Aperture 3.5.1 Stuck "loading assets...."

I have 164,532 items in my main Aperture library (when I click on Photos under Projects, that is what it tells me). When I connect my iPad, or iPhone for that matter, to my Mac Pro 2009 Mavericks (20GB RAM at the moment, as one of the sticks went bad), After a while it looks like it is showing all the pictures/videos on the iPad (or iPhone), when I try to import, I can select the images/videos I want to import, but nothing happens when I click the import button. "loading assets..." never stops. I can leave the iPad connected all night, nothing will change by morning. So, with my iPhone, I created an empty library, and imported all of my pictures/videos from my iPhone without any issues. Both my iPad and my iPhone (had) have over 10,000 pictures+at least 100 videos on them. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.

Do you have the option "Do not import Duplicates" enabled? If you already imported from the Photo Steam, this option will prevent downloading again. That you could import into a  new, empty library suggests that either the library needs repairing or you already are having imported these photos earlier, perhaps from the Photo Stream.
If yu cannot access the Import setting, try the following: Open the "Activity Viewer" before importing. When you are seeing Aperture stuck on "Loading Assets", try to select that line in the Activity window. If possible, press "Cancel task".
In any case, repair your Aperture library after the force quit.
Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Your Aperture library may have become corrupted, so that the Import dialog cannot access the database files inside.

  • Aperture stuck importing photos, loading asset frozen

    aperture stuck importing photos, loading asset frozen

    I found a sequence that has worked for me a couple of times, first with a managed library and also with a referenced library. Once you see in the Activity window that nothing is progressing, select the root Folder Import and hit Pause Task. This should pause everything. Now, go and try to Quit Aperture. This will send you a warning that you are Importing, etc. and give you either Quit or Continue. Select Continue.
    Go back to the Activity window and select the root Folder Import and hit Run Task. It should be working again.

  • Aperture 3.3.1 stuck on loading assets

    Trying to import photos to Aperture 3.3.1 on iMac.  It just sticks on 'Loading Assets" and after a few seconds, it shows TWO SD cards in the Import field! Neither loads any photos to Aperture.  Up till to today, the same equipement has allowed me to import with no problems.  And yet on my MBA 11", the same SD card and reader work perfectly!!
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,

    Well you might try moving your aperture cache to the desktop along with the preferences. First read   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805     Remove the Aperture preference located in     ~/Library/Preferences...   where ~ is your home lib.  look for (com.apple.Aperture.plist)  You might want some parts of the preference back so the desktop is better than the trash.
    Glad I could help 

  • Aperture frozen on "loading assets"

    Recently upgraded to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6.  Never had this problem prior.  Aperture, when importing camera card (or from iPhone) is frozen on "loading assets".  Sometimes I see no previews of photos and sometimes I see a few previews but am never able to actually hit import button.  I've tried rebooting,  I've tried opening up more hard drive space, I've tried to import to different locations, I've tried importing from my iPhone: None of this worked.  Please help.

    I've got the same problem and I've done a fair bit of testing, without any real solution.
    I've repaired the database, and that made no difference. I've started with a blank photo.library and that made no difference.
    One of the tests is this:
    Insert an SD card or camera (via USB), then Aperture 3.6 (A3.6) starts up itself, and the import routine starts. It says "Loading Assets". If you click on the swirling circular icon, a window pops up with the Activity. You can compare the progress of file importing in this Activity window with the number of Imported files notified at the bottom right of A3.6, which also says number of files imported.
    It should go through the SD card and complete the task and the activity ends.
    However, instead, randomly, it often gets stuck, part way.
    When I eject the SD card in Finder and reassert it, the routine starts up again.
    I've done this repeatedly, with my Photo.Library and a blank database/library. I've used two SD cards, on 1Gb the other 2Gb.
    I've tried it with A3.6 running and I've tried it by closing A3.6 each time and starting the program fresh.
    Each time I get random results. It starts the import and freezes after a random number of photos. Sometimes, it stops after just 6 photos, sometime its stops after 156. Occasionally, it completes the task and does all photos (on these SD cards that's about 220 or 415 photos).
    There seems to be no rhyme or reason.
    In 10 recorded tests (out of many unrecorded), it completed as follows:
    1) 155 photos imported
    2) 176
    3) 136
    4) 156
    5) All 415 photos, task completed
    6) 256
    7) All photos, task completed
    8) All photos, task completed
    9) 6 photos
    10) All photos, task completed

  • 3.01: iPhone import stuck on "Loading assets"

    I'm trying to import pics and movies from my 3GS iPhone. When I try to import them, there are no thumbnails visible and Aperture shows the message "loading assets" in the activity window, but that's it. Am I the only one experiencing this? If not, is there a solution? Of course I could import them through photo loader (or whatever it's called in English) but I'd rather not...

    This is becoming a bit of a solo thread, but never mind.
    Turns out that the import setting "RAW+JPEG Pairs" isn't only about RAW/JPEG pairs but about all files. My setting was "Import RAW files only", which I construed as "If the camera is set to save both RAW and JPEG files, import only the RAW files" but which actually seems to be "Do not import JPEGs, only RAWs".

  • SD card fails to import - generates endless "Loading Assets" routine.

