TS2972 no photo slideshow on Apple tv3

Have set up recently purchased apple tv 3 - set up home sharing and selected photos to share from itunes. These load fine, show up individually on the apple tv, but no image appears when selecting slideshow.
Sometimes the screen shows loading and pinwheel, then this freezes, otherwise the screen is blank.
All photos appear loaded in photo screen and individually enlarge when selected.
Screensaver doesn't work at all, unless 'Floating' mode selected.
Any solutions to this?

I had this exact same problem with my 3rd generation Apple TV up until yesterday. I also have a 2nd generation Apple TV which wasn't having the problem and was able to display photo slideshows.
Just in case anyone else is still having the same problem. The solution for me was to restore my Apple TV to factory settings.

Why Does Apple TV3 Slideshow Display iPhotos in Incorrect Order?

I have an Apple TV3 connected to my Mac running OS X 10.9.3. The Apple TV3 is connected wirelessly to the Mac. I have several questions:
Why can I not show Slideshows I have created in iPhoto on my Mac on the Apple TV3? I can only show iPhoto Albums from the Mac on the Apple TV. I have spent considerable time preparing a large number of iPhoto Slideshows and am frustrated and disappointed that they cannot be shown on my TV. Apple did not mention this lack of capability in their advertising, saying that slideshows can be shown seamlessly from the Mac to the TV. Is there any way to show iPhoto Slideshows on the Apple TV3??
When I use the 'slideshow' application on the Apple TV3 to view the photos in iPhoto Albums, pictures will randomly show up out of order. I cannot tell if there is a structure to the appearance. Sometimes a photo from day 4 of a trip will randomly show up on day 1, while later a photo from day 2 will show up again on day 6. Again, this is very frustrating when showing photos to family and friends, the prime reason why I bought the Apple TV3. Why is this random display occurring? How do I stop it?
I have videos from my cameras inserted into the Slideshows and Albums in iPhoto, which run as intended on my Mac without any problems. However the videos will not show up on the 'slideshow' in Apple TV3. Again, why not, and is there a way to show them on the TV?
I am a computer layperson, so I would greatly appreciate a response in simple English, without the jargon, if possible. I quite often have difficulty in understanding the responses in the threads for other topics.
Thank you in advance for any responses.

Actually, this is incorrect. You must have a direct reference to the component instance to access the clientId. Filling in a String value that matches the for="..." attribute in h:message does not work. Furthermore, since UIComponent.getClientId requires a FacesContext instance argument, you end up with something like this:
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().addMessage(
this.getComponent().getClientId(
FacesContext.getCurrentInstance()
new FacesMessage( "This is not I18N!")
V/s this:
this.getComponent().addMessage( "i18nKey");
I do agree that JSF needs some input to get better. Hence this post.

Apple TV3 - Home Sharing Photos

Hi all,
I would like to share photos with apple TV3 via iTunes "privat release".
On apple TV3 the option is available to take photos.
It tells that it has to be configured via iTunes/Erweitert/Fotos für Bereitstellung auswählen.
I marked the folders with the photos to share, but unfortunately the access via applte TV3
is not possible.
Is there anybody with an idea?
Thanks in advance

It's a standard JPEG file. It's bizarre - I copied that file alone to iPhoto and changed my Apple TV photo sharing preferences to point at the iPhoto application. Worked fine.
Reverted the sharing settings back to the original folder location with all my 5,000 or so photos in and it also worked fine. Seems that a simple 'reboot' of the settings has resolved the problem.

Apple TV3 screensaver photos

I have an apple tv3 and my screensaver photos are from a folder on my laptop, which just crashed. My photos still display on the screensaver however. Is there any way I can retreive those photos to put them back on my new computer?

Unfortunately not.

TS2972 cannot see photos on my apple tv, can anyone help?

Cannot get photos to appear on my apple tv

For the avoidance of doubt, whilst you may be sharing photos, have you actually any photos selected to share. Also where are you looking for the photos on your Apple TV they should be under the computer option on the main page once you log into your library.

How to display a photo slideshow in Widescreen 16x9 format?

I just bought a 5g iPod and the A/V connection kit. I can play a photo slideshow on my 16x9 TV, but it stretches the photos to fit the screen, so they are out of proper aspect ratio. Is there a way to tell my iPod that it should be displaying the photos on a 16x9 screen?
I understand that there is a widescreen option in the Video playback menu, but this does not seem to have any effect on the output of photo slideshows.

Jon,
See if this works. It may or may not.
Go to videos-->video settings-->Widescreen-->On
See if now when you play the photo slideshow it works right.
Now, if it doesn't then I don't think there is much you can do.
Tell Apple about the issue (if the steps above don't solve it)

I can't seem to get my iPod touch (4th Gen) to play photo slideshows or videos through my TV. Is this a design flaw? Or is it me? My old iPod used to do it no problem, but now I can't even find any video out options in the settings.

HT3798 On iPod 160gb - how can I view album art full screen like in the menu half screen or photo slideshows?

I remember responding to an apple customer satisfaction survey in 2009, when I purchased my iPod Classic. I suggested it should be possible to have album art viewed in full screen like in photo slideshows or how album art is presented on half the screen when the menu is navigated to the 'music' list. Does anyone know if apple has created an iPod Classic software update which includes this glaring omission?

The progress bar is not the iPod disconnecting from the PC but rather the iPod reading in the library database from it's hard drive. It's safe to disconnect when told to.

