sharing photos since iphotos became photos
Hi,
I have a large photo collection on my mac book pro, which I shared with my wifes account (via /User/Shared) using iphotos. Each of our Pictures directory had a symbolic link to the User/Shared directory (same group). This worked very well with the Apple TV.
Now we had moved to Photos from iPhotos.
Again the Photos directory is in /Users/Shared, and each of or photos account point to this one Photos database (I have have to use the /user/Shared path, as a symbolic link did not work)
I now turn on the Apple TV, and through the iTunes it is after a directory where the photos are. The default directory is Pictures, and it does not "see" a symbolic link to the /Users/Shared directory. I then chose the /User/Shared directory (from the Photo Sharing Preferences in itunes), and it can't "see" the shared new Photos directory .... 😟
So at present I can display any photos to the Apple TV.
Does anyone have any thoughts ??
Many thanks for you time in reading this
