TS2972 Apple TV and photo library

I have 1080p Apple TV and am running windows 7 with iTunes and have had home sharing working on my wifi with Apple TV for months. I have just added new photos to the library and put them on my iPad but Apple TV won't display them. I have restarted iTunes. Restarted the computer. Sync home sharing. They still don't display. The photos are in a folder the same as all the others and I can see all the old ones not the new ones.
Looking online I'm not the only one to have this problem. Sort it out apple as Apple TV is not fit for sale as it dose not work as you advertise.

I also asked if computer was on and running iTunes, if all was up to date. I assume you have not done any troubleshooting so check out the tips

    Use your wife's phone to AirPlay the music to the Apple TV.

  • HT201317 Differences of Camera Roll, Photo Stream and Photo Library on iPhone?

    I use my iPhoto exclusively as my camera at hand and that means I have tons of photos. What is the difference between Cameroll, Photo Stream and Photo Library?  It seems that my Photo Stream has images that can be deleted ( a trash bucket icon) whereas the tech support and my local Mac store said the Photo Stream images are the ones that will be sent to iCloud and should not have the bucket.  Whereas my Photo Library is not deletable? Whats is this all about and how can I make it right so I may manage my images correctly?

    Camera Roll, all the picture you have taken with your iPhone. They are include in the iPhone Backup but should be transfered to your iPhoto Library on the computer for a better back up. Just like in the old days with a film camera, the is like you iPhones roll of film.
    Photo Stream is iCloud's way of sharing your photos between your devices. It is not permanent storage for photo's limited to 1000 photos and can be deleted automatically in 30 days. It is a handy way to veiw photos on an Apple TV and other iOS devices or a quick and simple way to transfer them into iPhoto on your computer with out having to connect your iPhone to the computer. These photos are not backed up other than being visible on all your devices.
    The Photo Library contains all the photos you synced from your computer. They are not in any part a part of iCloud or it's back ups. Since these photos come from your computer they should be backed up using it's backup routine. These photos should be managed using iTunes to add and remove them.
    Take a picture with your iPhone, the new photo will end up in Camera Roll and Photo Stream. Copy that photo to your iPhoto Library on the Mac either by connecting your iPhone or select the photo in Photo Stream in iPhoto and it will get copied back to your iPhone in it's Photo Library. Once in the Library and a more stable backup routine you are able to detele it from the Camera Roll to clean it up. The Photo Stream copy could be deleted or leave it there for viewing on other devices that may not have access to your iPhoto Library. I suspect we may be able to share Photostream.

  • Import music and photo library from i pad to mac book pro

    i had a problem with the hard drive of my mac book pro and sold all conents. I now want to put the music and photo library and import it on the mac. it does not allow me to do it. what is the best way to do it so i have my library again on the mac books?

    You should be able to copy iTunes purchased music back via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, but for music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs), and if you don't have a copy of it anywhere else, then you will need a third-party program to copy it back from your iPad - there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy it : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    If you've changed the hard-drive on your Mac you may also find this page for syncing to a new computer useful : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    For photos, if they were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then on a Mac you can use Image Capture, iPhoto or Aperture to copy them off : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to an iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • When I synch a file "best photos" via iTunes to my iPhone I get two identical files - "best photos" and Photo library.  I don't know why

    When I synch a file "best photos" via iTunes to my iPhone I get two identical files - "best photos" and Photo library.  I don't know why

    All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library.
    When transferring multiple albums or a single album, the photos in the albums below are not duplicated as in taking double the storage capacity for the photos. Photos in an album or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library.
    This way you can view the photos in an album only by selecting the album, or all photos in all albums by selecting Photo Library. Makes more sense when transferring multiple photo albums from your computer but the same applies when transferring a single album or folder of photos.
    The same applies to iTunes playlists. A song placed in a playlist is not duplicated.

    I successfully synched photos from my mac book iphoto to my new iphone 5 (icloud did not do the job).  Now these photos appear on my phone in three places--iphoto app, last import, and photo library.  Does that mean that they take up three times the memory?  Will that affect iCloud?  Sorry for the end-user questions!!

    HHi, thank you for the reply. I have checked my iPad and iPhone and neither has iCloud Photo Library (Beta) enabled. Turned off in both. Photostream is turned on.
    i tried to sort it out  by dragging all the photos to Events on the Mac and then deleting them from iCloud - (left hand side of iPhoto under the section 'Shared'). the photos now show up in Events. I did force quit but the issue remains. The message reads ' photos are bing imported to the library. Please wait for import to complete.'
    i can't empty iPhoto trash either. The message read "Delete error. Please wait for import to complete.'
    WHen I was moving the photos to the Events I always had a message about duplicates - to the effect that the photos already existed, did I want to import them? I clicked on Yes, import all duplicates. But when it showed the images - duplicates side by side - one showed the photo and the other was blank.
    I really don't know what to do! And I don't know how to handle my iOS devices. Is it to do with the large number of photos? Any help, advice appreciated.

