Aperture doesn't appear to write IPTC core correctly ?

Hi,
Having trouble getting some fields specifically written to Nikon NEF's and exported JPG versions of the same.
Specifically the Creator field and Copyright field do not correctly reflect what is entered in Aperture IPTC Core panel even after explicitly writing to masters via menu command. Everything else seems to work.
This is confirmed by Preview > Info Window > IPTC Tab and also Expression Media which doesn't seem to pick up any of the metadata.
Are there known bug's with NEF's - My camera is set to Embed the two suspect fields on capture and I'm wondering if even though I'm explicitly "Replacing" the metadata in the Batch Change command, somehow this is still not respected by Aperture ??
Is there a way to force Aperture to output XMP Sidecars ?
Any input welcome ?
Thanks

After a long while on the phone with Apple Tech Support, we finally figured out the solution. After deleting ALL my previews (control-click on your main library icon and choose delete all previews) the Aperture library structure shows up everywhere it is supposed to. Of course, generating new previews will give access to the images again...
Hope this helps.

Aperture doesn't appear in iWork's media browser or Mail's Photo Browser

I've just installed Aperture 2, and I realize that it doesn't appear in the following browsers:
- Media Browser in iWork'08
- Photo Browser in Mail
Also, in iTunes, I can select Aperture to sync photos from, but no album is displayed
Any idea what could be wrong ?
Thanks for your help.

Aperture opens Photoshop, but converted TIFF doesn't appear in PSA

Background: I cloned my 250GB boot drive to a 750, and the latter is now the OS drive.
All programs open and word, but when I open an Aperture file for editing in external editor (PS is chosen in prefs), the version is created in A, and PS is opened, but the file doesn't appear in PS.
Anyone had this experience?
Thanks

HT4028 Aperture IPTC Core Subject Code Exports Incorrectly to PhotoMechanic

Hello. When using IPTC core Subject Code in Aperture, what I type in exports incorrectly when read by PhotoMechanic Software. It seems to default back to previous Subject Code entries that are invisible on my end using Aperture, and can't be "erased". Anyone else having this problem, and please advise on how to fix this. I have contacted Apple tech support multiple times and they have been unable to resolve this problem.

Preview should be able to do this
In Preview you can see the field in the Inspector:
From Peview's main menu bar: Tools > Show Inspector.
Select the IPTC tab
I tested several images - when I set the IPTC Subject Code and exported the edited version as jpeg, the modification showed in Preview correctly in the IPTC Subject code field.
Tested in Aperture 3.5.1, MacOS X 10.9.1

Back-up / Retrieve Files from an external hard drive that doesn't appear in Devices

Someone please help!
I am going to write the "history" from my disk utility repair here so that other's who copy and paste into search may find it:
(PLEASE SCROLL 13 ROWS DOWN)
Verify and Repair volume “Your Hard Drive Name”
Checking Journaled HFS Plus volume.
Checking extents overflow file.

The volume could not be repaired.
Volume repair complete.Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.Error: Disk Utility can’t repair this disk. Back up as many of your files as possible, reformat the disk, and restore your backed-up files.
Ok. I would really love to reformat this disk, but I have stuff on here from film school that I CAN NOT lose
Question:
How would I go about backing-up the disk if the image doesn't appear under devices? I went to the "Restore" tab/button, but I can not choose the hard drive in the first field. I could have sworn my hard drive was formatted for Mac, but I may have formatted it back to FAT32. I know the disk still functions because when it is powered on, it cycles with/without being connected to my MacPro, but after that, it will only cycle if connected (confirming connection). It does run again when I connect the firewire cable. Here is my equipment:
8-Core MacPro 16GB-Mem RAID
MacOSX 10.6.8 | 2 X 1TB Internal HDD
Aug-2008 15" MacBookPro
(That I used the Maxtor-External with mostly)

I can fit the back-up on my 2nd HDD in my MacPro or in my other External:
2 TB G-Technology G-RAID External
1 x eSATA | 2 x FireWire 800 9-pin | 1 x USB 2.0
Self Powered DC-IN
I have had a nightmare searching for answers, so any options you might have would be tremendously helpful. I can't lose the data because I have everything I did during film school on there. That stuff is basically what you pay for when you go to film school, you pay to show what you can do and what equipment you have used. SAVE ME FELLOW APPLE PEOPLE!!!! We COMMAND, as well as CONTROL!

