Syncing Apple TV and iPhoto

I am trying to sync my iPhoto library to my Apple TV, the progress bar in iTunes says Syncing "Apple TV", but it is not actually showing the files syncing, and my MBP fan is running and my Apple TV is hot, and it is taking way too long. Did anyone else have this happen? Does it just take a long time for it to sync? Thanks!

I have a 25,000 library of photos in iphoto and syncing isn't happening. I noticed that the librarys would show the size of the library while it appeared to by syncing and then they would disappear. sooo after trying this several more time... I rebuilt my iphoto. (also ran permissions...)
Still not syncing.
I created a completely new iphoto imported some photos into it and that is working great.
I also had luck with aperture.
If anybody comes up with why my larger library is having problems, I would love to use that one instead.

Lost photos! aaaggh! (iPhoto 08). I disconnected my HDD temporarily when relocating.I synced my iphone and iPhoto it seems has rebuilt the library from the old copy

I have two ext HDD intended to ensure I don't lose my photos( iPhoto 08). I disconnected my HDD temporarily when relocating.
I then synced my iphone and iPhoto it seems has rebuilt the library from the old copy of the library (2011. I have Time Machine but I can't restore the last 3y photos as I guess Time machine does not back up the other HDD.
Any chance of finding my treasured photos somebody?

Sounds like you have another iPhoto library someplace - under no conditions would iPhoto revert a library to an older one - you just need to find and open the correct one
Depress and hold the option key, launch iPhoto and use the resulting select library to look st the libraries you have

IMAC Using sync in iTunes and iPhoto?

When my first set up my Mac,I had several apps set up to sync. Since, I have added iTunes Match.
in iTunes I see both devices, iPad, iPhone and noticed the music, photos and even books are not checked to sync. Is this because of iTunes Match and in ICloud? I want to know more about these while I am getting more familiar with my Apple products Over the years.
instead of leaving things the way they are, I want to make sure everything is set correctly. I want music and photo contents on all three to be different. Right now, the most important is to make sure iTunes on my Mac are set correctly for syncing. Shouldn't music and photos set to sync or this being done by iTunes match?
dont know why but suddenly not sure and want to find out recommendations and examples of what some of are set up. I know making this more than it should and appreciate your help.
thanks,

I had the same error (1102) ~ both my iTunes and iPhoto Folders are located on my external drive which is a Drobo, and what I discovered was this: The Drobo (USB Connection) needed to be re-mounted (by unplugging the USB cable and re-plugging it) ... although I could see files in the Finder window, the Drobo was not showing up when I opened the Drobo Dashboard. Re-mounting it fixed the accessibility problem, but iTunes still did not seem to know where my iPhoto folder was, so I opened iPhoto while holding down the option key to tell iPhoto where my iPhoto Library folder is (on the Drobo) ... then re-opened iTunes and the photos synced properly. Previous to this the "Photos" tab in iPhoto did not show any folders or albums, so this may not be exactly the same issue you had, although perhaps it will help? Good Luck!

Apple TV and iPhoto 08

Anyone know how to get a list of events when syncing Apple TV ? It is asking for albums but now we have events formating I don't use albums anymore
Any advice, I can basically sync all, the last 12 months or last import at present. I have just moved from Aperture to iphoto again.
David

The Apple TV doesn't seem to support Events, yet. You're best off making Smart Albums that match certain Event Titles for now, until Apple implement an Events browser on the Apple TV.

Lost pictures when syncing from camera and iPhoto crashed.

I was syncing my photos (around 900), and iPhoto crashed. They are no longer on my camera and not on iPhoto. Any way to recover it?

maybe
you can try Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
you may be able to recover the phtos on the SD card using media recover
for the future a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos

New Apple Keyboard and iPhoto 08.

It seems that when you install the new Apple Keyboard and download and install the Apple Keyboard update ver 1.1, it breaks iPhoto 08. What I am saying is that it will not let you rename any of your events! I installed it on my MacPro and it happened, then I went to my MacBook and installed the keyboard and the update and the same thing happened!
Anyone else having this problem?