  • Iphoto and photos library

    I have updated to OS X 10.10.3 and moved onto photos from iPhotos....but in checking my hard disk, now I have iPhoto library and Photos library.
    Should I keep both on my drive?
    Why did Mac not automatically delete iPhotos library after successfully upgraded to Photos?
    Is there any issue if I delete the iPhotos library?
    Thanks

    Because that is not how it works - and although it looks like two libraries there is only one set of photos - with hard links so they both look like they are the same size
    There is no issue if you delete the iPhoto library except you save very little space and make going back to iphoto impossible in case you would want to

  • I uploaded my photos to my computer.  I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone.  I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.

    I uploaded my photos to my computer.  I now have all my albums and photo library on my phone.  I cannot get the off my phone and cannot take pictures on my camera.

    Connect your phone back and resync except this time uncheck all the albums from itunes when you sync. This will take all the albums off your phone and clear up space on your phone.

  • Best Practice for very large itunes and photo library..using Os X Server

    Ok setup....
    one Imac, one new Macbook Pro, one Macbook, all on leopard. Wired and wireless, all airport extremes and express'
    have purchased a mac mini plus a firewire 800 2TB Raid drive.
    I have a 190GB ever increasing music library (I rip one to one no compression) and a 300gb photo library.
    So..question Will it be easier to set up OS X Server on the mini and access my itunes library via that?
    Is it easy to do so?
    I only rip via the Imac, so the library is connected to that and shared to the laptops...how does one go about making the imac automatically connect to the music if i transfer all music to the server ?
    The photo bit can wait depending on the answer to the music..
    many thanks

    I have a much larger itunes collection (500gb/ 300k songs, a lot more photos, and several terabytes of movies). I share them out via a linux server. We use apple TV for music/video and the bottleneck appears to be the mac running itunes in the middle. I have all of the laptops (macbook pros) set up with their own "instance" of itunes that just references the files on the server. You can enable sharing on itunes itself, but with a library this size performance on things like loading cover art and browsing the library is not great. Please note also I haven't tried 8.x so there may be some performance enhancements that have improved things.
    There is a lag on accessing music/video on the server of a second or so. I suspect that this is due to speed in the mac accessing the network shares, but it's not bad and you never know it once the music starts or the video starts. Some of this on the video front may be the codec settings I used to encode the video.
    I suspect that as long as you are doing just music, this isn't going to be an issue for you with a mini. I also suspect that you don't need OSX server at all. You can just do a file share in OSX and give each machine a local itunes instance pointing back at the files on the server and have a good setup.

  • HT3819 Apple TV shared photo library

    Using 1st generation Apple TV, with Windows 7 PC. Some of my photo albums appear on Apple TV under 'my photos' but other albums require me to open the 'shared library' to access them. The photos are all stored in 'My photos' library on the PC. How can i have all my photos accessible via the 'my photos' library on the Apple TV?

    This has been driving me mad as well.
    Having finally got round to properly sorting and organsing everything in iPhoto (I've been scanning hundreds of old slides, so that's forced me to organise myself!), it's been infuriating to see Apple TV (Gen 3 if that makes a difference) display them in a very odd order - based, I think, as others have said, on "modified" date, over which I have no control.
    My work around is to change the "Sort" order in iPhoto.
    iPhoto is setup with a series of Folders (one per year) and, in each folder, a handful of Albums.  There is always a "General" album for the year for most photos, plus one or two others for major holidays.  So, for example, I'll have a 2012 Folder, and in it, Albums called "General 2012", "London 2012". 
    Makes sense to me anyway!
    Within each Album, photos are sorted by date - if the date was not correct, or it makes sense to change the order, I've changed the date.  Which is where it all goes awry for Apple TV.
    What I've now done is to batch-change the "Title" - which reflects the Album name, and, when I do this, selecting the "Append a Number to each photo" tick box.  So, the titles of each photo will be "London 2012 - 001", "London 2012 - 002" etc. I then change the "Sort Photos" order under the View menu to be "By Title" (it will have changed to "Manual" if you've moved photos around).  Nothing changes in iPhoto, as that's the order they were in anyway, but Apple TV now displays them in the correct order.
    This seems to be working.
    I'll keep the date organised as well, as if that's wrong iPhoto slideshows go awry!
    Hope that helps somebody,
    Colin

