Aperture Not Seeing All Pictures in IPhoto Folder to Import

Ok- Another question...
I tried importing a folder or event from IPhoto into Aperture and there are 124 pictures in the IPhoto folder, including jpeg and raw photos. Aperture only sees 3 of them... do I need to change some setting somewhere??
thanks,
Georgette

Thanks for the tip about hiding the movies.
To make this easier try the following:
Create a new smart folder in iPhoto called Movies, set the match to "Photo is Movie".
This will allow you to select all movies in one go, you can then hide them, import the photos you need into Aperture.
Use "cmd Z" to undo the hide as you can't unhide the movies from the smart folder as it appears empty.
I have just done the above and saved myself loads of time as I started splitting the movies out of the events I wanted to import, which defeats the object of events.
I too will be sending feedback to Apple over this as this is definitely a bug. The import dialogue should just display the photos and ignore the movies.

  • Aperture Not Seeing All Pictures on Camera to Import

    Hi-
    I am having a problem getting Aperture to read or see and therefore import all the pictures on my camera disk. IPhoto recognized and imported them all. I am at a loss as to why Aperture doesn't see them.
    Any ideas?
    thanks

    Scrags... I think you meant change the USB setting to MSC (Mass Storage). I've been unable to import from my D300 into Aperture 2.1.1 using MTP/PTP. Also, D700 users should note that Apple just today released RAW Compatibility Update 2.2:
    http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/digitalcamerarawcompatibilityupdate22.htm l
    The D300 has been supported since 10.5.2.
    Thank you for your tip! Hopefully, Apple will fix this bug in Aperture 2.1.2.

  • Not seeing all photos in iPhoto, but all appear in Aperture

    I just updated to Mountain Lion and updated iPhoto and Aperture.  I noticed, and had a slight heart attack, that only 5000 of my 51000 photos were shown in iPhoto!  I then opened Aperture and happily see all 51000 photos.  I am using the same iPhoto libray and not sure if there is some setting that I am missing on iPhoto that is hiding a majotity of my pictures.  I need to have both applications access the same library, I use Aperuture and my Wife uses iPhoto.  Any sugesstions on what I may have done wrong?

    Are you using Stacking in Aperture?

  • IMovie '09 does not see certain pictures in iPhoto

    I made some panoramic pictures from other images taken and added them to my iPhoto '09 library. iMovie doesn't seem to see these pictures, even though they are saved and accessible in iPhoto. Everything is updated and I have tried closing and reopening both applications as well as restarting my computer. Does anyone have any ideas, or is there another way to import these pictures?
    Thanks!

  • All pictures in 1 folder after import - problem?

    Hi,
    due to a hardware change (I´m now an iMac Owner ;)) I had to import all my photos into iPhoto.
    Previously I did a copy of all my photos on an external hard drive, unfortunately without any folder structure. In other words all phtos (approx. 9.000 photos) were inside 1 folder on the external hard drive.
    After importing the photos iPhoto automatically put all the files/pictures into the folder ORIGINALS but also without any subfolder. In the meantime I have of course splitted one respective event into 40-50 accordingly inside iPhoto.
    Overall a new photo structure was planned anyway!
    Question:
    Is it a problem of speed or any other issue if iPhoto has to search always through the whole folder when accessing a single photo. I did not get any warning when importing the photos within the iPhoto application. Or is it only a question of folder structure inside iPhoto without any limits related to speed or possible other issues? Or will be originals inside iPhoto never touched?
    Does it make sense to split the original files within the folder ORIGINALS into subfolder? AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
    I hope someone understand my nonsens ..

    AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
    Very right. Doing that will corrupt the Library.
    Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
    It makes no difference whatever how iPhoto stores the photos inside the Library Package. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and there is never a need for you to go into the Library package at all.
    So, organise your photos in the iPhoto Window

  • Help - 2nd user account cannot see all pictures in iPhoto library

    For some reason, if my son logs into his account and brings up iPhoto, he can only see images through 2009. I'm lost on this one. Any ideas to try? Thanks!

    Figured this one out the more I looked at it - bottom line is the other account was somehow still pointing at an old library on an external HD. That's not really what I was wanting though.
    I've posted my need as a separate topic here- please advise. Thanks!

  • I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I dont't like pre-visualization for photos.

    I have photos in a DVD. In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them? Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing? If not, is there any application with this functionality? I need an app that allows me to navigate through the photos without selecting all of them. I realy dont't like pre-visualization for photos...

    In order to visualize them in iPhoto, must I necessarily import them?
    iPhoto is a Database. Before it can work with any data it must be imported to the database, so yes it is necessry to import them.
    Can't I see the pictures from the media without importing?
    See above.
    If not, is there any application with this functionality?
    Hundreds. Any image viewer will do the job. On your Mac the Finder has QuickLook and there is the Preview app as well. Online you can download any of these:

  • I have on my MacBook both iPhoto and Aperture and want to purchase iPhoto for iPad. If I do so, will I be able to see all my MacBook iPhoto progress (places, faces, events, etc) on the iPad app ? Via icloud or some other feature tht work like PhotoStream?

    just some notes in addition to Ralphs answer: Your iPad is very useful to browse and show off your photos, i.e. the Retina iPad. You can sync to the iPad via iTunes or using the Photo Stream or a shared Photo Stream.  But if you can browse and store all your photos on the iPad, will depend on the available storage on your iPad. Using iTunes you can sync events, albums, faces stacks, places stacks to your iPad. Not many metadata tags will transfer however.

    Trouble With Syncing Mac Photo Stream to iPhone

  • Can Aperture not be set up to show a "Last Import" smart folder?

    I'm trying to make the transfer from using iPhoto to using Aperture.
    One thing I found really great in iPhoto was the smart folder that was simply set to show the last import, no matter when that import was done - whether it was today, yesterday or 6 months ago.
    The reason I found this so handy was because I set my iPad up in iTunes to only sync the photos from that Last Import smart folder, rather than all my photos.
    That way, every time I synced my iPad, I always had my most recent photos on my iPad, no matter when the pictures were taken.
    Now with Aperture, I cannot see a way to create anything similar. The best I can do is to create a smart folder with photos imported within the last month, let's say.
    But the problem with that is that if I haven't imported any new photos for over a month, then the next time I sync my iPad, then all my photos will no longer be on the iPad.
    If I create a longer timeframe, to let's say 3 months, then I might end up with way too many photos trying to sync across, and that's something I don't want. I could end up with hundreds and hundreds of photos, and I don't have the free space to be able to do this!
    When I used "Last Import" with iPhoto, then I always only had around 50 or 60 photos, because that's just generally how many I usually imported at any one time. Sometimes it was more, sometimes less, but the average worked for me.
    So to sum up: Can Aperture not be set up to show a "Last Import" smart folder, regardless of date?
    Or alternatively, is there any way I could "hack" or "trick" Aperture into doing something like this so that I always have a managable amount of the most recent photos on my iPad?

    Hello Brett,
    that does not seem to be an easy probem as you discovered.
    Some Workarounds:
    You might to use a smart album rule "Import session is" instead of a date range, but that will not be automatic.
    Create a folder "recently added" and keep your recent projects inside that folder; create a smart album at the top level of that folder; move older projects somewhere else.
    Or enable the Photo Stream - that is the current replacement for the "most recently added" album; it will (is supposed to) always show the most recent 1000 images.
    If you are familiar with AppleScript, you can make Aperture run an AppleScript on import (Import Settings) to add your imported image to an album of new images. From time to time remove the older images.
    Sorry, but no really convenient way to do it..
    Regards

  • I can see the pictures in iPhoto but when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big !

    I can see the pictures in iPhoto but suddenly this morning when I try to open a picture I get a grey box with a big "!" Please help!

    You really should run check for updates. It's up to 9.1.3 now.
    Option 1
    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. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    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. .

