Photostream incomplete in appleTV

I installed the latest update for appleTV.  I also installe IOS 5.1 on my iPhone.  This version of iOS allows me to delete photos from my photostream. So I deleted a few photos that I didn't want in the photostream.  After deleting a few photos, I turned on the appleTV and looked at my photostream, All the photos are still there.  So I logged out of the appleTV photostream and logged back in.  It showed my photostream empty and started downloading the images.  However it only downloaded 7 images.  I have over 200 images in the Photostream according to my iPhone.
So two bugs observed:
1)  Deleting photos from the iPhone Photostream does not delete it from all other devices.
2)  Logging out of Photostream from appleTV and logging back in will only download a few images from the photostream.  Not all images show up.
Anyone else observe this?  And figure out how to get all the photos from photostream to show up on the appleTV?

Here's what I discovered after I experienced the same problem, i.e., could only see a limited number of photos in my photostream on my AppleTV. You need to go to your computer and open iPhoto. You will notice that your most recent photostream photos are the only ones included under the Photo Stream button. If you want to see more of your photos on AppleTV you need to move them from wherever they are located (for example, Last 12 Months) to Photo Stream. You cannot do this from your iPhone; you must enter iPhoto on your computer. I don't think you can fix this if you don't have Lion on your computer, but I could be wrong.
As for signing out of Photo Stream on Apple TV, you can do this on the Photo Stream page. The sign out is written in very small letters right above your photos.

  • Restore photostream pictures from AppleTV to MacBookPro?

    I had to rebuild my macbook pro this weekend.  There are pictures that i have uploaded to a PhotoStream that I can see on my AppleTV.  However, they are older than 30 days.  So when i started up iPhoto on the mac, those pictures are not showing up in the PhotoStream---but i would like to have copies of them back!  Is it possible to restore those photostream pictures from my AppleTV onto my Mac?

    You cannot selectively restore some of the iCloud content and not other content. When you restore it is all or nothing and when you do restore any data you created since the backup was made will be lost.  The iCloud backup contains camera roll photos.

  • Photostream incomplete to iphone 5

    Just got my iphone 5. Photos in iphone 4 Photostream backed up by icloud did not fully transferred to new iphone 5. Can someone help?

    Photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days.  After that they are deleted from your photo stream but not from any devices that already have the photos in their photo stream album.  That's why your 3GS and your computer still have all 267 photos but your new phone only received 44; the others are no longer there to receive.  If they are on your PC, you should be able to put the missing photos in a folder and sync them to your new phone by selecting the folder on the Photos tab of your iTunes sync settings and syncing.  If you really want them back in your photo stream, you can use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them from your computer to your iPhone 5 camera roll.  Once there, they will be seen as new photos and added to your photo stream.

  • How do I move photos from AppleTV to my MacBook Pro?

    My house was recently broken into and everything taken except the Apple TV.
    I have replaced my MacBook Pro but many photos were lost. The photos remain on my AppleTV as a screensaver however I am not sure the best way to take them back off the AppleTV and am cautious of losing them.
    A friend has sugested they should be available through Photostream.
    The AppleTV is a generation 2 (black) so I don't think it has storage.
    Any ideas would be great??
    Thanks!

    Sorry to hear of your situation. If you had photo stream previously setup they may be available once you enable it through iPhoto on your new computer (or via an IOS device).
    Keep in mind the photo stream stores up to 1,000 photos for the past 30 days so if they are older that is probably not an option.
    The ATV caches photos tempoarily for the screensaver but the flash drive is not accessible and they can be easily flushed.

  • TS4425 And what do I do if I run 10.6.8 and iOS4? Do I need to borrow another machine just to accept conditions?

    And what do I do if I run 10.6.8 and iOS4? Do I need to borrow another machine just to accept conditions?

    To run photostream on an AppleTV you need to sign up to their new terms and conditions but you can't do this from the Apple TV, you also can't do it from 10.6.8 or iOS4. So I need a machine running a later OS. Hence my comment about borrowing another machine . Once signed up it seems photostream will work with my iCloud account to which my older OS systems still seem to be able to access. I think I am in the right forum.

