Streaming photos from main itunes library (syncing library)

I have synced my AppleTV (40G) with my main computer and iTunes library - this works fine. But since my iTunes & Photo libraries are larger than the space on my AppleTV I wanted to stream the rest of the content including photos from this same computer. Unfortunately, the extra photos are not streamed. I must be missing something. Recommendations?

on this same point, I am trying to stream movies from my mini to my tv but want to sync photos from the same mini to the same tv. it appears that i can only sync or only stream but not both from the same source. am i doing something wrong?

  • How come you can't stream photos from a primary library that is "paired"?

    I think someone else commented about this as well but I never really saw an answer as to why Apple doesn't allow this. How come you can only stream from a shared or secondary library but for a primary or "paired" libray you have to sync photos. If you can stream from a primary it is not working for me.
    Thanks again ATV community!

    It's behaving correctly for you, you cannot stream photos from a primary library. Why I don't know, the software has gone through several stages and various options have been offered, so I can only assume it's not an oversight but a deliberate restriction for the better.

  • My apple tv 2 says I can't stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac without settng up iTunes Match. I don't want to set up iTunes match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to A

    When I click on the Music tab on my Apple TV 2, a message tells me I have to set up iTunes Match to stream music from my iTunes library on my iMac. I don't want to set up and pay for iTunes Match. How can I get back to the pre-Match system which let me just use home sharing to stream music from computer to Aple TV

    Ditto.
    You need to look for your itunes library under Computers and select it, then music.
    Music column is for web based content not local content, just to confuse everyone.

  • Can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system?  Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

    can time capsule allow me to stream music from my itunes library directly to my home stereo system?  Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?

    Sorry, not sure if I understand what you are asking.
    Are you thinking of moving your iTunes / Media Folder from your Mac to the Time Capsule? 
    If you do this...when...not if...the Time Capsule drive has a problem....you lose everything because you have no backup for the iTunes library.
    A much safer plan would be to add an external hard drive to your computer and move the iTunes library there.
    Then, if you are using Time Machine for backups, it will back up both your Mac and the hard drive.  Now you have "originals" on one drive and backups on another.
    In order to stream music from the iTunes library, iTunes must always be open on your computer.
    Is there anyway to access my itunes library from my tv?
    Yes, if your TV has an HDMI input and you have an Apple TV.

  • TS3989 When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    Hopefully someone can help me with my question.  When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).  When I click View it brings me to my iPhoto library but the photo(s) are not there?

    When I try to add photos from PhotoStream into my iPhoto Library a message appears asking to view the photo in the library (as if it were already imported).
    How exacly are you trying to import from the Photo Stream? Dragging from the stream to the events? Ctrl-clicking or right clicking?
    If "Show in Library" does not show the event, then your iPhoto Library may need repairing or rebuilding;  try to run the iPhoto Library First Aid Tools, if you have not already done so. See this post by Old Toad on how to do it:    Rebuild iPhoto Library Version 11:

  • Iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgraded application.

    iphoto 9.5 won't import photos from iPhoto 7.5.  Library will not update using the iPhoto library upgrader application.  Repeatedly says it can't locate photos even when told to cancel.  I think the photos in question are in Nikon RAW format.

    iPhoto 9.5 immediately tries to "upgrade" my library using the upgrader.
    iPhoto 9.5 asks you to run the upgrader to prepare the library for 9.5. It then will update the library to its format.
    You need to do the following:
    1 - go to your Applications/Utilities folder and double click on the iPhoto Library Upgrader 1.1 application. 
    2 - select Choose Library, navigate to your iPhoto library, select it and let the upgrader do its thing.
    3 - launch iPhoto 9.5 to open and finish the conversion of the library.

  • Streaming Photos from Windows PC

    I would like to stream photos from a Windows PC to an AppleTV. From this Apple article -- http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306467 - it sounds like I need PhotoShop Elements for Windows (as well as iTunes for Windows). Is this true? Do I need extra Windows software?
    Does streaming of photos to an AppleTV work well with a Windows PC?
    Rob

