Watching iPhoto album on ATV2

I created an album in iPhoto. When I watch thru ATV2 the photos appear in a completely different order. How can I watch the album via ATV with the photos appearing in the same order as in my iPhoto album on my macbook? Many Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Apple TV/iPhoto plays slideshows in chronological order, if you want your albums to display in another order, re-order the photos in iPhoto and batch change the date to reflect the order you want.

How to watch Iphoto albums on a remote TV

I have aprox. 20000 photos in my Iphoto, which I only watch as albums. In the albums view I can control the sequence of the photos as I want.
Observe, I do not watch the imported event (may contain several events in same import) to see the photos, and therefore I use the Iphoto albums to separate the different events in ame import.
I have a normal Sony LCD TV (not smart TV), and have a Mac with OS X (10.7.5) and Lion software, and i pretend to watch my photos via my local WiFi
to for example a "box" located beside my TV.
Is it possible?
Is it possible to remote control my Iphoto albums from another room, using my wireless mouse (the mouse reach the Mac from this room)?
Which Apple-equipment do I need to buy to do above?

I can basically mirror exactly what's on my mac screen on to the tv.
So your tv becomes your second monitor.
Which means you control your photos exactly as you want.
Here is a useful link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5404 but by the sound of it, you have to have a mid 2011 mac or later.
The only thing I haven't sussed out is how to play music during the slide show using iPhoto through the tv, which is odd because I can play music from my music library through the Apple TV using my ipad.
Make sure your wireless mouse works at your distance before you purchase. You may need someone to check the pointer is moving on the mac screen for you while your in the tv room lol.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV.

Videos in some iPhotos Albums do not show up on Apple TV. Videos in other folders are there. For instance, one album has 43 videos and 1600 photos. Apple TV only shows the 1600 photos. Is there an issue with albums that have both photos and videos?

You can only view that rental on the iPad. For it to show up it has to be rented directly on ATV or through a computer and streamed via home sharing

Restoring iPhoto from Time Machine. However iPhoto albums are not transfer

iPhoto albums are not transferring. I just have a bunch of photos with no albums/details/comments etc. I have done a few searches in support and have found similar problems but nothing like mine, which seems to be that I have a back up of all my photos in Time Machine but when I open Time Machine, I cannot simply select a previous restore date as I have been able to with everything else so far. I have tried dragging the whole iPhoto Library folder to iPhoto but again, end up with thousands of pictures with no albums... Any suggestions? Thanks.
It seems iPhoto is backed up but does not have several backups in Time Machine.

I think you may need to post this one on the Time Machine forum.
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1227
In later versions you can restore +to the iPhoto Library+, but as v6 predates Time Machine it's not possible to do that. Hence you need to restore an entire Library and open it.

2 things: iPhoto isn't automatically copying all my imported photos into an iPhoto album folder AND ever since i upgraded my MacBook 120GB to Snow Leopard, iTunes won't recognize my iPhone.

So i have a 120GB MacBook that's about 4 years old (just updated to Snow Leopard--been working in Iraq, i'm a little behind).
Never had a problem with it.
I also have an iPhone 4 which i've had for about a year (up-to-date software as of about a month ago).
Never had a problem with it.
I've had iTunes for years of course (up-to-date).
Never had a problem.
1.
Now my iTunes won't recognize my iPhone since the Snow Leopard update.
iPhoto will recognize my phone, but iTunes won't.
Went through all the preferrences and i can't find anything that isn't set properly.
iTunes Helper is used during startup.
Everything seems fine.
Any help?
2.
I use a WD external hard drive to back my Mac up every week or so.
I recently realized that half of my pictures from iPhoto are not copied to the external.
They haven't been transfering over.
So i snooped through my folders and as it turns out, iPhoto hasn't been copying the pictures i import from my iPhone to iPhoto and saving them as .jpg files in the pictures folder (or iPhoto album or whatever) like i think it's supposed to.
My pictures folder has approx half of all my pictures in it, meaning at some point (probably 2 years ago) iPhoto stopped making the file copies of my imported pictures.
I do not know why.
No idea how to fix it.
If i were able to fix that (with your help), would all the pictures that haven't been copied automatically copy to my pictures folder once i had the issue resolved or would there be a lot of dragging and dropping?
I've been clumsily and sloppily copying all my pictures to a new folder on my desktop and manually transferring that folder to a thumb drive (which i keep in my pocket) and my external (just so i have them in some form) in case my computer crashes or a mortar shell lands on my room and blows my computer up.
Can anyone please help me with any of this?
I can't just stoll down to the Apple store to ask the Genius Bar (I'm in Baghdad) and i don't have Apple Care so no one will help me on the phone when i call Apple.
Thanks so much.

hey mill1640,
Did you ever get your iPhone to register with iTunes? I just upgraded as well to Snow Leopard, and my my isn't recognized at all also.
If you did get this resolved, I would appreciate a little suggestion in the right direction.
Many thanks,
Josh

Won't sync all the photos in my iPhoto album...

Hi:
I had my 2G nano set to sync all 75 pics in one iPhoto album (pics of my kids, and that's the only album I had set to sync). As of this morning, only three of the photos - the most recent three - are on my nano.
All the most up-to-date iPod software is installed: iTunes 7.4.1; and iPod 1.1.3. I have iPhoto 6.0.6, with Keyword Manager 1.3.1 (build 1154).
I've reset my nano, but haven't done any of the ohter "r's."
Many thanks in advance,
Bill from CT

Weird. I tried again to sync the photos and I noticed the long, slow process starting all over again. Not too patient anymore with this. So I clicked the button to stop syncing and it skipped something and said "syncing photos". I got excited but was skeptical. After it finished, voila! my photo folders were on my iPhone. So, I guess the answer is with a total sync it doesn't work, but when I tried to cancel a sync it worked. Again...weird.

