Aperture Previews NOT Showing

I uploaded an album of 6 pics earlier today and as I was going to check the images, after I click them they appear on the large preview window for about a second before dissapearing.
I checked my older albums and they are all doing the same thing. I tried to drag a few of the images to my desktop and then preview them using "Preview" and that seems fine. Back in Aperture, the images all contain their own metadata and all show in the bottom preview (scroll/folder browser), it's only when I click on a pic that it shows on the larger above it window for one second or so before "dissapearing."
As you can see one of the images is highlighted yet it doesn't show up on the large preview. Metadata is all present.
First thing I did was to update from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4
I then restarted Aperture and held down "Command" + "Option" and have done all three options in the "Aperture Library First Aid" list:
Repair permissions
Repair Database
Rebuild Database
each time checking if the issue was resolved before restarting again and rebuilding/repairingwith the next option.
I finally removed my preferences folder from "~/Library/Application Support/Aperture" as per the troubleshoot guide. Checked the program and the issue still persists. I moved that file back to it's original directory to gain back my old preferance settings.
What now, anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried to remove the Aperture User Preferences, not the Presets/Preferences folder? If the GUI is behaving strangely, a broken "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file may be the reason.
- Quit Aperture and log out and log on again.
- In the Finder choose "Go to folder" from the "Go" menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
- Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
- Then lauch Aperture and check again.
The "Basic Troubleshooting" support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805 does not mention the logon/logoff, but working with MacOS Lion it is essential to do so. Due to the changes in the Process System (Automatic Termination) you can never be sure if a program really terminates, when you make it quit, even if it looks terminated in the Dock. Only force quitting, logout, or shutdown will ensure that the program terminates. And since "force quitting" is not recommended for a database program, logoff is the next best option.

Aperture previews not showing up in media browser (and iweb)

some of my images in aperture projects do not show up in iweb or in the media browser at all....the projects are listed and most other project show all images, but some don't....
i tried several things including consistency check and rebuilding the entire library....nothing works....
this is very annoying...one of the few reasons (but a major one for me) to stick with aperture over LR is the system wide integration....but it has to work....

thanks for that info....i actually managed to fix it by rebuilding my previews.....but there was no reason at all for the previews not to show up....and it actually took 2 times to rebuild them all....some still did not show up after the first run....
i really hope we will see an upgrade soon....some things just have to be smoothed out....and a few added....

Aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie

My library in Aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie. All that shows up is iPhoto which I dont have much on there so right now my temp fix is transferring the photos I need to iPhoto and then using but shouldnt Aperture integrate the same way.

but shouldnt Aperture integrate the same way.
It definitely should. Have you set Aperture to always share Previews with the iLife and iWorks Appications?
Aperture main menu -> Aperture -> Preferences -> The Previews Tab
Set this to "Share previews with iLife and iWorks", also to "New Projects automatically generate previews" and select a reasonable preview size, the size of your screen would be perfect.
If you already had sharing enabled, update the previews: Photos -> Update Previews
or Photos -> Delete Previews, and then "Update"
If this did not help, you may have a problem, that the Media Browser does not recognize your Library:
Create a new (temporary) Aperture Library: File -> Switch to Library -> Other/new
Then Quit Aperture, open Aperture again,
Switch to your old Library: File -> Switch to Library -> Your main Aperture Library
Quit Aperture again.
Hopefully the iApps now will show Aperture.
If not, maybe there are problems with your Preferences or the Library needs fixing: Then go thru the drill of the Trouble Shooting basics:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
If this does not help, report back.
Good luck

Aperture library not showing up in upload browser

When I go to upload Aperture photos to the web, my Aperture library is not listed in the media browser. Only iPhoto and Photo Booth is there. I've had to go into Aperture and export the photos to upload them. This started to happen after I upgraded to Lion. Any suggestions?

Aperture did not show up in any other apps, but I found an discussion started by someone with the same issue, and the issue was resolved by creating a new library, then swicthing back to your original library. I tried this and it worked for me also. Here is the discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2338518?start=0&tstart=0
Thanks for your help

Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream.

Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream. I have re-set photo stream from within the aperture app, but it only downloads a small fraction of my photo stream. Any ideas?