    Thanks Chenks. The main reason I asked this question is to figure out whether I should buy an AppleTV in the first place. Costco has them on sale. (I didn't want to spend another $100 on Photoshop Elements).
    I have a Mac where all my music is stored and a PC where all my photos are stored. I can't move the photos to my Mac without getting an external drive which I do not want to do. Since I will likely use the AppleTV to listen to music more often than watching photos, I want to sync my Mac to the AppleTV and stream my photos from my PC.
    After doing some searching online, I discovered that the free Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition does work with the AppleTV. It looks like at one time you did need Photoshop Elements or Album to sync or stream photos with the AppleTV. You might not need it now.
    I will find out whether I can stream my photos from my PC to the AppleTV WITHOUT Photoshop Elements or Album since I just bought an AppleTV from Costco. If I do, I will use the free PhotoShop Album Starter Edition -- (see http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshopalbum/starter.html )

  • Cannot stream photos from iPad, cannot stream audio from Pandora

    Updated to iOS 4.2.1 and I can stream audio from the iPod app on the iPad to the ATV2, so I know AirPlay is working. But, I cannot stream photos (there is no AirPlay icon showing on top of the screen, unlike the video demo from Apple.com web site). Also, cannot stream audio from Pandora (again, no AirPlay icon).
    The odd thing is that I can stream Pandora audio from the iPhone 4. But, not photos (same problem as with the iPad).
    Is anybody able to stream photos from either iPad or iPhone? How about Pandora audio from the iPad?

    Apparently what is happening, and this was brought up in another thread, and what I suspected was happening as well, is that the iPhone/iPad/iPod touch is not streaming the video itself directly to the AppleTV (it might be streaming it if it's audio only, haven't confirmed). What it's apparently doing is, is telling the AppleTV2 to download the video and play it on its own, starting with xx:xx timestamp directly from youtube or your iTunes library. This is why it's only working with your iTunes library or the built-in YouTube app. And also why it wouldn't work with the camera roll, because it isn't streaming directly from the iPhone. So it's not exactly what we were originally thinking or expecting.

  • Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Can I move my very large iPhoto app and photos from main HD to a larger secondary HD via drag and drop?

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    1. Quit iPhoto
    2. Copy the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
    3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
    4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.

  • Streaming photos from ipad to laptop

    I streamed photos from my laptop to ipad (not using iCloud) and my laptop hard drive has now failed. I have no back-up of the photos. I can still see the photos on the ipad. Is it possible to stream the photos back to a new laptop from the ipad?  None of the photos were taken from the ipad. I was advised by the apple store that it is not possible to stream from ipad to laptop due to copy right laws etc. Any suggestions will be gratefully received. Thanks

  • Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer

    Can't sync photos from ipad that I synced from another computer... I want to have them on my computer.
    Why isn't there a way to do this? I don't get it. Sharing photos is such an important thing I don't understand why Apple makes it so hard to do this.
    OK here is my senario:
    Recently went on a trip Hong Kong with someone... we both had iphones and took hundreds of awesome photos. Now we want to share them with eachother. Too many photos for email and I don't wish to upload to flicker/facebook/etc...
    This is what I did thinking it should work...
    1) synced photos on her iphone with her computer
    2) synced photos on MY iphone with her computer
    3) put ALL the hong kong photos in one album
    4) connected my ipad to her computer... attempted to copy photos from iphoto to ipad -- NOPE, can't be done (***?!?!)
    5) so I synced the photos (and only the photos) in the hong kong album using itunes to my ipad -- this worked -- all photos now on my ipad
    6) drove home (5 hours away) and connected ipad to my computer and attempted to import with iphoto -- NOPE, can't be done (***!?!?) Won't even show the photos.
    7) itunes wants to replace all the photos on my ipad with the photos from my computer (***?!?!)
    How are you suppose to do this?! How are you suppose to be able to share lots of photos with people?

    Photos are not copied off the iPad via iTunes.
    For photos taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    For photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app such as Simple Transfer (which has a free lite version called Simple Photo & Video Transfer) which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • Make iPhoto Airplay capable: stream photos from ipad?

    I think it would be nice if we could stream photos from iphoto to AppleTV via Airplay.  Does this exist via some smart 3rd party app that I am unaware of, or is it something we should ask apple to do?
    ~gN@

    The only way I found to do this (on a computer, not an iPad) is to EXPORT a group of photos from iPhoto, select Slideshow, and "automatically load slideshow into iTunes" THEN you can play that slideshow in iTunes. Klunky & slow at best, considering that iPhoto cn instantly display a slideshow on my MBP. :-(
    Hope they add Airplay in the next rev.
