Aperture Project 3.1.3 Exported Now is not Possible to Import in Aperture 3.2

Help me ... how can I solve ????
Thank You
Alessandro Catalano

Dear Léonie,
So in Aperture 3.1.2 or 3.1.3 and then I processed the images to save space I have exported the project to an external drive. NowI upgraded to Aperture ver. 3.2.2. I tried to import some projects, but the system responds as follows:
The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture 3 and try again"
And now ?!?!
thanks for the kind help

Why are my photos not as sharp when I import them into Facebook from the Aperture Projects file, compared to when I 'share' them with Facebook within the Aperture programme? There is a noticeable difference and has been spoiling my photos for some time.

Hi all, I take wildlife photos (mostly birds) as a hobby, and have become frustrated with the quality of my photos recently when shared online, particularly Facebook.
I started blaming my camera ( a Canon 7D) as I changed it a few months ago from a Canon 550D, and I soon noticed that the images were not as good. Then I realised it was when I started using Aperture.
I started by using the 'share' option within Aperture but I soon realised that then I have no control over the creation of an album, and the photos start appearing on facebook before I have finished uploading them and given them captions. Plus if I subsequently move them or export them to my back up drive then they disappear from Facebook!
So I started creating albums within Facebook and then importing the photos from the aperture projects file on my computer. Because they are imported I can then delete or move the aperture file and the photos stay on facebook. Otherwise my macbook was becoming completely full.
However to test my theory I have today uploaded the same photo edited in Aperture stored in the same projects folder using the two different methods described above, and there is a very distinct difference between the quality of the two images. The shared ones are very much sharper than the imported ones.
I am a computer novice and don't know how to check what the quality settings are, or how to adjust anything to improve the way the photos go into facebook. I do have a manual but I just cant understand it :-(
I have tried a free sample of Lightroom 5 and my photos look amazing, there is such a difference, but I don't want to give up with Aperture unless the problem really can't be solved.
Sorry for such a long first post, I would be very very grateful for any help you can give me!
Regards
Susan

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

Export via markers not possible

Hi,
The situation: a 50 minute live track of a band, in the multitrack view I have 2 stereo tracks with some effects.
I added a dozen range markers for the songs. in the Markers list they appear with correct start, end and duration. I named them after the songs. (the markers are Range markers, NOT point markers)
Then when I select all markers in the markers list, the option File->Export->Audio within range markers is still grayed out.
Also the 4th and 5th icon in the marker list stay gray ("insert selected range markers in playlist" and "export audio of selected ranges into separate files")
I know this should work, i did this before, but now it won't. I know back then i had to do an aditional action to activate the menu, but stupid me forgot to jot that down somewhere...
Can anyone give a hint?

Thanks guys. I've written my steps below and posted a video.

IPhoto not showing to import to aperture?

Not giving me the option to import from iphoto to Aperture??

think I have the same problem - see HT5260 No option to import iPhoto library to Aperture

I have used Lr many years without problems. Now it is inpossible to edit . Can not see the editing in main window only in the small thumbnail. Suddenly it is not possible to import raw-files from my Linux camera ( it worked earlier)

Editing mode does not work. I can not follow de editing in the main window. I cah see it in the thumbnail.

From your description of the problem, I suspect that you have a standalone license but have downloaded and installed the CC update. Or, it's the other way around. In either case, you need to install the right version.

I have Iphoto library in Aperture. Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging?

I have Iphoto library in Apeture. Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work?? It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty. I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two. I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.

Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture? And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library" in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.
Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the aperture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work?? It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.
You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted. (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
File > New > Smart album:
Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.

New Apple TV: 1) read all photos from Aperture (projects) 2) assign music

Hi,
i'd like to buy your new AppleTV but would like to know:
1) Is it possible to real all the photos within Aperture Projects ?
With AppleTV 1 gen isn't possible, i need to create first album cause photo in projects aren't shown!
2) i'd like to pre-assign for each slideshow a music (from iTunes): is it possible with 2nd gen Apple TV ?

Yes, I have the same issue also.
It look like only the last import is missing somehow.
For example, yesterday I import photos from DC and iPhone, and put them in one event.
Only the DC part shown up, and iPhone photo are missing.
If I use "Last 12 month" section in Apple TV and jump to bottom, you can see some empty squares, and not viewable. Somehow it is not updated.

