Cannot import .jpe photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Help!

I have just installed Aperture 2.1.2 trial version to explore if it will serve my purposes. However, when I tried to import my iPhoto library, approximately 2000 photos were said to be in an unsupported file format. It turns out that these are all the photos taken by my Konica Minolta 7D camera, which downloaded to iPhoto just fine as .jpe files (Minolta uses this file extension to indicate jpeg photos with embedded colour info--AdobeRGB in this instance).
I am more than a bit taken aback that a file format that works fine in iPhoto appears to not work in Aperture.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this? If Aperture cannot cope with my KM 7D images, than I guess the trial is over.
Grateful for any help or advice from the community.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about reversing the process you've described, but you can set up the equivalent structure (make albums in place of your iPhoto events) and use iTunes to synch your iPhone to Aperture instead of iPhoto. If you've decided to do your main work in Aperture this would perhaps be the best way forward.

How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 into Aperture v3.0

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 v9.4.3 into Aperture v3.0. When I select import I get a message saying Aperture cannot import libraries from version earlier that iphoto 7.1.5 and tells me to upgrade to a lter version of iphoto. Advice ?

I am on MAC OS X Version 10.8.5
Is Aperture 3.0 still correct or have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5? Only Aperture 3.4.5 can import iPhoto 9.4.3 libraries.
As I said above, you can download the updater for Aperture here:
Use this link: Aperture 3.4.5

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

Hi cannot import RAW photos from my canon eos 5d mark 3 to iphoto 9.6 with iOS X Yosemite. Fotos are black. Did you have a solution for that?

Thanks. Once ImageCapture had accessed the photos, THEN iPhoto began to pick up the data, so I was ultimately able to do both. It only worked with the cable, though, not the card readers. Weird.
And I really appreciate the ImageCapture tip. Any idea why it worked?

How do I import RAW photos into iPhoto? I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5.

I cannot import RAW photos from my Olympus EPL-2 camera. I am using iPhoto 7.1.5. I read that iPhoto has to update their system and add each camera to be able to import RAW photos from it. If this is true, how can I let Apple know to add my camera. Thanks in advance.

The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
Therefore the Raw for every camera model needs to be added individually. If yours is not supported then let them know you want it:
iPhoto menu -> Provide iPhoto Feedback
When support is added I also expect that you'll need iPhoto 09 or 11.

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

Importing edited photos from iPhoto

What settings do I need to change in order to import only my edited versions of photos from iPhoto into aperture 3?

thanks for the reply,
I certainly understand your point of course.
Well, I thought since they were already in iPhotos original library, why have them saved twice. I do understand that they would be easily retrieved and used if in Aperture for sure. However, I guess when Aperture imports them or iPhoto exports them to Aperture, they are sent with edited version along with the original. I then figured out how to use the stacks in Aperture. I was going to make a slideshow and noticed that when I pressed the slide show that it was adding both the edited and orignal version to the slide show, so all I had to do was to close all Stacks and it worked as I wanted.
But I quess I would like to know if there are now two versions of the originals taking up space on my HDs, one in iPhotos library and one in Aperture. I have 16,000 photos and want to save space on my hard drives. So the next question would be what happens to the orignal library in iPhoto when you export your iPhoto library into Apertures library?
Thanks,

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

When importing raw photos from Nikon D90 aperture seems to automatically adjust exposure darker. why? How can I stop this?

This is typical of the default NEF RAW conversion of Aperture and the best thing you can do is set up a few presets to apply to all of your RAW images to get a tone curve and colors that is pleasing to you as a default. The in camera JPEGs / embedded JPEGs (that you first see during import) are treated to the Nikon "Picture Control" settings that are set on the camera - the RAW's as interpreted by Aperture are not.
I have written extensively and even have a few downloadable presets on my site - look for NEF...

Cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to iPhone

I cannot sync any photos from iPhoto to my iPhone. When I select the box to "Sync Photos from iPhoto," it displays "0 photos" regardless of what other settings I try (all photos, selected albums, etc.). Attempting to sync from folders other than iPhoto works fine.
I have tried removing the iPod Photo Cache. (First syncing the iPhone with no photos selected, then removing the phone, closing iTunes and iPhoto, trashing the cache, emptying the trash, rebooting the iMac, restarting the phone, reattaching the phone, and trying to sync again.)
I've tried searching the internet for a solution, but have only found threads going off in multiple directions with no clear advice.
iMac running OS X 10.9.1
iPhoto 9.5.1
iPhone 4S running iOS 7.0.4

Additional info: I tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and even rebuilding the database in iPhoto. Rebuilding eliminated all ordering in my albums. Since this seemed to be only messing things up further, I then tried restoring my entire iPhoto Library from a previous version in Time Machine (when synching photos still worked). However, the problem persists. I am still unable to sync any photos from iTunes to my phone.

I cannot email a photo from iphoto. A message comes up that says " email server did not recognize username / password combination ". There does not seem to be a way from inside iphoto to fix that. Any suggestions ?

Have you set Mail.app or iPhoto as Mail client in the iPhoto Preferences? Mail.app is working more reliable than iPhoto as mail client.
See this post by Old Toad:
Re: I am trying to email photo's from iphoto and I am getting the error message "The email server didn't recognize you username/password combination. I have always been able to email photos out of iphoto. Any suggestions?

What versionn of iPhoto? Of the OS? what exactly did you do and how exactly did you import? what happens? are they in the Last Import list? What is the source fo the photos? What else can you tell us?

Importing photos from iPhoto to Aperture

Importing from cd, Nikon camera, and cf memory card to Aperture Library is working well for me; but importing from iPhoto is troublesome.
If I import from the iPhoto Library (a Library that has always seemed unnecessarily complex to me), there is neither rhyme nor reason to the import. If I import from within the open iPhoto program, everything comes out badged--even when I send the information to the Aperture Library.
Does anyone have a preferred way of importing albums and smart albums from iPhoto to Aperture?
Do you think it might be best to simply leave what is on iPhoto there, and start fresh with new photos in Aperture?
Thanks for your input,

I tried importing iPhoto ONCE. Ugh.
After deleting it (how arcane are rolls when Aperture
allows much better control), I then used reference
iPhoto library. Same issue with structure of course,
but at least it no longer duplicated space.
I then used Aperture's speed at selecting to
determine what I wanted to import into Aperture. I
then created my project and folder structure in
Aperture and drag/dropped my selected images to my
target project. Then I killed off the iPhoto
reference.

Thanks, David, your response helps me feel somewhat less foolish/incompetent.
I had actually made peace with iPhoto5, using a combination of albums and smart albums,after disliking all the previous versions. Now, I just want iPhoto out of the way.
Last night I imported all iPhoto material into
Aperture (rolls, ugh!!). In addition, I set up two special albums for prized family photos.
After looking it over again this morning and reading your thoughts, I think that I will keep only the two special albums (from iPhoto) in Aperture, leave in iPhoto all the pictures that started out there, and backup the iPhoto pics on external hard drive. And never put anything else in iPhoto.
Once again, thanks for your helpful thoughts.

Importing photos from iphoto into aperture

Hi
I am currently importing my photos one album at a time from iphoto into aperture as this is what I was told is the best way to do it. My organization up to now ***** so I am trying to organize everything now. But I have pictures in my iphoto library that were never put into an album, so how will I be sure that I have all the photos imported into aperture before I delete them???? Also how can you tell if all the pictures in a project are in an album? I had a picture in 2 different albums and deleted it from one album but it deleted it from both - what did i do wrong??

You may want to invest a tiny bit of time reading something like this before you put a whole bunch of time into organizing things in Aperture:
