Set Your .Mac Web Gallery As Your AppleTV Screensaver

These are instructions on how to set up a .Mac Web Gallery as your AppleTV Screensaver. To follow this tutorial make sure you have a .Mac account and have already created a web gallery for this account.

Note: This tutorial was written in 2008 for the first Apple TV and Apple's .Mac service, and the steps and screenshots show that version. Since then:
- .Mac Web Galleries no longer exist. .Mac became MobileMe, which Apple shut down on June 30, 2012, and with it the galleries. These steps can't be followed today.
- To use your photos as a screen saver today, open the Photos app on Apple TV, select a shared album or an album, then select Set as Screen Saver (Apple).