Aperture 3.4.1 Zoom out at 25% not working

Hi,
I just remarked that the Zoom Out at 25% with Aperture 3.4.1 doesn't work any more...the maximum Zoom Out is now fixed to the size
of the window. I'm pretty sure that this worked on Aperture 3.4 though.
While not a big problem, I like to view my photos at smaller size, to see how they look like on small printouts.
Does someone have the same issue with Zoom Out with Aperture 3.4.1?
Cheers,
Gilles

I could not get to work since Aperture 3.4 either. Zoom out now seems to stop, when the image fills the window.
As a work-around, select more than one image in full screen mode, and you can zoom out to 25%.
Or put the image on a Light-Table; then you can zoom out to really small thumbnail sizes.
Regards
Léonie

How do I move a referenced Aperture project from a laptop to desktop?

I utilize Aperture by reference rather than managed.
I have a project on my laptop that I want to tranfer including all versions, crops and rated images onto my desktop as a referenced project.
If I export Project as a New Library on my laptop and import as library on my desktop, everything comes over BUT it is now a managed library with no corresponding folder in Pictures.
If I simply copy the referenced folder to the desktop and Import Folders as Projects, the only versions that transfer as cropped and processed are those images processed by an external editor (ie Nik) but nothing else.
SO, I'm going crazy thinking either Apple just doesn't really want me using a referenced library (thinking someday I will easily jump ship to Lightroom which I am now seriously considering) OR I am missing something in the process.
Can anyone assist with this somewhat technical issue?
Thanks!

Thanks Frank.

HELP PLEASE! Export Aperture 1 Library and Import to Aperture 3? Or another way to transfer files WITH changes into new MacBook Pro?

Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a new MacBook pro with Retina display, to better manage Aperture and Photoshop. I took the advice of the genius (and after spending all night messing with permissions, etc.), opted out of using Setup Assistant or Migration Assistant and decided to transfer my files manually (as the two systems weren't merging properly the first time -- it was a giant mess). Long story short, I tried to transfer everything from my previous MacBook (operating on 10.5.8 with Aperture 1), and Aperture 3 couldn't handle it. It was crashing, and crashing so badly that NO button could be activated in the program (I FINALLY got Aperture working by disabling previews, and by moving from a managed library to a referenced library).
I initially dragged and dropped all photos from my previous MacBook to my external, and imported. I obviously lost folders, edit history and any other information that I needed to know what edits had been done on the file. Additionally, any movie that had been imported into Aperture was corrupt (the file was not transferring over correctly). I searched and searched for different methods, and finally found that I could export each project from my original MacBook as a "Library" and consolidate masters, or not, etc. I took the time and did this for each project. When I went to import these into Aperture 3, it said I was not able to because the libraries were from a previous version of Aperture.
Is there any way to bypass this? Or another way to transfer my projects? I understand I won't be able to do this for my entire library... but I'm wondering if there's any way to transfer my changes made, projects and details from Aperture 1 to Aperture 3? (and for those who might pose upgrading my original MacBook as an option, I cannot. It's too old. I think the best I could uprade to is Aperture 2, IF i can update the OS. Though, I definitely don't think I should be forced to do that since I've aleady re-invested in a new computer, AND had to re-buy Aperture for the new one.
Any/all advice is VERY much appreciated, as I really want to move forward and FINALLY start appreciating this program and computer (i.e. my investment) and move forward business wise. Thank you!

Hi Jack,
Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

Burning pics to DVD from Aperture Project

I am trying to burn pics to a DVD from an Aperture project(copies for friends who were on the trip). I put in the DVD, open disk utility, select Aperture and everything freezes or slows down to a crawl. It has become so much of a problem that I am now loading the pics onto an old PC and burning the DVDs that way. Any thoughts/insights/or suggestion would be appreciated.

If you are talking about a data DVD, and not a video DVD slideshow, then the proper sequence is to put the disk in, then in Aperture select all the photos, and then use Export and target the DVD disk. Would be the same if using a CD, and only enough photos to fit on it. Then when it completes the Export, click to burn the DVD.
More info about what you are trying to do, please.

