Aperture and expose problem

I have a wierd problem, when I use aperture now, I can't see the main window. If I use expose to see all windows, I can see the aperture main window, but when I click on it the window goes away.
Its kind of like a reverse expose. Totally wierd.
This started happening soon after I hooked my MBP up to a plasma tv, but who knows if that is the culprit.
anyone have this problem?? I am annoyed

Your Main Window is located outside your Screen just try to conect a second display and move the Main window back to your first display.
You can also try to force Aperture to creata a new Preferences File if you delete
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
or modify the values considering the window position (your presets won't be touched by this because they are saved in another plist.

  • 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.

  • Mission Control and Expose Problems

    All of a sudden my mission control gestures have stopped working.  Three fingers up did expose all the windows, but not all the desktops.  After restarting my computer, the three fingers up or down doesn't work at all, and the launchpad doesn't make the background disappear as it used to.  I tried multiple ways of fixing the issue, including turning all the gestures off and restarting and turning them all back on.  Can anyone help me fix this? It is a real pain.  Also, three fingers side to side still switches between the desktops.

    Four fingers does bring me to mission control, but there is no bar at the top that shows the desktops that I have made.  Also, sometimes it glitches and all the windows disappear for a few seconds until I go back and forth across all the desktops a few times.  I remember when I went into launchpad before the windows I was working on would fade away, and they don't do that anymore either.

  • Aperture and Snow Leopard problems

    I have multiple issues with Aperture after upgrading to SL (currently on 10.6.2). The major issues are:
    (1) Whenever I import new images or make modification to existing images Aperture does not quit anymore. Command quit doesn't do anything and I have to force quit in order to exit program.
    (2) After importing new files, often not all images are shown in the project or album (although all images have been imported and the tooltip shows the correct number of images in the project/album). Furthermore, keywords searches do not work. A force quit and reopening solves this problem.
    (2) When saving or opening images the dialog box does not work properly and some folders are overlayed with black/grey boxes and things look corrupted.
    Obviously, I have installed 2.1.4 and I do not have Aperture in any subfolder (it is directly in the app folder). Furthermore, I have deleted the preferences file (com.apple.Aperture.plist) but this did not help.
    What to do next? Re-install Aperture? If I have to do this what docs do I have to delete and how can I avoid loosing any important information? I have a very large image library with many adjustments, keywords, rankings etc and I definitely do not want to loose any of that information. Thanks much for your help and advise.

    I decided to backup up everything. I then erased the HD and reinstalled Leopard Disk 1 and 2. Did all the system updates and added all the optional software on the disks. Then installed Snow Leopard. Then installed Aperture and all updates including 2.1.4 and my printer drivers. Then followed with all my other apps like MS Office and Quicken.
    Took about 2 hours.
    Everything works perfectly and is quite snappy including Aperture. No problems with any of the Aperture functions.
    It's a lot of work but its easy to do if you have other things to do while the software is installing.
    If you are up to all that and dont mind the time, you'll be happy plus you now have a clean, fresh disk.

  • HT4906 Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Both my iPhoto, Aperture and OX is update still having problem asking me to update my iPhoto.

    Make a temporary, backup copy (select the library and type Command+D) if you don't already have a currnet backup of the library and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4 as needed.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • Aperture import and desktop problem

    My Aperture main screen had changed and can not be fully used, as some pictures are not vissible in the browser view. As well the picture if shown in full screen in the main screen is not shown properly - 1/4 on the right side is missing.
    Today I realized, that the missing 1/4 of the working desk is impacting the import - the menu to put create new project and all the data of the picture is missing - so totally impossible to import new pictures.
    Does any one know how to adjust the desk in Aperture and show/hide the importing dialogues?
    help appreciated.

