Aperture 2 doesn't show my images unless I filter "Show all"

Hi,
I am using Aperture 2.1.4 in Snow Leopard with a fairly big photo library (4,000+ images).
If I look in any project or folder and filter by 'Unrated or Better' or with any * rating it does not show any of my images. The only way I can display my images is to filter by "Showing all" when it shows every images in the project/folder. Smart folders, MobileMe folders, etc all exhibit the same behaviour.
Many of my images are rated images and many are unrated and as far as I can tell, I have no other filters in place. I am at a complete loss as to what is causing this, re-installing Aperture had no effect, it appeared to start with Snow Leopard but I am not sure as I haven't used Aperture for a while.
Starting with 'command-option' held down and repair seems to hang but maybe I am just not patient enough to let it complete.

Tried rebuild again and it worked, strange. Please ignore this thread.

Ordering Prints: Thumbnail shows original image and does not show edits. Will edits be printed?

When ordering a print, the thumbnail shows the original image without any iPhoto edits. Is this a bug? How can I make sure my prints will come out with edits?

The thumbnail should reflect any edits made unless they were made with a 3rd party editor incorrectly. How did you edit the photos? With iPhoto or a 3rd party editor?

A bunch of weird bugs? Fill cell changes font. Show all subtasks show changes in cells. Filter shows deselected tasks

I'm having some difficulties with a couple of weird UI / Font related changes. Have anyone else experienced this or have a solution?
I'm using:
Microsoft Project Professional 2010
v. 14.0.7106.5003 (32 bit version)
1. When I try to fill a row with a color - MSP2010 changes the font and fontsize:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/6cyudoi3i88owln/UI-Bug_fontchange_mini.avi
This is just one example, when changing fonts I have issues all the time. For example MSP sometimes adds new activities with the same font as all other activities (Arial 8pt) and other times decides that it shoud use (Calibri 11pt).
2. When I expand all subtasks in outline MSP says that values of custom cells have changed:
(look at column called "Verkligt arbete.") Custum formula is: [Tal1]*[Tal2]/100
https://www.dropbox.com/s/jive7nrqbmmqcia/custom%20column%20change.avi
3. Filter does not filter out summary activities
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ytmskqhtfxg5i7a/Filter%20issue.png
I do reccomend that you download the video files since Dropbox renders them at lower quality when watched on their homepage.
To be completely honest, I'm trusting Microsoft Project 2010 less and less each day I use it. If the basic stuff does not work, how can I trust that the more advanced things does work?

PrGus,
Yes updates are cumulative but the reason I don't normally recommend users install the latest update is that cumulative updates do not receive the same level of thorough testing that service packs receive. The
following "disclaimer" is attached to each cumulative update:
"However, this hotfix is intended to correct only the problem that is described in this article. Apply this hotfix only to systems that are experiencing the problem described in this article. This hotfix might
receive additional testing. Therefore, if you are not severely affected by this problem, we recommend that you wait for the next software update (i.e. service pack) thta contain this hotfix".
The June 2013 cumulative update was released after SP2 and contains a significant number of fixes. Cumulative updates since then have had very limited functional changes. That's why I recommend the June 2013
cumulative update but do not normally recommend the latest cumulative update.

Preview app shows png image as transparent window

When I open a PNG file in Preview.app, it doesn't show the image. it just shows a transparent window the size of the image. I can preview the image in the Finder fine. Note the transparent window in the screenshot:
Is there a cache or preference file I should delete?
Thanks,
-Scott

Here is another thread on similar issue
Preview - Outline only appears?
There are at least two different solutions within it - one involves a separate (free) program called Etrecheck, the other possible solution does not.
Did you recently update? And what system are you having this issue with? On the MBP or Mac Mini?

Aperture 3 Import Dialog Doesn't Show Any Images

Sometimes the import dialog just doesn't show any images. First time I encountered this I had to restart Aperture. But now even that doesn't help.

Any ideas or fixes?

Hello qua
You don't say what your source is when your imports have been experiencing problems. Are you importing directly from a camera (or a card in a card reader)? Or are you importing images which have already been downloaded to your hard disk?
I've just completed importing approximately 5,000 images which date back to 2001, across several hundred projects. These have, obviously, been imported from an existing disk-based archive. Every so often, I'd find what you've described - the import window with the source correctly selected, but no preview images. I never worked out a pattern for this behaviour. However, I found dealing with it +for my particular circumstances+ was as simple as pressing <escape> to cancel the import and then immediately beginning the import again. It never failed on the second time around. I never needed (for this problem) to quit and restart Aperture, let alone reboot my system.
The problem I just described was being experienced on a fully patched 3.0.1 system. Of course, you might be experiencing something slightly different...

Gary

When I use Firefox to monitor changes I do to HTML files locally, it does not show changes to images unless I restart the browser. Is this a bug?

