Aperture 3: Geotagged Photos show up in wrong part of world

I imported a set of geotagged photos. When I look at places in Aperture 3 several of the photos are appearing in the wrong part of the world ( Kazakhstan instead of Nova Scotia). The photos were taken / geotagged by my Blackberry Storm. When I travel I'll take a picture with the Storm to get the geotag info and then later copy those coordinates into the photos I take with my camera. The photos with the copied coordinates ( I used PhotoMechanic to set the location info) are showing up in the correct location by the way.
The Storm photos show up in the right location when viewed in iPhoto, Flckr, Photo Mechanic, Google Earth.
Any ideas why this would be happening

Just stepped in the same problem on my Mac Pro, Aperture 3.2.1, iTunes 10.5.1 and iPad updated to 5.0.1.
Once selected Aperture as reference library for photo syncing I selected specific projects and faces. As a photographer I have volumes of material I just can't copy completely on devices.
I noticed the number on the right side of projects in iTunes were way below the actual content. Syncing just let me verify on my iPad a lot of picture were missing.
Deselecting Aperture and photo sync, erasing pictures from the device and restarting from the top didn't help.
Also repairing photo database gave no effect.
I solved by updating ALL photos previews in Aperture. It took the whole day, 16 hours, but in the end, quitting both AP and iTunes then enabling photo sync showed the correct amount for each project, same on iPad.

  • I cannot get photos placed in InDesign CS5 to show up only as grayscale/black. When a separation is done, part of the photos show up on both parts of the color separation. I've been hunting for a solution for hours.

    ALSO, on the iPod under Settings>General>iTunes Sync, you may need to back out of the "iTunes Wi-fi Sync," and reopen it to get it to update.

  • Aperture 3 synchs photos to iphone in wrong order

    When I synch my photos to the iphone from iphoto they show in the correct order by date.
    When I import this library to Aperure 3 and synch this one to the iphone they are all in a random order.
    How can I set them to be sorted by date??
    They show in the correct order in Aperture!

    I have been synching my photos from Aperture 2 to an iPod Touch for several years. There has ever only been one sort order once they reach the iPod—in Projects and folders by name in alphabetical order. I keep them in Aperture by date, but they wind up in the iPod by name and I've never found a way to change that. So maybe the situation is different with iPhoto, because you say you've been able to get them into your phone by date.
    I'd say you've just joined the Aperture crowd, and all we get is alphabetical order.

  • Use Aperture to geotag photos, then export

    I am using my iPhone to track my location when I take pictures with my digital camera. The app on my iPhone produces a .gpx file, and Aperture uses it to geotag my photos. These geotags appear in Aperture and iPhoto. So far so good!
    I am also maintaining a Picasa photo library for my wife's Windows PC. I would like to export these geotagged pictures from Aperture or iPhoto so I can import them in to Picasa - but I want to keep the geotag information and not recompress the file. When I export pictures from Aperture, the files come out a different size - too different to merely be the geotag information. I think the picture is being recompressed.
    Can I export without recompressing? I think I'm missing something pretty simple!
    Thanks!

    $ exiftool -geotag trackname.gpx *.ORF
    Thanks Andreas! I'm assuming I would put my logger file in the same folder as the pictures, and then navigate to this folder in Terminal before giving the command? I don't know a lot about command line stuff.

    If you could describe your workflow in some detail including how you are exporting from Aperture and the settings you are using and explain what problems you are having a solution  simpler then those proposed might be available.
    Sorry! I am pretty new to this. I am just using the JPEGs my little Canon S100 gives me. This camera actually has a built-in GPS, but it rarely works and if it does it take ages to lock on. My iPhone does a better job, so I am trying out different geotag apps to see if there is one I like. I am planning to upgrade my camera this year, and if I can get the iPhone geotagging working well I have many more choices of camera open to me. I may shoot in raw, but I really don't do much beyond cataloging my pictures to look at them later.

  • When I send a photo directly from iPhoto using the Mail app on my iMac, the wrong photo appears on my iPad2 Mail app.  However the correct photo shows if I log into gmail on the iPad2.  I assume there is a glitch with my "Mail" app on the iPad2.