How to create a photo slideshow in imovie 11

describe how to create a 200 photo slideshow from the start using imovie 11 with titles, transitions and music and then burn it to a dvd

iMovie is to edit movies; creating a slideshow is easier in iPhoto. When finished, you can then move it to iMovie or iDVD to create a cool menu/theme and burn it.
Here is a link to Apple support - I searched for "how to create a slideshow in iPhoto":

A much better alternative would be Photo to Movie (not free) - it does everything you want:

IPhone 4 HDMI output for photo slideshow. Aspect ratio squished?

Bought the Apple Digital AV Adapter and tested it today. Hooked it up via an HDMI cable to a little HD TV. Videos (YouTube or in Photo Gallery) display as they should, in widescreen just as they do on the screen. However, when I start the photo slideshow the photos are squished to the center. A full landscape photo that takes up the whole iPhone screen is squished into a square in the center of the screen. Vertical pictures are also squished to the center, distorting the ratio. When the slideshow comes to a video in my library, it displays correctly.
I talked to Apple by chat and phone and they hadn't heard of this. Can't find anything on the web. I am running the newest iOS 5. There aren't any settings to adjust the video output in settings. If the videos were squished also it would make sense...but they aren't so it doesn't.
Anyone have any ideas?

thanks for the tip, i am extremely frustrated with imovie right now. i have a slideshow of a wedding i went to that i desperately want to share but i cant export to a good enough quality. does that export setting put the video in a format you can use on youtube or vimeo?
thanks!

Photo slideshow app?...

Hi all,
I'm after an app which can create some very simple photo slideshows, but with a few specific functions.
a) I want to be able to change to the next photo manually by a click - I'm not interested in being able to set a certain time, but manually change it (more like with Keynote, for example).
b) In addition to this, I was hoping to be able to animate some slides ever so slightly w/ a Ken Burns-style effect.
I've looked into the o obvious choices (i.e. iPhoto, Keynote), but they both come with some drawbacks for my needs:
I am unable to create a slideshow with which I can manually change the photos when I please - I can only set pre-determined times. This is because the Export format is a mov, so it'd clearly not be possible like this.
Keynote is the other option, as it does allow you to manually change slides/photos with a click. However, as I am after the ability to create a slight animation on some photos (a-la Ken Burns), Keynote has two really annoying features:
1) Although it doesn't have a Ken Burns animation built in, you can sort of create your own. But for some reason, you are unable to loop this. This means that once the animation is finished, it will be motionless until I change the slide.
2) If I purposely set the animation duration higher than it will need to be, I'm not able to interrupt that animation to move to the next slide before the animation duration is complete. This means that said slide could end up being on for too long.
One way around this, I have found, is to export a slideshow from iPhoto with just 1 photo in it, w/ the Ken burns effect. I can then import this movie into Keynote, and set that to loop. This way it will continue w/ the motion forever until I interrupt it (which is possible this way). This, however, seems extremely long-winded, and I'm worried about clogging the slideshow up with lots of large files.
I'm sure there must be a more suitable app out there, but I have so far failed to find it. Anyone have any suggestions?!
Many thanks,
Steve

Photo slideshows

Ok, here's the problem.
I've put all my pictures in slideshows on iphoto and assigned them music. The music works fine with the slideshow on
apple tv but the slideshow skips through pictures too fast and the slideshow repeats.
These problems persist no matter what i try to do to change the settings. For example, i've tried changing the slideshow speed in the photo slideshow settings on apple tv but the speed does not change. I've also tried changing the speed in the slideshow on iphoto but again the speed of the slideshow does not change. Same goes for setting the "repeat" to "off." It just repeats anyway
Is anyone else having the same problems or is it just me??

Your probem sounds similar to what I was exeriencing with iPhoto Slideshows and my ATV. On my MacBook the music and slideshow played perfectly. On my ATV one slideshow plays fine, with others the slideshows ends, before the music is over and both stop out of sync. Checked all the settings on the slideshow that works, against those that would and everything was the same. Very strange....

Photo slideshows for iDVD - iPhoto or iMovie?

I posted before because I encountered errors when I created a DVD that incorporated photo slideshows and movies. The slideshows were created in iDVD and the movies in iMovie. The dvd was full, and on the one occasion that the burn was "successful", the photos for the menus were randomly re-arranged (and the audio for one movie was assigned to the wrong video). On other occasions, I encountered the dreaded multiplexing error (format error after 5 1/2 hours of encoding). I understand from some of your comments that my DVD is too packed (14 menus and submenus, 9 slideshows, 15 short movies) to encode properly. So I am starting all over and will try to simplify it this time. My question is: which application is best to make slideshows - iPhoto or iMovie? Is one application more stable than the other and less likely to encounter encoding issues? These photos and videos are from a 10 day family trip and I can't really eliminate anything but bells and whistles. Any advice is appreciated - I am grateful that there are so many experienced users willing to help novices like me.

My question is: which application is best to make slideshows - iPhoto or iMovie?
From what I read in the Apple Discussions and my own observations, it seems that both iMovie and IDVD, along with iPhoto, have their strengths and weaknesses. This is what I have found so far:
The default Ken Burns effect in iPhoto is much more pleasing than the one in iMovie. In iPhoto, the zoom and pan are varied; in iMovie, the effect is simply a zoom in. The iMovie Ken Burns effect can become very tedious when applied to a large number of photos. To vary the effect manually can also be a very time-consuming.
iMovie has the advantage providing a means to add text to the photos with a variety of special effects. I haven't found this option in iDVD. With iMovie it is possible to edit music. I have read a few posts that stated the iDVD will produce a better quality image when imported directly from iPhoto as opposed to one created by iMovie.

I hope this helps.
