Photo Slideshow on ATV

I have over 12K pictures for the slideshow to pull from, but it constantly plays the same pictures. Is there a way to make it so it only shows them once?

Unfortunately I don't think there's a way to get the Apple TV to pull from the larger pool of pictures. I find it grabs a selection of photos when the screensaver starts and keeps repeating them. It would be nice if Apple would update the software to continually show new photos from the selected folder and subfolders without repeating them, but that's not the way they have it set up right now. Maybe if enough people request this they will make the change....

  • Photo slideshow order problems

    Im using ATV2 withy mac. I have linked the ATV2 to my folder of digi photos via itunes (ie i am not sharing the photos via iphoto - prefer picasa!).
    On ATV when i try to play a photo slideshow the photos are played in filename order only. This is a major problem when a folder has been populated by photos taken from two different cameras. It also causes problems with movies which arent played in order either.
    It seems the ATV2 is crying out for an option to play the slideshow in order of date/time photo/movie taken. This is what happens when syncing your photos to your iphone!
    I have tried somework arounds ie renamer or batch renaming the files in picasa. However, it appears the mac is deficient via finder in working out when the photo was actually taken. ie it gives you a filename created or modified date but this isnt consistent with the metadata of the photo of time photo taken.
    Does anyone have any work arounds/suggestions? Please help!!

    I don't have this problem using iPhoto, obviously it's your choice which software you use.

  • Photo slideshows

    Ok, here's the problem.
    I've put all my pictures in slideshows on iphoto and assigned them music. The music works fine with the slideshow on
    apple tv but the slideshow skips through pictures too fast and the slideshow repeats.
    These problems persist no matter what i try to do to change the settings. For example, i've tried changing the slideshow speed in the photo slideshow settings on apple tv but the speed does not change. I've also tried changing the speed in the slideshow on iphoto but again the speed of the slideshow does not change. Same goes for setting the "repeat" to "off." It just repeats anyway
    Is anyone else having the same problems or is it just me??

    Your probem sounds similar to what I was exeriencing with iPhoto Slideshows and my ATV. On my MacBook the music and slideshow played perfectly. On my ATV one slideshow plays fine, with others the slideshows ends, before the music is over and both stop out of sync. Checked all the settings on the slideshow that works, against those that would and everything was the same. Very strange....

  • Is there a way to auto-refresh photo slideshow contents?

    I'm trying to create a slideshow on ATV that contains photos of an event like a party as I add the photos to iPhoto.  I'm using an Eye-Fi card in my camera which will upload photos as I take them into the iPhoto Auto Import folder.  I've then setup an iPhoto smart album named Todays Imports and I point my ATV to that folder and start a slide show.
    ATV will pick up all the photos as of the time it connects to my library but it won't refresh from my library until I stop iTunes and restart it and reconnect to my library.
    It would be great if I could have a setting in ATV that says to periodically refresh the photos from the library while the slideshow is running.  Then I can pass the camera around during the party and as people take pictures they would show up on the TV's slideshow.

    There is a workaround for this kind of thing.  Not exactly elegant, but it does the job.  I, too, prefer to keep a Reference library on a NAS, rather than keeping the library and originals on the system volume in Pictures (iPhoto default).  It involves using the Terminal to change a file attribute (in my case the file Modification Date, but it could be anything selectable as a Finder View option) that will identify it from the pix already imported into iPhoto from an existing directory.
    What I do is keep a 'touch' folder (named '_rawPix' for me) where I copy all new pix over to.  When I'm ready to organize into existing subfolders, I follow the helpful directions from Rajesh Patel's blog to change Mod dates.  Then I organize the mod'd files into their respective folders in the Finder on the NAS.  Then I can open each folder, View by Date, drag the newer pix into iPhoto albums (ie directory equivalents), and voila...updated/refreshed iPhoto directories.
    It ain't pretty, but its routine.

    There are trillions of slideshows to be found on the internets.
    Download the one you like, make it work the way you want and put it on the server.
    Display it in the browser to see if it looks the way you want.
    Then use the <iframe> html element to display it in a HTML Snippet.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in my movie

    Hello all,
    Im woking on my first movie with Premier Elements 12 and I can not figure out how to include a slideshow of pictures at the end of my movie.
    Of course I can drag the photos on the timeline and use trancients in between but there is nothing I can do with the picture like editting/cut parts off, make them black/white and use movement effects for example.
    Isnt this an option/included in Premiere lements 12 ?
    I just bought the software but also played around with the trial of Cyberlink Powerdirector which has this handy magic function to select all pictures at once and create different/random trancirents and effects and pictures could be editted also.
    This is what Im after but I can not find how to do this stuff in Premiere lements 12.
    Hope someone can help me out.
    Thatnks in advance

    AlexSan
    Do you have Photoshop Elements 12 as well as Premiere Elements 12?
    What is this "movie" that the photo slideshow is going to be at the end of? A video? If so, what are the
    properties of that video...video and audio compressions, frame size, frame rate, interlaced or progressive, file extension, pixel aspect ratio?
    What is your intended final product...DVD-VIDEO standard or widescreen on DVD disc, AVCHD on DVD disc, or Blu-ray disc format on Blu-ray disc?
    With the above information, I will suggest some approaches that you might want to look into.
    Thanks.

  • How to apply a specific music for each photo slideshow

    I'd like to setup a specific music for a specific photo slideshow, and to store that preferences, in some way, so that, on selecting a slideshow, automagically startup the specific song.
    Is it possible ?
    Seems not ... yet.

    You can do that by preparing the slideshow in iphoto instead of on the tv, you then have to ensure you sync the slideshow and the tunes you have used in the slideshow before playing it on the tv.

  • How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

    I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
    I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

    Jon,
    See if this works. It may or may not.
    Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
    See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
    Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
    Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)
    Send Apple Your Feedback

  • I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV.  Is this a design flaw?  Or is it me?  My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

  • HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

    I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

    The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

  • Stop and start a photos slideshow

    Hi .. So I want to use the photos slide show to execute a presentation .. But this means I need to start the slideshow and then stop, present the slide (a photo of the slide in fact), and then continue to the next photo .. I.e. I want manual control of the slideshow. Is this possible without having to stop and restart the whole slideshow?
    Thanks.
    Btw keynote cannot handle my large ppt files, and photos/slideshow is the only other app I can find that outputs to the via and my tv/projector, hence I converted the talk to a jpeg and loaded it as a sequence of photos! It would be quite a lot easier if good reader could output to the VGA, or keynote display PDF files.

    Hi,
    If you do the slideshow from the opening screen (Picture Frame), the iPad allows for no control other than stopping the show completely. If you run the slideshow from within the Photo app, if you stop a slide (you have to touch it and move it a bit to get it to stop), then the whole slideshow stops and you have to restart it again in the usual way. So Craig is right. Just put your presentation in an album, open the album and manually swipe to the next photo when you're ready. The only practical way to get the photos onto the iPad is to sync them to the Photo Library album (you can't sync to the Saved Photo album and you can only get pictures in there either from Safari or from email- unless I'm missing something), which means you'll be losing the ones that are already there. But that shouldn't be a problem if you just store them on your main computer and synch them back after the presentation's done.

  • My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas

    My Mac Air iphoto will display thumbnails but will not display photos in any way - single photo / slideshow etc - any ideas?

    Are you seeing this
    when you double click on a thumbnail file?  If so it's an indication that the file path/link between the thrumbnail and original, full sized file has been broken.  Therefore, and assuming you're running iPhoto 9 or later, try the following:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down to open the First Aid window.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database.

  • How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

    describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

    iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
