Streaming photos through Apple TV2

Hi,I am able to get audio from Macbook through Apple TV but not photos. Whilst audio will go through and play, the ATV2 will not recognise photo or audio library even though both Macbook and AppleTV are addressed alike. I have selected photo albums and all appears ok -- any ideas??s .

All used to work well but not I cannot see any photos from iphoto on my Apple tv 2.  I have home sharing on in both devices and as well I have selected "photos to share" in my imac itunes; interestingly enough is only iphotos that would not show; if i select "aperture" as the source then those will appear.  Also of interest is that I can stream from itunes on my imac, music and videos but not photos!
I have restored my apple tv2 to try and solve the problem but it sound like maybe iphoto is the problem?

  • Volume control for video playback through Apple TV2

    I am trying to configure the volume settings used on airplay through apple TV2 and a macbook pro and Iphone4 all with most recent updates.
    I am using the apple remote app on my iphone to control the apple tv.
    Whats working:
    Using the pandora app on my iphone through aiplay to the apple tv, I can control the volume using the plus and minus buttons on the side of the iphone for volume control. Very cool and easy.
    Using the apple remote app on my iphone I can control the itunes volume of different speakers by clicking on the airplay icon and using a slider.  Not as cool as using the hard +/- buttons but still works.
    Whats not working:
    Controling volume on appleTV2 through the iphone remote app for video playbacks like netflix, and youtube.
    Why I want this: RIght now I can control most of the multimedia right from my iphone including cranking the music up:) But when I switch over to video(Netlfix, Youtube) I have to get out another remote (stereo reciever) to control the volume. It seems we are so close to being able to control everything off the iphone, the only thing missing is volume control for video playback.
    Is there a setting that can be changed or a solution I havent found?
    Thanks

    Same problem with TV3. HDMI volume output is not adjustable, neither with the original Apple remote nor with any universal. Why ? Every simple settop-box is able to be volume adjusted. And a Mac Mini too ?!!!
    I use a flatscreen TV. it has 3 HDMI inputs and one optical out for the audio going to an amp standing behind it. The sound of the TV is switched to go to the optical out.
    HDMI 1 is connected to the satellite settop box with its  own remote control ( channel +/-, volume +/- etc. ) it work s fine.
    HDMI 2 is connected to the MacMini HDMI out with its own remote control ( channel/music +/-, volume +/- ) it works fine too.
    HDMI 3 was connected to Apple TV3 with its own remote control ( channel/music +/- but no volume ). I sent the TV3 back to Apple.
    What's going wrong in the mind of Apple ? Why is the HDMI volume output of the MacMini adjustable with the Apple remote, and the TV3 not ?
    I want not to discuss, wether a 4th remote control is useful or not. I don't want it. I want to adjust the volume with the originl remote control of the specific unit I use, because I need it anyway. It worked since years, but not with Apple TV3.
    How can we help Apple to open the volume +/- function on their own remote control ?

  • Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV?

    Does the Apple Digital Av adapter Stream in 1080P so that my keynote presentations look better that streaming them through apple TV? I use Keynote and Apple TV to stream my Keynote presentations at work and the Picture does not look great and does not put the presetation in widscreen mode. Would the Apple Digital Av adapter fix that?

    The size on the screen should remain, but the quality should be better.

  • How to eliminate subtitles when streaming Netflix through Apple TV?

  • Streaming photos with Apple TV 2

    I want to stream, not sync, my iPhoto library to Apple TV (the library is located on the machine I'm using to sync & stream video and music). That worked fine under 1.x. After upgrading, it still seemed to work, but I have since done a factory restore on my Apple TV. Now I can't find an option that will allow Apple TV to see my library without syncing.
    This article talks about setting up streaming, but it's based on 1.x, not 2.0:

    What am I missing?

    //Disclaimer : I might be wrong
    iTunes treats Photos as an afterthought, something thrown in because of demand. To my knowledge there is no way to stream photos from iTunes short of uploading them to your Flickr/.Mac account and doing it that way (of course wasting a lof of bandwidth). Personally I just let the photos sync. I have 10k pictures of my 2 kids and its only 5gigs.

  • Streaming netflix through apple tv using airpot extreme.

    I am having trouble streaming netflix through my apple tv using airport extreme router.  How can I fix this problem?