Aperture Project Re-Import Problem

Aperture Project exported to aux. drive cannot be imported. Getting "Error Importing Library" message; "The library could not be imported because it is from an out of date version of Aperture 3. Please upgrade the library to the latest version of Aperture"
The project is a 2009 project that was exported this year after I upgraded to 3.0, in an effort to create more disk space in my MacBook Pro. I have several years of well over 100 Projects that I've exported "Projects as a New Library" and am now unable to re-import them for added work and access.
Is there a clear cut solution to this? I've done some searching on web and it appears this has been a significant problem for other Apertures users as well.

Hello nikondon,
First you need to upgrade your old Library. Select it in the Finder and double-click it. That will launch Aperture with this library and convert it.
(or hold down the Option key while clicking on the Aperture Icon in the Dock. From the list of available libraries choose this particular one).
Then you will be able to import your old library into your current one.

Drag drop photo import to aperture folder why auto new project folder appear .

i do import photos from desktop to folder that i want in the aperture libary . as soon as i drag and drop photos automatically new peoject folder appear in the libabry as name untitled project.. why? i dont want that new project folder. i try to delete that folder and my picture all automatically deleted from library.
also if i try to delete photos from preject folder .. it completely deleted from master library .. picture will be lost.. why?
i drag and move pictures to brand new album or folder .. then try to delete wanted project folder - master picture are all gone.
now i have at least 30-40 of untitled project folder in the library ... pictrure are not movable i meant you can move but u still have to keep old project folder to avoid master picture can not be deleted ...
someone help me? did i make myself clear?

You might read the manual or the Help as this is all covered there.
If you want to import to a specific project use the File -> Import option. You can select your destination there.
Every photo in a Library is in a project. Projects are the basic building block of the Library. That's why.
Folders don't contain photos. They can contain Projects or Albums. These contain photos. Albums don't contain the actual photos, just links to them. So if you add a photo to an Album and then delete the project... you delete the photo.
Remember: you don't move photos to an Album, you add them.

Please help, can I restore a Aperture project instead of the whole Library?

Hi,
I really need some help, ok so I use Time Machine and backup weekly on my Time Capsule so I know my work is safe. But now here comes the question I just realised I need to restore some pictures but I do not know how to go about it. Do I have to restore the whole Aperture Library which is 40GB, or can I just restore a particular project or even much better just restore a picture?
Thanks
Catherine

Hi, the one thing I do know is that Aperture keeps everything in the Home Pictures folder, but its all within the Aperture application.
Those are two different things. It's likely all managed by the Aperture application, but the data won't be inside the app itself.
But yes, if you can tight-click click on that folder, then +Show Package Contents+ and navigate to individual pictures from the normal Finder, you're not going to be able to restore selected items.
iPhoto is similar, but has it's own special handling with Time Machine, where you can browse and/or restore individual items from the +iPhoto Library+ package.
You might find some info in the Aperture forum.
It's a bit cumbersome, but you might be able to restore the whole thing to an alternate location, then copy what you want from the restored package.

Can I have two Aperture projects with same name?

Hi. I'm new to Aperture and an advanced iPhoto user. I started using Aperture sharing the same library with iPhoto (that new functionallity).
I've read lots of manuals and tutorials (Apple's and others) as well as this support topics. I understand iPhoto Events are now Aperture Projects and I've read a lot about how should it be organized and so on.
My problem is: I got, for example, 4 iPhoto Events with the name "Friends". The appear in Apperture as 4 Projects named "Friends". I decided to rename one of them and the I came back to "Friends" name. Aperture won't let me: it appends "(1)". It seems I cannot name to Projects the same way, although I have that.
Before: Friends, Friends, Friends, Friends
After renaming one of them and trying to get back to original name: Friends, Friends, Friends, Friends (1)
I have that duplicated name because it is like a title, photos of my friends in different time (one Friends is from 2005, other from 2010, and so on, for example).
It seems pretty bad I have to come up with a new name for each new Project, considering I have hundreds of them today. Any tips? Thanks.

If there is nothing separating the images then put them all in the same project. If you have a project Friends you know all your friends images are in there and you can find the ones you want by date or keyword or even Face.
There is no requirement to have the images from different times at the bar to be in different projects. I personally wouldn't work that way but if having a project called Friends at Bar works for you then place all the images of your friends at the bar in that project.
Of course another way to look at this is to use albums to pull all the images of your Friends at Bars together. Don't have the name of the project organize your library, create albums and/or smart albums to collect the images into meaningful groupings.
regards