  • Incomplete photostream on AppleTV

    I recently noticed that new photostream pictures weren't loading to my AppleTV photostream. I read some threads about this problem and as they suggested, I signed out of my photostream account and logged back in. When I did, the new pictures came up on the AppleTV -- 35 of them -- but the rest of my pictures (there are about 900 showing up in photostream on both my computer and my phone) did not. How do I get these pictures back? I did a full factory reset, but it's still just the 35 pictures showing (they go back a few weeks). Some threads have suggested this is a bug with the most recent AppleTV update. Is that confirmed? Has anyone figured this one out?

    Bumping -- anyone? I miss seeing so many family pictures!

  • Duplicates in Shared Photostream in iOS Photos, Mac OS X iPhoto, AppleTV, but not iCloud Web

    Just started using the shared Photostream feature today, and we noticed that the first shared Photostream we tried duplicated all the photos that were shared if viewed from iPhoto or AppleTV. The web site for the shared Photostream does have exactly the right pictures with no duplicates.
    All versions of the software mentioned are the latest.
    Background: I did have to turn on Photostream for iPhoto for the user, and the user had never used iPhoto Photostream before. We might have tried sharing once, then cancelled to get a better list of email addresses before sending out the invitation, but we didn't hit OK, only Cancel.

    You know you're not talking to Apple here, right? Only other users, just like you.
    iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback is the route to Apple.

  • Photostream on appletv not loading

    I can't seem to get any photos from my icloud to show on my apple tv. They appear on my ipad and icloud.com but zero on my appletv. I've updated the software, logged out and back in, ensured photostream is on amd restarted appletv a few times. Nothing works. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

  • Why does photostream play from beginning to end on iphone and ipad, but from end to beginning on appletv?

    I created a photo stream of my daughter from birth to 12 months which plays in the correct order on my ipad and iphone and anyone elses devices. When i play it on Apple TV they always play in reverse. I know it can also show the pictures randomly, but the point of doing it was to let relatives in other parts of the world see her as she grows! I cannot find any settings to alter this. I would be grateful for any advice on how to change this. Thanks

    I agree this is a really dumb change and I really hope Apple changes it back to the way it was.
    In iOS 6 and earlier when you were in the Music player and selected ARTIST it would show a list sorted by artist. When you selected the artist you wanted, it would show a list of their albums.  Then you could select the album and see the list of songs.  In iOS 7 after you select Artist, it displays the album and every track, so you have to scroll down through not only the album but every track on that album.   That was a really stupid change on Apple's part.  Makes no sense.
    Here is the list of albums under iOS 6.x...
    and here is what is looks like under iOS 7.0
    In iOS 7.0 you have to scroll down through all the songs to see the other albums.  That can be a really pain if you have a large music collection.
    Please Apple change it back to the way it was!!  This didn't need to change!

  • Some videos not showing up on AppleTV from iMac's iTunes library

    Having a strange problem. Not sure if it is an iTunes problem or an AppleTV problem but I will try here first.
    I have several videos in my library, some of which are digitized home videos I edited/rendered, others are AppleTV converted DVD's I own. For some reason, many of them are not showing up on my AppleTV when I go into "Computers" off the main menu and select my iMac with the iTunes library of them. Some show up, but more and more do not. They are all properly formatted and done so using Compressor settings for AppleTV. No idea why some are not showing up.
    If you look on the iMac with the library on it, they all show up fine. And if I try and play the video on my iMac but tell it to use AirPlay to play the video on the AppleTV, it plays just fine on the TV/AppleTV. I do have Home Sharing turned on for ALL my media and I also use iTunes Match service.
    When I try and use my iPad to access videos under the "shared" option and select my iMac's iTunes library, I get the same incomplete list. So I am thinking it's the iTunes library that's sending out an incomplete list for some reason. No idea why.
    I have tried drag-and-dropping the videos into the iTunes library as well as using the "Add to library" menu command, neither makes a difference.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Also - i had a similar issue - lots of movies in itunes - not showing up as selectable on apple tv - i found that you have to go to "list" in itunes and select any movies i wanted to be selectable when i switched to the apple tv device - can someone please create a word for - "my software changes and somehow i'm an idiot for not knowing what magic the programmers are throwing down" - this too will change in the future - just need the happy customer service types to maintain a voice with the programmers and bottom line guys and gals.

