Aperture not reading EXIF Image Capture time properly

Hi
I have recently imported a folder of Raw/JPEG files into Aperture as a new project. They previously had been managed in Media Pro. When I sorted the images by date, I found that some (but not all) Raw files didn't have the image capture time recognised. I.e. the image date time was shown as 'Date X time 00:00:00'. These are Olympus ORF files (from the E-M5 and XZ-1. The JPEG files are properly date-stamped.
I have tried to alter the image date/time as per the Metadata menu command. However, although looks like it is doing the job, when next I open the library there is no change to the information and the image is still sorted in the wrong place if I sort by image date.
The wierd thing is that the capture time is correctly shown in the image EXIF (I can see it in EXIF Editor, Olympus Viewer and in Media Pro), but that it isn't being seen by Aperture or OS X properly. Something somewhere has obviously got muddled. Any ideas on how this can be sorted out? It has been driving me mad trying to sort this out!

Here is another example of this effect, but with a different type of subject matter: a ball. The original is a raw file from a Canon 350D/Digital Rebel.
In Aperture's Zoom mode there is a pattern on the ball that looks like Maze Craze:
The pattern is maintained to a lesser degree as the image is sized down:
Exported as Original Size png:
Exported as Half Size png:
Now, as pointed out in the earlier post, the real problem is that other apps do not have this problem. The following is from ACR:
Aside from the pattern, Aperture does look better, but the pattern is nasty and almost makes the image unusable.

I have my photos iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty. when clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

I have my photos in iPhoto but my iPhoto library is empty.When clicked message reads could not be opened image capture cannot open files in the photo library format. How do I get my photos back into my library?

When what is clicked?
There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

How to reorganize folders and photos based on image capture time

I made the mistake of not carefully importing pictures from iPhoto and now have a bit of a mess. My photos show up in the iPhoto Library folder with the year/month/day (when viewing the Lightroom navigator) but then they seem in almost random order. Lightroom doesn't show them under any year/month/date. Is there any way to get Navigator to organize them like it organizes my new imports ? (YYYY/MM/DD etc). I may or may not have lost much of my iPhoto metadata. I was hoping Lightroom could just go through all the pictures (mostly JPG's) and just use the capture time to build it's database.
I have one additional issue which is when I moved machines, Lightroom seems to have bad meta-data for many of my pictures. It's possible that i just put these photos in the wrong physical directory but again, I was hoping I could get Lightroom to just scan the image capture time and put the pictures back where they belong.
Ben

do other kinds of files ever show up in that folder or just those pdf files?
If the latter then it should be pretty simple. make a workflow consisting of a single action "print finder items" (or "print images") and save the workflow as a plugin for folder actions. then attach this folder action to the folder in question. to do that control-click on that folder in finder and go to more->attach a folder action.

I can print to a Lexmark X4550, but not scan (with Image Capture)

Following tips (by "Lexmark Listens" and others) I succeded in printing (via USB and wifi) to a Lexmark X4550.
But when scanning (via USB) using the Image Capture app (included in Mac OS), Image Capture sees the scanner a couple of seconds, then complains that no scanner is connected (although it still is).
This happens with a MacBook (Pro), but not with another MacBook (white).
I tried (not necessarily in this order):
- reboot
- repair disk permissions
- re-installing drivers (both printer driver and "Image Capture Application Scan Driver for for 10.6.8 and later Mac OS") from Lexmark support site.
- running Mac OS software update (which updated the printer driver to version 2.8]
- resetting the printing system: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1341
How can I completely remove all files related to Lexmark printers&scanners and try again installing from a clean state?
(I see in other posts that a Lexmark Uninstaller is sometimes located in HD/Library/Printers/Lexmark/YEAR/ ; I used to have one here, but it was removed during previous attempts at getting the scanner working ; and anyway when I run this Uninstaller at the time, it did not completely clean the /Printer/Lexmark)
My problem is very similar to this one described in this bug report in Lexmark knowledge base:
http://bit.ly/MOR9bd
But the patch proposed is "For Mac OS X 10.6 only" and titled "LexmarkPro800-Pro900SeriesQFE1.0.0.dmg" so I don't think it would work for a Lexmark X4550. (Indeed I installed this patch and the problem is still there).
As for the workaround suggested, "When using Apple's Image Capture application, do not use the "Show Details" option [...]", I can't get it to work: as soon as I launch Image Capture, it starts scanning (a preview) and the "Show Details" bouton is grayed out.
I've already spent many hours trying to get this printer-scanner to work with my Mac.
Any suggestion would be very helpful!

