Aperture does not recognize a vault

I have been assembling all my pictures in Aperture and then had to re install the program due to a repair when my disk was wiped. The re install went Ok and Aperture opens but does not recognize a vault I created on an external drive, where all the pictures are stored. How can I get to my pictures?
Thanks in advance

If you renamed your drive after it was wiped out, Aperture will not recognize the vault and will give you a message saying that it isn't a valid vault. This happened to me when I decided to rename an external drive on which I had a vault. I had to rename the drive back to its original name in order for Aperture 3 to recognize the vault. I sent a bug report to Apple on this and asked if this means I have to create new vaults every time I decide to rename a drive.

  • 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".

  • Aperture does not recognize camera card.

    Aperture does not see camera card iin card reader connected to a USB port, although I can see the card both in iPhoto and with Finder.  When I plug it in it shows very briefly in Aperture and then dissapears. This is something new as I have used the software, card and card reader for a couple years and had no porblems.  Aperture sees all the other components of the system, including external drives, but only briefly (1 second) the card reader.

    Hello John,
    If after reformatting the card you still have problems to see your camera in in Aperture you may have a problem with the "Preferences" file.
         Remove the file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" from the "Preferences" folder in your User Library, as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805; don't delete the file, just remove it to the Desktop, so you can put it back, if it does not help, for after removing the Preference file all settings will be reset to their default setting.
    Léonie
    P.S. How do you delete the images from the card, if you do not format the card to erase them? It is not save to let any imaging software on your computer do that, that may corrupt the file system on the card. Your camera knows best how to delete the images.

  • Aperture does not recognize all photos on sd card

    I have a weird issue with Aperture. When I took the SD card out of my Nikon D3100 and put it in my MacBook Pro it only recognized the pictures I took a couple weeks ago. I took a series of photos and video last night and my childs christmas program and they will not show up in Aperture. The weird thing is that iPhoto will see them fine. I tried manually copying the pictures to a folder on my computer then tried to import from that folder but they still will not appear then either. As far as I can tell the pictures are not corrupted and I can open them in iPhoto, Preview and even Image Capture sees them. When I get info all the meta data appears. I did not shoot them RAW either which I have had no problem in the past importing anyway. These where all taken with the normal jpeg option at the full 14.2mp.
    I made sure my Aperture is fully updated too. Any suggestions on how to get Aperture to recognize these pictures?

    Nevermind, I just spoke with my wife who imported the pictures last night just from that event. She did not delete them after importing either. I guess next time this happens I will uncheck the box that says "Do not import duplicates" to troubleshoot.

  • Aperture does not recognize files on SD card after Yosemite

    After Yosemite upgrade, Aperture cannot see/import files (both RAW and JPEG) on the SD card (using SD card reader plugged into a USB port).
    I know for sure the files are there as I can see them using other devices and using Finder on the same iMAC.
    The iMAC (year 2008, 4G RAM)itself is also running slowly with lots of spinning beach ball all the time.

    Does Aperture not show the card in the Import panel, or only no photos on the card?
    Have you checked all Import Settings in the Import panel, that could exclude photos? i.e. "Do not import Duplicates", "File Types", "Only include ...", RAW&Jpeg Pairs?

  • Aperture does not recognize Internet connection with SmugMug

    When I try to add an account for SmugMug, the Accounts dialog box shows, "Your computer is not connected to the Internet. Aperture needs an Internet connection to login to SmugMug."
    I added a Flickr account with no problems. How can I get Aperture to recognize that I have an Internet connection for SmugMug?

    ** Workaround **
    The problem appears to be with some routers in the network -- for example my Netgear R6300. When I hooked my iMac (running Mavericks) directly to the cable modem with an Ethernet cable, Aperture was able to authenticate with the SmugMug service (using Safari). The Apple Professional Applications technician suggested trying that, and it worked.
    After replacing the original network configuration, where the iMac is connected through the Netgear router, Aperture maintained the SmugMug shared service, and I was able to upload and download photos with SmugMug.
    Confirmed that this insane workaround did work. ***, Apple and/or SmugMug? This should be fixed. It doesn't jive with Apple's "ease of use" software mantras.
    BTW -- I have a Netgear WNDR4500 v1 in between the world and my Mac.