The Fix!
Go to the Finder, go to Macintosh HD, go to the folder called Library, go to the folder called Caches, look for a folder called com.apple.ATS usually the first folder, drag it to the trash. The computer will then ask you for your password and then restart your computer and all wii be fixed!

Syncing Apple TV and iTunes by third party wireless router - solution?

I have been having lots of problems syncing my Apple TV with iTunes ever since I installed iTunes 7.6 including, Apple TV not appearing/disappearing in devices list, content not authorized, etc. I followed troubleshooting help, asked in store for advice, re-installed everything - nothing worked.
Last night I installed the new combo 10.5.2 update and still got nowhere.
However, I accidently disconnected the power to my wireless router (BT Homehub) and restarted it and iTunes recognised Apple TV and started to sync!!!
So at last I have content on my Apple TV again. Only comment is that syncing is extremely slow, but at least it's working now.

I think your problem comes from unchecking the files. Unchecking will affect all devices synced with iTunes. Likely the easiest thing to do is edit the syncing method to sync selected playlists then manage the playlist contents.

Apple ID and iPhoto

Macbook Air is registered to my apple ID. Iphoto, garage band, imovie came on the laptop but somehow all linked to an apple ID no longer used and don't remember ID. I want everything inked together. How can I change those programs to my ID without re-purchasing them? Genius Bar has been unable to help.

iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Most Simple Back Up:
Drag the iPhoto Library from your Pictures Folder to another Disk. This will make a copy on that disk.
Slightly more complex: Use an app that will do incremental back ups. This is a very good way to work. The first time you run the back up the app will make a complete copy of the Library. Thereafter it will update the back up with the changes you have made. That makes subsequent back ups much faster. Many of these apps also have scheduling capabilities: So set it up and it will do the back up automatically.
Example of such apps: Chronosync - but there are many others. Search on MacUpdate or the App Store

New apple tv and iphoto slideshows

does anyone know if the new apple tv can stream existing iphoto slideshows as they appear in iphoto? the old one sort of did for a while then lost the feature. thanks

Hi Winston,
I'm on the road right now and only have my (gasp) windows laptop with me. I'll be back home on the weekend and I'll try to describe it then.
I'm an old iMovie fan, I bought a iMac SE partly because it came with iMovie (ver 1). My complaint is the pictures are much "softer" in iMovie and I assume that is as a result of the rendering of the still picture to video. I wouldn't mind a primer from someone on how they use iMovie to make a slideshow from photos and music to get the best possible results. My old 50" Sony TV only goes to 720P (which is the best Apple TV can provide anyway) but like I said the photos themselves look stunning but the music doesn't sync right when I use iPhoto slideshow on apple TV.
I love the simplicity and short time needed to create a slideshow in iPhoto, and would prefer a solution using it instead of iMovie.
Any and all tips hints are welcome.
Thanks Again,
Old Fogie

Can't sync with iCloud and iphoto

i have an iphone 4, fully updated with ios5 at its newest update whatever that is.
i just backed up my whole iphone to the cloud and then reset the whole phone and restored it from the cloud. so now everythign on my phone is from the cloud. i even bought itunes match.
my one problem is, now i can't sync iphoto with my phone. i usually like to have my iphone have my last 20 events from iphoto, but now that my whole phone is on the cloud, when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
i connected my phone to the computer and itunes popped up and it started syncing everything from itunes and replacing everything. so i had to stop it, and restore my whole phone again
it's so complicated. i just want to have my phone sync with the cloud, but i also want iphoto to sync with my phone, but it seems i can only do that through itunes, which i can't sync with itunes if i'm syncing with the icloud

Brad...
now i can't sync iphoto with my phone
You can sync from iPhoto.
Tap Settings > iCloud
Make sure Photo Stream is switched on.
when i connect it to my computer, it starts to sync from itunes instead of icloud, and then changes everything.
Once you have iCloud setup, there's no need to connect your iPhone to a computer and sync media using iTunes. Everything is synced via a W-Fi network.

