Syncing Videos in iPhoto with Apple TV

In syncing iPhoto to iTunes both pix and videos taken on my iPhone sync up and I have checked the box, 'sync videos', in iTunes/Devices/iPhone/Photos tab. The pics come over to Apple TV without problem and I can view them thereon via My Photos. However, the video doesn't come across. Am I missing something or this not currently possible?

Hello, I have this problem. My Itunes Library is located on external drive. Where exactly should I place the file. Once in place what should be done next so the file can be accessed by ATV?
the location of the library is irrelevant really.
just import the file(s) into itunes using File > Add To Library.
if itunes is configured correctly then it will import to wherever your itunes library is hosted.
if the file(s) isn't already appletv compatible, then right click on the file and choose "create appletv version"

ITUnes not syncing video form iPhoto

Hi,
Since iTunes 10.1 has been installed on my iMac (with IOS 4.2.1) videos from iPhoto do not sync anymore, despite the setting in iTunes 'include video' being selected.
Anybody else experiences the same?
Thanks!
JP.

You may have figured it out by now. None of the resetting of the iPod or the rebuilding of the iPhoto library (command+option) or permission rebuilding works to solve a -208 error when the error refers to an iPhoto library sync with iTunes. Supposedly, this error occurs with corrupt AIFF files as well. This error will occur on different iPods which try to sync to the same iPhoto library. The iPhoto library is definitely corrupted. Mine was due to a sudden power loss.
NOTE: I do not "Copy files to iPhoto Library folder when adding to library" under Advanced iPhoto preferences, so that my photos don't have a chance of getting messed up (like error -208s). If you do, the steps below may be different for you. Always a good idea to back up your photos.
Here is how I fixed it. All the steps may not be necessary. Go to /pictures directory under your user (or wherever your iPhoto library is located), and rename the "iPhoto Library" or whatever you called it to something else, like "iPhoto Library 2". Open iPhoto, and it can't find the library, and asks if you want to find it or create a new one. Tell it to create a new one, and put at least a picture in the library. Sync with iPod, which should work without error and put the picture on your iPod. Close iTunes. Close iPhoto. Now, to save all your pictures (thumbnails) already in the iPhoto library, copy everything BUT "iPod Photo Cache" folder, which seems to be the culprit, from the "iPhoto Library 2" folder into the "iPhoto Library" folder. Open iPhoto, and all your pictures should now be in the library. Open iTunes and sync iPod, and all your pictures should sync out without error.

Can't sync videos from iPhoto to iPhone

My pictures sync fine, but can't get the videos I shot with my camera to sync to my iPhone. Size-wise, they are within the limits allowed. Any suggestions?

iPhoto should import them just fine. Have you tried repairing permissions on your Macbook, then re-booting & see if iPhoto will see & import them.

Lightroom and/or iPhoto with Apple TV (first 1st generation) integration/streaming

As a hobby Photographer I love using lightroom, Many times, I want to use apple tv to show the photos, or even just randomly browse them. Now the problem is, there isnt any (or I dont know about one, thats why im here ) easier or more automatic or integrated way to stream the library into the apple tv i have (first generation apple tv) than through iPhoto.
Now, I WANT to use lightroom for handling and editing photos (the editting options and organization/sorting of photos is just somewhere in different dimensions to iphoto)
But, I HAVE to use iPhoto for streaming to Apple TV.
Any Idea how I could do all this without manual import export between the LR and iPhoto?
I know lightroom can watch a folder and use automatic import but is that really the best way?
Thank you so much! Please let me know of any idea that pops into your head!
Thanks!
Ondrej

Sorry but you'll need to go back and forth: out of Lightroom and into iPhoto. Setting up a workflow of flagging and using Smart albums can make this easier. But basically, those images need to get into iPhoto to work with Apple TV. Have you considered using Apple's Aperture? Aperture integrates nicely with Apple TV. That's what I use. However, be warned that Aperture is a resource hog and requires more of the higher end processes to work really well, especially if you have large photo libraries. You'll want 8GB of RAM and a newer graphics card (basically a newer Mac) and higher end CPU. The minimum requirements that Apple says Aperture needs are minimal at best.

IPod Touch 2nd Gen Video Out Problem with Apple Component Cable

I'm trying to get video out working with my iPod touch connected to my TV. Here's the information.
32 GB iPod Touch 2nd Gen
Apple Universal Dock (current version.)
Apple Component Out cable for iPod (current version that connects with a dock connector.
I've connected the component cables into the component video input on my TV. When I start playing any video (purchased off iTunes store in Standard Def,) I get a scrambled picture that appears to be the video, and no sound. I purchased the TV in South Korea and haven't gotten to test it yet on a TV back in the US. I have my video out settings with wide screen turned off and set to NTSC (South Korea uses NTSC.) I've also tried every setting combination, and switching the cable connections with the same or similar results. Sorry if a similar problem has been posted elsewhere, but after searching, I couldn't find any similar behavior. Any ideas on what might be the cause? I don't have any other component devices to check if the component on the TV is bad.