    I seem to have a dodgy 8GB SD card, although it functions in the camera (Canon SX30), and I can manually transfer the photos into Aperture 3.2.1. Attempting to use the Import functions in Aperture result in zero activity apart from at lower left of the Aperture window, where the spinning paddlewheel endlessly spins while Aperture is equally endlessly "Loading Assets".
    On the first occasion this happened, after a day or two elapsed the message popped up telling me "not to be a naughty boy and properly eject the media" (although I rarely lapse in that regard). After ackowledging same, Aperture appeared to have resumed normal operations.
    At the second probing attempt to import from this card,the malfunction resumed, and I have reformatted the card in the camera.
    My quetion is: "Is the any way I can break the loop?"
    As I view the situation, force quitting is not required because both iMac and Aperture are otherwise working fine.

    It's been a while since you posted this question. I read in another post that it had to do with photos deleted on the SD-card. Once you 'Empty Trash' for the SD-card, the problem should disappear. At least that was what happened in my case.

  • Loading Assets 3.0 - OSX10.6.2 - Demo

    G'day all,
    Just downloaded the demo of Aperture and it's not doing anything when I click on "Import" and navigate to my personal photo storage area on my Macbook Pro 13" running OSX 10.6.2. (The folder they are in is called ~~PHOTOS~~. It just keeps spining the circle thing and says "Loading assets".
    I've turned off "Recognise faces" or whatever that option is called.
    I've clicked on "Decide later" for access to camera and don't want to click on "Use Aperture" would that cause a problem ?
    The program looks awesome from the demos I've seen online but I can't even look at any images yet.
    Please help !

    I just saw that other thread when I was at work and couldn't wait to get home to try.
    The tilde ~ was the problem. As soon as I removed it and replaced it with a minus sign - it opened up the images.
    Now it's time to see what this program can do !
    Yippee.

  • "Loading Assets" unable to import

    Working with Arerture 3.4.5
    I'm trying to import from a CF card, and while all 1355 jpeg thumbnails are loaidng snappily, I can't start importing them, as I'm stuck on "loading assets" and never unstuck.
    I've tried shutting down, rebooting, a different usb port, etc...  Sometimes it will show the ImportCHECKED BUTTON AS CLICKABLE, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT.
    What's going on?

    Try deleting your preferences to reset import.

  • Where to down load assets with Asset Capitalization date and Book value..

    Hi All,
    What is table/Transaction code  to down load Asset with below details:
    1) Capitalization
    2)  Acquisition value
    3) Book Value
    4) Book Dep Value
    5) Cost center
    Thx In advance..
    Regards,
    Shirisha

    You can try the Asset History Sheet report S_ALR_87011990 (which has all fields except for cost center) and if you want additional fields you can choose to add new fields through the link [Include own fields in FI-AA standard ALV |https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ERPFI/IncludeownfieldsinFI-AAstandardALV] the relevant report for Asset History Sheet should be Asset History Sheet -> FIAA_SALVTAB_RAGITT includes CI_REPRAGITT (out of RAGITT_ALV01). Else a quicker option would be to perform a vlookup process from another report that has cost centers like S_ALR_87011979.

  • Applications stuck loading.

    Four applications on my iPod Touch are stuck "loading." What I mean is that I downloaded them off of the app store through the iPod a day ago, and since then they've just sat there with their loading bars empty, with "Waiting" underneath them. I can't delete them, and resetting the iPod doesn't do anything. I'm currently out of town, so I haven't been near a computer to try synching it.
    If it matters, the apps were Metal Gear Solid Touch LITE, Megaman II LITE, the update for the Cracked app, and the update for that popular free building game whose name escapes me. Help?

    Alright, so this is what i did and it worked for me.. I had a grey app loading and it was stuck on "waiting" would not load. So i hooked my ipod touch to my computer waited till it was done syncing then i turned my ipod off then turned it back on... when i synced it back up and looked at my apps from my computer it was gone..i then disconnected my ipod and looked at my apps and it was no longer there..sooo its gonen yay..i hope this works for you!

  • Using ADI to load Assets

  • Flash 6 application upgrade AS1 - AS2 loaded asset gotcha

    Basically we are upgrading a large flash site from a flash 6
    AS1 model, to a Flash 7 AS2 model.
    This has gone well with one exception - the site has a
    resource of nearly 2500 flash assets that are loaded in by the main
    application. Within these assets are function calls without scope
    for example -
    someFunction();
    Which in Flash 6 AS1 would be caught by the funciton defined
    as _global.someFunction();
    We have automated though JSFL the conversion of these
    function calls prefix them to give them scope - however
    re-publishing these assets then causes other problems with font
    mappings, etc... So this means a manual run trough is still
    required.
    We have also tried to patch the loaded movies by attaching
    functions to the movie and assigning them to the correct ones in
    our main application - but this too fails - for instance using a
    patch such as -
    loadedMovie.someFunction = function(){
    _global.someReplacementFunction();
    typeof(loadedMovie.someFunction) retruns "function"
    however a call such as
    someFunction();
    on the seccond frame of the loaded movie fails to trigger the
    call and is in-effective. Could this be because the loading movie
    is AS2 and is not sensitive to the loaded assets script model?
    If anyone out there has any ideas of a work around this type
    of issue then please post - as manually processing 2500 assets is
    not something we will relish...
