Aperture 2.0 Previews not working in iPhoto 08

I am using Aperture 2.0 and iPhoto 08 with all the most recent updates available. I have iPhoto 08 setup to show previews of my Aperture projects. I did this by telling iPhoto not to organize my photos and leave them in the current location. The previews are viewable in IPhoto, but when I edit or change the photos in Aperture, the changes do not reflect in Iphoto until I clink on the actual photo I updated in Aperture. Then I will see them, but when I click back to the main events window the incorrect older preview of the photo shows up. I have re created both my Aperture and iPhoto libraries with new "test" photos and the problem still exists. I tried this same scenario in the Apple Store on a MacBook Pro and the previews update automatically in iPhoto without any intervention from the user. Any ideas why my Aperture/iPhoto isn't working the same way?

The anomaly there is whatever you witnessed in the Apple Store.
When you import the Preview into iPhoto it makes a thumbnail of it. That's what you see in the Event window.
iPhoto has no way of knowing about changes made to a photo by another application unless those changes are made via iPhoto (as an external editor, for instance). So, it does not read the Aperture database live, it cannot know there have been changes, so it does not update it's thumbnail. Because you're referencing the files in Aperture when you access the file you get the latest version. If you weren't, then you would never know there had been a change in iPhoto.
I guess they thought that folks would only share with the other apps after you finished processing them.

"one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".

I have some folders in iPhoto called 'Recovered Folder'. When I try to delete them I get this message: "one or more of the items in your selection contains Aperture albums that are not supported in iphoto".
I don't use Aperture (did install it to try it out), and have deleted Aperture App from my Mac.
How can I get rid of these fodlers?

i finally figured this out:
fyi, iphoto and aperture can now share (i.e., access) the same library. apple details it here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
i use both iphoto and aperture, and i suspect something went amiss, at some point, while aperture was accessing my iphoto library.
this is how i fixed the problem:
i launched aperture, then (per the instructions linked above) switched to (i.e., accessed) my iphoto library. i was then able to delete the "recovered folder" and the album it contained. i then quit aperture and relaunched iphoto.
NOTE: at that time, although i expected the "recovered folder" to be gone, it was still present. but this time, i was able to delete the folder from within iphoto without the "contains aperture items" error message.
(Sparky030405, i realize you've since deleted aperture. while i can't say my method is the *only* way to solve this problem, it's the way i was able to solve it. so, you might consider reinstalling aperture in order to delete the folder, then uninstalling aperture, once again.)

HT2638 since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. i have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open

Since updating iPhoto it has ceased to open. I have tried to Hold down the Command and Option keys on the keyboard which is the suggested solution to then open a suggested solution to rebuild the library, but it does not work. iPhoto still does not open. can someone please help?
thank you

Try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache folder(s):
Home/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
and, if there is one, the
Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:

Preview not working in 10.6

Preview not working in 10.6. Not able to open multiple JPG files. No problem in 10.5.7.
Any solution?

I've been following this thread and several others about this same issue with interest. Today I went to Astronomy Picture of the Day to take a look at the pix for August and downloaded eight of them. Whether it matters or not, I made a folder on my Desktop, then dragged the full picture from its "picture only" page into the folder. After I finished I opened the folder, did Command-A and double clicked the group. All eight opened in Preview and I used the down arrow to move from one to the next.
I did an upgrade install of Snow Leopard on a VERY clean install of Leopard (pretty much no third party anything had been added, certainly no haxies, Contextual Menu items, Input Managers, menu bar extras, and only a limited number of third party applications).
So unfortunately it looks like I can't investigate this issue since I can't reproduce it. Haven't seen anything in the discussions of the issue so far that lead me any theory about why some people have it and some, including me, don't.

