Aperture Loosing Photos
A while back ago I navigated to an album in Aperture. All thumbnails displayed correctly but when trying to edit the photos I got an error message associated to some of them. It seems that some of the Master Raw files were vanished from the library. The thumbnails and previews were still available which made the problem undetacable for several months.
Today I navigated to yet another project, which I knew I should contain about 30 photos. I knew I had most of those photos published in a MobileMe gallery but surprisingly, the local project only contains a single picture. All other pictures were gone.
Both of these projects were transfered from my prior iPhoto Library (back when I used to use iPhoto). They still show up just fine in iPhoto which would imply that any error that must have occured did so during or after importing the library.
Has anyone seen this type of problems with their libraries? Does anyone has comments about fixing them or protecting yourself from them? Standard Backups aren't enough. Like I said, it had past a couple of months when I understood that those beautiful thumbanils were pointing to non-existing raw files. By then, both my backups had been replaced with the current and faulty library version.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome.

You'll need to run File->Locate Referenced Files..
Bassically select all images in Aperture that are listed as having a missing or offline master then run the command.
You might want to take a minute and read up on the command in the uer manual before runing it.

I have alot of loose photos at home (old) and I would love to make a bunch of iphoto books and make the pages like whole page collages? How do I get my photos into iphoto in order to do this? Can I make a DVD at the drugstore and add them to iphoto?
You can make the collages easily if you have iWork. Just open a letter sized page in landscape mode and drag the photos onto the page, rotate and postiion as necessary. Then do a Print ➙ PDF ➙ Save PDF to iPhoto to get a 200 dpi jpeg version of the Pages page into iPhoto. From there you can add it to your book and use a blank page with the option to have an image as the backbround.
If you have a 3rd party image editor that supports layers you can create the collage with it.

Address Book Sync looses photo
Have contact in address book on iPhone 4 along with photo. Take photo with iPhone 4 and edit old photo out of address book and insert in new photo. When syncing with iMac, new photo comes in to iMac but totally looses photo in that contact's info. Re-sync with iMac and it doesn't correct problem of lost image in iPhoto. Alternatively, tried taking photo, import in through iPhoto, pasting it into address book on iMac and afterwards syncing to see if it would replace old photo for new and again it simply deleted the old photo in the iPhone 4 and kept the new photo on the iMac address book. Weird!! Have had this issue reproduced every single time when trying to put in new photo-what is the fix?
Unfortunately not. No groups and any Mobile Me account here not even many contacts (436) and any duplicates except in Ical after having restored my iphone 4 times. Something strange too, 2 weeks ago, Isync was running while I'm not registered on MM nor Icloud (turned off on my iphone) . Maybe a conflict between Outlook, Addressbook, Itunes and Isync on SL....I'm going crasy with this issue It reminds me of Windows ! Thx anyway, I'm gooing to contact apple in the following days.

