Aperture 3 - Places doesn't show up??

Hi
Trying to tag my photos with Aperture 3 Places feature. I can search and tag pictures with location, but no map ever shows up. Just the grey background of the application.
Anyone has been able to find a solution to this problem yet?
- Alex

I have the same problem as Samuel. I updated a few pics from iphoto to Aperture3. The first day I was able to set around 5 pics with no problem. But on the second day the map appeared blank. I do not have VPN, I checked my Lan and wireless, and tested in two different places but with no luck. I reinstall aperture3 and upgraded twice to 3.0.1 patch but still without solving.
Am I missing anything? I looked all the menus but I do not see any configuration for places section.
Thanks in advance for yor help.

Aperture 3 - Places doesn't show the map

Hi,
just a quick question. I'm using Aperture 2 now, and thinking about moving to Aperture 3. I've downloaded the trial version to check out all the new feature. And i love it! Or boy...64bit support, curves.....:)
But one thing bothers me - when i've tried to use Places feature it's not showing any map. Just a white background. My photos have GPS coordinates (the same photos working fine in IPhoto). And i'm just wondering - is it a "feature" of a trial version or some kind of bug?
I remember i had the same problems with IPhoto after the initial launch of Places feature. But now it's working fine.
I'm on LAN connection at home (VPN). I guess that maybe a problem. I'll check other internet connection options as soon as i'll get to my studio.
Thanks for any help.

Places doesn't show the map

I recently did the operator system update, and i put all my iphoto folder in an external hard drive. After passing everything back to my MBP, iphoto doesn't show the map in places. I do not know wht I did wrong.

Places doesn't show up for geo-tagged photos from phone (Sony Ericsson)

So I have a Sony Ericsson T715, which has triangulation geo-tagging for photos, I can see their location through the phone no problem.
However, when I import them via the Bluetooth File Browser to my Mac and import them into iPhoto '09, their location does not show up the photos seem to hold no information on this.
Why is this? How should I import them so that this information stays? (Was a reason why I bought this phone.)
I tried looking at the phone/importing through Image Capture, but it doesn't seem to work... keeps randomly opening iPhoto and showing nothing. In Image Capture it shows the photos, but I can't import them - just says it's importing, but does nothing in the end.

No one but the people who made the phone if the data is not there then it is not there and it is not an iPhoto issue - it is a phone issue - their tech support is the place to go
iPhoto handles correctly formatted Geo Date in the correct EXIF fields - getting it there is the soure hardware's job
LN
PS threadjacking is not the best way to get answers even if it is an iPhoto question - new threads that are on the subject are much more successful

[SOLVED] KDE / Dolphin : panel's places doesn't show the label of LVM

i'm not sure if it's a bug or a missing feature in arch but in the panel's places of Dolphin all my LVM partitions are labeled « X GB hard drive » even if they have a real label name. It's just working with non-LVM partition. (In debian dolphin i don't have this problem, LVM patitions are defined by their label.)

is anyone having the same problem ?
I take some time to find a solution, not sure if it's a problem of my configuration, a missing feature, a arch bug or a kde bug... If it's one i can open a bug in the system
I'm actually on KDE 4.8.90 but it was too in previous version

I aggree with you : it's only a partial issue as those partitions are mounted under /media with their label name.
As krusader is able to retrieve the label name i don't think it's an udisks issue so it's more related to a kde functionnality. I looked for missing (optionnal or not) dependencies but without success.
Any idea is welcome... perhaps opening a bug could help ??
I have run out of ideas.
If you tried krusader, yes, it is quite safe to assume it is not a udisks problem, since I tried nautilus which uses udisks2. I also would rule out udev/systemd. Leaves solid, kdelibs, and the kdebase sources.
As said, on gentoo, kdelibs are compiled with udev dependency which I have not seen in the pkgbuild for kdelibs.
I think a bug report is a good idea.

Aperture 2.0 doesn't show all of iPhoto library

The first time I pulled up the iPhoto browser within Aperture, it didn't find any of my photos and then after a few minutes, it finally loaded in about half of my events. So not only is it showing an incomplete view of my iPhoto library, but I also can't get into any of the events or any of my iPhoto albums...nothing I click on responds..the browser just freezes up.
Is anybody else experiencing this?
Just tried it again, and this time it allowed me to click around but it still is only loading in half of my events.