I've got that same problem: iPod Touch 2nd Gen, Apple Component Cables, and an HD TV.
The funny thing is, the cable works fine with an iPod Classic (160 GB) but not for the iPod Touch. Can anyone explain why that is?

9.2.1 update can't scroll my videos in iphoto with trackpad

Since my update to 9.2.1 I can no longer scroll videos (fast forward or rewind with two fingers) with trackpad. I was able to do this with all videos in iphoto albums prior to update. Is there a setting or solution to this? Very dissapointed as this was my favourite feature of my mac!
Thanks, Mike

iPhoto 9.2.3 is incompatible with MacOS 10.9.3 Mavericks. If you are running Mavericks on your system you need to update iPhoto to 9.5.1. Only, the problem is, that this version is no longer available at the App Store.
The easiest way to get a compatible iPhoto version in that case would be to upgrade to Yosemite, MacOS X 10.10, and then download the most recent iPhoto version from the AppStore, iiPhoto 9.6, like LarryHN suggested.
If you cannot download iPhoto after upgrading to iPhoto 9.6 post back.

IPhoto with Apple TV2 on HDTV?

IPHOTO is organized but can it be seen in the same organized way with Apple TV2-HDMI to HDTV?

Just open up iTunes on the mac with the photos you'd like to see on ATV2. Click on the "Advanced" menu, then on "Choose Photos to Share...". From there you will be taken to a menu where you can select which albums you'd like to appear on ATV2.

Video Playback Issues With Apple TV3 Running OS8

I have two Apple TV3s (Both Pre 2013)
One updated today to the latest OS8, the other still running the previous OS7.1.2
Now when trying to play virtually any of my own MP4 videos the OS8 firmware version Apple TV3 refuses to play the file.
Apple TV simply displays "An error occurred loading this content" (retrying simply displays the same error again)
If I then use the second Apple TV3 (running the older firmware OS7.1.2) and try to play exactly the same files from the same iTunes library the file will play back correctly.
So far the OS8 Apple TV3 is unable to play over 95% of the video files it could previously play prior to the firmware update.
The odd file will play but these files are of differing resolutions so don't appear to share anything in common. It is always the same files that will or wont play.
All video files are Profile 4.0 or lower and contain the required audio tracks.
I am running iTunes 11.4.0.18 (Windows 8.1)
Prior to the update every video file played correctly (on both Apple TVs) and the second Apple TV3 (using the earlier OS7.1.2 firmware) still plays the exact same files correctly.
Music files are unaffected and playback correctly on both Apple TV3s.
The latest firmware update appears to have corrupted the video playback of the Apple TV3 in some way.
I have even tried a complete USB restore of the OS8 Apple TV3 but this has made no difference.
Has anyone else experienced MP4 playback issues since updating their Apple TV3 to OS8?
Thank you in advance.

After further tests it would appear that Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware is unable to play any video file with NO CHAPTER markers.
If I use MetaX to simply tag an unplayable MP4 file with a single chapter, that file will now play correctly using an Apple TV3 running Apple TV 7.0 (OS8). If the single chapter is then deleted the same file reverts to being unplayable.
In previous versions of Apple TV firmware any video file with NO CHAPTER markers could be played correctly and the Apple TV would automatically generate chapter markers at equally distributed time gaps.
For some reason Apple TV 7.0 (OS8) firmware appears to have removed this auto chapter marker feature so if a file has no chapter markers the Apple TV will now consider the file as invalid.
With MetaX it is possible to manually generate additional chapter markers so you can still skip through the file rather than only scan.
iFlick for Mac should I suspect be able to do the same thing.

Having issue with Syncing Events from Iphoto to Apple Tv

All of a sudden I have multiple events of the same title but different amount of photos when i try to sync my photos to apple tv. Iphoto is fine, nothing is changed but when I go over to itunes to sync I see like 10 different Events with same name. EVERYTHING is multiplied but there is no rhyme or reason to it. !!!!! Apple has done some system/app updates but they are so frequent that I don't ever pay attention to what is being updated I just click to allow the process. I believe this occurred after one of the updates, I have 2 Apple TV's AT1 and AT2. AT2 is a nightmare to begin with because it was constantly getting kicked off the network but now that isn't the issue. Now it isn't showing current syncs which doesn't make sense because I thought this one streamed everything directly. Either way---APPLE TV is having issues and I can't get my EVENTS straightened out, HELP!!!!!

I've also noticed this started happening... Its something with iTunes, because both my old Apple TV's and my iPhone and iPad all show multiple events for the same event... Lots of them! So many its hard to tell what to sync now. When I click on any of my devices photos tab in iTunes they are all exactly the same. Not sure how to fix it...

How do you get your iMac to show video (or mirroring) with Apple Tv...please help!