I need to minimize the space photos take on my MacBook Pro OSx 10.7. They are in iPhoto, Aperture, Pictures/Photo Library, etc. Are they taking space in all of these locations?
Are they taking space in all of these locations?
It depends on how you are using iPhoto and Aperture.
iPhoto and Aperture each create their own library files, and the default location for them is in /users/youruseraccount/Pictures
You can configure iPhoto and Aperture to use the same Library file, in which case your photos are only stored once. But if you are using iPhoto & Aperture with independent library files, you may in fact be duplicating your storage.
The second consideration is whether or not you have configured iPhoto and/or Aperture as reference libraries, in which case their library files only reference photos you have stored in other places on your hard drive. Setting them up as reference libraries does not duplicate the photos inside the library files. -
Alzheimer: arbitrarily loosing Photos in iphoto '09
Since about 1 month, iPhoto arbitrarily starts loosing recently added photos.
In iPhoto it still holds the thumbnails, but the referred original file is "lost".
It does not loose photos that were added earlier (before April/May timeframe).
I already tried:
- rebuilding all options by starting iPhoto with the Alt/Option key
- even deleting the current library completely and restoring the complete library from TimeMachine going back to December 09.
It restored everything flawlessly, but when I started to add new pictures, the arbitrary losses kick in again.
Before taking the very last resort - building a completely new library from scratch by importing just the image files while loosing all(!!!) ratings, albums, events, faces, etc. - I really would like to understand what is the culprit (Ignoring the fact that this would be a loss of days or weeks of works).
If it e.g. is a problem introduced by a recent update of iPhoto, I'd rather want to wait for Apple fixing the problem.
I could also go even further back in TimeMachine - but that's just guesswork and always involves days of waiting whether iphoto starts loosing pictures again.
If I directly inspect the folders (rightclick the library in finder and "show package content") and check the content in the "originals" folder, it still contains the link-file (alias) but the target obviously isn't available.
previewing such an alias does't show a thumbnail picture; just a white rectangle.
I also tried the following: make a TimeMachine backup IMMEDIATELY after importing new pictures and verify that the pictures are THERE. Then maybe after a week I notice that 5 out of 150 pictures are only there in tumbnails but no longer the original.
By the way: when TimeMachine tries to restore those pictures, it completely hangs for indefinite time. the only way to interrupt is alt-ctrl-esc.
doesn't seem like a "behavior as designed" for TimeMachine.
So - what do I expect from you guys in the forum?:
- any pointers, that this is a more common problem?
- recently introduced by an update to iLife/iPhote from Apple?
- any methodical suggestion that leads to a better understanding of the root cause.
thanks,

Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
WHat you're experiencing are the effects of a damaged database file.

How to email Aperture library photos from iPhoto
Want to use Aperture library photos (which I can easily view from iPhoto 11) in the beautiful email systems of iPhoto. When I select the Aperture library photos and select Share-email nothing happens, then the Share-email menu becomes grayed out. According to the help available all aperture library shots are fully available for use in iPhoto 11. Any suggestions? Thanks
You hav to move the photos from Aperture to iPhoto to do this.
1. Using the Media Browser you can drag from the browser to the iPhoto Window - this yields the Aperture Previews
2. Export from Aperture to the Finder, import to iPhoto.
That said if you use Apple's Mail.app you can
A: Take advantage of the Stationery feature, which has more templates than iPhoto, more varied thatn iPhoto and others can be downloaded
B: It's a full mail application, with an outbox and so on
C: You can email from Aperture, and so avoid this loop into iPhoto.

I'd like to remove a thin line that is part of the page design in one of Aperture's photo books. I can't seem to make it happen. Any suggestions?
The mouse that came with my Mac does not have a right click feature. When I try to highlight and click, it just opens the link I don't want anymore. What I want to do is remove unwanted links from the top bar. For example, I no longer use GoodSearch or myEarthLink, but I can't delete them. There are also some links that never should have found their way up there, and I don't know how they ended up there, and I can't remove them either. I've read through a ton of questions and answers, and I can't find one that addresses the problem. With my Safari browser, all I have to do to remove an unwanted link is to click and drag it to the trash. It doesn't appear to work that way with Firefox, to my chagrin. I hope this better explains my question. Maybe that will give you a better insight into a solution.

My Wife got an iPhone at work. IT set it up the first time on another machine, they finally install iTunes on her machine but I don't know if she can sync without loosing Photos, SMS, and other things. She had six months of stuff on that phone?
The problem is she can't update to new software until she connect to iTunes, but she don't want to loose all that info.
My question is:
If she register her apple ID on that new computer, and sync the phone, will she loose everything? or iTunes will back up first (because apple id match) and then sync.
Otherwise, how can I do it? The closest apple store is 3 hours away. thanks!Before you connect to a new PC, make sure that autosync is disabled in Edit/Preferences/Devices, otherwise her phone will be wiped during the following sync.
If she has data on the phone she wants to save, back up manually:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to her new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your phone without syncing. Transfer the purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the phone for the first time.

