Aperture Import Window shuts on import of JPEGs. Won't import JPEGs HZ35W.

Just got a new camera, Samsung HZ35W aka WB650. Files are on SD card, and I am trying to import them from the SD card into Aperture 3.1.1:
- camera is shooting JPEG only, no RAW
- I can see the JPEG files in Finder and in Aperture
- do not import duplicates is not checked
- import JPEG only files is checked
- this camera has geo tagging capabilities
When I click import checked, the import window just shuts down and no import occurs. I have just imported from my Canon 5D card so I know import works. If I move the files to the Mac HD and try and import the file, the same thing happens - the import window just shuts with no error message.
I can import these JPEGs into iPhoto with no issue. I have tried importing just one or two of the files, but same result. I am doing something dumb? Why is the import window just shutting like that?
Thanks!

OK, I shut down Aperature and restarted and it's working now...

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.

Lightroom 4.4 crashed on Windows 7 Laptop today, lost catalog info, won't import half my images.
Not only is LR messed up, it deleted my day's shooting. Can't believe that.
Now it won't import (i.e. re-import) half my files.
Imported half, but had errors importing rest.
Corrupt catalog?
When I try to import the folders, it recognizes that they are in the catalog (I have "don't import duplicates" turned on).
After running through all the folders, it says, "Nothing to Import."
Any help?
Best,
Peter

Thanks dj_paige.
I installed a plugin, coincidence makes me thinks this might have cause a LR4.4 crash.
After rebooting my windows 7 laptop, LR had lost record of half my directories on the external drive, as seen in Library Module.
In Windows Explorer, the folders and images are still there.
I tried recovering the lost folder references in LR by doing an import on the external hard drive again.
It took about a half hour to run.
There was a report screen at the end of the process that said that LR was unable to import something like 1500 images.
I did not save the report screen. Maybe it is part of a log file somewhere to give you what it exactly said?
I do not profess to understand how catalogues work under the covers.
I only use one catalog at this point.
My guess is at this point I should de-commission the catalog (whatever it takes to do that - delete it, etc.) and just do a new, fresh import on my images.
I don't feel I lose anthing this way - I can't see where I would lose anything important. About 5-10% of the RAW images were processed and exported to jpg, just for web use for casual viewing. The jpg's are all still on the external hard drive.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Cheers,
Peter

JPEGS won't import

I searched the forum but only found issues with blurry JPEGS. My JPEG file won't even import. When I go to import-file-pictures all of the JPEGS are in gray. The computer won't allow me to choose them. Any ideas?
Thanks!
P.S. These files are taken directly from a digital camera. They were not saved in Photoshop

Yes, they are gray out as a menu option. They are not black and white photos.
I copied the photos to a disc and put the disc in the drive. Then I copied the photos to a folder and attempted to import that folder. No go.
I can import the images directly from the disc but I can't eject the disc without losing the media (of course)
I tried copying out of the bin to a folder and then ejecting the disc, but no joy
Huh?

Must Restart iTunes to Import CD's; If Not, Then iTunes won't Import It

I am importing my CD library to my new iPod Classic. I have to restart iTunes before putting in the CD each time I want to import one in order for iTunes to import it. If I forget and insert the CD with iTunes already up, iTunes can't import the CD.
I have Windows 7 and have updated iTunes and Windows, installled and uninstalled iTunes, run the iTunes diagnostics which says that iTunes can't read such a disc (other discs are fine to important as long as I don't insert them with iTunes up) I've checked and unchecked various boxes in preferences for importing CD's. I've also done a driver scan and did a general, authomated, driver update for the computer.
Any help would be welcome.

I've tested 5 audio CD's that I've purchased in stores. They have the "COMPACT disc DIGITAL AUDIO" logo you mentioned. When I insert them, they spin for about 30 seconds and then eject with nothing launching.
When I put in a audio CD that I've burned in iTunes (I tested one I burned today as well as one that I burned over a year ago) iTunes launches and the disc and it's contents show up in iTunes under the heading "Devices" in the left menu bar.
I tried resetting the SMC as well as setting up another user account ...and I had my fingers crossed ... but these efforts didn't fix my problem.

Ckk: photos made on nikon d3200 won't import, Cck: photos made on nikon d3200 won't import

Hello,
Ik bought the Camera Connection Kit. I tried to import my photo's taken with my Nikon D3200 camera.
When I plug-in the sd-card I can see the thumbnails of the photo's.
But when i'm trying to import I get a red exclamation mark in the thumbnail as a result. No import is made.
When I use the same sd-card, and put a photo on it with my Canon Ixus camera, e import function works just fine.
I tired different Sd-cards and to connect the camera with the usb kit.
Getting quit frustrating.
Hope someone van help me out.
Regards,
Jaap

* Thank you for the suggestion.
Additional info: I can not get the images onto my MacBook Pro via Image Capture either. Same situation, the images appear in thumbnail but after I click import nothing happens. However, I am able to get the pictures onto a separate MacBook via Image Capture indicating that there is something wrong with my system or it's settings. Both computers are running OS X Yosemite.

