Photo stream won't load as screen saver

I cant get any photo streams to load as slide shows or screen savers on my apple tv.  I tried it on my buddies apple tv with there own seperate photo stream and thy had the same issue.  This used to work for me no problem.  What's up apple?  Obviously it's software.  I called apple tech support and we trouble shot the crap out of it and came up with nothing.  Please help?

Do you mean you created a shared photo stream? Did you make sure to select those photos by going to settings - screensaver on your ATV?
Also note, only a small portion of the cache is used for the screensaver (typically will hold around 100 photos)

  • Folder in photo stream won't load

    I created a folder in my photo stream to be used solely as a screen saver on my Apple TV. About half of the 320 pictures appear on the screen and when screen saver initiates, the screen remains blank. Please help.

  • Shared photo stream won't load

    Someone shared a photo stream with me and I click on it, but nothing happens. I'm using iPhone 4 with iOS 6.1.3

    Hard reset your phone and try to click that link, while connected to strong wifi network. If still doesn't work, you may have to ask for another invite.

  • HT201317 Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all of my pics onto my new iPhone 5c. phone plug into iMac, all settings on phone are for photo stream on. it only sent 100 out of 1000. thanks for any help !

    Can anyone tell me why my photo stream is not loading all 1,000 pictures onto my new iphone 5c? i backed up my old phone onto the mac and plugged in my new phone then hit backup. it only gave me 100 pictures????? why?
    thanks for any help!

    Because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days, allowing enough time for your devices to download them.  Only shared streams keep photos in iCloud indefinitely.  Your other photos are probably older than 30 days and are no longer in iCloud.
    Also, photo stream photos aren't included in your backup, only camera roll photos are.  If you want to include photo stream photos that are not already in your camera roll in your backup, you have to save them to the camera roll before backing up.

  • Display won't sleep and screen saver won't sart

    I upgraded to the new OS and the display won't sleep and screen saver won't come on. Help please.

    Long shot.
    Do a backup.
    Quit the application.
    In Finder hold down the option/alt key while selecting the Go menu item. Select Library. Then go to Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist. Move the .plist to your desktop.
    Restart the computer, open the application and test. If it works okay, delete the plist from the desktop.
    If the application is the same, return the .plist to where you got it from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you want to make your user library permanently visible, run the below command in Applications/Utilities/Terminal.
    chflags nohidden ~/Library/
    You will need to do that after any updates.

    Preferences error, could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane.

    Close all windows and quit all applications.
    Hold the option key down and click the "Go" menu in the Finder menubar.
    Select "Library" from the dropdown, then "Preferences" folder.
    Look for these three files.
    com.apple.screensaver.plist           
    com.apple.desktop.plist
    com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    Right click each  one of those and select " Move To Trash" from the contextual menu.

  • Is there a limit to the number of Photos one can use in the Screen Saver?

    As the title inquires... I recently help set-up a friend's screen saver to use their entire iPhoto library as content. The library has about 2,800 pictures. When the screen saver engaged, the 'Looking for pictures...' dialogue came up, and 10 minutes later it is still there. I am hoping that it is just indexing these photos, and once complete the screen saver will kick in, and future activations of the screen saver will kick in more quickly.
    If not, what is the limit? And, if you are from Apple and are reading this, why did you not include this information in an easy to access location, so that going through all of this would not be necessary.

    There is no limit as to the amount of pictures the screensaver can use. However the more pictures there is a slightly longer loading time. HOWEVER still, it should not take 10 minutes for 2800 pics. It shouldn't even take a minute.
    It would be a little helpful as to what computer your running and what OS, but here is a good suggestion.
    The first thing you want to do is to make sure you have the most recent updates for the OS and iPhoto. (Use the software updater)
    Next you should repair disk permissions. Go into apps, into utilities, open disk utility, click your hard-drive on the left, and click repair disk permissions. When thats finished (10-30 minutes depending) restart the computer. For reasons that I'm not quite sure, disk permissions fixes many problems and glitches you may encounter.
    Try setting you screensaver again.

  • How can I use a photo from my files as a screen saver?

    I have an LG monitor about 10" high and 16" wide.  How can I send a photo from my Adobe files to my desktop as a screen saver.  Because of the odd dimensions of this monitor, the one I have as a screensaver now does not show the entire photo. I need instructions how to choose one of my photos, send it to the monitor as a screen saver, and make it the correct size to show the entire photo.

    You'll need to download the song from your cd to your my music folder, then open Itunes files add files or folder to the library then you find your song from your my music folder.   Then you will have to create the ringtone:

    follow the instruction to create then sync the ringtones.

  • PHOTO STREAM KEEPS SHOWING LOADING

    Hi Everyone..
    I have removed most of the pics from camera roll on iPhone and iPad, and made separate photo streams of my pictures, more like albums. For e.g. each trip photos is a photo stream. This way I reduced the space usage on iPhone and iPad. However, whenever I want to access these photo streams and open them on my iOS devices, it keeps showing loading...Do I always need net access to view these ? It just takes a lot of time to view them on my devices...
    Some one please advise

    Hello Ashishoswal,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    For Photo Stream to download the photos, an active internet connection is required.
    iCloud also requires an active Internet connection via Wi-Fi or cellular data, and some features work only with a Wi-Fi connection.

  • IPhoto photo stream won't work

    Since iPhoto was updated in December, my iphoto library somehow became corrupted, crashed and wouldn't open. I've had lots of attempts at trying to find out what was wrong as this only affected the iphoto on my macbook pro.  My ipad & iphone are both working fine.  Eventually, after several attempts at trashing the library, rebuilding databases, repairing permissions etc, I eventually gave up and extracted all the original photos from the files and saved them in a separate file.  I then trashed the iphoto library altogether and also the software and left it for a while.  Then I installed my iphoto library from a saved backup file from last year before I had a problem and also installed a fresh copy of the software from the App store.  This is now working but I still can't get the iphoto stream to work in icloud.  I can switch the photo stream on and off in system preferences but in the iphoto preferences the tick box just won't stay ticked!!  So I still can't stream my photos - most of which I take with my iphone and really miss the feature of having syncronized photos on all my devices. 
    I'm really pulling my hair out on this one and am at my wits end!! I really don't know where to go from here & have tried just about everything.  It's very nice having Iphoto displaying all my photos, but they're all now old and I want it to display all my new photos too.  Please can someone out there help me?? I'd be so grateful to get this wretched problem sorted.  Thank you very much!!

    Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