Get Disk Warrior that will repair the problems without requiring that you reformat the drive - $99.00 on a bootable CD. Will not work on a FAT formatted drive.
You will need to use Drag and Drop to save your files by copying them from the bad drive to a good one.
To reprep the drive:
Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Security button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.

Aperture doesn't open after clean installation of Mountain Lion

I have just done a clean installation of mountain lion.
After that, I have downloaded my copy of aperture from the store and installed it ( i think, just becase when done, at the store says that it is installed )
But when I try to launch aperture from de applications menu, an error appears and aperture quits immediatelly. The error says that, "an error has occurred. You should reinstall aperture or could be your operating system is not supported", more or less, translating it from the Spanish.
I have been searching for the installed files with finder, but nothing seems to be installed at the hard disk. Even the library that tipically appears at the Pictures folder doesn't appear.
Could somebody help me, please?
kind regards to everybody.

Many thanks for your answer.

Raw files (CR2) - Cannot modify IPTC Core fields, get error messages

I really hope someone out there can help me out here because I'm at my wit's end!!!!
I have a bunch of raw files in a folder, these are just pictures I took for a bit of general practice over Christmas.
Now, whilst trying to modify the IPTC Core Fields (basically adding my name and my email address to the pictures), it worked fine for most of the pictures, but for some reason it will not work for the last 20. This is driving me nuts. :(
The first picture which doesn't work was taken literally 2 seconds after the last one which does work. All pictures work perfectly well in Photoshop, I can open them, modify them, save them as jpgs... no problem. But it just won't let me change the metadata. The pencils on the IPTC Core fields are nowhere to be found, the option File>File Info appears greyed out... etc.
The error messages I get:
1. When clicking on any line of the IPTC Core Fields (such as "Creator") =
i "This property cannot be modified".
2. When clicking on the keywords tab and trying to enter keywords =
i "The file Name.CR2 cannot store XMP metadata. No changes will occur"
I have scoured the web for help, visited multiple forums... to no avail. It looks like other people are having the same problem but no-one seems to have a solution. I haven't done anything different to those 20 pictures, so I just can't think of a logical answer, it just doesn't make sense!!
I am only starting to catalogue my pictures in the hope of going professional one day and this is extremely discouraging... if anyone out there can help, I'd be ever so grateful. Right now I just feel like pulling my hair out!! :'(
OK, rant over :)
Thanks very much for reading and thanks very, very much in advance for any suggestions/ideas!!

I have run into the same problem. I downloaded photos in raw format ".CR2" from a Canon 40D via a compact flash card reader to my laptop. I labelled the ones I wanted green and then transferred these images via wireless transfer to my desktop. I had not checked any keywords while these were on the laptop. I used the Bridge (CS3)File/Copy to menu selection to effect the transfer. Both systems are Windows XP, SP2.
I then tried to check a keword in my list for an image and got the error message number 2 reported by Maria Atkins above. I got the same for all images on the desktop system.
Observations:
-the green labelled items are correctly filtered on the desktop, but the labels on the images all show white.
-not all images even have .xmp files associated with them. It appears to be a random thing.
-although I have checked my preference to have double click open an image in Camera Raw in Bridge it will not do so with these images, always opening Camera Raw in Photoshop.
-the camera exif data is correctly attached to the images, whether there is a .xmp file associated or not.
-On my laptop I found I can check keywords and they are stored with the image with no complaints from Bridge, and whether the image has a .xmp file associated with it or not. This is after I had copied the images to the desktop. I was just checking whether the problem was with the original images or just the transferred ones. It appears to be that something was not done correctly in the transfer.
This is not a trivial issue since it is essential for cataloging images to enable future searches. I hope someone from Adobe is paying attention and will respond with an answer.

