Why can't show iPhoto albums on ATV?

At one time, I could show all my photos from iPhoto to Apple TV. Now, I can't find them on ATV - - only "Photo Stream" which is very limiting. I need to find a way to show Albums.

Your photo library will be accessed via the Computers section

Why don't all iPhoto albums appear in iTunes so I can download them to ipad

Why don't my iPhoto albums appear in iTunes not all of them and not complete so I can download them to iPad or iPhone. Only some of them transfer over to iTunes.

After a good hour, finally sorted it out thanks to this
Q: When I first had iTunes move my ebooks to the new iBooks app in Mavericks, many of my books didn’t get transferred. How can I get these books back? Are they lost forever?
There was a bug in the first version of the iBooks app that prevented it from moving all the books in the iTunes library to the new app. In my library, only two books didn’t get moved, but I’ve heard from people who lost dozens or even hundreds of books.
These books should still be on your computer. If you haven’t done so, open the App Store app, click Updates, and download the iBooks 1.0.1 update. Launch iBooks, then choose File > Move Books from iTunes. This should move the remaining books to iBooks.

Can't sync iPhoto albums to iPhone

Here's one I haven't seen mentioned elsewhere:
iTunes can sync my Schedules / Calendars / Bookmarks fine. But it has a problem with photos.
I can sync photos from my "Pictures" folder - but not from iPhoto. iTunes doesn't see any iPhoto albums at all, so there's no way to select or sync them. The list is blank, even though I have plenty of photo albums in iPhoto, just waitin' to be synced. (sunc?)
Does anyone else have this problem?
How can I get iTunes to see my iPhoto albums?

I have this problem as well, but I have my iPhoto set up in a funny way. I used ACLs to share the photo library between my account and my wife's account (why Apple doesn't make this easier, I don't know, as lots of families share photos). If I am syncing successfully on my account and then switch to my wife's account, none of the photo albums show up in iTunes for syncing. If I quit iTunes, launch iPhoto, quit, and relaunch iTunes it works fine. But then I have to do the same thing once I switch back to my account.

Why can't I get albums to work for me?

I'm struggling with creating a new site for my business that uses albums to display my portfolio images. I have everything working like it should inside iWeb, but when I publish to a folder or upload it to a website, the albums just work as images and do not link to the gallery of images inside.
I have two galleries on my portfolio page. Within iWeb, I can click on either album and get the images to open in slideshow and other modes. For some reason, though, the link is broken to prevent the album from working as a link to the images within when it is translated to a working webpage. What am I doing wrong? I dragged an iPhoto gallery to the gallery page to create each album and am able to do all of the navigation I would expect within iWeb.
Thanks,
Ron

60G video iPod with +15G free can't see iPhoto albums, -50 error

Everything had been running smoothly in my 60G video iPod with photos and videos and music. With more than 15G free on my iPod, space isn't an issue. For reference, I have iPhoto 6 and iTunes 6, both completely updated (as is QuickTime). I've deleted the iPod photo cache on the hard drive. And, because of a previous iPhoto problem, I've rebuilt my system from the hard drive up recently.
Here's the problem: I don't know why iTunes "suddenly" can't see the iPhoto albums. It can see the iPhoto library, but won't let me select specific albums. I don't want all my photos on my iPod, plus it's a +30G photo library so it wouldn't all fit anyway. All I know about what happened right before this problem is, and I quote:
Q: "What happened?"
A: "That beachball thing spun for like 5 minutes so I restarted."
Q: "What application were you using at the time?"
A: "Who knows?"
(To which I'm desperately thinking "Count to 10, you're the adult...count to 10, you're the adult...")
In hunting around on my hard drive, I can also see that there are a bunch of random gifs and jpegs in the Pictures folder. It looks like the Apple website blew up, piece by piece (a gif for each tab across the top, for example) along with some widgets and something I don't recognize.
After deleting my iPod photo cache, I could get iTunes to start updating the iPod again, but now it doesn't see anything but the whole iPhoto library. I tried selecting the whole library, but I got the -50 error again (can't update, error unknown). I use the iPod extensively as a traveling photo album, and now (because I deleted the iPod photo cache I assume) I don't have ANY pictures.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Fixed!
Adding new photographs to my Library seems to have sorted the problem out. So if anyone else has this problem, a holiday to Amsterdam is the cure

Can I download iPhoto Albums to an SDHC card ?

I'd like to show pix of recent trip to friends using a 20" Photo Frame that accepts most media devices. Can I download several iPhoto Albums Ive created to an SDHC card or similar device. I've got a 2009 iMac running Mavericks @ 2.93 GHz with 4 GB RAM

Yes. File -> Export

What (and how) things are displayed on the Frame depends entirely on the features of that device. So you need to read the manual on the for the possibilities it offers.

How can open an iPhoto album from Finder?

