Aperture 3.3.2 in OSX 10.8.1 Cannot import images?

Hi,
It seems my Aperture updates and when i import images now. For example from an SD card, the import action goes ahead.... I choose source, create a FOlder ti import into, choose location on hard drive to store... IMPORT... and after a while importing all images and previewa appearing, I get an error message saying ¨Import Items Completed with Errors¨, 0 items have been imported into the projhect named X. Aperture failed to import x items listed below.
This is really weird as after I ckick OK i look in folder and not even the previews are there anymore...
Anyone know what is going on???? Attached error message. You see movies in error message bu they were just a few, the rest are all images.
Thanks,
Alex

Aperture 3.0.1 Problem with Importing Images

The problem I am experiencing with Aperture 3 is that often when I am trying to import images to a project, the images "do not show up" in the import window. In other words, Aperture doesn't "see" the images I am trying to import.
Here's what I mean, I might have photos on a CF card or on a hard drive which I would be trying to add/import into a project. Sometimes but not all the time, when I select the folder or location where the files are that I am trying to import, no files show up! These are just regular JPEG files. I know they are there because if I look with OS X's Finder, the images are all there. As well, sometimes if I quit Aperture and restart it all over again, the images that I want to import now show up in the import window.
This problem doesn't change either whether I click on the "do not import duplicate" box or not. Although as a side note, this "do not import duplicate" function doesn't seem to be reliable either.
Does anyone have any suggestions regarding what I can do to fix this? Can I "reinstall" Aperture? How do I do this? Is this something I can fix by rebuilding the library?

I didn't even realize that I too had this issue until I came upon this thread. I went into my Import window, selected my hard drive and only the folder structure would show - no images corresponding to those within the folders would appear in the window above.
Odd, though, all I did was uncheck the 'Do not import duplicates' box and suddenly the images now appear, and continue to appear after a relaunch of Aperture. I've since rechecked the duplicates box but the images still appear.
I don't know if it's related to the initial toggling of the duplicates button or not. Nor do I know if the problem will appear sometime later, but I do know it was/is an issue.

Mac OSX, 10.7.5, LR 5.6 After creating a new folder in the Destination section and importing images, the new folder name appears as 2010, no matter what name I give it. Why is it doing this?

I am experiencing Mavericks failing to copy subdirectories from usb sticks, I am backing up game saves from a console. Both sticks I use are fine, same permissions of course since the console wrote the files. Sometimes it copies, sometimes it doesn't. It seems to be related to the mounting process.
Thank God Apple hasn't (yet) broken bash.

Photos won't import images from my Canon camera. When connected, program sees the images, tells me it will import the new ones, then freezes once import starts, not allowing any other operation to happen. MacbookPro 15" 2012, OSX Yosemite 10.10.3.

Solution discovered. Faulty connector cable. Tried a different one and it worked.

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:

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.

Importing images with Aperture 2.1 Trial

I've installed the latest trial version of Aperture and have tried importing images from one of my external hard discs, but having navigated to the folder containing the images I want to download, (all of which are RAW files from my Nikon D300), no thumbnails show up and Aperture tells me there are no images that I can import.
I've navigated to other folders that contain various other kinds of image files, (e.g. .JPG and .TIF files), and still Aperture won't display them for import. However, when I connect my camera direct to my laptop and navigate to its folder, no problem! Up come the thumbnails and I can import as many as I want.
Does anyone have any idea what might be going wrong? i.e. Why can't I import RAW files from my external hard disc?
Many thnaks,
Chris

I'm having the opposite trouble. All of a sudden, Aperture refuses to show thumbnails or download images from my Nikon D-50, but I can get them using Image Capture and then import from the hard disk.

Aperture 2.1.4 problem - have thumbnail but not full-size image

I'm relatively new at using Aperture. I have been downloading photos from my Nikon D200 into iPhoto and then modifying those photos in Aperture. This has worked fine for several months. However, after installing v 2.1.4, I can no longer access the images I've altered in Aperture, although the thumbnail images are still present at the bottom of the screen. How do I access the images previously modified in Aperture? Are they stored somewhere in iPhoto?
I've been hesitant to download images from the camera straight into Aperture because I'm still not as proficient as I'd like with the program. For whatever reason, there are few training opportunities for Aperture here in the US....another issue.

Thank you for trying to help me with the problem. Let me back up a bit further so that you can better understand my problem. Here are some of the problems:
(1) I had been downloading all my pictures (Nikon D200) into iPhoto. After selecting a few that I would like to make adjustment using Aperture, then only I import versions of it into Aperture. The way I had been importing images is by going into Aperture, go to File show iPhoto, select photos by dragging them into album that I had created in Aperture. Is this the correct way of importing photos from iPhoto into Aperture?
(2) After making adjustments in Aperture recently, the next day I went back into Aperture to see them, all the pictures in the viewer is replaced by " Unsupported Image Format". Why Aperture let me do all the adjustments if this is unsupported image format? It only tell me this, the next day after I had tried to view all the photos with adjustments that were made earlier?
(3) Dozens of adjusted photos (versions) from my albums in Aperture had also disappeared. I had not use the vault in Aperture as yet. The question is where are all my adjusted versions being stored? My Aperture Library is shown to be empty! I thought at the very least, all my versions is stored in the Aperture Library. How do I store versions in this library?
Yes, my workflow may seems convoluted at the moment, using iPhoto as my reference and only dealing with versions in Aperture. The reason for my madness is quite simple ( I thought), I need to understand Aperture really well before importing photos directly into it and bypass iPhoto altogether. With all the problems that I am facing with Aperture at the moment, I am not quite there yet.
All help is greatly appreciated.

