Photo titles in Apple TV 2?

Am I missing a setting somewhere? How can I get my photo titles to show up on my Apple TV2? It seems only logical that I should be able to somehow see them when I see them either via the web (Mobile Me) or on my iPhone (Gallery) when synched from iPhoto.

I suspect that you will have to re-edit the metadata to accomplish your goal. As images are copied and moved this is often modified (place/geotag, faces, dates).......... Just a though. You can download the photos and both check it and if necessary change it in iPhoto

  • Adding photo titles in web gallery iPhoto 8

    When I publish photos to the web gallery in iPhoto 8 I have "show photo titles" checked in the options yet the titles never appear in the published album. What am I doing wrong?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. Launch iPhoto and reset your iPhoto preferences. Then reset the gallery settings and republish.
    2 - delete the Web Gallery, recreate and publish it.
    See if that will help.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Photo Stream is only seeing Scan #.jpg, not the Photo Title

    Can anyone tell me how to correct an issue I'm having between our iMac/iPhoto and Photo Stream... I scanned in about 500 photos of the family history and nammed each file with a descriptive text.  However, when I import the photos to the Photo Stream, I only see "Scan 893.jpg" even though iPhoto clearly shows "Bill's Birthday".  I've loaded and re-loaded, still only get a Scan Number in Photo Stream.  In iPhoto I don't even notice a scan # unless I hover the curser over the Info box where "Bill's Birthday" is clearly displayed, an after a few seconds the "Scan 893.jpg" shows up.
    When I started this little project to share with the family, I actually notice the scan numbers coming in only, I had been putting details in the Description sections.  I played around with the File Name/Title and got it to come through the Photo Stream and Apple TV, so I thought I had it resolved... but now none of my family can see the descriptions.  When I look at my own copy of the Photo Stream through iPhoto, I only see Scan Numbers also.
    Thanks!

    Photo Stream only uses the file name, not the title. The title only exist in iPhoto.  To get the title to be used in Photo Stream once must export the file out of iPhoto via the File ➙ Export ➙ File Export menu with the option File Name - User Title option.  Then import the new photos and add them to the Photo Stream.

  • No photo titles AT ALL in Photos app shared albums

    Is there some hidden setting to turn on the photo titles?

    Until Photos called Titles 'titles', anyone I ever spoke to called the filename the title. My mistake in not understanding that Photos ignores the photo filename entirely and 'titles' all the photos as 'Untitled' in fuzzy light grey text, only visible when hovering over the offending item, and not permanently in a useful way.
    The filenames are useless in the get info window. If you deliberately or accidentally scroll the thumbnail browser, the get info panel is entirely independent of the app interface and you have absolutely no idea to which image the get info refers to. It's terrible design.
    I just want to see the filename under the photo. It's not much to ask. I can't actually see the point of the app, it's like a crappy, feature limited bad imitation of iPhoto - an Apple app that already does everything Photos does, but much better.

  • Why are all the photo titles in Photobooth the same?

    This question concerns photobooth and using photos taken in iPhoto.
    The problem is this: I took a bunch of photos with photobooth, then imported them into iPhoto. I then attempted to move those photos into a seperate folder on my desktop, but I couldn't since each individual photo was titled "MyPicture.jpg". I could go through the process of renaming all the photos by hand, but is there any automated way to do this and just assign maybe a random filename?

    Hi Isaacprobert,
    Thanks for the question. Based on what you stated, it seems like you still have photos in Photostream. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

  • I figured out how to put photos onto the Apple TV Screen-Saver

    I was having trouble using photos with the Apple TV screen saver.
    I got as far as putting them into the photo stream, but some photos were crooked, with no way of editing them.
    I called Apple, they didn't know what to do.
    I am submitting this after calling Tech Support at Apple, wanting to give them the information...don't know if they really took it to heart.  I figured this out myself with the help of my son.
    I want to share it with others.
    So, let me begin:
    I texted my son, he had set it up once for me, but I deleted the file. 
    So he told me to edit the photos on my iPhone, in my photostream.  Well there wasn't any to edit.  The file was not there.
    So going through my PC, I clicked on "My Computer" 
    I clicked onto "iCloud Photos"
    I get what looks like the above photo.  Click on "New photo stream"
    You will then get this screen.  In the "to" field, send it to yourself.  And then name your file, click "next".
    It will then give you this screen:
    When all the photos load, click done.
    THEN, go to your Apple TV. 
    Settings:
    Click on "Screen Saver"
    Click on "Photos"
    Click on "iCloud Photos"
    Click on the file you named on your PC.
    Now you will find, like me on "previewing" that some pictures were not straight.
    Go to your iPhone, click on your "Camera Roll"
    Click on "Photo Stream"
    Then you will see your file that you created for your screen saver.
    Click onto your file, from there you can click on the crooked photo and click "Edit", it asks to save it to "Camera Roll".  Click there. 
    What I did then was delete the crooked picture and at the bottom of this file within your "Photo Stream", go to the bottom of the photos, it will have a tile with a plus sign in it.  Click on that to add from your "Camera Roll" the corrected picture. 
    Do this for every crooked photo.
    ALL DONE!
    When done, go to your "Camera Roll" and delete these photos.

    This issue is resolved, through the generous advice of folks on this page.
    See my reply to Apple (2nd gen.) photo shuffle.  The Fix that I posted works for Apple 3 Gen, which was just purchased Dec. 27,2013.
    Thanks to all

  • How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

    After accidentally deleting photo stream  photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV.  How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to  my iPad?  Suggestions welcomed

    If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
    If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
    If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
    I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

  • How to get photos off my Apple TV

    There are family vacation photos on our Apple TV that we can't seem to locate anywhere else. How do I get them off my Apple TV to save them on my computer or to a flash drive??

    There are no photos stored on the ATV, it is merely streaming them from a computer (via HomeSharing) or the PhotoStream on iCloud.

  • I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?

    I have finally figured out how to export an iphoto album so that I can maintain the proper order of the photos after burning the file. How do I keep each individual photo title and description after exporting and burning?  Presently after exporting and burning each photo is identified by the file name rather than each individual title description.  

    File name and Title are not the same thing.
    Filename is attached to the Jpeg file in the Finder.
    Title is attached to the photo within the Jpeg file - as is the description. These are written to the Exif and IPTC metadata on export.
    So: File -> Export. Kind: Jpeg or Tiff and Check the box at 'Title and Keywords'. This will write the Title, keywords and descriptions (though not explicitly stated) to the metadata. This can then be viewed in any app that understand this material.
    You can choose, if you wish, to also use the Title as a Filename - that's an option at File Name

  • Photo stream on Apple TV

    Trying to view Photo Stream on Apple TV. It says there are no photos in this album. But I have photos on my iPhone and iMac in photo stream. Running Apple tv. Version 5.2

    For me, whenever I setup Photo Stream it only loads the most recent photos and then thereafter.
    Seems odd that AppleTV only captures the most current and photos as I've taken them or saved in Camera Roll most recently.
