Trouble with photo sharing preferences in iTunes

My apple TV is not recognising my home sharing for photos.  It's fine to recognise music, tv, filmes etc but not my iphotos library.  This has only been happening over the last month or so and I think it was since I upgraded to a newer versiou on itunes.
In itunes I go to file > homes sharing > choose photos to share with apple tv .......
the Photo Sharing Preferences box then opens but then I just get is the spinning cog showing it's trying to connect but nothing happens and all I get is a continuous blank screen with the spinning cog in the middle and greyed out "revert" and "apply" buttons at the bottom.
My photo library is on an external hard drive but this was not a problem previously.
Anyone any ideas on how to reconnect my iphoto to the itunes photo sharing preferences?

... the spinning wheel sydrome - someone must have some answers; I am reading all about this in so many places and no-one has a solid solution to remedy - anyone - just someone?

  • Trouble with Photo Sharing in Elements 9?

    PSE 9 only seems to send about 1 in 5 of my attempts to mail a photo attachment or photo mail.  It's very frustrating.  Every time I try to send an email, it appears to work and shows it uploading to 100% but then, like I said, only 1 in 5 actually get delivered to the email addresses I select.  Because it sends out some things, I know it can work. What I can't figure out is why it won't work all the time.  Is there some trick or requirements I don't know about?  I tried shrinking the size of the photos until they were only about 35 kb and it worked, but when I shrunk them again the next time, it didn't.  Plus it seems silly to have to shrink photos that small because the quality of the photos is so bad at that point, they almost aren't worth sending. 

    try refreshing your services from Edit->Preferences , also you can try reseting your account settings.
    This might help you.

  • I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11.

    I'm having trouble with the repeat function on iTunes 11.  The buttons are there but will not allow me to repeat an album when selected under artist from remote app on iPhone.  I have downloaded the update for the remote app but the repeat function now repeats all albums under that artist name.  Selecting the album directly under albums works but is not as easly to access.  Any thoughts?

    Sorry, downgrading is not supported.

  • Has anyone had trouble with photo albums after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

    Has anyone had trouble with photo albums and viewing photos after downloading a newer version of iPhoto?

    I downloaded mountain lion and then iPhoto '11 in order to tap into iCloud capabilities with all of my devices. (My Mac was outdated in regards to operating platform to do this). After installing iPhoto 11, I had to repair and rebuild my library of photos.  However, after doing this, all of my albums were jumbled and, while I can see the image thumbnail, when I click on the thumbnail, and error that looks like a black triangle and gray exclamation pops up as opposed to the larger hi def image I want to view.

    trouble with my home sharing after apple tv up date

    Same here. iPhone, Mac Mini and Apple TV3 are all up to date. Logged in and out on each device and home sharing and airplay still don't work at all. Nothing shows up in the remote app. They're all on the same network and have been. The only thing I can think of is the most recent ATV firmware update, but why would my phone be unable to see my computer??
    Any secret commands to try?

  • Trouble with Screen Sharing

    I am having trouble getting screen sharing to work. Video/audio chat works fine without incident. When I attempt to start a screen sharing session I get the error: "Failed to start Screen Sharing because: Screen sharing could not be established."
    Screen sharing is enabled under the "Sharing" System Preferences section.
    Below is the errors that were logged to the console:

    Also are the ports for iChat open in any modem or router ?

  • Trouble with Home Sharing/Airplay from Mac

    I am having an issue trying to access my computer through 2nd gen Apple TV. The software on the device is up to date. I am running OS X Mountain Lion on my MacBook Pro with up to date iTunes. I am trying to watch a video in my iTunes library but it will not let me access my computer with home sharing. I have made sure that both devices have home sharing turned on and using the correct account. I am also unable to access my iTunes library with my iPad or iPhone. I have done this successfully in the past so I'm not sure what is causing this. Oh, it also wont let me airplay from iTunes on my Mac to the apple tv.
    Thanks,
    Matt

  • Issue with Photo sharing

    How do I share photos in a way that they are not deleted from my i cloud if I inactivate i cloud from a device?

    Hello Omidfromca,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    How long are iCloud Photo Sharing photos and videos stored in iCloud?
    The photos and videos you share (and the comments or likes associated with those photos) remain in iCloud until you or the contributor delete them manually, or until you delete the shared album completely.
    This is from the following article:
    iCloud Photo Sharing FAQ - Apple Support

  • Issue with Photo Sharing on iPhoto on Mac

    Hellp everyone, this is my first time posting on the Apple Support communities. I have been having issues with my Photo Sharing on my Mac (Iphoto 11). I recently was on vacation and wanted to share the photos with my girlfriend and a few family members. I uploaded my photos to Iphoto on my mac and then went to Share, Photo Stream, and then crated a Photo Stream of our vacation. It asks me to name the photo stream and invite people. When I click on ok it creats the photo stream and the people I invited get invitations to join the photo stream, however, when I go to look at the photo stream there is no photos in it and none of the people i invited see any of the photos either. Any help would be greatly appreciated!! Thank you!

    SOLVED!
    I had the same question.  Visited this thread and was disappointed to hear the feature was gone.
    Then I thought it just COULDN'T be.  So I kept tapping.  AND FOUND IT!
    Basically, when you are in your Photos App, as a previous poster said, it now divides your photos into "Moments".  These moments are arragned by Place and Date.
    Wherever it says the name of a place, just tap the name of the place (above the tiled thumbnails of the pics taken in that place) and you will be taken to a map, centered on the Moment in question.  Use finger gestures to zoom in and out, and you will see the pics you have taken, georeferenced and tagged to the locations you took them, as before (except now in IOS7 it uses Apple Maps, not Google).

  • In August installed PE12  on Windows Vista with incorrect Sharing Preference for Email Client. Shows default Adobe Email Service How do I change it to Windows Mail?

    Had PE6 previously to installing PE12 on Windows Vista.  PE 12 installation went OK except for the Sharing Preference for the Email Client. Existing  PE12 client is the default Adobe email service not the correct Windows Mail for Vista. How do I make this change..

    Hi,
    I think that for PSE 12, you may need to switch to Windows Live Mail
    http://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=29224
    You may find that you then also need the following fix.
    Freeze or error “There is no email program” | Share via email | Elements Organizer | Windows 7
    I think that the problem is that the new versions of PSE do not know where to look for the mail client.

  • I shared a video with photo sharing and now it's no longer there.  Why?

    I took a video and then used photo sharing. When I went to go look at it later on, it was no longest there. My family received the notification and then could not access it either.  Thoughts???

    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: command+Shift+F).
    You see the orange Firefox button if the menu bar is hidden (View > Toolbars).
    If the menu bar is hidden then press the F10 key or hold down the Alt key to make the menu bar appear.
    Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars" or "Firefox > Options"

  • Trouble with photos taking up double space on iPhone

    Had to reinstall Windows 7 today. I have iTunes on one drive and all my media on another. Done this a few times and always just synced moved the folders about & synced with no trouble. Today has been a nightmare and what took 30 mins to sync photos to my iPhone 6 on Friday, has so far taken at least 3 hours and double the space has been taken up.
    I can't see any duplicates on my pc or phone. On iTunes it was showing 25gb for 'other' which is the same size as my photos. Not sure what it reads now as I can't click anything until it finishes. But my iPhone is showing way too much on the photos section. Can anyone help please?!

    Nobody? The photos show as 22gb when viewing my iPhone on iTunes and 'other' 25gb. on my iPhone, photos show as 47gb. The day before they were about 25gb on my iPhone.Definitely not right!
