Aperture does not finalize import of new files

Since the latest upgrade of Aperture version 3.6 i have experienced that when trying to do an import either via connecting the camera or inserting the SD card directly in my iMac, that even though Aperture starts the import and doesn't finalize the it. This results in an incomplete import list, which is fairly useless.
Different tries also result in different amounts of pictures imported. Sometimes it imports the first 30 something it pre-loads the entire list of approx 2300 pictures, but only indicates the picture reference not the actual picture.

Have you tried to find out, if this import problem happens only with your current Aperture library?
Try to narrow down the problem:
Can you import successfully into a new Aperture library, created for testing?
Can you import successfully, if you are using a different card or a different card reader?
Can you import, if you are using Image Capture or iPhoto instead of Aperture?
Can you import from a different user account?

Aperture does not support SONY's new DSLR A100!!!

Just bought a SONY's new DSLR A100 and found Aperture does not read the camera's RAW file ( *.arw ). Is there any solution for this or I can only wait until Apple issue a software update for this?

The "format" will undoubtedly be the same or very similar: where the numbers representing each pixel are stored within the file, and where the metadata is kept. But what differs is the mapping of the number values to (I'm simplifying here a bit) actual colours. Different camera models from the same manufacturer have different sensors, and these output on different scales.
What Apple (and others) have to do is work out the ratios required for a given camera model, to get the right colours. Whilst you could probably edit the properties file yourself to make Aperture and MacOS recognise the file format, you'd have to do some work to decide the correct numbers (in some cases, you can use others work - there was an explanation on this forum previously about using DCraw source to determine good starting values for an Olympus camera.)
The DSLR-A100 has a different sensor from the 5D. There's another 4MP for starters. (Actually, I just had a glance at the latest DCraw code, and it looks like the A100 raw file is treated differently from other KM and Sony cameras. So perhaps they have got a new format.)

When using external editor, iPhoto does not re-import the .psd file

Hi,
I've just started using Photoshop Elements 6 as a more advanced editor in iPhoto. When I do the 'External Edits' wihtout adding layers etc. and re-save as a JPEG then the photo will re-appear in iPhoto as the edited file.
However if I do the external edit and add layers then save as a .PSD, then the file does not update.. I have to save the .PSD file in a desktop folder then import the file after.
Is there anyway to force iPhoto to pick up the .PSD automatically after an update if I save it to the iPhoto library?
Thanks,
Glyn

Glyn:
The folllowing might be of some help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you import a psd file initially then you can edit it via the external editor, with or without layers, and do a normal save and iPhoto will recognize the changes.

Illustrator CC(2014) does not open or create new file in Window 8.1 Pro

My illustrator can launch but once I tried to create a new file it would freeze and will not respond anymore.
I also tried to open existing illustrator files it just create a blank white illustrator window and does not respond afterwards as well.
I tried to reinstall the illustrator for times to fix to issue but it doesnt work.
All the other applications (photoshop/indesign...) work perfectly, but obviously there is a bug in illustrator...
Have any other people experienced similar issue and know how to fix it??

Did you uninstall then used the Cleaner tool before reinstalling?
Is a printer connected? Is the driver up to date? Printer turned on?
Do you have any third party plugins installed?
A graphic tablet?
Any other hardware?
Font management? Which one?
Have you already tried setting up a new user account (Admin) and launching from that one?

Interpretation Rules.txt does not effect import on specific files. Why?

Hello,
I'm working for a German broadcaster with numerous Adobe workstations. Unfortunately our Solutions Engineer from Adobe cound't support us. I hope you guys can help.
We are using "Interpretation Rules.txt" in After Effects for years. Now we want to do the same for Premiere Pro CS6 and Media Encoder CS6.
But sadly it doesn't work the same way. Some files were not interpreted in Premiere Pro. For example:
Avid Meridien Uncompressed (PAL, 720x576) should be 16:9.
I tried:
720, 576, 25, "MooV", "AVUI" = 64/45, U, *, *, *, * - not working
720, 576, 25, "MOoV", * = 64/45, U, *, *, * - not working
720, 576, *, *, * = 64/45, *, *, *, * - not working for these files
What is different between the interpretation in After Effects and Premiere Pro? What's the solution?
Are there interpretaion rules for Adobe Media Encoder?
Best regards
Christoph

I have the same problem. I also tried to change "Interpretation rules" without any effect :-(
All my PAL SD Widescreen footage was fimed with my Sony TRV-950E DV-cam and the correct Pixel Aspect Ratio for viewing this is the old PAR 1.42.
I need to add this option to the PAR dropdown list in "Interpret Footage". The only PAR avaliable for PAL D1/DV in that dropdownlist is the new value 1.45 (which unfortunately is not correct for my footage).
Anybody who knows how it can be done to use PAR 1.42 instead of 1.45?

