Aperture 3.4.1 won't export photos OS 10.8.2. ?? Just sits there, no spinning globe, just nothing.
I have 10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4.1.
No problem to export originals and versions.

IPhoto '11 9.1.5 won't export photos
I just updated to iPhoto '11 9.1.5. It won't export photos as usual, just says "unable to create/(folder name)/(photo name)" Stupid thing. Thanks. Chelaye
I recommend doing all your software updates.
You might be able to do all your updates through the Mac App Store or have to do it in combination with "Software Update..." found under the menu. -
I was using iPhoto to edit some RAW photos I took today. Several times iPhoto stopped responding, the color wheel just spun until I did a forced quit. After about the third time of this, while I was exporting the edited photos as jpegs. I got a message.... unable to create/user/"myname"/desktop/folder. Now I can not export photos to any location, not my desktop, not an external drive, nada, nowhere. I installed OS 10.5 Friday night. Things seemed to be working OK 'till now. Any advice?
Thanks,
Steve

This might be a file permissions issue:
Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

IPhoto won't export photos without restarting iPhoto
i'm running snow leopard and the newest update of iPhoto '09. I can export photos just fine, but if I try and export photos a 2nd time, the progress bar from the previous session is still there and I can't choose my export options (nor can I do anything but "cancel") this happens EVERY time since upgrading to 10.6. So if I export photos and want to export a 2nd batch, I have to restart iPhoto. fail.
I have the same problem. In the new Snow Leopard, not only can I not export any photo from iPhoto to any other directory, but I cannot use iPhotos to Set Desktop. Nor can I drag any photo out of my iPhoto folder to another folder.
I also cannot use the Preferences Desktop/Screen Saver feature to load an iPhoto into the Desktop. The iPhotos photos display, but they will not appear in in the little preview window. Only a large question-mark appears. The program allows me to use the Apple-supplied photos, but not the ones in iPhoto. If I attempt to load an iPhoto photo into the box, it deselects the current photo and reverts to the picture of the aurora. -
When I try to export photos from iPhoto to my desktop I get the message "unable to create/users/name/desktop" no matter what settings I use in the export window. My intent is not to create a backup but rather to create copies that use the photo's title in iPhoto as the filename instead of the camera's filename that is in the embedded photo info.
What is blocking the export?Well that's why you can't export - iPhoto cannot find the particular file.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Program won't export photos to desktop......
This is more than annoying. I really liked iPhoto 06 better, as I could simply drag & drop from an actual folder on the hard drive to anywhere else on the computer. Now this version changed everything & basic functions are gone. The program is telling me it is unable to create /users/username/desktop/ This is unacceptable, as iPhoto 06 had no trouble doing this at all (not to mention that it won't let me drag & drop anymore). Is there anyone who knows what might be causing this?? Any input will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Do you have a v6 library?
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.
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 won't export all photos to Mail
Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.
I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.
See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics -
Some photos won't export as versions
A proportion of photos from various projects won't export as versions, either JPGs or TIFFs. The files themselves aren't corrupt as I can open them in Photoshop and then save them as JPG or TIFF files or whatever I want. I though it might be library that was corrupt but I rebuilt the library and the probem still persists and with the same photos.
I have my library stored on a RAID system. I've stored it before on a RAID setup but always using Apple's formatting software to RAID the HDs together. This is a hardware RAID system so the computer reads it as 2TB when it's really two 1TB drives together. It is then formatted with the standard Apple DIsc Utility. This is the only difference from before and I've never had the problem until now.
Could this be the problem? Could fragmented files on this drive be the problem? Any suggestions welcome.The way you have described your issues sounds like you are running a referenced library where you have easy access to the files through the finder. Is it possible that in the process of accessing files through the finder that some have been moved or had attributes changed? The way to identify this is by the badges that Aperture displays on an image, pg.291 of the manual see below.
To display badge overlays on images in the Viewer:
1 Do one of the following:
 Choose View > Metadata > Customize (or press Command-J).
 Choose Aperture > Preferences, then click Metadata.
2 Select the Viewer checkbox.
3 From the Viewer Set 1 pop-up menu, choose a metadata view that includes badge
overlays. Some examples are General and Ratings, as well as Viewer-Basic and
Viewer-Expanded.
4 Close the Preferences window.
Badges are now visible in the Viewer.