Since upgrading to OSx 10.9, I cannot place my music for iPhoto slideshows. The only music that works is the Sample and Theme music that comes with iPhoto. Any idea of what to do about this problem?

In iTunes go File -> Library -> Organise Library -> Reorganise Library.
Then quit and restart iPhoto.
Credit to user keysandfood who figured that one out.

Aperture won't let import images because of inadequate space, even though teh drive has more than terabyte. Any ideas?

Aperture won't let me import images. It tells me that there is not enough space in the Aperture volume. I am directing the images to a remote drive that has plenty of space. Any ideas?

It tells me that there is not enough space in the Aperture volume.
Is your library managed or referenced? If referenced, are the library and the originals on the same volume? And how full are the system drive and the drive with the library?
I am directing the images to a remote drive that has plenty of space.
So your drive is not directly connected? What kind of drive? A NAS?

Cannot Import in Aperture 2.1 - not a camera or connection problem

Ive tried 2 cameras, 3 different USB leads and every time Aperture 2.1 does not show the import path or the images on camera to import, Aperture shows an image of the camera top left & produces a blank grey box that appears every time the mouse is moved then disappears in a cyclic manner.
Window, show activity - reports nothing
Tried, shut down, restart etc & even re-installing & recover from vault, none of which have worked or even changed the problem.
Checked preferences but cant see anything obvious import related
Apple, if this a software issue I really need a solution ASAP please.
Connect both cameras to Windows XP using same leads & both work fine, I shoot raw 12 bit NEFs & .jpg on other camera and have imported successfully in the past so this is not a post update or new installation problem, it has worked in the past absolutely no problems with both cameras.
Thank you

In reply to both,
No I havnt just upgraded, Aperture 2.1 worked perfectly well the day before & had done for some time with a variety of cameras, & then yesterday PM, refused to import images with this grey box appearing and disapearing.
I have always imported images using direct camera connection, its worked very well with all versions of aperture.
I couldnt even import images locally from the hard disc so not camera related.
Therefore I have done a complete bare metal restore from Time Machine to yesterday 10.00AM which now works, theres some Java update nagging to get installed but its going to get ignored because that may have been the root cause of it all.
Thanks for posting anyway

please help
thanks

Aw geez, they sure have messed up OSX.
Do you have a backup of 10.8.2?
Maybe...
Bootup holding CMD+r, or the Option/alt key to boot from the Restore partition & use Disk Utility from there to Repair the Disk, then Repair Permissions.
If that doesn't help Reinstall the OS.

With OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files with 11.0.04?

using OSX 10.8.5 cannot open PDF files from Xerox Docushare with recently downloaded PDF 11.0.04

That crash is a known bug in Apple's display code.
But it's the QuickDraw code, which Apple does not want to fix.
There is nothing we can do about that OS bug, other than to suggest using a more recent version of Photoshop written to the Cocoa APIs.

RAW JPEG PROBLEM I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto). Now I have two images for each photo. Help!! How can I change this?

How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture. What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

Aperture 3.4.1 automatically switches to the next or previous image

For the past few weeks Aperture has been doing something really odd and extremely annoying. While I'm editing an image, aperture will suddenly move to the next image. It happens primarily when I'm using the stamp tool and am stamping adjustments onto the image. I lift adjustments from one and as I go to stamp the selected image, aperture suddenly moves to the next or previous image. Sometimes I will have go back to the image I am intending to edit as many as 5 times before it stays there.
This is incredibly annoying and killing my workflow. Has anyone ever experienced this? If so, what can I do? Suggestions and/or more questions welcome.
Thanks!

Nah, "Highlight Priority Mode" was switched off.
Here's the examples:
1. This is my finished picture. The information is still avaliable in the preview. So this is what I wanted it to look like and how I remembered it.
http://cl.ly/image/3I2D0V1L2O0Q
2. This is how Aperture makes it look now!!!
http://cl.ly/image/3B0o0a0r051g
3. This is what it looks like when I make a copy from the original and then stamp the old settings onto it.
http://cl.ly/image/1g0w0u152t3i
Go figure. It's just random and did I mentioned that I am deeply frustrated with an otherwise excellent program? :-)
If this is bound to happen with our pictures, how can we reliably work with this? I have paying clients who come back to me months and years after and need to have access to their stock of photos.