CS5, IPTC core, only author is showing in content

Metadata>IPTC core>creator, job title......>apply. Only the creator s name is showing in content, (as author) not the other items. Any clue why?
Thanks

First of all, where I am: Bridge, I opened up a folder, clicking on the
metadata tab gives a dark gray panel with the thumbnails listed on the left,
What you call the metadata tab I think is in fact the Metadata workspace?
(To my own opinion the Metadata workspace is very useless, but that aside)
My purpose: to make sure that the person on the other end of the mail gets the
captions. I figured out a good part of it , but not all.
In preferences, all the options are checked, so basically I can "write"
anything i want, but I only need title and author.
The preferences for Bridge metadata gives you option to check or uncheck but
that is only to see the lines that you check are visible in the metadata
panel. If you have the option 'hide empty fields' also checked (by default
on) the fields that have no info in it will not show.
But the IPTC in the file info is still having all this fields written to it.
I found out that if I write those (description and author) in Photoshop
file\info, they appear simultaneously in Bridge in both the the lighter gray
panel to the left, in the white fiels with the pencils, AND next to the
thumbnails, in the dark gray panel.
Bridge just reflects the info you have filled in, only the main window of
the Metadata Workspace does show very little of the content and you are not
able to select what info you want to show next to the thumbs Hence my
'useless' qualification...)
The metadata panel itself however can be of great help for you. You can make
a template for the IPTC / file info. This can be done in both PS and Bridge.
For PS open File info and fill in the fields that you think will need the
same info for every file (your name address copyright etc ) and when done
click export.
For Bridge (where you can also open file info) you have the ability to use
the metadata panel. Top right of the panel is a small icon that provides you
a fly out menu. Here you can choose to create a template but also you can
choose to add a template (when having a template created).
This is a major time saver that let's you add the same info you want to add
to all your files in one go. Select the files you want to alter and choose
append metadata and click on the template you want to add.
Now the files need some time to save but all the data is there!
Having multiple files that need the same description/caption you only have
to select those files and in the editable fields in the metadata IPTC core
section you can write this once and they are written to all the selected
files when done.
Besides that Batch rename (tools/batch rename) let you create a really easy
to use naming convention with auto adding sequence number shot date and a
lot more options.
What is left for me to understand: if my data is embedded from file\info, and
to be more precise it should be file\info\save for web because it seems that a
different title in save for web prevails over file\info
Not sure I understand this, you mean the mobile SFW tab in file info? Or the
file after having used the save for web option to create a file for web??
I verify that the data is there, which means that I dont have to write
nothing anymore, so what is the purpose of the lighter gray panel with the
little pencils?
Those fields let you add custom info to the metadata if you should wish so.
Preferable you should fill in as much as possible in the IPTC using the
template.
Leaving you with only having to add a few fields with custom info that
changes per file/subject. Description, keywords, date created, City, state,
country are fields that can be read by many applications and also will be
used to search for files using phrases or keywords.
What is confusing, is that, and I rephrase the old question, if you write
creator in the IPTC core next to the little pencil, that will appear next to
the thmbnail in the dark gray panel, if the thumbnail is selected of course,
but the next item, job title will not appear, even if I click on apply at the
bottom of the pencils.
If this is still about the metadata workspace forget about it. If you fill
in that field or have filled it in using a template and it shows in the
metadata panel it is saved in there

IPTC field codes -- Bridge IPTC Core metadata

Is there a reference somewhere as to which IPTC codes match up with the IPTC Core fields in Bridge metadata?
A list of the codes is here, so you know what I'm talking about. For example, the Description field in Bridge metadata corresponds to the Caption / #120 code in this list:

I'm using a plug-in that writes image info from a database into the corresponding file's IPTC fields based on the IPTC code, but the names of the fields on the list of codes don't match up with what they're called in Bridge, so it's taking a lot of trial and error to figure out where things go.

