Aperture 3.4 - Photostream

How can I filter my library (folders, projects...) to view which photos I have (or not) shared through Photostream?
Thank you

Until you upgrade, create all shared photo streams only on your iMac and upload from your iMac. And one shared stream on each of the other devices to send the photos to your iMac.
I guess it's time to bite the bullet and install some updates.
If you want full iCloud compatibility, will have to do just that. On the other hand, you'll benefit from consistent software on all platforms.

Aperture 3 and photostream force quit

I have latest updates to aperture applied. I share a library with iphoto. If i try to enable photostream from preferences a spinning beachball starts and the application becomes unusable. I have to force quit. Restarting doesnt fix it. I have repaird and rebuilt the database. I also notice that while the application shows not responding their is also a photstream process running that is using up 100% of cpu? in the past i have tried delting preference files to no avail. Really need help here.

I put them back but still need your awesome help in getting it to work in my current user account.
Working in a different user account was meant as a test - a basic trouble shooting measure- not as a fix, see: Isolating an issue by using another user account
Your result tells, that Aperture, your hardware, and your system are probably o.k., but some settings, startup items, Aperture plug-ins, preference panes used in your user account may be problematic.
I'd start with trouble shooting the preferences and presets, as described in
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
Remove the file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" from your user library to the Desktop, and if that does not help, remove the presets.
Remember to log off and on, before removing the preferences.
The user preferences are hidden by default; reveal them from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit Aperture, if it is running:
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.

What size jpeg is aperture uploading to photostream?

I have just started to play around with Aperture and photostream. I put 6 RAW photos from Aperture on my iMac into photostream and then they showed up in photostream on my MacBook Air's Aperture photostream. I then opened the Aperture library structure (show package contents) and found the Master files were jpegs between 2-5MBs in size where my RAWs are ~20-25MB in size. So obviously only a jpeg version is being uploaded/synched through the photostream and not the RAW file (which is probably good as even 6 jpegs was fairly slow to upload). My question is whether one can control what size, quality etc of jpeg is being transfered through photostream between two Macs/Aperture libraries?

Okay, now I'm totally confused as to what aperture is doing. I uploaded a couple more pictures and this time they showed up on my other two macs as CR2 Raw files whereas last night the ones I uploaded came down as jpegs except for one that wasn't showing up last night and now shows up as a CR2 also. I also changed the preview settings to a higher setting, forced Aperture to create a new preview for one of the previously uploaded images and then tried to add it again to photostream but it didn't add anything new as it already had that file.
Does anyone have any idea what is causing aperture to add jpegs sometimes and Raws other times?

Aperture, Preview and Photostream

When I put an image on the photostream using Preview, it shows up in photostream in Preview.
When I put an image on the photostream using Aperture, it shows up in photostream it in Aperture.
But not vice versa, picture put on photostream with Preview are not visible in Aperture, and pictures put on photostream with Aperture are not visible in Preview. Why is this? After all they support the same kind of documents.

Aperture Update for Photostream Photos

I have not been able to find anything on when Apple plans to update Aperture to allow pictures to be deleted from the photostream. For the cost of this software I wish it could at least be on par with the "consumer" app IPhoto. Hopefully it is updated soon. Has anyone heard of a release date for this update?

Your prayers have been answered: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1506

Will Aperture "do" iCloud PhotoStream?

I know iPhoto will work with iCloud PhotoStream. Will Aperture?

Now stated on the iCloud page. And the Aperture website shows a banner: "Works with iCloud"
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
http://www.apple.com/aperture/
"Keeping a complete set of your photos on your Mac is as simple as turning on Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture."
"iCloud automatically pushes a copy of that photo over any available Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection to the Photos app on your iOS devices, iPhoto or Aperture on your Mac, and the Pictures Library on your PC."
in addition to that I'm guessing it to adopt Aperture's preference settings of the preview tab, since the previews will not be as demanding on your (and iCloud's) network

Aperture: Auto Split Photostream Project?

