Aperture cannot import iPhone 3G screen captures

I have no problem importing regular pictures from the iPhone camera roll into Aperture. All software is the latest version. However I cannot import screen captures from the iPhone. In Aperture's import window, there is a dotted line in a square shape outlining where the screenshot should be, but no image appears and the box can't be selected.

Actually the box can be selected, but you won't be able to see it. I have the iPod touch and the operations are pretty much identical. Any images in that Saved Images folder on the touch or iPhone can be imported into an Aperture Library.
Bring them all in, then delete what you don't need. Then, on the iPhone, go into the folder and delete all of the images, otherwise the next time, they will all be available and, if imported, you will have duplicates.
I guess the way to think about it might be to imagine what a roll of film was like: we could not see the photos, but had a fair idea (on a single roll -- not a major shoot) what we had on there.

  • 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

  • Importing a QT Screen Capture to FCE 4.0

    I've just spent ages recording a video using both a camera (pointed at me) and doing screen capture (using the new QT that came with SL) at the same time. I wanted to edit them together but I can't get the QT screen capture into FCE.
    Please don't tell me that FCE doesn't support those files. Is that correct?
    Quality isn't too important, so the only solution I can think of is to record the screen capture just by pointing my camera at the screen. Anyone got any other ideas. I need to do it quick sharp.

    That's correct. The screen capture uses the H.264 codec, which is a delivery format and not used in production. The material needs to be converted to the Apple Intermediate Codec. You can do this using FCE, the QuickTime 7 pro player, or MPEG Streamclip.

  • Any iPhone 3G screen capturing software avilable?

    NO! I dont mean capturing a still image! I mean I want to to be able to control and see the iPhone screen om my computer and record what I do as a video file. Like what you see on some iPhone training videos.
    thanx.

    cerealz - known issue when upgrading to 3.0.
    3.1.2 seems to have fixed it, but it wipes out wifi connectivity. See this thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2044754&tstart=0
    Over 1300 posts with same problem. I think I might have found a $.99 fix at another discussion board. (There are multiple discussions out there !!) See page 89 of above mentioned thread - see my post at end.

  • Cannot import iphone movies into lightroom 3

    I am unable to import movies made by an iphone 4s into Lightroom 3.6 running on a macbook pro (OS X 10.8.3). The still images are imported fine via the import function of Lightroom. The import page shows the movies, tries to import them but than hangs (even on very small files of80mb)
    With ImageCapture from Apple I am able to transfer the files form the iphone onto the macbook. So the problem lies not in transferring te files from the iphone. Importing the movies from the harddisk into lightroom doesn't work either. 
    Help would be greatly appreciated

  • Aperture cannot import iPhoto library

    I am unable to import iPhoto library into Aperture.  It complains that the iPhoto version is older than 7.1.5 and thus not supported.  However, I'm working with iPhoto version 9.4.3.
    Any clues how to address this - rather odd...  Just bought the software and have some urgent work to perform with it - so any quick helping advice would be great.

    Jens,
    which version of "Aperture Install Notes" are you referring to? Is your Aperture version the most recent donwload Aperture 3.4.5 from the AppStore? You need at least Aperture 3.3. to be able to share the libraries between iPhoto and Aperture and to use the iPhoto Library as your Aperture library.
    Now, should I re-install Aperture and wipe the "imported library" to make sure I have a clean sharing between iPhoto and Aperture or does it not matter?  I do not want to have double the copies
    It is not necessary to reinstall Aperture, if you want to start over with a new Aperture library. The Aperture Application and the Aperture libraries are completely independent. You can simply trash the current Aperture library (by default it is in your "Pictures" folder and called Aperture Library.aplibrary). Only make sure, that your original iPhoto Library still contains all your photos. When you imported to an earlier version of Aperture, you may have moved your originals from iPhoto to Aperture. That is why I am concerned about your Aperture version.

  • Error Message When Importing Quicktime Screen Capture to FCE

    As I said in the subject I'm having issues importing a Quicktime Screen Capture into Final Cut Express. I keep getting this message.
    File Error: 1 file(s) recognized, 0 access denied, 1 unknown
    I figure it has to be a quick fix for this simple problem. And it's probably just my first time.
    Thanking you in advance

    QuickTime Screen Recordings are H.264 video files. You need to convert this to +QuickTime Apple Intermediate Codec+ in order to use it in FCE. MPEG Streamclip (free) can do this for you.

  • No audio on screen capture

    has it been resolved yet why there is no sound when you use screen capture? i wanted to take some youtube videos and put them together, but i also want the sound.

