Aperture cannot import anything from iPhoto and other bugs!!

Aperture is buggy. Recently, I just updated Mac OS X to 10.4.5 and also updated iLife 06. Now I cannot import anything from iPhoto. I tried import images from iphoto or import iphoto library, both not working. I can import images from other directories but jut could not see anything display under iphoto library directory. Trying to use import iphoto library, click choose and then nothing happens.
If you create a smart web gallery, all photos will be automatically duplicated.

I used Pacifist.app to find iPhoto in the iLife '06 install package and then installed the app in the default location replacing the bundle that was there.
the normal method gave me an install error.
Thank you to the person who discovered this.
I was going nuts trying. I have 6 iphoto libraries with 30,000 photos in total and some would import fine and others would not. couldn't tell the difference between them and had forgotten the update. just got a new iMac intel and wasn't paying attention. Causality

HT1229 I cannot import pictures from iPhoto to Powerpoint

I am unable to import pictures from iPhoto to Powerpoint 2011 :Need hekp; Using Mavericks and updated Microsoft powerpoint also...
Need urgent help..
Thank you

You do not ever directly access the contents of the iPHoto library - use the media browser - in the lower left of the insert window under media ==> photos ==> iPhoto
See the user tip on accessing your iPHoto files for more info -- https://discussions.apple.com/community/ilife/iphoto?view=documents

Keeps freezing, can't import anything from iPhoto. :(

Imovie keeps freezing everytime I scroll over the videos. So I got the new Imovie update and now I can't even import from Iphoto.
Please help

Hi
Please try
• Create a new User Account
• Log into this
• Re-try iMovie (You may need to add some Video-clips into Event's - as they and Projects follows the User Account)
If it now works OK - Then most probably the iMovie Pref. file in the old Account has gone corrupted (can easily be so by force quitting / Panic halt's and like so)

Cannot export video from iphoto to other location

Hello ,
i could not move video from iphoto to external hard disk or desktop. I'm using Mac Pro with RD. The steps I did as below:
1. Select the video
2. File, export , select origin, ok
3. error message appear stated that video could not be prepared .
Any way to do it ?

The problem is that iPhoto is looking in the wrong place for the file:
/ Volumes/Sagate/Iphoto_Library_2014.photolibrary/Previews/2014....... "
It should be looking in the Originals folder.
Option 1
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. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places 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.

Cannot import picture from iPhoto to set mail

I tried to drag a picture from iphoto to birthday greeting in mail but the picture in greeting is not opening up.
What am I doing wrong?

Have you managed to get it into an email but it shows as an icon rather than an image? If so, control+click or right click on the image and select 'view in place'.
If you are creating an email using Mail's Stationery feature you may want to save the image from iPhoto to the Desktop and then drag it from the Desktop into the template you've chosen.

Cannot import pictures from iPhoto into iMovie!

When I try to upload my JPEG pictures from iPhoto, I can successfully drag them into the storyboard, but they all show up as the same picture (the picture right before all of them). When I try to drag them into the workspace below the storyboard, I see the number of them (doesn't matter how many) in a red circle, not allowing me to drag them over from the browser.
I don't know what I am doing wrong. Can anyone help out with this?

Open the photo Browser in iMovie. Find your Album. Drag the icon for your Album into the iMovie Project.

Cannot import anything to iPhoto

Hi,
I've seen this problem in various guises but not an exact match for my problem.
iPhoto will not import any images at all. Anything I try - from my camera, iphone, off the web etc. gives the same message:
'The following file could not be imported. (the import failed)'
I have tried using time machine to restore the application from the point where I successfully loaded a photo - no joy.
Hope someone can help.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Where is your Library?
As a test:
Create a new Library: Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library' and see if you can import to that one.

HELP - V3.4.5 Importing issues from iPhoto

Hi all,
A newbie here so apologies if this basic subject has already been covered!
I have just updated my software version of aperture to version 3.4.5 and I cant seem to locate any of my pictures stored in iPhoto via Aperture. I was able to do this with the previous version of Aperture. The pictures are stored in iPhoto but I cant locate them via Aperture..........hope that makes sense??
Can someone please point me in the right direction?? I have tried to import pictures from iPhoto and I have tried to access my pictures via Aperture but with no luck!!
Many thanks in advance,
Justin

