Share photos with Apple TV

Trying to share some photos from the new Photos OS X app through my Apple TV (3rd gen). With iPhotos, I used to just use the photo stream, but now Photo Stream is no longer available with Photos (at least I can't find it if it does exist).
I can select a "shared album", but I would like to create a shared album, just for the Apple TV and no one else. Currently to create a shared album, you need to share it with "someone" in contacts, or am I missing something fundemental?
Help would be appreciated
THX

I was able to finally get photos shared to my Apple TV (3rd gen) by creating a shared album and leaving the invite box open. All I did was name the album and then click Create. Photos then creates a little cloud called "Activity" and a folder called "Photos" in the sidebar under "Shared" that shows the photos you have added.
Now the odd thing is that I added about 50 photos to that album....and now it's up to 272 photos! I have not added more, it's growing on it's own!?! Not sure what it's doing really, but it's getting bigger as I type! It's now over 300! It's....IT'S ALIVE!!!!
But I still don't see Photos in iTunes to be shared via Home Sharing. Am I doing something wrong?
Create a shared album
Select the photos and video clips you want to share.
Click the Share button in the toolbar and choose iCloud Photo Sharing, then click New Shared Album.
Type a name for the shared album, then type the email addresses of the people you want to share the album with.
Not really sure why Apple changed this, I personally don't want my photos on the cloud. This seems like a huge step backwards to me.

I have lightroom 5.7. Now I have apple TV to connect my Mac to the TV scree. I wish to do a slide show on the TV. However, on the Mac, using ITunes to share photos with the TV, I cannot locate all photo files. What is the best way to save the slide show and put it where the Mac sharing can find it? So far, I made on one folder in Lightroom, put some photos there and I found them easily. Can this be done with a slide show? Please help quickly! Also worried that the photos I put on the new folder are hard to find afterwards, when the show is done. Where do they go when I delete from from the new folder?I am not alone

Not that I'm aware of. You just export JPEG copies to a folder that you can point iTunes to. For instance, I have created a folder in my Pictures folder called Apple TV. And within that folder I have other folders of pictures that I can choose from in iTunes to share with Apple TV. But there doesn't seem to be any way to share a Lightroom slideshow. If you have laid to create a video file that would probably work. Apple TV is a little clunky in my opinion. Some things are a little more difficult to do now than they were a while back. I probably haven't provided you with much help, but just keep experimenting and I think you will figure it out.

How can i see photos with apple tv from my time capsule files?

I have photos in my time capsule and i want to display them on my apple tv without a computer. Some sort of browsing in my time capsule from apple tv. Both are in the same wifi net, which uses time capsule as basis,

Unfortunately, you cannot do that. In order to share photos with your Apple TV, you need to select them through the advanced menu of iTunes on your computer.

Trying to share ipad2 with apple tv...thoughts?

If you double-click the Home button on iPad 2 or later and on older iPads with iOS 5, you get a special window that shows all the APPS that you have opened and not closed. If you touch the row of APPS at the bottom o the screen and slide to the right, a new set of things appears. You can adjust the sound and the brightness, and you can start or stop play from you iTunes music library.
Just to the let of the sound volume slider you will see a button with a small rectangle on it and a small triangle at the bottom. This is the "Where do you want the video to be sent?" button.
On an iPad 1 you can only select to send the image to your iPad or to an Apple TV, but I'm not sure this button does anything since with iPad 1 you can only send Photos or Music to Apple TV and the controls for that are within the APPS.
With newer iPads, that button next to the volume control slider has an extra option to "Mirror" your iPad to the Apple TV. Click this and you will see the image on your iPad also displayed on your Apple TV.
Good Luck.

If you have iPhoto on an iOS device rather than a Mac, you can create a 'Photo Journal', which is an online gallery hosted on iCloud: details here -

This facility is not as yet available in iPhoto on a Mac. If you don't have an iOS device you will need to find a third-party alternative. This page examines some options:

Morning JJFH,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
If after setting up Home Sharing, you cannot access your shared iTunes library over your home network from your Apple TV, take a look at this article:

Best way to share photos with friends?

Hi,
I want to share photos with my friends and family non-publicly. They should be able to view them and download them if they want. What would be the easiest way for this? Any good or bad experiences here?
Thanks
p.

Do your friends and family also have a mac or iPad/iPhone, or a Windows / PC? Then you could use Shared Photo Streams: See: iCloud: iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ
For further information:
iCloud: Using and troubleshooting Shared Photo Streams
iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
Shared Photo Streams would let you stream selected photos from your Aperture library directly to your friends's devices. Alternately upload your photos to an ftp-server and share the download link, for example, if you have a Drop Box account, you can share the link to folder in your Pictures folder.

How to disable "Share details with Apple..."

The version came up and I clicked on the "Accept" button to Share details with Apple". Now I have duplicate albums (with a little cloud on them) and in some cases, when I open the album, I have duplicate songs.
Is there a way to turn this off? Its confusing...
Thanks

The problem is not sharing info with Apple although if you want to turn that off it ios in Preferences, Store The checkbox at the bottom.
What you need to do is turn off showing content in the cloud.
Same places as above Preferences, Store 3 checkboxes higher Show iTunes in the cloud purchases

HT204053 how can i home share photos with another apple id

How can I share photos through home sharing with 2 apple ID. I have an Iphone and my wife does also but we created 2 ID's because we want our contacts to stay separated and we still want to view our pictures from our main desktop?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your iOS device, you need to delete the account from your iOS device first, then add it back using your updated details. (Settings > iCloud, scroll down and hit "Delete Account")
Providing you are simply updating your existing details and not changing to another account, when you delete your account, all the data that is synced with iCloud will also be deleted from the device (but not from iCloud), but will be synced back to your device when you login again.
In order to change your Apple ID or password for your iCloud account on your computer, you need to sign out of the account from your computer first, then sign back in using your updated details. (System Preferences > iCloud, click the sign out button)

Can you share photos with others through iCloud

Unfortunately only iPhoto on the iOS platform currently has the ability to share photos through its photo journal feature.

Unable to Choose Photos with Apple TV

I am trying to "Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV". However, I get the following error message
Photos folder syncing has been disabled for the Apple TV “” because the folder “(Unknown)” cannot be found.
Any help would be apprecited.

Since the problem you are having is with iTunes this would be better posted there. Is this a first generation ATV? From the error it sounds like the option is selected to sync ATV with photos from a specific folder, and iTunes is not able to find that folder. If you look what folder is selected. Have you checked to see if that folder is present?
