Unfortunately, to stream photos you need to stream everything (a secondary library)

(Please excuse my unsupported nomenclature)

if you say so. the article says *On Apple TV version 2.0 or greater* and



which is essentially what sir winston mentioned.

Winston... what do you mean by secondary library?

that's understood. however, in order to stream photos, you need to set up a secondary (i.e. non-syncing) library.

if you only have one computer, you're either out of luck or would need to change the set up of iTunes on it to be a streaming lib (which would not allow you to sync any content).

if you have another machine (even one running that +other OS+ ), move the photos there and set up iTunes on the other machine as a secondary (streaming) lib.

You can connect your tv with itunes on your computer in two different ways. I prefer to call one a primary and the other a secondary, others will call them paired and shared and others will call them syncing and streaming.

Basically a primary (paired or syncing) library allows you to sync content or stream it or a mixture of both. You can only connect one primary library to an tv.

A secondary library will only let you stream content, but you can have up to 5 of these.

The one exception to this is photos which have to be synced from a primary library, you don't have the option of streaming, so to stream photos you have to use a secondary library.

JGG isn't saying you need 2 computers just to watch different types of content. If you want to stream photos then you will need to stream everything (movies, tunes etc etc), what JGG is saying is that if you didn't want to stream everything and say sync a few movies but stream photos then you would need two computers, or since you are using a mac run two user accounts.

Can I ask why you only want to stream photos.