How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto Album into my Photo Stream?

How do I get photos in a specific iPhoto album into My Photo Stream so that I can use my Apple TV to show them in a slideshow on my TV?

That is not possible - PhotoStream has no organizational capability - no albums or other organization
With the correct software versions You can import from PS into an iPhoto event on your Mac either automatically (by setting the iPhoto preference to do that) or manually and then you can add the photos ot an iPhoto album and sync to Apple TV
what version of iPhoto do you have? Is OS X 10.7.5 correct for your OS?

How do I transfer iPhoto album to DVD or memory stick?

I am trying to transfer iPhoto album to DVD or memory stick and unable to figure this out. All suggestions would be helpful. Thanks in advance!

Export as Illaass recommended to a folder on the Desktop and then drag that folder onto the memory stick.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

Screen saver no longer respects iPhoto albums in 10.4.8?

System Preferences -> Desktop & Screen Saver -> Screen Saver offers a list of iPhoto albums. It used to be that the screen saver would display pictures from the selected album only. But now all my iPhoto pictures are rotated through the screen saver, regardless of album selection. The only thing I've changed AFAIK is the 10.4.8 upgrade. Any way to get the old behavior back?
(I've found other posts about problems with iPhoto and screen saver, but nothing addressing this precise problem.)
PowerMac Mac OS X (10.4.8) iPhoto 2.0.1

I just tried it, having also just updated (in fact I did about 12 updates all at once, including QuickTime, iPhoto 6.05 as well as the system update) and it worked as expected, just cycling thru the photos in the selected album.
I have seen cases in earlier versions of iPhoto and the OS where the screensaver wouldn't work when using System Prefs, but would it you selected it in iPhoto. Don't remember how the earlier version of iPhoto worked (I think there was a button in the toolbar at the bottom of iPhoto), the way it works in iPhoto 6 is very weird: you select an album, then select the photos, then go to the Share menu and select Desktop. It plasters all the photos onto your Desktop and launches the System Prefs where you can set the options for the Screensaver. You'll notice that instead of an album being selected there is a new folder in the top section called "iPhoto Selection." I then switched my Desktop back to its usual neutral gray and screensaver remained as I had set it. Truly goofy, but it might be worth a try.

Is there a way to remove duplicates from all iphoto albums at once rather than one by one

I have somehow copied many photos and want to clean up my iphoto albums. does anyone have info if this is possible.

1. There are 3rd party programs that do this...I don't know of any free ones. When I had this problem, I ended up deleting the duplicates, one by one, as I didn't have that many to deal with.
2. However when I asked this same question a long time ago, I was told a really nifty trick (for iPhoto 8).
First create a folder on the Desktop (I name mine "photos") and Drag/Drop or Copy the photos from the camera or source folder (could be on hard drive) into the Desktop folder named "photos". Then using iPhoto, import the photos from the Desktop folder. As it imports, iPhoto checks if the photos are duplicates and gives you choice to import the dupes or not. This has saved me countless times.

ITunes can't see photos in iPhoto albums

Hi everybody,
I've just got my iPad yesterday and I'm loving it.
Alas, I can't seem to sync my iPhoto albums. They display in iTunes correctly, they all have photos in (in iPhoto) but when I select them to sync across, it states that there are zero photos in the albums.
Its also the same thing with my iPhone as well. I've the 3G model and can't sync photos to that either.
Any ideas?
I've already tried deleting the iPod cache within the iPhoto folder in the hope that it would rebuild itself.
I've also tried creating a new album, and put photos in, but iTunes can't even see this, despite restarting my computer.
It seems that iTunes is displaying the albums, but not seeing the photos at all.
If anybody could help, that would be fantastic.
Cheers
Adrian
PS... I'm running a new 15" MacBook Pro, with Snow Leopard, latest version of iLife, with everything clean after a full new reinstall last week.

What is the format of the photos?

I set my iPhoto to save photos to a non-default location. Now I can't find my iPhoto albums in iTunes, even when looking in my non-default location in the "Sync Photos from" menu. How do I fix this?

When you launch iPhoto with the option key depressed you'll get this window:
Click to view full size
All libraries on your hard drive (and on external drives) will be listed and the currently used library will be listed as (default).

Can I put iTunes library and iPhoto albums on external hard drive?

How can I, if there is a way put my iTunes library and iPhoto albums on my external hard drive to free up space on my internal hard drive? If this can be done what are possible issues and do I just access them through my external drive when I need them. Can I sync my iPod to the external drive in order to deal with daily pod casts etc?
thanks,
Bill

How can I transfer photos in an iphoto album to a usb in the order they are in the album?

I just got a digital photo frame and want to transfer pictures from an iPhoto album in the order they are in the album. When I try and move them to a usb or card they are rearranged according to the number of the photo. How can I transfer them in the order they should be for an album or slide show?

Here's one (of several) way(s) to do what you want:
Make an Album of the photos, then drag the pics into your preferred order.
Then Photos Menu: Batch Change -> Set Title to Text "John's Birthday", for instance, and tick the box to append a number to each Photo. Now your photos are titled 'John's Birthday 001, John's Birthday 002 ... etc'
Then File -> Export and in the Export dialogue set the Filename to "Use Title"
Sort on Filename in the FInder and you end up with a folder full of images in the same order as the Album in iPhoto.