I have searched this forum, read the articles here and on Google and I still can't figure this out. Perhaps what I'm wanting isn't possible.
All I want to do is watch my CBS show from www.cbs.com on Apple Tv via my iMac. The Apple TV moniker is next to the volume in iTunes, and I can play music through Apple Tv via I-tunes and have it play on my TV. Thus, I know it is connected and working. I thought I could do a mirror screen like I do with the iPad, but for the life of me I can't find anyone who has covered the subject online.
Can someone tell me, step-by-step, how to show video from my iMac onto my Apple TV. Thanks so much!
Confused in the Lou

If the specs you included about your iMac model are correct, it will not support AirPlay mirroring. See About AirPlay Mirroring in OS X - Apple Support for more about this, including the list of supported models & required OS X versions.

Iphone 3gs no video to tv with apple cables and dock

i have a 80gig classic 5th gen which i use with the apple component dock and cables to watch videos on my tv.however to get it to work correctly i have had to use a 3 plug scart adaptor for the connection at the back of the tv. discarding the component green and red pb, pr cables and only using the audio and blue.
if i use the component connection as i am meant to then the picture is not very good and is in only shades of red and white.
i cannot get a picture from my nano 3 gen ipod or my new iphone 3gs no matter what arrangement i use.
i can confirm all the leads were bought in february this year including the dock with remote - all as detailed on the website suitable for use with both the new iphone and nano 3 gen.
i have checked and tried all the various combinations of the settings and connections to no avail.
i was going to buy a new classic 160gig but im now afraid if i do it wont work.
can anyone on this forum provide reasons why the nano and iphone wont tv out as meant to, the only thing i can think of, is that the leads have been upgraded without being advertised as so - and if true is very underhand by apple.
iphone, nano 3 gen, classic 5 gen Windows Vista

Not sure what the problem could be, but have you looked at the manual for the ipod touch? Maybe it can help.

Syncing photos in iTunes with Apple TV and iPod Classic

Hi:
I recently purchased an Apple TV and every since I got it when I sync my iPod Classic and the Apple TV with iTunes, iTunes optimizes all my photos again (3000+ photos). In other words, every time I sync, iTunes optimizes my photos, deletes them and re-adds them again to the iPod and the Apple TV. Any idea why it may be doing this? I mean it’s ok, it’s just time consuming every time I do a sync. This never happened before unless I will add new photos and in that case iTunes will optimize and add just the new ones not all of them.
Thanks for any advise you may have.
Manolo.

Anyone has any idea? Would this be related to the new iTunes update?
Thanks,
Manolo.

Recording videos from Internet, with Apple software or from another company

I know there's a way to record whatever sound is made by any application
with Audio Hijack.
Is there the video equivalent to Audio Hijack ? Does Apple make one?
For example: Suppose there's a video playing in youtube
or elsewhere on Internet through Safari, how
do I record the video part and save it?
There just has to be a way!
Thanks a lot.
Louis
P.S. I don't know a lot about youtube but:
1- Why is the quality so bad ? Is there a Hi Res YouTube?
2- Why don't people have the option to save
(copy, download) ?

HI,
*"Why don't people have the option to save copy, download"*
Most YouTube content is copyright protected thus illegal to copy.
The quality is only as good as the software/hardware that was used to create it.
Apple does not write any software like Audio Hijack.

Syncing Lightroom 5 collections with Apple TV

I recently upgraded from Photoshop Elements 9 to Lightroom 5, When I moved the catalogue over, all keywords transferred, and Albums became collections. When I used Photshop Elements, I could easily sync the Albums with my Apple Tvs to display the pictures, as well as my other Apple Devices. I can not figure out how to export the collections to the Apple devices, especially the Apple TVs. There must be a way given the power of this software. Please help.

I export from LR the photos I want on my Apple devices to subfolders of a parent folder "Apple Devices". (I have too many photos to put the entire catalog on my i-devices.)
For the Apple TV, set up Home Sharing with your computer, and do File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to select the parent folder (e.g. "Apple Devices"). Then on the Apple TV, you can do Computers > <your library> > Photos to browse the photos.
On i-devices, in iTunes select the device and then the Photos tab on the top menu bar. Check Sync Photos From, and in the dropdown, select Choose Folder to choose the parent folder "Apple Devices".

Can't sync photo from iPhoto to apple tv

I used to be able to select photos from iPhoto via iTunes to play on my tv with my Apple TV Generation #1. Now it doesn't work anymore.

I'm having this too, its doing my head in - I thought Apple was renowned for being stable and simplistic to get on with, appears itunes has just lost the ability to find photo's when i select 'select photo's to share'.. i just get a spinning thing while it thinks forever and it never actually finda anything to enable me to select.
I tried a few solutions and one time it did find my aperture library (Although I wanted my iphoto library but this wasn't selectable) and when I selected it it said there were no photo's!? (I have about 3000 photo's in my iphoto library which is merged with Aperture)
This used to 'just' work, but appears since updating to Mavericks (Just a guess) this feature has either been disabled or there's a bug.
Apple Heeellllp!