    Hello Milo,
    a similar problem occured recently, see this discussion.
    The problem could be solved by removing the preferences file to the Desktop and restarting Aperture, for Aperture stores the layout of the main window in this file.
    The preferences file is ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
    That file is in your User Library.
    Quit Aperture, if it is running,
    To reveal the hidden User Library in Lion, activate the Finder by clicking on the Desktop, then go to the main Finder menu at the top of the screen, and select the menu Go -> Go to Folder.
    in Lion now hold down the alt-or-option key, and your User Library will appear in the Drop down menu. Select it to open in Finder. (in other MacOS you can access your User Library by opening your Home Folder from the Finder Sidebar).
    Once your User Library is  revealed in the Finder, navigate to the sub folder "Preferences" and scroll down the long list, until you find
         com.apple.Aperture.plist
    move it to the desktop.
    Log off and log on again.
    restart Aperture and see, if the fix worked.
    And please, post back and tell us, if you were successful
    Regards

  • Aperture and iPhoto 08 integration problems

    Hi.
    I just bought Leopard and iLife 08. I read in an article (see link below) a great way to integrate pictures from your Aperture library into the iPhoto library:
    - Setup Aperture to share previews with iLife
    - Setup iPhoto to not copy items into the iPhoto library
    - Import photos from Aperture into iPhoto by using the 'Show Aperture library' feature
    Photos from Aperture (actually the previews from Aperture) are now in your iPhoto library. The great thing about this is that the Aperture previews are referenced so when you make changes to the photos in Aperture the changes become visible in iPhoto.
    However, I have discovered two problems until now with this integration:
    1. When I make a change to a photo in Aperture the change is not visible in the iPhoto preview (or what it is). But when I double-click on the preview in iPhoto the full image has the change I made in Aperture.
    2. Keywords from Aperture also gets imported into iPhoto. However, some of my photos have more than one keyword in Aperture and when imported into iPhoto some of the photos have all keywords and some only have one of the keywords they have in Aperture.
    Is there anybody out there having the same problems and even better a solution?
    Thanks!

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    The great thing about this is that the Aperture previews are referenced so when you make changes to the photos in Aperture the changes become visible in iPhoto.
    Well as you can see, that's not actually true. If you change the pics via Aperture there is no way for iPhoto to know about this change, and therefore no way that it will then update your thumbnail in iPhoto. I guess this integration is intended for after you've finished processing your pics.

  • Another problem printing with Aperture and Epson 2400.

    Hi -
    I posted this on photo.net a while ago and nobody could seem to figure this out. I've searched through here with no help either. Here is the original photo.net post presenting my problem:
    I've been having a problem with my print workflow that started about 6 months ago but has only now gotten to the point that I really need to fix it.
    My equipment: Epson R2400 with stock inks, Aperture (latest version), iMac 2.33Ghz fully loaded and updated. I typically print on Epson Premium Luster or Enhanced Matte (I change K cartridge accordingly).
    Once upon a time, I had this workflow working perfectly. Prints were coming out exactly as I wanted them to, really better than expected. Then something changed, but it wasn't hardware. Somewhere along the line, I'm guessing in a software update, all my profiles changed. I typically do all my adjustments in Aperture, then in the print dialogs do the following:
    +In the 2400 settings, I turn color management off, and in the Print Settings, I select my paper, switch to Advanced, and typically choose Best Photo or whatever quality I'm needing.+
    +Then in the Aperture print settings I choose the ColorSync profile that matches the paper and quality I selected in the above Print Settings window, keep Black Point Compression checked, and I'm off. As I said - this has worked flawlessly up until recently.+
    The one thing I noticed that has changed is the available profiles in Aperture's ColorSync Profile pulldown menu. It used to only show paper profiles specific to each paper and quality, ie. "SPR2400 PremLuster BstPhoto.icc". Now, it shows not only those specific profiles, but also more generic paper profiles, such as "SPR2400 PremiumLuster", with no quality specification.
    The problem is this: When I now select the paper/quality-specific profile, as I used to do, the prints come out all washed-out and flat. It even shows this in the preview window. It's slightly better when I select these new generic paper profiles, but still not like what I had. This is true with both types of paper I use.
    I've attempted all the usual fixes, such as trashing all my profiles and re-loading new ones from Epson, re-installing Aperture and Epson software, and trashing prefs. Heck, I've reloaded all software that even remotely related to photography so many times, I can't even count any more. Nothing - just washed-out, dead-looking prints every time. And it all changed when I noticed those new generic profiles mentioned above.
    I did make one hardware change after I first started experiencing these problems. I went from a PPC Dual 2.8Ghz G5 to the iMac, but as I said, these problems first occurred on the G5 and continued with the new iMac.
    Any thoughts?

