Photo Sharing Solved!

I had trouble getting my new Apple Tv to do Photo sharing after having everything set up correctly. I did a software restore and it now works correctly. Just wanted to let others know!

I have set itunes/advanced/photo sharing selected iphoto and the albums I want but when I try it out, Apple TV2 directs me to go and do what I have already done.  If I choose "Picture Folder" then it works on Apple TV but not if I choose "iphoto".

  • IPhoto 08 Spinning Ball When Photo Sharing

    Since updating to iPhoto 08 every time I attempt to share my picture library iPhoto freezes and I get a spinning ball. After a number of minutes the ball stops to spin and iPhoto returns to its normal functionality. But, after initializing photo sharing every time I start iPhoto I experience the same problem where iPhoto is unresponsive with the spinning ball for a number of minutes and it returns to its normal functionality. I have read in the posts +*"Topic : iPhoto 08 gives spinning ball for 2 minutes at launch"*+ to delete the iphoto preference file. So I tried this and it fixed my problem of iPhoto freezing on start up but when I try to turn on picture sharing again the problem comes back. The person in this post thought that the freezing was related to the large size of their iPhoto library but I have two libraries one greater then 30 gigs and one smaller then 3 gigs and I have the same problems with both. If someone could help me or give me insight into how I can solve this problem it would be appreciated.

    This is definitely an iPhoto issue not a library issue. It took your advise but instead of rebuilding the xml file the library which sits on my internal drive I thought I would start fresh and make a new library and see if the problems persisted in this new library. So I created a new library and before even adding any pictures tried to share the library and the same problems that I had been experiencing happened again. This would lead me to believe that the problem isn't associated with the iPhoto library or any file in its contents but with the iPhoto program itself. But if this is the case I am at a loss because I have already once reinstalled and updated iPhoto to see if that would correct the problem and it didn't.
    Thanks

  • Photo sharing with Apple TV fails with large library over 20000 photos

    Apple TV 2nd gen user for several years and enjoy photo sharing and viewing my library on the big screen.  I shared two folders under My Pictures, one less than 500 pics remained stable and the other folder grew by several hundred photos every few month. Once the total number of photos to share reached almost 20,000 photos, Apple TV failed to launch into slideshow through the menu.  It basically jumped out to the main menu after clocking for several minutes. 
    So, I tried splitting the large folder into two separate folders (10K photos each) and reset the home sharing option in iTunes to point to three folders, instead of two, with the same total exceeding 20,000 pics.  The ATV seems to recognize the folders, and the count is correct, but I am still unable to get slideshow to launch.  It's as if I passed a threshold.
    Any thoughts?  Thanks.

    I've solved the problem.
    In Photos, Select Preferences.  In the General Tab, make sure that the path to your external Photos library shows in the Library Location.  Then click on the Use as System Library Photo Library button.
    In iTunes 12.1.12, you will now be able to select your specific albums as before.
    I updated my Apple TVs to the latest updates.
    The specific photo albums can be accessed in Apple TV now.

  • Issue with Photo Sharing on iPhoto on Mac

    Hellp everyone, this is my first time posting on the Apple Support communities. I have been having issues with my Photo Sharing on my Mac (Iphoto 11). I recently was on vacation and wanted to share the photos with my girlfriend and a few family members. I uploaded my photos to Iphoto on my mac and then went to Share, Photo Stream, and then crated a Photo Stream of our vacation. It asks me to name the photo stream and invite people. When I click on ok it creats the photo stream and the people I invited get invitations to join the photo stream, however, when I go to look at the photo stream there is no photos in it and none of the people i invited see any of the photos either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

    SOLVED!
    I had the same question.  Visited this thread and was disappointed to hear the feature was gone.
    Then I thought it just COULDN'T be.  So I kept tapping.  AND FOUND IT!
    Basically, when you are in your Photos App, as a previous poster said, it now divides your photos into "Moments".  These moments are arragned by Place and Date.
    Wherever it says the name of a place, just tap the name of the place (above the tiled thumbnails of the pics taken in that place) and you will be taken to a map, centered on the Moment in question.  Use finger gestures to zoom in and out, and you will see the pics you have taken, georeferenced and tagged to the locations you took them, as before (except now in IOS7 it uses Apple Maps, not Google).

  • Iphone 6 icloud photo sharing not working

    Today I got an iphone 6, did all the updates, and tried to use the icloud photo sharing.  I can create a stream, add photos, and invite people to view; however, when other people accept the invitation nothing shows up except "No Items" despite me sharing 50+ photos.  Also, when the other person adds photos to the stream I don't see anything on my end.
    How do I fix this?

    I would recommend taking a look at the Photo Stream troubleshooting steps found in the article below.

    I want to set up photo sharing with my Apple TV.  When I go to Advanced in iTunes I find sharing options, but iTunes will not let me choose "Selected albums, events, faces"  That option is gray.  All I can choose is "All photos......"  What am I doing wrong?  OS 10.7.5  iTunes 10.7

    Have you tried to share a journal instead of a photo stream? Then you can create a webpage with your pictures and send the link to the web page, see iPhoto for iOS (iPad): Share your journal as a webpage

  • Why is my shared photo stream taking up space on my iPhone when I have turned off photo sharing?

    I have an iPhone 5c with iOS 8.3. It's only an 8GB iPhone, so I only have about 5.2GB of space to use. So I have to be very picky about what stays and what goes on my iPhone. Photos is one of those things that don't stay on my phone long. I have deleted all of my pictures out of my albums (both camera roll and recently deleted) and there can be no photos found in my library. In settings, I turned off all photo sharing capabilities, so I shouldn't be getting shared photos from family members on my phone and stuff. So why does my storage say that shared photo stream is taking up 54.6MB? I would like it to say 0MB. Am I missing something? I've included a couple screenshots to help clarify things. Thanks for your help!