Same issue, sort of. After ML upgrade, Lexmark x264dn fails to register as a printer & scanner, there is no scan tab anymore. Also, image capture application is stuck in a crash loop until I disable mDNS (bonjour) on the printer. Still, it does not register as a scanner anywhere (protoshop, image capture, preview...)
I have installed all the package scripts from Lexmark's Mountain Lion support page. No dice.

Canoscan 4400f not recognized by image capture

My imac with lion installed will not recognize my canoscan 4400f scanner. My white macbook is fine.
I have tried using Cannon software and it tells me no driver is found.

I had the same issue and when I searched for a solution, all I found was your question. So I messed around a bit and got it working.
I'm no computer engineer, so I did about 3 things at once rather than 1 at a time. Thus, I don't know if it was one step or a series of steps that got things working again so I'll tell you what I did and you can take it from there.
I had the iphone 4 connected with the cable. I had image capture running. It listed the proper number of images but I couldn't see the thumbnails and when I downloaded all, the newest ones didn't download.
In image capture, I went to the devices menu and clicked "browse devices" and unchecked iphone. Then I did a hard reset of the iphone by pressing the home and power button at the same time until the apple logo appeared. Image capture said no devices were connected. After the reboot (while still plugged into the USB), image capture showed my phone and all the thumbnails correctly.
I'm guessing it was just the reboot that did the trick.
good luck.

IPhone only shows up as a device in iTunes. Not in iPhoto, Image Capture, or anything else.

Right now, only iTunes sees my iPhone connnected to it. iPhoto doesn't see it, and neither does Image Capture or Xcode. I can sync with iTunes just fine, but I can't get transfer photos from my phone to my MacMini.
I have an iPhone 4 (not 4S) that I recently upgraded to IOS 5. My MacMini is running Lion (10.7.2) & was just purchased last month.

Just checked it. The settings in iPhoto are for "Connecting camera opens: iPhoto"
When I connect the phone, iPhoto will launch, but the iPhone will not show up under devices.
Where's the 2012 version of SCSI Probe when I need it?

My MFU does not appear in Image Capture scanner list

Hi,
I have a brand new Samsung XPress C460FW/TEG MFU connected over WLAN. This appears perfectly in the list in the Printer and Scanner app, the Samsung's own scan software does see it as well. As it is acessible from Hamrick's ViewScan.
But
In the system own Image Capture App it is not there.
What am I doing wrong? How can I expose the scanner to Imapge Capture? It was there before I upgradet to Yosemite. Now I have 10.10.2
Regards and many thanks in advance.

To scan with Image Capture your Samsung needs an ICA driver. The software from Samsung and VueScan most likely support an alternate scanner driver language known as TWAIN. So if you want to scan with Image Capture you need to check with Samsung if they have an ICA driver for your new device.

Synch image capture times.

I just came back from a trip and had two separate cameras shooting 1000's of images. How do I sync the "capture times" between the two sets of images?

Determine how far in minutes and seconds the cameras are apart.
Use the Library Filter to search for all images by one camera.
Select all
Metadata>Edit Capture Time… and adjust the to a specified date and time by the difference in step one.
They should now be in sync.

Canon PIXMA 860 and 560 not recognized by Image Capture

I can scan from the printers to my MacBook. And I go to System Prefernces / Printers and Faxes and both are shown as printers and as scanners. I can open from their and scan but when I open image capture it doesn't find any scanners.
I down loaded and installed both the newest canon printer and scanner drivers as well as the newest ICA driver. Still they are not recognized.
What am I missing?

Just for testing purposes, I removed the canon printer, removed all canon software and updates from my system and then used the original CD that came with my 870 to reinstall the printer and lo and behold, Image Capture started working again for wireless scanning.
Hello and thanks for the feedback.
There are two scanner drivers available for many of the new models of Canon AIOs. There is the ICA driver and the Canon scanner driver.
During my tests on clean builds of 10.6.x I found that my Canon AIOs were able to print and scan via wireless by simply installing the Canon update provided by Apple. This update consisted of the then latest printer driver for many models of Canon AIO and inkjet and the ICA driver. Canon's scanner driver was not included as part of this download from Apple.
The ICA driver is installed in HD > Library > Image Capture > Devices and the package is called Canon IJScanner1. Later versions of the ICA driver also installed another package, Canon IJScanner2. These ICA drivers provide a minimal amount of scanning selections and only appear to work with Image Capture and Preview. Other applications like Canon's own MP Navigator and Adobe Acrobat Pro will not scan with just the ICA driver installed. The Canon scanner driver for the respective model is required.
From what you have said and from my own testing I propose that the original CD did not contain the ICA driver but the Canon scanner driver for the MX870. And with only this driver installed you were able to scan using Image Capture via the wireless. I don't recall ever testing a 10.6 build where only the Canon scanner driver was installed and not the ICA driver (it is present by default on 10.6 but only has older models of Canon AIO's - your MX870 is not there). Had I tested this I believe that I would have been able to scan via wireless using Image Capture.
I also propose that once you installed the Canon v2.4.1 update, which contains a version of the ICA driver package that is also available from Canon web sites, then Image Capture stopped using the Canon MX870 scanner driver and used the ICA driver instead, thus stopping you from wireless scanning.
Right now I am using a new build of 10.6.6 on my MBPro. So that I could print to my MP990 at home and an MG6150 at work I simply installed the v2.4.1 update and have printer and scanner queues in Print & Fax for both. I have not installed scanner drivers for either device and at home with my MP990 Image Capture does not show any device being available, while Preview does show the MP990 once I select 'Import from Scanner > Include Networked Devices'. Also, Acrobat Pro 9 does not show my MP990 being available.
And with regards to the v2.4.1 update, the drivers included are provided by Canon to Apple, just as the other vendor drivers are provided to Apple, to make life easier for us Mac users. The drivers are available individually and get downloaded and installed automatically when the respective model is connected to the Mac and no local driver is present. As for the package including all these individual vendor drivers, this would be created by Apple.