I have the local and the remote versions of a page open in two tabs. I change one of the images (keeping the same name in the HTML) and upload the changed image. The tab that shows the remote page only takes a refresh to show the change. The tab showing the local page not. I have tried opening it in a new window but it still does not change. Only if I restart Firefox does it show the change. Why? Is this a bug?

grantheaslip's suggestion doesn't work for me; no change at all. (Thanks anyway.) Any other ideas? Is there another way to "hard" refresh? I don't see anything in the menu.
Also, it seems like this is a very recent problem. I thought in the past that a regular refresh did the job.

Exporting file as .doc doesn't show attached image

I need to create a combined cover letter/resume as a Word doc. So I created a file in Pages with my cover letter and attached a pdf resume image. I created the resume in Illustrator and then saved the Illustrator file as a pdf. This image shows up fine in Pages file. I then Exported the Pages file as a Word doc, but when I go to view the Word doc or when I email the file to others, the attached pdf image doesn't show. I thought maybe I needed to embed the pdf image for it to show up in the Word doc, but can't find any info about it on the web. I really want to use the file I created in Illustrator because it contains some graphics that pertain to some of my skills listed in the resume. Any information would help.

Welcome to the forum.
What do you mean by "attached"?
In Pages you just drag the .pdf into the page and it appears as a graphic and that exports correctly to Word in a quick test I have just done.

Aperture doesn't show video imported from Canon 5D Mk 3

When I'm importing video to Aperture 3 from Canon 5D Mk 3, the files show up in Aperture with black screen. Sound is OK and the duration is unchanged but there's no image. In Finder, Quicktime and for example After Effects the video shows up normally so I can convert it to other formats, but that way it's more complicated than it should be.
Also, when using Compressor to convert the files the end result is the same. Haven't tried to import the videos to Final Cut Pro X yet... Has this happened to anyone else and what can I do to fix this? I tried to import a file to my girlfriend's Aperture 3 and it worked normally there.

Thanks, but can you elaborate as I'm new to both video and FCE. What are the item property of the clips versus in the sequence, can you advise me what settings to use, how can I find these properties? any info will help
Cheers

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.

After 10000 images, Aperture begins to importing new images out of order

Hi All,
I'm at about 13,000 images and from time to time I noticed that whenever I imported images after 10,000...Aperture at that point had begun the numbering sequence over again, some of the images would wind up next to its identically numbered image say from a year ago. In other words, Aperture is sorting by image number instead of by date even though I've selected date.
Now it is happening all the time and all the new images (after 10,000) are finding their home somewhere within the catalog of images instead of at the very end.
I thought I was going to be able to resolve the issue quickly by selecting the 'sort by image date' but that does not fix it. I've tried sorting the dates in an ascending and descending order but nothing I try fixes the sequence. I desperately need to get my images back into chronological order. Any idea?
Thanks,
Tyler

orehek -
Are you renaming the images on import? and if so, which preset are you using? Aperture doesn't have its own naming system otherwise. It uses the file names as the version name.
Also, as another poster asked, which view are you using to view them all at once? All Photos? You can't have more than 10K versions in a single project I believe but I don't see how that could contribute to the weirdness you are seeing.
As for why sort by date doesn't work, that makes no sense. Unless what you actually have is correct, ie, you have duplicate images in your library, that rightly have the same date and name, so the sorts reflect that. Or you have made new versions from your existing images - those would also sort like that. Can you give us some more details/examples?

Aperture doesn't see iPhone 4; sees Canon camera but not photos

From the App Store, I recently downloaded and installed Aperture 3 on my 2008 MacBook Pro with OS 10.6.6. In the preferences for Aperture, Image Capture, and iPhoto, I set Aperture to open automatically when I connect a camera. When I connect my iPhone 4, Aperture doesn't open, nor does the iPhone appear in Aperture when I open Aperture manually. When I connect my Canon Powershot A710IS, Aperture does open, and the camera does appear, but the photos that are on the camera don't appear in the pane (they're JPEG images). I haven't excluded any file types in the Import Settings, and I've tried both JPEG Only and Both (JPEG as Master) under RAW + JPEG. All of this worked fine with iPhoto '09, which is what I was using before I switched to Aperture. If I change the preferences back to what they were, with iPhoto set to open automatically when a camera is connected, it works like it used to. Any ideas? It would be a pain to have to import everything into iPhoto and then transfer it to Aperture.

Ubele,
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean about reading the Terms of Use. I read them. Did I do so something incorrectly?
No, didn't mean to imply anything was wrong. Some of us in the forum just like to point out the Terms of Use to new users. Sorry about any confusion.
There's also the iPhone issue, where my iPhone doesn't show up at all in Aperture
I don't have an iPhone to help with personal experience. However, I seem to remember other users have reported that they can use their iPhone with Aperture only when iTunes is also active. However I cannot find any of those threads at the moment to help direct you to better details.
Yes, I do have new images on my camera. When they didn't appear in Aperture, I opened iPhoto, and they showed up there.
This is indeed curious. Without any really good ideas at the moment, I would suggest [Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805], as there may be something wrong with your library.

