Photos omitted from album in home sharing

When I select a photo album for home sharing, only a few of the many photos in those albums are included. Any ideas why and how to fix it? Thanks

Found it.. You first need to 'Show Menu Bar'.
Then 'File' -> 'Home Sharing' and the 'Choose Photos to share with Apple TV' option appears

Choosing photo libraries to add to home sharing just clocks.

I have enabled home sharing and can access music and Video's through my Apple TV off my Mac. I am trying to add photo libraries with the "File-Home Sharing-Chooose dialog but it just clocks.. I left if for a day with no result. I have a large photo library 66,000. Running Mavericks with all the updates and and iTunes with all the updates,
Previously this worked but I turned off home sharing and now can't get photos back to share,
Anybody have any ideas??
Thanks

Photos disappear from Album and Photo webpages in iWeb after publishing.

I just installed iWeb 9. I made some great new photos albums and blogs and published. After 4 unsuccessful attempts and publishing errors, I finally got the new web pages published. When I go back into iWeb, the photos on the album page are gone. All the photos from the photos page are also gone! The Albums page, which had 10+ albums now has 1 space that says, "Drag album here."
The website shows the photos as I would expect. I thought this was a fluke, and started from scratch, recreated the pages, made sure my iWeb patches were up to date... Same thing... No photos in iWeb.
The Blog doesn't seem to have this problem. Only the Albums and Photos webpages.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and try again.

How to hide kids albums with home sharing on

I have 3 teenage kids and have home sharing turned on. How do I hide their albums in my iTunes and on my iPhone/iPad?

Your best bet is to clone both devices onto two separate drives, or together onto a larger external hard drive that can cover the capacity of both with its own separate partitions. http://www.bombich.com/ Carbon Copy Cloner is able to do that for you. Test your clone boots and is mapped correctly before erasing the drive in question.

Photos Missing From Album

I upgraded to 10.10.3 and when opening the photos app, all of my albums successfully migrated. The only issue is that my IPhoto albums were sorted by name and that sort didn't follow. I unchecked the sort by date and it put most of them in the right place and I manually sorted the rest. I shut down the program and came back to it a few hours later. There are now photos missing from the album. I can't figure out what happened. I looked in the recently deleted photos and they are not there. I have them backed up both in IPhoto and in a separate folder, but before I bring them back in I need to know what happened. Anybody have any ideas???

I agree it would be helpful to know what happened, but I suspect we won't find out.

Photos deletes from albums when deleting from photo stream.

I just updated to the new Photos App. If I take a picture with my iPhone, it appears on the photo stream on my Mac, of course. However, if I move the photo to an album, and then try to delete the photo from my photo stream, Photos also deletes the photo from the album! This happens even if I place the photo in a Smart Album. I tried following the Apple instructions given. They said to click on a photo I wanted to keep on my computer, and then click on the "share" option, Then I would be given the option to save the file to my computer. However, I am not given that option at all. I am only given the option to save it to iCloud or some other cloud-based place. I only want to save it on my computer, not on iCloud. I have iCloud turned off, but photo stream turned on. Right now, the only way to keep pictures in albums is to go to the "recently deleted" file and "recover" them. This seems absurd to me. There has got to be a better way. Is anyone else having this same problem?
This also happens with any other photos from my computer that I manually place into Photos. They get dumped into the Photo Stream, the no-man's land where they are temporarily there but not really there. And I cannot move them out of this temporary holding place without going through the above process of deleting them from photo stream and everywhere else and then recovering them. Help!

There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I selected some photos on my PC for home sharing but they don't appear under Photos on my iPad. What am I doing wrong?

Problem sharing Photos between Windows PC and iPad2.

The home network has to be working, there are settings on the iPad for the network sharing over your home network.
If your trying to move files this way, I'm not sure you can actually move them but you should be able too "SEE" them from the iPad.
Someone will be along to clarify that some more for you, good luck.

Photos Not Syncing; Photos Missing From Albums, No Error Message, Running iTunes for Windows & iOS 7.1.2

I am having an issue with syncing my photos on my iOS devices running iOS 7.1.2, the two being an iPhone 4s and iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G.
When I sync photos, I keep on having photos turn up missing from entire albums. I have tried everything I can to resolve this issue from the support article titled <a href="http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3697">iTunes: Unable to sync photos</a>, and nothing has successfully worked in any kind of permanent form. I have even gone so far as to sync albums individually with a limit of around 400-500 total photos per sync, (give or take), and tried using what very little options I have on the photos tab for my devices in iTunes to essentially trick the devices to sync the missing photos. Despite this, iTunes still fails to sync newly added photos from the source location.
I have even made the attempt of re-installing iOS 7 on both devices, and restoring from backup. Again with no avail.
My best guess for my iPhone is that as it is a 16 GB, not all of 15.6 GB of photos will sync to the device, (go figure), but that doesn't explain why recent photos aren't added OR why my iPad 2 of 64 GB has missing photos.
As of this post, I have an estimated 38,940 files, spread across 1,703 folders, (a large amount of folders being in some of the folders; from my knowledge never being more than two folders in). They are all in one dedicated folder on a hard drive I've dedicated to iTunes and music related files, (for the sake of AVOIDING this kind of nonsense, I might add).
As for the system OS and iTunes, I am running Windows 7 64 bit, and I am using iTunes 11.2.2.3, but will have updated to iTunes 11.3 by the time anyone responds.

