Aperture flickr delete problem

I keep on encountering this same problem with the flickr section on Aperture 3.2.2, on Lion.
I drag a photo from a project into an existing flickr album. Then I decide I don't want it there, so I delete it from the flickr album.
I then find that the master and all versions are deleted from the original project, all has gone in the trash.
All the documentation says that if you don't want a particular photo in flickr anymore you can just delete it, but it seems that this deletes it from everywhere in aperture.

I work with referenced files in Aperture and just did the same drag and drop operation to get some of my images into an existing flickr album yesterday.
If you browse your flickr album (within Aperture) and right click on one exemplary image, do you see a "Show in Finder" entry?
I do see this (as I work with referenced files which are not imported in the library itself) and I just discovered that the reference is to the same original directory as within the project. Maybe it's a kind of "bug", at least I agree that this is misleading if not dangerous. That way deleting an image in the flickr album section means deleting the file globally!
My recommendation for the moment: Open the flickr gallery (website) and delete the images there. There is a flickr button at the bottom toolbar of Aperture to switch to flickr.

  • Creating space in Aperture Library & Deleting unwanted Facebook/Flickr...

    After updating Aperture via the most recent update, Aperture synced ALL my photo libraries from Facebook and Flickr... I didn't want this. Now I keep getting the message "insufficient space in Aperture library" I want to delete the Facebook & Flickr albums that have been added to my Aperture WITHOUT deleting them online. Am I able to do so just by deleting the albums that were synced to my library OR will deleting them from my Aperture will cause them to also be deleted online?
    I have deselected the "sync" option from preferences, but whenever I select an album, Aperture proceeds to go into "sync" mode.
    HELP please, I have pictures I need to import, edit and get out...
    Thank you

    I called Apple and first I was told that if I delete a Facebook or Flickr album from my library that the album would remain on Facebook or Flickr so I proceeded to delete them. As soon as I did a message came up that said something to the effect of "Deleting this album will delete the album on Facebook" I went into my Aperture, file, web accounts and disabled all of them to be sure...
    Regarding the other question... I just needed more space on my internal hard drive.

  • Why does iPhoto/Aperture keep deleting photo sets from my Flickr account or keep placing whole sets back into the Pending stage of uploading the photos. This is becoming very frustrating and extremely time consuming. Any help would be most welcome

    Has anyone got any idea as to why Iphoto/aperture keeps deleteing my photo sets from my Flickr account without warning or reason given. Also when I enter my sets the program will revert all of the photos back to the Pending stage of the up oading process. One or two photos I could live with but some of my set are in excess of 1500 photos per set, and this becomes very very time consuming to re upload them. and whats more annoying on some occassions after spending 12 to 16 hours re uploading them I find that they have all been duplicated. Is there a Bug with Iphoto or Aperture????????
    any help would be most welcome P Jefferys

    I am using Iphoto version 9.5.1, and No I am not deleting any photo from any file. what happens is this :- I open up Iphoto and enter my flickr account via the shared folder icon on the left hand side of the screen this is when I get a pop up screen from Iphoto informing me that they have removed a SET of photos from my Flickr account (no reason given) when i go into that set all I can see is dashed empty square where the photo used to be. I will then get another pop up screen saying that Iphoto can no longer access my flickr account and will I permit a reconnection and allow Iphoto to access my flickr account (add pass words etc) when I get back into flickr the SETS have gone and all other photos enter the Pending stage again. After re uploading the missing photos I find that some 50% of them have been duplicated.

  • I have 396 versions in the Aperture trash, but Aperture's deleting 784 versions?