Videos not working in iPhoto

Installed Snow Leopard last week and since then I cannot get my video files to play through iPhoto (I have the 08 version). I installed Quick Time 7 as suggested in a discussion elsewhere, but it didn't do the trick. I can get the videos to play through QT if I open the files through Finder, just not working w/ iPhoto.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Try this:
Launch the Terminal and at the prompt paste
sudo /usr/libexec/xpchelper --rebuild-cache
It will ask for your password. Type it in (but remember it won't show it to you) and hot return.
Quit the Terminal and restart iPhoto.

Aperture serial number does not work

I just got a Mac Book Air, my Aperture Serial number does not work. it tells me it is not correct. How can I use my software now?

First how did you purchase Aperture and how did you install it on the Air? As the Air does not have a DVD drive it would help to know how you got the app onto it.
Start with Troubleshooting Professional Application Serial Numbers and see if that helps.
There is also Pro Application Replacement Serial Numbers if you're not able to get your serial number working.

Preview not working!!! Blank document appears!

My Preview stopped working! I downloaded a few PDF documents, thinking that Preview would automatically launch and open the files. Preview did launch, however, all I saw were blank white documents, nothing on them.
Next thing I did was open my Adobe Reader application and tried to read the PDF documents. Yes, it worked. I was able to see the documents.
But why is Preview not working correctly? What is happening?

Hi, Makiko. The version of Preview that came with Panther is old, and some of the features that newer PDF-creation software can build into PDF files may not be supported by it. In other words, your Preview application became static several years ago, while the PDF file format has continued to evolve. Your Preview can probably still open all the other file formats that it opened when it was new, but you may want to set things up so that all PDF files are handled by Adobe Reader instead. To do that, click once on any PDF file in the Finder and choose Get Info from the File menu. In the "Open with" section of the Get Info window, choose Adobe Reader from the drop-down menu, then click the Change All button. Close the Get Info window. Now all PDFs that you double-click will open in Adobe Reader.
Note that at present, the latest version of Adobe Reader that works in Panther is 7.1.0. If you have an earlier version, you may want to update it.

Preview Not Working - pls helpp..

Hi there,
I'm running Lion on my Macbook Pro and have a problem with Preview not working.
It seems to have almost jammed and has a document that I don't think I even have anymore in it's title bar.
The timeout / loading wheels continues to spin and I have to Force Quit.
I have tried deleting the com.apple.Preview.plist - but this hasn't done anything.
Any ideas & help greatly appreciated.

To add to this. When I open it (preview) the file that it looks like it's opening is titled 'ai.icns'. I've got no idea what this was but have seen that it's a large graphics folder. I very possibly clicked on it whilst doing some work the other day and went to shut it down quickly and now it looks like it's in a state of opening-up but without actually getting anywhere..

Deleting Aperture previews not working as expected

Hello,
I am trying to reduce the number of pictures from my Apreture library that show up in the Media Browser. As far as I can tell, I need to tell Aperture to stop automatically generating previews and then I can manage them myself.
This is what I am doing:
1. Within Aperture Preferences I have unchecked the box that says "New projects automatically generate previews"
2. Under the option "Share Previews with iLife and iWork" I have selected "When quitting Aperture"
3. Under the Library Actions menu (little gear icon in the Library bowser pane on the left) I have unchecked "Maintain Previews For Project" for all of my projects
4. Under the Photos menu I have selected "Delete Previews for Library"
5. Quit Aperture
6. Open Mail app and compose an email. Then try to attach a photo from my Aperture library
7. Proceed to notice that ALL OF MY APERTURE PICTURES STILL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA BROWSER!
This is driving me crazy and I don't know why it's not working. There seem to be a number of users that are successfully managing their previews like this.
Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Frank,
3. Under the Library Actions menu (little gear icon in the Library bowser pane on the left) I have unchecked "Maintain Previews For Project" for all of my projects
What did you have selected in the library when you unchecked this?
I had the particular project that I wanted to exclude selected.
4. Under the Photos menu I have selected "Delete Previews for Library"
You selected all your images (or at least the ones you want to delete the previews for) before running this. correct?
Yes I did.