  • No Aperture photos show up in Desktop & Screen Saver System Prefernences

    For some time I have experienced an issue wherein no photos from my Aperature library appear in my Desktop & Screen Saver System Preferences on the Desktop tab. "Aperture" appears in the left-hand column list of photo sources, but clicking it produces no results on the right-hand side where the thumbnails are normally shown. Curiously, if I choose the Screen Saver tab on the same preference pane, the photos all show up and are accessible.
    As another bit of background, I do sync a number of photos from Aperature to my iOS devices using iTunes and never have an issue. The full listing of albums/folders appears in iTunes properly every time.
    I have tried the all of the iLife Sharing options within Aperature and they do not seem to have any effect on this issue. I've been sticking with Share on Exit, since my iOS devices have no problems with this setting.
    Also, if I choose a photo from within Aperature to set as my desktop photo it does work, but again, when I open the System Preferences neither the thumbnail for the background being used nor any other photos show up.
    Any advice on things I can try?

    Have you tried switching libraries, then quitting Aperture, and checking Desktop & Screen Saver again? I'd be interested to see if your particular issue manifests in a different library.

  • Iphoto.  When I play an album "slideshow" some photos show up as a blank/black screen.  Please help if you know what I am doing wrong.

    Iphoto Question
    When I playing a "slideshow" album, a few photos show up as a blank screen.  Also, when I select a photo in an album to make it full screen - some photos won't "hold" - they go full screen for about a second, then the screen goes blank.  Any ideas about what I am doing wrong?  Thank you.

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: 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. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: 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.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help: As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • Photos from iPhoto showing duplicates and wrong dates. Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I have been battling my iphone and computer for the last few days trying to figure this one out. No luck. Now I turn to all of you.
    The problem is basically this: My iPhone photos app was showing duplicates of many photos taken in the last few months. They would literally be side by side. There were no edits, photostream is turned off... Those duplicates do NOT show up in iPhoto on my macbook.
    So I tried a few recommendations from some forums I read. I rebuilt the iPhoto database. I deleted the plist file for iPhoto. I restored my phone.
    Now, not only do I still have all of the duplicates, but I also have photos showing up severely out of date order. The thing that makes this obvious is that photos of my sonm, who was born in June, are showing up scattered through random months of the preceding year. I am sure other photos are now out of order as well. I only see this on my phone, and not in iPhoto.
    Any ideas?
    Thank you,
    Bret

    anyone?
    by the way, after some restoring, the duplicates are at least gone. Now the problem is simply that recent photos are showing up in months past, and in several past events on my iphone. This is in the photos app as well as iphoto. In iPhoto, I can check the info of one of those photos and it shows a....June date for example... but it shows up in the photo order back in february or march.
    If anyone has any thoughts on this it all it would be appreciated. Thanks.

  • Aperture = iPhoto + Bridge Photo Downloader + Photoshop?

    I am considering to use Aperture to streamline my workflow but I wonder about its file management capability. Let me explain the details:
    I love iPhoto to browse, find and preview photos. It provides the most intuitive, easy and fast way for that. The interface is also nice. The photo-editing capability is negligible for me as I use Photoshop for this.
    But I really hate the way it manages imported photos as Rolls and keep everything hidden under the 'Package'. So instead, I use Adobe's Bridge Photo Downloader from Photoshop to download photos from my cameras/iPhone and I set it to organize the files into folders: year/year-month/date-time of the photos taken. Then I'd import them to iPhoto - but without copying the originals. So basically I create a Reference Library for my iPhoto. I then tag/assigning Keywords the photos accordingly (I have plenty of keywords assigned). I sometimes create Events or Albums too - especially great for showing photos on my computer to friends and family.
    Photoshop is set as the external app to edit photos so from iPhoto I can open the file in Photoshop (which I have been using for all my photo editing needs including RAW).
    From what I gathered so far, Aperture seems to be a more efficient alternative to process RAW photos, and I've been wanting to find an alternative to the iPhoto-Bridge-Photoshop method above. Basically I need a Photo App that can do all the following:
    1. Import original photos from cameras/iPhone and then automatically organize them chronologically (in folders of year/year-month/date-time of the photo taken) a la Bridge's Photo Downloader
    2. Tag/Keywords, create Events and Albums, and to Preview photos quickly a la iPhoto
    3. Edit RAW files without harming the original files a la Photoshop
    I wonder whether Aperture is suitable for the usage I described above?
    Thanks in advance for any inputs!