    Well, you could dump Aperture only to find that a 2.0 came along with OS 10.5 and fixed your problem, who knows.
    And I wouldn't call 6 months of not being able to print anything at all from Aperture jumping to conclusions. When I press Apple P in any other application I get prints that even unprofiled will come out better than Aperture. It's serious. Not just sorta bad. The ocean looks like sewage water- not just mildly unappealing- sewage.
    The solution for us, I suppose, is to buy calibrator hardware. I guess anyone who is professional should have one of these (and I do not) but I didn't buy Aperture to export for printing.
    As far as how to get Apple to acnowledge this... I don't know. It seems as though they are tired of hearing me talk about this. This is the first post of recent about this that hasn't been deleted by an admin. Who knows? I'm just tired of having to buy all the hardware and all the software that is all supposed to work together and then once you pay, you find that you're up the creek for prints.
    Don't get me started, or I'll start talking about how they don't support my camera make yet (or ever).... (Sigma). As you can imagine, I'm already IMPORTING 16 bit tiffs from my raw converter. I guess I need 3 copies of the same shot to do business in Aperture for now. I need some mylanta.
    Otherwise, love ya Apple!
    P.S. If you are looking for someone with the same hardware and problem as I, it's easy. Check out the print proofing podcast page on O'reilly "Inside Aperture". There's one there in the comments part (that I replied to). Others can be found on this forum.

  • RAW JPEG PROBLEM  I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
    Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture.  What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

  • Aperture and iWeb

    Here's a question about working with iweb and Aperture that I asked in the iweb group with no luck.
    Here's the deal: iweb is not updating available Aperture photos. What is wanted, of course, is to work in both apps, and for newly added photos to Aperture to appear in iWeb soon after adding to Aperture.This doesn't happen.
    I've tried deleting prefs and caches but so far no luck and while I think this is an iWeb problem, there's this: a search from iWeb to Aperture will bring up some relevant images, but not all images.
    This leads me to wonder if it is an Aperture metadata issue and wondering if anyone has some insight.
    –ms

    Hi Ernie,
    I've tried it both ways and the behavior is the same. I keep thinking that there would be some option-click or similar activity to make it update, but I am seeing now that it is more than updating. iWeb simply isn't seeing some of the Aperture records no matter when they were added to Aperture, and, as far as I can tell, at least for now, the issue is related to custom fields.
    Thanks for helping.

  • Different colors in Aperture and Photoshop - trying everything

    I'm having problems with color in PS CS2 looking a bit flat after doing "edit with" from Aperture. I shoot raw and do most processing in Aperture 2.0, where I have on-screen proofing turned off right now. I "edit with" PS, which exports to a 16-bit .psd file that opens in PS; I understand I have no control over the embedded color profile, which is always Adobe RGB, I believe.
    On the Photoshop side, I have selected "preserve embedded profiles" and turned on notification of mismatch, just in case. I have selected Adobe RGB 1998 as the RGB color setting in PS. I have Proof Colors turned off. I have also deselected "Desaturate Monitor Colors" in PS Advanced Color Settings.
    In Aperture, the adjusted raw and the managed psd file, sitting side by side, look identical in color. If I compare those two images to the same psd image I just opened in Photoshop, the one in the PS window is less saturated. I have the Aperture and PS windows open on the same Cinema monitor, so it's not a monitor difference.
    I'm no expert in color management, for sure...what else can I try? I’m going crazy!

    I'm no expert in color management
    An expert in colour management engineeri can fail in configuring any two ICC-enabled applications for compatible assumptions. Understanding the architecture is one thing and understanding the current conditions for configuration are another.
    In such situations as this, the best bet is to ask the Apple ColorSync Users List.

  • Any existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ???

    Hi ,
    I am designing PI Collaboration Platform and that all about Monitoring across SAP ECC, SAP PI and Non-SAP applications.
    BUSINESS CASE: Some clients are  looking for a solution that allows there management some visibility into the end-to-end aspect of processes, we will limit our discussion to SAP ECC and PI.
    SOLUTION: BAM ultimately helps solve this problem at an enterprise level - however that is a heavy investment for most organizations - is there an alternative that we can provide ? Example a generic web service that can be invoked from a 3rd party tool to provide reports.
    We do have solution :
    We can configure Proxy adapter and can write Java web service to invoke a method to extract the data from ECC and one or more report generating methods based on the standard ( like PDF,EXCEL etc)
    but we are still looking  for an existing BAPI that can be wrapped and exposed as a web service ????
    Need solution for the above ?

    Hi Sanjay,
    Yes  BAM  has a bigger take, if you are looking for PI monitoring reports  then please have a look at the following blogs which might
    give you some insight.this basically deal with reading data from SXMB_MONI tables.
    http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/909760cb-0ec8-2a10-4a96-ee8417acfbc9
    http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/PIMonitoringFunctionality-FetchingDatafromSXMB_MONIStandardTables-PartI
    i dont think there is any BAPI as such atleast wrt to PI.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000  photos in my iPhoto Library. Can I import only certain events from iPhoto into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library?

    I just purchased Aperture and have 20,000 + photos in my iPhoto Library. I see that I can create a unified library between the two. I am wondering if I can import only certain events from iPhoto (like only 2014 events) into Aperture or do I have to merge the whole iPhoto library? Are there any benefits to bringing the whole iPhoto library over to Aperture (iPhoto is SO SLOW for me, I wonder if it is because I have so many photos). Or, any detriment to only bring a few events over?
    And, if I don't merge the two libraries, I assume that means I cannot do it at a later date?
    Help. My local Apple store has had very few Aperture workshops, and the next one is like 2 months away.

    Thank you so much for this information. Here are some responses/comments:
    Disk space - it says 114.43 GB out of 499.25 GB free. I have no idea if that is enough.
    iPhoto version is 9.5.1
    Again, I am not sure how to know if I have 3rd party software...but I don't think I do. Is 3rd party software anything non-apple?
    I will try rebuilding the library. if that doesn't help, maybe I need more memory...? That is what Apple suggested, but that, of course, means buying something else. I've already bought APERTURE, on their recommendation...
    It wasn't, and they told me it was slow because I had too many photos for iPhoto to handle and that I should buy Aperture. Which I did.
    What is your iPhoto version? Are you using the most recent version 9.5.1?
    iPhoto can handle 20000 photos, no problem.  Your computer can be slow for several reasons:
    The most common problem for slowness - insufficient disk space. Don't let your free disk space drop below 20 GB of free space, better more. If the operating system does not have enough working space and the applications you are using, you will notice a very lagging behaviour.
    Older or incompatible softweare can cripple your mac. Do you have any older third-party software installed, that might have installed incompatible kernel extensions?
    Aperture might be slow or keep crashing, if you imported a corrupted image or incompatible video,  that cannot be processed. Then Aperture will try over and over again to create previews and never succeed.  You could test for this situation, by launching Aperture with the Shift-key held down. This will defer the generation of previews. If Aperture will launch and work better this way, you probably have some bad media in your photo library.
    Another problem to check for is a corruption of your Aperture/iPhoto library. You have run the First Aid Tools to repair the iPhoto Library, but have you ever tried to rebuild the library? See this post by Old Toad: Rebuild iPhoto Version 11

  • HT202020 Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

    Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
    I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
    Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
    Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!
