Aperture 3.0.2 or Keynote 5.0.3 Bug:  Sharing Media

I was replacing a graphic in Keynote '09, sharing media from both iPhoto and Aperture. There was an image I wanted to use from Aperture. When I looked at it, I discovered the image was crooked, so I straightened it in Aperture. When I tried to bring it into my Keynote presentation using the media browser, the image did not appear, either as an icon or as a list item. I then modified another image in Aperture, and it too became no longer available through the media browser.
I recreated both thumbnails and previews for the entire Aperture project in which the images were located, but to no avail. The two images remained unavailable through the media browser. I closed both applications, reopened Keynote, and still the images were not available.
I saved the Keynote presentation to a different name and closed it. When I reopened this newly saved version of the presentation, the images from Aperture were now available through the media browser.
Somewhere between Aperture and Keynote, media are not being properly shared/maintained. The current workaround is fine, but something is broken between these two apps (and probably affects others too).
Hope this helps someone!

Thanks for the heads-up. For those too lazy to click through, here is the list of changes:
This update improves overall stability and fixes issues in a number of areas. The key areas addressed include:
Upgrading Aperture 1.x and 2.x libraries
Importing libraries from iPhoto or from earlier versions of Aperture

  • Keynote 6.0 no photos in media browser

    Recently upgraded everything to current. Keynote 6 media browser missing all photos from Aperture or iPhoto. Music and movies seem to show up fine.
    I have tried deleting com.Apple.iPhoto.plist to no avail.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    The media browser in Pages '09 is now inoperable after the 10.10.3 update with Photos. There is an iLifeMediaBrowser plugin that Pages 09 used, that was stepped on by the Photos update, and now Pages '09 fails to find a compatible version of the preceding plugin, and fails to show any media content.
    Although the Photos application automatically transferred your iPhoto/Aperture libaries, it does not mean that these applications were removed, or cannot be run alongside Pages '09. I just launched iPhoto, and dragged/dropped a photo onto Pages '09 without issue. Copy/paste is supported too. Pages '09 also supports drag/drop of images from the Finder, or from its Insert > Choose… menu item.

  • Aperture 1.5.3 and iWeb - poor image quality and shuffled Media browser

    Hi, I have two questions:
    1. I used to use iPhoto 6 together with iWeb 1.1.2, but have since upgraded to Aperture. My Aperture library previews show up nicely in iWeb's media browser, but the quality of the thumbs on the photopage I create, and fullsize images in iWeb's slideshow look really bad and pixelated compared to when I used the exact same images from my iPhoto 6 Library. How can this be? I have set the preview size in Aperture to 1280 x 1280 and quality to 5. Does that have something to do with the poor quality?
    2. The Media browser in iWeb completely ignores the dates on the images from the Aperture library, resulting in the images being shuffled completely, making it hard to find the images I want to use. How can that be? Why doesn't it work like when I used iWeb with my iPhoto library?

  • How to export keynote to power point when sharing with other people

    I had to manipulate a master's of someone else on keynote, record my slides and then post it to a discussion board, it kept removing my recording when I exported it to power point for presentation.  I could not do it and I tried everything renaming it with no characters.  Help!!!

    PowerPoint does not support recorded presentations when exporting the recording is removed.
    You will need to use a Keynote presentation without the recorded timings or usePowerPoint, Open Office or Libra Office to author a presentation with individual timings on each slide.

  • Keynote to flash- could not export media file

    alright. so I am an after effects guy with no experience in
    flash, although i do have cs3 including flash. (working on a mac).
    long story short... i have a keynote presentation (or i can
    convert to ppt) that is completed. I have swf videos i placed in
    the pages which play back fine before i export. when i export, i
    get a warning that "media files on slides.... could not be
    exported."
    ive tried different videos, different codecs, everything. Ive
    tried using a new project in keynote with one page that has nothing
    but a video, still get the same issue.
    now i have exported my project as a flash file without the
    videos, and am hoping to open this file in flash and be able to add
    the video layer on top of where it should have originally been.
    but the tricky part is... the presentation must be manually
    controlled by the viewer, and with each clip, they need to decide
    when to perform the next action, including playing the video.
    i open up flash, and realize how much i have no idea what im
    doing. do i write code? where do i pull up the code from and what
    do i add? do i add a new layer to the timeline? ive been banging my
    head and gotten nowhere.
    when i originally exported from keynote to quicktime, it
    worked perfect. unfortunately for my dads business, we need a flash
    format since most of the auto dealerships run off of pc's without
    quciktime installed.
    any help, advice, guidance, or a point in the right direction
    would be greatly appreciated.
    THANK YOU!!!