    Hi freefire,
    So Aperture can import photosfrom cameras/iPhone and automatically organize, rename and save them into folders outside of Aperture Library?
    You can rename files on each import. However, saving files is not Aperture's job. If you put the files wherever you want, and then import them into Aperture as referenced images, they stay where they are.
    Alternately, and this would be much more tedious, you could import them all into Aperture as managed photos, and then use Aperture to "relocate masters" to somewhere else. That's sort of like two steps where one (my first paragraph) would suffice.
    If you want to organize photos by year, that is the job of Aperture. However, that is the job of Aperture *within the confines of Aperture*. Aperture is built primary to help you organize your photos within its database. You can make smart albums to show you every photo from 2010, for instance. That smart album is meaningless in Finder because it is not a primary function of Aperture to help you organize outside of Aperture. Basically, if you want to use Aperture to make directory structures for Finder, you aren't using Aperture in the most effective way.
    When I edit a RAW file in Photoshop, Photoshop keeps the new setting within the RAW file itself without creating new file and I can go back and make further changes or revert back to original state - all in the file itself.
    Are you sure about that? I thought Photoshop used the sidecar XMP files for that sort of thing. I'm no expert, but there's generally no provision in the file formats (including RAW files) for "this is how you undo something." I don't use Photoshop like that, but it sounds fishy that Photoshop will choose to write new data to a RAW file, as RAW files are proprietary and will never be produced by anything but a camera. It sounds doubly fishy that it will also write *undo data* to a RAW file. Again, I'm no expert at Photoshop, but I am an expert at software engineering, and it sounds pretty strange and error-prone.
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/3359633
    Now, when I do that with Aperture, will Aperture then make a new copy of the RAW file to be kept in Aperture Library?
    Aperture will not make a new copy of a master (RAW or not) unless you explicitly duplicate it (and that is not what you are asking about). Aperture, being a Digital Asset Manager, will never modify your masters. (Except if you change the date/time and choose to modify the master.) This is unlike photo editors like Photoshop, which may manipulate their input files and save those changes to the same files. Aperture makes a version, which is a recipe for changing the appearance of your master.

  • HT1245 Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s.

    Why does my caller I.D. photos show as a small thumbnail in the upper right corner and not full screen? I have used both photos I have synced and photos I have taken, yet others have full screen photo I.D.'s. I have looked onlime at several threads and there are no real answers as to what I need to do or am doing wrong.

    I am also having this issue.
    I've just spoken to someone in the Apple Support Centre who advised me that since the product is in beta, he is unable to assist. I wanted to find out whether someone was able to delete the data for me, or 'reset' the photos app somehow. This apparently cannot be done. He suggested I provide feedback via the feedback page, which I will do, but to be honest doesn't fill me with a lot of confidence in the issue being fixed.
    I also deactivated the service and waited the 30 days for the pictures to be deleted - this should have been completed in mid-January. Instead, my iCloud.com Photos page is now showing the photos that should have been deleted as grey squares, just as you described. I am also unable to delete these photos; every time I try, I get the same message about a server error.
    I am also unable to disable the service by enabling and then disabling it on my iPhone. Each time I have tried this it hangs on uploading for several hours, with the progress bar not moving at all. When I disable it on my iPhone, the web app remains unchanged.
    If anyone has had this issue and has managed to fix it, PLEASE share your wisdom. I am out of patience!

  • Help!!  No photos showing up in iPhoto library - Pt. 2

    I'm having the same exact problem. Yesterday, I was viewing my photos and nothing was wrong. Today, nothing shows up in the application. Not one pic!
    <Post Relocated and Edited by Moderator>

    First: Have you made any changes to the iPhoto Library Folder - renamed files or folders there? Moved things about?
    If not:
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    If that fails then
    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    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 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 08* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Events and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    In the iPhoto Preferences -> Events Uncheck the box at 'Imported Items from the Finder'
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library (Right Click -> Show Package Contents) on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Event Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.
    Regards
    TD

  • Inconsistent results using the "places" view on the iPad with geotagged photos

    I am getting inconsistent results with geotagged photos on the iPad (both 1 and 2) OS 5.01.  It seems that sometime photos will show up in the correct location on the places view others will not ( they will not show up at all).  In fact I can have a geotagged photo in one folder, synch with iTunes and it will not show up in the places view and then move that same picture to a different folder (which becomes an album on the iPad) re-synch and it will now show up at the correct location in the places view.  All photos show up in the album view.  Everything is the latest version iTunes, iPad etc.  I can also have many photos geotagged exactly to the same location (exact same coordinates) some will show up, others will not.
    I have used different methods to geotag my photos.  At first I was using Photoshop Elements 8 until they stopped supporting geotagging photos.  Now I am using a third party application GeoSetter (excellent free application).  The GPS data is clearly in the Exif data but the results are not consistent.
    Any ideas? 