Hi All
I'm loving photostream and getting all my pics into my library, however at the end of the month I'm left with a folder full of pics which I like to split into events by date.
My question is... Is there any way to get the photostream folder to split into smaller folders by day automatically or faster than doing it manually? (i.e. June photostream folder into June 1, June 2, June 3, etc.)
This would save me a good hour a week, so any help appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

William writes:
"Photostream is Photostream. You can't split it."
That is incorrect.
You can in fact split Photo Stream events -- but it appears it can only be done from within iPhoto, not Aperture. While not convenient, this is not a problem because Aperture (3.3) and iPhoto (9.3) can open and manipulate the same libraries. (Apple's official documentation is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043)
If your Aperture and iPhoto apps have separate libraries (as would be expected, unless you've already "unified" them), you can temporarily open your Aperture library in iPhoto, split the Photo Stream events there, then point iPhoto back to its own library.
- Quit Aperture.
- Open iPhoto, and from the File menu, select Switch to Library to open your Aperture library or whichever library contains the Photo Stream Event(s) you wish to split. (See Apple's support pages, which I've linked above, for details on sharing libraries between iPhoto and Aperture.)
- Check your iPhoto preferences' General tab for "Autosplit into Events." Select the setting you want, and close the Preferenes window.
- In the main iPhoto window, with Events selected at the left, select the Photo Stream event (or events) you'd like to split (e.g., "Aug 2012 Photo Stream").
- Finally, from iPhoto's Events menu, select "Autosplit Selected Events."
Voila.
Quit iPhoto, then reopen the Aperture library from within Aperture. Your newly split events should now appears as (newly split) projects within Aperture.
NOTE: As far as I can tell, there's no "Autosplit" command in Aperture, which is unfortunate. Hence, this cumbersome workaround. If I'm mistaken, I invite the correction, as it'd be far more convenient to be able to do this directly within Aperture. Hopefully Apple will realize (or has realized) this omission and will correct it in a future Aperture update.

Photo edits in aperture are not being updated in Photostream

I want to edit photos in iPhoto on an iPad mini and also in Aperture and have the changes synchronised either using photostream or a direct connection. Try as I may I can't get this to happen. If I move a photo in Aperture to the photostream then it appears on the iPad and vice versa. If I subsequently edit a photo on either device the changes are not propagated to the other device and the photostream image is not updated. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or is this feature simply not supported.

Photo Stream can be used to automatically share photos to other devices, but it will not sync the photos. If you edit photos and want to share the edited version as well, you will have to add this edited version again to the Photo Stream. Also the photos will not be stored in the Photo Stream for more than a month.
You might consider to use iTunes Photo sync instead:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
With iTunes Photo Sync you can update the albums synced to your iPad, when you change the albums and edit the photos on your mac, but changes done on your iPad will also not sync back. You have to reimport the edited photos from your iPad.
There is simply no simple way yet to sync iPad and Mac, if you are looking for a solution to do some editing on your iPad and keep iPad and Mac in perfect sync.
Maybe some third party software can do that, but neither the Photos app nor iPhoto on iPad has means to do that.

Léonie

Setting up Photostream in Aperture

I have already set up iCloud to work with my iPhone and iPad. On these, it works perfectly. However, I wanted also to load iPhone photos to my iMac and see them in Aperture, via the Photostream option.
My problem is that the system seems stuck in a rather unhelpful loop. When I try to turn on Photostream in Aperture's preferences, I get a screen telling me I need to migrate my account to iCloud and be signed in to my iCloud account in System Preferences. But I have already done that, and I am already signed in. Signing out and back in again, restarting all my IOS devices etc makes no difference. Every time I try to go in and turn on Photostream in Aperture, I am asked to migrate my account and reminded that I need to sign in to iCloud before I can open Photostream.
Any suggestions, please? Everything else I want to work under iCloud already works perfectly, but Apertur seems unable to recognise that I am already signed in, and is therefore not turning Photostream on.
Thanks.
Tom

I just export it somewhere and then drag that picture to the well in system preferences.
I suspect you can't just do it from within Aperture... the system probably wants a JPEG or TIFF file and not a RAW file, but I"m guessing here I admit.

