Aperture 3 can't find images during import

I create a project and try to import images into it. I hit import, the directories open yet when I navigate to folders that have images in them none of the files show-up in the window. I can see the folders but they look empty.
Doesn't matter if the images are jpeg, gif, RAW or whatever.
This has happened to me twice while trying to work a deadline. Even quitting Aperture 3 and restarting it doesn't work. Repairing permissions doesn't work, rebooting the MacBook Pro doesn't work. But when I get home and lo and behold now they show up even though I've done nothing differently, maybe the only difference is that I'm plugged into AC power.
Very weird. It's not a drawing previews issue. I've let the laptop sit and no image filenames show-up. Not even in a folder with a few jpegs in them that should be a snap to render. I'm running Aperture 3.0.1
Really ticking me off as I've been on deadline and my Photoshop CS3 won't open Canon 7D RAW files. (I refuse to buy anymore Photoshops due to the RAW plugin blackmail to upgrade). Had to use Canon DPP to convert the files since my DNG converter was outdated and I was in the field with no bandwidth to download a new one.

Anyone else have this issue?

I also have this problem, both on my desktop and my laptop while using Aperture 3. This is just one of many, many bugs which is causing me a lot of frustration while using this. Apple, you really need to fix this, and the other bugs -- which are considerable and numerous.
And why is Aperture sooooooo slow? Just retouching takes forever, while the same tool in Photoshop is immediate. Exporting large files are problematic, and sometimes the menu bar disappears. NOT GOOD SOFTWARE!

Can not find size_t during import a dll and calling a function crash labview

Hello, experts
I need to use FingerLakeInstrument DLL ( see the attached) inside Labview to talk to a CCD camera. it is built from microsoft visual studio C++
I unzip FLI dll in my D:\proj\...\linfli-32 and import dll from there. created a c:\FLIDBG.txt as FLI dll needs to write debug message to it if FLISetDebugLevel() or others are called.
During importing the dll, first thing I got is <sys/types.h> ( ie size_t ) cannot be found. I have installed free version of microsoft visual studio C++
but can not find "typedef unsigned int size_t"
at the end, I just added
typedef unsigned int size_t;
in the libfli.h. Having done that, I am able to import all functions into Labview and have a user library called libfli.
However, as soon as I start calling a simple function in a test.vi, such as FLIGetLibVersion(char* ver, size_t len), which involves nothing other than the library, the labview will crash.
I created a simple C test.exe which calls many functions without any problem
any suggstion?
regards
xiaofeng
Solved!

Hi, Smercurio_fc
thanks for your reply. Yes, you are pointing to the right place. I have solved the crash problem.
when importing DLL into Labview using Tools\import\Shared Library (.dll), Labview automatically set the calling convention as C not as stdcall (WINAPI). it is this that later the labview crashes when a function is called. as soon as I manually re-selecte calling convention as stdcall, my test.vi works OK (see attached).
I tried Call Library Function too to call libfli.dll, as long as I select stdcall as call convetion. the test.vi works.
How do I know which Call convention I need to choose if there is no infomation from DLL provider?
as for the size_t,
I add #include <crtdefs.h> in libfli.h and
add additional include path as
C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\VC\include. this solved the "not found" issue.
for this case I know that the DLL is built from VC++, is this right way?
again, thanks for your time.

Rotate images DURING import

To be able to rotate images DURING import would be a nice feature. I can do this with Apple's Image Capture. They are imported wih the rotation I have requested, and this show in the icons too.
I like popping a folder open and view my images in icon view. I don't have to open a program at all. It's quick and efficent way to view my images, but also the orientation is correct right from the beginning with the original. Maybe one more step in the import process, for those of us who don't mind it, BUT it's also one more step I DON"T have to do in Lightroom, Photoshop, or any other program. And the rotataion in Lightroom are temporary to the eye anyway.
This is good feature/option to add to the import. Lightroom ROCKS. It just elimanted a multi-step, multi-software import process. Almost. The "rotate during import" feature would seal the deal. It's a big deal to me. Like the Apple Image Capture, you could place rotation icons on each image in the preview window. If you added that, man, solid gold!
thanks,
Craig

DW Harrison:
Sure, I get that, but I can understand how non-destructive editing is useful in image adjustments where later you may regret having added too much saturation in the reds, so you're glad you can go back to the original. But who wants a portrait image rotated in landscape orientation EVER? It's a personal preference, and, no, not a priority in my opinion.
Ian:
You may think your post was enlightening, but, perhaps to someone else. Surely not me. I've always known what the 'real cause' is -- some software, i.e. WEB BROWSWERS, ignore the EXIF tag. Hence, my question was more of a philosophical one: why have portrait images rotated sideways, only to have aware applications ON-THE-FLY rotate them according to the EXIF tag? Why not just have the original file re-written in different dimensions?
For that matter, I specifically spelled out 'why can't... [the file be] rewritten from 800x600 to 600x800'. Hence I find your response 'They will be if the rotation tag is set in the camera' pretty darn irrelevant. No, they WON'T be rewritten rotated. Only by Graphic Converter if you have the option selected, or other applications that don't come to mind right now.

