Photo albums on Apple TV

Confused...... have downloaded Apple TV version 3.0 and Itunes 9.02, and really glad to finally see better options for photo viewing.
However, as I have a bigger library than the size of my ATV, I am not syncing all pics, but wish to sync some.
I have selected certain albums and events in last 12 months.
On using ATV, events are there and so is the generic large file of pics, but none of the smart or normal albums that I have ticked.
Can anyone shed any light?
BTW - if you are experiencing connection issues, on other threads it seems apple wireless is shot on snow leopard and on iphone. Cheers apple.

Hi,
Not sure, but could it be that the smart folders would only work if the source events, to which the "smartly selected" photo's belong, are also synced?
Regards,
Vincent

TS2972 when viewing photo albums thru apple tv photos show in random order. How do I get to show in sequence ?

When viewing photo albums photos show in random. How do you get photos to show in sequecne?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Before going into any depth about this have you checked that you aren't simply using the shuffle option in the slideshow settings.

Thanks for a completely useless photo albums feature apple...

So just upgraded to iOS5, and today decided to take advantage of the new photo albums feature but moving my photos to folders that actually mean something.
Finally apple let you do this, or so i thought...
However I found that when moving the photos, it does not move them, but makes duplicates.
So i delete the original in camera roll as the whole point of the albums is to not have every photo mixed together in one giant backlog...
Now the photos are gone from all albums!
Not only that, but it seems iCloud which is supposed to backup your phone, doesn't actually back up photos.
Neither can i find anywhere on my computer (iTunes) where the backups/photos are located.
I suppose iTunes doesn't back them up automatically either?
Thanks a lot apple.

Apple can't hear you here.
This is where they can hear you:

iCloud backs up your last 1000 photos if you have Photostream activated
iTunes on Windows can sync photos to a variety of Windows image apps - it depends what you have on your system. Connect the phone, click the Photos tab in iTunes, and see what options you have.

Photo albums in Apple Tv

When browsing through photos on Apple TV, I only get some - but not all - of my albums and there appears to be no logic around which albums show and which do not.
How do I show all of my albums?
Thanks

Why if you try to send i photo album to apple tv assigned music does not play?

Why if you send album from i photo assigned music will not play on apple tv?

Are you sending an album or a slideshow? I don't think music can be assigned to an album.
Have you tried asking this question in the iPhoto forum (assuming it's an iPhoto question) or the AppleTV forum (if it's more a question about the AppleTV?).
Here's a link to the iPhoto forum:

Why are someone elses photo albums showing up in my icloud account on apple tv?

Logged in to my account on iCloud on Apple TV. It did not ask for my password, and it is now showing me hundreds of photos of a very nice family ... whom I have never met. I am unable to see any of my photos, but I have the personal photos of somoenoe else. Any ideas of how this happened or how to get my photos? I am sure that this family might not want their personal photos being viewed by me.

From the Photo Stream FAQ: (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US)
On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream view in the Photos app. If you're using iOS 6 or later, you can find your photos by tapping the Photo Stream tab and then tapping the My Photo Stream album. In iOS 5, your photos are in the Photo Stream album.
On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album in the Photo Stream view.
On a PC using Windows 8, from the Start screen, select Photo Stream. On a PC using Windows 7 or VIsta, click theWindows Start button, and then Pictures. Click Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.
On Apple TV, after signing in with your iCloud account, you can view your photos by choosing Photo Stream from the main menu (or selecting Internet > Photo Stream in Apple TV Software Update 5.0).

Copy and paste photo to another album.hope apple will do something about this

Copying and paste photo to different album is such a long process you need to sync your photos from your computer to
Teh ipad.i have a samsung phone that runs with android and it much easier to do this kind of things.i love my ipad 2 but i hope apple will do something about
Issue on the photo albums. On the advertisment of ios 5 they are saying we are making this easier but yet powerful.

Under ios 5 you can easily copy photos from any existing slbum to a new album.. You just cannot ( or at least i cannot) put them into an existing album.

All I can say is the books I've created as gifts to my children for their children were received with absolute joy and appreciation (each book chronicled in pictures the first year of each grandchild's life). Granted the sentimental factor had a lot to do with the recipient's enjoyment of the book but they were spetacular. The book with its glossy dust cover is a very impressinve way to present your photos.
As Larry has pointed out so many have posted here that they were very satisfried with their book and Apple is very good about correcting problems.
To make sure there are no errors in the book before you order preview the book as described in this Apple document: iPhoto '11: Preview a book, card, or calendar before you order or print it. If the PDF file shows no errors, either in text typos (my biggest problem) or in missing photos, etc., the printed book will be error free.

Why doesn't my apple TV 2 see my new photo albums right away?

When I create a new photo album to iPhoto, I can't figure out how to get it to show up on Apple TV right away. It eventually does, but never right away, sometimes it takes days... The same happens with new events when I import new photos into iPhoto. Homesharing is ON, and iPhoto preferences is set to 'share entire library'.

iTunes/AppleTV's seem unpredictable about how they update content availability.
I added some Amazon MP3s to itunes last night but they failed to appear on my AppleTV1, even after a restart, until I restarted iTunes.
I think that in reality AppleTV just isn't mad aware that new things have been added to itunes/iPhoto as oftem/quickly as you'd like.
Usually restarting iTunes and AppleTV sorts it.

Apple TV Photo Album Order

I just noticed that for some reason, the photo albums that I initially synced to my Apple TV appear alphabetically -- and then right after all of those albums, any new photo albums I synced subsequently appear alphabetically (i.e., A-Z original albums, A-Z new albums).
Has anyone else noticed this, and is there any way to fix this?
I just checked and my iPod Classic does the exact same thing. I have no idea why. I'm using the standard defaults in iTunes.

Yes I just synched new photos and the old photo folders appear alpabetically in "my photos" but the new folders only show in a new alphabetical list at the bottom of the old folder list.

Apple, please may you put the ability to upload photos from your photo album directly to Facebook in the iOS5.0.2 update?

Hi apple, I was wondering if you could in the iOS5.0.2 update or the update after that, give the ability to upload photos from your photo album directly to Facebook without having to plug your iPod, iPad or iPhone into your computer.

Apple does not monitor these forums for suggetions. To make a suggestion to Apple go here:
