Aperture 1.1 will not import tiff file if name is the same as the raw file

Before Aperture I would open up a raw file in Photoshop, edit it and save it as a tiff or a psd file keeping the same name. When I import a folder of images saved like this the only files I see imported are the raw files and any tiff or psd file I renamed to something else. I tried looking under Images> New version from jpeg and it's grayed out with no option to see a tiff file.
I took a quick look and searched through the forum and found nothing. I can't be the only one doing this!

That's a ridiculous bug and the fact that you cannot see the entire filename (.nef, .tif, .psd) on the light table (except in tooltips) is pretty incredible too. It's like they were assuming there was no other previous workflow.
A workaround seems to be putting all the like named files in another folder before importing into Aperture. Time consuming if you have a few hundred projects and it could result in losing a few files here and there plus you need to manually add them to the proper stacks.
The concept of Aperture is still brilliant it just needs a lot more beta testing. It's kind of like Apple making Spotlight the default without giving you the option of using the clean straight forward old Find.

Aperture 3.2 will not import any older libraries.

Aperture 3.2 will not import any older libraries. Is there any way to get around this. I have 20 plus computers (students) running the older version and have upgraded mine just to see how good Lion is. Unfortunately, mine is where we gather all of the projects from the other computers so now we are stuck.
TIA

This does work but adds another step to the process.
Back in version 1 or 2 (before the "Add or Merge" dialog box) adding librarys was much easier. I could grab multiple libraries and drop them on Aperture and then leave for awhile and let them get imported. Now I can only do it one at a time because the dialog box often appears and delays everything. Is there anyway to default Aperture to ALWAYS ADD?

Aperture 2.1 will not import .crw from my Canon 300D Digital Rebel?

Hi
I am having problems with Aperture 2.1. I have a number of RAW files on my Canon 300D DSLR, which will not import into Aperture. Aperture recognises the camera and the photos via USB connection directly to the camera. However, when I click on import all (or for that matter if I attempt to import a single photo) I receive the following error box:
"Import From Capture Card Completed with Errors - 0 images have been imported into the project named "untitled project". - Aperture failed to import the 19 images listed below:"
It then list all of the images, for instance: CRW_0309.CRW.
I am almost certain that Aperture 2.1 is compatible with the Canon 300D and .crw files: does anyone have any idea why I am having problems? Please feel free to ask me any questions, which may help you to understand my issues.
This is my first post, sorry if I've done anything wrong.

You might be onto something there nbirchler ... whilst I have not installed all the Canon software I have got the Canon remote capture installed ... but more to the point I have iPhoto, Aperture, Elements, Photoshop, FinepixViewer, Adobe DNG and various RAW developer type packages, as well as god knows what else lurking ... maybe one of these was interfering as I had not specified a default program to interface with my camera.
Does anyone know if there is a window (shouldn't use that word in Appleland really lol), or menu in OSX (perhaps in system preferences or something) for selecting the default image download software for your camera? I assume if you say 'yes' to iPhoto on bootup, or 'yes' to Aperture it must just tick a box somewhere in OSX ... wheres the box?
It would be useful to interface directly with OSX before I insert my camera and ensure I have the package I want to open selected.

DNG files in old catalogs, where the same images are RAW files

Hello,
I use multiple catalogs in Lightroom, where some of the images are referenced in more than one catalog. Now I converted the RAW (in my case NEF) files to DNGs. This worked fine in the catalog I did this. But how do I tell Lightroom to use the DNG instead of the NEF file in other catalogs (still displaying "...NEF not found").
Regards,
Knut

You should have used Library > Convert Photos to DNG. That removes the NEF from the catalogue, but not from the hard drive, and puts the DNG in its place.
You are also making life hard for yourself by fragmenting the control of your picture collection across multiple catalogues. Each catalogue is totally independent and as you have images referenced in more than one, here you're going to have to fix the problem in each catalogue. Get everything into one catalogue, and subdivide your pictures into subjects or your other themes by using metadata such as keywords, and smart and dumb collections.

My itunes will not import songs from a cd. When i put the cd in usually itunes recognizes it and starts importing them but now it doesn't do anything. How can i get it to import cds again?!

please help

See if it will import a CD using Windows Media Player.
That will tell us if it is a system problem with the whole PC, or just a problem with itunes.

1080 H.264 will not import

I'm looking for the magic that will allow me to import a 1920x1080 H.264 stream from Compressor 3.0.1 into DVD Studio.
The stock preset of HD DVD:H.264 60 or 90 minutes takes the 1080 source down to 720. When I modify the preset and force it to create a 1080, it plays fine in QT, but will not import into DVD Studio.
If I encode with the pcm, DVD S will accept the audio...but no video
As a side note, I'm also having the same issue as some other posters with the 720 playing double time.
I've tried various bit rates with no success.
I know previous versions of DVD Studio would not support anything beyond 720 H.264 but the documentation I have read eludes to this not being true with the most recent version of studio.
Yes, yes MPEG-2 at 1080 appears to work, but I think the AVC codecs look better and you can certainly shoehorn more content onto a DVD-R while we in the states await the arrival of an HD burner that isn't bundled with a 3k laptop.
Thanks for reading my question/rant.

I experienced exactly the same problem today. First I imported a 5-minute, ProRes 422 HQ sequence (1440 x 1080) from FCP 6.01 to Compressor 3.01. The 60 and 90 min HD DVD presets have the PCM box checked by default, which they apparently should not be since, according to the DVDSP 4 manual, DVDSP 4 will only accept simple video streams. My original file, which took 2.5 hours to crank out on an 8-cylinder Mac Pro, played fine in the QuickTime player, just as you reported, but DVDSP 4 saw it ONLY as an audio file. (Yes, I activated the HD DVD box).
So I went back to Compressor once more, unchecked the PCM box, and transcoded once again. 2.5 hours later, DVDSP 4 rejected the new file altogether. I successfully accomplished this feat when using FCP 5+ last year, but I don't remember now whether I directly imported an HDV file to DVDSP 4 or trancoded it to H.264 first. My next step will be to try generating the H.264 file directly in QuickTime instead of Compressor.
On the other hand, there was a new version of FCS 2 out last week which needs OS X 10.4.11 in order to update, so maybe I'll try this first. I've got Leopard sitting on a spare drive, waiting for bug reports to die down before I summon the courage to make the switch....
By the way, I did not see where the stock HD DVD preset took the 1080 source to 720. The video format listing in my Compressor inspector said automatic, and I did not change any parameters.

Aperture 3 will not import image files on hard drives (need bug check).

For the past several days, I've been encountering an issue where Aperture will not recognize photos on a local hard drive (internal or external) for import, but will recognize the exact same image if it is located on a flash card. In fact, I can drag an image from a card to my desktop and it will not be recognized. If I drag it back to the card, it is available for import again. It is not a 100% occurrence however, but doesn't seem to have any rhyme or reason. Restarting Aperture does not help, but this is not to say it won't be working fine the next day.
I am investigating whether anyone else has this issue for a possible bug report.
Thanks

I'm having this problem right now. If I switch to a flash card reader with a card inserted, it immediately shows the thumbnails of files available for import. I just finished importing a backup folder of images and that worked as expected, but going back to other folders show nothing inside of them to import.
The File Types panel from Import Settings shows no exclusions checked and the RAW+JPEG Pairs settings do nothing (in any case, this should only apply to RAW+JPEG pairs, which I don't have).
Anybody else find anything that worked?