Oracle lite application not showing blob images in BI reports

Hi,
We have an application running in Oracle lite, we integrated the BI publisher reports (PDF reports are generated Using Data template and RTF file with Java API for BI publisher) with the application. Its been working fine for a long time.
Now we are showing some images on the pdf report, the images are stored in the Oracle lite database as blobs. My application fails when translating the Data template to xml data. I am not getting any exception other than out of memory error after a while.
anybody had the same problem? Let me know if you need more information on this problem.
Any help will be great!!

Hi Carsten
That was exactly* I was looking for. Maybe I should Google more in German ;-)
The main problem was that I defined my image outside the first repeating group (that doesn't repeat, it's always just one object) - the first group is followed by 7 more.
Just like the "Name" (that's positioned outside the group in the document header), I positioned the image above the table representing the group.
Doing that, the "Name" is filled correctly, the Image only when the Output Format is Excel or HTML - not Word or PDF ... makes no sense but that's tje way it is.
After moving the image inside the group....it works great!
(One more thing...the image size is fixed to the image you use as "dummy". Is there any way to make that more flexible, because now some scaling happens...)???
@Trent: That was the way we initially did it, but when the size of the row exceeds 32K...you know what happens.. And even with a small image the 32K limit is hit easily
The way I use it now (very similar to Carsten's description) there is no limit....
Thank you all!

Mail not showing embedded images

This problem has been bugging me for a while.
I am getting some emails (from my company communications) that are incorrectly formatted by Mail. I see big boxes labeled "Missing Plug-in". The rest of the text is there, but those big boxes make the mail hard to read.
So today I decided to look a bit deeper into the problem. I brought it down to the presence of image tags that call for embedded images (included as attachments) using the "cid:" protocol. For example:
<img src="cid:[email protected]" alt="Find" border="0">
Is this a restriction in mail (I am running mail 6.1 on Mountain Lion). Or is there some config parameter I need to tweek to enable support for embedded images ?
Thunderbird has no problem. I also did a quick check with Google Mail and Yahoo Mail, and neither show the images. But they just show nothing, so the resulting email is still readable. Mac OSX Mail shows big boxes with the "Missing Plug-in" note. I would be happy if Mail just ignored the images.
I should point out that mail on iPhone and iPad work fine (they display the images).

Why Aperture doesn't send the RAW file to Photoshop

I've seen the complaint about Aperture not passing the original RAW file to Photoshop in several places in this forum. I think I have a reason for why Aperture doesn't work this way.
The reason has to do with the 1st law of digital RAW photography. "Never, ever, overwrite the original RAW data from a camera's RAW format file."
Because of the above rule, both Aperture and Photoshop do not actually work on the original RAW file. They transform the RAW image data into a usable image using user specified settings (which may be the camera's default setting for that image). The original RAW file is left untouched.
When you open a RAW file in Photoshop and try to save it, you'll be prompted for a new file name. You wouldn't want to overwrite the original RAW file by writing the edited image data back to it.
When you edit an Aperture RAW file using Photoshop as the external editor, Aperture first creates a TIFF or PSD version image file in its library and then passes that file name to Photoshop. Photoshop opens the TIFF or PSD file and directly edits it. Since this version file is already in Aperture's library, when Photoshop is finished editing it, Aperture automatically sees the edited file because its already in the library.
If Aperture were to send the RAW file name to Photoshop, Photoshop would open the RAW file and create a new PSD file. When it came time to save your edits, where would you save it. In order to get it back into Aperture's library, you would need some form of Photoshop to Aperture communication so that Photoshop would know where to save the edited file and Aperture would know to add it to the library. This would require collaboration between both Adobe and Apple and doesn't seem likely.
I have a couple of ideas someone can try. These are only ideas and completely untested. I'd do it myself but I don't own Aperture (see my computer info below for the reason).
1. Create two folders with automator actions. You export your RAW files from Aperture to a "Photoshop-IN" folder. Any new RAW image found in this folder will be automatically opened in Photoshop by the Automator action. Then you save the edited Photoshop file into a 2nd folder "Aperture-IN". Another Automator action imports this into Aperture.
2. In iPhoto, if you try to edit a RAW image with an external editor, iPhoto creates an intermediate image file (JPEG I think) which it passes to Photoshop. But, if you drag the original RAW image thumbnail from iPhotos library window to the Photoshop icon in the dock, the original RAW image file is passed to Photoshop. You only have the problem of getting the saved Photoshop file back into iPhoto's library. Maybe this same thing would work in Aperture by dragging the Master image to the Photoshop icon in the dock.
PowerMac G4 Dual 1.25GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) FW800, 4 internal HD - 550GB

This is all well and good. I wholeheartedly agree with the idea of keeping the "master" sacrosanct. What I object to is not being able to do the conversion in Photoshop (or elsewhere)
What I want is for Aperture to send the raw over to photoshop when I select "open in external editor", and then follow the current workflow (I do my edits, hit save, and a second master is added to Aperture's db.)
It's totally possible for them to do this, and it wouldn't break anything in the system, or the philosophy. Of course it's a workaround that wouldn't be necessary if Aperture's converter were up to snuff. But it isn't, and I bet it would be easier to implement the workaround than to fix the fundamental defects in the converter itself.
