Aperture/iPhoto issue

some of my images in Aperture/iPhoto are appearing pixelated. any idea on how to get the issue fixed

Now my console is producing the following message when I try to import a iPhoto Library:

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser

Aperture/iPhoto - Use Unified Library or import iPhoto into Aperture?

So as it is June 30th, I've been forced into upgrading to Lion. Now I know I can take advantage of the Aperture/iPhoto unified library structure.
But should I?
I am new to Aperture and use it for photos starting in January 2012 going forward. I have already upgraded to Aperture 3.3. I am still currently running iPhoto 8.1.2 for photos from 2011 and earlier. My plan was to eventually import my iPhoto library into Aperture. Now it appears I don't have to.
So I'm standing at a crossroads and I'd like feedback. I have read some of the discussions where folks are having issues with migration with both avenues so I'd like to know which one makes more sense.
Should I upgrade to iPhoto 9.3? Should I keep each library separate? Should I merge? Should I import iPhoto into Aperture still and have one library going forward?
Looking for folks with some experience to give me guidance!
Thanks in advance!
Chrystal in TX

Merge them. When you upgrade to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 the programs use the same library format... you can open it in either one.
Note people rarely post feedback about something if it's working for them, so results will always be skewed toward the negative online. Still, it makes sense to have a backup before upgrading, as a general best practice.

I reinstalled my system on a new hard drive, from time machine. However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture. iphoto seems okay. Have you heard of this?

Thanks

We need a little more information to be able to help.
However my old photos seem corrupt within aperture.
What kind of corruption? And when do you see it? All your images, or only some? Are the images distorted, discolored, or not displayed at all?
Are you shooting in raw? Is your library referenced or managed? Is your library on your system volume or on an external harddrive?
And it would help to know your MacOS version and Aperture version too.

Dark photos from Aperture, iPhoto or Drag and drop

All imported photos (from aperture, iphoto or drag&droped) whitin a project are very dark in the viewer, and in the final video (itunes, export with several options...). The histogram levels of the image are low. The preview image in the project looks fine.
I tried repair permissions with disk Utility, system clean with Onyx... the problem remains.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem, but only after I installed the iMovie 9.0.1 update. Before then my still images looked fine when imported.
But now, my pictures are coming up so dark as to be unusable. I was forced to export them as slideshow movies from iPhoto and import them as clips to iMovie last time I tried to use still images.

Two iPhoto Issues

I'm having two different iPhoto issues...
I have no problem opening iPhoto, both occur when I try to open the picture or video.
First, I have an issue with many of my photos that show up in the library as thumbnails but when I click on them to open a larger view, they open up for just a second and then disappear. iPhoto remains open, but the place where the pic would be is solid black. I can't figure out why this happens with some pics and not others or how to make it stop.
Second, I have a permission issue with mostly videos. When I double click to open the video a box pops up with the "Finder" log on it that gives the following message:
You do not have permission to open the document IMG_0041.MOV.
Contact your computer or network administrator for assistance.
When this happens, I'm logged in as the computer's administrator and I don't know how to fix this either.
If anyone can help in any way, I would greatly appreciate it. Both of these are extremely frustrating.
Thanks,
One.Three

What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later:
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the options to check and repair Library permissions.

Aperture/iPhoto support

Any ideas on when Aperture/iPhoto will have raw support fo Sony A7II ?

Since iPhoto and Aperture are now dead, there is going to be no reason for Apple to upgrade RAW Support under OS X for the pro cameras any longer because no one with a pro camera is going to use that toy they are calling Photos in the future.

After installing aperture, iPhoto won't open

After installing Aperture, iPhoto says it needs to be updated to open. When I run the updater, it says everything is up to date. Suggestons? thanks, Kevin

Did iPhoto come preinstalled on your Mac? Then you need to upgrade it from the AppStore, not from the Update menu.

Sync BOTH Aperture & iPhoto library

Hello!
Is there a way to sync both Aperture & iPhoto library onto an iDevice? I know that I can import the iPhoto library to Aperture but this does not solve my problem.
I update both libraries separately as I use Aperture for RAW images which were taken with a DSLR and iPhoto for other image files from point-and-shoot cameras or mobile devices.
If I import iPhoto into Aperture and then later update the iPhoto library then the new images do not show up in Aperture or my iDevice.
Thank you.

I'm using they both to get more free space.
Using two libraries in different applications to manage the same data does not get you "more free space". Precisely the opposite, in fact.
Unless you have a specific need for using iPhoto as well as Aperture, you should simply elect to use one and forget about the other. Pick one horse and ride it.

Having installed Aperture iPhoto won't open. When I try it fails with the message "You can't open the iPhoto.app because it may be damaged or incomplete. Any help please?

OK, fixed it. Found that iPhoto is now BACK in the App store.
Found iPhoto app in Finder and dragged it to Trash.
Downloaded iPhoto from App store and all now back working again.
Didnt expect to find iPhoto in App store as last time I looked it wasn't available.

Aperture iPhoto Import

I imported my iPhoto library into a trial version of Aperture (Aperture will manage the directory). iPhoto manages the photos by putting them in by year in the "Masters" directory, then by event name. I noticed that the Aperture iPhoto import placed all my photos into 2011 directory instead of the same file structure in iPhoto. Is there a way to get Aperture to manage my imported photos and place the photos in a file stucture by year?
I do not intend to monkey around with the iphoto or aperture library's, but I do want the photos stored in a fasion that I could move on to some other program if needed in the future.
Thanks Gary

None taken, I am just one of those that want to know how Aperture is handling my photos. My search in the manual and in this forum did not help entirely, until now. You are right it does not matter how Aperture handles the bundle as long as you want to continue to use Aperture. I thought it was strange that iPhoto handles it one way and Aperture handles it another. I like the way iPhoto places my photos in by year. It appears that Aperture will also do this but only for my pictures this day forward. My concern is for the future, and for something that may never happen, but I plan for it anyway. If I decide to make another change in the future, I would want to make sure at least the pictures are structured by year. I should be able to go into the Aperture bundle and copy the masters out if needed. I was hoping I could get the imported photos structure by year. I do like Aperture so far and will more than likely make the purchase.

