watching photos on tv via apple tv?

YES you can!

Turn your TV into an HD photo album.

With Apple TV, every megapixel of every photo looks amazing. Big, bold, and in glorious HD: It’s the treatment your digital life deserves. So instead of huddling around a computer screen, you and your friends can relive memories from a comfy spot in your living room. Or add some life to the party with a photo slideshow. Select an album, pick a slideshow theme, and finish it off with a soundtrack featuring music from your iTunes library.

With AirPlay You can stream from a Mac, iPhone, iPad or iPod touch.

Hopefully Apple will add Picasa and other popular picture hosting sites.

Let's do a poll.

Yes, select the photos you want to share from your computer from the advanced menu in iTunes.

I am talking about no-itunes. Why do I need one device (ATV2) and a computer (Itunes) to see my pictures if they are hosted somewhere else?

Future is cloud.

Winston - You appear to be an expert so I'm sending a question your way. I just bought Apple TV 2. I can get the photo slideshow to work. However, let's say I pick an album with 200 photos. The slideshow will only cycle through the first 10 to 15 photos with different variations but never gets to the other photos in the album. Do you have any suggestions in how to ensure I get all of the photos through the slideshow? When I select don't "repeat photos," I can't get the slideshow to work at all. It starts and then immediately crashes.

Best,

Michael Griffith
