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 Import Videos using IMPORT FOLDER AS PROJECTS

SOLVED - Aperture 3.2.1 does not import videos using "Import Folder as Project"
After 2 days of trying to figure this out (actually around 2 hours total) I've finally managed to import all my photos & videos last year. 200 Gigs 54,000 files. First few tries resulted with referenced photos only, no videos. I had no luck with Google, even tried moving a couple of .plist as mentioned from this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/11188017?messageID=11188017#11188017 - this worked for some but not for me. Some issues were solved by NOT selecting "Raw Only", this will cause Aperture to skip your videos.
Thank you to these people who took time to share. In return I am posting my micro contribution to the Aperture Community. FILE > SWITCH TO LIBRARY > then create a new library. You should be able to import your photos with videos in folders.
I hope this gets into Google soon. :-)

Iphoto does not import all items from camera

I have been importing photos into Iphoto from my canon SD300. I have noticed that on occaissions it has skipped a few files while importing. In particular it has skipped movie clips. When the camera is connected Iphoto says it is ready to import and tells you the number of images and movie clips, and it recognizes all of them. However, once the import function is over on the last occaision I noticed that two clips and one image was not imported. I manage to get the missed image/clips by inserting the memeroy card in a card reader and dragging the missed image/movie clips into Iphoto.
I would appreciate if any one knows why Iphoto does not import all the items from the camera even though it recognizes that they exist and how I should fix this problem.
Thanks.

Hi imac2,
I don't know why iPhoto skips some of your files. I can tell you that I use Image Capture to download my images and video clips. My video clips from my Canon can get quite large (over 1010 mg). iPhoto can import smaller clips that digital camera made, but now a lot of the newer camera can create very large video clips and I don't think iPhoto can handle importing them.
Once I download my images and video clips I put them in dated folders. This makes it much easier to back up the video clips and images. I then import the folders of images into iPhoto. I like having more control.

Photoshop Elements 10 not importing GPS data from xmp file

PSE 10 is not importing GPS information from the xmp file. Lightroom correctly records the
GPS data but this info in not brought in when I add the photo to the PSE 10 catalog. Has anyone experienced
the same problem?

The Google map module and geotagging have only just been added to LR4, released this week. There is no longer a map feature in Elements since Adobe dropped the earlier tie-up with Yahoo. Adobe reserves the right to change and amend partner services and this has disappointed many users of previous versions of PSE. It’s possible that the map could be re-introduced into future versions of PSE but don’t count on it and given the significant price cut on LR4, the decision could be strategic.

Aperture does not import Nikon JPG files when RAW and JPG

I own a Nikon D2x that I download files to a Sony 40GB portable HD. When I shoot in RAW + JPG only the RAW file is imported when I connect the Sony HD to my Mac and import to Aperture.
If I open the Sony disk Icon on the Desktop, I can see both the RAW and the JPG. In fact I can finder copy both files to the Desktop with no problem.
Even when I connect the camera itself, the jpg files are not imported.
This makes me think I should just shoot in RAW and save the space on the memory card.
Why does Aperture not import the JPG files?

it does import them ... but only displays the RAW file ... if you drill down into the library package you will see them ...
here are threads dealiing with same issue ...

Aperture 2 not importing .nef images from scanner... works in LR2 though.

Hi,
I have been looking at Aperture 2 and Lightroom 2 recently to see which one I'd like to use long term. I generally feel more comfortable with Aperture and it's controls (the sliding scale controls vs increase/decrease buttons) and Aperture's auto grouping of master and adjusted virtual copies but while Lightroom imports the range of image types I have, Aperture refuses to display the .nef images I have from negative scans. I can see the thumbnail but the preview is the "Unsupported Image Format" box. I have Camera RAW 5.2 installed on the computer and Photoshop CS3, which also can't open my .nef files.
As background, I have a Powermac G5 dual 2.5GHz with 3.5GB ram running OSX (10.5.6). I'm scanning from a Nikon Super Coolscan 4000ED using Nikon Scan 4 at full resolution (4000dpi) to 14 bit .nef format raw files (~130MB/image). The Aperture version is 2.1.2
I can't figure out weather it's something with Aperture or something with my system, considering lack of PS support (even after swapping in the latest Camera Raw plugin into the System Library).
Anyone have any thoughts? I'd like to be able to get this sorted before I have to make a definitive choice.
Thanks

