to copy photos/videos in the Photos app that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera kit, and/or saved from email/websites to a computer e.g. you can use the windows camera wizard on a PC, and Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture on a Mac.
If you want to copy back photos that were originally synced from a computer then you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them back via your wifi network (but as photo are 'optimised' when they are synced to an iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer).
If you've deleted photos from your iPad and want to get them back then were they on your iPad when you last backed up ? If they were then you can try restoring your iPad to that backup

Streaming Photos in Screensaver

I am streaming photos now, and have un-synced my main computer. Everything is streaming and the ATV hard drive is empty except for the OS.
It will not use my streamed photos in the screensaver when playing music. It only uses the appe default photos.
So, do photos have to be synced for them to play in the screensaver while listening to music?
If so, why? This would be shortsighted. I want my streamed photos to play in screen saver mode while my music is on.
It seems obvious, but it doesn't happen.

I plan on making my streamed source available all of the time.
Music in a screen saver not a popular request? Well, I have read that many people believe the defining characteristic of ATV to be the screensaver while the music is playing. I feel this way, too. It's like a substitute for the visualizer but with your on content.
Perhaps you misunderstand. I want the screensaver to play my streamed photos while my music is playing. It is already like this for synced photos. If you don't want music all the time in your screenssaver, there should be an option to turn it off. Slideshows are for showing individual photos. I want that 3-D effect of my photos rising up on the screen in various sizes to play with my streamed photos. As I said, it will already do it with synced photos.
What I 'm saying is that I don't really want to use the hard drive at all for the storage of content. In fact, I'd rather plug in a USB hard drive into the back of the ATV.
At any rate, the point is that streamed photos cannot be played as a screensaver while listening to music at this point. I thought it would surely be possible, since it is with synced photos, but this new feature in iTunes didn't make it possible.
Does slideshow have a way to display photos in that 3-D way, with the photos moving up the screen?
