Aperture 3.3.2: Import: Append and Replace button behind Metadata window

Hello,
when doing an import of some pictures in an already existing project, I saw that the Append and Replace button (for "Metadata" under "Metadata Presets") are almost completey hidden behind the Metadata input window. See:
It is impossible to see if Append or Replace is selected and I also cannot select Append or Replace.
Toggling the Metadata selection to "None" and back to "Keywords and Copyright" doesn't solve the problem.
Do others also have this problem?
Can I see if this problem has already been reported to Apple?
Kind regards,
emeu1

Hi emeu1,
No, for me it is fine.
I'd recommend to quit Aperture, log off and on again, and remove the Aperture Preferences
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
from your User Library, as described in the
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Faulty preference seetings may corrupt the layout of the User Interface.

How to relocate the Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window

I am a right-hand user, and would prefer if all my Minimize, Maximize and Close buttons on the window are relocated to the right hand side of the window. Anyone got any suggestion to do it ?

This is just something you end up getting used to, at least it was the case for me.
It is not possible to move this, without the help of third-party software.
ShapeShifter is offers customisation of the look of the Windows, but I don't know if it can move the buttons.

Importing PDF and Photoshop files since using Windows 7 64bit

Hi,
I recently upgraded (?) to Windows 7 64bit. I have notices when importing PDF and photoshop files into the InDesign document, the resolution of the graphics are off and the lines are choppy. Even the fonts are illegible. What happened? Are there some settings that I need to into and tweek to bring everything back into alignment and focus? (If those are the correct words.) When I view the PDF files in windows, they are normal. It is only when imported into InDesign that they are distorted.
Thank you for any help.

I run Maximized, so the window fills the available space (you can set the shortcut properties to open that way so you don't have to do it each time), or you could resize the window from the top, then grabe the title bar and drag it upward on the screen. Windows should remember the size and position, but it may not, being Windows, after all.

After some updates, Aperture stops recognizing previously imported files, and rewrites video metadata dates. How do I keep the from occurring?

I have been using Aperture since version 1 (to now, 3.x.x), and after some updates Aperture fails to recognize the files previously imported. I have checked the selection box that says "Do not import duplicates" every time I import. I have pics and videos dating back to 2001 in the Aperture dB. Videos were imported once Ap started to support it. (Well, the initial support was really bad...) Anyway, those earlier video files all have the same date - now - thanks to Aperture changing the dates to 3/24/00. The funny thing is, Aperture will not let me manually correct the dates. To me, it seems that after every major update, the dB gets "reset" and forgets files already imported. I'm not saying pics/vids imported in the last month, but say six months to five years or more. Any help is greatly appreciated.
I do not think this matters, hoever, my Ap is set up with referenced original on an external drive.
Thank you!

WOW!
I'm REALLY impressed by your exhaustive and detailled description!
How long did it take to write? Sure longer than the import itself...
Thank you so much. I got a working import of Ap2 lib before but your description have me various hints for handling problematic or faulty projects.

My Aperture Keeps Crashing on Importing Photos and when Using Nik software HDR Pro

My Aperture has been Crashing everytime I import any Photos from Camera and when Using Nikk Software HDR Effects Pro...Sort This Out Please!

The exact steps I am taking are:
1. Start Aperture...wait till it loads and then connect USB to Nikon D300... Go to import...name project or image info.
2. Click Import all Selected and then Aperture comes up with Crash notification.
3. Send Error Report to Apple.
4. I have tried Belkin Card Reader...does the same.
5. I have used this Camera multiple times...and also a Nkon D7000 without any issues.
6. Both Cameras use Sandisk Extreme Pro Memory Cards...one uses Compact Flash and the other uses twin SD Cards.
7. I installed Nik Softwares HDR Effects...haven't been able to run it successfully as yet.
8. Nik Software support sent me details on Duplicate Arial Fonts...removed them as well.
9. I am running a NEW model iMac with i7 3.4Ghz with 16GB Memory with 256GB SSD... With a 2TB Internal Secondary Drive as well.Running OSX Lion 10.7 and I constantly check for and do all Updates as notified......is absolutely Frustrating.....just need to find a Solution.

My iphoto library database was corrupted with one file taking over all images i purchased aperture, selected no for importing duplicates and yet it is still importing duplicates what can i do??????

my iphoto library database was corrupted with one image taking over every other image on the database
i purchased aperture and am in the process of copying my i photo library , i ticked no to importing duplicate images and yet it is still importing many duplicates including the photo which took over my old iphoto library
help how can i stop it from importing the duplicates?

my iphoto library database was corrupted with one image taking over every other image on the database
What exactly do you mean by that? Do you mean one thumbnail only was visible in the iPhoto Window? What? This is the sort of thing that's fixed easily by an iPhoto rebuild. Gives us some more information and we may be able to help with that - iPhoto version and a description of exactly what's happening will help.
i ticked no to importing duplicate images and yet it is still importing many duplicates including the photo which took over my old iphoto library
A couple of thoughts here: If the iPhoto Library is corrupted and Aperture is importing from this damaged Library well you can't expect that it will all go easily, can you?
The iPhoto Library contains two versions of edited photos. Are you sure that you're not seeing the second version?