@MacDLS-
It was really either 16-bit Nef or Tiff and it was a legacy decision that I've just lived with. I get that there are differences between a Camera Nef and a Scanner Nef as the camera imprints metadata in there that is irrelevant in the case of the scans and that the Scanner is recording R, G and B data for each pixel but whatever. I gathered that if I used Tiff, my saves would be permanent, similar to jpeg, whereas Nef is Raw-like in the sense that I can reverse adjustments to the master, which is more appealing than duplicating every Tiff for a mater copy and an adjustment copy (+ other adjustment copies). But I could easily be misguided, I'm no pro.
Another consideration was that many of these scans are unlikely to see future rescans, so it's not like I am of the mindset that I will just be rescanning stuff with the next super-scanner of the future down the line. These are the archival digital negatives as far as I'm concerned.
As far as being only useful in Nikon software, they do work fine in Lightroom 2 and...
I realized CameraRaw version 5.XX is CS4 specific and was the limiting factor for Photoshop. I reverted to the CameraRaw 4.6 plugin and everything was gravy as far as Photoshop... still no luck with Aperture 2 though.
So Nikon Scanned Nef files, go for Adobe software, no go for Aperture... unless I'm 'doing it wrong' ???

Aperture does not import all files in folder.

I have a folder with 3460 images. They are a combination of NEF, TIF, and PSD and xmp files.
When it was finished importing it said it had imported the 3460 images; however, there are only 3278 images showing.
I tried starting a new library, and importing the same folder again. Again, I got 3278 images.
If I use the Finder and go to the folder, it shows 3496 files; however, 36 of those are .xmp files.
Any idea how I can check to see which files are not importing? Or what I can do to get these 182 files in Aperture?
Many thanks for any help.

Could be just chasing a ghost, but at least we'll know we don't have to capture it. Let's do two things to determine how many Images Aperture thinks are in the Library.
1.)
Select the container "Photos" listed near the top of the Library Inspector.
Clear the filter. (In Browser view, click the magnifying glass icon _inside_ the search field, and select "Show all" from the dropdown menu.)
Deselect all. ("Edit ▹ Deselect All".)
Expand all Stacks. ("Stacks ▹ Open all Stacks".)
What does Aperture report in the bottom border of the Browser? Should be something like "1234 items displayed".
2.)
Close Aperture.
"{option}+{click}" the Aperture Dock icon. (Hold {option} down until the dialog shows up.)
Select your Library from the list.
What does Aperture report below the list of Libraries (you may have only one Library in the list)? Should be something like "1234 versions, 1234 originals".

Aperture does not import iPhoto movie Title and Description?

I recently imported a 16,000 image iPhoto Library to Aperture including 270 movies.
There were some problems with the import. An older camera's movies cannot be shown in Aperture and lack thumbnails -- though they can play (for now) externally in QuickTime player. Many other movies lacked thumbnails, but Aperture added them with the Generate Thumbnail command.
These are annoying glitches, but I had a more serious problem with Aperture's iPhoto import of Movies. None of the Titles or Descriptions were imported into Aperture.
Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks! I've thought about this a bit more, and what the bug is.
I think it's an oddly simple bug -- maybe a hurried hack as Aperture 3.x was going to market and the responsible engineers discovered they were missing a key feature. They may have "stolen" the "set Version Name to Master Filename" function and, for iPhoto import, quietly made it "set Version Name to iPhoto Title" -- without revising their documentation or the UI.
Here's what I wrote up on my blog. I'll try to file a bug report against Aperture on this. I'll mark this post as answering my question
http://tech.kateva.org/2012/03/iphoto-8-to-aperture-3-migration-notes.html
Aperture handling of iPhoto Title data depends, mysteriously, on the iPhoto Version Name import setting that Apple documents as: "... choose Master Filename from the Version Name pop-up menu to have your files stored using the current master filenames from your camera or card". (Since we're importing from iPhoto, and not a camera or card, this documentation is misleading.)
In reality, during iPhoto import, setting Version Name = Master Filename does nothing of the sort. Instead, this is what happens:
The filename is equal to the filename used in iPhoto
Aperture.Version name is set equal to the iPhoto Title.
I don't know what Aperture would do if we set Version Name = a Custom name where one of the custom name components was "Master Filename". Would it still treat iPhoto.Title as "Master Filename"?
I think there are two bugs here. I think Aperture "Version Name=Master Filename" was supposed to set Aperture.Version to the file name, and that there was supposed to be ANOTHER drop down (and a custom name tag) that of the form "Version Name=iPhoto Title"