    Hi Guys,
    Fixed it.
    I followed steps I found regarding this similar problem from another forum which I'll post here:
    1 - change the extension of the fla to zip so you can unzip the fla into its folder structure (flv).
    2 - within the LIBRARY folder, there is likely some asset that is causing the problem. you must figure out which one (or more) it is. you can do this by simply removing files from that folder until your file opens successfully (open the flv file in the root).
    3 - once you have the xml files that are causing the problem, you can actually fix them by going in and removing the empty frames. in mine, the part of the xml i removed looked like this:
    <DOMLayer name="Layer 2" color="#9933CC" current="true" isSelected="true">
              <frames/>
            </DOMLayer>
            <DOMLayer name="Layer 4" color="#FF4FFF">
              <frames>
                <DOMFrame index="0" keyMode="9728">
                  <elements/>
                </DOMFrame>
              </frames>
            </DOMLayer>
            <DOMLayer name="Layer 3" color="#FF800A">
              <frames>
                <DOMFrame index="0" keyMode="9728">
                  <elements/>
                </DOMFrame>
              </frames>
            </DOMLayer>
    Basically look for any <frames> tags that don't have anything in them. These are harmless to remove as they are not adding anything to your file anyway.
    Now you can open the .flv and save it as a .fla again if you wish.
    Good luck everyone

  • Keynote 3/Pages 2 Crash on media inspector

    Dear Forum Denizens,
    I just installed iWork '06. Pages and Keynote both exit ungracefully, ~1-2 seconds after I press the media inspector button. Restarting the machine doesn't improve matters. Software update reports my system is up to date. My "old" version of iWork does still work as advertised.
    Does anybody have some explanation for this curiousity?
    Yours,
    Paul.

    OK, I was just haveing the same problem, and managed to fix it by getting rid of everything in my home>movies folder; then starting Keynote (or Pages). Media Browser seems to work good now, as long as you don't want to "browse" any movies. This seems like a bug Apple needs to look at soon; browsing these discussions for the last hour and a lot of folks seem to be encountering this problem...

  • HT4363 cannot see my "modified" photos in my Aperture library when viewing on tv using apple tv home sharing

    I have modified some photos that are in my Aperture library. When i view the aperture project through home sharing via apple tv on my tv, i only see the unmodified photos. Why can't i see the modified photos (that are in my aperture library) on my tv?

    i now know what to do to view the modified photos, need to 'unstack" photos
    same issue when doing photo album to purchase, need to unstack in order to access those photos

  • Use of Aperture captions

    Although there are several posts about how to make iWeb use the caption field for a photo coming from Aperture, the help documentation clearly states that iWeb will use the caption field if it is populated. I made sure the caption field was populated but iWeb continues to use the filename. Is this truly a bug in iWeb or is the iWeb help documentation simply incorrect?

    The following is listed as a "tip" item when "photo captions" is entered as a search in the iWeb help (see the last paragraph; there is more but I didn't include it as it was not relevant):
    Tips on sharing photos from Aperture with iLife
    Aperture 1.5 offers full-size previews of images that can be used with iLife and iWork '06 or later. Here are some tips on getting the most from it:
    How to access images from Aperture in iLife and iWork
    Make sure you have iLife and iWork '08, or the latest versions of the iLife and iWork '06 applications:
    iPhoto 6.0.5
    iMovie HD 6.0.3
    iDVD 6.0.3
    iWeb 1.1.2
    GarageBand 3.0.4
    Keynote 3.0.2
    Pages 2.0.2
    iTunes 7.0.1
    To update from previous versions of the iLife and iWork '06 applications, from the Apple menu, choose Software Update.
    You will also need to update to Aperture 1.5. If you have a previous version of Aperture installed, Software Update can also be used to update to version 1.5.
    To browse Aperture images in iLife and iWork '06, you must first enable sharing in Aperture. Details can be found on pages 161-162 of the Aperture User Manual. To view the shared images in iLife or iWork:
    Select the Media pane in one of the iLife/iWork applications.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to the Aperture icon in the browser window.
    Click the disclosure triangle next to Aperture Library to access images in Aperture's built-in Smart Albums or Smart Albums you have created at the Library level. To access images from specific projects, click the project's disclosure triangle. Click on the icon for individual albums or Smart albums within projects.
    Handling of Stacked Images
    When you browse Aperture images in the iLife/iWork Media pane, you may notice that there seem to be fewer images than expected available there. This is because only the pick or album pick image from each stack in Aperture is shared with iLife and iWork. When you browse images from an Aperture project or built-in Smart album, the pick image from each stack will be available. When you browse images from an Aperture album, then the album pick will be available. If there is no album pick specified, then the pick image will be used when browsing albums. Smart albums you create offer the option Ignore stack groupings. If this option is selected, then all images that meet the criteria for the Smart album will be available in the Media pane, regardless of stack pick status. If you find that you need access to more than one image from a stack in an iLife or iWork application, then drag the non-pick image from the stack in Aperture, or access it from a self-created Smart album. Note that it may take some time before changes made to stacks in Aperture will be reflected in the Media pane.
    Labeling of Aperture images in the iLife/iWork Media pane
    If the Caption field for an image in Aperture is filled in, then this is what the iLife/iWork Media pane will display. If the Caption field is empty, then the Version Name field will be used as the image label in the Media panel. . . .

