When Apple replaced iPhoto with the new Photos app in OS X Yosemite, we lost the ability to shuffle (randomize) the slide order. This was a big loss for those of us who have to quickly create slideshows from a large number of photos for a party or school event. Often we’ll have several photos of the same subject taken about the same time. If you play back the photos in the order they were shot, parts of the slideshow seem repetitive. By shuffling the order of the photos, you can make the slideshow more interesting without spending time sifting through the whole album to find the best ones.

See your iPhoto library or other photos fly around the screen, forming interesting three dimensional shapes, such as a city block with buildings. MovingPhotos3D The MovingPhotos3D screensaver sends your photos flying around in three dimensions.
Christoph Stork’s photo libraries are overflowing. He owns a MacBook Pro with a 750GB drive, but has an iPhoto library that weighs in at 190GB and a Photos library that takes up 250GB.

Hopefully Apple will reintroduce that feature back into the Photos app sometime soon. Until then, here’s a quick way to randomly play back a collection of photos in your Photos library.

This step-by-step will tell you how to use your iPhoto library as a screensaver. Go to your Mac menu bar andclickthe Apple iconto go to 'System Preferences.' Then click the'Desktop &. You can use shared photos or albums in the Photos app as your Apple TV screen saver. Set a screen saver Open the Photos app on Apple TV, then swipe to the Shared category in the menu bar. Note: If you don’t see the Shared category, go to Settings Users and Accounts iCloud and turn on Shared Albums. After going through the Apple setup instructions on my Mac (in iTunes, go the Advanced menu and select Choose Photos to Share and select either iPhoto or Aperture library) and on my Apple TV (Settings General Screensaver), I was viewing photos.

Use the screen saver

If you don’t have iPhoto installed on your Mac, the only way to shuffle the photos in a slideshow is to use the built-in screen saver. It’s not as full-featured as iPhoto as you lose the ability to control the slide time, transitions, titles and so on. However, if you need that kind of control in creating your slideshow, you can use iMovie instead.

Click the System Preferences icon on your dock,

or select it from the Apple menu.

Click on the Desktop & Screen Saver preferences.

Select the Screen Saver tab and then choose from one of the photo-related screen savers like “Ken Burns” or “Classic.”

Use the Source menu to choose a set of images in Photos (e.g. an album, moment, place).

If you don’t see “Photo Library…” at the bottom of the Source menu, you need change your Photos preferences to use the Photos library as the system photo library. To do this, launch the Photos app.

Then go to the Photos menu and select Preferences.

Make sure that you’re in the General tab, and click the “Use as System Photo Library” button. Afterwards, the button should become greyed out.

Go back to the Screen Saver preferences and click on the Source menu. At the bottom of the menu you should see the “Photo Library…” item. Click on it.

Now you will see all the collections from your Photos library. Select a collection and click the Choose button.

The last step is to check the “Shuffle slide order” box.

To start the slideshow right away, click the preview image.

Background music

The screen saver slideshow doesn’t have any options to play music, but you can make up for that by with iTunes. Before starting the screen saver, launch iTunes and start playing one of your playlists.
