Photo sharing doesn't work, no folders, sorting, limit amount, waiting for library

I promised my wife that I would make a solution for us to view our photo collection on TV.
So I bought a Synology DS411Slim and copied all our photo's from all our computers to this NAS, and bought an AppleTV.
Then I shared some photo folders from the iTunes on my MacBook.
This worked for the first time and we could browse the photo's, super cool.
But then I added a folder, it took a while for AppleTV to sync the library, but after that I could not find the folder.
It was not sorted on name, it was the last folder in the list!
Then I changed the iTunes photo share folder, but now the AppleTV doesn't finish the reading of the library.
I started to read the web about photo sharing problems, and I found that there are really a lot of complaints about this basic functionality.
Viewing photo's on your AppleTV is one of the first things that you want to do imho, I'm not interested searching for photo's on Flickr,
I want my own photo's, and I want to see the folders.
I really don't understand this from Apple, what do I tell my wife?
Bart
p.s. I also installed iOS beta 6, but no improvements on the photo sharing..

Bart, did you get any further with this issues? I have the same situation here :
Situation:
I store my Pictures (8K) and Music on a DS212j equipped with 7200RPM.
I reference my iTunes to this NAS and have done a consolidated files on the NAS.
I homeShare on itunes the shared folders on the NAS with 8K pics.
Want to see and hear all that on my Apple TV.
The problem:
Apple TV Music Library over Itunes works flawlessly. GOOD
XBOX 360 access the pictures on NAS via DLNP and works flawlessly. GOOD
iPhone through Synology Photo apps get through all Pictures. GOOD
Apple TV Pictures Library over iTunes : dont get out of loading libraries! NOT GOOD
The Question:
Since everything works with the NAS (Music with iTunes, Pictures with Xbox and iPhone), what is going wrong with the Pictures Library of Apple TV through iTunes?
The NAS vs The External Drive
I often see answer saying NAS is not the best place to share photo, but reality is that it will be more and more ofenly use since it is a good solution for a family with grewing pictures library and Apple TV should manage it...
1- I dont use external drive on a Portable MacBook Pro
2- wife and kids just dont want to touch an external Hard drive!
3-... And Xbox read it from NAS flawlessly... ThereFore, it should work on the Apple Tv.
Thanks,
Christian
P.S. It seem not recommanded putting iPhoto Library on the NAS. (See post from Terence Devlin)

After upgrading to iOS 7.0 my iMessage doesn't work and it says it is "waiting for authorization". When I try to activate it, it won't connect.

I upgraded to iOS 7.0 and now my iMessage doesn't work. My phone reads "waiting for activation" When I try signing in I get a message "Could not sign in. Please check your network connections and try again". My network connection is fine for all other applications. Any help?

Lumia 920 - internet sharing doesn't work: Connect...

Hello all,
I'm experiencing a serious problem with the lumia 920. It seems impossible to share my internet connection. Something I normally use for several hours a day. If this problem can't be fixed soon, ill be forced to swithc back to iphone or htc.
Problem description:
When turning "internet sharing" on:
Connection not shared - There is no cellular data connection to share right now. Check your cellular settings and signal, and try again.
Important remarks
Belgium - cellular provider is Mobistar
I can browse, sync email, etc over the provider's network ans send and receive MMS.
Provider does not block internet sharing. Have always used this.
OS Version 8.0.10211.204
Firmware revision: 1232.5957.1308.0002
Access point :
Nokia Access Point version:3.4.1.7 - db 2.0.0.100 - lib 1.2.0.7
The default access point provided in the Nokia Access Point app does not work: can't even browse.
Using a manually added APN:
Data type (default / LTE) tried both. Everything keeps working - except internet sharing...
APN pro.web.be (for professional subscribers)
MMS APN mms.be
MMSC address: https://mmsc.mobistar.be
What have i tried to remedy the situatiuon?
updated the Nokia Access Point app
changed language to spanisch using OTA update (silly, but read on a forum this might help)
soft reset of the phone (often!)
deleted the manually created access point
Hard reset of my phone
I'm interested, of course, in any tips to solve this serieus bug / issue / problem.
(my best guess is that Nokia tries to help their customers with the Access point app, but fails to do so).
Please, if any of you experience the same problem please respond to this post so we can get an idea about how big of a problem this is.

Hi,
I had the same problem. But I let it go after weeks of corresponding with Mobistar.
Yesterday I went to a Mobistar shop, the guy tried lots of thing I already tried (different apn's, ...).
Then he told me the it's a problem with business clients. They have to use the apn web.pro.be, where internet sharing doesn't work (he doesn't know why).
But, that if I call to Mobistar and ask to activate apn mworld.be on my telephone number, it should work.
Today I called Mobistar Business (you can find the helpdesk number on your invoices), asked to activate mworld.be to have internet sharing access on a windows phone.
Half an hour later, using mworld.be as apn i have internet access, and I can share my internet connection.
regards,
Stijn

HT201317 Photo stream doesn't work wen I take photo,photos doesn't appear in photo stream ?

