Aperture 3 and Facebook

Hi, I love the idea of uploading direct from Aperture however I'm worried about what happens if I had to reinstall Aperture or I bought a new Mac etc, would the album be deleted form the Facebook site?
I know this happens in iPhoto as far as I'm aware.
Thanks for any tips.
Latest updates.

Oh I see, thanks

  • Moving iphoto's mobileme and facebook galley into Aperture 3

    In iPhoto I have a lot of mobileme and facebook gallery that I update frequently.
    I'd like to use Aperture3 also for this, but I'm unable to import these galleries.
    I migrated all iphoto's library into Aperture, but on the left of Aperture mobileme and facebook galleries didn't appair...
    can u help me please?

    You are correct with your re-explanation
    I typically have one album that I push all my family/snapshots too on Facebook, so in this case, I just deleted that album on Facebook, and restarted by creating in in Aperture, so now I am in sync. I have other albums already on Facebook that I will leave as is.
    There was/is a Facebook plugin for Apeture I was using in Aperture 2:
    http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/aperture/facebookexporterforaperture.html? cmp
    I assume it will still work (32-bit only of course). It has not been updated in eons though, as you can see. This plugin simply pushed any selected photos up to Facebook, and allowed you to choose which album on Facebook. You then had the extra step of then going into your Photos section on your Facebook profile, selecting those photos, and "approving them to be published". Tedious. I actually like the Aperture 3 way better now (like in iPhoto before). The bummer of course is that you have to start from ground zero in terms of the synchronization

  • Unlink Aperture from Facebook and still keep the albums on Facebook?

    Is it possible to unlink Aperture from Facebook and still keep the albums untouched on Facebook?
    I really liked the Facebook exporter feature in Aperture until I realized that whenever you deleted a project or photo from the program the changes are reflected in any Facebook album it was associated with. Now I'm concerned about what would happen if something goes amiss with my Aperture Library and would prefer to just manually upload my photos to Facebook from now on. I have seen a few fixes for the same issue in iPhoto but not much about Aperture and don't want to do the wrong this and all my photos disappear from my Facebook.
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    I do not publish to Facebook, so I cannot try this, but the "Aperture 3 User Manual" say this: See
    Publishing Images to Flickr and Facebook
    The recommended procedure is to disable your Facebook account in Aperture to unlink it from Facebook, not to delete the albums inside Aperture:
    Deleting Flickr and Facebook Albums
    You can delete Flickr and Facebook albums in the Aperture library at any time. Keep in mind that deleting a Flickr or Facebook album in Aperture deletes the corresponding Flickr set or Facebook album along with its contents online.
    Warning: Deleting Flickr and Facebook albums permanently deletes the corresponding Flickr sets and Facebook albums online. If you want to temporarily remove a Flickr or Facebook account in Aperture, but keep the albums and images as they are in your Flickr or Facebook account online, you can always disable your Flickr or Facebook account in Aperture. For more information about disabling and enabling accounts in Aperture, see Disabling and Enabling MobileMe, Flickr, and Facebook Accounts.

  • Another Aperture and iPhoto problem i am having

    I today imported 5 photos into aperture, i done keywords and other metadata pictures are all jpeg large 12 MP images. I then go-to the new iphoto 09 and again select show Aperture library find the pictures and drag them into a album on iphoto for easy uploading to facebook etc 3 of the pictures in iphoto when clicked are good clear images the other two when clicked are poor quality scaled down images why?. I thought the masters were left within aperture, and iphoto just loads them from AP. Can somebody explain ?

    For most folks using the Previews is pefectly good. And bearing in mind what Facebook will do to the shots there’s no doubt that the Previews will be perfectly adequate.
    You can set the quality of the Previews in the Aperture Preferences -> Preview Pane.
    If you want to use full size pics then you’ll need to export from Aperture and then import to iPhoto. However, if Facebook is the destination then that’s utterly pointless. From what I’ve seen no matter what you upload they compress the cr*p out of it, strip the metadata and colour management.

  • Aperture and/or iPhoto ??