  • Swapped hard drives, but now Aperture does not recognize library file

    I just swapped out my MBP hard drive for a larger one. I used SuperDuper to restore the small HD to the new, larger one from a third Firewire disk.
    Everything else is working fine, except that Aperture says that "The selected master image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again." every time I try to do anything meaningful with any file in my library.
    I have:
    -Repaired permissions on the new HD with Disk Utility
    -Tried several times moving the library file around to various places, telling Aperture where to find it each time, and restarting Aperture. Aperture finds the images okay, but I can't really do anything with them, as I get the above error message.
    -Renamed my new HD, going through the Aperture Prefs, and re-specifying where the library lives, and then repeating the process with the HD named yet again.
    Nothing seems to work for me. What else can I try?

    1. Are you using referenced or managed Masters?
    2. If using referenced Masters, have you tried reconnecting them via File>Manage Referenced Files...? What happens if you right-click on a thumbnails and pick 'Show in Finder'?
    3. If using managed Masters, have you done a Spotlight search inside the Library package (right-click on it in the Finder and choose 'Show Package Contents') to see if the master files are still in there?
    Moving the Library and/or renaming drives isn't going to help without finding out exactly where Aperture thinks the files should be.

  • TS2518 I have Aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8. Aperture does not show focus points on my Nikon D7100, nor does it recognize the RAW files. Will upgrading Aperture allow me to see the focus points and RAW files again? Also, do I need to upgrade my os f

    I have aperture 3.1.2 running on os 10.6.8 mac book pro. Lost some features in aperature when I upgraded my camera (no longer shows focus points, does not recognize RAW files) Would like to upgrade to aperture 3.5, but do not want to loose any pictures in my extensive library. Do I have to upgrade one vesion at a time, or can I jump? I believe I also need to upgrade my os, but not sure which to do first?  Any help would be appreciated...

    1. Can I get Icloud without having to upgrade to OS Lion?
    Nope, you need 10.7.
    2. If I upgrade to OS Lion, does this automatically put me onto ICloud
    No, you set that up yourself.
    3. I have three mobile me email addresses. One for myself, one for my wife and one I use for my business. What happens to these.
    You can convert them to be used in iCloud.
    4. My wife and I also use mobile me to sync our calendars across an Ipad (original) and two Iphones (3Gs). Both Iphones and Ipad are still currently using IOS4, and I am reluctant to upgrade this to IOS 5 as I have heard some horror stories. If I fail to upgrade to IOS 5, will this create confusion with my Apple ID's. (There already is a lot of confusion with these- Apple appear to not have down their homework)
    If you don't change the settings you have now, I'm sure it will stay working.  I believe Apple is phasing out MobileMe and you'd be forced to upgrade eventually.
    5. Will Icloud allow me to transfer my Icalendar across seamlessly? This is Ical 4.04 whic came with my Imac. Does this get upgraded if I update to Lion?
    Yes, it will get upgraded.  I have my calendar on Lion and my iPhone 5.0.1 working seamlessly at the moment.  That doesn't mean you won't have problems because with new technology that can be expected.  Make sure you do a back up if you're worried about losing data.

  • When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    When I choose external editor in iPhoto on my iMac it does not recognize Aperture. When I do the same on my laptop it works? Any ideas?

    No idea, but Aperture is not an external editor. Like iPhoto, Aperture is a Photo Manager. It's a database. There is no way to round trip a shot from iPhoto to Aperture and back again like you can with Photshop or an image editor.
    Given that Aperture does pretty much everything that iPhoto does - and a whole lot more -  it begs the question: why not just use it to manage your photos?

    I am trying to copy photos from an iPad to a Mac Air, but iPhoto does not recognize them. Please forgive the ignorance, but we have just started moving to apple products and I know nothing about them. Do you have to use PhotoStream to do this?

    How did the photos that you want to copy off get on the iPad  ? To copy photos to your computer that were taken with the iPad, copied to it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites then see this page - on a Mac you should be able to use iPhoto, Aperture or Image Capture
    To copy photos that were originally synced from a computer you will need a third-party app on your iPad such as Simple Transfer which can copy them off via your wifi network. But as photos are 'optimised' when they are synced to the iPad, any that you then copy back to a computer may not be exactly the same as they originally were on your computer.

