When I try to watch my photos on apple tv they show up out of order

I watch my photos through Apple TV however they are not in the same sequence as on my computer. Why??

Hi donmac17,
Welcome to the Support Communities! How are you streaming your photos from your computer to Apple TV? Are you using Home Sharing, or are you using AirPlay with iPhoto or Aperture?
iTunes 12 for Mac: Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (2nd generation or later)
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH19499
With Apple TV (2nd generation or later), you can stream content to your home theater system from any iTunes library in your Home Sharing network. You can also stream digital photos stored on your computer.
To stream content to Apple TV (2nd generation or later), you must set up Home Sharing in iTunes and on Apple TV.
For Apple TV (1st generation), see Play items in your iTunes library using Apple TV (1st generation).
Set up Home Sharing on your computer
In iTunes, choose File > Home Sharing > Turn On Home Sharing.
Type your Apple ID and password, and click Turn On Home Sharing.
Repeat these steps for each computer you want to use to stream content to Apple TV (2nd generation), using the same Apple ID and password.
Set up Home Sharing on Apple TV
On Apple TV, choose Settings > Computers.
Choose Turn On Home Sharing, and then enter the same Apple ID and password you entered on your computer.
Stream your iTunes library to Apple TV
Make sure your computer is on and iTunes is open.
On your Apple TV, choose Settings > Computers, then choose the iTunes library you want to stream from.
The contents of your iTunes library appear on Apple TV. To play an item, select it.
Stream photos from your computer to Apple TV
Once Home Sharing is set up on your computer and on Apple TV, you can use iTunes to stream photos to your home theater system.
In iTunes, choose File > Home Sharing > Choose Photos to Share with Apple TV.
In the window that appears, select Share Photos From, and choose a source from the pop-up menu.
Do one of the following:
Choose “All photos, albums, events, and faces.”
Choose “Selected albums, events, and faces,” and select the items you want to stream.
Click Apply.
For more information, refer to the Apple TV Setup Guide.

When I try to watch a movie on Apple TV from my iPad with home sharing in I only get sound

When I try to watch a movie from my iPad through my Apple TV I only get sound. We have tried it with home sharing on AND off. What am I doing wrong?

Thank you for your feedback

I have many photos that are visible as thumbnails in the Pictures Library, however when I try to open them in a big screen they show a back screen with an exclamation mark in a triangle. What does this exclamation mark mean ?

I can see my images in the libarary as thumbnails but when i try to edit/email some of them become Exclamation Marks in a triangle.
What does the exclamation mark mean and how to i retrieve the photo

The exclamation make is an indication that iPhoto has broken the file path to the original photo.
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

I recently installed PSE 13 to my Mac book pro with Yosemite and the update installed and when I'm in iPhoto when I try to edit the photos in PSE 13 they will not open in PDSE 13

When I try get my photos to open in PSE 13 to be edited they do nothing ! In the past I had them set to open in PSE 11 which is what I was using --- I've changed that to open in PSE 13 but it still doesn't work? Can you help me please?

I hope you have set the correct .app file in iPhoto's preferences. Please see Use with iPhoto | Mac OS for details on set up. Just replace 11 with 13.

The home sharing always turn off when i try to see movie on my apple tv

Home sharing turns off when i try to watch movies on my apple tv

If your Apple TV is connected to your network via wi-fi, it could boil down to a range / signal quality issue. Are you able to stream any other services to the Apple TV without issues? If possible, connect the Apple TV with ethernet cable and see if that resolves your issue.

I shared more than 3000 pictures in icloud, but when I try to watch them in another device I can only see 300. Is there a limit on the number of pictures I can share?

Quick Answer: Yes.
If you are looking at My Photo Stream, check this out: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4486
How long are My Photo Stream photos stored in iCloud?
The photos you upload to My Photo Stream are stored in iCloud for 30 days to give your devices plenty of time to connect and download them.
How many photos are stored in My Photo Stream on my devices and computers?
iCloud pushes all your photos to the My Photo Stream album on your devices and computers, and manages them efficiently, so you don’t run out of storage space.
Your iOS devices keep a rolling collection of your last 1000 photos in the My Photo Stream album. From there, you can browse your recent photos or move the ones you like to your Camera Roll or another album to keep them on your device forever.
Because your Mac and PC have more storage than your iOS devices, you can choose to have all of your My Photo Stream photos automatically downloaded. In iPhoto or Aperture preferences on your Mac, select Photos (or Photo Stream) > My Photo Stream > Automatic Import. All of your photo stream photos will be imported into your Events, Projects, Photos, Faces, and Places folders in iPhoto or Aperture. On your PC with My Photo Stream enabled in the Control Panel, all of your photos will be imported into C:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\iCloud Photos\My Photo Stream. For iCloud Control Panel 2.0 to 2.1.2 users, the path isC:\\Users\<user name>\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream .
If you are using a Shared Photo Stream, check this out:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5903 and http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5902
How many photos and videos can be stored in a shared stream?
A shared stream can hold a maximum of 5000 photos and videos combined. When you reach your limit, you must delete some photos or videos before adding new ones.
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 stream completely.