Plays in Win Media Player, but won't import in iTunes

I have some quite large MP3 files that play fine in Windows Media Player, but I iTunes won't import them.
What could be reason for that?
TIA

Are you certain that the files in question are in fact MP3 files and not some other format?
iTunes can play plain old MP3 files, but it cannot play proprietary schemes with digital rights management built in, and it cannot play WMA files.

IMovie suddenly won't import

Hi gang-
I've been having such problems with all my Apple applications since my Mavericks upgrade, now iMovie
I've been using a Canon Vixia HF R21 for a few years and haven't had any import problems other than long/large files slowing my computer a bit during import.
Today I shot an 8 minute video, no changes to camera settings, and suddenly iMovie (version 10.0.2) won't import.
The import window opens, I select the single clip, hit import, and the import window minimizes, all like normal. However the "importing clock" icon never appears on the iMovie header, and if I check the selected library date/folder for import or reopen the import window clearly nothing is happening. I can reselect the clip over and over and nothing happens.
iPhoto quickly and easily imported the clip (for a change, har) but of course that version is crap quality for editing and etc.
I've searched the forums to no avail. Tried ejecting and re-mounting the camera and iMovie a dozen times including permutations with iMac restarts. Nothing seems to work.
Any ideas?
Thanks all,
Matthew

Given that you don't have access to a Windows machine, you are of course right! For me, after having bought this splendid MacBook Pro and Final Cut Express, I didn't feel like throwing money after non-apple vendors just to get access to my files.
For me, it was just more sense to attack the root of the problem (problem with the AVCHD files) so iMovie and FCE gets the AVCHD structure as they expect to see it.
That the solution turned to be a windows program was just an accident (no problem for me).
Actually, to correct the file structure cannot be a difficult task, and there must be a mac solution somewhere, that does it better than that windows program!
Jader's description matches my case 100%, so I'm pretty sure that until the card is corrected (easiest is reformatted) the problem won't go away. As soon as this is done, importing will work - until something happens again with the file structure.
Please also note that this problem with iMovie and FCE has been documented by others long ago.
I must admit that I am surprised that conversion (and not correction) seems to be the preferred solution. But since conversion is so much used it must be OK. Just didn't work for me, iMovie virtually stopped when I tried.

Can Aperture make JPEG dupes of imported RAW automatically based on camera?

I have a specific DSLR which I shoot with. I guess most photographers might also have 2 or more DSLRs they shoot with as well. Usually one older than the other as a second body or back up.
When I import RAW images to Aperture 2.x, I would like Aperture (either automatically or triggered by me) to process the importing/imported images to a default JPEG duplicate copy of the RAW. In other words, rather than shooting JPEG+RAW, I would rather just shoot all RAW and when those RAWs enter Aperture, I would like it to make JPEG duplicates. I realize I may loose JPEG quality but this is not essential as if an image selected for use, I will custom process that image and convert to JPEG.
Obviously, I would like those dupes to not be strait dupes of the RAW but, on a basic level, when the conversion happens, also adjust them based on a basic set of color corrections, etc. like the camera might do when making a JPEG in camera. So the conversion is more specific to the RAW coming from the specific camera model.
Can Aperture do this? and how do I set this up? It seems like this ability should be built in or a plug in. It would be camera specific though. A setting for a Nikon D300 would do this "make JPEG dupes of RAW imports" different from a setting for a Sony A700 "make JPEG dupes of RAW imports".
I envision a plug in or free list of default import settings you can save for specific cameras. Something akin to color palettes for design programs based on specific printers. For Epson XYZ printer I can download the Pantone color palettes for that printer and install them in InDesign, etc. Plug in conversion settings for specific DSLR bodies.

I'm not aware of any way to have Aperture generate hi-quality jpegs automatically from the raw file. Maybe there is someway to script it, but I'm not that much of an expert to advise you on that. It will generate a jpeg as the other poster indicated, but it's not a hi-quality file. The jpegs rendered from the embedded raw file are only about 500k, so obviously they are not of the highest quality.
Regarding the metadata, everything is there; camera model, res, aperture, shutter, and a myriad of other things. What's not there is the Nikon specialized stuff like custom picture controls, custom white balance, d-lighting and some others. If you use these features and like the raw converter in NX, you will find it necessary to use either the hi-quality jpegs from the camera (assuming you create them when you shoot) or have NX or View render and save jpegs or Tiffs from the Nikon NEF's. I've decided to shoot Raw+JPEG, import to Aperture using referenced libraries, make a new master from the JPEG and this separates the JPEG from the NEF in Aperture allowing you to see and use either. If the JPEGS are satisfactory, use them. If not, you have options; tweak the NEF in Aperture, show the NEF in finder, and drop into NX and tweak the raw with Nikon's proprietary camera controls and raw features then save out as Tiff or JPEG and drop back into Aperture. If you like Aperture's raw renderer enough to forego Nikon's picture controls, custom white balance, d-lighting etc..., you can skip the whole Nikon thing and just import the raw files. Come up with some custom settings and stamp the lot. Batch export the project to jpeg and drop them back into Aperture when finished. I think it's best to just let the camera create the RAW-JPEG. If you get good files or just need minor tweak, fix-lift and stamp and you're done. If not you have lots of options. JMO