  • Some Aperture photos and projects missing from iLife Media Browser

    Good evening - having a little bit of trouble getting Aperture to work smoothly with my iLife media browser (i.e., inserting photos into Mail, Pages, Keynote, etc).
    I currently have 5699 photos and 131 projects in Aperture. But the iLife Media Browser only shows me 5131 photos and 130 projects; when clicking on individual projects in the browser, anywhere from 3 to 70 photos per project are missing. Tried repairing permissions, repairing the database, and rebuilding the database - this improved the issue, but didn't completely resolve it as 5679 photos now show in the Media Browser, and 20 remain missing. Also tried deleting, and generating previews for all my photos in the library. No change.
    My library is mostly referenced, with a few photos managed.
    Obviously in the grand scheme of things 20 photos missing in the Media Browser not that big a deal. But wanting to get to the root cause though because without solving this issue, I'm concerned about a larger underlying problem that may only get worse as my library grows.
    Has anyone had, or resolved a problem similar to this? And can anyone offer any additional suggestions? Are there any specific files that feed the iLife Media Browser that I can delete and rebuild that may solve this issue?
    thanks,
    Mark

    I think I've ironed this out. Several intertwined issues. I took a moment to type out my notes; hopefully it helps you guys solve this quickly if you get a call from someone else on this down the line.
    [1] original problem of several hundred items missing in Media Browser: probably an issue of previews not being built. Mostly fixed when I regenerated previews for my library, but repairing permissions and repairing the database may have helped too.
    [2] Residual problem of 20 items still missing (5698 items displayed in Aperture when selecting Inspector > Library > Photos; 5677 items displayed in Mail Photo Browser). My issue wasn't as much with 20 missing items in a browser as it was with trying to understand the root cause and whether I had an underlying Aperture, Aperture Library, or OS problem that would bite me later. Turns out several things were causing this problem:
    [2a] In Aperture, when you select Inspector > Library > Photos , all your content is displayed: photos, videos, and any audio clips you may have imported (e.g., a recorded audio clip on your camera narrating shoot, location, client, exposure value etc). So even though you've selected "Photos", your "xxx items displayed" count on the bottom of the screen reflects all your imported content. This is not the case in the Media Browser - of which there are two variants in Mac OS:
    [2a.1] Mail has a Photo Browser, which behaves much like a "Media Browser Lite: the title bar says "Photo Browser", it only accesses your Aperture and iPhoto Libraries, and only shows photos and video.
    [2a.2] iWork applications have a more comprehensive Media Browser, where you can select between Audio, Photos, and Movies. If you select Audio the iWork Media Browser will show any audio files present in your Aperture or iTunes library. If you select Movies, the iWork Media Browser will show any movie clips present in your Aperture or iMovie libraries. Photos behaves the same way as "Photo Browser" in Mail, showing any photos present in your Aperture (or iPhoto if installed) libraries.
    Turns out I had three audio clips in my Aperture library. When selecting "Photos" in either the Mail or iWork browsers, the total item count will only show photos and videos - no audio clips. So now 17 missing items remain.
    [2b] Stacks - one project contained nine photos grouped into a stack. Only the key photo of a stack is previewed/shown in Media Browser. So a stack of nine photos will only show as one in the browser - unstacking the photo will allow them all to appear. So now nine missing items.
    [2c] Seven photographs somehow had broken links to their referenced masters, and needed to be reconnected. Down to two missing items.
    [2d] One photo simply wouldn't cooperate - no matter how many times I regenerated the preview, or deleted the preview and then regenerated it, nothing worked. I deleted it from the library and reimported it. One missing item remains.
    [2e] Final missing item was a photograph I rejected. Makes sense; as media browser does not display rejects.
    Problem solved!! Hopefully this might be of help to somebody in the future.
    cheers,
    Mark

  • How to import album from Aperture 3?