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. I have downloaded plugin for the camera, but it still doesn't work. Can you help?

I have Lightroom 4 and a new 70D camera and when I try to important my photos Lightroom says it doesn't recognize my CR2 files. Can someone help? I have downloaded 8.3 from Adobe, but still doesn't work?

Lightroom doesn't use the Camera Raw plug-in. All of the Camera Raw technology is part of the Lightroom program. You will either have to upgrade to Lightroom 5 or use the DNG converter to create digital negative copies that can be used with Lightroom 4.

I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia.

Please help! I have an ipad that I purchased in Australia and my iTunes account is Australian, but when I try and watch Australian TV shows on Australian websites it says that the content is not available because I am not in Australia. How can I fix this?

Are you using a proxy server to access the net?
Or another cause could be that your router thinks it's in its home country (probably china)
I just don't know how to fix it. There's a way but I don't know enough to advise.
You could try googling your router model and 'wrong country' or keywords like that and see if something comes up.

I am having a problem when I try to select a photo or itunes song in Imovie or other programs. I get a window with grey lettering that says: "Open Itunes to populate this list" or "Open iphoto to see photos from your iPhoto library in this list. I have tried relaunching programs and nothing appears. Seemed to start happening a while back after one of my system upgrades.

After a a lengthy conversation with Apple Tech. ($20), my problem seems to be solves. The Iphoto problem solved by trashing the plist file. The Itunes was more involved. We had to create a new Itunes folder and import the files into the new folder; and then import the playlists.

ITunes Closes When I Try to Watch Downloaded TV Episodes

I'm ready to tear my hair out, so if anyone has any suggestions or advice to help me, I would be so grateful. I have installed the latest version of iTunes (8.0.2.20) and have downloaded several tv episodes. When I first tried to play the downloaded episodes I got a black screen, followed by a Windows box that said "iTunes has stopped working and will close". I got in touch with Support and they said I should do a thorough Uninstall of iTunes, Quicktime, etc. - which I did. I then reinstalled everything and could watch my episodes just fine. The next day, after the computer had been turned off all night - the error message was back and the episodes would no longer play. I Uninstalled and Reinstalled - episodes would play again. This has happened every day for the past four days.
What happens between the time I can watch the episodes and the next day when I try to watch them again and get the same error message from Windows? Is there anything I can do to fix this? Please help!!

hmmm, I'm not sure why QT worked for a while and then quit. Usually that means something changed on your PC - what it was, I dont know.
Probably easist to download andd install the Quicktime standalone program:
www.apple.com/quicktime/download/
Don't RUN the install over the internet, SAVE the file and run it from your hard drive. And turn off any security software while it installs.
Make sure to choose the second one WITHOUT itunes. Post back to tell me if QT installed without errors, and whether it can now play videos and also if it fixed the itunes problem!

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can

Starting in 2015 I get the following error when I try to import my photos. "The following files were not imported because they could not be read" -DSC8416.NEF I've been importing the same type of photos with no errors then 2015 came along and now I can no longer import.

The error message is misleading, the problem is that you need WRITE privileges added to the destination directory tree.
Assuming you are using the "date" structure that LR defaults to, find the directory that contains the 2014 folder (the one that works) and add WRITE rights to the parent of "2014".
While you are there, if you want, add "2015" folder to beside "2014" and add READ and WRITE rights to that new directory.

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole picture?

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I click print and the preview shows a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole photo?

After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
Hope this helps!

YOu need to reinstall iPhoto.
To re-install iPhoto
1. Put the iPhoto.app in the trash (Drag it from your Applications Folder to the trash)
2a: On 10.5: Go to HD/Library/Receipts and remove any pkg file there with iPhoto in the name.
2b: On 10.6: Those receipts may be found as follows: In the Finder use the Go menu and select Go To Folder. In the resulting window type
/var/db/receipts/
2c: on 10.7 or later they're at
/private/var/db/receipts
A Finder Window will open at that location and you can remove the iPhoto pkg files.
3. Re-install.
If you purchased an iLife Disk, then iPhoto is on it.
If iPhoto was installed on your Mac when you go it then it’s on the System Restore disks that came with your Mac. Insert the first one and opt to ‘Install Bundled Applications Only.
If you purchased it on the App Store or have a Recent Mac you can find it in your Purchases List.
