Why does Apple Tv not show folders created in iPhoto 11?

Hi,
I am new to Iphoto. So far used Picasa and would like to change. I have created Albums (2012.7 sommer holiday  , 2012.6 birthday son, 2011.10 birtthday daughter, 1999 wedding etc). Since there are hundreds of albums (lot of pics in the last 45 years), I've put these albums into folders (family picture 1999, family picture 2000, family picture 2001 etc etc). So the list in iPhoto is not too long and I can find quickely whatever album or picture I am looking for. That works great on the iMac using Iphoto but when I want to watch the picture on Apple TV, Apple TV is not showing the folders instead it is just ignoring totally the yearly folders and shows the whole list of all albums. Am I doing something wrong? Does anyone has experience with that?
Thks for help
Markus

There seems to be no real solution, but I have discovered a work around which I have tested. The photo albums themselves won't live in separate folders, but you can create an album with the same name as your folder with a single photo in it, so that the albums are separated. I also like to add the year first to chronologically order them. I know that this may take a while as you have so many photos, but I hope that helps as I was having the same problem.
For example:
...TRAVEL...
2012 Spain
2011 Italy
2010 Thailand
...FAMILY...
2013 Marks 40th Birthday
2012 Family Reunion
2011 Bon Voyage Marc

    Why does my iPad not show up in manage storage?

    Don't understand your question - "manage storage"? What are you trying to do? Are you trying to connect to your computer? Are you trying to free up some storage space?
    How much space is used by your Other? You may be able to reduce.

    How to Remove “Other” Data from iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch
    http://www.igeeksblog.com/how-to-remove-other-data-from-iphone/
    With an iOS device, the “Other” space in iTunes is used to store things like documents, settings, caches, and a few other important items. If you sync lots of documents to apps like GoodReader, DropCopy, or anything else that reads external files, your storage use can skyrocket. With iOS 5/6/7, you can see exactly which applications are taking up the most space. Just head to Settings > General > Usage, and tap the button labeled Show All Apps. The storage section will show you the app and how much storage space it is taking up. Tap on the app name to get a description of the additional storage space being used by the app’s documents and data. You can remove the storage-hogging application and all of its data directly from this screen, or manually remove the data by opening the app. Some applications, especially those designed by Apple, will allow you to remove stored data by swiping from left to right on the item to reveal a Delete button.

  • Why does apple tv not support amazon prime?

    why does apple tv not support amazon prime?

    If you have an iPhone/iPad it may be possibel to 'Airplay' from teh Amazon Prime app on the device - no Amazon Prime in UK so I can't confirm it works.  Check reviews of the app in iTunes.  Airplay is not something I like much as you have to have another device to work with the AppleTV.
    As to why there is no native support for Amazon Prime on the AppleTV itself, we could ask the same for any number of services, but:
    1 - Apple/Amazon are competitors to some extent so they may not want to
    2 - It may simply not feature in Apple's plans for the device
    3 - Rights owners may not allow Apple/Aamzon to collaborate
    .....and dozens more possible reasons I suspect, none of which really make sense to you an I as a consumer...

  • Why does my calendar not sync events created on my iphone

    When I create an event on my iPhone 4 and then sync it to my MacBook, the event is not showing up in iCal.  I have "Sync all Calendars" checked in iTunes under info when my phone is connected.  This problem just started after I installed Snow Leopard.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
        1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
        2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
        3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

  • Why does Windows 7 not show up in System Preference's "Startup Disk"

    Why does Windows 7, installed via Boot Camp, show up when you hold down the option key when booting but the drive does not show up in System Preferences under the Startup Disk icon.
    As an aside Windows 7 runs perfectly on my MacBook.
    - Mike

    Now I found I'm not alone. My situation is similar but not exactly the same.
    I recently switched from the white MacBook to latest mac mini, tried installing XP Pro not successful for some reasons then tried Win7 (build 7000). On my old macbook this worked perfectly.
    Got win7 updated and picked win7 as startup disk in windows, used that for few days without going back to leopard. On just one occasion I booted with 'alt' key pressed (using a PC keyboard) I have choices of drives so I thought everything was fine. As soon as I booted into leopard I found no win7 partition in system>preference>startup disk, OMG I couldn't boot back to win7 since then. From that point onwards the 'alt' key didn't work for me. Every time only leopard can be booted.
    What can I do now?
    Why it was OK in macbook but didn't work on mini? Is it worth investing on a mac external keyboard just to get the 'option' key?

  • Why does the iTunes not show "Photos"

    Why does the new iTunes not show "Photos" after it is synced, and why does iCloud not show Photos also?

    Ralph9430 offers a good suggestion.  But you may need to do this before taking his advice:
    Check in iPhoto's Preferences (which you can open from the iPhoto menu).  Look in General, and make sure "Connecting Camera Opens" is set to "Image Capture").
    If it is set to "iPhoto", you won't be able to get to Image Capture easily.

  • Why does my CD not show all files?

    I have a CD-R that I burned on my old G3 of art files--tifs, jpgs, epss etc. There are also a couple of other folders containing logos and graphic files whose contents show up fine, but all the art files (a bunch of folders categorizing contents) do not show up in the window. I can access them if I use the search function ONLY! What gives? Why can't I view the directory of this CD?

    In the view window of the CD-R contents, if you change that from Icon view to
    one of the other views, can you see a list of contents in the disc? That is how
    you normally can see the items in columns or lists.
    There is a chance something may be amiss on the actual CD-R media, if it
    has some strategic smudge or a few scratches, that could also affect how
    the disc is read in a different computer at some later point in time.
    Also, some optical drives may use a slightly different format, and while it should
    not be a problem among Macs, if the format or disc type is not fully supported,
    the content may appear missing.
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Why does an email not show as read in Mail (Mail 5.2 on Lion 10.7.3) when i read it outside of Mail?

    I use google apps at work thus have a gmail email address.  I have the setting in iCloud set to sync mail but when i read an email on my iphone (or even when i log into gmail directly) it does not show as a read email in Mail.  I would very much like to use Mail on my laptop, but having to read every email multiple times has stopped me from doing so.  Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello,
    Do you use IMAP settings in Mail on your laptop or is it POP ? The first one is recommanded for what you want and it will sync between devices.
    And check again your preferences in Gmail to see if everything is correct and if IMAP is activated.