Need help in enable import,export and update button in rulesmanager

Dear Team,
I am using SAP Netweaver 7.3 CE.
I have exposed the Decision Table as webservice. I made this on Rule Composer Developement.
Now i want to import and export the decision table from url. like
http://localhost:50000/rulesmanager
I have given all roles/action regarding rules to test user.
But decision table is shown only in read only mode.
How to update decision table run time ?
I would really appreciate on your prompt response.
Regards,
Ashish Patel

Dear Ashish Patel,
As far as I know, you can only expose a decision table as a web-service which is created inside a Reusable Ruleset. And RulesManager application only allows editing of Rulesets and Flow Rulesets but Reusable Ruleset is not editable in RulesManager. And hence, you will not be able to edit/export/import the decision table in the Reusable Ruleset.
Hope this answers your question.
Thanks and Regards,
Santosh Giri

Audio has developed a static-y hiccup. I removed and replaced Firefox on ny Windows XP Dell laptop. The audio is fine on Internet Explorer.

I have a new problem with my Dell Latitude E6500 laptop. I use Windows XP and the latest version of Firefox.
Audio through websites has a jerky, static-y sound to. Youtube, Ted, Pandora, NPR: all the same. The only site that plays O.K. is a video on the Mozilla site.
This started when I downloaded a story from NPR to their player. It was bad, and everything since then, too.
I removed Firefox and downloaded it again.
Internet Explorer doesn't have this problem. Neither do CDs played through the computer.
Suggestions?

HT201317 photo stream and options buttons greyed out, windows 7

This has not happened before. I have a Windows 7, 64 bit laptop, and the photo stream button and it's associated options button cannot be selected.
I have uninstalled & re-installed iCloud about 3 times now, ran Malwarebytes, emptied out all photo streams on iPad & iPhone. What should I try next?

The way it worked for me was I went to control panel and uninstalled icloud and itunes, restarted pc and went to the apple site and downloaded icloud and itunes.

Search and replacing a url...

I just ran across an issue last night, my hyperlinks added a space at the end of the url. Does anyone know how to do a search and replace for the hyperlink window? I ended up editing every one of them. It probably wouldn't be so bad but that is a lot of repetition that InDesign should be doing.
Edit: I should mention that I am using CS3 on Windows XP. I am thinking I hit a bug with the above, the spaces should not have been there.

The document was imported from word 97. Last night I deleted the text and reimported it as I updated a few of the links. (Yeah I know about linking the document) I also added a few directly in InDesign. All hyperlinks except 2 had a space after them, those 2 were imported. Which makes me believe the problem was not with the importing(placing) but perhaps a bug in InDesign. This document use to export to pdf just fine. One thing I had noticed was the paragraph mark on all but those two were marked as a hyperlink. Even though I did a search and replace on all the paragraph marks to remove the hyperlink, the space remained in the url. So I ended up double clicking on each hyperlink in the hyperlink window and manually removing the space at the end of each url.

You need dialogListener..
    public void dialog1_dialogListener(DialogEvent dialogEvent) {
        if (dialogEvent.getOutcome().equals(DialogEvent.Outcome.yes)){ //for Yes
        }else{ //for Cancel
    }

Aperture Imports Duplicates and Triplicates of Photos from my iPhone 6 Plus

When I import photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, Aperture imports duplicates and triplicates of the identical photo randomly. This results in hours of going back through all of the Projects in Aperture and manually deleting the duplicates.
I thought that maybe I was mistaking standard and HDR versions of the same photo, or even burst shots that looked very similar, but this isn't the case. It is the same file name followed by a (1), (2), and sometimes a (3). I also know this isn't the case, because my Camera Roll has about 1,200 photos and videos on it (I stopped importing photos to my hard drive a while ago because of the duplicates, hoping an update would come out to fix the problem), but Aperture tells me that it is going to import over 4,000 photos from my iPhone 6 Plus, not the 1,200 that is on it. This is because of a bug that is double and triple counting many of the photos and videos.
Interestingly enough, Image Capture recognizes only the 1,200 photos on the iPhone, but I'm reluctant to use it because it won't append the Metadata that I have preset in Aperture or automatically run the preset enhancements. I also don't use Image Capture so I'm not sure if it might leave out any Metadata or have some other drawback that I'm not aware of.
So far I've don't he standard troubleshooting, have restarted my iMac and iPhone 6 Plus, ran repair permissions, waited for an update, etc. but I still have the same problem.
I've all but given up on Aperture and am waiting anxiously for the Apple to release the new Photos software, but I need to spend time to work around this bug before then. I can't leave this many photos and videos on my iPhone and need to get them imported into Aperture.
Is there an obvious fix to this that I'm overlooking?

If Image Capture imports correctly, use it to import to a folder and then import that folder to Aperture. You can use the same presets when importing from a folder as when importing from a camera of iPhone.
The same buggy behavior has been reported for iPhoto, since the iOS 8.1 release. It happens in iPhoto, Image Capture, Aperture, but not all are seeing this problem.
For example, see these discussions:
iPhoto Yosemite duplicates Photos while importing from iPhone
iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone
Connecting iPhone duplicates photos in iPhoto
duplicate photos in camera roll on iPhoto
Unfortunately, there is no clear picture yet, what circumstances will make it happen, and how to prevent it.
For some forum members it was the Photo Stream (Duplication upon importation from Iphone to Iphoto), others found it was caused by HDR photos, for some the problem went away after the 8.1.2 update, for others it started with this update.
A few forum members reported, that it helped to dismount the iPhone and plug it in again (iPhoto 9.6 shows duplicate photos present on iPhone), and then the duplicates went away. One member reported, that Apple Support claimed this problem to be caused by iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta), and indeed turning off iCloud iPhoto libary (Beta) made he duplicates vanish for him.

Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.