    On latest osx. Aperture 3.5.1. Keynote 6.2.
    Can't seem to import an ALBUM from Keynote Media Browser showing Aperture library—individual photo work by drag and drop.

    I think you need to ask this in the Aperture forum.

  • Aperture No Longer Working With Screen Saver?

    For years I've been using my Aperture library (specifically, the "Flagged Photos") with the Screen Saver in OS X.  Since I upgraded to Lion last night, I have discovered that my Aperture library no longer shows up as an option in Screen Saver -- only iPhoto does. 
    As I am remiss to ditch years of work and return to iPhoto -- I was hoping someone might have discovered a solution for this problem (perhaps something to do with the iLife browser in Lion?).
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Kluv32 wrote:
    Then, I checked the new sharing preferences and closed out Aperture.  I opened up the System Preferences for Screen Saver, and after waiting about 1-2 minutes, Aperture popped up in there as an option.
    Can you please explain what you mean about "checked the new sharing preferences?" I see no way of setting any "sharing" preferences in Preferences or anywhere else in Aperture. Do you mean you just looked at the sharing preferences?
    Since I've upgraded to the latest version, when I go to the System Preferences, Aperture is very slow in showing up on the ScreenSaver settings under System Preferences and the virtual Library folders no longer show up (they show up under the Desktop window though). However, after closing Aperture, the screensaver would display "looking for pictures" and would not display the photos.
    The latest upgrade definitely broke something, although it greatly improved Aperture's response time, as it was getting pretty sluggish before the upgrade.

  • More Aperture/iPad syncing issues

    Each time I create a new project or album in Aperture, I have trouble getting the images to the iPad when I sync. I sometimes need to sync several times until the images are recognized and imported to iPad. I do have the albums designated manually, rather than all, which means I have to sync and then sync again after I check the checkbox for the new album. I understand that, but sometimes I have to go back into Aperture to make sure the previews are updated. If I choose to update the previews for a project, Aperture will usually tell me that they're already up to date, but often they will not show up on the iPad, even after I check the appropriate box for the album in iTunes. Sometimes I get good results if I delete the previews and regenerate them in Aperture.
    The second problem is the sort order. Even if I have "sort by filename" selected in Aperture, they do not show up in this order on the iPad--despite what the support article says about this. They appear to only show up in Date order. I've tried repeatedly resetting the sort order, but it does not change on the iPad. Sometimes I have to delete the album from the iPad, (uncheck the album in iTunes and sync again), then recheck it and sync yet another time. This does not always work, however.
    It is very frustrating. The interface between Aperture and the iPad is very wonky. I often have to sync repeatedly, just to get the photos on the iPad and even then they're usually in the wrong order.
    Aperture appears to have two types of previews: "previews" and "sharing previews," but "sharing previews" don't seem to appear in the documentation. I've noticed that, even when Aperture says the previews are up to date, when I exit the program, it will sometimes (but, maddeningly, not always), give the message, "updating sharing previews" before quitting. I cannot figure out how to force this, however. Sometimes opening and closing Aperture several times will cause it to do this, but I can't be sure.
    iTunes seems to have its own process in which it "optimizes" images for importing to the iPad. Like Aperture's mysterious "sharing previews," "optimizing" does not show up in the iTunes documentation or help files.
    This process either needs to be improved, or at least documented so users can understand how to avoid these problems.

    1. Some people have reported slow syncing with anything but the iPad's own USB cable (e.g. using a US cable from an iPhone/iPod). Try different cables
    2. More work - disable iTunes syncing completely, then re-enable a bit at a time, e.g. one movie at a time, one playlist at a time, one photo album at a time. There are periodic reports of syncing issues caused by a bit of media that's been corrupted, and this (tedious) approach allows you to identify where the problem might be.
    3. If that fails, do a clean restore back to factory settings, then progressively re-enable syncing as above.
    Hope this helps

  • IPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture and otherwise won't open

    After upgrade to Maverick, iPhoto asks for an upgrade of Aperture (which I don't have and never had), and otherwise won't open. If I click "ok",  the Applications store opens and asks me to BUY Aperture (69,99 EUR).
    There must be a bug in iPhoto 11 after the upgrade to Maverick..?

    I can only guess at a couple of solutions:
    #1
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
    User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
    or with Lion and Mt. Lion delete the contents the User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/
    Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
    If you're running Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.
    #2 
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    2 - Run Option #4, Rebuild Database, followed by Option #1 if needed.