How can I set up my Apple TV and iPhoto on my iMac so Apple TV can display pictures from iPhoto as a normal slideshow or as a Screen Saver?

I have an iMac and an Apple TV that is connected to the main iTunes library on the iMac. My Apple TV is able to find all the music, videos and pictures that are on the iMac's internal hard drive - presumably via iTunes (music and videos) and directly accessing the Pictures folder. So far, so good!
Recently, I have had to move a lot of my pictures to an external hard drive - and I had hoped that by 'importing' them into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them on the internal drive), I can still have my Apple TV "find" these pictures via iPhoto - and allow me to browse them as before or use them in my screen-saver.
However, while I can see them in iPhoto, my Apple TV seems to be unable to find them - and I am unable to see them on my TV.
So, is this even supported by Apple TV/ iPhoto? Is there some configuration I am missing? Or do I just need to boot up everything from scratch? Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you.
Mahesh

Thanks - I did not realize that Homesharing can be specifically set to a photo destination like that!
So, it would appear that I can either point it to iPhoto (and folders/ events within that) OR the default Pictures folder and subfolders of that OR any other specific folder (and subfolders of that) of my choice. However, I cannot select BOTH the default Pictures folder (and some subfolder of that) AND a folder in iPhoto AND/ OR an event/ folder in iPhoto. Is that a correct assumption?
If so, the only way I see getting homesharing to get both set of pictures is to get all my picture folders (internal and external drive based) into iPhoto (without physically duplicating them) - and then pointing Homesharing to iPhoto, right?
I think you have solved my issue - but I just want to be sure of that.
Thanks a ton!

Problem syncing apple contact and outlook

After updating my OS to Maverick, I noticed that my outlook 2011 no longer sync with my apple contact. Anybody who has the same experienced and any suggestions on how to sync this.
Need your HELP badly. Thanks in advance.

I have OSX 10.9.4
Running MS Outlook 14.4.3
Running Apple "Contacts" 8.0 (1371)
Running iTunes 11.3 (54)
New contacts entered in Outlook are not syncing over to Contacts.
In Outlook -> Preferences -> Sync Services have de-selected then re-selected Contacts (as well as all others, Calendar, Tasks, etc - but really don't care about them, just care about contacts). With shutdowns and restarts after each and also trying without shutdowns and restarts. Still, contacts that are newly entered in Outlook are not showing up in Contacts.
Have searched for the various .plist files to try and delete them as well as searching for “com.microsoft.outlook.XXXXX.plist” “com.microsoft.SyncServicesAgent.plist" com.apple.AddressBook.plist and com.apple.AddressBook.abd   Have not been able to find (and thus delete them).
Have tried this
    Force Quit Outlook
     Applications > Utilities > Activity Monitor
     Look for the Sync Services Agent under Process Name
     Highlight this process and click Quit in the upper left
     Close Activity Monitor
     Re-Start Outlook
Doesn't help (indeed "Sync Services Agent" doesn't seem to quit, ever. Even when selecting quit or force quit in Activity Monitor.
I need to get these new contacts that I created in Outlook to start syncing over to Apple's Contacts Program.

Apple Watch And iPhoto

Does the Apple Watch Work with iPhoto

Apple Watch syncs pictures with the photos on your iPhone NOT on the photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
It gives you several options of what photos to sync - or even none. The default setting is to sync all the Favorites from the Photos app (as I found out when I discovered there were actually photos on my Watch).

Syncing Apple TV and iTunes??

Hi -
I am having the worst time with my Apple TV. I am trying to sync it to iTunes on my laptop and not copy over shows that I have downloaded to my laptop. I have tried checking every variation of box on the iTunes menus to tell it not to do this, but everytime I hit the "sync" button it starts to transfer a show I do not want moved over.
Please help!!

You can only sync from one library but it also streams content that isn;t synced.
You can stream from up to four other libraries as well (or is it five? I can't work out if the one yuo sync from counts as one of the extra streaming libraries or not).