    I can't help but wonder why they even botherd making the video recording software if they diidn't include audio .
    I tend to consider such features add-ons because to appeal to novice users because the features are incomplete as far as functonality is concerned or too dependent on the CPU power of the platform on which it is used. This is why I tend to use dedicated import and/or screen capture applications. Normally, I would recommend using an app like Snapz Pro X from Ambrosia ($69) but they too are having problems updating or replacing their audio "kernel extension" following system audio changes made in the Lion OS release. ScreenFlow ($99) is another good screen capture app but it includes a number of editing features that many users do not want or for which they are not willing to pay such a high price. I personally amd looking at what, for me, is a new app listed in an article URL posted by QTKirk. The app is called Screenflick and lists for $29. I am interested in it because they claim you can tap into user events like key presses (e.g., use of keyboart shortcuts) and highlight/include them in your captures. (I.e., this would be very handy for the makie of "quickie" tutorials.) In any event, I have not tried this app so I can't yet recommend it based on personal use... but it might be worthing looking at if you plan to purchase such a utility. (And yes, it does claim to support the audio capture of both system audio and/or a user selectable mic source.)

  • Fuzzy screen capture in FCPX

    Hello. I imported a QuickTime screen capture into FCPX, and the playback is fuzzy. Why? Is something wrong with the file, or just the playback?

    Russ and Tom, thanks for your replies. The file looks very crisp when played with QT. When I click Get Info, I see 1780 x 1080, H.264, 34.2 MB.

  • Cannot import .jpe photos from iPhoto to Aperture.  Help!

    I have just installed Aperture 2.1.2 trial version to explore if it will serve my purposes. However, when I tried to import my iPhoto library, approximately 2000 photos were said to be in an unsupported file format. It turns out that these are all the photos taken by my Konica Minolta 7D camera, which downloaded to iPhoto just fine as .jpe files (Minolta uses this file extension to indicate jpeg photos with embedded colour info--AdobeRGB in this instance).
    I am more than a bit taken aback that a file format that works fine in iPhoto appears to not work in Aperture.
    Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this? If Aperture cannot cope with my KM 7D images, than I guess the trial is over.
    Grateful for any help or advice from the community.
    Thanks!

    I'm not sure about reversing the process you've described, but you can set up the equivalent structure (make albums in place of your iPhoto events) and use iTunes to synch your iPhone to Aperture instead of iPhoto. If you've decided to do your main work in Aperture this would perhaps be the best way forward.

  • DVD Screen Captures Cannot Be Processed

    They can't be saved as a JPG - they just give a totally black blank image.
    They can't be resized or cropped.
    Enhance/Auto Levels does not work - blanks out the image.
    I want a screen capture in order to create a DVD label.
    I record a TV program on my DVR.
    Then I copy it to a DVD using my Panasonic DVD Recorder.
    I play it on my Windows XP PC using Windows Media Player.
    I pause it when the program's title is on the screen.
    I hit the [Print Screen] button.
    (ACDSee image capture does the same thing - that is, same problems.)
    I go into PhotoShop Elements 2 and select File/"New from Clipboard".
    The image does not behave like other images.
    I cannot save it as a Jpeg.
    I can save it as a PNG or GIF.
    I go into my SureThing CD Labeler Deluxe program.
    But I cannot resize or move around the image in order to get a good label.

    Ron,
    I get the same results from Media Player.
    Try importing from the DVD into Windows Movie Maker. Play it in the preview pane and pause where you want the picture. Click Tools, Take Picture from Preview. Save it and open in PE. The best I could get was 800 x 600.
    I tested this using a movie already on my hard drive but it should work.

  • Cannot import photos from iPhone 3GS

    For some mysterious reason I can no longer import photos or videos from my iPhone 3GS. I have iPhoto'09 (v. 8.0.4) on Mac OS X 10.5.7. Upon launching iPhoto my phone is recognized and the correct number of photos and videos is displayed, albeit without previews. Any attempt to import either photos or videos results in the error "The following file could not be imported. The file is in unrecognized format." (for photos) or "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." (for video files)
    Of course all photo and video files display just fine on my iPhone. The "Image capture" app is also unable to import anything - it goes through the motions of importing, but in the end nothing gets imported (but it does not display any error message.)
    I restarted both the computer and the phone a few times, no luck. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    I've managed to fix this.
    After 3 attempts, Image Capture (instead of iPhoto) was finally able to pull my photos/video off my iPhone. There were a few shots missing, I'm guessing those were the "corrupt" ones. No idea how or why I could end up with corrupt images, the only shots on my phone were ones that I'd taken with my phone.
    After that, I opened up Photos on my iPhone, selected every photo and every video and deleted them all.
    Then I took a couple shots with the phone, re-opened iPhoto, and everything seemed to work dandy.
    Still. Lame.

    Hello HaithamOkeely,
    We've an article that provides the following troubleshooting steps that may help stabilize your iPhone.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
