Streaming photos is a MUST HAVE for SW Version 1.1

The Apple TV I just installed is a thing of beauty in its ease of setup and use.
But as of now, I have found one gaping hole in its capabilities: It can't STREAM photos.
This means that, while you can view movies and listen to music from six computers, you can only view photos from one. Viewing photos requires SYNCing a photo library on a PC or Mac --i.e., copying them over to the A-TV's hard drive.
In our house, this means that we miss out on the photos of two active photographers, my wife and my son (since I set A-TV to sync with my Mac).
I can't see why this could not be a fix Apple can give us in A-TV software version 1.1. At the very least for us Mac users who store our photos in iPhoto albums.
Tivo has allowed accesss through its Home Media Option to photo libraries on a number of computers on a network for several years now --albeit less elegantly than the presentation through Apple TV.

I just re-read Walter Mossberg's review of the Apple TV in the Wall Street Journal and his understanding is that this limitation of not being able to stream photos is going to get fixed by Apple:
"The only downside of streaming as compared to syncing is that you can't stream photos. These can appear only through synchronization. Apple plans to enable photo streaming later."

I assume Mossberg has an inside track to Apple on this, so I am encouraged.

  • Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012

    I know that existing MDT could be integrated to a new SCCM.
    Is MDT must have for OS deployment in SCCM 2012 or SCCM has its own engine for OS deployment?

    Thanks for the answers.
    one more question...
    I am going to start SCCM deployment in test environment.
    For OS deployment part:
    if MDT is planned for integration with SCCM should I configure OS deployment in SCCM before adding MDT.
    Or in this scenario OS deployment in SCCM could not be touched.
    After all previous answers I understand that OS deployment module is part of SCCM installation and is independent from MDT.

  • I can't report a problem. It states I must have the latest version of Internet Explorer, which I have Explorer 8.  Seems to be some kind of glitch.

    I can't report a problem with a song on iTunes recently.  It states that I must have the latest version of Internet Explorer.  Which I do - Explorer 8.  What's the glitch?

    The Report a Problem within iTunes frequently seems to have problems. Go here:

    Extension manager refuses to accept extensions  because I must have DW CC version 12 or above. I'm using version 13.2 build 6466. Help, please. I'm using the latest iteration of the extension manager.

    DW CC (13) uses new extension file types ZXP.  Older extensions won't work in CC unless you convert them to ZXP from CS6 (12) or go to your Extension Developer's site to see if they have ZXP replacements.

  • The new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have for my business!  can i revert to the prior i photo, or???

    the new i photo won't let me manually sort my own photos. . . a must have in my line of work!  can i revert to the old i photo, and if so how?  if not, what are my options?

    I have no idea what you are doing - folders in iPhoto do not hold photos - they only hold other folders or albums - and albums can be sorted manually - and again have no idea what you mean by you hade to "minimize the size" - adding photos to albums has nothing to do with their size
    iPhoto is really easy - but does have a learning curve - under the help menu there is an iPhoto help section that contains several very good videos to helo you get started with learning iPhoto - the owuld be well worth the time to watch

  • A MUST HAVE FOR ICHAT WITH iSIGHT!!!!!!

    If anyone who buys an iSight to use with iChat or any other application you must get iGlasses! If you have ever thought that wow the video is really dark or boring you must try the demo atleast of iGlasses. I spent the 9 dollars or something and bought this program because i would be talking to my dad with all the lights off using the night vision feature.
    b It is a must HAVE! The link below is the iGlasses for Macs.
    http://www.ecamm.com/mac/iglasses/
    Jon
    PS Have fun. I had alot of fun making videos with my iSight using iMovie!!! Try it.

    Hi Gil,
    any known compatibility issues with iGlasses?
    Assuming you mean iSight compatibility, not since these.
    All in all, a good app if you want or need the features it adds. I have read no negative comments, and the price is certainly right.
    I admire the try-before-you-buy period, too. Who could complain about that?

  • Please get midi (.mid) support back in to Quicktime 10. It's a must have for music artists.

    The possibility of playing midi (.mid) files is possible when you install an older quicktime version 7.6.6. but thats not handy at all.
    Why is it ditched in quicktime higher than that?  Please apple bring the functionality back!!