Aperture does not import jpg:s from certain files.

After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro, Aperture does not import certain files with .jpg -photos. Earlier it has succeeded. Changing the photo location does not help. Nor importing as projects. Files are visible when asking to import but the thumbs are not seen on Aperture window.

, I see only the file, where these photos are, not the photo names or thumbs inside the file (Aperture import path).
You mean in the Aperture Import panel the folder, where the jpegs should be, is empty?
Then you may have excluded jpegs from import in your "Import Settings".
Check the above settings in the "Import Settings" options in the "Import Window". I.e-make sure the Raw+Jpeg Pairs option is set to "Both", even if you do not import raws.
After reassembled all the programs to a new hard drive in Mac Pro
Is this new Harddrive your system volume? And are the jpegs you wat to import located on this drive? Or are the on another external volume? If yes, how is this volume formatted?
Have you checked the permissions and ownership of the jpegs?

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the ST card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Aperture does not recognize that there are images to be imported on an SD card. My workaround is to copy the images from the SD card to a folder and then import the images from the folder. Aperture also imports incredibly slowly after the update to 3.4

Check your Import settings in the Import Panel, i.e. all that might exclude the image type you want to import:
If you did not exclude any file types, and still Aperture will not import, remove your ImageCapture preferences fro your user library:
To remove the image capture preferences:
If Aperture is running, quit Aperture, and log off and on again.
Open your user library from the Finder's Go menu: Hit Command Shift G (⌘⇧G) and then type in: ~/Library/Preferences/ then hit return.
In the window that opens remove "com.apple.ImageCapture.plist"
and look into the subfolder "ByHost": if there are files named com.apple.ImageCapture something .plist remove them too.
then try again.
And if that still does not help, remove the Aperture preferences as well:
~/Library/Preferences/aperture.plist
Regards
Léonie
P.S. in MacOS Lion and later the user library ~/Library is hidden by default.
You can reveal it also from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Finder > Go, then hold down the options ⌥ key, until the Library appears in the drop-down menu, select it and open the Library folder. Then go to the "Preferences".

MS 2.1 'Does not support importing files containing tempo changes' message

OK, so I've just loaded up the 2.1 upgrade and opened up a couple of existing concerts, and I get the following message:
+File contains tempo changes+
+One or more of the files you are importing contains tempo change markers. This version of mainstage does not support importing files with tempo changes.+
It's a bit of a problem as the dialogue box appears several times during loading, and I have to click 'OK' every time, which adds to the length of time it takes to load up the concert (something I do several times during the course of my set).
I'm not using any MIDI stuff, just acoustic and electric guitar plus vocal channel strips and playback channels.
I've tried out some of my backing tracks, which have a ralletando at the back end, and they still seem to slow down properly (which isn't surprising, as they are audio files), and I've also tried setting all the sets back to the concert tempo, which hasn't stopped the issue occurring.
Any thoughts, anyone?

Hi Blueberry
Well, if you mean I put a tempo curve at the end of some of my audio files in Logic, in order to slow down at the end of the song, then, yes, I did do that. However, that still works in MS2.1, and anyway, why would that no longer be allowed, as that is an essential musical function. Also, if the upgrade meant I had to re-do the exporting nearly 200 backing tracks, them I'm afraid it would be back to 2.01 for me.
Furthermore, I tried starting MS up in 32 bit, and that didn't make any difference either.
As it is, this problem is (so far) only an inconvenience as it takes longer for me to load a new concert. What I'd like to understand is what does it refer to? and how can I prevent it showing this message?
Thanks

Unable to upload files using firefox, be it dropbox, gmail or any other websites where we need to attach files. It does not open up a new window to choose file.

all of a sudden im unable to attach files in any of the websites. Im using firefox version 30 and when I click to attach file it does not open up a new window where we can choose the file from my computer. It happens almost in all websites that I use (gmail, dropbox, other websites).
This was not the case before, seem some problem with firefox.. can somebody fix this at the earliest. thanks

hello Balaatmozilla,
please check if this problem appears as well when you try to download a file, does this happen again when you try to download a file?
if so there must be a problem with your HDD controler, to solve this issue follow th steps:
1.Right Click on My Computer, Select Properties
2.Click on Device Manager in Top Left corner
3.expand the IDA/ATI/ATAPI controllers
4.right click on the one which is related to your HDD
5.click on Uninstall
6.Restart
when you restart your windows the OS will try to install the drivers again, if this happens then restart again and check if the problem is solved, if no try to install the HDD drivers and related drivers manually and then restart your machine

Aperture does not recognise TIF files from Nikon CoolScan

The TIF files from my Coolscan are good in every other application, but Aperture does not recognise them. I've tried re-saving the TIFs as JPG and PDS but Aperture doesn't recognise any file generated from the TIF. Maybe it's something to do with the scanner driver? Any ideas how to load these files into Aperture?