Where can I find images like clip art?

Where can I find images to use like clip art on my mac in mavericks?

Wow! Really, you just can't? How about all the button art from the previous versions? Can those be found somewhere and imported. The iDVD button art from the latest version (came on the iLife 11 disc) is really sparse! Can you "make" your own button art? Thanks for your help.

Firefox can't find images that are there. ALL other browsers can!! Durrr - it just started happening on live an test websites to which there have been no changes

Try www.avivastringquartet.co.uk
You will not see pictures on the index.html page.
Try it in Chrome,Opera, IE and all is fine
Look at source and look for image by clicking on <img src="..."- says it can't find image.
Also Firefox does not follow the CSS standard as the others do.
Current OS is windows XP

The pictures appear OK for me.
With the site on display, click on the site identity button (for details on what that is see the [[site identity button]] article) and then on More Information. This will open up the page info dialog.
First select the Permissions panel, make sure that "Load Images" is set to allow (selecting Use Default should also work)
Next select the Media panel, then click on the first item in the list. Use the down arrow key to scroll through the list. If any item has the option "Block images from (domain name)" selected, de-select the option.
This should hopefully resolve your issue, but also see [[Images or animations do not show]].
Some add-ons can also block images, for example if you have AdBlock Plus installed, make sure that you have not accidentally created a filter to block the images.
The encoding for the site is set to "UTF- 8" rather than "UTF-8"

If you can't find it in your applications folder you will need to reinstall your Mac OS X. Take a look at this link, https://discussions.apple.com/message/16478873#16478873

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Can't find images in album imported

I have been using iPhoto for over 10 years now but I
just bought Aperture3.4 a week ago and i'm still trying to learn how to navigate around.
I created an album from a memory card but can't find the images inside the album and can't find the flag icon as well.
What did I do wrong?
Thanks guys.

, I downloaded my images from my memory card and it soon appeared in my Aperture library,
It is still not quite clear, how you are importing:
Did you connect a card reader to an USB port, and use Aperture's Import panel?
When the Import panel showed you the files, that can be imported, did you press the button "Import Selected" in the loer right corner to import the image files to your library, or did you select your photos straight away and created an album from them?
If you did not press the "Import Selected" button, you did not actually download any images and the album you created will be empty. Insert your card again and make sure that the files are imported. Then they should appear in a "Recent project".

HELP!!! Aperture can't find original files!

Help!!! I imported a 64 Gig SD Card into Aperture for an engagement shoot. It imported the files, about 2,000 CR2 files. I had to clear the SD card to do another shoot. When I returned to Aperture, it shows a thumbnail of the file, but yellow exclamation point saying ORIGINAL IMAGE NOT FOUND!!! I'm guessing Aperture tried saving original files to the SD card and NOT my hard drive. When I was clearing the card, highlighted the files and put them in the trash on my IMAC. Then I emptied the trash. I also re-formatted the card on my Canon. So... I have downloaded Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery, Data Rescue 3, and ISkysoft Data Recovery to see if they will either recover files I emptied from my trash, OR recover the files on the SD card. I can't find the files! To this point, this my best work as a photographer. I'm mortified! If someone will help me I will be indebted to you forever. Thank you!

If you really deleted the files, there is little hope, but data recovery.
If you have you not restarted your mac, since you imported the images, don't do it., before checking the caches. Sometimes Aperture will write to the $TMPDIR, if the drive it trying to write to gets offline during import.
Check these system folders, if youcan find any cr2 files:
Quit Aperture.
Open a Terminal window and enter the following two line:
open $TMPDIR
This will open a Finder window with cryptically named folders. Dive into them and look for Aperture's Media cache folder. Are there any image files in the folder "com.apple.Aperture"?
Sometimes Aperture will write to that directory, if it cannot write to the Aperture library.
Also check the following location:
open /tmp
Can you find any images in the these two caches?
When I returned to Aperture, it shows a thumbnail of the file, but yellow exclamation point saying ORIGINAL IMAGE NOT FOUND!!! I'm guessing Aperture tried saving original files to the SD card and NOT my hard drive.
Are you using Aperture 3.5.1?
This version will tell you, where the missing originals should be, when you select the thumbnails and use the command "File > Show in Finder". When I try this, I get a panel showing the path to the missing original. Does that really point to a file on your SD card?
What are your Import settings in Aperture? What is set in the "Store files" option? "In the Aperture library " or something else?

