Aperture 3.0.2 always importing

Since I updated to Aperture 3.0.2, the spinning "importing" indicator always show, even when I'm not importing anything. I opened the Activity Window to see what was going on, but it's blank. Anyone know what's going on and how to fix it?
And, sadly, Aperture 3.0.2 didn't fix my problem of incomplete galleries uploading to MobileMe.
At least the iPad is coming Saturday!

I have this too. I nailed the situation down when I import pics from my camera card. When Import is done, a window appear asking for : Done - Erase and Eject - Eject. Hitting Erase and eject makes the Importing spinning wheel running forever without going to the processing step and nothing in the Activity window. Hitting any of the two other choices make the thing to work as it should which means going to processing after Importing. When the Importing spinning wheel runs forever, just close Aperture and start it back, it will automatically go to the processing phase.
I already filled up a bug report on that the day before 3.02 went out...so hopefully for the next update.

  • 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?

    I have always imported my cds (including books) into iTunes using one step called "join cd tracks" which is under the "Advanced" menu. Never a problem. But today I was importing a 10 disc book and on the 7th disc all of a sudden the choice to join cd tracks was greyed out. I have tried it with other discs. No luck. How can I get to this option again. I was not doing anything different so don't know what took away this choice. Can anyone help me?

    Thought it had worked but soon found out it had not.
    after further days of trying finally, solved it for me Yesterday.
    turned off notifications when locked, and bingo, wow.
    i have not turned off iCloud but location services are also off.
    best thing to do I found was keep checking your usage, settings, general, usage, and flip down to bottom, if the standby and usage are similar there is a problem, if there is a big difference then all is ok. Just keep turning things off and on until the difference is very apparent.
    something on my phone was keeping the phone alive even when turned off, and I think this was the phone repeatedly trying to update continually.
    to me this is definitely down to the iOS, my wife has exactly same phone and iOS but hers doesn't have any problem and the battery lasts for days.
    the guy at the Genius Bar told me to restore the phone via iTunes, not iCloud. This is because iCloud remembers the exact info from your phone and simply reinstates it when you restore, and this includes the iOS too.
    when I get home from holidays that's what I'll do, or wait for iOS 8 in few weeks. But I'm so pleased I finally made it work, I was beginning to think ditch the phone and buy Samsung.
    anyway anyone out there please try my final solution and let me know if it works for you?

  • I have a lot image files on external WD hard drive USB powered .i just purchased aperture and have initated an import into aperture of all photos on thatdrive.it has about 1.75gig of images. how long will that take--been 24 hours already???

    I have had several issues so far with my new aperture program, and this is the fifth time i have tired to collect all of my images (or nearly all) onto a single drive and be able to file them from my mac notebook...obviously one huge problem is that every timie the dog walks buy he knocks the cord out and i basiclaly have to start over again...
    but i have taped the cords in an managed to fly across country while keeping the whole import running---up near 24 hours constant now...
    anyway, i ahve a bunch of questions but my main one is, i think from reaeding up here that it could take a fulll week to finish this transfer (even though i beleieve i made it very clear that i only want to index the fiels from their current location and not to move any of them around at all....
    the only rush really is that i have my daughter's graduation pictuers and everyone wants to see htem but i don't really want to cancel this transfer after i have already spent 24 hours!!!
    sorry to write so much...
    thanks for any ideas....

    Max,
    It really can take very long to import and process so many images - I would not dare to make a prediction.
    Can you open the Activity Viewer?
    From Aperture's main menu bar: Window > Show Activity.
    This window will tell you the filename of the image that is currently being processed.
    if you are seeing, that the import is still far from being finished, you might to pause certain tasks directly from this panel, like the generation of previews or scanning for faces. I'd let the import run, if you see that it is making progress.
    Have you enabled very time-consuming options, like the generation of high resolution previes or scanning for faces and places? if yes, and the import is not making any progress at all, I'd disable thes options in the Aperture preferences for the initial import. You can add these later for the projects where you want to use these features.
    Regards

    Sys is not imported. In fact any schema ending in SYS is not imported.
    This is because SYS is the datadictionary, and the datadictionary is automatically recreated during import.
    If you have your own tables in the SYS schema, you will loose them, as you can't export SYS.

    I have my camera (Canon 5D Mark 2) set to take both JPEG Large and Raw files with each shot. I uploaded the images from the card to my Pro (Aperture 3) and while the import info said 1500 images were uploaded, I can't find the RAW images.  Aperture put about 700 images in an untitled project folder, but all the images are the JPEGs.  What am I missing?
    Thanks,

    Have you checked your "Import" settings for "Raw&Jpeg" pairs in the "Import" panel?
    You can set Aperture to import raw, jpeg, or raw&jpeg.
    If you imported Raw&Jpeg, but have set Aperture to use the Jpeg as original, you will see the imported image as Jpeg image, not as a raw image, even if the raw has also been imported. You can switch between Raw and Jpeg originals for selected images from the Photos menu:
    Photos > Use Raw as original.

    > We are getting an error (about the error - system say out of memory) and when we referred to the messages in the SAP BPC forum, few have provided solution asking to shrink the log file size.

    This is for Microsoft SQL Server, not for Oracle.
    If you get "out of memory" it's not a database logfile problem but a memory problem.

  • Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    Why won't Aperture 2 support RAW files imported from Canon 60D when it does from my Olympus DSLR?

    I'm afriad the fact that your Olympus dSLR is supported is 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.
    Support for individual camera models has to be added one by one, and Apple will update the OS to work with the most recent version of the software. That's an incentive for you to keep up-to-date. So, for support for your 60D you'll need 10.6.5 plus Aperture 3 and/or iPhoto 11.