HT4007 Lost Link to Aperture/iPhoto combined library procedues

Aperture & iPhoto referenced library issues

Hi,
For the last couple of days I've been busy trying to get my Aperture library to work properly. I recently started using a referenced library because of lack of space on my internal ssd. I've generated previews on all of my 40000 photos. I can see all of my Projects, thumbnails, metadata etc. when my external drive is disconnected. However, there are two major issues:
1) Most of the video thumbnails are broken, both in Aperture and iPhoto. By double clicking a thumbnail of a video (.mov, .avi etc.) it sometimes starts playing, sometimes it doesn't, totally inconsistent. I can export the video and it works just fine.
2) While using iPhoto with the external drive disconnected, all Events are there, the thumbnails are there, everything looks ok, but I can only view some of the previews/photos after double clicking the thumbnails. A dialogue opens up saying "The volume for [imagefilename] cannot be found. Insert the disk or connect to the server volume..", but I can actually see the full size preview behind this dialogue. By clicking "Cancel" the photo dissapears and is replaced by a black screen with a grey exclamation mark. This does not occur while using Aperture, I can see all of my previews in full glory when the external drive is disconnected. However, with the external drive connected everything works in iPhoto (except above mentioned issue with videos).
Please boys and girls, help me out with this!
System information
OS: Maverick 10.9.1
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhoto: 9.5.1
Thanks!
//Michel

I don;t use iPhoto much so I'm no expert but looking at other posts asking a similar question sems to indicate iPhoto is not capable of doing this.
See Can iPhoto view pictures on a disconnected external drive in a unified photo library? for one example.
Again if Aperture is working correctly on the referenced images on the disconnect drive and iPhoto is not you will need to ask the iPhoto folks.

Aperture + iPhoto for iOS resolution issues

I'm trying to test out syncing some of my photos from Aperture 3.2.3 to iPhoto for iOS 1.0 (173) on an iPhone 4S in anticipation of getting my new iPad. Unfortunately, I'm running into problems. It seems no matter what I do, my images appear as 3.6MP.
My understanding is that iTunes syncs the previews generated by Aperture to iOS devices instead of the original files. I'd be happier with the originals, but I can live with just previews. My main goal right now is to use the iPhone/iPad as a sorting device: eliminate the garbage and then do final editing on my color calibrated iMac.
In Aperture, I've made a test project that I'm syncing with iTunes. I only have one photo in there. In Aperture's Preferences, under Previews, I set the following:
New Projects automatically generate previews: checked
Use embedded JPEG from camera when possible: unchecked
Share previews with iLife and iWork: Always
Photo Preview: Don’t Limit
Photo Preview quality: 12 High
I Deleted the Preview of my image, then Generated a Preview (holding option while right clicking). I quit both Aperture and iTunes and relaunched Aperture. Launched iTunes, unsynced my Project with my phone, opened iPhoto on the phone to make sure the image/project was gone, quit iPhoto on phone and resynced.
I’m still ending up with a 3.6MP image even though the original is 16.1MP (5.01MB).
Images from the built in camera on the iPhone 4S show up as full 8MP images, so I don’t think it’s a megapixel limitation.
I just tried Exporting a Master from Aperture to a folder and then syncing that folder. Same exact issue occurs after syncing with iTunes: 16.1MP image changes to 3.6MP. 3264x4928 px changes to 1536x2319 px.
I wonder if it’s an iPhone limitation. I’ll have to do more testing when my iPad arrives.

I believe the the Previews are optimised for use on the iOS device, hence the reduced size.

Moving from iPhoto to Aperture small issue...

Please go easy as I just made it to Aperture
So my iphoto library is gotten too big.
I am ready to make the move (editing skills are out growing iPhoto).
I installed Aperture last week and did a ton of research on how to make the move.
I even watched some apple video that seemed to make it DEAD simple.
So today I was ready....
I went to
file->import->library
I pointed the pop up window to my iphoto library.
Then hit import.
My iphoto library is 30.5 GB so I knew it would take some time....
I watched the progress bar do its thing.
Once it was done there were only two "images" in my Aperture library.
but all my albums/projects were listed.
No other photos were presant and the Apeture library is only 8 mb in size?
Might anyone be able to assist me in trouble shooting this?
I thought I did ALL my research and had all my bases covered.
Thanks in advance!

Nathan,
there is really no need to apologize. It was just that from your opening sentence "as I just made it to Aperture" I assumed, that you do not yet have set up an Aperture library that needs keeping. And then Frank's solution, simply using the iPhoto library as your Aperture library without need to import anything would have been the best option. Your iPhoto library is already an Aperture library and does not need any conversion.
So to be cleare you suggest that I import my iPhoto library into the Aperture library?
Only, if you want/need to unite your current Aperture Library with the iPhoto library. Do you already have invested work into your Aperture library and does it contain images you want to continue using? Then merging would save you from having to switch between libraries.
file->import->library
I pointed the pop up window to my iphoto library.
Then hit import.
My iphoto library is 30.5 GB so I knew it would take some time....
I watched the progress bar do its thing.
That is exactly as it is done. The screenshot shows only two videos. What is the size of your library after importing? Has the Aperture library grown by 30.5 GB? If yes, then I would open the library in iPhoto to check, if your photos are in the "hidden" album. Aperture cannot show photos, that have been hidden in iPhoto.
Regards