Photo stream doesn't work , wen I take photo, photos doesn't appear in photo stream

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    Photostream only syncs photos over Wi-Fi, make sure you are connected to Wi-Fi to begin with.
    2.    Photostream only syncs when the camera app is closed, ensure it is closed.
    3.    Photostream only syncs when the battery is above 20%, try recharging the device
Try disabling photo stream on your device (settings > iCloud), restarting your device and then re-enabling photo stream.
If this doesn't help you may need to reset photo stream. You can do this at icloud.com by clicking on your name in the top right corner and then the advanced settings in the pop-up dialogue box that appears.
Note: disabling photostream and re-enabling it will result in any photos that are currently in the photostream album on your device, that are older than 30 days old, not being added back.

No reason it should have stopped working. Maybe a problem waiting to happen and an upgrade pushed it over the edge. Provide some specs on your Mac, but I would really advise making an appointment at the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store.
Good Luck

Photo stream doesn't work on my PC

My photo stream doesn't work on my PC. I'm signed in, and have photo stream on, but it won't load any of my photos.

Okay several views and no replies later I did some more research myself and tried something different.
I reset my photo stream following these directions http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4890
Then I went into iCloud control panel on my laptop and signed out it told me photostream was turned off and the folder my pictures were stored in. I looked and saw a picture I took this morning in there YAY. So I then signed into iCloud again and turned photostream back on and took a picture with my iPhone and now my photos are streaming again.
Hope this helps someone else.

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.

After downloading iOS 8, Photo stream doesn't work.
In what way? Your MyPhotoStream photos will show in in the Photos.app in the "Recently Added" album, but their is no longer a "My Photo Stream" album.
If you enabled "iCloud Photo Library Beta" in the "Video/Photos" Settings, disable it. This will prevent the Photo Stream from syncing from your Macs to the iOS 8 devices.

I purchased an I pad giving my macbook to my husband. His photo stream doesn't work but mine still goes onto macbook . How can I stop that ?

Another item to consider is do you and your husband have your own iTunes accounts? If so then log out of iTunes on your old Macbook and log back in with your husbands ID and password. If not this post will self destruct in 10, 9, 8, ......

After the update the home sharing doesn't work anymore

Last night I had an update from my Apple TV. After I updated it, the home sharing doesn't work anymore on any device. Not on my iPhone, iTunes, iPad, nothing. I double checked every setting and this isn't the problem. I have the newest version of iTunes. Please help!

Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview (9879 Build)

Why Lync screen sharing doesn't work in Windows 10 Technical Preview?
It works well Windows 8.1, but why not in Windows 10?

Hi PriTeddy,
Thanks for your feedback.
As Paul Adare said, Microsoft has noticed such issue, they are listed in following blog:
http://blogs.windows.com/bloggingwindows/2014/11/12/new-build-available-to-the-windows-insider-program/
Some known problems:
As with the last build, you’re getting hot-off-the-presses code which means there are a few issues. We’ll be publishing WU updates shortly to fix the first two, but the remainder will not be fixed for 9879.
•In some cases you may get a black screen when trying to log-in or unlock. The only option is to hold the power button to hard reboot.
•You will be unable to connect to Distributed File System network locations.
•Some systems may see disk growth of 20GB+ due to driver install duplication. On systems with low disk space this can block setup and cause a rollback to the previous build.
•Skype calls will disconnect and Music will stop playing if those apps are minimized.
•There are several known issues with screen sharing with Lync.
Let’s wait for next builds.

Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore.

Help: I have recently downloaded the newest software version for apple products. I have a iPod touch. After the process of updating my software, my photo app doesn't work anymore. I can't take pictures or view them at all. Every time I try opening the app it kicks me out of it and sends me to the home screen. I have tried turning off my iPod and back on multiple times. Even double tapping the home screen button and closing my opened apps. And I tried looking for the photo app in the app store but I did not see it. So I am wondering what can I do? And is this due to the new software update? Does anyone else have this problem?

No, I have not tried any backup tools. I havent restored my ipod back to factory settings yet and then sync everything back on it. I am kind of scared too because I dont want to lose anything. I have just been hoping some new apple software update will come out because I know several people have had problems when updating to the newest version available.

HT2404 I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!

I'm trying to update apps and download new ones on mi ipad, but it doesn't work... the icons say "waiting" and nothing happens for days!Help!

Here are a bunch of things that you can try to get the downloads to resume.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

What tips have you tried so far? Just so we don't waste our time telling you things you've already done.
When you respond, also indicate which country and carrier you're using. Also, is your phone brand new? can you make a phone call / access the internet while on cellular?