  • 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

  • Importer does not recognize already imported photos

    Hello,
    I have a really annoying problem with Aperture 3.0.3. The importer does not recognize already imported photos and wants to import them again and again. This is true for photos from my iPhoneand also for photos from my Nikon. If I enable "Do not import duplicates" then some photos vanish from the importer, when I the iPhone view is open. In the Nikon view not even one photo is recognized as already imported.
    Also very strange is that when I have the iPhone (iOS 4.1 installed) attached to the Mac, Aperture opens the importer automatically and shows all photos correctly - but strangely, both iMac CPUs are at 100% until I click either "Cancel" or "Start import" or I disconnect the iPhone.
    I tried the following without success:
    - Correct permissions on media library
    - Repair media library
    - Rebuild media library
    Imports from my iPhone last very long and seem to hang most of the time. I have to kill Aperture to make it work again all the time.
    To me, it looks like there is something really messed up at the base of this program.
    I have about 20000 files in my library - face recognition is not turned off - most of the preferences are at their default, I think. Did not play around very much.
    Does anybody know what to do? I don't want to lose all my Projects (sorted all pictures into their own projects). But I want to work with Aperture again. When its working, it's a great tool.
    Regards
    Alex

    I've had the same problem. For some things, like videos and photos on my iPhone, I've found as many as 5 copies of the images despite keeping the 'do not import duplicates' checked.
    I've also found a bug with the import function, where if I'm importing from folders on my hard drive, sometimes it finds no images at all (even if they don't exist in my library). Simply cancelling and going back into import and the miraculously appear (including images that have already been imported despite having 'do not import duplicates' checked.).
    I've been going through my library deleting all the duplicates, and managed to free about 10GB of space.
    Having moved from Lightroom the 'technical side' of Aperture seems very antiquated. For example, if I remove a duplicate video - then try clicking on that video in Aperture, it literally takes about 10-15 minutes of spinning disc before Aperture becomes responsive. It also often hangs up on the 'updating previews' when I quit.
    Such a shame aperture is so bad. I really like the functionality - eg. having my photos automatically sync with my Apple TV, but it seems to be absolutely full of bugs.

  • IPhoto does not recognize Tiff format

    I am trying to import my photos in TIFF ext however I get a response from iPhoto that it does not recognize the format.
    What I am doing wrong?
    thank You!

    Did this test in the begging, and it doies not give me the option to create a new library.... : /
    Then you're not holding the correct key or not holding it long enough while launching.
    But I could import all to Aperture and then from iPhoto import the pictures......however when in the iPhoto library they have been "converted" to JPEG file and lost all quality...the same picture in Aperture (TIFF) has 36MB   while in the iPhoto after I imported 684KB!!
    You need to understand how to use Aperture. You're getting the Aperture Previews, not the original files.

  • "Find my iPhone does not recognize New iPhone 5

    I use my AppleID to "Find my iPhone" successfully on iPhone 4, iPhone4S, iPad, iMac. All show up. New iPhone5 iOS 6.0.2 uses same AppleID in the General iCloud settings, Contacts,email,photostream,safari bookmarks,reminders,notes, are all synced fine. I can even see how much storage is available in my iCloud account on the new iPhone5.  The Problem is that "Find my iPhone" does not recognize the new iPhone 5. Yes location services is turned on. The iPhone5 can find its location in the map app, can find all other devices in "Find my iPhone" just not itself in "Find my iPhone" I tried a hard reset.
    ANY IDEAS?

    How about when the passcode is correct but not recognized?
    I was prompted to enter a password to unlock the device when I downloaded IOS 7 several months ago.
    Entered the password every single day for months, never a problem.
    Yesterday I attempted to download the most recent IOS version and I was asked for a passcode before I could do that (my phone was unlocked). Online I found out the passcode is the unlocking password. It did not work and I was unable to use the phone for several minutes after 5 attempts. I just stored the phone and when home I charged it overnight.
    This morning I unlocked the phone as usual  and used it without a problem for emails, phone calls. etc.. Now, after not having used it for a while, I am asked for the passcode to unlock it as usual, and although I am sure I entered the right code, it is not recognized. I am unable to unlock my phone, although I have done it for months.
    This is not a case of forgotten passcode! And I see it has happened to many others that use 4s and 5s iphones.
    i could attempt the iTune connection fix, but it troubles me that all solutions are presented for forgotten pascodes, and in many cases actually the passcodes are not recognized. Which means, it will keep happening unless Apple offers a solution.