Never mind, found one. It doesn't mention Bridge specifically, but it has Photoshop and Lightroom (along with several other image-browsing apps) and both seem similar to Bridge:

Aperture very slow on mac pro 8 core

I have a very new mac pro that can't seem to run aperture at a usable speed at all. My 4 year old G5 was able to run it faster, using the same library. When I move between pictures, or even try and change rating, the whole computer comes to a halt and I can't do or click on anything. After about 10 - 30 seconds I can start working again. This is the same with just about any feature in aperture. I have checked the task list and it is empty. This is running with the library on the boot drive and on a secondary drive. The performance is the same. Any ideas??

Library size does matter, and Aperture doesn't handle big libraries well when it comes to speed. It shouldn't matter but it does.
My own library is around 65k images and growing rapidly. If I was to have all these images on one drive, or a RAID, and perform a search of an image with spotlight, I would get results in only a few seconds, with Aperture it's like pulling your hair out and is very painful to perform a search.
If I wanted to search my entire album I must be prepared to watch the spinning beach ball for quite a few minutes, and every click or keyboard type takes another few minutes. I don't know why this is, or why the finder runs rings around Aperture, even iView can perform a whole library search in a matter of seconds.
I think it is because Aperture is trying to show you all the thumbnails or present a graphical view of all the images when you choose library or all images. All I am doing is asking Aperture to consider all the data in all images before I perform my search, but Aperture wants to do everything.
I really hope that the engineers work on this issue for version 2, and also come up with a better captioning window than is currently in use. I use PhotoMechanic to caption everything before it even touched Aperture, which makes Apple's programme by post-event workflow rather than my live workflow. An IPTC window such as PhotoMechanic's would be very welcome. If anyone else agrees please add it to the feedback page.
Anyway, back to the performance. Certain operations, even with plenty of RAM and a good graphics card, can lead to almost snail like performance with large Aperture libraries. I doubt an Octo-Mac (as I like to call them), or even a 50-core Mac with 60Gb RAM and a 20GB video card would make any difference. The application needs updating in that respect.

Write IPTC Error

Quick question for the community;
In Aperture, when using the 'Write IPTC Metadata to Originals' function I am finding that the Caption field automatically fills in. For example I have a photo with the caption 'Lake Taupo Kayaking Trip', when I write the IPTC Metadata to the originals it is replaced by the camera name Minolta or another random bit of information, sometimes even an old placeholder caption.
As you can imagine it is frustrating, especially when doing a whole event of photos and then finding half the carefully and painstakingly written captions have been replaced. It has been happening for a while, I have done the usual library rebuilds etc. Was hoping the latest update to Aperture would fix the problem.
Has anyone else come across this?
Is there a solution?
Cheers, Thijs

How are you checking the IPTC?
I just checked on my Aperture 3.5/Mavericks MBP, and all captions that I added appear to be o.k. I checked by revealing the referenced original in the Finder and looking at the IPTC using the Inspector (Tools > Show Inspector ⌘I) in Preview. All Metadata tags were exactly like I set them.
How did you check the metadata? Whaere are they appearing to be corrupted?

Pages 5.5: app doesn't appear in dock or tab bar when open

We are seeing this issue on the two macs in our office we tested (mine and a coworkers). To reproduce it:
Open pages
Click "Done" on the open/new document window (or simply close all documents you have open)
Click the desktop to send Pages to the background
If you Cmd+Tab, Pages doesn't appear for us. It also doesn't appear in the dock. Activity Monitor shows the app is still running and using spotlight to "open" it again brings it back to the foreground.
Is anyone else having this same problem?
Pages 5.5 2109
Yosemite 10.10
MBP 13", 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB RAM
256 GB SSD

Newly downloaded apps will appear in the column on the left. The images on the right show what is installed on the device. Perphaps the logic has changed slightly with older builds also including what would be synced as well. Untick the box that says Automatically sync new apps and you can choose whether or not to include a new app instead of syncing, then removing.

Aperture doesn't appear to write IPTC core correctly ?
