Photos iTunes Apple tv issue - where are the photos?

Hi - We've  just installed Apple tv.  In iTunes, I went to File/Home Sharing/Choose Photos to share with Apple tv.  Followed the instructions, hit "Apply", and it appeared to work (I'd chosen an iPhoto Event with only 3 photos in it, and the window under "Home Sharing" now says 3Photos).  So all looks fine, except I have no idea where to find the photos in iTunes.  (I'd expected an icon would turn up under the iTunes Library list)
If anyone can help me out I'd really appreciate it - thanks!
Lynne

Oh gosh thanks so much, it never occurred to me to go to the Apple TV screen - this has much more to it than I'd imagined - I'd only heard that people watched things and played games etc that we have no interest in, and we only got it because I found out about the mirroring, and that I could use the tv as a 2nd monitor - which I'd love to do when in iPhoto and iMovie.  It appears to either store copies of the photos or keep the link intact...I'm wondering what its capacity is if it stores.
But - I'm not going to bother you or anybody else with more questions, until I've spent a lot more time on this myself.  For the moment, I'll use the mirroring - just once, to review my very old photos inherited from grandparents - when my cousins who did the initial research come over we can all look at them on the tv screen - I scanned them all, and they show SO much better than the real photos do - we'll be able to see them as we never have before. 
Then I'll give this Apple TV to our son and his family, and replace it when I have more time than I do at the moment to enjoy learning all about it. 
Thank you so much for your help -
Lynne

  • PowerPoint parsing into Captivate 8 issues - where are the Adobe personnel to get this right?

    In Captivate 5.5 I can import PowerPoint slides without any problems, BUT in Captivate 8 the parsing is TERRIBLE (even in high fidelity) leaving me with this result:
    I have checked the size of the PP page vs the size of the Captivate software simulation video. I have imported it into an existing capture, I have started a new PowerPoint project and I have imported it into a new Blank project. Nothing works! The parsing is still terrible.
    I have now read a number of Forum posts about problems with importing PP into Captivate 8 - NONE of which had answers.
    So my real question here is: where are the actual Adobe staff members to answer this question and FIX THE PROBLEM! I have a contract to make videos for a company and I will lose my contract if I cannot produce good quality work.
    This is NOT GOOD ENOUGH!!!!

    You are a star! Thank you so much for the link.... I will certainly write to them.
    And hopefully someone from Adobe management will see this and consider actually paying some of the generous users who contribute so much to this Forum, at least a stipend... Especially as Adobe is being paid good money for the software.
    The response that I had to problems with Articulate Storyline is outstandingly good. Yes, they do have a general forum which is quite helpful but when I need specific help, their support is excellent. Eg. At about 1am on New Year's day I had a query about transferring my program from one computer to another. Thinking I would only get an answer a few days later I was really surprised when five minutes later I received an email telling me exactly what to do and inviting me to online chat if I still had a hassle.
    I also belong to other Forums for various paid-for software that I use and although many of the people who answer in the space are just fellow users, their super-users (who are always around) are actual developers and are paid by the software provider to help the people who have bought their software.
    So why can't the mammoth Adobe do the same?
    Cheers

  • HT201272 I have always had and used the same Apple ID, so where are the rest of the songs I bought from itunes? I've bought at least 400 songs and I only am being able to download 178. Where are the rest of my purchases?!

    I have always had and used the same Apple ID. I have changed credit card information on my Apple ID account several times though. Does that make a difference when downloading past purchases? I'm very angry at Apple and Itunes because I have been using itunes since 05/2005 and I do not have even close to the amount of songs and albums that I have purchased from itunes. If the credit card info does make a difference even though the account is the same one then itunes needs to make sure to notify users of this because I am not the only one who is wondering this same thing. I have numerous friends who i've talked to about this and they say the same thing, that they too have songs purchased in the past that have disappeared when trying to download past purchased items. It should not make a difference. $12 is $12. Especially since I have ALWAYS used the same account. If itunes does not change their ways, I will not be purchasing songs or anything else for that matter from them ever again. I will go back to buying CDs where I KNOW that it will always be with me and I don't have to deal with this. I will also make sure to find a better more reliable source to download music from and will make sure everyone I know and come in contact with knows what it is and how much better it is than itunes. There should be no experation date on the music I PURCHASE, nor should there be any other little loop holes that allow itunes to rob us of rightfully purchased products. What's the deal itunes??

    So I basically won't run into any trouble? I
    There should be no issues. Its designed to work like that.  You don't change Apple IDs just because you get a new device.

    Is there any chance that the phones can fall out of sync?
    Unlikely. But nothing is impossible.   Though I don;t see how that would happen. As long as both are signed into the Same Apple ID / iCloud Account they will be N'Sync. (Bad Joke)

    If I get a message or buy an app or take a photo on the iPhone 5, how do I get those things onto the iPhone 6?
    If you buy an App, you have 2 ways to get it to the iPhone6: If Automatic Downloads is enabled in Settings->iTunes & App Store, it will automatically download to the iPhone 6 when you buy it on the 5 and vice versa if you buy it on the 6, it will download to the 5.
    Alternatively, you can simply go to the App Store App->Updates->Purchased and look for the App there and download it. Purchased Apps will not require payment again. i.e They'll be free to download to the iPhone 6 once purchased.
    SMS Messages will sync over using Continuity as long as they are on the same Wifi network. Otherwise, restoring the iPhone 5 backup to the iPhone 6 will transfer all messages received up until the backup was made onto the iPhone 6.
    Images, can be transferred either through Photo Stream
    My Photo Stream FAQ - Apple Support
    Or any Cloud service you want such as Dropbox, or One Drive.