    After a recent photo shoot I realized that I finally needed to update my photography workflow.
    Currently I import pictures from my Rebel XT directly into iPhoto 09, I then make an album out of those pictures, go through my selection process of rejecting the majority of pictures, and then do any post processing in PhotoShop CS3 with the pictures that made the cut. This approach works but I find it cumbersome importing the images from PhotoShop once I have made adjustments. Ideally I would do it all in one application, which prompted me to purchase Aperture 2, as iPhoto's editing options are not robust enough for my needs.
    Tomorrow I will be installing Aperture and now I am left with the question of whether I should use Aperture as the application to manage my quickly growing picture library (currently around 10k) or if I should stick with iPhoto to handle the entire library and just use Aperture to do work on specific albums that post processing is required on.
    Many pictures I have taken and will take will never require post processing (ie pictures from a point and shoot) but I want one place where I can at least view all of the pictures in my collection (from point and shoots as well as SLR's).
    Should I keep iPhoto as my library organizer or should I let Aperture handle everything? What would/do you do??
    Thank you in advance for any insight on this!

    Everyones responses have been very insightful, thank you.
    I previously did not want to dirty up my original question by bringing up iPhoto exclusive functionality such as Faces, Places, Facebook/Flckr/etc integration; but I am glad it has come up.
    When the aforementioned iPhoto specific features were first announced, my initial reaction was that this new functionality would be inherited in the next version of Aperture, after a little thought though I am not so confident that will be the case.
    The responses to my initial question were unanimous that I should switch to Aperture to be my sole picture library management solution, prompting me to draw the conclusion that Aperture is the pro version of iPhoto rather that an application that works in tandem with it. Is it then appropriate for me to draw the conclusion that the aforementioned iPhoto exclusive functionality is considered more "home" than "pro" and therefore would not be migrated up to Aperture?
    I guess I am making this difficult because I wish to maintain one library containing "home"(point and shoot) and "pro" (SLR / post processing) pictures, without loosing the functionality appropriate for each category. I understand that a "home" user may never care about the editing tools available in Aperture and that a "pro" user may never care about tagging peoples faces, but I believe there is a category of user that will sometimes want to do both.
    When it comes down to it, I do not believe the iPhoto exclusive features will be enough to keep me from moving my entire library to Aperture, and hopefully some of those features will end up being inherited in an update someday.
    I would love to hear everyones thoughts on this but understand if this thread has lost it's appeal. Thank you again for the previous responses.

  • Sync issue in aperture, with Facebook since 10.8.2

    since the upgrage with 10.8.2. Aperture is working erraticaly, few crashes, especially when i enter in the preferences my facebook login, accepted, but when i close Aperture and reopen, the setup is gone.
    Furthermore, i had a lot of albums in facebook, via aperture, i can't find them and i can't post new photos from Aperture.
    I am very disappointed since the 10.8.2 update, apple new releases were almost bug free, now a day it is not the case anymore.
    thanks for your help.

    Well, just in case anyone else has the same issue....
    I went back to "classic view" in preferences, and then unchecked "organize by conversation" and it miraculously re-appeared. This conversation thing is a good idea sometimes, but not if it's going to make mail hard to find....

  • Aperture and iPhoto - sharing the same library? Synchornizing libraries?

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if it is possible to either:
    1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
    2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
    Thanks.
    My major concerns that keep me from going to Aperture and forgetting iPhoto altogether are:
    a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
    b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
    c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...

    1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
    No. Th Aperture Library is a much more complex beast than the iPhoto one. The two apps can shar the same photos though.
    2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
    No. Neither is an "external editor" like Elements. Importing is a once-off thing. Once you import a pic to Aperture it never references the iPhoto version again - and vice versa.
    It's tempting to think of Aperture as some kind of "iPhoto Pro". It's not. It's an entirely different application. When you edit a pic in iPhoto the apps preserves your original file and creates an entirely new file - the modified version. When you edit a pic in Aperture that doesn't happen. Your edits are recorded in the database and +applied live+ when you view the pic in the Aperture window. This is a very different way of working and the principle reason why the two apps don't - and can't - read each other's Library.
    a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
    You can email from Aperture in exactly the same way as iPhoto. There is a Facebook exporter for Aperture (though, given what Facebook does to photos, I can't imagine why anyone would want one) and there are lots of other exporters available as well. Search on MacUpdate.
    b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
    Aperture can do the same - and in the same way - if you set it to share Previews with iLife and iWork in the Preferences
    c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...
    They will.
    There are some differences: No Face and Places features in Aperture, Aperture won't deal with video at all, you cannot order postcards and calendars via Aperture and Slideshows are better on iPhoto. But if you share the Previews with iLife, then you can access any of these features you want via iPhoto.
    The best thing to do is download the Aperture trial and experiment with it.