Aperture Import window

With the Aperture import window open and a memory card in a reader, I have at top left two option. One is the select the computer itself as the source and the other is the memory card. If I select the computer, at the bottom of the window I get pane listing the various harddrives and all there subdirectories, but when I choose the memory card, this pane is no longer vailable. Is it possible to have this pane display so that I can see the folders on the meory card?
I ask this because when a photographer is covering multiple rings at an event, it is faster to seperate the images inot their respective rings by choosing which folder to put them in than it is to change the file name which os what we currently. I provide staff with Nikon cameras at some events and if they are not familiar with Nikon, they struggle with the filename changing in a hurry, but selecting pre-made folders is easy.

Is it possible to have this pane display so that I can see the folders on the meory card?
No, you cannot show the memory card in the file chooser - I tried several things, like linking it to the Desktop, but aperture hides it.
You could open the memery card however in the Finder; it will show on Desktop as an external disk, and then import by dragging from the Finder. Bt this way you will not be able to use Import presets directly while importing.
Your only option would be to copy your folders on the card to backup folders on your hard drive and then import from there. This folder you will see in Aperture in the file chooser window at the bottom.

How do I get iPhone photos to re-appear in "Import" window? I had "Automatically Import" turned on in Aperture prefs.

How do I get photos to re-appear in the "Import" window? I had "Automatically Import" turned on in Aperture prefs. Now I cannot see the photos in my import dialog that are still on my phone. I normally import without Photostream into specific folders on a NAS drives and with specific folder and file-naming details. I then have Aperature delete those photos as I import them.
How do I "revert" to having Aperature "forget" that I accidentally had "Import Automatically" turned on?
I tried deleting images from the PhotoStream import folder, closing Aperature, disconnecting phone, and then try to re-import.

When I turned off "Ignore Duplicates" in the Import dialog, then the photos that have already been imported into the Photostream library but are still on my phone reappeared as available to import into another Aperture Library as well as the correct folder structure on my NAS drive.

Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

Is your profile signature above still current?

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

Why does aperture convert my raw files to jpegs when I import them from iPhoto?

It doesn't.
When you import Raw to iPhoto the app makes a jpeg preview of the Raw automatically. When you import from iPhoto then Aperture brings over both versions.

Windows shuts down while importing CDs

Please help!
I purchased my iPod 30 Gig Video about two weeks ago. I have a Windows XP Home SP2 computer. When I’m importing CDs Windows shuts down the computer and dumps the physical memory. This happens when I usually put in the second CD. Here are the specs of my computer:
AMD Athlon XP 2800+
2.08 GHz, 1.00 GB of RAM
I have a Memorex DVD 16+/-DL4RWD2 DVD/CD-ROM drive
For my virus protection I’m using Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security2006
When the problem first started I uninstalled and reinstalled the iTunes/iPod software. I made sure that all of the previous versions of iTunes and Quicktime were deleted. When I reinstalled I turned off my virus protection.
Lately when I’ve come across this problem I turn off the virus protection thinking that that might have something to do with it.
I have all the current Windows updates and the drivers for all of my hardware is also current. I don’t know if my virus protection is causing many problems (i.e. firewall, etc.) Can someone please help?
Thanks.

Your's isn't a dual processor (or simulated dual processor, aka, hyperthreaded) machine, is it? I and many others have found this problem to occur on such machines (when is Apple going to fix this problem?) Some have found forcing iTunes to run on only one processor to be a successful workaround (there are at least a couple freeware utilities out there (I don't recall their names OTTOMH) that will force a PC app to run on only one processor on multi-processor machines, or you can try, after starting iTunes up, cntr-alt-deleting and selecting Task Manager, then in the list of running apps, right-click on iTunes and choose Go To Process, then right-click on the selected process and select Set Affinity, and uncheck one (or all but one if you happen to have more than two processors) of the boxes) but this didn't work for me: I had to physically remove one of my two processors - I haven't had the problem since, so I'm confident that was (is) the problem in my case. (But I'm still ****** 'cause I very purposefully bought a dual processor machine; it just so happens that right now I'm doing more CD importing than dual core work, so for now it's the best solution for me, but I eagerly await the day I hear that Apple has FIXED THIS PROBLEM!)

I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library. I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files

I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.