    Go to  http://apple.com/feedback  and complain and keep complaining.  Apple discontinued midi support in Mountain Lion.  They don't listen to the forums, they do listen to feedback.  Keep at them until they fix it.

  • I must have an older version mac because i cannot download facetime. what do i do?

    i have a macbook with ios 10.5.8 but i cannot download facetime. can someone tell me how?

    Your Mac must be running at least Snow Leopard 10.6.6 in order to have Facetime.
    If your Mac meets the specs for Snow Leopard, it is necessary to purchase the install DVD from Apple in order to upgrade to it.

  • I can't use RealPlayer with Firefox version 5. I must have the previous version back to do my work. How can I get it?

    I depend on RealPlayer for many things - work that I can only open files I need with it. There isn't a version that now works with the newest version of Firefox. How can I get the previous version of Firefox back so I can use my computer to do my business work? Unfortunately I can't wait for updates on RealPlayer to keep meeting updates to Firefox. I can't use version 5 of Firefox because it disabled RealPlayer - hence Firefox has made my doing work on my laptop impossible if I use Firefox, If there is no remedy to go back a version, I'll just go back to IE exclusively. Money is money. Thanks so much for your help!

    I had this same problem when my school's email page refused to work in Firefox 5. I solved it by installing the User Agent RG extension, then changing my user agent to IE7 before accessing my school email. Once you install the extension, you'll have to show your menu bar when you want to use it, then you'll find the User Agent submenu under the Tools menu. Hope this works for you, too.

  • I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.

    I just downloaded iCloud on my PC and noticed that fewer than half of my photo stream photos have transferred over to my PC.  Why is this happening and how can I get the remaining photos?  All of my devices are charged and have perfect internet signals.  Thanks in advance for any tips and insights!

    It's probably happing because photo stream photos only remain in iCloud for 30 days (even though your last 1000 photos will remain on your devices until deleted).  When you enabled photo stream on your PC you would have only received photos from the last 30 days.
    To transfer older photos to your computer, create a shared photo stream that contains them and invite yourself as a subscriber (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mmc0cd7e99).

  • Must have Freeware/Shareware for Mac

    Hi, I'm new to Mac and I keep looking for any freeware/shareware must haves for my iMac. I have XRG, Onyx, Temp monitor, MacJanitor downloaded at the moment. What else is out there to keep the Mac running trouble free?
    Thanks

    Well, as far as I know, there are no real must have apps/utilities to keep your computer running well. It should just work.
    However, if you want to be a "power user", then there are always nice little tweak apps. If you can be specific as to what types of things you want to tweak, I'm sure people will be able to help you out. I personally am not much for a power user on Macs. I got sick of being a power user, so that's why I got a mac. It just works. hehehe. But the option is always there.
    Everyone is always talking about "Cocktail" ( http://www.maintain.se/cocktail/index.html ) as being a must have app. I've got it, and I've run it before, but for the most part my opinion of it is, "meh".
    I guess as a means to keep your machine from getting bogged down, rather then going out and searching for stuff that people say you need, but just look for stuff that does what you need it to do as you discover a need to do it.
    Oh okay. so I guess there is something you do need. I discovered the need to monitor my CPU usage and memory usage without having to open up the activity monitor all the time. The tool I found was MenuMeters ( http://www.ragingmenace.com/software/menumeters/ )
    So I guess there are two things I can recommend

    ask 100 people and you get 100 opinions.
    scout the iTunes app store and find out which apps will suit your needs. you can do that NOW, while you anticipate the arrival of your new toy. it's more fun that way, IMHO

    Hi you have basicly 2 Options.
    1 -if you Switch One fotostream on all 3 devices of yours which are working on the same apple id -all Fotos you Take with your iPad will be synchronized via icloud to the other 2 decvices ( w-lan and battery depending).
    2- If you select foots or a whole album in iPhoto on your air or iMac and choose than puplish --> fotostream --> new or existing event you can key in a friends mail. If this friend has iCloud and iPhoto ( for iMac or MacBook ) and click on the link in the email it will download this fotos in the fotostream section in iPhoto. If he has a iPad, iPhone,... It will do it in the foto app and if he doesn't have a iCloud account at all and you choose "public web site" while publishing he can see your fotostream on a website.