The iPhoto Browser is no longer available in Aperture 3.4.5, if that is what you have been using.
Now Aperture and iPhoto are using the same library format, and you could simply open your iPhoto libraries in Aperture. Only this requires, that you update iPhoto as well to the most recent version 9.4.3. Then open your iPhoto libraries at least once in iPhoto 9.4.3 to convert them to the new format, and Aperture can open them as Aperture libraries.
See: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
If you want to consolidate your iPhoto Libraries and your Aperrture library into one library, to be used with both iPhoto and Aperture, you can import your iPhoto libraries into your current Aperture library.
See: Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries

Import problem II (cannot import anything)

HI,
Since upgrade FCPX 10.2 yesterday, I cannot import anything from my Camera or from my SD Card. The media import window seem to work but when I hit the «Import» button, nothing happen.
I can see and play my clip in the Import windows.
I can drag and drop thing from the finder but my movie from my Sony NXCAM AVCHD cannot be drag and drop.
I'll try to import my media from Sony «software tools»... but i prefer work with FCP.
I tried in a new project, in new event and in a new library but nothing work.
Thanks for your help !
Mathieu
MacPro 2x2.8, 32GB,
OS 10.10.3,
FCPX 10.2

Yes, my window is active. I can browse in it, play the clip and change settings . My 1st screen shot is odd because I used «Grab» to capture the window. My active application was Grab instead FCPX... There is the good one.
I did trash prefs and repair permissions.
Thanks

Error message when importing photos from iPhoto

I have been trying to import pictures from iPhoto and when I try to set the duration to about 7 seconds with 240 photos, it says
ERROR DURING IMPORT
The file could not be imported: There is not enough disk space left to import Macintosh HD/Users/........../Pictures/iPhoto Library/2005/07/11/030_30.JPG
Is there anyway I can import all of these files with a duration of around 7 seconds?

Hi Seth:
Welcome to the forum!
You might want to run a disk and permissions repair to find that extra space.

Import Photos from IPhoto into 3rd party Photo Book Maker?

Using BookSmart from Blurb, to make a photo book, this a GREAT piece of software BTW, I need to import photos from IPhoto and can't seem to see how do it? Not sure I even can. Any help??

Assuming the program has an Import option that brings up an Open/Save/Attach file browser window, look in the left hand sidebar for Photos, under the Media heading at the bottom. It will show you your iPhoto library. Probably easiest if you first create an album in iPhoto for the photos you think you are likely to use.
Alternatively, browse the Blurb site for an FAQ and find:
http://blurb.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/blurb.cfg/php/enduser/stdadp.php?p_faqid=74&p_sid=44cbAnHj&purl=
How do I use iPhoto pictures with BookSmart?
To view JPGs and PNGs that are stored in iPhoto, click the My iPhoto Images bar in the left content column of BookSmart. Choose which album you’d like to view via the dropdown menu, and then drag and drop the images into your book. BookSmart will only make copies of images you actually drag (or autoflow) to pages of your book.

I cannot move pictures from iphoto to the desktop

I have a MacBookPro.
I cannot take pictures from iphoto and then drag them somewhere else, whether its on the desktop, in a folder or on a usb key: they do not want to more out of iphoto.
I have tried to put my computer to sleep and wake it up: it doesnt work.
I have tried to 'export' the photographs: it doesnt work.
I cannot afford to loose any of these photographs therefore reseting my iphoto is not an option.
help please!
Thank You

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) 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?

I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
Please help! Thanks.

Geoff for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
A couple possibilities are that:
1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

RAW image import (problem in iphoto and aperture)

either the problem is me (my understanding of what I am trying to do) or something has gone awry with both aperture and iphoto...
when importing RAW images (canon 40d camera) many of which are shot in monochrome and show up as such on the camera (they even show up in b/w on the preview import in iphoto and aperture) ALL images once imported to both iphoto and aperture are in full color. This was not the case on two previous imports (shots taken in b/w RAW imported as b/w RAW images) but now seems to happen every time. I have restarted computed, reimported, checked all settings and nothing is working.
I am missing something, yes? Thanks for any help.

no ... you will have to export it as a .tiff or .jpeg ...
and then import into aperture ...
although aperture does have a great monochrome tool worth checking out ...
something to consider is to shoot your monochromes in RAW+JPG and import into aperture ...
see here for working with RAW+JPG:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=380111&tstart=0
when stacked you will have the B&W from in camera and the colour RAW file ... tweak the monochrome mixer until the RAW is to your liking ... you can use the B&W JPG for a baseline ...