  • System Preferences not showing all pictures in Desktop & Screensaver

    This problem only happened recently, whenever i go into system pref to change my desktop i do not see all the preview pics from my picture folder. Even though i do not see them in the system pref window i can still click on them and it will still set them as my desktop. Would having alot of high res pictures make them not show in system pref?
    Ibook g4 12''   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    it is possible that with a large volume of large res pix in that folder that the little "preview icons" take some time to generate. Also, i have noticed that not all my graphic files will generate a "preview" even if the app in question can utilize and read the file.

  • Can not see all the clips in large Icon view in my bin

    I arranged my clips in a bin in large Icon view but i can not see all the clips in the bin while in that mode. I see the clips when in list mode or when i drag them out of the bin into the main bin. As soon I drag them back in large icon view bin they do not show up, when going back in list view they are there.
    Any idea
    Also my daughter accidently pulled the electrical plug, which turned my external hard drive off. So the media was off line. I hit reconnect the clip but the clip does not show as connected in the bin it keeps the Media offline icon but putting the clip in the viewer or time line it plays it. So the clip is reconnected
    hope anybody can help with those two issues thanks

    Nick
    thanks for your message it helped to show the clips. Here how I solved it. I put the clips i could not see in large Icon view, to the Project folder. Even in the project folder I was only seeing the clips with Thumbnail in list view. When i hit large Icon view the clips disappeared, and they could not have been lower down as i only have about 5 folders in the project. I then clicked arrange the clip by name and they showed up again. Like that i dragged the clip back in to its bin and it showed up. The reason for going back and forth I arranged the clips manually in the bin before and when hitting arrange by name it spread them to far apart and put the clips not in a sequence I liked.
    for the second part I followed Neil's suggestion it worked.

  • Can not See All of my Music Library on the play list

    I accidently moved my music library (My documents/My music/my itunes...)
    When I moved it back, iTunes does not see all the song (over 2000). It only see the purchased music. I can use the Add to Library function (In the File menu) and add each song, song by song and I have added a few dozen songs back to the play list. So all the music is there, in the directory, Just can not get iTunes to recogize them.
    ANY suggestions to adding the whole library back at once.
    Thanks

    Do you at least have the little ! (exclamation point) next to the "missing" songs?
    I just had the same thing happen to me, but mine occurred simply by upgrading to the latest version of iTunes... in the process it "lost" about half of my music.
    I simply unchecked "Keep iTunes Music folder organized" under prefrences/advanced tab.. hit "OK", then went back in and re-checked it, hit OK and iTunes began "organizing" my library and miraculously iTunes found all of the missing music.
    There are some decent articles about moving your iTunes library on the support site. They don't always work as advertised, but you're pretty much stuck with My Documents/My Music/iTunes on Windows.
    You may be able to reverse things by following those instructions as well.

  • On my iPhone 5 (since activating with iTunes Match), I CAN NOT see all my music. There are artists that I can not see, nor their songs. BUT I can see them on the iPad3 and on iTunes on my PC.

    I can NOT see all my songs on iPhone5 since activating iTunes Match about a week ago!
    ALL songs are available on my iPad3
    ALL songs are available on my Win7 computer iTunes
    I just did:
    Transfer purchases from iPhone and a Music Sync
    NOTHING. Tunes and artists are still NOT SHOWING on my iPhone5\
    BUYING another copy makes it available on te iPhone, but at double the price
    However, some show as PURCHASED, so I can't get another copy on the iPhone
    There are MAJOR PROBLEMS with iTUNES MATCH!
    This problems is ONLY on the iPhone 5

    It might take a while (30 minutes or more) for the initial sync to finish.
    When it finishes, here's how to see all you desktop bookmarks:
    # Press the "Search" button on your Android phone, or tap in the Firefox address bar.
    # Press the "Bookmarks" button (with a star icon).
    # Tap the "Desktop Bookmarks" folder.