    Also, something i forgot to ask initially: Should I update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8 first or does that not matter?
    If you want the Continuity features as explained above you need to update the iPhone 5 to iOS 8. Otherwise its not all that important.

  • With iTunes,12.01.26,where are the devices?

    Now that we don't have the old sidebar, when I click on playlist, everything shows,
    but my iPhone 6 nor my iPad do not show.  These both sync over wifi, they use
    to show up under devices and I could make what ever change I wanted.
    They show up if I plug them in, I am not sure where to look
    thanks
    Mike

    I've updated one of my devices to iOS8.1. Not syncing over wifi yet. Sent feedback to Apple.
    As for the layout (@stressed mum and tdoyle10)...You have you're sidebar. Just click on playlists. It's functionality is limited to playlists and content for your iDevices. The rest has been moved to the white bar. This way your playlists are always next to the library-content and managing playlists is easier.
    Just play with the program for a while. It takes a little getting used to, but it grows on you. In a few weeks you have forgotten it used to be any different.
    (except for the ugly red icon, I won't get used to that)

  • HT201317 where are the photo's in icloud?

    I am in my icloud on a pc
    signed in etc.
    Where are the photo's that are supposed to be in icloud

    You can't view photo stream photos on icloud.com.  They can only be viewed on an iOS device or computer that is signed into your account with photo stream enabled.  To set this up on your PC, see http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/pc.html.  Note: when you first enable photo stream on your PC you will only get photos from the last 30 days as older photos are no longer in iCloud.

  • HT1657 Where are the rented movies on iTunes located....I see it on my phone, but can not locate the movie on any other computer.  Thank you!

    Where are the rented movies on itunes located?  I see them on my iphone, but I am unable to locate them in my itunes, even via searching the name.  Thank you!

    You cannot.

  • Where are the "receipts" of the photos that I email from iPhoto?  I have no record that I can find of these.

    Where are the receipts of the photos that I email from Iphoto.  I can't find a record of those that I have sent.

    I am not using it in a "professional manner".  Even I need to know who I sent that particular photo to and when and by the way, who are you to define what Apple meant by the design of its software?  I think you overstep yourself here.  I also think Apple has made every effort to lead people to believe that it serves a dual purpose as a personal as well as business tool.  I don't need sarcasm from you or anyone when I am trying to learn that which is hidden (or absent) in the software.  Being professional does not necessarily mean for a "business", but rather the level of sophistication and usefulness in the product. 

  • Hi there, I pay for extra iCloud space online. However I cannot seem to find any of my photos or account? As my iPod/iPhone only hold 1000 pictures, where are the previous pictures? And how can I access them?

  • Where are the local radio playlists/charts in the new iTunes 7.0.1.8?

    Q: Where are the local radio playlists/charts in the new iTunes 7.0.1.8? I like to see what the local radio stations and surrounding markets are playing. I used this feature all the time in iTunes 6.
    A. I just found the answer, but I'll post this anyway. The "Radio" link was moved from the iTunes store home page. From the iTunes Store homepage you have to click on "Music" in the "iTunes Store" box. Then, go to the "More In Music" box and click on "Radio."

  • Why have all my previous "My Ratings" (stars) have been removed and Smart Albums(i.e. 5 star rating in past year) virtually destroyed in the update to the new Photos program?  Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?

    Upon updating to the new Photos program, all the previous "My Ratings" (1-5 stars) for photos have been removed. Why?  My "Smart Albums" using the "My Ratings", i.e. photos with a 5 star rating within the past year, have been virtually destroyed in the update.  The updates "modified" Smart
    Album deleted the "My Ratings" parameter, retained the Date parameter so now Smart Album includes every photo within the date range parameter.  Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?  It appears they have been removed.  If so, why ?

    Photos doesn't have true star ratings.
    However, when photos are migrated from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos, they will have keywords assigned, like "1 star" or "5 stars". You can create smart albums based on these keywords.
    You can also assign keyboard shortcuts so if you're in the keyword pane and type 1, it will assign the "1 star" keyword.

  • Where are the files that camera profiles install?

    I have downloaded from this link: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/DNG_Profiles
    DNG profile editor 1.0 beta 2 and camera profiles beta 2.
    After installation of these camera profile on PC where are the files?
    I have searched but I don't find these!
    Please help me.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    Your music and movies should still be part of the iTunes library on your computer. See if your movies are listed in "movies" in the left window in iTunes.
    Photos you took with the phone are part of the last backup, if you did not sync after that. If you did, the data got overwritten.
    See what else is inside the backup and how to restore from it here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • IOS7 mail search results appear to be random by date also where are the search parameters, from to etc..? help!

    Mail search returns results by random date. Where are the mail search parameters, from,to,etc?

    This is really annoying. Mail search on iOS 7 never worked, either on iPhone
    4S or on iPad.
    Search results are not sorted in any perceivable order. I get totally random results, with messages dating 4 years back jumping to yesterday and so on.
    I have never seen Apple to respond to this issue with earnest feedback, and users are often dismissed.
    I used to have to resort to my Macbook Pro to get decent results, but due to the many mail app problems on OSX, I do not rely on it anymore.
    Can Apple please give feedback to this search issue on the IOS devices? It is really, REALLY crippling.
