Auto update iPhoto to show aperture photos

I shoot in raw and use aperture to manage all my files. I have iLife 09 also and like the faces and places functions.
Is there any way of being able to open iPhoto and it automatically pulls all changes from my aperture library including any new imports? Ideally I'd like each aperture project as an event in iPhoto.
I know how to show my aperture library but that involves importing new events manually and I've heard there has been issues of iphoto not bringing metadata in with the photos, which would be vital as I geotag my photos before bringing them into aperture.
Regards

The problem is when you use the File -> Show Aperture Library command in iPhoto you’re not accessing the files only their Aperture previews.
The only way to do this is to export from Aperture - writing the metadata to the files along the way - then import into iPhoto.
There is some automation possible - if you can export to a Folder on the desktop then you can set an app like Hazel to watch that folder, and, on noting changes to automatically import to iPhoto (and trash afterwards).
My own take: Don’t bother. It never occurred to the developers of Aperture that it would have a wide usage outside the Pro setting. It never occurred to them that folks would want two-way communication between Aperture and iPhoto. My guess is that Places will be added to Aperture in the near future.

  • Iphoto 09 "Show Aperture Library" can't load images from Aperture 3.1

    I'm trying to create a calendar in iPhoto 09 using my photos in Aperture 3.1. When I select from iPhoto "Show Aperture Library" I just get the spinning wheel. Below is my environment and what I have tried:
    Environment:
    * iMac 27 3 ghz
    * 4 G Mem
    * 10.6.5 OSX
    * iLife 09
    * Aperture 3.1
    * All updates applied
    Below is what I have tried/verified:
    * In Aperture, Preferences, set the previews to share with iLife and iWorks "Always"
    * Reviewed export Presets - didn't see anything that may apply
    * Verified it worked on my old iMac (20 inch 2 ghz, ilife 09, Aperture Trail version 3.0.1)
    * Created a new Aperture library (new mac) and still can not see it from iPhoto
    Unfortunately, I can get into the Trail version on the old mac (expired) to see if something is configured differently or if this function is not supported in Aperture 3.1.
    I know I can export from Aperture and Import into iPhoto, but thats seems like a lot of work for what I need to accomplish.
    Someone please show me the light!

    It should work in 3.1 also so thats not the issue.
    First if you try to access the Aperture library from an application other then iPhoto, say mail, does that work? If it does then the problem is most likely with iPhoto. If you get the 'spinning beach ball' in mail then its looking like Aperture.
    Assuming its Aperture you should go through the steps outlined at [Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]. Do those and let us know what happens.

  • Time Machine backup of external iPhoto library shows recent photos only as outline, no image. Any suggestions?

    The Time Machine backup of my external iPhoto library shows all pictures 'now' but previous backups show the most recent pictures only as box outlines, some with a curled corner. How can I see all pictures to make sure TM has them? And if I would need to restore photos from TM can I do this one picture at a time or only the whole library? If I upgrade to iPhoto 11, a more recent OS, or both, do the answers to any of these questions change?
    Many thanks!

    You can not use the iPhoto library while it is a TM backup - you must restore it to use it - and you must restore it all

  • When I updated iPhoto, many of my photos disappeared.  The events are still there but no photos in them.  How do I get it back?

    When I updated iPhoto to iPhoto 9.5, many of my events with the photos disappeared.  The "events" are still there but there is nothing inside.  I have been unsuccessful in trying to get the photos back. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Greg

    Yes - backup first in case something goes wrong
    And if the iPhoto first aid does not resolve things download iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  and use its rebuild command to create a totally new library leaving the current one untouched if you still need it

  • IPhoto 11 "Show Extended Photo Info" item under "Photos"

    In my iPhoto 11, under Photos in the menu bar, the first item is "Adjust Date and Time".
    I do NOT see "Show Extended Photo Info".
    How do I make this menu item appear?

    You should post in -> Forum : Installing and using iPhoto '11.
    How do I make this menu item appear?
    You don't.
    Click the little white i at the lower right of the photo to see the photo info.

  • Iphoto not showing imported photos in events

    I have been using iphoto for quite a while with very few problems.  Recently I have added an iPhone and an apple TV into my apple ecosystem.  I have recently noticed that my iphoto library is NOT showing photos imported from 3rd party sources such as my android phone, in the events section of the interface.  The photos ARE present in the 'photos' section which leads me to believe that they are IN the library.  But when i look at the events and select one say for 3/24 it will only display the photos taken from my wifes iphone and NOT the ones taken from my andriod and imported using the add to library function.  I have attempted all four options in the command-option iphoto startup and have gotten no where. 
    Many of you might that that this is a non issue as the photos are present in the 'photo' section.  but as i prefer to use the fullscreen mode in iphoto i do not have access to the 'photos' tab in full screen, only the 'events'. 
    could my appletv or iPhone or appletv be a contributing factor?  Is there an option in events to only display iPhone imported photos? 
    Any help would be appricaited I am pulling my hair out here.