I want to be able to double-click on something in Finder that will open up iPhoto to a specific album.
For a lengthy explanation, read on.
In Finder, I'm making a folder which will hold everything plot-related about the video game The Last of Us (for my own plot-referencing pleasure). Right now it contains a bunch of video clips. Well, you know that comic book prequel of the game; "American Dreams" it's called? I scanned the pages of it and saved the images to my computer, and I want to be able to access them from the Finder folder I'm making.
I could just stuff them in as lone JPGs that open individually in Preview...but I object to doing that, because first off, Preview is ugly, and I don't want my vibe getting ruined by all that white and grey. Second, I want be able to quickly flip through the scanned pages, rather than open the images one at a time. Trying to solve that second issue, I saved all the images into one PDF so I'd be able to easily flip through the images like I want to, but when I looked the PDF over, I realized I still didn't like the feel of that Preview format. Still too grey and white and ew.
SO, I put all the images, in order, into iPhoto (in an album that I named "TLoU: American Dreams - Scanned Pages"). They look great in iPhoto! Only thing is... Yeah, the images are nice and tidy in the iPhoto album...but to view them in iPhoto, I have to open up that application and navigate to the album. Which doesn't jibe with my original idea of packing all TLoU-related files into one Finder folder.
***With MP4 video files, you can double-click on one in Finder and it'll take you right to QuickTime Player. With JPGs, when you double-click in Finder it'll open up in Preview. I could set the preferences so that it'd open the image using iPhoto, but then I'd just be viewing a single image in iPhoto. I want to be taken to an album of pictures in iPhoto. I want to double-click on something in Finder that will open up to an album in iPhoto.***
Is this possible? How do I do it? (If it's not possible, then can you suggest for some kind of workaround?)
Thanks so much. If it seems like I'm awfully nitpicky, it's because I am.

Also, if you just want to chat about TLoU, I'm perfectly fine with that as well

Why can I not see album artwork on my iphone but I can on itunes

I have downloaded album artwork onto itunes, however some of it is not downloading onto my iphone. How can I get the album artwork onto my phone?

On the right hand side of the itunes store - there is a link under "quick links" to "purchases" where I can find all the books and music I have purchased through itunes. That way if I have loaded something from itunes using my phone - I can then go and download it onto my PC later (or that is how I use it).
BUT - while music, movies, TV shows, Apps & Books are available for download - there is no audiobooks option. So, I have these purchases of audiobooks through itunes, but I cannot find them in my purchases history. I have tried to manually sync these audiobook purchases from my phone to my PC, but it would not let me. And the last time I tried to sync my audiobook library between my phone and my PC - (loading these new purchases from phone to PC) it wiped my phone purchases and I had to go back to apple with all the purchase receipts to get them back.
I would like to be able to load audiobooks purhcased on my itunes account onto my home and work PC from the itunes purchased database from my account (or from my phone if someone can recommend a safe way to move the file).
Thanks for asking.

Why can't itunes identify albums?

I suspect this question has been asked numerous times, so forgive me for being redundant. I've been using the iPhone for about 4 years. The thing I hate about my Apple experience is iTunes seeming ineptitude at properly importing songs from a CD. Windows Media Player beats iTunes hands down in this respect. Does anyone have a suggestion to work around this problem?
Thanks - Al

So, since iTunes can find information about albums I import, please tell me what I'm doing wrong. Obviously I need to do more than simply rip the CD.
When iTunes reads the CD in your CD drive, it (iTunes) should ask Gracenote for the the album information straight away. You should see the track names, album name and artist all appear as appropriate in the CD import window. If that doesn't happen, check your Edit/Preferences>When you insert a CD: and make sure that Automatically retrieve CD track names from Internet is ticked "on". You will notice the drop-down menu as part of that section as well. Since you are having issues, I suggest that you set the drop-down menu to Show CD which will allow you to check that the track name information is being completed prior to importing.
If this information is missing or incomplete, it is at this point that you should identify the cause, not after importing. Perhaps your iTunes is not able to get online.
Just to clarify something; Gracenote can only identify commercial releases, not home burnt CDs. Frequently, now-days, artists release albums directly, without the use of a record company. In this situation (and even with very new company releases), Gracenote may not have that information yet. It is possible for an individual (including yourself) to submit track information (for a commercial release) to Gracenote through iTunes if so desired. If someone has done just that, with the albums you are having trouble with, but they did not fill in the details correctly, perhaps that is the problem. If you tell us which albums they are, maybe someone else with that album can offer specific help.
I feel the need to make an observation here.
I made several points in my response to Smirnoff about what happens when a CD is being imported which, if you had read them, might indicate - to you - at which point in the procedure, your process fails and without the need for your "attitude";
E.G.
Smirnoff wrote:
When I read about importing in Help, it tells me that the tracks will appear in the Music Library.
Correct, complete with the song titles and album and artist names - as well as appearing in the import window, prior to you selecting Import CD, so you will able to confirm titles before importing.
and...
Smirnoff wrote:
Or does iTunes recognise it as an album and create an album title?
Yes, of course. The album will imported into your iTunes Library under the album title and with the artist listed, just as you would expect to see the album information on the CD you imported from.
... and yet you have not acknowledged that. If you had read either of those points, surely you would comment to me about whether that did, or did not, happen in your case, instead of coming out with condescending stuff such as "Well I obviously need your superior skill to operate iTunes" and "Please share your superior wisdom"
wouldn't you?
Don't you forget, people such as myself post here in order to help other people, (look at the number of points awarded to those who do actually help) and we do so on a voluntary basis. If you are rude to those who offer you help, how long do you think that help will continue? Huh?
One last gesture of help towards you. You say you have a collection of songs in your Library without names, from previous "failed" imports. You can edit the song information in your iTunes Library, even after importing the CD. Highlight the song and select File/Get Info/Info and type in the information you require. You can bulk edit items such as Album Name and Artist by selecting all the required songs and using the same File/Get Info ... Just be cautious that you don't overwrite individual song information. If all else fails, once you have identified and corrected the cause of your initial problem, you could re-import the failed imports.