Selected videos won't sync from Aperture through iTunes to my iPhone 5s

I don't know if this is an iPhone issue, an Aperture issue, or an iTunes issue . . .
I'm using Aperture, on my iMac, and have created albums that contain videos (as well as photos). Some videos are iPhone-created that I imported from my iPhone into Aperture (since iCloud/Photostream does not automatically cloud videos); some videos were created by me in a separate program (iMovie or FCPX) and then down-mixed to put into my Aperture album. I'm trying to sync my Aperture album (not Event, but Album) to my iPhone 5s so that I have an album on my iPhone directly mimicking my Aperture album.
The pictures come over perfectly, sorted by date as they are in Aperture. However, the videos have issues. Most importantly, only the ones originally created by my iPhone come back across to my phone, and in the correct album. Anything that I've created (Final Cut Pro X or iMovie) are not coming through (down-mixed as .mov files).
I do have the "include videos" box checked in iTunes; that only serves to bring over the iPhone-created movies, some of which it dropped into the synced album, some of which it decided to put into my videos album.
Anyone out there have any ideas what I could be doing differently? I'd like all my videos in my Aperture album to come across to my iPhone in the same album.
Second smaller issue is that movies I made on my iPhone 5s in slo-mo, though they imported to Aperture in slo-mo, are syncing back to my iPhone 5s in real time, not slo-mo.
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhone: 5s, 8.0.2
iMac: 10.9.5
iTunes: 11.4(18)

As a follow-up, I down mixed the video in FCPX using "Apple Devices" 720p. That did not help.

Shared photostream where is it?

My wife sent me an invite to a new photo stream "gary"
I clicked join, and aperture opened.
It then crashed.
I reopened and tried rejoining, it goes to the photostream section but there is no 'gary'
then I got a notification saying 5 new photos were added to gary, I clicked the noticification, aperture opened to photostream and just sat on 'my photostream'
Any ideas?

Hi I have the latest everything.
In the end I found my own solution. I went into icloud settings in preferences, then into photos, then options, switched of shared photos, then switched it back on again, and boom there they were.
Most odd.

Aperture unable to connect to photo stream

Aperture 3 and Photostream were working fine for me but now it's not. I think this started happing after Apple replaced the logic board and video card in my 2008 iMac. I'm using Lion and all software is fully up to date. I have photostream enabled in the mac icloud settings and turn it on in the aperture settings. It spins for a while and then says "aperture was unable to connect to photo stream", which also then disables photo stream in the icloud settings. I have uninstalled Aperture and all prefrences files using AppCleaner and reinstalled. I have also done some tricks which others have reported as working, such as logging out of icloud and then logging in as a different user and deleting preference files from ~/Library. I have also tried creating a fresh Aperture library. So far nothing has worked. If I look at the console I get a crash log caused by the PhotoStreamAgent that contains the following:

When I switch to Aperture on my old black Macbook photostream works fine. I'm stumped and frustrated. Short of wiping my drive and reinstalling the OS, does anyone have any thoughts on this? Thanks in advance.

Well if this just started happening since the iMac was worked on by Apple you should contact Support. You should still be under warranty for the repair so they should take care of it.

Photo Stream fails to load all photos from iPhone to Aperture (3.3.2)

using Aperture 3.3.2 on macbook pro with mountain lion - photos that do get imported are from other projects (aperture library on imac), and iphone photos don't get imported. Tried several things: turning off and turning on photo sharing from all devices, checking to make sure that no conflicts exist between iphoto, aperture, that shared Aperture libraries are sync'ed.
Also, tried to insert ONE photo from existing Aperture library into photostream. After 4 hours, no synchronization on any mobil device (iphone, ipads). Tried turning off photo stream in iphone and restarting it ..no problem recreating the stream...
Any ideas what to try? I'm stumped.
Thanks in advance

Photostream only uploads the photos taken (or imported to the device) AFTER you enable Photostream. Photos from prior to Photostream being turned on will not upload. You could just take screenshots of the older photos to create 'new' images, or transfer your photos to your computer manually.

MBP Retina or Powerful Ultrabook?