  • Missing Sound and Music Library and Photo Library

    A student of mine came across this issue. She installed a clean 10.7 FCPX on her Snow Leopard system. Her Sound Library is empty...not even an option for looking in her itunes library. Her photo library is also empty. I've tried adding her folders to fcp via drag and drop, in an effort to get it to "reindex" the files to no avail. The search bar in both is empty so it isn't searching for " " and coming up with nothing. The sound files are exactly where they need to be under the apple folder in the library. What is going on?! I've seen this question posted before with no answers. Anyone know of one? I've attached the frightening photos.

    that was not what I was suggesting... But come come to think of it... who know what would happen ? Perhaps worth a try.
    Perhaps you could try to repair the disk permissions.
    Also perhaps try to delete any cache in
    Users/Account-In-Question/Library/Caches
    Then delete the FCPx preferences from her user folder...
    After that "Reboot WITH shift button held" THEN log in. After that do a normal reboot and log in and check

  • The difference between Camera Roll and Photo Library

    I am a bit confused.  I have, on my iPhone, pictures in 3 places: Camera Roll, Photo Library, and Photo Stream.  I am not sure why iPhone make these distinctions but I want them all to end up in one place: my iMac central photo library.
    I  only have 3 devices, an iPhone an iPad and a desktop iMac.  I manually sync my photos to my computer from my iPhone, and do not really worry that all photos get to all devices immediately.  My question is this: How do I make sure ALL the photos from my iPhohe end up in my 'main' photo library on my iMac? Without causing duplicates.   It seems like some of the iPhone photo storage locations sync and some do not; occasionally I get a ton of duplicates.  It is confusing and I was hoping someone could help me streamline it. I know the iCloud is trying to make things easier, but sometimes it does not seem that way
    Thanks!

  • My iPhoto images won't show, and Photo Library Repair will not open when I command-Option-click on the iPhoto icon.

    Some of my iPhoto albums will not show, as below:
    When I click on any of those individual albums, for a brief split second I can see the images displayed, but then they revert to this:
    Then if I click on any of those images, this image appears:
    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening. Each time I do it, iPhoto just opens as it normally does. I've tried about 10 times, closing iPhoto completely. I've tried through the dock icon and through the applications listing. Neither will open anything other than regular old iPhoto.
    Can anyone help me and suggest what I may be doing wrong, or are there any alternative was to open Photo Library Repair so I can rebuild my library? I really don't want to lose all of those photos, especially since some are really important and irreplaceable.
    Thanks.

    I have real a lot of posts that say to click Command+Option while opening iPhoto and this will open the Photo Library Repair window, but... this is not happening.
    Be sure you're holding the correct keys and that you're holding them long enough. Depress them before clicking on iPhoto and don't let go until the menu shows up.
    If you don't want to lose those photos, make a back up now. Hopefully it's not too late.

  • HT201302 Old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I plug into my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up photos in the camera roll. There were more photos on albums and photo library on the iphone that arent showing up in iphoto and icapture.

    My old iphone 3g has photos on it. When I try to get the photos off and onto my imac iphoto and image capture only bring up the camera roll. I have more pictures that arent on the camera roll there are albums and a photo library full of pictures that I want off of this dang phone. I have tried everything and I cant email them to myself because the service has been cut off of the phone. They are stuck on the phone there is there any way to get them off? Am I missing something.

    The iphone is not a storage/backup device.  It simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.
    Again, the photo sync is one way.
    Did you fail to maintain a backup copy of your old computer?
    Not good.  You can e-mail the photos from your iphone.  You do not need to have phoe service for this.  The iphone uses wi-fi.  The photos will never be of the original quality, as they are reduced when synced to iphone.

  • Apple TV and iPhoto Library

    Since I have dowloaded the latest update to Apple TV,  I now find that I cannot access my photo library from "Computers".    When I do this, all I get is the iTunes library.   Does anyone know if I need to change any settings or has this feature been withdrawn?  I cannot use the mirroring feature because my iMac is a late 2009 model.

    Thanks IPuzzled1,   I tried this but it does not work for me.    I have since discovered that the problem is with iPhoto following update to version 9.4.   Other posts on these support forum are saying there is a bug in this update. As a result of the bug, the iPhoto library does not appear in the itunes library.  It seems the problem is not with Apple TV but the iPhoto.   I suppose I shall have to wait unitl Apple release a fix to this bug.
