Apple TV and streaming photos from external hard drive.
My photos are all stored on an external hard drive and was wondering if I can stream through Apple TV.

Hi
They won't "stream" unless you pull them into iPhoto. You can see them through Airplay on your Apple TV by clicking on each file from your Mac

Thanks for your reply - - but what if I have the iPhoto Library app on the external drive. Is that possible. My problem is that I am running out of disk space on my macbook and want to store all my photos on an external.
Please let me know.
Thank you.
Hi FNM
I don't think you can have the app on the external drive but maybe you can have the "data". The app will likely need to reside in the "applications" and serve to the data.....
Here is a recent discussion that may be helpful, though it is a very messy thread.

Sorry I can't help youmore, hopefully one of the more more senior community guys here will pick this up for you.
Cheers
Your Apple TV should be able to see a library that resides on an external drive.