Hi, I've been a PC user all my life, but after working my way through the first iPod Nano, a couple iPod Touches, and now an iPad 2- I've grown to like the way Apple works. I'm finally at the point where I've decided to upgrade my 4-year old Future Shop sale Toshiba, which surprisingly has lasted me a good deal of time. However, I'm not a fan of the limited capabilities, the weight, and the fact that it very easily overheats (to nearly scalding temperatures), leading me to opt for my iPad most of the time. I'm a sucker for HD and quick boot-ups, so of course I fell in love with the MBP Retina when it was released. The only thing holding me back is the hefty price tag. Because of this, I began to research several ultrabooks and found that I could get the same specs (except for retina, but I'm fine with 1080p) and even a few bonus features (I would love a Blu-Ray drive and some accident-proof features) for half, or slightly-more-than-half of the price of the MBP. My favourite features of the MBP are the "little things"- fast bootup, magsafe, trackpad, and iCloud to work seamlessly with my iPad (which, i guess isn't really a "little thing"). I'm just not sure if these are worth the extra $1000 when I could just get an amazing PC.
I plan to use this computer in the following ways:
- Web browsing/ social networking
- Homework (university... of course)
- Entertainment (play movies, TV shows, etc)
- Some video and picture editing (I have a Sony camera which records AVCHD, which edits best on Sony Vegas)
- Running language software (i.e. Rosetta Stone)
So anyway, I'm not a gamer or a hardcore video editor, but I would like to be able to do some editing and video playback with clarity and without lag. As such, I figure I really only need the i5, so the base model of the Retina is fine for me. But again, I could get a **** good computer with i5 for much less money than the Retina, so I'm looking for reasons to sway either way. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
tj

Hmm...
'll readily admit, I'm a bit of an Apple head, so always say YEAH GO FOR IT.
However,
I'd say be aware, if you aren't going to use the power, you may be better going for alternatives, but I'll give you a rundown of some pro's and cons for your usage.
- Cold boots in 15 seconds flat
- can play 4 1080p streams at once without lag or framerate drop
- Photo editing on Aperture is excellent
- Photostream means your photos are there almost instantly wirelessly (not with the camera of course)
- Photoshop CS6 (when the retina patch is out) will look brilliant
- I had a photo zoomed out to fill half the screen size, of a whole person, yet could still see individual hairs on the head.
- Build, engineering, design and material quality unsurpassed in the industry (you cannot flex anywhere or make anything creak)
- Logevity, just upgraded from a 2008 Air - which was still going strong with no visible wear or damage/scratches
-Power, good graphics chip, switchable for battery life
- Video editing is amazing (on Final Cut Pro - which is Retina ready) you can veiw full 1080p with the interface still visible
Cons:
- Lag - on 'best for retina' its great, on 'More space' scaling, if you allow GFX chip switching, will cause serious lag - forcing the GeForce fixes this
- Other laptops will be great for your needs, and cheaper, but may not last as long
- The next generation in a year will likely iron out the lag issues
- Most programs are not yet retina ready - meaning they look... well... very dodgy indeed
I would say the MacBook is a fantastic machine and you will not regret the purchase, it will last you a good 3-5 years and you will thoughoughly enjoy it. It's an absolute joy to you and the trackpad and keyboard are brilliant. The speakers are also great.
However, you will likely get a notebook more than good enough for your needs, as you said, for much less money. If you can happily afford it - get the Mac, they are some of the finest computers money can buy. If it's a stretch - get a **** good alternative, you'll enjoy it equally and get great performance and some extra money in the old pocket!
Hope this helped a bit anyway - if you have any questions, ask away, more than happy to help

Is there a way to use the imac as a viewer for my Nikon Camera?

After I hook up my camera to the Imac, Aperture launches. Instead, I'd like to just use the Imac to view the photos that are on the SD card inside my camera. That way, I can easily delete the photos I don't want to waste hard drive space on. I could do minor cropping from inside the camera before saving the files to Aperture. And, Photostream wouldn't pick up all those photos I didin't want to save in the first place had I moved them all over to Aperture and just viewed it with the card. I want the imac to operate as a live monitor so I can view the photos on the SD card inside the camera. Any thoughts?? Just like you can using a TV that has the right inputs.

If your Nikon camera supports it, you can do what you want with Nikon's software.
