Showing photos onTV

I can't get it to work. I took the Apple red/yellow/white cable to Fry's and Best Buy and tried to view on several brands of TV's. A few times, I could get one picture to come through. I have over 12,000 songs. Is this the problem? I had TV out setting turned "on". I had the cables plugged into the right colors. I changed the TV to match the video in. I am ready to give up on using the photo features of the Ipod 60 gig. The picture on the ipod screen is too small to be useful.

Ordinary AV cable: TIP--AUDIO LEFT, RING1--AUDIO RIGHT, RING2--COMPOSITE VIDEO,SLEEVE--GROUND
APPLE'S iPod AV Cable:TIP--AUDIO LEFT, RING1--AUDIO RIGHT, RING2--GROUND,SLEEVE--COMPOSITE VIDEO.
So they altered the cable (and the jack inside the ipod)from what is normal?
I'm asking because I'm wondering if I could run the ipod to a digital camcorder. In the past I've been able to transfer video from camcorder to camcorder using just a 3.5mm (1/8" mini-stereo) male-male cable - and thought I could get the ipod to the tv that way. But looks like no.
They did that just to sell a cable? Hmmm.
It doesn't seem right to take a standard cheap cable and break it so I have to buy the white one.

"An error occurred" When trying to show photos...

Hi, I really hope someone can help me....
Whenever I try to show photos on Front Row, the message comes up "an error occurred" Press play/pause to exit front row.
I think I must have some corruption in my iPhoto library so I have tried the following:
Re-building the library, thumbnails etc.
Deleting the last 10 events (since the problem occurred)
Emptying trash
Deleting all albums and slideshows
All to no avail.
I have tried creating a new user account and opening the library in that and using Front row to confirm it wasn't user account settings, same problem again. But if I create a new library with just a few photos in it, it works fine in Front Row on both user accounts.
This has all started happening since I moved from a mac mini to a 27" iMac, the photo library is on an external drive and worked fine like that with the mini but not the iMac. I have tried copying it onto the iMac hard drive in case it was the external drive causing the problem but that doesn't seem to have made any difference. I did change to snow leopard around the same time, would this have anything to do with it maybe?
I have over 16000 photos in my library and have spent hours tagging them, geo-tagging, updating faces etc so I really don't want to have to rebuild the library from scratch manually.
Any clues?
Thanks

Sean, thanks for the Return key tip. I knew about that at one point, but lately I was trying to use Enter (the one on the numeric keypad, at the very lower right corner of the keyboard, which is really easy to hit with my thumb even when my hand is on the mouse! And Enter doesn't invoke the crop, so I forgot that Return did). That is a better way.
I don't see the RE problem on my MacBook, only on my desktop computer, and that one is also experiencing other flakiness (

I have deleted my photos but have icloud. when i log into icloud it doesnt give me an option to view these photos at all. my photo stream is only showing photos from another iphone in the house. i am unsure if i do a restore from back up if this will work. i really dont want to lose these photos but i am very unsure of what to do to resolve. can anyone please help?
thank you

If you had Photo Stream enabled with your iCloud account settings on the iPhone, photos in the Camera Roll should have been transferred to your photo steam automatically when the iPhone was connected to an available wi-fi network.
Your photo stream is not available when logging in with your iCloud account with a browser on a computer.
Why were the photos in the Camera Roll deleted?
Photos/videos in the camera roll are included with your iPhones backup. If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the photos were deleted from the camera roll, you can try restoring your iPhone from the backup.

"show photo settings" and ken burns glitch? please help :(

hi, i'm having a problem,
my software is the latest version, so is quicktime, all my updates are up to date, i'm not using an external hardrive.
i was creating a music video composed of all still pictures and everything was going fine untill today.
the "show photo settings" display box has a glitch or something.
the slide bars for the ken burns effect have disappeared.
a checkmark on the imovie display is now visible and the apply and reverse buttons have disappeared.
i can no longer exit out the photo settings window the same way as before.
when pictures are added to the timeline they are much too long.
i'm unable to keep the ken burns affect box checked, it keeps unchecking itself and it wont allow me to change any photo settings on certain pictures and on the ones it will allow me to when i press "apply" or the checkmark it stalls and wont render the file (the red line doesn't fill and just stays there)
when changing the length or display time of the picture it will delete itself and replace it with the next picture in line.
can anyone help me? i've spent a massive amount of time on this video and would like to finish it. i dont know what the problem is. maybe i clicked something i shouldn't have?
thanks in advance

