Photo transfer to Apple TV

I transfer photos from my iMac to my first generation Apple TV. In a folder on an external hard drive attached to the iMac, iTunes only recognizes 8 of 140 raw files with related xmp files. If I export the raw files as jpgs it recognizes all. Why? Any way to avoid the export step?

AppleTV 2 cannot store photos more than transiently.
With Windows you'd need to configure a photo containing folder to view using iTunes under Advanced>Choose Photos to Share (or similar menu option for Windows).
Some apps on Windows used to be able to share to AppleTV2, i'm not sure if that is still the case.

Need help undoing photo transfer from iPhone 4s.

Hello gang, I need some help with a photo transfer as things have gone awry!
I had ~100 photos in my Camera Roll on my 4s. Went to transfer these to a PC, as usual; however, I did (2) thiings differently this time:
(a) did this directly to a USB (instead of to my hard drive first).
(b) Instead of my normal 'copy/paste/delete' I did a 'cut/paste' in order to save a step.
Well, lo and behold, these are now on my USB but each at 1KB size and when I go to view I get the message "Windows Photo Viewer can't open this picture because either Photo Viewer doesn't support this file format, or you don't have the latest updates to Photo Viewer." My PC is running Windows 7, and right now I have about 100 photos that are not accessible. I am not able to 'copy' back to the iPhone and at this point they are lost.
I am curious if copying directly to the USB instead of to my hard drive has generated this issue, although I do not understand why. I have plugged in the USB to other PCs and photos are still not readable, nor are the photos still present in my Camera Roll. Please tell me these are not gone?!
Help!

Please, try "Photo Transfer WiFi" or "Sync Photos to Storage" from the App Store. Does it solves your problem?
I recommend you the second app. It allows you to send all your Camera Roll photos and videos to the desktop in one tap!

My "places" in photos is working on my phone but not transferred to my iPad in Photo Stream even though the photos transfer. It used to work, so did I do something?

OK Vicky, good clues...
See if this helps...
Open Keychain Access in Utilities, use Keychain First Aid under the Keychain Menu item, then either check the Password under that item, change it, or delete it and start over. See if there are duplicates, should be one for Incoming & one for Outgoing.

If Keychain First Aid finds an issue that it cannot repair, or if you do not know your keychain password, you may need to reset your keychain.

Photo Transfer to 5G Questions

I'd like to download photos from my digital camera to my 5G but don't really wish to spend $50 Can for the adapter that Apple sells. Was wondering then if my camera USB cable and iPod USB cable could simply be connected with a USB female-female connector or, does the Apple camera adapter perform some sort of signal processing?
Also, I can't figure out what initiates the photo transfer - there seems to be no menu options for it in the iPod. Or, does the transfer take place automatically when the camera and iPod are connected?
TIA for any help.........

Hi Laurie,
After you plug in the camera adapter the iPod goes to an import screen where you select Import to copy the photos to the iPod. I believe the connector is the only way to have this work (a dock to usb cable won't do the trick).

Nokia photo transfer for Mac Yosemite OS

Hi,
It seems that Nokia Photo Transfer does not work in the Mac Yosemite OS – at least it does not find my Lumia 1020. Is there any chance of getting an update – or is there any other way to transfer photos speedily by a USB cable from Lumia to Mac?
Cheers,
Ilkka

@Ilkko Photo Transfer 1.2.31 works with my OS X v10.10.2 and my Lumia 1520 phone with Lumia Denim as firmware. I attached the Lumia before I started Photo Transfer. Then, Photo Transfer asked me to unlock the password protected screen. Do you face any error message? We need that word for word.
If you do not face any error message, please, enbale (tick) Photo Transfer » Menu » File » Enable Logs. Then, go for Finder » Menu » Utilities » Console (left hand side, All Messages). Anything specific there? You are able to copy and paste it here.
If nothing is displayed in OS X Console either, please, go for Menu » Apple » About this Mac » More Info » System Report » (Hardware) USB: Is your ‘Lumia 1020 (RM-87x)’ listed there? Via System Information » Menu » File » Refresh Information, you are able to detach and attach your device, while double-checking the displayed information.
If your phone is not shown in System Information, did it work before? Which operating system and version?
If your phone is shown in System Information, please, we have to go for the USB Prober. However, because I have not tested that app on Yosemite v10.10 my self either, please, answer the above questions. Then, I look into that path here in more detail and give you an explaination what to do.

Photo transfer from old desktop

I have a Apple desktop running OS X v.10.4.11 and I want to transfer my photos to my iPad. What is the best way to do this?

You can also try using an app from the app store like our app: "Photo Transfer App" which lets you transfer photos any computer (no matter what OS it runs) to your iPad over wifi. You need to install the app on your iPad and then use any web browser on your computer like Safari, Google Chrome, etc. to transfer your photos. Here is a bit more info:

I hope the app can be useful to you!

IPad2 photo transfer problem

I am trying to import pictures from an sd card to my iPad2. I have the SD card reader and have followed the instructions on my ipad but my ipad does not even respond to the fact there is an SD card available. What am I doing wrong?? I have also attached the camera to my iPad and it says that the devise uses too much power and will not do anything with it.

Has your camera got a setting on it to enable PTP (photo transfer protocol, some cameras call it Pictbridge) or Mass Storage Device ?
And for the SD card itself, how did the photos get onto it ? If you copied them to it from your computer then you need to create a DCIM directory off the root of the card, with the photos underneath it, and the photo filenames need to be exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension i.e. in a similar format as if a camera had created/written them.
If the photos on the card came directly from your camer then try a reset and see if the card is recognised after the iPad has restarted : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

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

Use the same Apple ID for everything.

No, you cannot transfer apps from one account to another iTunes account. Apps are DRM protected and forever tied to the account used to originally obtain them.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you in a location that has TV shows.

TS4425 when trying to access photo stream on Apple TV, I am getting the error message terms and conditions have changed, but when I go into iCloud on my Mac the new terms and conditions are not appearing - How can I manually agree to them ?