    1 - Photos and events are simply two different views of the same photos - your iPhoto library - so any photo that is in one is always also in the other - you are just looking in the wrong place
    2 - the most common issue is incorrect dates on photos so you look in the wrong location for the event - in the photos view right click on one of the photos that you are not seeing in an event and show event
    3 - another possiblity is the sort order of the events - verify it under the view menu ==> sort events
    4 - No - it is not your Apple TV nor is it your iPhone

  • After update, iPhoto won't import photos

    I've updated my computer with the latest OS X 10.7 and iPhoto updates.  Now, whenever I try to import photos, either directly from a camera or from my hard drive, iPhoto crashes.  When I relaunch, I get a message that says that a photo has been found in the iPhoto library that has not been imported, would I like to import it.  When I click yes it crashes again.  If I choose not to import the program comes up and I can manipulate and export photos, send to mail, etc.  Any ideas?

    Have a read of this thread:
    RAW files suddenly show up as "not supported" (Aperture 3.5.1, OS X 10.10)
    It explains how to delete the Camera Raw bundle, and then reinstall it. This has worked for other folks with Raw issues.

  • Updated iPhoto (2.0) and photo library upgrade is stuck

    I have just updated to iPhoto 2.0 on my iPhone 5. I get a message that the photo library on this device is being upgraded. For the last over 30 minutes. I have tried to reboot, uninstall iPhoto and then redownload load, but same issue. (I have done the same update on an iPad with no trouble.) Anyone have any thoughts on what I could do?
    Keith

    Mine is doing the same thing. I have 3000 pictures and let it run for almost an hour and no luck.  After a bunch of force closing and re launching it I got the message to go away but it shows no pictures.   Opened it again and now it shows the same "The photo library on this device is being upgraded". Anyone get past this

  • Time changes made in iPhoto not showing in Photos

         I've scanned a lot of physical family photos from when I was a child into iPhoto and changed the dates so they show in iPhoto on the correct day. So Xmas day 2000 showed up on 25 December 2000 as you would expect.
    Since importing into the new Photos App these correct dates haven't copied. Instead showing the date they where scanned.
    Is their a way to fix this or do I need to manually find all these pictures and manually adjust each one to the correct time?

    Haven't had the problem.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Iphoto wont show all photos of an album on top?

    Absolutely new to mac, so bear with me, still learning basics of keyboard and mouse!!
    When i open iphoto and select an album (all imported from pc via network or thru usb drive, none thru camera) only first photo shows and the film strip does not show on top. So, when want to select photos for, say, slide show or book etc, can not do it. On edit screen, all show on top as a film strip, but can not transfer them to slide show, or book etc. What to do?
    Thanks in anticipation.
    MACBOOK Mac OS X (10.4.9)

    The general rule of thumb is that where you would use Control on a PC, you use Command (the Apple key) on a Mac. To select discontinuous items use Command-click. To select a continuous range of items you can Shift-click on the endpoints, and all items included will become selected.
    To better become acquainted with your Mac and OS 10.4, try the Mac 101 courses. Or follow the link on that page to the Switch 101 course designed for users moving from PC to Mac. There is a lot of good information there.

  • Iphoto events show no photos

    Lately, when I double - clicked "Events" of each folder, I saw no photos inside the window; only saw "No Photos" on the top right corner.  I have tried rebuilding thumbnails and data.  No luck.  The fact is when I clicked "Photos", or albums, all photos were shown up accordingly.  Even, when I open iWeb, "Events" of iPhoto in the Media column show all the photos.  Wonder if this is the bug of iPhoto '11 (ver. 9.4.2.)  Any clues from the community?

    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • Iphoto events show fewer photo's than actually in event

    On the event's page, when hovering over the Event Name, the photo count differs from the actual number of photo's in the event.  Also, some events show a palm tree instead of a thumbnail of one of the photo's in the event.

    I rebuilt the iphoto database and that solved the probem. 

  • Updating iPhoto library memory full, photos gone!!

    Similar to the problem indicated in the response from: Muhamad Abdulkadir
    in this thread: Pictures disappeared after installing Yosemite and new Iphoto. Why
    When my iPhoto library (very large >1TB) was updating, it ran out of memory.  Unfortunately, something happened and on rebuild, all my photos were gone.
    Looking in the "Old Masters" that Muhammad mentioned, I see the folder structure, but no photos.
    Now under my "iPhoto Library Recovered Photos" folder, I have >1TB of data in that folder.  All the photos have a number appended to it (e.g. IMG_1469_14.JPG) in the example, the appended number is _14. 
    It sounds like this is all my photos, and would love to restore these photos, but can't seem to do it.  I do have a backup, but its offsite at the moment.  Any ideas?

    Thanks Larry! 
    You bring up a great point..  Based on your comment "..assure that you have adequate disk space available..."  It sounds like the upgrade copies the library and tries to upgrade it?  When not enough memory is available, it would generate the "memory full" message?  Somehow, when I saw it said memory full, I assumed it was RAM related and not storage..  If it is storage, then that makes sense, because I have just under 1TB available.