i'm estimating around _1000 pictures_ ... they are all being stored on the desktop ...
WOW!
... how long does your poor Mac need for booting??
The >40y old Xerox metaphor of a Desktop/Folders/trashbin had the concept of simulating reallife.. would you store ~1000 pics on your desk while glueing them into an album (ever glued 1k pics into an album?) ...?
I assume, your System is 'cluttered'. totally cluttered.
try to clean up ... in Finder, clean your File 'System'... create folders (many folders...), use the pre-installed structure your Mac came with (how about storing pictures in... ehm, Pictures?), why not using iLife as intended (import into iM from iPhoto), why not using the integrated 'File Management' of iPhoto to create albums, to give your mass of pics some structure, finally consider to use approbiate apps (if you try to create a stopmotion-like movie, QTpro or Boinx' istopmotion are better tools) ...
keep in mind, a Mac needs at last 10-15GB free on internal drive to act normal.
export as much as you can to external drives (firewire connected, 'MacOsExtended' formatted), don't forget to give these harddrives structure too .. you know how to create Folders in Finder?
after all is set and done, your desktop is clean, everything is in its place, use Disk Utility to check&repair... finally, reboot your Mac, give it a chance to 'recreate' itself in better shape
... and there's still a high chance, that the fragile file management of the 20$ consumer app iMovie is still overwhelmed by >1000 stills in one single project...

Albums not showing photos

I am just learning about IPhoto 5. I made albums and all was great for days with slide shows and all. Then I added some new photo's to albums, now my albums will not show photo's. I can only see my photo's in IPhoto folders that are of various numbers, 01, 02, 04, 10 etc... what are these numbers and why did my photos disapear from my albums?

Hi cazam,
I am not sure if you are talking about seeing the albums within iPhoto or if you are talking about seeing the album folder in the Finder. The album folder in the Finder that was present with iPhoto 4 is no longer used by iPhoto 5. This is why you don't see it in the Finder.
This is a view of how the iPhoto 5 Library looks in the Finder.
It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

Facebook not showing photos

Hi,
My Facebook app does not show photos, mine or other peoples, when in album view I get empty boxes and when I click to view a photo I get an ugly pixelated grey box with a cross in it - any ideas? I've checked the apps permissions on Facebook and it has access to my photos.

Post relates to: Pre p100ueu (O2)

Thanks for posting your concern, Shailja61. Does it happen regardless of the connection you are using? Is the phone's software up-to-date? Are you also unable to see your Facebook contacts photos when you go to People hub? Did you already try updating all the system apps? To update it, scan the QR codes from this link: App updates.
We'll wait for your response.

Photostream not showing photos on iMac

Why is my Photostream not showing photos in iphoto, if I drag them in they do go onto the ipad but disappear off the photostream in iPhoto?

Same problem here. Photostream works (most of the time). Photos are synchronized. Sometimes, it seems as if it wouldn't synchronize them, but then it starts a few minutes later to put them in the Photostrem August Event under events. Just the Photostream part of iPhoto doesn't show any photos...
But I'm glad I've found someone with the same problem. Now we can compare our cases and maybe, we'll find what we have in common that could have caused this.
I'll start describing everything I can think of that could influence this and you (and others) can tell me if this is true for you too.
Can't be the system, as I see you're on Leopard (10.5). I'm on Mountain Lion (10.8) and problem already existed under Lion(10.7).
1. Old iMac (mid2007, at that time high end, but now obviously quiet slow)
2. iPhoto is on an external harddrive (that's what I suspect it might come from). Not sure if the problem was there before, because I rarely go to the Photostream view.
3. Used Duplicate Annihilator to find duplicates. It said something about turning off photostream first. Normally, I did this. Maybe I forgot once and my library got damaged?
Not sure what else could have caused this... Maybe we find out if we compare...

IPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black.

iPhoto is not showing photos stored in albums in the last week, and when I add recent photos, they don't show, or show as black. What's happening ? I show an incompatible upgrade available for OSX Maveriks, which I have not yet installed.