You might check the color space that is assigned to the files. If you are using Nikon Scan software to manage your CoolScan, there is a preference for setting the color space of the saved file. FWIW, Nikon CoolScan .nef files are a 'raw' file, not camera raw, that was/is a Nikon proprietary format for their scans. If you use the Nikon Scan for image editing, the edits are non-destructive in saved files and can be adjusted by re-opening the file in NS. Adobe first made editing camera raw available in early 2003 and the Nikon format preceded that. Nikon's camera raw format also has the .nef extension, but is not the same as the CoolScan .nef-- really confusing. I suggested checking the color space, because Nikon has different internal names for Adobe RGB(1988) as well as their own Wide Gamut space.
All said, I've not had a problem opening .tif scan files in Aperture.

Flash CS4 does not allow importing .tif files

Hello, anyone know why Flash CS4 does not allow import .tif a few days to date. I worked very well and now he tells me something of a Swift 3D importer, but have not installed or that or any other programs lately, I also have QuickTime.
The truth is very strange that no permits, hopefully someone knows of that is due. Need help, please.
Thanks

That's exactly what I'm doing (since using 1 Graphic Symbol instead of 2). In my current Flash work I have a bunch of Classic Tweens and those all worked. But when I try a Graphic Symbol that's a line of text, then it suddenly doesn't work (the timeline does change color with an arrow, but the text stays the same size with the exception of the second keyframe where it promptly turns into what's in that one). I even tried a random Classic Tween just now making a rectangle grow to make absolutely sure I wasn't doing something wrong, and that one worked immediately no problem.
And never mind that. Now it does work. I suppose I indeed did something wrong. Thank you very much for the help!
Say, one small question: does Adobe Flash have a function to properly set video clips after each other in one big video clip? Or do you have to manually count the frames and add the video clips at the proper frame yourself?

Image cannot be rendered because Aperture does not support image format

Dear all,
I have installed apple Aperture 3.03 and the complete Nick software plug-in selection:
• Dfine 2.0 for Aperture
• Color Efex Pro 3.0 Complete for Aperture
• Silver Efex Pro for Aperture
• Sharpener Pro 3.0 for Aperture
• Viveza 2 for Aperture
History
Until a few days ago the system was running ok / no notable issues on performance. / all pug in seem to run good / no issues. Also
• I Run OSX10.4/ Aperture 3.03 ( 32Bit mode)
• My library contains just over 10000 images / approximately 140GB
• I have recently updated the OSX software update including the security update 2010-005
• as well as the Snow leopard graphic update 1.0
• As far as I am aware all updates where automatically recommended by OSX Software update ( no manual intervention).
• As far as I remember after update the system still was running ok but honestly I can not tell you how many times the Nick Plug in started out of Aperture.
After all, Several times I continued using the system / still no noticeable problem until the following was happening:
Problem:
After creating with "PT gui" a panoramic image File type: "TIF" Pixel size: 5112 × 2556 (13,1 MP) I imputed this file in to Aperture (drag and drop). During the attempt to eddied this file with "Nick Define 2.0" the system was hamming up No response for several minutes from Dfine 2.0 / Aperture" At the end I had to "force quit" the applications.
After the consequential reopening of Aperture I tried again to eddied images with any Nick software Plug-In but each time Aperture prepares any image previously stored in my Library ti open the Pug in the following Error message appears:
*"This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support the image format"*
Currently non of my previously in the library safed images can be opened in a Nick software Plug-In this applies to all file types I have tied " Raw, tif, jpg"
• I am still able to eddied normally with Aperture ( so far I do not find any other issue)
• A newly imported Raw image after being taken with my EOS 5D can be edited in the completed Nick software Plug-In selection ( so far I do not find any other issue)
The following actions have been taken to overcome the issue (all not successful):
• I restored my Library out of my back Up ( to previous time of event ( no Time machine back up)
• Uninstallation of all Nick software Plug-In selection
• Uninstallation Aperture Reinstallation Aperture / Nick software Plug-In selection
• Repairing the library ( all three possibilities)
• installation of latest EOS utilitys
Questions
• Can you support me to overcome this issue?
• Have you heard similar issues of Nick user Running the Aperture plug-ins?
For me it is really strange that even after replacing the the library in my normally not connect back up the problem still exists (this should be not affected by the event as the back up was not done any more) / new imported images are editable with the Plug-In.
I would be happy if you could support me in this issue.
Best regards,
Matthias
PS: I have reported this issue to Apple (via Aperture feedback) as well as contacted the Nick software support and currently waiting for feedback.