I eventually found what the problem was on my end...
I tried lots of different things (placing my iPhoto library on another volume, rebuilding it, renaming all albums/events names which contained special characters (even not so special, such as é, à, ë), recreating the AlbumData.xml file, etc.), nothing worked.
Finally, I found that the problem came from one single picture that was included in the Event which was the first that was not shown in the iPhoto browser (in other words: the browser showed 14 Events out of a few hundreds - the picture was in the 15th Event). I guess it was corrupted or something.
I deleted this picture and now, the iPhoto browser in Aperture shows ALL my Events. Happy

Software update doesn't show 2.1

When I open Software Update, Aperture 2.1 doesn't show up.
One possibility for this is that I don't have Aperture installed in the Applications folder on the startup drive. Could this be the issue?
The other possibility is that I have a volume license. But I thought volume licenses qualified for free updates?

Just a comment - it is NOT a good idea to move Applications, especially the Apple variety, out of the Applications Folder. If you wish to use another organisation method, why not use an Alias to Aperture in a Folder of your choice, leaving the real Aperture where it belongs. I have a few such Folders with aliases.

Iweb doesn't show aperture media browser??

Hi guys.
Can anyone explain why Iweb doesn't show aperture media browser??
I have latest version Iweb and latest version Aperture 2.0
Thanks for help

Perhaps Aperture is not supported by iWeb.
If you [search the Aperture forum for iWeb|http://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?objID=c184&search=Go&q=iweb], you might get better results.

Aperture 3 Import Dialog Doesn't Show Any Images

Sometimes the import dialog just doesn't show any images. First time I encountered this I had to restart Aperture. But now even that doesn't help.
Screenshot:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1250153/a3.png
Any ideas or fixes?

Hello qua
You don't say what your source is when your imports have been experiencing problems. Are you importing directly from a camera (or a card in a card reader)? Or are you importing images which have already been downloaded to your hard disk?
I've just completed importing approximately 5,000 images which date back to 2001, across several hundred projects. These have, obviously, been imported from an existing disk-based archive. Every so often, I'd find what you've described - the import window with the source correctly selected, but no preview images. I never worked out a pattern for this behaviour. However, I found dealing with it +for my particular circumstances+ was as simple as pressing <escape> to cancel the import and then immediately beginning the import again. It never failed on the second time around. I never needed (for this problem) to quit and restart Aperture, let alone reboot my system.
The problem I just described was being experienced on a fully patched 3.0.1 system. Of course, you might be experiencing something slightly different...
Regards,
Gary

Aperture 3 doesn't show my 7D copyright info

Why is it when exploring the metadata of my photos in Aperture 3, None of the "creator" or "copyright information" is filled in.
I have a Canon 7D, and I've imputed that data in my camera, to append to each photo. But it doesn't show in Aperture.
If I'm to open the photos in Adobe Bridge, however, it does show up.
What's the deal?

When I import into Aperture the IPICT Data like creator are imported just fine. Can it be that you have defined a file import preset, that overwrites/clears these data?
have a look at the Import Settings Panel in the import window, and check the entry for "Meta Data Presets"

IPhoto 11 doesn't show places but still shows gps data

I have some photos that don't show up in places. If I do a slideshow and uses the places theme, it shows them in the correct location. Any idea why it is doing this?
Another odd thing is if I highlight all events, 377 events, 1500 photos and do a slideshow with the places theme it only shows two places and I have quite a few more than that listed. Why is it doing this? Thanks.

I just noticed this with a different photo. They were definantly not in the same place, the first set was in california, the second was in arkansas. It shows the location for both just a little to the right, and up from Cupertino. I just did an extra 16 that don't have places set, and all of them show the same place in Cupertino. iPlaces is a revolutionary new feature?

IPhone 3GS doesn't show up in iTunes

(Sorry for the length of this, but I want to make sure that I don't leave out anything that I've done.)
It all started last week when I installed Starcraft 2 on my Mac mini (the new one that came out in June 2010). Starcraft 2 crashed frequently due to the nVidia driver issues in 10.6.4, so the next day I re-installed OS X from the DVD that came with my computer to rollback to 10.6.3. Starcraft 2 worked better, but that's beside the point.
Later that day I noticed that iTunes didn't show my iPhone 3GS when it was connected (I have had zero problems with this since I got my Mac mini last month). (I'm using iTunes 9.2.1, by the way). I searched a bit, and found the instructions to Uninstall and reinstall iTunes (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1224). I followed the instructions, and everything worked quite well.
At this point, I thought the problem was either due to my re-install of OS X or Starcraft 2 (I'm using a USB headset, which could somehow be related).
I was having other issues with Starcraft 2 at this point, so I decided to install Windows XP SP3 via Boot Camp. I did this, installed Starcraft 2, and played away.
When I rebooted into OS X, again I noticed that my iPhone wasn't showing up in iTunes. I started to follow the uninstall steps again, and this time I noticed that iTunesHelper wasn't running. It wasn't running because it wasn't in the list of login items to run when my account logs in. Since I was part way through uninstalling anyway, I continued with the process and then reinstalled iTunes. Once again, iTunes saw my iPhone fine. This time I also manually added iTunesHelper to my login items (I had to right click iTunes.app, Show Package Contents, navigate to iTunesHelper.app, and drag it into the list of Login items; I did check the Hide checkbox, since I recalled it being checked during the first uninstall).
It was a few days before I checked iTunes again (I rebooted a few times in here to play Starcraft 2 in Windows; note that I haven't ran Starcraft 2 in OS X since I installed Windows XP previously). However, once again my iPhone wasn't in iTunes.
Since I want to sync my iPhone today, I once again follow the uninstall iTunes process. This time, after installing it and verifying that my iPhone shows up in iTunes (again, I had to manually add iTunesHelper to my login items), I immediately rebooted and connected my iPhone. It didn't show up in iTunes (which I kind of expected at this point). I verified that iTunesHelper was indeed running.
I also tried connecting my wife's iPod touch (first generation), but it doesn't show up in iTunes either (not that I expected it to).
I've tried changing the USB port the dock connector is connected to, but that doesn't seem to matter. I did not change the port during the last reboot attempt, so I do not think that the port itself is bad. I have it connected to one of the ports on the back of the Mac mini, not to one of the ports on my keyboard. Also, my iPhone does charge when connected to this port even if iTunes doesn't recognize it.
At this point it sounds like the iTunes 9.2.1 installer doesn't do something that is required for the iPhone to be recognized by iTunes after a reboot, even though it sets things up properly right after installation. Based on the uninstall instructions, I compared the iTunes related files on my Mac with my wife's (a MacBook from early 2008, if that matters), and everything seems to be in place.
I've seen quite a few other posts here regarding issues with iPhones (and iPod touches) not showing up in iTunes, so apparently this is a common issue, but none of them seemed to help my problem.
Do you have any ideas of anything else I can try?
Thank you very much!

I think my problem is fixed now.
For the fun of it, I reinstalled iTunes 9.2.1 today (using the exact same installer as I did yesterday), but this time I didn't uninstall iTunes first. As expected, iTunes recognized my iPhone (as I expected it to, until my next reboot).
A few minutes later, Software Update showed up and among the updates is "iPhone SDK Compatibility Update". The description indicates that installing this should fix an issue where iPhones and iPod touches aren't recognized by iTunes. Isn't that interesting?
I installed that update and most of the others waiting for me (including Java, Safari 5.0.1, and a few others - not 10.6.4 though, due to the issues with nVidia graphics cards). After the reboot, I started iTunes, and it saw my iPhone!
So, if you're having this same problem, I'd recommend tracking down this update and see if that does the trick for you. Hopefully it will.

