Aperture 2 Library not Showing in iPhoto

I am trialng Aperture 2. Photos I put in the trial library, do not appear in the Show Aperture Library option in iPhoto. The photos are also not availabe for upload to iPhone through iTunes. I have all the Preview preferences checked including 'share with iLife'
I have rebuilt permissions, I have replaced pref files.....resest Preview info in Aperture several times with restarts in between - cant get it to work at all... I have iLife 08 and itunes 7.6
Anyone any ideas?

OK heres the answer: Aperture was not generating previews despite correct preference settings. To overcome this you control-click on the Library in the left column while holding down the Option key. This will give you a "Generate Previews" option. Selecting this will bring back access not only form iPhoto but for iPods from within iTunes.

Content library not showing in iMovie 10.0

Content Library not showing. No answer found. It is NOT at the top as some say. Where did it go and where is it? What's the best alternative to this stupid iMovie program. So frustrating. It was working a month ago.

So what happens if you choose to proceed with opening the library?
Do you have a library backup, for example on Time Machine?
I have automatic dated backups of all my iMovie 10 libraries but I can't remember how I set it up and there is no mention of backups in iMovie help. (It is doing the same thing as FCP 10.1 does). I have never tried to restore from them though.

Recent edits in CS6 are not showing in iPhoto?

I am "editing in external editor" from iPhoto then editing in CS6 and saving as usual but the edit is not showing in iPhoto?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

Since I have iTunes match, why does my iTunes library not appear in iPhoto music options for slideshow?; only songs purchased or placed on iTunes over a year ago appear in the iPhoto library under the iTunes or purchased option.

I purchased a new computer. Why when I log in to itunes does my library not show up

I purchased a new computer. Why when I log in to itunes does my library not show up?

I'm confused....if itunes is basically storing your music for you and you log in, why doesn't that automatically default to your account and display all of you music. What's really strange is, if I have my old laptop on and I am logged into itunes it showed up on my new laptop. But when I log out, it's gone

I have a leica m9, aperture metadata will not show me the lens aperture used, as it does in lightroom 3, any ideas.

This has been an ongoing issue with this camera for a long time. Search the list here or Google the issue to see the many posts on this.
For whatever reason Aperture is unable to report that data. Some have written that it is because the that particular lens/camera combination does not report the f stop information.
You can always send feedback to Apple see Aperture->Provide Aperture Feedback

Aperture library not showing in mail, iweb or iphoto

After upgrading to 3.1 my Aperture Library is not coming up in other applications. It also is not showing up as an option for screen saver. Anyone have this issue?

Do you have everything looking right inside the library? Can you go into your Aperture library bundle and see if you have the following files: an ApertureData.xml file, an iLifeShared folder, and inside the iLifeShared folder a file called ApertureDatabaseTimestamp?

Aperture library not showing up in upload browser

When I go to upload Aperture photos to the web, my Aperture library is not listed in the media browser. Only iPhoto and Photo Booth is there. I've had to go into Aperture and export the photos to upload them. This started to happen after I upgraded to Lion. Any suggestions?

Aperture did not show up in any other apps, but I found an discussion started by someone with the same issue, and the issue was resolved by creating a new library, then swicthing back to your original library. I tried this and it worked for me also. Here is the discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2338518?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks for your help

Some Photos in Library are not showing on iPhoto

I imported some photos from another Mac to my MacBook Air and organized them in several events. All went well until I had a large number of photos (and some videos) which took a long time to transfer and iPhoto was not responding for over an hour. I forced quit the iPhoto and now when I go back, I see the events that I had created but they are empty (photos are not showing). When I tried to re-import the photos, it says the photos are duplicate which I assume it means photos exist in the photo library. My question is how do I get the photos existing in the library to be visible on iPhoto. Thanks.

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - from the resulting first aid window repair permissions and if necessary rebuild your database

Current Aperture Library not seen by iPhoto

I work exclusively in Aperture for all of my photo needs, but recently decided to import some pictures into iPhoto for ease of uploading to Shutterfly (they had a plug-in for iPhoto). Much to my dismay, when I pulled up the "display Aperture Library" it showed a very outdated (6-8 months old) library! None of the recent photos were there, and a lot of old stuff that I had discarded showed up (although the picture had a "?" because it was missing). I tried both the Rebuild and Consistency Check (Command-Option at startup). I only have one library, and it is in the default location under the pictures folder. I am the only user on this iMac, and there is nothing in the shared folder either. I'm at a total loss.

