Instead, they used video footage of dye release.

It seems to me, that the iTunes interface of Apple TV can not read my iPhoto Library and content. I have about 10'000 photos in my iPhoto. If I export the Photos to a separate folder from iPhoto everything works and I can sync my Photos to my Apple TV. But that is not what I wand to do. I want to be able to Sync directly to my Apple TV via iTunes and my iPhoto Library. Of course I also want to be able to sync my Photo collections I specially done in my iPhoto. This just does not work so far. I have iPhoto Bonjour Sync enabled in the Firewall settings. I also ran the Harddisk Utility Program to cross-check all the privileges. No success, privileges are set correctly. Your Feedback is very welcome. Best Zeno PS: I spoke to an Apple representative in Germany today and he said he is looking into it with Engineers from the US. My Ticket # is:77226539 Hi

I have following problem with my Apple TV:

In iTunes the Photos-Tab does not show any albums or photos when I
choose to sync directly from “iPhoto”in the Drop-Down Menu. It seems
to me, that the iTunes interface of Apple TV can not read my iPhoto
Library and content. I have about 10’000 photos in my iPhoto.

If I export the Photos to a separate folder from iPhoto everything
works and I can sync my Photos to my Apple TV. But that is not what I
wand to do. I want to be able to Sync directly to my Apple TV via
iTunes and my iPhoto Library. Of course I also want to be able to sync
my Photo collections I specially done in my iPhoto. This just does not
work so far.

I have iPhoto Bonjour Sync enabled in the Firewall settings. I also
ran the Harddisk Utility Program to cross-check all the privileges. No
success, privileges are set correctly.

Your Feedback is very welcome.

The Nevada Test Site was home to above ground tests performed by the US and is currently run by the NNSA/NSO.