Aperture does not import Aperture library

I am trying to import several Aperture Libraries created in Aperture on one computer (MacBook Pro) into an existing "Main" Library on a second computer (iMac). After being created on the MacBook Pro, the Libraries are Finder-copied to the iMac's desktop.
When I choose File->Import->Library ... then select a Library on my desktop to import into the opened Aperture Library, a progress window opens and it looks like all is well. Unfortunatly, it is not well as when the import is done, the pictures do not show up anywhere.
I have tried to use the menu method (above) and I have tried to drag Libraries to the "Projects" area in the side-bar hoping a new Project would be created with the imported Library pictures in it. Either way there is a progress window that opens and it looks like the library has been imported. If I have the Projects Viewer opened, it even looks like something happens as the thumbnails jump somewhat. Here again, no pictures are imported or no new Projet created with the library pictures in it.
When I check the total number of pictures in the main Library, the number has not changed from before the import. No new Projects are created, either.
I know there may be an issue with duplicates, but I have purposely imported a Library that I know are not duplicates and these are not imported either.
Thanks for any help here.
Aperture 3.5.1

When I choose File->Import->Library ... then select a Library on my desktop to import into the opened Aperture Library, a progress window opens and it looks like all is well. Unfortunatly, it is not well as when the import is done, the pictures do not show up anywhere.
In some situations the import of libraries will not work, for example, if the library to be imported is an older version of the same library you are attempting to import it to. In that case it often will help, to create a new library from the library to be imported (to fool Aperture), by creating a new, empty library and importing the second library into the new library.
Now try again to import the new, converted library into your main library.
Also it will help, to repair all libraries before trying to merge them. (Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual)

Lightroom does not import my images from 70d camera sd card when there is video on it

I am attempting to import images into Lightroom 5 from a wedding that was shot on a 70d canon camera and recorded to an sd memory card. There are also two short videos (less than 2 minutes each) on the card. Lightroom acts as if it is importing with the progress bar showing but it just hangs there and nothing gets imported. I even tried unchecking the two videos but still nothing. I had no trouble importing images when I didn't have any videos on the card.

I have the very same problem. I only noticed it in LR 5.4/5.5. If there are any videos on the card, then Lightroom is unable to see or import any of the RAW files on it. I currently have to import the videos, disconnect the camera, delete the video files, and reattach it before Lightroom can see the CR2 files. This was not an issue in Lightroom 5.2/5.3 as far as I know. I have not changed SD cards or anything else other than upgrading to Lightroom 5.4 (and later 5.5 when I found the problem). Any help is appreciated.

SUDDENLY I PHOTO 6.0.6 DOES NOT IMPORT MY MOVIES FROM CANON SD 450.

Suddenly I have a problem importing the movies taken by my canon sd 450 into iPhoto 6.0.06. I don't remember if I had imported any others after updating iPhoto, but I have never had this problem before. I tried using Image Capture to bring in the AVI's, but they imported, but iPhoto would not import them, and Quicktime could not open them, saying that Quicktime could not "parse" the movie.
Any help?

Some things to try
1. Check that you have the latest version of Quicktime - it's 7.1.5
2. Check the Canon site for updated drivers for your Camera
3. Try installing Perian

IPhoto does not import rotated images from camera

I plugged in my CF card to a reader and first looked at all my photos. Those that needed rotation I fixed with preview. Then when I opened iPhoto, it didn't recognize any of their file formats. Is there a good workaround?

I would not mess with them on the card - use image capture to bring them to the Mac disk and then rotate the ones needing rotation (and rename, etc) and then import to iPhoto

ProxySelector does not pull proxy settings from configuration file?

Hi everyone,
I try to use class ProxySelector to find proxy settings on Windows XP. When a proxy server URL and port is set explicitly in the "Internet Options" control panel, this proxy setting is detected by class ProxySelector - no problem.
When a proxy configuration file is set in the control panel, class ProxySelector returns no proxy setting (i.e. DIRECT) - PROBLEM
(yes, the configuration file works otherwise, i.e. the proxy is pulled when using Firefox or Internet Explorer
and yes, the proxy works too, i.e. when using the proxy url and port directly, HTTP can be used in Java too).
Does anyone have a hint on how to find out the proxy server url and port to use for HTTP out of Java, when the proxy is set through a configuration file as described above?
Thanks a lot for any help
Ulrich

Hi again,
I found a solution in the mean time: ProxySelector does return the local "browser settings" for a proxy server (i.e. proxy type and address) when an application is started with Java Web Start. When started with Java Web Start, a correct proxy type and address is also returned, when a ".pac" file is set in the browser settings.
So, when an application needs to determine a proxy configuration, although it might be started locally one needs to create a JNLP file and launch respective application (locally) using Java Web Start.

Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still, like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
i had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and physicaly on the desk.
i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about 9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos. copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
Thanks

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.)