    What kind of problems?
    Accessing Netflix from AppleTV or Airplaying Mirroring via iPad (which would be pointless as it's available on AppleTV direct even if it worked)?
    Does other stuff like movie rentals, iTunes previews work ok?

  • Cannot stream Spotify through Apple TV

    Hello,
    I cannot seem to be able to stream Spotify via Apple TV from my iMac.  I have tried selecting Apple TV speakers and also mirroring but there is no sound.  When I mirror the screen works fine mirroring only TV set, but there is no sound coming out.  Am I missing something in speaker set up ro something?  Have rebooted, restarted, no joy.  Please help.

    ATV 2, latest update, latest Mavericks, all apps properly updated, 27"inch iMac latest generation.

    only with spottily or all audio absent when you mirror?
    when asking putting in very specific info such as stating the app can be confusing if the issue is general
    personally my first step would be the disconnect the router for 30sec

  • Streaming videos through apple tv

    Since the upgrade to iOs8 I cannot stream videos to my tv through appletv. If they work, it crashes a few seconds into it.
    Also, the little icon on the bottom right corner of the video where I would choose which device to play the video on (phone, and other apple tvs), is gone. Do we have to go to settings and enable air play every single time?
    I want that icon back.

    I am having the same problem.  Since the IOS8 Upgrade,I have been unable to stream videos without it crashing every few minutes.  Nothing else has changed. Same router, same devices all with the same wiFi connection.  Most of the time when it crashes and I finally get it to start again, the video always starts from the beginning again, very annoying.  Before the upgrade.... no problems at all.   I also checked out the link to resolving issues with airplay etc.  and nothing there has solved this problem.   I hope Apple will address this problem and come up with a fix.  I love my Apple products, but love them even more when everything works properly  

  • How to stream music through Apple TV?

    Just learning the uses of Apple TV. So I know it mirrors devices &amp; can turn tv into a huge monitor, but what else can it do? How to play music through it, since it's not connected to home stereo?

    The Apple TV will not act as a computer in any way.
    It connects via wifi to your home network.
    Home sharing allows it to show your iPhoto pictures, iTunes content, Apple radio and more through the TV
    You can play your Netflix or Hulu membership with Apple TV Apps.
    Movies or TV shows purchased or rented can be shown with Apple TV
    Many people use a sound bar or are connected to a home theater which improves music quality.
    I prefer my Roku to the Apple TV because it has more Apps (Amazon among others) 
    If you have a Windows PC, rather than a Mac, you should consider Roku not Apple TV

  • Streaming Netflix through Apple TV

    My question is simple: will I be able to stream Netflix 'Watch Instantly' films thorough an Apple TV, to watch on my big screen?

    In the future, I wish there would be a standard streaming system which any piece of hardware could connect to. I have Netflix and use a Samsung Blu-Ray DVD player to stream Netflix to my HDTV. I unplugged my AppleTV as Netflix subscription-based service offers much more in terms of price to content ratio. For $8.99/mo I get unlimited streaming over over 12,000 titles.
    For Music, I think people would like to own the material, but for most people, owning movies isn't as important. A song is 3 minutes, a movie 2 hours. How many times will you watch a movie vs listening to a song? I feel Subscription-based services are the future, and Apple should get on the wagon soon. I'd be paying Apple rather than Netflix if they offered it to me.

  • Streaming ESPN3 broadcast through Apple TV

  • Slideshow bug in 4.2.1 when pushed using AirPlay to Apple TV2

    Anyone else found this bug?
    (after upgrading to iOS 4.2.1 and Apple TV 4.1)
    If you enable a Photos slideshow on the iPhone and change the custom transitions/photo lengths, everything plays fine on the iPhone 4 as expected. However, now that you can stream to the Apple TV2 using AirPlay, there is a bug in the 4.2.1 software. If you start your Photos slideshow on your iPhone, then press the airplay icon (top right of the screen), it streams your slideshow to Apple TV2. Great news! However, the issue is that the pushed slideshow only shows photos using the dissolve transition with 2 second intervals between photos, regardless of your user defined slideshow options. As soon as you disable the AirPlay and go back to the slideshow on your iPhone, it plays fine using your custom settings.
    Am I crazy, or is anyone else finding this using the iOS and Apple TV2 updates today???

    I have an ipad running ios 4.2 and my slideshow only does the shuffle with repeat and either 2 or 3 second (not sure which one it is) show time. Rebooted, changed the settings, etc. But still stuck with those settings when running the slideshow.
