Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still,  like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i  had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and  physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about  9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos.  copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

  • Lr not importing all photos from external HD, but can see them in Bridge

    Just signed up to Lr & Ps on CC.  I imported my photos into Lr from an external HD (my backup) but not all the photos showed up in Lr.  However, I can access them in Bridge and open them in Ps.  Whats wrong?

    Hi, thanks for your help. Im really stumped. Yes all the file handling and destination folders are showing. I am using lightroom 4.4, its updated. i used it a few days ago with no problem. Basically i do my usually and upload and click import. During import, the white bar goes very fats and no imported preview images pop up. And it almost freezes like- saying copy and import photos in the upper left corner. On the main screen it just continues to say importing files. I have tried several cards and two different usb cords. Nothing so far and I have been trying for the last three hours, while reading forums.
    thanks again for your help!!

  • Lightroom not importing all photos from the SD card

    I have been using light room for a month now, importing photos from my Nikon's SD Card. All was going well until today. At first it seemed like lightroom could only see the first 144 photos (up to DSC_0217) as that was all that showed in the lightroom Library for last import. But when I looked in the Hard Drive and today's folder I could see all the photos (an additional 70 or so) had been imported to the hard disk. I tried moving the missing ones to a new hard disk folder - then an import from that folder, but light room thinks they are already imported.
    Any ideas where they may be? I attach a screen shot - but doubt it will help?!?

    LOL - 353 photos, thats the 140 or so from today and all my others. Then I see that the sort order is date stamp, and my missing photos are out of sequence. If I sort by filename then I get what I expected to see ... my new photos at the bottom! Looks like something happened in the EXIF data as the time stamp should be sequential with the the filename! No worries, thanks for making me see the big picture

  • Lightroom 4.1 not importing all photos from canon 7d

    Upgrades to Lightroom 4.1 last weekend. 
    Imported first photographs directly from Canon 7d (2.03 firmware)  copy as dng files through normal import process, and lightroom 4.1 fails to recognise approx 20-30% of the photos. (question mark in corner file location missing)
    This has happened three times, Thought it might be a card format problem, but then opened lightroom 3.6 which is still installed on my computer, conected the camera and all files imported directly from camera into lightroom just as they alwways have.
    So whats the glitch?
    Neil

    Rikk,
    Thanks for the reply,
    yes I have tried with a card reader and have had some mixed results, but always when I go back to lightroom 3 all the photos are seen and imported.
    I reinstalled LR4 yesterday, upgraded to v4.3.
    I have set up a new catalogue with none of my historic photo's, I will archive those in LR 3.6.
    Have re-installed the latest firmware for the canon 7d,
    Took some test photo's connected camera via usb, had to manually select import, the 7d was listed, then imported pics, no problem this time, need to see if this is consistent. Did the same with the Fuji xe1 and all 12 pics loaded.
    Will try tomorrow with significantly more pictures from both cameras.
    I wonder if there is any issue associated with importing the old catalogue from 3.6 and upgrading in LR4?
    Enjoy New year,

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

  • Iphoto does not import all items from camera

    I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
    I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
    Thanks.

    Hi imac2,
    I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
    Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.

  • Trouble downloading photos from card reader-OS9.1 G4 Cube

    Trying to download photos shot with Casio EXP600 onto Toshiba SD 512MB Card, inserted into Thunderbolt SD/MS card reader plugged into USB port on computer. Camera "Photo Loader" software downloaded OK onto computer. Get error message when try to download either .jpg or .tif files: AN ERROR OCCURRED IN THE PREVIEW FILE CREATION PROCESS. THE FILE WAS NOT CREATED. I can open a file on the card and see the photo on the screen OK, but not download it. If try to drag a photo from card to Photoshop Elements 2, get a .tif file with horizontal white lines every 1/4 inch or so; with .jpg files, get horizontal [possibly overlap] bands. [Also have trouble with .jpg files created with Microtek i700 scanner: get error message if try to open on desktop, though those open OK in Photoshop. Don't know if this is a related problem]. Thanks for any help. Jim Gerstley
    Question is: am I missing some critical software or need to update something in order for these photos to download to the computer? The picture files meet the DCF protocol and are supposed to be compatible with MAC OS 9, 10.1, and 10.2 though not 10.0. I do have quicktime player 4.1.2.

    Hi, James. Try this simple experiment.
    1. Create a new folder on your desktop, then connect your card reader. Double-click one of the photos on the camera card to confirm that it opens properly, as you've said they normally do. Drag-copy the same photo from your camera card into the folder on the desktop. Now double-click the copy. Does it behave exactly the same way as the original, or not?
    2. Now drag-copy a different photo — one that you've never opened on your computer — from the camera card into the folder on the desktop. Double-click the copy to open it. Does it behave exactly the same way as the photo that you had previously opened from the camera card, and then copied into folder on the desktop?
    It may be necessary, for the results of this experiment to be most informative, to reformat your card in your camera and shoot some new photos before conducting the experiment. Reformatting will erase the photos currently on the card. But since they seem to be corrupt anyway, you've already lost them. Copy them all to your computer first anyway, in case any of them are not yet corrupt.
    If the results differ between Step 1 and Step 2, then I suspect that what has queered things for you is the act of opening your photos while they still reside on the camera card, before copying them to the computer. The application they're opening in has made some obscure change in the files that isn't being saved properly on the card, and is corrupting them; consequently, they're corrupt when you then copy them onto the hard drive.
    It's a good rule of thumb not to do anything at all with photos while they reside on the camera card: always copy them onto your hard drive before opening, editing, emailing, deleting, or doing anything else to or with them. It's an equally good rule not to do anything to the card itself while it's connected to your computer: to format it, erase it, or delete individual photos from it, always use your camera's controls, while the card is in the camera and disconnected from the computer.
    By the way, a folder on your desktop is just another folder in a particular location on your hard drive — there's no functional difference between a folder in the hard drive window and a folder on the desktop, except that the latter is more conveniently accessible. The desktop itself is actually a folder on the hard drive, albeit an invisible one with a special display mode managed by the OS.