    I believe I have solved this problem myself and thought others might benefit from what I found.  It turns out to be what I believe as a glitch in iTunes.  iTunes creates a cache of all the photos that you synch with your iPad, iPhone etc.  Apparently it does not update that cache when you change the photo.  At least not the Geotagging data.  The file modify date was changing but that wasn't enough to cause iTunes to update the cache of the photos.  I deleted the cache of all the photos and re-synched and presto now all my photos where showing up at the correct location in the iPad "places" view.
    I might add that I called Apple tech support and was routed to a higher tier support person and was very disappointed with his response.  He basically told me that the "place" view in the iPad and iPhone was designed to be only used with an Apple computer and Apple software and was surprised the places view was working at all with pictures synched with a Windows based machine.  He also said he was unable to help me since he couldn't provide support for non-Apple products.  Although I understand this to a point I think he was too quick to make this decision.  The solution after all was a simple one and one I think he should have known.  I would think this cache problem would happen whether I was using Apple products as well.  I view this as a bug in iTunes.  Apple needs to compare the modified date of the file and update the cache if it has changed.

  • All stacked photos show on iPad/iPhone

    Has anyone worked around this?
    I stack images in Aperture. I set the pick to be the result of several images and several versions. Unfortunately, on the iPad/iPhone, ALL the photos show. All the physical and virtual versions are there for all to see.
    Aside from separating the pick from the others and only including the pick in an album, is there any other way to not display all photos on the iPad/iPhone?

    BRILLIANT!
    I'd like to thank all three of you looking, testing and responding. It appears the correct answer for me is to use the Stack Pick option in each smart album under Aperture.
    I thought the problem was more pervasive, but after running several tests, that's what it was. I do still see some duplicate photos, but it appears to be unrelated to stacks. I do have photos showing on the "photos" tab, and I cannot figure out where they're loading from, but that's another issue.
    I would have never though to look there, so I very much appreciate the help. I love Aperture and how configurable it can be. I'm glad someone was able to figure this out.

  • Share Geotagged Photos: Flickr, Picasa or Panoramio?  Which do you use?

    I've gotten started geotagging photos. I'm using HoudahGeo and pulling tracks from my Garmin etrex. Then importing into iPhoto. Really cool.
    My photos are mostly from hiking. I'd like to start sharing some of these, but don't know which service is best. Flickr, Picasa, or Panoramio? I've started an account on all three to compare them, but I haven't installed any plug-ins yet.
    I'm wondering which service makes it easiest for others to find my photos. Not just people I know, but someone who might want to hike the same trail, camp at the same site and check it out ahead of time. Picasa doesn't have a map, but I've noticed that photos show up in search almost right away. In Flickr, my photos haven't showed up after a day (it is a holiday weekend). I understand that with Panoramio, they are reviewed first, so that could take weeks.
    So, which service do you use and why?

    CHoice is up to you - I use Panoramio and google earth because I like the way they work and integrate and I use Google earth to plan trips and see where I went
    You also might take a look at the ATP Photo FInder - http://photofinder.atpinc.com/ - it is a neat, small stand alone GPS receiver that will add the GeoCodeing to your photos without the computer - CostCo.com recently had them on sale for $80 with free shipping

  • Why aren't all photos showing up under "Photos" in iPhoto?

    Hi
    I have noticed that not all photos show up when I have "Photos" selected in the Library on the left. There are photos I just imported from my iPhone and they show up when I select "Last import" or "Last 12 months" but not unter "Photos". Any ideas what is wrong here and how to fix this?
    (btw. I have no hidden photos)
    Kind regards
    Sebastian
    I am running the latest iPhoto and OS X

    If the Photos are under 'Last Import' or 'Last N Months' then they are in the Library somewhere, just not where you are expecting them to be. We know this as both Lat Import and 'Last N Months' are not places, just listings of elements in the the Library.
    The two most common reasons that they can't be found is either an incorrect date on the camera or the Sorting (View Menu -> Sort Photos - or Sort Events, as appropriate) has changed.
    Quick route to find them: Right-click on one of the images in Last Import and select 'Show Event'. This will bring you to the image in the Library.