The library from Aperture had never been moved or copied, and it was never altered in any way outside of Aperture itself. It has been and still is in the same place as it always has (on the local hard drive under the "Pictures" folder) and has never been renamed.
What I ended up doing is to create all new project names, moved all my photos from the old projects into the newly titled projects, and then deleted the old project titles. Somehow, this fixed the issue and iPhoto can see the Aperture Library now. I don't know how or why, but its working again. And I did nothing outside of Aperture (no copying, moving, renaming, etc. of the original Aperture Library file).

Photos in Library not showing on Apple TV

Have recently found that new photos I have saved to iphoto that can be viewed on my Mac do not appear in my library on Apple TV. 'Recent Imports', 'events' etc. do not show them. I have tried restarting my Apple TV, switching off and switching back on Home Share but they do not appear. Have checked preferences in iphoto and correct boxes ticked but still no joy, any suggestions please.

Yes, tried that but all that happened was that my Home Sharing although shown turned on on both Apple TV and iTunes did not allow me to connect to my Library, could access You Tube so WiFi connection O.K.. Tried switching Home Sharing off and then on again on Apple TV but that didn't access my Library so had to go back into iTunes on my Mac and switch off Home Sharing and switch it back on again there which then allowed me access to my Library. This resolved the problem as photos I had just taken were now viewable ( This however has happened before so not a new problem, suspect the router but as I am changing ISP soon, going to BT Infinity, hope that will solve that problem.)

Imported photos in iPhoto library not shown in iPhoto

I just imported about 640 photos into iPhoto in 2 batches. The first 400 or so are no showing up in any screens of iPhoto (not in "Last 12 Months" or "Photos") while the second batch of 240 are my "Last Import" and show up in the previous 2 mentioned places.
When I click on "Show File" to see my iPhoto library in the Finder, I can see those 400 pictures in their own folder. So, the files are in my iPhoto Library, but are not viewable in iPhoto. This is especially problematic for trying to upload to Shutterfly.

Check your version of iPhoto - you have iPhoto '08 not iPhoto 6 - posting in the correct forum is critical because there are differences between them and you will get incorrect advise if you are not in the correct forum for your software
For iPhoto '08, Right click (control click on a single button mouse) on the iPhoto library and select "show package contents" from the resulting menu - do not change anything except to drag the import(ing) folder - not the auto import folder - to the desktop
this will take care of your problem

Photos not showing in iphoto, help!

Just upgraded to leopard, and now, when I try to open a photo in iphoto or make one of my own pictures a background, it wont do it, and comes up with this image in iphoto. Its iphoto 6 and not 08.

Can anyone help?

Hi
Yes I draged some of the pictures from the finder and made a new folder called photos, but when I look for the photos in the finder under itunes they are all still there.
It is strongly advised that you do not move, change or in anyway alter things in the iPhoto Library Folder as this can cause the application to fail and even lead to data loss
Now, to recover the situation you have two options:
1. Return things exactly as they were or
2. Restore an up-to-date back up or
2. create an populate a new library.
To create and populate a new library:
Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
Assuming that you moved those files to make the easier to find, There are three ways (at least) to get files from the iPhoto Window.
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
To upload to MySpace or any site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. If you're using Gmail you can use THIS
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser. Or, if you want to access the files with iPhoto not running, then create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use THIS
The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves. If you're willing to risk database corruption, you can restore the older functionality simply by right clicking on the iPhoto Library and choosing 'Show Package Contents'. Then simply make an alias to the folders you require and put that alias on the desktop or where ever you want it. Be aware though, that this is a hack and not supported by Apple.

Aperture 3 library not appearing in open or attach dialog

I've just installed iPhoto 9.0.1 but the Aperture 3 library is now not appearing in open or attach dialog. How can I fix it?

There's a long thread here

Itunes library not loading in iphoto

the library shows, but will not load in iphoto. i've tried deleting the xml file to create a new one, but that didn't work.
i have recently moved my library to an external hard drive. i had no issues before.
any suggestions?

i have been running out of space on my hard drive because of my itunes library. i purchased an external and found a site outlining how to move it and did so. it calls for moving the main folder but not the album artwork or the xml file.
i open iphoto, create a photo slideshow and when i go to choose a song, it shows me the list but gives an error when i choose it. i had no problems previously, so i assume it's because the program cannot find the songs because the files are now on the external drive. i research and several sites say to delete the xml file and create a new playlist in itunes to redirect the files. this did not work and now i'm not sure what to do besides just moving it back to my hard drive and dealing with the space issues some other way.