  • Lightroom 4.3 not importing all photos

    Using Mac, 10.7.5
    Have used lightroom version 3 (now 3.6) with Canon 7d and Canon 5dmk11 with no issues.
    Connect cameras to computer via usb, in lightroom 3.6 both cameras immediately recognised by lightroom import preview pics shown, no issues.
    Ugraded to lightroom 4 (now 4.3) have no issues importing photos from Canon 5dmkii, however seems to be hit and miss with the 7d. Lightroom does not automatically see the 7d, I have to use import and then select the 7d.  On importing the photos sometimes it is fine other times I have a number of photos with a ? and message missing file cannot be located.  Close down lightroom 4, open lightroom 3.6 connect the 7d and all the photos are imported including the ones that had a ? in LR4.
    In the end I stopped using LR 4 went back to LR3, but have recently bought Fuji XE1, raw files not supported in v 3 so back to using LR4, and am getting the same issue. Have deleted and re-installed lightrrom 4 , still some import issues, tried Adode remote chat line, (waste of time, the rep had less idea on LR than I do)
    Please has anybody got any ideas, as to cause or a solution, as this is driving me up the wall,
    Many thanks Neil

  • Lightroom is not importing all photos in a folder

    I shot with lightroom on my mac tethered to my camera

    OK, so converting tags back and forth does not seem to help. The only way I've been able to get iTunes to recognize these tracks is to completely remove the id3v2 tags. If I readd the tags after that, it works too.
    I have around 5000 tracks (randomly located, of course) that are messed up, so my only option would be to use some tag program to remove all tags from my library (around 15,000 tracks), and then to readd them. Not an attractive option.
    I'm really pretty disgusted with iTunes at this point. It seems that, well, 1. using it to convert my id3v1 tags to id3v2 screwed up a good chunk of my tags, and 2. any other mp3 player can recognize these tracks.
    Between my wife and I, we have 3 ipods, so it would be nice to get some support directly from Apple at this point. Sorry to vent, but my wife wants to kill me because she can't get the Smiths or the White Stripes, among many, many others on her ipod. Argh....

  • Aperture 2.1.2: Can't import the loaded photos from card reader...

    All of a sudden when loading photos from a card reader into a folder in Aperture 2.1, I fail to "OPEN" neither a NUMBER of them, nor ALL of them...Any suggestions please....Mamster37+

    Hi Tony, thanks again for your readiness to help. Have tried out the suggestion in the second paragraph of your thread, same result as you. That means when first taking the photos from the card reader to the desktop and then IMPORTING them from there into Aperture, there is NO problem. But when from inside Aperture, using Aperture's load/import feature from the card reader, it will NOT work! However, I have found out that the problem seems to be related to RAW-files only (in my case Nikons "NEF-files"), jPEGS open/import fine that way. My possible conclusion: in the light of the rather many recent adjustments/upgrades of various RAW-converters - lately also within Photoshop CS4 - I put myself the question as to whether the latter "Camera Raw-converter" might have overruled the converter of Apples Operating system, or that of Aperture. There seem to be a "collision" somewhere...What do you or other readers of this thread mean about my findings? Oeksen37+

  • Import all photos from iPhoto library

    With Yosemite 10.10.3, I was able to import and upload all my photos from current iPhoto Library 2014 onto iCloud and into Photos App. But I have another iPhoto Library called iPhoto Library 2013 which contains all my 2013 photos. I had to stop that as earlier I had only 128GB SSD on my mac. Now, is there a way to get all those photos into the new Photos App?
    I mean, 2014 library alone took me 2 weeks to get it all uploaded. If I switch library, it will start all over again I am afraid and it may eventually never merge into one library.
    If answer is no, is there a utility that can open up my older iPhoto Library and pull all my photos out by events ? That way I can extract all the photos to external drive and then import them into my current library.
    I even asked at apple store and the so called Genius said "Google it" !
    Please let me know if you faced such a problem and if so what you recommend is the best solution!

    It may indeed be better to start again with an empty iMac, but i am suggesting this for additional reasons. Do you need another identical iPhoto Library eating up space on your new Mac. Aperture is well able to better organise the library than iPhoto ever was.
    Getting started in Aperture in a way you can continue to build on is the hardest thing to get correct at the beginning. When you do, it is a very easy matter to bring in new work in to Aperture from the camera, to build it forward in to the future, or bring in old stuff to organise retrospectively in to the past, and combine both in a way that works for you. Rather than having the trouble that seems to occur frequently here, when folks transfer to Aperture with iPhoto. Don't bring too much iPhoto baggage and forget the term Event.
    Aperture is a whole new world and may be a little alien at first, and this frustrates quite a few people when switching. Try out some library structures without images. When it is to your liking then start to populate it with some images in to a nice new and powerful photo library that you know works, and in the way you want, and have got familiar with. The transition should be much easier that way.
    This little snippet of information is critical to start with:
    Folders hold Projects. ie Folder: 2010. Sub Folders by Season or Month. Project: Vacation, Birthday, Children, etc... Now you want the best children images together in one place, from birth to present. Albums and smart Albums do this, with the aid Powerful search tools.
    I hope this helps a little. Allan