    I deleted a bunch of versions along with some masters.  The number by the Trash in the inspector indicated there were 396 versions in the trash.  I clicked "empty Aperture trash" and expected it to empty as usual, but it seemed to be taking an extra long time.  I had the "Activity Monitor" on at the time and, indeed, both the processor and RAM appeared to be maxed.  (I have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, 15 inch, 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 8 GB RAM, running OSX 10.6.8).  I waited a while, but it didn't seem to improve.  Curious about what progress had been made, I clicked "Show Activity" in Aperture.  It showed a status of 10%,  soon thereafter, it said "deleting 2 of 784"!!!!!  Why would it be deleting nearly twice as many versions as are in the trash?  I have never had the "Show Activity" window open before when emptying the trash, so I don't know if this is normal or not, but it had me worried.  I wanted to cancel the process and find out if it was normal before continuing, but the "Cancel Task" button in the activity window was greyed out, and therefore, not an option.  I waited and waited, all the while worrying about what other versions it was planning on deleting.  It seemed to be at a stand-still.  There was no spinning beach ball, and I was able to use the cursor, but the Activity Window didn't show any more versions being deleted.  I know I'll get criticized for the next few things I did, as I'm sure I probably should not have done them:  I decided to try quitting Aperture, since I could find no other way to cancel the task.  The progress bar got about half way through and then seemed to stall.  Again, I waited and waited and waited.  Finally, I reluctantly clicked on "Aperture" in the "Activity Monitor" and then "Quit Process", to force quit the process.  I then put the computer to sleep for a while.  When I came back, I clicked "restart" to clear the RAM (Activity Monitor indicated about 5 MB of Page Outs--don't ask me what the other stats were, as I don't recall).  I opened Aperture to see what would happen.  It opened fine.  The only immediate noticeable problem is that while the trash still indicates 396 items are in it, no previews show in the window.  It is all grey.
    My questions are as follows:
    1) As asked above: Why would Aperture be deleting 784 versions when only 396 are in the trash?
    2) What is the next best step for me to take?  I am wanting to delete the 396 versions, but not unknow extras!  I can't see what's in the trash.
    Thanks, in advance, for any insight.

    Update:  I did an extended hardware test (just in case a hardware issue was causing my problem)--no problems found.  I then went through the Aperture troubleshooting steps: I tried repairing permissions first, but I still could not see any of the images that were in the Aperture trash.  I then repaired the library.  This seems to have fixed things (at least upon initial assessment).  Afterward, I was able to see the images that were in the trash.  I opened the Activity Window to see what it said when I tried emptying the trash again.  This time it said it was deleting exactly the number of images that I expected it to delete (not twice as many this time!), and it emptied lickety split--as I had expected it to do the first time!  So, hopefully, all is now well with my system and library.  Still wondering why it was telling me it was deleting twice as many images as were in the trash the last time I tried, but overall, much happier today!

  • How can I prevent Aperture from deleting pics while tethering?

    Using Nikon D90 & Aperure 3 on a brand new iMac.
    Now Aperture is deleting pictures without asking as they import (tethering) to the current aperture project.
    Aperture 2 gave us the option of storing the photos in the memory card as well. It's always safer to have the user decide and manage the fate of the precious pics. Since the process of tethering is not 100% perfect, we have a big problem not being able to backup the memory card as well.
    Please help.
    Thank you,
    Al

    Any ideas on how to solve this?

  • Aperture installation deleted all image files from MacBook Pro.

    After installing Aperture 3, I noticed that all the image files I had on my MacBook Pro immediately disappeared. These were stored in various locations throughout my computer depending on subject (e.g. "Emergency Response Training", "Summer 2009", "Car Restoration" and so on). A small number were in the "Pictures" folder but most were kept in other locations. All the folders and subfolders where these images were stored are intact but the images are gone. There is simply a "thumbs.db" file inside and the folder size is about 6 kb on average.
    I did nothing other than install Aperture (no importing or library creation) and none of these images or folders are in the Aperture library. A similar thing happened with iPhoto where all my iphoto thumbnails show up but there appears to be no actual photo. No images prior to Aperture installation appear anywhere on the Macbook using tailored queries with "Find". 
    Apple support indicated that Aperture would not search out these photos unless prompted and would never delete them but It's hard to imagine how else this could have happened, as it happened only during installation (subsequent photos are fine) and targeted all image files in every location. Hard drive is new and indicates no problems.
    Any ideas what might have happened - and, more importantly, how I might be able to recover the missing images? Unfortunately, my upgrade to Lion obliterated my DNS 321 back up disk, as well, and I don't yet know if I can recover those files.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.

    Apple support claimed it was impossible for Aperture to delete files, as well, Allen. All I can tell you is I installed Aperture and the files immediately disappeared. I installed Aperture with the intention of learning its capabilities over the ensuing months, as I had never used it before, and so made sure to do nothing but install and launch so I could have a look at it and see how it was set up.
    The network hard drive obliteration occured when I was trying to transfer novie files from my Macbook to my DNS 321 network drive, which I use to store all my backups and most of my media files. I've done this countless times with Snow Leopard without a hitch. However, when I tried it with Lion the system locked up during the transfer and I lost my connection to the drive. Once I managed to reconnect, I found that I couldn't get into the folders on the network drive anymore. All that would come up was a "My Documents" folder, which had no content. After doing a websearch I discovered that Lion no longer supports DNS 321 and that others with similar style drives had been having similar problems. What might be unique to my situation was that when I hooked up an old PC to the DNS 321 I was able to get back into my original folder set up but I found that the folders labelled from (A to J) were missing entirely and that the remaining folders had no content.
    So, as I mentioned in my first post, the only input from me was installation and launch of Aperture and the only thing I was doing with my network drive was transferring movie files from the Macbook to the DNS 321 drive. If neither of those actions could possibly have caused the problems I described, I'd be very eager to learn what did.

  • Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive but many are not showing up in Aperture.

    Aperture Video Import Problem - from Lumix GH4: Imported clips have their dates changed to the import date.  The files show up on the hard drive with import date not created date, but many of these same files are not showing up in Aperture. Sometimes the clips actually show up with the current import but take on the video information from a previously imported file.

    It was suggested I move this question to IPhoto or IMovie which I did. 
    Well moving to a different discussion group did not provide an answer to this question either. But what I finally did was import one batch of photos and videos into IPhoto for a given day at a time. Working with these I could change the date and times in order to get them in the original sequench taken. Then I would create an album with that batch. These would all be on the same day (IMove was closed for this phase). Then I would open IMovie, generate the thumbnails for that album, and select the album I had created. This was necessary because the importing process in IPhoto was using incorrect dates for my video so it was a real struggle finding them in IMove until I developed this approach.
    I believe that this whole process was so screwy because I was importing from an external hard drive not a camera. I had these photos on a PC and did not have the original cameras to use to import directly which I am fairly sure would have made this easier!

  • HT202020 Using a SDHC card adapter I can import directly on my iPad2 videos (.mov) taken with a Panasonic DMC-ZS3. The same video files (same file format) imported in Aperture 3.3 cannot be synchronized with iPad. Is Aperture causing the problem?

    Oh, baby! This bad boy flies!! Here's what to expect:
    I had 40,000 images in Aperture 3 and it was dog slow at everything. I installed 3.1 update today. It took 5 minutes to update the database and then behaved marginally better than before at ASIC library navigation. I was disappointed.
    Then I QUIT the app. It took a couple of hours to "update files for sharing" with a counter that went to 110,000 images. So it must have updated every thumbnail and variation of preview. Turned it back on , and BAM. Came up fully in seconds. Paused for 10 seconds ten everything was lickrty split. For the first time ever, I can use the Projects view with all 791 projects and scroll quickly. I even put it in photos modevand whipped thru all 49,000 images!
    Haven't done anybprocessing yet, but i'm liking it!!

  • Two Related (?) file deleting problems in Finder and Time Machnine

    My internal drive is partition into two volumes. In the second one (the "non-boot" one), I was have trouble putting files in the trash that were locked. As I was tracking that down I coincidentally(?) started having another problem.
    I started getting a message that the files being put into the trash must be deleted immediately. I check permissions and I had read/write Privileges in the user account I'm normally logged into. However, If I logged into my administrator account, I could put things in the trash without deleting them. I noticed that ignore ownerships wasn't checked, so I checked that.
    That allowed my to put files into the trash without immediately deleting them. I went ahead and deleted the files I wanted to get rid of. However, I'm wondering if there was another issue because I am lead to understand that the ownership privileges shouldn't have necessitated checking "ignore ownerships"?
    Also, I had trouble deleting the backups of those files and folders in time machine. I can delete most of it. But for one folder (and all the folders in which it resides in the hierarchy) I can't deleted it. I tell it to delete backups of that folder (or folders it is in), I put in the password, and goes "ding". But nothing disappears...
    (After I wrote this, I tried unchecking "ignore ownerships" and the problem did not reappear. I can still put files in the trash without the immediate deletion problem.)

    Are you doing that via the Finder or Terminal? If so, that's not the way to delete backups. See #12 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).
    And now I'm getting an error in time machine. "Files can't be copied onto the backup disk because it appears to be "read only"". I do get info on the disk, and my account has Read & Write privleges, but it say "You can only read" above that".
    The Finder or Terminal deletions may have corrupted your backups. Repair them, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Time Machine+ forum).

    I'm doing the deletion through Time Machine (I go into Time Machine, find the folder in the backup, and ask Time machine to delete all backups of that folder).
    I did find the tip of unmounting the disk, rebooting, and remounting it. That Stopped messages about the disk being read only. However, the folder still doesn't delete. I'm also a bit worried about these being symptoms of some other problem...

  • Aperture: after deleting a project (trash) this reappear opening again the program, how solve it?

    Aperture: after deleting a project (trash) this reappear opening again the program, how solve it?