I just noticed that after running an image through dnoise, Aperture looses almost all the metadata. Should this be happening? Is there a way to stop it?
Hi Tony. DNoise is a plug-in, no? Aperture creates copies of images (file format is set in Prefs), and sends them to the plug-in, which then sends them back after changing the file. In essence the plug-in is a completely different application than Aperture. Aperture has many metadata which are not supported by other applications, and some applications don't support the full range of standard image metadata.
One work-around is to copy all the metadata of the original and paste it into the image after it is returned from DNoise. There are no complete solutions for a workflow based on Aperture which includes plug-ins, afaik. -
Aperture loosing track of referenced masters
I'm having a problem with Aperture loosing track of referenced masters. I have more than 10,000 images in Aperture most of them are stored as referenced masters. I have several projects where "some" of the files have (according to Aperture) gone missing. The images were imported into Aperture at the same time, have always been in their current location (in the same directory), and have not been treated any differently than each other. Looking at the files in the grid view doesn't show any differences in the master file location. Does anyone have any idea how Aperture gets confused?
thanks
RichIt seems to be leopard thing, probably connected to either time machine or spaces. There are a number of threads about this, but no real answers as far as I know.

Cannot see Aperture 3 photos in iWeb
I have a huge problem... I am a photographer and am constantly updating my website, however, I cannot see my Aperture 3 photos in iWeb (the folders that I have created over the past few months don't show up at all). I have had to transfer photos from Aperture 3 to my iPhoto library in order to use them in iWeb, which is such a waste of time (and space). Can someone please assist???
If you have not found any problems using DiskUtility, I would suggest that you might try deleting your Aperture preferences file (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945) then re-open Aperture and set your preferences up again. That may resolve the iWeb issue as well as your Export difficulties.
Let us know what happens.
Cheers! -
Does the iPhone sync with Aperture like photo iPods do? And if so does it support RAW files (which current iPods don't)?
As long as you have previews for the photos, the sync should be fine. I shoot raw, and generally keep previews off. But I made a new album just for iphone syncing, dragged in all the photos I wanted (it automatically copies them in without removing them from their home projects) then updated previews, and then told itunes to sync with that new album. All went well.
Note that you can set the resolution of the previews and their quality in Aperture prefs. Mine are far higher than the iphones res. though I'm not sure they're downsampled for iphone's sync. They come out to about 124 k on the iphone, which I know only from emailing one back to myself and checking its size.

Since the upgrade of Aperture, my photos from a year ago are not showing up. When I go to time machine, they show up in the library, but I cant transfer them to my todays aperture because it says the old program needs to be updated. How do I get my pics from a year ago transferred to todays Aperture? Please help!!!!
You will be restoring the old Aperture library from TM, having it on the Desktop is fine.
Once the restore is finished you will have the old Aperture library in that folder. Now you want to open this library by double clicking it (the library). This will open Aperture on it and Aperture will tell you the library needs to be upgraded. Let Aperture upgrade the library.
Once the Library is upgraded to the latest version of Aperture you can do want you want with it. Once you have gotten to this point if you still need help post back.

Difference between iPhoto and Aperture and photo storage
I'm thinking about upgrading from iPhoto to Aperture but I'm a little confused about the differences in the way photo edits are handled. The iPhoto to Aperture page says that Aperture stores photo changes in one photo rather than duplicating them, therefore taking up less space. BUT they also use a unified shared library. So how is it possible for Aperture to handle edits differently if the library is now shared between the two applications?
Aperture may save you some space if you choose not to generate previews, but then you won't be able to integrate with other apps.
As Terence Devlin says. But being able to manage the Previews is quite a space saver. In Aperture you can selectively generate previews only for the photos that you want to share with other applications, and you can specify the size and quality of the previews you want. iPhoto on the other hand will always create previews for all photos, and all in very high quality. In Aperture I delete previews for redundant photos and keep the previews only for my highest ratest photos that I am likely to share with other applications and want to use as a screensaver or slideshow.
If you share your photo library between Aperture and iPhoto and edit a photo in iPhoto, then iPhoto will add a preview for this photo, even if you disabled previews in Aperture.