Sorry but you're wrong, as the article that you quoted pointed out
Since your Mac has more storage than your iOS devices, your photos automatically download and your Mac keeps every photo from your Photo Stream by default

New Aperture photos not showing up in iLife browser

I recently upgraded from Aperture 2 to version 3. When I open the Media Browser in any of the iLife apps, I can see all the photos/projects which existed in Aperture prior to the upgrade, but any pictures I've added since do not show up.
I've tried all manner of repairing permissions, turning off face recognition, creating blank libraries, turning preview sharing off and on, but nothing seems to help.
Does anyone have a possible solution?

I had this problem, and what I actually did was a rebuild on the Aperture database which fixed the problem. I got it from Scott Bourne's link below. After rebuilding the Aperture database, I restarted iTunes and the Aperture libraries showed up with the correct count.
http://photofocus.com/2010/02/27/aperture-library-rebuild
It’s been a while since I’ve talked about this but I recently received a question for the podcast that might be answered here on Photofocus.com.
If you use Aperture (II or III) and you have a large library or make lots and lots of changes to even a small library, the Aperture library can bog down or even become unstable.
This has something to do with the database and can lead to symptoms like pictures not showing up or slow scrolling to occasional thumbnail rendering and overall slower performance. I personally also believe it’s tied to a memory leak in the program. In any event, when this happens, rebuilding the Library is often the fix.
Before you rebuild your Library, back up everything to your Vault. Then, quit Aperture. Press and hold Option + Command and launch Aperture by double clicking on the application icon. Follow the prompts to start the rebuild.
It will take some time for the rebuild to be complete. I have my images stored in multiple Libraries of 10,000 image. Rebuild time is about 45 minutes on average.
At the end of the process, you should see snappier performance. This can also be a fix if things are just going haywire without reason.
When you are confident that you haven’t lost any images, back up this newly-rebuilt Library to your Vault and you’re finished.
I recommend that you do this every three months or so and more often if you are a heavy Aperture user or have very large Libraries.

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.
Darrin

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

Aperture 3 Not Showing Pictures in Edit But Otherwise OK

Hi,
Aperture 3 is not showing pictures in the edit screen. Previews are ok. Moreover, when I zoom in in the edit window, pictures are showing correctly. Also they are shown a second after an adjustment is applied (and, actually, if you hold the slider you can see the picture the whole time). It exports fine.
I've tried:
repairing permissions;
repairing database;
rebuilding database;
creating a new library and importing;
manually repairing the library as per https://discussions.apple.com/message/11700059#11700059
re-installing Aperture;
reparing permissions system-wide.
Nothing helps. I don't have the backup, obviously. System is Macbook Air 1.7 GHz i5, 4Gb.
Could anyone, please, help?
Thanks in advance,
G.

OK first off the procedure you referenced re: manually trying to rebuild a library is a last ditch, library is on fire, crashes the world procedure. It is never to be done as a first wave troubleshooting step and it is never to be done without a complete backup of the library. Hopefully that hasn;t added anything to the problem.
Ok that's out of the way. You should start by removing the filter you have on the browser. It's most likely not causing this but there is no need for it and it's only adding a layer of complexity we don;t need now.
What version of Aperture? If it is 3.2.3 (the latest from yesterday) did this start happening the? If it is not the latest you should upgrade.
Does this happen with all images in the library or only some? What type of images RAW or JPG?
If you create a new empty library and import a few images into it does the problem still happen? What if you make a new user and run Aperture as that user on a new library?
When did the problem start? Was it working OK before with this library?
Finally have you rebooted since this problem started?

Deleting Aperture previews not working as expected

Hello,
I am trying to reduce the number of pictures from my Apreture library that show up in the Media Browser. As far as I can tell, I need to tell Aperture to stop automatically generating previews and then I can manage them myself.
This is what I am doing:
1. Within Aperture Preferences I have unchecked the box that says "New projects automatically generate previews"
2. Under the option "Share Previews with iLife and iWork" I have selected "When quitting Aperture"
3. Under the Library Actions menu (little gear icon in the Library bowser pane on the left) I have unchecked "Maintain Previews For Project" for all of my projects
4. Under the Photos menu I have selected "Delete Previews for Library"
5. Quit Aperture
6. Open Mail app and compose an email. Then try to attach a photo from my Aperture library
7. Proceed to notice that ALL OF MY APERTURE PICTURES STILL SHOW UP IN THE MEDIA BROWSER!
This is driving me crazy and I don't know why it's not working. There seem to be a number of users that are successfully managing their previews like this.
Am I doing something wrong or missing a step?
Any help is appreciated.