    I have the same issue. When I use fotostream, there will be automatically generated projects for each month. So I deleted all fotos inside the project and now I have empty projects. When I delete them (with or without empty trash), they will reappear after opening Aperture again.
    If I delete them, close Aperture and start iPhoto with the same library, the projects will not reappear, but after the next start of Aperture, they reappear.
    I've tried to put fotos into the project and deleted them with the fotos inside, but this didn't make any difference.

  • How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?

    How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
    My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

    No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
    You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
    You can not share the iPhoto library
    And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
    There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

  • Aperture and Flickr Export Problems - Missing Files

    I have a MacPro, Aperture 3, and Flickr Pro account. I was planning on using Flickr as an online storage/back-up option for lower-res files. However, whenever I try to upload a project to Flickr files always seem to drop off.
    For example, if I export a project with 446 files in it, when it gets to Flickr it'll say I only have 403 images. Likewise if I try a smaller project (e.g., 426 -> 404).
    Has this happened to anyone else? Any ideas what is the cause of this problem?
    Also, any way to remove that 500 upload limit per project to Flickr? Flickr itself does not limit the number of photos you can store in a set.
    Thanks!

    Maybe it's related to this bug?

  • Aperture 3 and Flickr sync problems

    Hi!
    I started using Aperture 3 recently and made the mistake of authorizing Aperture to sync with Flickr.  I hate it!  Now I want to deauthorize it somehow but don't know where or how?  I've read horror stories that all of my Flickr photos will be deleted from Flickr if I deauthorize, but none of my Flickr photos were uploaded from Aperture, they were already in Flickr and were automatically synced to Aperture once I authorized it.  Now that I realize I've made a mistake I want to get out, but how?
    TIA!
    Debbie

    I have been using the sync feature between my Aperture library and Facebook and Flickr for 6 months and I finally gave up on it yesterday.
    As an example of what I usually go through, I uploaded 159 photos to my flickr account this past weekend, then added some captions/descriptions/tags etc. on flickr (was that a mistake?). Then Aperture promptly undid some my work at the next synchonization... I don't want photos on my stream named DSC_6788.jpg, etc.  Thing is, Aperture undoes some of what I do on Flickr but not all.  There's no rhyme, reason, or pattern to it.  If I use Aperture to add tags (by entering keywords in the right field), even those partially disappear after the next sync.
    Another maddening thing is that it makes the filename the caption on Facebook albums.  I/e/. if, on Facebook, I added a desctiptive caption on a picture such as "Mommy and Daddy making out under the Eiffel Tower" (totally a made up example), then next time a synch happens, the caption would be "DSC_8646.jpg."  Gee, thanks for the help, Aperture.
    For 6 months I have lived in fear of opening up Aperture.  Will the sync mess up what I've published online?
    There should be option to not have Aperture override what you do on flickr (and Facebook).  I am a strong believer in the "Publish and Forget" model for places like Flickr and Facebook, not the sync model.
    For now, it's back to export to a folder and upload via the uploader.

  • Facebook & Flickr Export Problems

    One of the new features of Aperture 3 I was excited about was the Facebook & Flickr integration. I had previously been using a free Flickr plug-in and exporting my Aperture images to iPhoto to make use of the Facebook integration.
    After preparing a project with 26 adjusted/edited "keeper" images, I tried the Flickr upload button. It worked away and after a few minutes said that the process had completed. When I checked Flickr, only a portion (18 out of 26) of the images were displayed. I then clicked the "Publish" icon beside the album in Aperture, and instead of trying to re-add the missing photos to Flickr, it synced the album to Flickr and gave the Flickr images preference, thereby deleting the images that were not loaded on the initial upload. I have tried this several times and get various behaviours including a case where I got duplicate images in the Flickr set.
    I tried the same thing with Facebook and had very similar problems. It does not load all of the selected images onto Facebook and a second sync then deletes the non-uploaded ones from Aperture. On another try, it loaded most (23 out of 26) of the images to Facebook, but instead of showing the images, just had empty "image not found" symbols.
    Is anyone else having problems with Facebook and Flickr integration in Aperture 3?

    I'll second the "stacks" issue...
    I had the same issue as the OP, but once I removed stacks from the event that I was uploading from, all of my images made it into Facebook.....
    HOWEVER.....a new issue turned up....for whatever reason, now my people/face tags don't make it into Facebook, even though it worked before removing the stacks. To make matters worse, if I manually tag the images in Facebook and re-synchronize A3, the people/face tags are removed on the Facebook size....I can't f-ing win.
    So it looks like I have to select from the lesser of two evils:
    1. If I want to preserve face-tagging, I have to be prepared for A3 to omit certain images
    2. If I want all of my images to be exported to Facebook, I have to live with no face/people tags
    ....fanfuckingtastic.
