I was surprised to find that it was first reported on the Apple Support Communities in October, 2010. I wasn’t surprised to find that there are many others having the same problem.
It would be OK to revert to cache if the iTunes computer isn’t available, but it should switch back to streaming the entire library when when it is. Ideally, the screen saver would stream the entire photo library from the host computer, just as it does for music and video. It never connects back to the iTunes host for more photos. It caches a subset of the photos in the small internal flash storage and then cycles through this cache.

The problem lies with how the Apple TV (Gen 2 and Gen 3) handles the screensaver photos. Especially when the Apple Setup instructions show a library containing 11,535 photos. When I select my Aperture Photo Library to be the screensaver, I expect to get my entire Aperture Photo Library. The Problem is that, of the 10,000+ photos on my computer, only a couple of hundred of them are ever displayed by the screensaver. It wasn’t until a couple of hours later that I noticed *the problem*. The Ken Burns effect I’d selected was beautiful and the pictures slowly zoomed in and out with perfect fluidity. My first impression was extremely positive. I thought I’d found the perfect setup because Samsung TVs have 3 separate timers to turn the TV on and off, so it would only be on when we are home (morning and evenings during the week, during the day on the weekends.) I have over 10,000 photos in my Aperture library, and I was looking forward to seeing them instead them just sitting on my computer.Īfter going through the Apple setup instructions on my Mac (in iTunes, go the Advanced menu and select Choose Photos to Share… and select either iPhoto or Aperture library) and on my Apple TV (Settings > General > Screensaver), I was viewing photos.

Told to do something.I recently purchased a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a 22″ Samsung 1080P LED-backlit LCD TV to act as a digital photo frame for my house. When I get to work I’m not even sure what I’m supposed to be doing. Well I’ve started and am 3 days in and I feel so out of place. I previously posted here about getting offered a Jr net admin position and how nervous I was.

I would prefer not to have to go that route. I'm wondering if maybe I can use Automator to do this? I've never really used Automator before though so I don't even know if this is possible.Īny thoughts or suggestions? I could potentially get an A/V company involved but I know that is going to cost a fair bit and require purchasing more gear.

I have no idea how to get the files to play at a set time. If I try to play them directly from the Apple TV then I can only play a single file and it will not loop. The only way to get the videos to loop their playback is if I stream them from iTunes to the Apple TV. Yesterday they decided that they wanted the videos to play on a set schedule. Previously they would just tell me when they wanted things to play and I would stream them from my iMac to the Apple TV that I connected to the lobby TV. The company I work for has some video reels they want played on the TV in the lobby. I would love hear if anyone has any suggestions on how I might do this.