Can't use iPhoto Album as Screensaver in Snow Leopard with iLife '11?

I just upgraded my iMac to Snow Leopard (10.6.3) so I could install iLife '11.
After installing both, I noticed my screen saver wasn't using the iPhoto album I had originally selected before the upgrade.
When going to System Preferences > Destop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver the options are:
Apple
     Arabesque
     Computer Name
     Flurry
     iTunes Artwork
     RSS Visualizer
     Shell
     Spectrum
     Word of the Day
Pictures
     Shuffle
     Abstract
     Beach
     Cosmos
     Forest
     Nature Patterns
     Paper Shadow
There used to be an option for iPhoto albums, or am I just not seeing something?
Thanks,
Rob

Why can't iTunes find album art when it is showing in Media Player?

I am new to iTunes, having previously used windows media player. What a disappointment. The sooner Apple get back to being a niche plyer the better. In Windows media player, every one of my albums has the artwork on it. Import to iTunes the crock of **** can't find the artwork for 71 albums. Not just a handful, 71!!!
I had heard that iTunes doesn't like compilation albums from a friend, several years ago. No problem in media payer - but in the bag of **** that is iTunes, my compilation albums (shop bought CDs) are listed as separate albums i.e I have 20 albums all called "the best of New Wave"!!!
Finally before I sell my iPod back on to Ebay, I tried to import my MP3s to the Touch. Not enough room (I knew that) so opted to select which Albums I wanted. Now I have 250 albums, so do you think some overpaid ******* in Apple might have thought that folk would like to "select all" and then de-select the albums they didn't want? No...let's make it really irritating and get people to MANUALLY select each album, one by Fxxxing one. This really is the dark ages.
Finally, for some reason, some of my albums (again perfectly intact in Media Player) have been split into two. In Media Player you can drag tracks from one album onto another to create the whole album. Is this possible in iTunes? You know what, don't even bother answering, because I'm done with iTunes.

Why can't i drag albums created in iPhoto onto desktop

or into Photobox?
Thanks

This seems to be a desktop issue rather than an iPhoto one, as you can't drag from Mail either.
So I'd start by repairing permissions.
Can you export to the desktop?

When you show all albums, why can you only sort albums by best sellers, release date, etc., sometimes?

Sometimes I can sort albums by release date and other times I don't have the option. Its frustrating. I tried to look in preferences but couldn't change it.

I agree that Apple should improve the year field to be an actual date.
I am not 100% happy doing this, but when you have multiple albums from a single artist for the same release year, a temporary solution is to chage the album title by adding an outline type letter before album titles for that year, so that they appear in the correct order:
David Bowie
1977
a. Low
David Bowie
1977
b. "Heroes"
etc
This could help in the short term until Apple changes that field.

Can't sync iPhoto albums with Sony Bridge for Mac

When I connect the Sony Xperia Z3 compact to the mac the Sony Bridge for Mac shows up. I select the option to explore iPhoto. At first nothing shows up (Sony developers, it would be nice to at least show a spinner or progress bar) but after a while events appear. However all other picture categories (faces, albums, pictures or last importation) don't show up.
Since I prefer to organize pictures by albums rather than events I can't sync anything, as I have no options to check. I'm using Sony Bridge for Mac 3.8.3(3831) and iPhoto 9.5.3 (902.17). Does somebody know how to solve this?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Asle!
I'm very sorry to hear that you have a problem with BFM.
I will try to help but I need some more information.
(1) The build number of your phone
(2) The android version you are using
(3) The version of iPhoto
It would also be very nice if you can send me the error logs.
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me
Best regards
Fredrik