  • Uploading from Aperture to Facebook

    I'm trying to upload some photos from Aperture to Facebook and I'm not having any luck.
    I select my photos
    I click on the facebook button
    I enter my email and my password and I accept the terms
    I click on Login and I get:
    An unknown error occurred.  Please try again later.
    I installed Sean Farley's facebook exporter plug-in and I still get the same failure.  I also tried disabling secure browsing on facebook and that also had no effect.
    Has anyone else run into this?  I'm guessing this has to do with facebook's continuous changes to their privacy and security mechanisms.
    Thanks!

    You might have "Login Approvals" turned on in Facebook.

  • Emails and facebook notifications ...

    Hi,
    I've had my blackberry bold 9700 since the 11th June. Since then i've had troubles reciving emails and facebook notifications. Sometimes they come though but not for a good 15 mins - 1 hour and sometimes they don't even come through at all! does anyone know what i need to do? i tried a new hanset still didnt do it, rang o2 they dont know as all settings are right their end.. anyone? thanks

    So you're not getting any data transfer to device, except when Google Maps is running?

  • I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died.  Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive.  How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?

    This is a tricky one.
    Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
    Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
    Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....."  You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
    It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
    Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive.

  • New to Apple and Aperture-I am surprised at the lack of integration between Aperture and applications as iMovie.

    Aperture slideshow is terrible in terms of entering any text on a photo.  It appears that you have to export the photos from Aperture to the desktop to import the photos to iMovie to be able to add quite good text to individual photos. While I am new to the Apple system (I am quite knowledgable in Windows), I am surprised that iMovie cannot import an Album or a Project from Aperture.  It does not appears possible to to copy and paste from Aperture to the project created in iMovie without exporting to the desktop.  This seems like a step backwards.
    Since I come from Windows I will be importing most of my photos into Lightroom3 and doing  most of my work.  Yet, there are features in Aperture that I like and will probably use both for the time being.  I am using Aperture 3 and iLife11.  New Macbook Pro

    I read the manuals and watched the tutorials on the Apple web site as well as F1 in Aperture and never saw a reference to using Windows menu to list photos in iMovie.  I check this and it does seem to work.  however, you must admit that the procedure for adding text on a photo is limited as compare to iMovie.  Maybe, it is because I want to add text to a photo for posting on Mobileme or other photo posting sites so friends can view the photos in a slideshow or one by one.
    I assume that you can answer this question. Since I was exporting photos to the desktop so I could import them in iMovie, if I delete the folder on the desktop will they disappear form the project in iMovie?  Since I do not like a lot of folders on the desktop can I move them to the Pictures folder and not loose the project links in iMovie?

  • If I install a trial version of Aperture and don't like it, will I be able to still use my photo library in iPhoto?

    I'm evaluating both Aperture and Adobe's Lightroom to decide which one meets my needs for the best price (got a deal on Lightroom 3 for $120 and I know Aperture 3 is $79 in the Mac App Store).
    I have a few questions:
    I currently use iPhoto '11 (9.1.3) and have Photoshop CS4, so I have tools for importing DSLR shots and making pro-type changes in Camera Raw, while also having iPhoto to organize my photo library and syncing Events and Albums with my iPhone and iPad.
    I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    I'm considering Lightroom because I have been disappointed with the number of bugs showing up in recent iPhoto releases. I'm a bit weary of buying another photo management software product from Apple. iPhoto '11 crashed my old iMac very frequently (I wound up upgrading to a new iMac due to this and I was expecting to run out of hard drive space in a year or two anyway).
    Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
    If iPhoto management is this unstable, I would like to consider choosing a new method of organizing and syncing to iOS devices and abandoning the iPhoto library method.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?