  • I just installed iLife on my new Imac version 10.8.2 and now I can't open my iPhoto app.  It says that I Photo is damaged or incomplete.  What do I do to restore my iPhoto and pictures!

    I just installed iLife on my new iMac 10.8.2 version and now I can't open my iPhoto app.  It says it is damaged or incomplete.  What can I do to get it back along with all of my picutures?  I was told by an Apple employee at my one to one training that it was OK to install iLife to get the iDVD that I wanted. Help!

    I have installed iLife a few times and because of photostream, the version on the disc must be updated.  Software update usually takes care of it.  It sounds like you installed an old version over a new version.  I've not tried that.
    You have a late 2012 machine, if you open the Mac app store from the dock, you should be able to go to the purchased tab and download/install the right version of iphoto.  Honestly, you should not have used that disc on this new of mac or at least only installed iDVD & iWeb but not garageband, iphoto, and iMovie.
    If the Mac App Store shows iphoto as installed already, drag the app from your applications folder to the trash and reinstall it again from the Mac App Store.  That is the version you need.  You may find garageband and imovie have similar problems.
    good luck.
    PS.  your photos are in your photo folder in your home folder.  don't touch those, I'm talking about the app "iphoto" in the applications folder.

  • HT3819 Home Share issue: I have a Mac and Apple TV. Both are log into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view purchased movies on AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers. Itunes sidebar-no

    Has anyone else found solution to Apple devices not 'seeing' each other on Home Share?  I have a Macbook Air (new Nov'12) and Apple TV (new Dec'12). Software updated on both. Both are logged into the same Wifi network and the same iTunes account (I can view movies purchased from iTunes on my AppleTV). Home Sharing shows 'ON' for both devices. BUT...AppleTV shows no computers... and ... Itunes sidebar does not have a 'Shared' area at all.  Help please as without this functionality, my Apple TV only provides portal to purchased (i.e. Netflix,...) content which I can get from Wii or Xbox.
    I have already tried the following without success:
    1. Homeshare DID work the first day after I setup Apple TV... but the next day it has not worked since then.
    2. Powered off 30 sec then re-started (Apple TV & Macbook & iTunes login)
    3. Checked Firewall settings per Home Sharing troubleshooting guide (correct settings)
    4. Turning on Photostream in iPhoto and selecting iPhoto within iTunes and then checking to see if Photostream shows anything on AppleTV (it shows 'on' for my iTunes account but 'Zero' pictures found ... despite the >3,000 pictures showing avail in iTunes).
    I also have 'Remote" app on my iPhone 4, with Home Sharing turned on (same Wifi network)... it has a very similar message as the Apple TV and same result that despite all devices having HomeShare 'on' they cannot see each other:  "Remote will automatically find the iTunes libraries and Apple TVs that have Home Sharing turned on using the account xxxx (it lists my correct itunes account name)."

    I solved this by reset of the Wifi (unplug cable and power to both modem and wifi ... wait 60 sec ... plug in modem cable and power ... plug in wifi power and LAN to modem ... restart AppleTV and Mac ... Turn Home Share 'OFF' in iTunes then back "ON" ... it took ~60 sec for the AppleTV to pick up my Mac in computers.

