Computer display portable iPhotos as screensaver via Apple TV (2nd generation)

Computer display portable iPhotos as screensaver via Apple TV (2nd generation)

Hey the Hood Canal.

I understand that you are wanting to use your iPhoto library as screensaver on your Apple TV (2nd generation). I know using your own photos as a screensaver on your Apple TV is impressive. I'll be more than happy to help!

There is an excellent resource that shows how to set up: 12 iTunes for Mac: play your iTunes using Apple TV (2nd generation or later) library items

Photos stream from your computer to Apple TV

Once the home sharing is set up on your computer and on Apple TV, you can use iTunes for photos of stream to your home theater system.

  1. In iTunes, choose file > home sharing > select the Photos to share with the Apple TV.

  2. In the window that appears, select Sharing Photos From and choose a source from the context menu.

  3. Do one of the following:

    • Choose "All photos, albums, events and faces."

    • Choose 'Selected Albums, events and faces', and select the items that you want to stream.

  4. Click on apply.

For more information, refer to the installation Guide for the Apple TV.

This article says it's iTunes 12, but I have confirmed it also works with version 11 more. Once you have set up iTunes to share your iPhoto with your APPLETV library go to your Apple TV and go to settings > screen saver > Photos > then in the article titled "Computers" you should see your library here and can choose which albums to use as a screen saver. Once you choose the pictures, you should be all set.

Thanks for posting on communities of Apple!

See you soon!

    2 is Apple aware and working on this issue?

    3 is it possible for a regression away (point 6.2.1);

    HBO now for OS X is not an app, it is based on a web page

    HBO now for mountain BIKE depends on the application, developed by or for HBO under their influence.

    Apple tv OS 6.2.1 was the last update from Apple for ATV 2 and Apple supports more unit shortly after.

    so:

    (1) it is perhaps true, HBO is decent with troubleshooting.

    (2) Apple has stopped support for this purpose the issue is and will always be with HBO. Even if Apple suddenly starts to support ATV 2 its still a HBO problem to the extent that Apple is concerned and sketched in their license of USE of the device. HBO is the party who needs to fix their application in accordance with the framework of the 6.2.1 operating system compatibility

    (3) to a system restore restore your Apple TV to its factory - Apple Support settingsto reset the unit with its current operating system there is no way I know personally to downgrade Apple TV.

    We just connected our Apple TV (model A1378) after getting it 5 years ago... we went immediately to update the software that, after a few failed attempts, we finally got after steps 1 & 2. He then asked to connect to iTunes. We plugged on our mac, but iTunes is not picking up the Apple tv. Latest version of iTunes is installed. Home sharing enabled.

    Welcome to the Apple community.

    If your Apple TV fails to restore via iTunes...

    • Check that you have properly followed the instructions for your model of Apple TV.
    • If this is not the case, already, try using a powered USB port.
    • Repeat the process, but this time try to connect the cable while iTunes is closed.
    • Repeat the process with another cable.
    • Try to restore the Apple TV on another computer at another location.

    I have wifi and I was wondering if iphone 6s could deliver internet content to my TV via apple tv and the phone wifi

    You can use your phone's hotspot to connect your Apple TV, but you would not be able to use airplay to distribute other devices. You should also check with your operator on the terms of your plan, even if you have unlimited data, it will usually be strangled after a certain threshold, and they do not usually allow for this type of use.

  • How much of my data to my computer Windows Xp can I convert an Apple computer

    How much of my data to my computer Windows Xp can I convert an Apple computer.  Will it take all new programs (software)?

    As the software will, Yes, you will need software almost entirely new.

    If you have installed your software to check disk (cd or dvd) of your software box came in. It will say if it is Mac compatible. Some discs of software include installers for Windows and Mac computers.

    The good news is that a lot of software that you are familiar with the use of Windows is a Mac version that you can buy. For the instance of Microsoft office - you can buy a Mac version of the software and will be able to open your existing Word, Excel, files etc. that you have on your XP computer.

    So far as photo/image files, PDF files and other common files of format you have on your XP computer, you will be able to open these files very well on a Mac.

    Good luck on your switch. As a recent PC to Mac converter, I don't know if anybody somewhat a challenge. But I found it's worth!