Aperture to export photos either TIFF or JPEG files, highlight and shadow transition has obvious faults, this problem solved!?
What problem?
You will have to be _a lot_ more specific if you'd like responsible feedback.
I export thousands of TIFF and JPG files a week with no obvious faults.

I can't export photos from Aperture
After upgrade to 10.9 and Aperture to 3.5 I can't export photos anymore from Aperture nor iPhoto.
I repaired the database in the three possible ways without success.
I would appreciate if someone could tell me what else I can do.
ThanksI have the same issue. Aperture 3.5 - just upgraded to Mavericks. Export working fine until yesterday - now I can't get the dialogue box to appear - selecting export has no effect at all.

Aperture 3 won't export at all: images held hostage
Complaining about Aperture 3 is almost pointless now with the mess the program is obviously in, but I encountered a rather distressing problem I hadn't seen reported yet.
I can't export anything. All of my photos are locked into Aperture. If I select any export option (say, Jpeg 50%) Aperture will start exporting it and never finish. It will sit there for hours if I let it. The file will never export. Activity viewer just shows Aperture attempting to export the image and never finishing. Basically, it's holding my images hostage.
The crashing and hangups I can deal with (for now), but if I can't export a photo the program is literally useless to me. If anybody knows a way to fix this issue, please help.
Message was edited by: PadriacI have now solved my problem, and it only cost me a day :-|
I had a few corrupted master files. Aperture was running a task to process a lot of pictures, and whenever it was reaching such a corrupted file, the task would hang, and it would not be possible to start other tasks like exporting pictures.
That rebuilding the library helped temporarily was just because after a rebuild Aperture would spend some time updating Places information, before it would start the processing task that would then eventually hang.
I identified and deleted the corrupted pictures, which solved my problem. Finding the pictures was something that I had to do by hand, though.
Since the problem is usually not with the pictures that one is working with at the moment, but with completely unrelated pictures, one possibility is to export the current project as a library and then work with just that library.
So the problem was with corrupted files that I had in my library. Still I think that Aperture should handle a situation like this more gracefully. If a task hangs, it should be possible to learn which picture it is currently working on and to kill the task. -
I have some photos in iphoto I copied off a jump drive. They don't act like the other photos in iphoto, for example, they won't export to my website but my other iphoto photos will. Also, when I look at the events, they don't show up. It is like I can see them, but not manipulate them the way I want.

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?
Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.

What's the best way to export Photos from Aperture to iPhoto
Hi,
so heres the deal:
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
So to get his photos i thaught i could just copy his aperture library onto my external hd.
but will i be able to import the photos into iphoto? and i'd like to not have the originals but the edited photos.
or will i have to export the photos from aperture (e.g. with my brothers, faster mac...)Paul, do your father and you have compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture? Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 or later?
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
With the new, unified library architecture you can simply open an Aperture library in iPhoto - no need to import anything.
If the Aperture library is not compatible, from an older Aperture version, you can try to export the versions on your brother's mac (file > Export > Versions).
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
That is not normal, however old the mac is.
Either his hard drive is too full and needs freeing disk space, or he has imported corrupted images, or his Aperture library needs repairing or rebuilding. He should try to repair his library, if he has used "force quit" on Aperture. See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

Exporting photos to camera memory card-drag & drop won't work
Hi! I am trying to export photos from IPhoto08 to the memory card on my digital camera. In iPhoto, there is an icon showing for my camera under "devices" but when I try to drag a photo to the camera icon, nothing happens; it just doesn't recognize that there is a camera there, even though it shows my camera by name and number. help! do you think it's the brand of card I'm trying to use?
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unless the memory card/camera can mount on the desktop as removable media you won't be able to move files to the card. Depending on the camera you may be able to change the file transfer mode so that the camera does mount on the desktop. Otherwise you'll need to get a card reader which will do the job.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.