ITunes doesn't see Aperture Library - iMovie doesn't see Aperture Library

Issues:
Nearly all of my videos in the Aperture/iPhoto library do not show up when I select iPhoto library option in iMovie and iMovie is unable to locate them in any other way. Sometimes the option to select the iPhoto library is completely missing.
iTunes does not recognize my Aperture library, and I get the following message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications." After reading through forums and multiple Genius Bar appointments here is most of what I have done:
Created multiple new Aperture libraries, selected them in Aperture, rebooted, switched back and forth - Note: iTunes DID recognize the new blank libraries
Booted Aperture with the Command + Option keys and run all three options to repair permssions and even rebuilt the database
Booted Aperture with the Option key and selected the library I was using all along (this worked for someone in a forum)
Opened iPhoto (not Aperture) and selected an option to share photos
Run "Verify Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Run "Repair Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
Reinstalled OSX
Reinstalled Aperture
Reinstalled iTunes
Reinstalled iMovie
Run a virus and malware scan (no issues)
Verified that Aperture was set to share previews and had a Genius go through all of my options to ensure they were correct in iTunes, Aperture, and iPhoto
Have ran "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition multiple times. Each time it just hangs for hours, the latest attempt ran for over 24 hours before I finally stopped it.
Oh yes, and I found and deleted the file com.apple.iApps.plist
None of these things fixed either of my issues. According the the Genius at my last appointment, now I have to call Apple Care and pay to get support. I must have misunderstood what the Genius Bar was about when I bought my Mac and why I purchased the One to One training. Before I call Apple Care, I was hoping someone might have run across this and can help me.
I asked the Genius if I now need to just create a new Aperture Library and move all of my content to it (that was the last resort for someone in a forum); however, he was concerned that even if this might work that I probably have deeper permission and/or other issues that need to be addressed and that doing so would not fix the root cause.
Thanks for taking the time to read through this issue.

Understood. I thought perhaps the period meant that I was finished and just needed to call Apple Care and fork out the fee.
The formats are primarily .MOV straight from the iPhone. Since going to a Mac, I have pretty much given up on using my Sony Handycam for family videos due to the pains of having to locate, identify, convert, and export AVCHD video to watch on Apple TV. It is just too easy to take video with my iPhone and import it and immediately watch it, although the quality is nothing close to a dedicated video camera, especially indoors and in lower light. All of the video formats in Aperture are supported and most all of my older home videos and Sony Handycam videos are sitting on an external drive (hoping that one day I will have the time to figure out a decent workflow to access them after I work all of the bugs out of iMovie). Great thought though.
All my content is managed. After a handful of One-to-One sessions at the Apple Store, I finally learned that you could not reference videos in iMovie and had to either have them in the iMovie Events directory or in iPhoto (at least that was what she said). Their solution was to import the videos into iPhoto so they could be easily accessed in iMovie. After I had issues mentioned in this post their solution was for me to purchase Aperture that could handle larger libraries. This was supposed to fix the issue and allow iMovie to see my videos. When that didn't work they said that I needed to purchase Final Cut Pro. I'm just a Dad who wants to make a few memorable home movies for his family and I don't think that I should have to purchase a $300 application, especially after paying a premium for my Mac and the iLife software, which I am deeply regretting. But I digress.
I have repaired permissions again and am in the process of repairing the library and will rebuild it again if that doesn't work. It is taking longer so I won't be able to post the results until a later time. Definitely worth a shot to try this again.
If this doesn't work I will take the time to create a new Aperture library. Like I previously mentioned, this was the last resort for another gentlemen who had a similar issue. After doing this it might explain why the "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition is getting hung up and not working. I'll post the results at a later date. If I could save just one person the time, gas, and stress I've experienced it would be worth it.
One additional question? I read a gentlemen's post that passionately argued against ever using iPhoto, Aperture, or iMovie to ever manage video files. He suggested using folders and a file naming system similar to what I used when I was on a PC using Adobe Elements. Do you have any thoughts on that?
For my situation, I have two concerns:
I'm afraid this would not allow me to watch the videos on Apple TV as simply as I can now (although I don't know this to be the case for certain). If the videos aren't in my photo library, I'm not sure how I would be able to access them through Apple TV.
Since I'm a proud Dad I have hundreds of video files spanning many years, so I also don't want to lose the ability to quickly peruse my event library and find content that I want to import into a project in iMovie. At one point I imported some video files to edit that weren't stored in iMovie, and I could only see the file name and date and had to guess if there was content on it that I wanted. When you have hundreds of clips like I do that isn't practical.
He argued that these programs were never meant to manage content and worked much more efficiently using this method. I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts.
Thanks again.