What version of iPhoto are you using? Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

IOS8 Photos not showing photos in chronological order

Photos App not showing photos in chronological order!!
what gives apple?! I take a picture, go to Photos and since theres no more camera roll, I'm forced to go into Photos Tab, and when I select "Collections", I see the tiny thumbs of all my pictures sorted which look fine in chronological order, But when select to go down to the next level of viewing (Moments), the dates are all over the place! When I scroll all the way down, I should technically be at the most recent of my pictures taken. Its not, it shows Aug26. Then one above that Aug 21 Then next few are in Aug; mind you we are in September. Then theres Jun 25. THEN finally some recent photos of Sept 26 and 15!!! THEN the next one is MAY 31.
So trying to find my most recent photos taken is painstakingly tough.

Check this thread out. I have mobileme, but this solution worked, perhaps you could try something similar for your Gmail account...

I have an older version of imovie. After I change the photos using the Ken Burns effect and save them, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' to change the zoom, the picture appears black and I can't change the zoom?

I have a five year old version of imovie that generally works fine. However, when I add a photo using the 'Ken Burns' effect then save the movie, the next time I open the file and click 'show photo settings' the picture appears black and I cannot change the zoom. Any suggestions?

Have you rendered both iOS 7 and iOS 8 (both of which will work on your iPhone 5) out of the question entirely without trying every possible configuration? The animations can be disabled entirely, if that's the problem. And if the whiter-brighter user interface is the problem, there's reverse-contrast modes that darken everything. You can expose accessibility controls to gain immediate access to these functions to toggle them on and off. I guess my point is you may have decided against upgrading the OS based on an early experience with iOS 7 when Apple has since made changes in later revisions to address some of the usability complaints.
Now, Apple's instructions for downloading older versions of apps is to do so from the Purchased list, not from the app's product page.
See here:
Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X - Apple Support
Let us know how that works for you.

Ken Burns Effect window not there when I click on "Show Photo Settings"

Hi
I am using IMovie HD v 6.0.3 on my mac book pro v 10.4.11. When I press "Show Photo Settings" in imovie, all I see is a large preview window with the photo panning and zooming. There is no window box with a small preview window, zoom, speed controls, and Ken Burns check box, etc. on the interface. So, as a result, the only control I have is a stop, and grab.
Where is my Ken Burns window with all the controls? Is there a download or a fix for this? What am I missing? I have a project loaded with photos and a deadline, so I figured if I used imovie instead of final cut pro, it would be much quicker and easier.
Please help....
Thanks,
Anneita

Thanks for your reply! Your suggestion makes perfect sense.
However, just before I received your reply, I made an appointment with a Mac Genius at the local Apple store, and guess what! The transparent box was hiding way down the bottom of the screen, and that's why it couldn't be seen. He found it! Duhhhhh......
Thanks again.

How can I show photos from aperture via airplay?

We try to show the photos via airplay to apple TV. now does that work?

Hi Bob,
I am trying to do it like the instructions by using iTunes to show photos from my Aperture library. When I select this in iTunes no photos are linked and thus I cannot show them using my Apple TV. Are you streaming directly to your Apple TV from the Aperture application?

Show photo full screen without border?

When I try to show a photograph "full screen" (ctrl-cmd-F), there is a border around the photo which wastes screen space and makes the photo harder to see than a true full screen display would. Is there a way to show photos over the whole screen without Photos adding anything (like borders or controls)? I know you can use the slider to make a single image fit the screen, but of course, that is unreasonable for many photos, especially if you are showing photographs to other people. Thanks.

I found the (sort of) answer after some playing a bit more. It seems that Photos does not enlarge a photo to fill the screen if the photo's resolution is less than the resolution of the screen (or maybe some multiple of the resolutions is used). So if you have a large photograph and show it in full screen, it will indeed take the full screen. But if you have say a 1200x800 photo on a MacBook Retina 15 inch, full screen will show the photo with a border around it.
I've never before seen a photo viewer that does not have an option to expand small photos to fill the screen, but apparently I have now. I assume this omission is in keeping with Apple's philosophy that function is secondary to simplicity (where simplicity is defined solely as keeping options to a minimum). I'd love to be wrong about this so if anyone knows of an option to expand all photos to fill the screen regardless of the resolution of the original image, I'd still like to know. Thanks again

Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion. But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu). Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.