Aperture can't find photos on SD card from Canon XSi

Aperture 2.1.1 can't seem to find any photos on an SD card from a Canon Rebel XSi when I try to Import from the card, which is in a USB card reader. I could swear that Aperture 2.1 was able to find the photos no problem.
I had to manually drag all the photos into a folder and import from the folder.

Ok, I finally figured it out: it's a bug present in both Aperture 2.1 (on a Powerbook G4) and Aperture 2.1.1 (on a 4-core Mac Pro).
If a) Aperture is not currently running AND b) Aperture is selected as the app to run when a camera is connected AND c) you connect a camera, THEN when Aperture opens, it will go into Import mode, and the GUI will be pointed at the camera, but Aperture will in reality be pointed at some random folder in the file system. The tagline at the top of the window will read: 'Import from "a folder" to a new project.' when it should read 'Import from "Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi" to a new project.'
No pictures will be shown for import. A file system column view will be shown, but it will be empty. This is what made me think that the card couldn't be read.
This bug can be worked around. Moving the "Import" GUI bar to the file system section, then back to the camera, will fix things and allow the camera preview images to start appearing. Also, if Aperture is already running when the camera is first connected, the problem does not occur.
I don't know if it matters, but I still have the Aperture "splash" screen enabled, which allows you to pick an activity (Import from Camera, Import from Folder, Just start using Aperture, etc.) before the main GUI comes up. This may or may not affect the appearance of the bug.
I tried the same test with a Nikon P5000 point-and-shoot, and saw the same behavior (i.e. the same bug), so it doesn't appear to depend on any peculiarities of the camera firmware. It's just an out-and-out initialization bug.

Lightroom 3.4.1 can't find images.

Hi,
I have genuine Adobe Lightroom 3.4.1 installed on my Windows 7 laptop. Suddenly, it won't recognize any stored images while it displays: "Can't find file". All the images are stored on my computer, and nothing has been removed or put in an other file. The newest imported photos are supported though and Lightroom seems to recognize them. I can edit them as well.
Does anyone know what's going on?
Thanks in advance,
Maarten

Please post the screen-shot as full-resolution, not reduced size. Just upload it to the forum using the camera icon near the message edit text-box. Also, collapse the Navigator image area at the upper left so more of the folder structure is visible.
In Library, you are seeing a preview computed, earlier. In Develop LR needs to recompute the preview based on the current settings and cannot because it can’t see the CR2 file.

Iphoto message can't find image

I imported 80 photos into iPhoto 11. Ejected SD card properly. Created an album. Now I go to download or copy-off one of the images and it says, "Can't find [IMG1234] reconnected the disk..."
Why?

Sounds like you're running a Referenced Library:
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Aperture now says no images to import on my Canon 20D

After working just fine for months, now suddenly when I connect my Canon 20D to my Mac, Aperture launches but says there are no images to import. I'm able to use Image Capture to import the *.CR2 files and can them move them into Aperture, but I don't understand why it suddenly stopped working.
When it stopped, I was using it to import from one memory card, finished that one and put another card in the camera, it said there were no images on the card and continues to think so, even after importing using Image Capture, erasing the card and shooting more pictures.

Curious: Are you formatting the card in your camera or using Image Capture, etc?
You may already know that formatting in camera is the way to go to avoid any problems.

Safari can not upload images newly imported into iPhoto. I have to shutdown iphoto and safari before the latest import of images into iPhoto is found my safari.

When I want to upload images to facebook on safari - from a NEWLY imported album in iPhoto - Safari can not find the new album in iPhoto. Obviously the most commonly uploaded images are the recent ones. I am uploading them to a facebook page, not my own account - which is not possible from iphoto. So I have to shutdown safari and iphoto and then do the upload again. This has happened me three times now - and - well - its one of those annoying things that windows 95 could have done and super safari can't .... could apple sort this out sometime. Please.

You'll not get a rebuttal from me. I still run into Wizard of Oz moments.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Can't find photos I imported from my Galaxy S5 to iPhoto?

I imported pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S5 to iPhoto on my MacBook Pro, and iPhoto says that they have been imported like normal but I don't know where they are. I checked "last import" and "last 12 months" but can't find them anywhere. Is there a way to find them? Thanks!

See if you can create a Smart Album with the criteria Camera Model is Galexy 5S. If the photos are in the library Galexy 5S should be an option in the menu and that should show the files.
If you do see the photos you can Control (right) - click on one of the thumbnails and select Show Event from the Contextual menu to get to the event they are in.