IPhoto will not import certain JPG files

I have just migrated to a 2012 Retina 15" MacBook Pro from a 13" MBP. I am using Mavericks 10.9.1 and iPhoto 9.5.1. The MBP is a 2.7gHz quad core with 16GB of memory and a 768GB SSD. I was trying to tidy up my hard disc and import some .jpg files from the output folder on my Capture One Session. iPhoto will not import certain jpg files but will import others. The message I get is as follows The following file could not be imported. The file is an unrecognised format. Then shows below for example /Users/xxxx/Pictures/Capture One Session/Output/L1000212.jpg.
I first tried creating a new library and importing to that with no success. I then rebuilt the database. I repaired permissions. I deleted the iPhoto.plist and its caches and restarted - no success. I then deleted iPhoto and reinstalled from App Store after deleting the plist and caches again. Still no luck. The .jpg files in question open perfectly in Photoshop CC and Preview. I tried altering them slightly and resaving but still they would not import. I reinstalled Mavericks - no improvement. If I reconvert the files from the original DNG's into TIFF files, then they will import to iPhoto
Any ideas anyone?
Wilson

I just recorded an action in Photoshop CC to assign ProPhoto colourspace save and close. Then copied all the problem jpegs into a temp file and ran the action. With this super fast machine, It only took a few minutes to convert 500+ files and they have now all imported perfectly. I have changed my JPEG recipe to convert DNG's from embedded to ProPhoto.
Thanks again. Colourspace would never have occurred to me.

IPhoto 6.06 Will Not Import RAW CR2 files Taken Through an Uncoupled Lens

If I use adapters to couple my Canon 20D to a telescope (which is an electronically uncoupled lens and has no lens-related exif data), iPhoto freezes and will not import a RAW Canon CR2 file taken through any telescope. It imports such jpegs just fine, and Preview can open either. iPhoto, however, must be forced to quit under the Apple menu.
It doesn't matter where the RAW file is...in the camera, on the desktop, in a card reader, or on a CD.
This is an obvious bug in iPhoto.

Do you have access to an Apple store, or a friend
with Aperture? It would be interesting to see if
Aperture has the same problem.
Not that it really matters, but a bug in both
iPhoto and Aperture is more likely to be fixed!
I don't know anybody who uses Aperture, and my nearest Apple Store is 120 miles away in Cincinnati.
I'm able to work around the problem since Canon's Digital Photo Professional, working with Canon's EOS Utilty, imports and processes these images just fine, as does Photoshop CS.
However, I miss the premise that iPhoto should be the central organizer and storage vessel for all of one's digital photos, making naming, finding, and backing them up a snap, even though a different program may be used for processsing them.
As an aside, Canon's download site warns that EOS Utility 1.1.1 will not work on Intel Macs; it does...with full functionality.
Thanks for your response.

Advice on .jpg files that will not import

I have .jpg files that are not importing into LR even though they open fine on my Mac. Is there anyway I can find out why LR will not import them? Any advice for dealing with images like this?
Thanks.

Usually it's due to Lr perceiving some file wonkiness that your Mac is less picky about (Lr prefers to keep details of such to itself...). ExifTool could probably fix it, without re-creating image data, if you knew how, but it might be simplest to just re-save the file using any software that will work, maybe save in tiff format, to prevent quality loss due to re-jpeg'ing a jpeg, and maybe metadata will be re-written in a format more palatable for Lightroom.

PSE 9 and 5 will not import - says the file already exists in the catalog !

I've already wasted 2 days looking for answers to this. When someone buys this program, at least half of the price is paying for the database in the Organizer - yet even John Ellis himself, who seems to know more than anyone about it, has gone to Lightroom. This is bad coding!!!
Upgraded from 5 to 9. If you read my previous posts, this took 2 days too, and phone help from a tech, because it would not install in my XP computer. It did upgrade the Organizer from 5, although many of the symbols are unusable and don't work to help me identify my tags. However, now I see that neither 5 nor 9 is able to look at a file and display thumbnails that are in it.
I move files around a lot for my business. Any half-way good database should be able to find the missing files, and also add any new images. Say I have 10 images in file A, then add 2 more to make 12. It can't see the added images! Says can't import, the file already exists in the catalog.
I tried: updating thumbnails, recover, repair, in both 5 and 9 - nothing works. to import the images that I can SEE in these folders! I read here that it will not import files if the same name is somewhere else. That alone is a problem. But I think it's more than that: even if the file used to be in another folder, folder B, it won't recognize that it's in folder A now!
Since PSE9 uses sql db, shouldn't that be better than 5 and be able to do simple tasks like this?
Any advice or similar experiences eagerly welcomed.