Dear Ma-Le / All
I have just had the same problem
I use
• Aperture 3.03 with a iMac 2.8 Intel Core 2 Duo with all files on external hard disks (mac extended fomat as apple suggests) with referenced masters.
• Camera Nikon D300, with probably 75,000+ images on 2 hard drives
• Photoshop CS2 with PhotoTools 2.5 plugin
This has been working perfectly until yesterday when the system froze when I was using PhotoTools 2.5 with Photoshop CS2 - as a result of which I resorted to a force quit.
Since then on most of my files it has not been possible to use an external editor.
A message appears saying: *Editing Error - This image cannot be rendered for editing because Aperture does not support image format*.
The problem seems to apply to the attempted use of any external editor (including Noise Ninja)
The following have each been tried, all unsuccessfully:
- Using each of Aperture's library 3 first aid options
- Rebuilding directory using Diskwarrior
- Checking for virus using Virus Barrier X4
- Defragmenting library hard disk using TechTool pro
- Changing permissions settings
- Using Disk Utility first aid to repair permissions and checking main disk
- Removing some plist elements when open 'show package contents' of library
- Setting up a(n almost clean) new system, with newly loaded version of Aperture, with a new library from a vault saved prior to the crash when the problem first occured
Several things seem to me to be totally bizarre:
1 - The problem is the same on the other library hard disk which was not in use at the time
2 - The problem still occurs when a back up vault saved prior to this problem is loaded - using a new hard disk with a new system and a newly reloaded and upgraded Aperture software
3- The problem seems inconsistent. It appears to affect some photos but not all. Even from the same shoot, some photos can be edited using an external editor, whilst others cannot (but as far as i can tell most of the photos in a particular album seem to be consistently affected)
4- The only way around it seems to be if I import a new (copy image) from the original master. Then everything works ok, and I can successfully edit that copy image in photoshop / phototools plug-in.
I am beginning to wonder whether what has been corrupted is Aperture's ability to make copies from the master file which it then uses with the external editor (I have no real idea whether this is correct)
Does anyone have any ideas or solutions - or has anyone else been suffering a similar problem?
Eric
PS: As a professional photographer this problem is a really serious issue for me - and I really don't really want to go to Lightroom or Capture One

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I updated

How do I get my videos to upload from my sony handy cam when I get the message The following file could not be imported. The file is in an unrecognized format. I am using a macbook pro version 10.9.3, I have 411 gb free space, it worked before I downloaded the latest update for iphoto.

You may be able to download and install the update from here: Digital Camera RAW Compatibility 6.01
If I upgrade to Yosemite will I be forced to go to the new Photos program
No. After upgrading (and of course make a back up first) you will need to update iPhoto to v9.6.1 (you won't be able to do this prior to upgrading). Here's how:
Go to the App Store and check out the Purchases List. If iPhoto is there then it will be v9.6.1
If it is there, then drag your existing iPhoto app (not the library, just the app) to the trash
Install the App from the App Store.
Sometimes iPhoto is not visible on the Purchases List. it may be hidden. See this article for details on how to unhide it.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4928
One question often asked: Will I lose my Photos if I reinstall?
iPhoto the application and the iPhoto Library are two different parts of the iPhoto programme. So, reinstalling the app should not affect the Library. BUT you should always have a back up before doing this kind of work. Always.
Photos is v1 of a new app, as yes it's not as mature as iPhoto. It uses a different technology for working with external editors. That requires Adobe to write an extension to let it hook into the new app. Not done yet, neither has anyone else.
Going forward: iPhoto will run on OS 10.10., but there is no guarantee for subsequent versions of the OS. You might want to factor that into your anger term thinking.

Edna's #1 rule for Java Newbies... Never
ever use an IDE
Now you have introduced a new variable to the problem.
Assuming com.bruceeckel is in some jar file called
bruce.jar (I like that), just add the the following
to you class path
<path to bruce.jar>/bruce.jarI take it that you are working through Bruce Eckel's Thinking in Java book ( or online )... I checked it out myself not to long ago, and following the instructions, found that I had to do somethings prior to using his code samples and exercises...
One is to download his source code at http://mindview.net/Books/TIJ/#SourceCode
Two, when you read the page, it tell you that you need to compile the downloaded source code to run the examples in the book... follow the directions given in the above link...
Once its all compiled, then it will be ready for use, well after you set the classpath as per instructions...
and leave the IDE alone for now, once you get a better understanding of Java, then you can take the time to learn how to use the IDE, but for now, it will probable just confuse you more... But that only my opinion...
Any way, download, compile, set the classpath and your on your way...