  • PhotoStream: Multiple Devices and Performance Issues

    Had a bad night last night with PhotoStream. I have an iPhone 4S (AT&T), my wife has an iPhone 4 (VZW), we have an iPad 1 (Wi-Fi), Apple TV 2 (Ethernet), and a 2011 Mac Mini (Wi-Fi)... all in the same house that has a Time Capsule and is connected to AT&T DSL service, 3.0Mbps service (average speed test results are 2.65Mbps down, 315kbps up). Oh yeah, there's a micro-cell in there too but anytime there's trouble that gets shut off first so its irrelevant for this discussion.
    So yesterday was Halloween and we both took alot of photos away from the house with the iPhones. Got home, started using the internet, noticed the performance was HORRIBLE. Speed test showed over 1,000 ms ping latency (I still can't believe I actually waited for it to finish the ping test) and nothing was getting through for the download / upload test. I have never (believe it or not) with AT&T DSL seen it get this bad. Its been bad before, don't get me wrong, but this was surprising even to me.
    How did I come to the conclusion that PhotoStream was my issue you may ask? Well, its sort of a long story, but bear with me... The other day, we started having trouble with the Apple TV 2, which for the most part is pretty solid. My wife was streaming Netflix movies and it was stopping every 30 seconds. It was looking at this issue that had me first raise suspicions about PhotoStream. Just days before this problem started, I had enabled PhotoStream on the Apple TV 2. SO I did the first most logical thing anyone could do, I took a step back and disabled it. Problem solved. Thought nothing of it, yeah I was a little discouraged that I couldn't use it on the Apple TV 2, but not a big deal, my favorite part of PhotoStream is using it to get the photos into iPhoto without having to plug the iPhones in so I said to myself "I'll just keep putting the photos into Events and Albums until they work out the kinks on the AppleTV 2" thinking perhaps the Apple TV 2 needs to not update PhotoStream while videos are being played. They can fix that at some point, right? Sure they can.
    Now, back to this other issue. My bandwidth last night was completely crapped out, and I was determined to prestige on Black Ops one last time so this had to change STAT! I mean, come on! I was at Level 47 and I was ready to GO! My internet connection just wasn't having it. I powered off the router, rebooted the modem, and powered on the rotuer again. Everything came up beautifully. I jumped into some Nuketown 24/7, 4 green bars next to my name and I was happy. After we lost Bravo, which on Nuketown takes about a minute and a half if both teams are fighting over it, I'm lagging like crazy and I have that little red bar that no one likes to see next to my name. Sure enough, speedtest results are all whacked out again.
    So I'm sitting there thinking to myself, what could this be? My wife was watching cable TV, my son was asleep... essentially the Xbox 360 was the only thing trying to use the internet... I thought... until I remembered our iPhones and the photos we had just taken and all the devices that would be simultaneously trying to update PhotoStream. Let's list them again, shall we?
    iPhone 4S - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
    iPhone 4 - Upload to Stream and Download from Stream
    iPad 1 - Download from Stream
    Mac Mini - Download from Stream
    So how can I prove this crazy theory of mine that the great and wonderful PhotoStream was choking my internet connection? Simple.
    iPhone 4S - PhotoStream OFF
    iPhone 4 - PhotoStream OFF
    iPad 1 - PhotoStream OFF
    Mac Mini - PhotoStream OFF
    Speed test results immediately after doing this?
    2.73Mbps down / .31Mbps up with 26ms ping time (used the Speedtest.NET app on the 4S).
    Sadly, this means that for now, I cannot use PhotoStream, however I did manage to Prestige on Black Ops which made me happy, and the iPhone 4S can still be plugged into the Mac Mini to download my wonderful looking photos.
    That's right, I didn't throw away the charger cables just yet and if you want to start talking about iTunes Wireless Synching with multiple devices in the same house, I can gladly take up some more of your time. Thats right, its OFF as well!