    This is what I mean. I'm seeing the 3.9 KB usage for Photo Stream under General>UIsage>Photos and Camera, nothing to do with the storage on iCloud and I have Photo Stream and everything to do with iCloud and photo sharing off. However, I may have had Photo Stream on before for a few weeks before I turned it off long ago. Could that data/used space just be a few photos that were once in Photo Stream before I turned it off if I've had it on before?

  • Photo Sharing

    I installed a new software release on Apple TV AND a new software iTunes release on my Windows 7 laptop. 
    Photo sharing no longer works. 

    It doesn't have hit counts anymore (not happy with that change either) but Picasa Web Albums has proven to meet my needs WAY better than Photobucket. Better yet you can upload web sized or full file photos plus make them public or private or semi private. I think you get the first gig of storage free & it's $5.00 per year to expand that to 20 gigs, which I feel is fair & i have 2 different album sets where I pay the fee & one that I'll keep under the radar by replacing old albums with newer ones. Picasa is also a very good free editing program & VERY easy to automate for uploads. Just Google Picasa for the download site & more info. In the meantime this is the link to one of my paid for sites.
    http://picasaweb.google.com/tcprcphotos
    Which is made available to all the local clubs so they can relive each event as quickly as I can edit the photos.

  • Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    Now that the photo gallery in MobileMe is ending, is there another photo sharing site to which existing iPhoto albums can be transferred as is, with photos in the same order and with titles, and with minimal problems?

    No. If you don't have the album you originally used to create the galleries you can do so by dragging the photos from each gallery to a new, empty album. Then when you find the photo sharing site/option you have decided on  you can easily upload each album to the site.
    Another option is to obtain a hosting service and create iWeb photo pages for each album and future albums similar to this photo page in one of my demo sites: iPhoto Book as an iWeb Slideshow.  Or you can use the iWeb album page and have an album for each  iPhoto album on it like on this demo page: Page-7 .

  • HT202786 my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    DVDs are encoded into MPEG2, which iMovie cannot edit. So you need to convert the DVD back to something else. For highest quality, I recommend that you convert the DVD to Apple Intermediate Codec. There is a free tool called MPEG Streamclip that will do this. You will also need to install the Apple QuickTIme MPEG2 Playback Component.
    Here are the details.
    1) Download and install the Apple MPEG2 QuickTime Component ($20) - available online from Apple.
    2) Download and install MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5 (free).
    3) Start MPEG Streamclip
    4) Insert your DVD into your Mac. If DVD Player or Front Row starts automatically quit those.
    5) Open a Finder window. Navigate to your DVD to the Video_TS folder.
    6) Drag the .VOB files from the Video_TS folder and drop then into MPEG Streamclip.
    7) If MPEG Streamclip offers to fix timecode breaks, say yes.
    8) Use FILE/EXPORT TO QUICKTIME to convert the files to Apple Intermediate Codec (or h.264 if you prefer)
    9a) Optional: You can deinterlace your footage in this step, if you like
    9b) optional: If you know the date and or time of the footage, name your file
    clip-yyyy-mm-dd hh;mm;ss
    (let mpeg streamclip provide the extension). This will provide metadata that iMovie will use to put the event in the right year and month.
    9c) Optional: If you don't want to make one huge clip out of your DVD, you can make smaller clips by using MPEG Streamclip. Move the cursor to the "in" point of the clip, and press i. Move the cursor to the "Out" point of the clip, and press o. Then do steps 8 through 10 and repeat until you have done this for all clips you want.
    10) Save the resulting file in a place where you can find it, like your Desktop.
    11) Open iMovie.
    12) In iMovie, choose FILE/IMPORT/From File and choose the file you saved in steps 8, 9, 10.
    13) iMovie will generate thumbnails and you can edit.

    my friend shared a video with me on icloud photo sharing and then she deleted it from her camera roll, how do I save it???(very urgent)

    Welcome to the Apple Community Diane.
    I find that shared video can be troublesome, a few haven't appeared to work as you describe but have done when I've looked at a later date. Hopefully they will work if you give them a bit longer. perhaps it would be a good idea if you make sure they are working before deleting them from the camera roll.

  • 3 questions: 1) I am unable on my Mac Book Pro to enable iCloud Photo sharing in iPhoto preferences, why not? I cannot see my iCloud drive contents.Why not?

    Having a Macbook Pro i have taken and loaded in 569 photos from my cameras and want to share using iCloud. But I simply cannot get iPhoto to enable iCloud photo sharing. What could be the cause? what should I try other than the instructions which I followed three times already as outlined in the FAQ section of the help function?

  • Photo Sharing in iWeb.

    Why is it that you can only lock the photo sharing for a photos page and not a welcome page or a blog page? This is stupid. You should be able to lock all photos if you want. Why has Apple disable this feature for a Welcome or a Blog page? There are photos one can use on those types of pages that can be equally pirated, and I don't like any of my photos being shared, no matter what size they are. I want the control of NOT sharing any of them.

    There is no way to prevent anyone from getting a copy of a photo that's in a web page. The photos page just prevents downloading the photo files that were used in the slideshow but not from making a screenshot of them`.
    Any screenshot of a photo will be at the pixel dimension as seen on the screen and 72 dpi resolution and can be printed as a quality photo only at a very small size.
    The best way to show ownership of a photo is to put a watermark on each photo like this example . It was done with Photoshop. There are a number of watermarking applications available. Go to VersionTracker.com and search for "watermark" to get a list of possible candidates.