IPhoto preview not working

Preview is not working? My computer recently upgraded to the newest iPhoto. All my pictures are still there and they are all assigned to the proper album/event but the preview just shows empty gray slots. Any tips on how to fix this? thanks!

Try the following:
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 and #2 if needed.

Aperture to iPhone sync not working

I am trying to sync photos from Aperture to my iPhone and something is not working. The photos and albums that show up in iTunes when I select the iPhone are old and have been deleted from Aperture. Most of them are sample bird photos that came with Aperture. Those are long gone but they still show up in iTunes and my new albums don't. iPhoto sync works though. Any suggestions on what to try would be appreciated.

If I had this problem, I'd try shaking things up by following instructions to create a new Aperture library, and then checking whether iTunes reflects the projects of the new library. If so, there's a good chance the problem will correct itself when Aperture is instructed to open the main library.
I'd also see if there's an old library on my hard drive (with the demo bird photos) and I would delete that library and check whether iTunes now lists no projects at all.

Video previews not working in iTunes

Hi all,
I've seen this posted a few different ways without any resolution to the problem so I thought I would give it a shot.
Video previews are not working properly for me. When in the iTunes Store and I click on a "View Trailer" for a movie or preview for a music video, a pop-up window appears in iTunes with a white background. The audio will kick in but the video never starts. I am using iTunes 9.2 (61).
Has anyone uncovered a solution to this?
Thanks!

Just to clean this unresolved issue up, seemingly the problem disappeared after upgrading to iTunes 9.2.1 (5).
Thanks!

ICloud is not working in iphoto, iCloud is not working in iphoto

Hi,
I am having difficulties with installing iCloud 9.5.1. on my iMac from 2007. I have updated all operating systems, but still iPhoto is not working properly. The main reason why I wanted to upgrade from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto 9.5 is the iCloud feature. So all my pictures taken with my iPhone are synced to my iMac. Here lies the problem, I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
I have reinstalled iPhoto several times, cleaned it from the OS via CleanMyMac, but still is not working.
I used to use an WD external harddrive as my library, but not anymore. Maybe there is still a hidden path somewhere in my computer referring to that old location? I have made a new local library on my iMac, but also this did not resolve the problem.
I can import pictures from a local folder, or iPhone to the newly installed iPhoto. Although this takes quite some time, this part of the program seems to work.
Anybody some good advice? I don't know anymore where to find the problem.
Many thanks in advance!

I cannot check the iCloud box in the preferences of the installed iPhoto 9.5.1 Neither can I check the option to use iCloud under the iCloud tab in the iPhoto overview.
You do no say how the System Preferences "iCloud" options are set.
Have you clicked the "Options" button besides Photos in the System Preferences iCloud and enabled "My Photo Stream"?
You have upgraded to MacOS X 10.9.3, if you are using iPhoto 9.5.1, right?

Drag and Drop not working in iPhoto

I have a brand new MacBook Pro running Lion, and recently when I try to drag and drop in iPhoto, it stops working. I want to drag photos from iPhoto to a folder on my desktop in order to upload those pictures online. I have never had a problem with drag and drop in Snow Leopard, but suddenly Lion does not want to let me do it.
I checked around and found out about repair permissions, which I did, then I restarted the computer. Drag and Drop worked for a few minutes, then all the sudden it wouldn't let me again. I was in the same album, trying to drag and drop the same group of pictures, and nothing had changed when it just stopped working again. I really don't want to have to restart the computer EVERY time it wont let me do this. Does anyone have any other advice? Command copy/paste works for now, but drag and drop is just easier so I'd like to get the issue resolved! Oh, and my software is completely up to date as well.

Does anybody have any ideas?
I've updated to the new version of iTunes since I originally posted this,
but the drag and drop feature is still not working. This is making it
impossible for me to update anything on my iPod.
Thanks!