    I just wanted to report that this is still an open and particularly nefarious bug.  I've got a fairly idealized Apple household with 2 iPhone 4's, a 'new' iPad, a 13" Macbook Pro, Airport Express and our most recent addition this weekend... an Apple TV. 
    While I had no particular interest in enabling Photo Stream, I turned it on while messing with the screen saver settings and didn't think anything about it.  As I began to play with my new toy I was immediately disappointed with all the long spinners and timeouts in Netflix.  Later that day I noticed my computer and iPad were having similar connection issues.  My first thought was 'oh, Comcast must be acting up, that's why my new Apple TV isn't working so well'.
    Fast forward 3 days to today and our network issues were still occuring and I decided I needed to figure out what was going on.  After mucking around in network settings for a couple hours I half-jokingly decided to disconnect the AppleTV on the whim that the issues started at the same time I hooked it up.  Sure enough my network issues disappeared.  I even went so far as to run continuous pings to various IP's outside my home network and watch the timeouts come & go as i plugged/unplugged my ATV.  Now knowing the ATV was the problem I set out to figure out what in particular was causing it.  As soon as I signed out of Photo Stream everything was working perfect again.  Netflix on the ATV is quick & responsive, no more spinners or timeouts.  My other devices aren't plagued with random disconnects, dns failures or slow downloads.
    Long story short, something is bugged in AppleTV's Photo Stream support.  Mine didn't appear to be downloading any new photos, it had stopped with 255 photos downloaded.  Not sure if that was all I had in iCloud or maybe AppleTV can only pull down 255 max?  Maybe 255 is the magic number where it hits the bug that causes this behavior?  Either way, it appeared to be only affecting the outgoing internet connection, when I had a continous ping going to another machine on my internal LAN it didn't appear to get affected.
    Hope this helps someone at Apple track down the bug.  While someone technical can probably troubleshoot these issues I could see someone like my mom never putting the 2 + 2 together that her internet problems started around the time she enabled Photo Stream on her AppleTV and instead blaming it on 'the internet acting up again' and of course calling me months later to look into it for her.

  • Some photostream images getting cropped on ipad, but not mac?

    Not sure where to post this since it involves photostream behavior on Mac vs iPad?  So my apologies if this is misplaced.
    Recently some images that were imported into iPhoto on my Mac, and are automatically sent to Photostream, become cropped in photostream, or at least they appear to be cropped on both an iPad and on AppleTV 2nd gen, but look fine when viewing photostream on the Mac.  What's weird is the pic is cropped on the iPad, but it is the same size (pixels) as is indicated on the Mac of the original (1,488 x 1,011).  By "cropped" I mean that only a portion of the photo is visible (just wanted to clear that up since the pixel count seems to be the same, so not the conventional form of cropping).  Several pics behave this way, and they all seem to be ones that started life as scanned images of old prints, although not ALL of the scanned pics behave this way... only a few.

    What resolution are My Photo Stream photos?
    On your Mac or PC, your photos are downloaded and stored in full resolution. On your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple TV, your Photo Stream photos are delivered in a device-optimized resolution that speeds downloads and saves storage space. While actual dimensions will vary, an optimized version of a photo taken by a standard point-and-shoot camera will have a 2048 x 1536 pixel resolution when pushed to your devices. Panoramic photos can be up to 50 pixels wide.
    Seems like it may be some bug with the 'optimization' process for the iPad / AppleTV?  Has anyone seen this before?
    Macbook Pro mid 2009, OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2
    iPad 3
    AppleTV 2nd gen.

    No need to do a screen capture.  The cropped image in photostream on the iPad can be exported to the mac.  I ran some samples tonight. Pardon the content of the pic - it is a greeting card... no one i know.
    Scanned B&W and Color, in 3 resolutions:  150, 300, 600 dpi.
    I now see that the limits in attaching pics here is pretty restrictive, so i've put them into a smugmug album:
    http://daveyeager.smugmug.com/Other/Apple-photostream-bug/27709278_6Lrgjwhttp://
    note that the 150 and to a lesser extent, 300 dpi B&W scans are cropped (filenames are at the bottom of the image in the center), but all color scans look correct.
    The process was...
    scan on a Canon MX892 printer/scanner using Mac Image Capture in Mountain Lion,
    import the files into iPhoto on the Mac,
    put into photostream from iPhoto,
    go to the iPad and export them from iPhoto / photostream as files to iTunes,
    attach iPad to Mac to transfer the files to the Mac,
    upload to Smugmug.  (sounds worse than it is)