    I like that I would be able to maintain my iPhoto library data for Faces and Places in Aperture, but am concerned that when the iPhoto library is "upgraded" for Aperture, and I decide I don't really need that program, the upgraded library won't work with iPhoto anymore.
    The iPhoto library isn't changed in any way by Aperture. Aperture will import the Library and you can choose to copy the files to the Aperture Library or reference them within iPhoto. As long as you don't delete files from the iPhoto Library via Aperture (which you could do if you choose to Reference) there is no impact on iPhoto
    Will I still be able to use iPhoto to access and organize my library, or will it be forever converted for use with Aperture?
    They are completely different libraries.
    Recently, iPhoto bugs make Events show up multiple times in iTunes when syncing for iPhone and iPad.
    Fixed in the 9.1.3 update.
    Will I find a better user experience with Aperture, or does it also use the single file library and suffer the same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing lately?
    Like iphoto, Aperture can use the "single file library" or it can use a Referenced Library (just like iphoto can). Note that using a Referenced Library offers not a whit more in terms of features or capabilities. It's file storage plain and simple. Nothing more.
    No you won't see the "same struggles iPhoto users have been seeing..." because Aperture is an entirely different allication.
    But you my see Aperture or Lightroom struggles

  • My email account and facebook accounts have been compromised, how can I know if I have malware of a keylogger?

    About 2 weeks ago my Yahoo email account and AIM email account had been compromised and the passwords changed. From what I was told/researched at the time, changing my passwords to more secure passwords was the best option.
    I changed my passwords for the two accounts that had been compromised, and I even when as far to change my passwords for everything that I used frequently, and accounts that were tied to the email accounts, facebook, twitter, etc.
    This morning at 12:28am (EST) my facebook was accessed by somebody other than me and my password changed. When I noticed this my first thought was to check to see if my email that I log in with was compromised. It had also underwent a password change.
    Obviously the next thing I did was to try and change my passwords.
    I had my AIM email send a change password form to my Yahoo email (which hasn't been tampered with this time) I followed the form and input a new password. After that, it brought me to a page where I was to enter the new password and sign in. When I input the new password it yet again said, "incorrect password or username". After I tried the new password a few more times it finally brought me to a screen saying basically that my account was locked due to suspicious activity and I still haven't been able to try and log in again.
    I also can't access my Facebook account at all. I obviously can't send a new password to my email because I can't access it. Whenever I tried to send my info to an alternate email it wants me to answer a security question, and for some reason the answer I enter, which should be the correct answer, is said to be false.
    Facebook offers another option of recovering your account by getting 3 friends to be sent security codes, I tried this method but it would never let me complete it because I locked my account. I locked my account after figuring out it was being tampered with. Whenever I try to get the security codes sent to 3 friends it ultimately leads me to a screen saying my account is locked and I need to sign in to unlock it, which is some major bull considering if I could log in I wouldn't need to be going through the process to begin with!
    One friend has told me somebody maybe using some file to track my moves, a keytracker?
    Is there anyway I can confirm that?
    How can I get rid of it, how can I protect myself?
    I've been using the internet almost daily since I was 8 years old, I'm now 20, this is the first of these kinds of problems I've ever had.
    Protip: I run Mac OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard.

    Whatever is going on, it's extremely unlikely to be malware of any kind. See my Mac Malware Guide.
    As to what is going on, it's hard to say, but if someone is targeting you specifically, it's not that hard for an experienced person to do. It may not even require actual hacking... see the story of Matt Honan's hacking:
    http://www.wired.com/gadgetlab/2012/08/apple-amazon-mat-honan-hacking/
    In short, his attacker managed to get access to Mr. Honan's Amazon account, which gave him access to the last 4 digits of Mr. Honan's credit card that was on file. That credit card was also on file with Apple, and those 4 digits were used to give him access to Mr. Honan's Apple ID. And from there all went to h***. No hacking required, just talking to folks on the phone and convincing them to do what the hacker wanted.
    In addition, note that some kinds of accounts provide you with a way to give access to another person. For example, GMail provides a way to add someone else's account, giving them access to your e-mail. Hackers have been known to use such features to leave themselves hidden back doors, so they can keep getting in after you have changed the password. I don't know whether AIM or Yahoo have such features, but it's possible.
    Finally, note that there are always possible issues with weaknesses in the servers. For example, right now, someone's selling an exploit kit for Yahoo mail. I don't know whether the vulnerability it relies on has been patched or not, but if it hasn't been, your attacker may be using that method to get access.
    In any case, you need to address these issues with AIM, Yahoo and Facebook.