Aperture not reading DNGs created from some E-M5 raw files

Aperture happily read DNGs created from dpreview's Olympus E-M5 sample raw files using Adobe DNG Converter version 6.7.0.339. However, it refuses to read the raw files created by E-M5. Is anyone getting this to work? If so, how?
—Andreas

Check the version of the Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update that is installed. Your camera should be supported by update 3.13: The version of the raw support is shown in the About panel: from the main menu bar:
Aperture > About Aperture
Supported by Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.13
Canon EOS-1D X
Nikon D800E
Nikon D3200
Olympus OM-D E-M5
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-GF5
Sony Alpha SLT-A57
Download the latest from here:
Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 3.14
If you have the latest raw support installed, but Aperture does not recognize the format, try to register the raw support for your camera with the launch services db, see this post by Alan Roseman:
Re: Aperture 3 preview of raw file greenish
But also read the following post, that explain how this is supposed to work and to correct the typo in the command
In short: Quit Aperture, open the terminal, paste the follwing text in (all in one single line) and hit return; then reboot the system.

Iphone and iPad not appearing in Image Capture

IPhoto 09 not reading Nikon raw files (.nef) properly?

Hey everyone. Over the weekend I upgraded from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything seemed to be working correctly until I started using iPhoto. Since the upgrade, I've noticed that photos that I imported from a Nikon D700 seem to look pixelated. I took it to a Genius Bar and the dude helping me was at a loss. He said to try and re-install Snow Leopard, which I did, and that didn't help. I went back and he upgraded me to iPhoto 09...also didn't help. He said he thinks that maybe it's Snow Leopard/iPhoto bug. He said that it's not reading the raw files correctly and seeing them as thumbnails. We looked at the photo info of a random photo, and even though it was a large 10MB file (indicative of raw format) its pixels were 160x160. Weird. Also of note, both Photoshop and Lightroom view and display all photos correctly.
If anyone has any suggestions or solutions on how to fix this it'd be much appreciated!!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
We looked at the photo info of a random photo, and even though it was a large 10MB file (indicative of raw format) its pixels were 160x160.
That means that what you're seeing is the jpeg Preview inside the NEF and not the actual file.
My guess is that the your Camera Raw bundle is damaged.
Go to
HD / System / Library / Core Services / RawCamera.bundle
What version of this do you have?

Safari is not showing some images from web properly

Hi. Since last week some pictures from web are not showing properly on safari & mail apps.
Whenever I go to websites with relatively many images, some of the images are only showing top halves and the bottom halves are solid black.
This has never happened before.
As it was so annoying, I've tried deleting safari history, cookies, and web data, and I also tried network reset.
None of them worked.
What's weird is that this issue doesn't happen when I'm using wifi, but happens when I use LTE.
My signal dots are full 5, and LTE is still faster than my wifi.
what can I try next?

You can fix the issue temporarily by going to Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data. Note that this will log out of any website you were logged in to, and will clear your browsing history (if you use suggested websites from your history when going to new pages), but it will reset the cache containing the incorrect images.
Another way to fix this issue temporarily is to use Settings > Safari > Advanced > Website Data and swipe to delete only those domains that have incorrect images. This does the equivalent of clearing website data, but only for the specific site removed. Note that images are frequently served from different domains than the host site, so you must clear the domains where the images are stored. Also, this page doesn't have a way to filter the list, so you must look through it manually, which is why I don't suggest it as the first option.
BTW, the majority of posts reporting this issue appear to be AT&T customers.
