Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT

Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

iCloud Photo library nested albums.

I suspect I'm seeing the same as everyone else, but thought I'd check.


I see no nested albums in the new iCloud photo library feature. They aren't just listed without their enclosing folder but they aren't there at all.

Apple TV (4th generation), tvOS 9.1

What we mean is :

- in the photos app on the Mac, when you have too many photo albums, you can create directories in which you can put as many photo albums as you like. This helps you sort them out.

- on the Apple TV the directories that you created on the Mac are not showing up!!. You can only see album which are not stored in directories.

Do you get the point ?

It's crazy, and extremely disappointing, that this bug is continually ignored. It makes my 60,000 (and growing) family photos in iCloud Photo nearly worthless on the Apple TV. Combine that with the Apple TV 4's apparent inability to use anything but shared albums with the screensaver, and it's like they're daring me to write off the Apple TV and iCPL completely.


And curiously, this issue is strangely analogous to the other glaring functionality inconsistency/lapse that make the Apple TV inexplicably less useful and more frustrating that it should be - the bizarre lack of playlist folders in Music.


Are folders that much of a problem for the Apple TV team?

I totally agree with you the playlist in music don't appear on Apple TV 4! This is so frustrating! Another big issue which is been going on for years is the iMovie theater bug. Though I called apple many times about it, it has never been solved. The problem is that it simply doesnt work !!! You just get this stupid message : impossible to connect to icloud temporarily!!!! Many topics are open on the subject Now the question is should we continue with Apple because they seem to be deaf to all our problems. User uploaded file


I Think I tried all the possible ways to reach someone at Apple even on Twitter .. we must be too small customers to get their attention

I started this thread about a real issue, in that iCloud photo library on the Apple TV doesn't let you view nested albums, it's an issue yes, but it isn't the end of the world since I can view them through home sharing.


Your post relates to issues that you are having which are most likely to do with your environment and nothing to do with Apple hardware or software. iMovie theatre works just fine and I have no issues with my playlists either via iCloud music or home sharing..