Hi Frank,
3. Under the Library Actions menu (little gear icon in the Library bowser pane on the left) I have unchecked "Maintain Previews For Project" for all of my projects
What did you have selected in the library when you unchecked this?
I had the particular project that I wanted to exclude selected.
4. Under the Photos menu I have selected "Delete Previews for Library"
You selected all your images (or at least the ones you want to delete the previews for) before running this. correct?
Yes I did.

Illustrator document thumbnail previews not showing in finder window

I am trying to find a way to view Illustrator document thumbnails (CS,CS2,CS3 and CS4) in Finder windows. Other documents such as .tiffs, jpgs, etc and Word and .pdfs show but not Illustrator.
I used +show view options+ in the Finder, turning on and off show icon, show icon preview and show preview in column. The options seem to affect all other files but not Illustrator. All I get is the application icon but not the document thumbnail. Interestingly, I discovered if I manually delete the .ai extension the documents thumbnail appears, so I tried to turn off the +Show all file extensions+ in the Finder's Preferences. It changed other files but not Illustrator. Does anyone know how to accomplish this on a global basis without manually changing each files extension? It would allow me to the use of Quick Look on these files also. I did speak to Adobe and they thought it was an OS issue.

This is a 'known' issue. Try SneakPeek Pro

Print preview not showing values correctly. (single words are omitted)

Hi,
When viewing print preview of ME23n , it does not shows the values correctly.
It omitting the single words.
If its having 2 or more words, it displaying correctly
For example;
This is the vendor & its address. (check attached image img1.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number-122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO-04
When displaying the print preview, it shows only some parts of the above address
Shows only; (check attached image img2.jpg)
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
These values are getting from a table called LFA1. I have checked that table & in that table all the values exists correctly.
I have noted issue is with, having only a single word. (If address or name having only a single word, that is without spaces, it will not going to show in the print preview) -
In the above example, it is not showing Number-122/A and COLOMBO-04 (Its a single word. No spaces there)
If its like --> Number - 122/A & COLOMBO - 04 , then it will display in the print preview correctly (where there are spaces after - mark)
check img3.jpg
If its having more than one word, then it will display correctly in the print preview. As below;
ZERANDIB BUSINESS APPLIANCES
Number - 122/A
PO BOX 41,112,REID AVENUE
COLOMBO - 04
Any ideas how to resolve this issue?
Is there any thing to do with printer settings & configurations / netweaver admin point of view?
Best Regards.
Zerandib

Hi Zerandib,
By the way , since its a standard program, i think that code is out of our scope.
Me23N is a standard tcode but cusomters create Z-Program for printing by making a copy of standard.
You may please check upon the same.
Is it possible to check the results on a system where patch has not been applied ?
Regards,
Deepak Kori

Custom Quartz Filter In Preview Not Showing Up

In Snow Leopard, I could create a custom ColorSync profile to reduce PDF size (but not with quite as a dramatic drop in quality as the default PDF Reduce File Size) and it would show up in Preview as an option.
Now, in Lion, I still have the profiles, but they do not show up in Preview as a choice. I also cannot edit the default Reduce File Size profile in ColorSync as it is perma-locked.

Ok, got it now.
Needed to generate new filters (Kopy the normal Reduce File size and changed it)
Then I had to transfer them like midnightmac said.
And then it works. I reduced 11,5 MB to 2,7 MB with still accaptable results.
Thanks all together

APERTURE GALLERY NOT SHOWING IN IWEB WIDGET.

It happens if you have published Photo gallery with exactly the same name of a Video Gallery with Aperture 2.1. iWeb09 Widget does not show the PhotoGallery with that name.
Just rename it and ... it will be there to drag into your web page.

Sorry I posted this as question but it should be as a bug.

Preview not showing photos after upgrade to 10.5.3

Hi
Since I upgraded to OS 10.5.3, my Preview program will open and seems to run properly...
Except that I cannot actually see the photo that is open. The Preview toolbar shows and I can select the various options. But there is no window with the photo in it.
Any clues?
I already deleted the related plist files in User Library/Preferences. This did not change a thing.
Thank you for your thoughts.
Dominique =)

Maybe deleting those plist files did work in the end - as this is the only thing I attempted to do to solve the issue, since I upgraded to 10.5.3 2 days ago.
It took a few minutes, but all of a sudden, my Preview application was working as normal.
=)
