Aperture Photo Sets Empty?

I just got my iPhone. I go to sync my photos from Aperture, but only from a few select albums/sets. The ones I click on appear to be empty. The number of photos counter at the top stays at zero. When I sync, there are no photos on the iPhone. What gives?

Problem solved!
After looking at a few other threads and getting Pro App support on the phone I found out that it's a combination of needing to recreate the previews and be sure to have "share with iLife & iWork" in preferences turned on.
Right click (control click) on a project and at the bottom, first "delete the previews." Then click it again and select "update previews." After it's done, you should be able to view the photos in iTunes and sync them to your iPhone.

Why does iPhoto/Aperture keep deleting photo sets from my Flickr account or keep placing whole sets back into the Pending stage of uploading the photos. This is becoming very frustrating and extremely time consuming. Any help would be most welcome

Has anyone got any idea as to why Iphoto/aperture keeps deleteing my photo sets from my Flickr account without warning or reason given. Also when I enter my sets the program will revert all of the photos back to the Pending stage of the up oading process. One or two photos I could live with but some of my set are in excess of 1500 photos per set, and this becomes very very time consuming to re upload them. and whats more annoying on some occassions after spending 12 to 16 hours re uploading them I find that they have all been duplicated. Is there a Bug with Iphoto or Aperture????????
any help would be most welcome P Jefferys

I am using Iphoto version 9.5.1, and No I am not deleting any photo from any file. what happens is this :- I open up Iphoto and enter my flickr account via the shared folder icon on the left hand side of the screen this is when I get a pop up screen from Iphoto informing me that they have removed a SET of photos from my Flickr account (no reason given) when i go into that set all I can see is dashed empty square where the photo used to be. I will then get another pop up screen saying that Iphoto can no longer access my flickr account and will I permit a reconnection and allow Iphoto to access my flickr account (add pass words etc) when I get back into flickr the SETS have gone and all other photos enter the Pending stage again. After re uploading the missing photos I find that some 50% of them have been duplicated.

I have an external hard drive set up as a Time Machine backup on my IMac. I want to add a second external hard drive and put my Aperture Photo Library on it. Is there a way to have the photos on this second hard drive automatically back up to the Time Mac

I have an IMac with an external hard drive set up as a Time Machine for automatic backups. I want to add a second external hard drive and load my Aperture Photo Library on to it so that the library can be shared by both me and my wife. Is there a way to automatically backup the photo library that will be on the second hard drive to the Time Machine hard drive?

Open System Preference > Time Machine
Click Options....
Ckick on external disk in list and hit the - button below the list to remove from the Exclusion list

My aperture library is empty after photos merge

After my update to photos, my aperture library is empty. I understand I am still supposed to see all my photos in aperture.
Have tried to restore library to no avail. Also having problems uploading from my canon d40 With aperture it was fast and easy with photos it takes forever and has troubles uploading the pictures.
Any ideas?

I had this problem post-Photos as well. When I opened Aperture, there were no photos. Going to File -> Switch to Library, I noticed that there were two libraries labelled "Aperture Library". In the Pictures folder in Finder, I noticed that the newer library is 7.9 MB, but the older is 148.21 GB. I made sure to select the older library. Aperture had to repair the library database, it took a while, then it opened up as usual. Maybe this will help you, too.
The Photos app is not going to work for me - too little editing options, no NIK support, etc. It's nowhere near a professional alternative, but I guess that was Apple's intention with the app. Oh well, I have a little while to keep using it before shifting to Lightroom or Capture One.

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

Can't share Aperture photos with iWork and iLife

I can't see my Aperture photos in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 application. I am running 1.5.4; sharing previews is enabled in Aperture Prefs; previews for my entire Library set to 1280px (and there are definitely previews for every master image). However, I see nothing in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 app – no Aperture 'disclosure triangle' in the Media pane. Nothing. Zip.
I have rebuilt the Aperture database (Command + Option on start-up) for all 242 projects, but still no go.
The only thing I think it could be is that my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' (all 95GB of it) is stored in its entirety on a different hard drive, with an alias pointing to it from my '~/user/Pictures' folder on my boot drive (which it shares with iPhoto Library). I thought alias' were supposed to be transparent to the OS and the other apps would be able to see my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' as if it were on my primary drive (i.e., the same drive). Is there a permissions thing happening here?
This one has got me stumped. Any thoughts on why I can't share my Aperture photos with iWork '08 or iLife '08 would be gratefully received.

Solved it!!!
I just went a little berserk with the plist files in ~/user/Library/Preferences (sorry, not very scientific....).
Interestingly, in addition to iWorks and iLife apps having their own preference files, there is also a file called 'com.apple.iApps.plist'. This was locked for some reason. Anyway, it and all the other pref files got trashed and then the trash emptied. Then I restarted my Mac and opened up iPhoto.
Bingo!
Same for Pages, etc.
Thanks to all who took time out of their day to help me -- much appreciated.

I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5. I copied photos from recent - last import into albums. I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library. Have I lost them all?

OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:

Aperture photos not showing up in other apps

I just noticed that all my aperture photos arent showing up in other applications that provide an aperture hook. EXCEPT for the latest images that I have imported.
All my images are the and I can see the folders fine in other apps, but they show empty. I did have to do an archive and install lately so am sure that I had some files that didnt make it over..
How can I recreate my library in order to fix this?
am not missing anything in aperture, just the integration with other apps, I tried exporting and then importing my library but lost all the organization that i had done. so reverted
thanks.

I had updated the previews with no luck, I just restored my library from the vault and it is rebuilding everything now.
that worked! maybe update previews was different than a rebuild of previews, but i didnt see that option.
thanks

How to share Aperture photos

Just got 3rd generation Apple TV - does anyone know how to get Aperture photos to show up? I've set up home sharing

In the iTunes application go to file > homesharing and choose the photos you wish to share, click apply/sync and you should then be able to select the photos on the Apple TV.

Cannot share aperture photos

I can no longer share aperture photos with apple TV using home sharing in iTunes. This happened just recently, probably since 05/01; however, only notice a few days ago that this is happening. I have aperture since Jan/11 and shared photos normally. I can select aperture from drop-down menu in iTunes, but the total photos shared shows 0 (I have at least 9000 photos in aperture database). Please help!

I also had the same problem, but was able to resolve the problem by creating a brand new Aperature library, and then importing my old library into it. I made sure that the Aperature preferences were set to share everything, and when I went back into Apple TV it could see all my photos.
This could be a real pain if you don't have enough disk space, to copy your entire library, but I didn't have this problem.

Aperture photos don't show on iTunes synch

Synching with iPhoto works fine, butI can't see any photos when attempting to synch to Aperture. As noted in another post, Projects don't show up. It does see smart albums, but with a zero photo count for all. Any thoughts on why? Do Aperture photos have to be managed in the library vs referenced in order to be seen and synched? [All of my photos are references to outside image files.] Does it matter that the Aperture library is maintained in a non-standard location?

in the photos tab of the A-TV setup, there's a label near the top that says, "Sync photos from:" and a pull-down menu next to it. from here you can choose either iPhoto or Aperture. you have to have Aperture selected in order to sync them and see your albums.
also, make sure that you've got at least Aperture 1.5, but preferably 1.5.2 and that you've got previews turned on and being generated for new albums. finally, there's also a setting in the preferences to share the previews with other iLife apps. i think iTunes needs that to be able to see/sync photos.

My aperture photos are dark/

My aperture photos are dark? any ideas?

Are you shooting raw?
Then have a look at Keith Barkley's recent user tip. That explains, why raw photos may change the appearance on import, see this link:
The Big Three: Setting your camera for the best Aperture RAW results
Don't take photos with Canon's Highlight Tone Priority or Nikon's Active D-Lighting enabled in the camera, if you want to be able to judge the raw file in the camera while taking the photo.

ITunes won't see all Aperture photos

I have a rather large Aperture photo library (30,000 photos), and I like to view various groups of photos on my iPod Touch and also on my Apple TV. In both cases, however, iTunes won't let me choose all of the available projects and albums. In some instances, it will recognize the album but won't see any photos. In this particular scenario, the album has about 1500 photos of jpeg and Canon Raw types. Is this a known problem or am I configuring Aperture albums incorrectly for iTunes compatibility?
I have Aperture 2.0.1, Leopard and iTunes 7.6.1. The iPod Touch is at 1.1.4 and Apple TV is running 2.0 of the OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Somewhat similar issue here. No new photos are being added to the iPhone via iTunes sync and iTunes does not seem to update itself with the Aperture library at all. I have photos in the "Last Week" smart album in Aperture (empty) while the iPhone displays 57 photos that are now pushing a month old.
The problem is exactly the same with the sync to Apple TV, so I figure the common link (iTunes) is likely the culprit -- though I guess it's possible that Aperture is not sharing the info with iTunes.
The problem seemed to have appeared with iTunes 7.6 and persists with 7.7.1. and with the most-recent Aperture update.
I completely trashed the .plist files for iTunes a week or so ago to no avail.

I am in Aperture photos-browser - view. Amtrying to find "sort" by file name to elimanate duplcates. Sort option does not appear. Not sure what I am doing wrong.

I am in Aperture -photos - browser - view. Am trying to find "Sort" by filename to elimate duplicates. I cannot find "sort in Viewer and not sure what I am doing wrong. Help

This is what the top of the Viewer should look like:
Here is the same view with the pulldown opened:

Raw files in aperture photo books

Hi,
I'm creating my first aperture photo book. I uploaded raw files to aperture, made adjustments, and then placed the versions into the book. It is these versions (with all crops, adjustments, etc.) that will show up in my photo book, correct? (That's what it looks like when I preview the book, but I just want to make sure I didn't need to convert them to jpeg or anything before I spend over $100 on this book!)
Thanks!

When you create a version in Aperture it automatically creates a jpeg, so you don't have to do anything else. It is all automatic.