Thank you for replying, dj paiqe.
Do you mean the first little section that says photos may not be displaying? Yes, those just reveal hidden photos and are very basic. I did them.
I guess we disagree about databases and what they are designed to do, or maybe I didn't explain this well.
I did not move the images outside of the catalog: I move them to various folders, all already imported WITHIN the catalog, as I send them to various editors. (these are all drawings, not photos, and I do this professionally, so it needs to work).
Folder A and Folder B and Folder C have already been imported into the catalog. So if I move 2 images from folder B into folder A, the Organizer is simply lost, says image already exists, and everything is totally screwed up, as the image is no longer in folder B, and it can't find it in folder A!!! The problem is, unless I memorize the image name, say Image 9, I can't tell it to reconnect, as there is no longer an image in front of me! So there are 2 images, without names, now nowhere to be found. Inefficient, to say the least.
I've never tried Lightroom or Filemaker, but I cannot believe that they would lose data like this. I think it's the Folder coding that's not working in PSE, and I wanted this to work so badly!!!!!
I am willing to do it the PSE way, since you now have captions, keywords, etc, and it is a very powerful database, when it works. I understand that one is supposed to move images within the Organizer, obviously. But now many images are disconnected. I could start all over importing, but is there any way to do that without losing tags and categories?

I am trying to import cr2files from the camera into lightroom 5 and keep getting an error message saying Lightroom can not read the files and therefore will not import them. Has anyone had a similar problem-.thanks

If you are having the same problem, i.e. a disk permission problem, open your favorite search engine and search on, "change disk permissions", and I think you'll find plenty of information on how to fix the problem. This is a Lightroom forum. Your problem is with your operating system. There is no sense in rewriting instructions that are already available if you do a simple search.

TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
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.
Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
IPhoto and Aperture support - or don't - the same cameras.

Itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import

I have some songs on itunes, but now itunes won't add files or folders, also will not import at all.
I did an uninstall and reinstall but still does not work.
Can anyone help?
Lucille

Ok. So its finally working again. Not sure why, but maybe my experience will help someone else.
All I can say is that I have been trying a relentless combination of mounting and mounting the drive, checking and unchecking the 'copy files to iTunes Library', running 'consolidate library', and everything in between. One of them finally kicked it back into action.
Nice Apple. 9.2.1 isn't buggy at all...that's sarcasm.

PrE 11 will not import .jpg files from organizer

Hi,
I just upgraded from PS & PrE 8 to the lastest version 11. I'm running on a Windows 7 pc. My catalog was successfully converted and new pictures were added. I now want to create a dvd with both pictures and videos. I tried various ways to import .jpg files in PrE but some (most) of my files will not import. I get error messages about the files not being supported (missing codex) or the files being too large.
After reading on the forums and on Adobe help site. It seems opening and resaving the files in the organizer fix this. I try and it worked. As I have many files to import (200+), I wonder if there is a way to do some sort of a batch process for all file.
Secondly, also I read PrE can automatically resize the image file to the project size. How can this be acheive ?
Thanks for your help

Please see my answer to this question. It's essentially the same answer I'd give you.

You can not create a playable DVD or incorporate video and photos in the same project with full resolution photos on it. Video resolution/TV resolution is only 720x480 (standard resolution) or 1920x1080 (high rez).
Premiere Elements has a governor that limits the size of a photo you can add to a video project (which is probably what you're running into). In fact, you'll get much better results if you use LOWER resolution photos in your video project -- 1000x750 pixels for DVDs and standard resolution video and 2000x1500 for BluRays and high-def video.