I have the exact same problem.
Same kind of photos/videos taken with the same camera randomly sync.
Did 11.3 fix this issue?
Sincerely

No photo sync from Vista 64 Home

I just moved my PC from an old, creaking XP system to a new Vista-64 Home system (no choice, unfortunately, if I wanted to upgrade). iTunes (all versions up to 8.1.1.10) synced flawlessly and automatically with my AppleTV on XP. After days of trying to sync with iTunes 8.1.1.10 on the Vista machine, I finally reset the AppleTV and it showed up on Vista iTunes. But the "syncing" message showed up forever with nothing transferring. Tried it again and voila! all my music and movies transferred ... but the photos did not. Tried again, same result. When I try to sync photos it just goes into an infinite "syncing" message loop and nothing actually downloads. I have sync photos selected and the correct directory chosen (and I have verified that the directory is filled with photos). The result is the same with ATV S/W vsns. 1.0 and 2.3.1. Space is not an issue ... there are 126GB free on the ATV. Any ideas on how to get the photos downloaded?

OK this should NOT be this hard. I too am having difficulties with Photo sync. I get the eternal loop of syncing and it does not ever get to the point hwere it copies the photos. IU have seen similar issues from other users but no detail of how to fully resolve this and this lead seemed to disappear with no follow up to any resolutions.
I have installed the 64 bit version of itunes after accidently installing the 32 bit version. I did remove the 32 bit and then install the 64 bit.
I found detail on moving the photos to a public folder which I also did. This has not solved the issue.
The only other piece of information I saw was on removing the ipod photo cache file in the parent directory of photos however I could not fin this file (unless it is hidden of course).
So I am a very frustrated new vista user who has spent the last 24 hours trying to find a fix for this.
Perhaps I should have gone mac

How to create photo book from Album without cropping

I just came from vocation and try to make a cool photo book out of my "best pictures" selection. Most images are "as is" from camera, so have "standard" aspect ratio: H/W.
I also happy about composition and would like to keep all or most of it.
I tried several "cool" templates, but can not get results I want: iPhoto randomly place my images on random template, but the painful issue is that it is also randomly crops my images to fit these random layout. It probably try to make it look "cool", but it does not make any sense and does not look cool.
I can do it all manually and select template for every page, also, changing mask for every image (for some minimum of mask still crops more then half of image, so page layout have to be changed). I have about 200 pictures I picked for album and I am not happy about doing it 200 times.
It may work for me if iPhoto just flow images without cropping for fit? Extra bonus would be if I can select images I want "big", "medium" or "small"
Can iPhoto automatically create a simple PhotoBook for printing without killing most images with random and some times more than 50% cropping?

Canon S90 - it is Advanced P&S. When I say crop I does not mean a little bit on sides I mean iPhoto 11 some times crop 50% of image, some times try to zoom on faces. At any rate, most images just rendered useless. Say you have normal landscape picture of person holding some thing in his hands. iPhoto made super wide strip out of it to fit in 1+2 kind of layout, so what you see is upper half with face, object in hands completely out and you can not change mask as at minimal settings it is still cuts more than half of image out.
I tried many Themes, but I can not find one that would not destroy my images, that are very typical, hobbits images, with margin usually big enough for small fit crop, but as it is my trip record I would like to keep (naturally, no?) all details in.
Zoom of face may be cool, but when the rest of image lost, what the point?
I can go one by one, but this is time consuming for 200 images. It just make sense to have "preserve image" settings or "simple" photo book template some where... but I can no find it: all settings in iPhoto are kept to minimum , Apple style

Why are most photos disappearing from albums in iWeb?

I'm having a problem with the photo albums on iWeb.
I drag a photo album from my iPhoto window in iWeb to the photo album web page and it becomes an album with slideshow capabilities. If I publish the site, everything appears fine. I save iWeb and exit.
Now if I open iWeb again, all three of the photo album pages still exist, but on each page, only four of the original photos remain. The albums are supposed to have 29 photos, 35 photos, and 46 photos total. Now they each show four.
I thought it was a fluke, so I added them all again including captions. Then I saved, closed and reopened iWeb. The photos in the web albums were gone again.
I'm using iLife '09 with the iPhoto that exists on my laptop, but all the source photos are located on a Mac Mini in my local network. Any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it?
Note that the complete album as uploaded to the actual website still exists and works great. But if I publish the changes, the album will disappear.
Thanks.

Look under "More like this" on the right of this page, specifically "Re: no photo selected"; the discussion there may be of help.

Photos disappeared from albums another problem with my iPad!

Some of the albums in my iPad photo section have, for no reason I can understand, become empty of photographs they held. I've spent a lot of time downloading these photographs and I'm desperate to get them back. Can anyone help me with this please?

so there is no button on the setting to enable or disable the 3g internet connectivity??
That is what I said.

Prevent Apple TV from playing explicit music via Home Sharing

Hi. I have Home Sharing enabled on my Mac and on my Apple TV. Through the "Computers" icon on the Apple TV, I can watch all my Movies, TV Shows and listen to all my music.
I have now bought a second Apple TV for my son for his birthday. He is only 12, so I have enabled Parental Controls. With this, he cannot view any movie rated higher than 12, and the same goes for TV shows. However, he can still hear my explicit music. The music is tagged as Explicit in iTunes, and I have set the "Explicit Music" parental control option to "Ask", but he can still play it without being challenged.
How can I let him hear the clean music, but not the explicit music on his Apple TV?

UPDATE
I went in to iPhoto and created a new album -- called "TV Screen Saver" and copied the photos from the old album that would not load.
Told iTunes to use that album for home sharing.
Told Apple TV to use that album for the screen saver.
Et Voila!
Must have been something in the various updated softwares that disn't like something from before.
Who knows.