  • I migrated my old IMac to new and Aperture won't let me import from camera

    I migrated old iMac to new and Aperture will not let me import from camera from. Migrating created two users and I get an error message saying I do not have permission write. I have gone to get info and it says I have read and write permissions.

    That's the problem.  Apple doesn't make it clear that you should transfer when the new Mac starts up, not later on with Migration Assistant. 
    which told me to enter a new name . I had the new computer and old with same name. I called the new user my name with word "old" so not the same name as old Mac.
    The problem isn't the names, it's the (mostly hidden) User ID number (UID).  See the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation of what happened.
    Your best bet is to use one of the workarounds (probably #4) in the green box there, to re-transfer your account.  It will have exactly the same name and permissions as before.
    If you want to change the name, you can, but it takes a minor finagle. Post back if you want to do that.

  • Aperture crashes when files are imported

    I am using the Aperture 3 trial currently, and while it starts up just fine, whenever I try to import my iPhoto library Aperture chugs along for a bit, and then crashes. When I open Aperture again, most of my events are there (as projects) but they are almost all empty. A select few appear to have photos in them. If I try to import again, the same crash happens. If I import folders as projects from my pictures folder, it crashes. If I delete the Aperture library and try to import again with a fresh start, it crashes. Right now I really don't know what to do about this, I want to try Aperture, but I can't very well do that without being able to get my photos into it.
    Admittedly, my iPhoto library is rather large (40,000+ photos), but iPhoto can handle this, and I should think Aperture was built for this.
    Thanks for the help!

    I am having a very similar problem. I purchased the full version and get the exact same results. I rebuilt my library using iphoto's rebuild tools and the crash still occurs. I have rebuilt the library using iphoto library manager and the crash still occurs. I am frustrated that I spent 200 dollars and I am unable to import my iPhoto library. Any help would be great.

  • Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch into my laptop it always imports my videos

    Okay, so every time I plug my iPod Touch (4G) into my laptop it always imports my videos & photos. I don't want my videos and photos saved onto others files on my laptop so how do I stop this from automatically happening when I plug in my iPod?
    Thanks! Laura,

    There should be a pane in your photo program that can control what your iPhone does when plugged in.

  • Aperture loses my pictures on import

    I have recently migrated from one mac to another, now when I import to aperture it says "items will import to untitled project keep/delete on iphone" then regardless of what I choose nothing appears in the library. Is this a conflict from migration?
    Do I need to create a new library? If so whats the cons of running more than one library
    Cheers

    billy,
    Is this a conflict from migration?
    How did you migrate over? i.e. transfer your Aperture library?
    What is your Aperture version? And your iPhone version?
    Is there anything special about the photos you want to import? HDR or something? Can there be unreadable photos or videos in the camera roll?
    What are your import settings? Is the "Store files" set to "In the Aperture library"or a flder on your mac? Make sure it is not accidentally "In their current location".
    I'd try first to import into a new Aperture library - just for testing. If you can import without problems into the new library, try to fix your current library. Perhaps there are permission problems or the Library needs repairing after migration, see:  Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    If you cannot import at all in any library, try to import from a card on your camera, to see if the iPhone is the problem. If you cannot import at all, try if you can import, when working from adifferent user account. This is to see, if you migrated problematic settings from your old mac to your current account. Then post back with your findings.
    If it is the phone, check this article:

  • Computer will not always import photos from kodak easy share?

    My macbook pro does not always import photos from the kodak easysgare camera, any suggestions?

    I found a solution in a couple of other threads. The main problem is when you start iPhoto from the dock, the unix process is owned by root, and not as it should be, by you. If you start iPhoto from the Terminal by entering /Applications/iPhoto.app/Contents/MacOS/iPhoto, iPhoto is able to import the images.
    I don't believe that starting the applications from Terminal is a good solution, so I looked for another - reinstalling Leopard seems to be the best option, and it actually works. I can now import images to iPhoto again.

  • How to upgrade a Library on an external drive created in a previous version of aperture so I can re-import it from the external drive into Aperture 3.5.1 on my MBP ?

    I have exported earlier Projects [which were created in Aperture 3.4.5] to an external hard drive. Now I wish to reimport them into Aperture 3.5.1 - which I use after having upgraded to Mavericks - but am given an error message saying I can’t reimport because the external drive is storing a Library created by an earlier version of Aperture than I’m using now. It tells me to upgrade that externally stored Library.
    The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
    Thank  you
    Bob

    The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
    You can upgrade the library on the external drive. Connect your external drive to your computer.
    Then select the library with the exported projects on the external drive and double-click it to open it in Aperture. This will upgrade the library to Aperture 3.5.1.  Since upgrading can sometimes be problematic, I recommend to make a backup copy of the library before you try to upgrade the library.
    After that you should be able to merge the library into your main library using File > Import.

  • Aperture 3.3 updated. Importing images, can no longer access drive

    This has happened several times. Let me try and explain it a little better.
    I import images, step away from my computer, come back screen is blank (display asleep) the computer is not. I hit the space bar to bring it back to life and then try to do the next import. For some reason Aperture cant find the disk after that. I can get to it in finder and see the filesystem and folders.
    The only way I can get back into the library is to disconnect the drive, close aperture, plug the drive back in and start aperture. If I close aperture and re-open it, it says I dont have the proper permissions to open this library, checked that, I have read & write. I dont have this problem ising the drive with any other app.
    Never had this problem prior to upgrade & if I keep importing without the screen going dark it appears to stay working. Its very strange.
    Anyone?

    I am the person who first posted this question yesterday. After reading other postings this morning, I followed the advice to "restore" 3 Mozilla files which had been quarantined by Norton Internet Security yesterday. My Firefox 3.6.6 now works great. Also see:
