Aperture synchronising

I use Aperture 3.4.3 on my iMac running OSx 10.8.2. I use a plug-in BorderFX to annotate the pictures. I need to keep a copy of the original and have the FX set to create and store in Aperture the edited version of the original.
Yesterday when I tried to synchronise with my iPad2 only the original version of the picture went across, despite the fact that all of the pictures originals and edited are kept together in the same folder.
Today I updated my version of Bo;arderFX to the latest. Now when I synchronise, the annotated copy only goes across.
How can I get both copies on to my iPad?
David

Are the original and edited versions in a stack? If yes, only the stack pick get's synced to an iOS device. If they are stacked and you want both, unstack them. If they are stacked and the wrong one is getting synced, you probably have the wrong set as the stack pick.

Aperture synchronisation with iphone randomise my photo library

I used to synchronise my photo in iPhoto from my MBP to an iPad and an iPhone 3GS. The library was correctly ordered by date.
I since switched to Aperture and a shinny new iPhone4S. Now, when I open the Photos App on my iPhone, the main Library list the photo totally at random, other a 10 years period. Now way to find anything.
Inside other Albums, Photos are ordered chronogically, BUT when there are more than two versions for one Master, both are synchronised on the iPhone !
Then when I look at the list of Events, they are listed by name, when I would like them to be ordered by date (as are the matching projects within aperture)
Of course, in Aperture, photo are sorted per date

On Yosemite you can only run Aperture 3.6, but that will not run on Lion.
If you want to get Aperture running on your photo management macbook, restore it to the previous system from the last backup you made before the crash occurred, if you have a full Time Machine backup. If you want to keep the Mac on Yosemite, try to restore the older system to an external drive and boot the Mac from that drive, when you want to work with Aperture 2.
Otherwise your only option would be to buy the upgrade to Aperture 3.6.

How can I get Aperture to re- synchronise with an external folder

Does anyone know how to get Aperture to re- synchronise with an external folder?
I reference my images on an external hard-drive.
I often will move images or add them via other programs. I would like to then re-sync and have Aperture add the new images to its library.
Lightroom does this very well but no joy in Aperture.
Joe Barrett

OK I know understand your question
I do this as part of my workflow - I put all images into folders on the hard drive and then import them into Aperture as Referenced Masters
I select the Library Inspector and select the higher levelProject I want to store the images in (or create a New one)
Then I go to the
File
Import
Folders as Projects
Then select the folder tree that you wish to import - BUT ENSURE that you select where you want to store the files.
I keep them in the current location as I prefer to have referenced files
also adjust the other import controls as required.
Then run the import - it may take a while to create the library records ad Thumbnails.
Use the Aperture Preferences window to switch off Faces.
Hope this solves your problem

Synchronising between Aperture and iPhoto

During my messing about last week in trying to sort out my faulty Aperture Library, I ended up rebuilding my iPhoto Library too, and reimporting all my images into it.
This has resulted in a disparity between the two Libraries. Now I know I did some clearing out of the Aperture collection earlier this year, so I'm expecting it to have fewer images. However, the difference is far greater than I expected. I know that the iPhoto Library has at least the same images as the Aperture Library, but not the other way around.
This is the annoying bit, as Aperture doesn't check for duplicates on importing.
My Aperture Library has about 11,200 photos in it, but my iPhoto Library is showing 12,800. I'm expecting to shed a lot of these anyway, but I'm also concerned about the difference here too. So, I'd like to reimport the missing images back to Aperture. Is there any way to synchronise the two Libraries? - or at least get Aperture to check for duplicates?
Cheers.

I've found a script that does seem to offer what I need, it only imports from an external folder, but it's sufficient to work with what I have here anyway (I also have all my images in an external folder hierarchy in Finder).
http://homepage.mac.com/brettgross/Aperture/ApertureAppleScripts/ApertureAppleSc ripts/SyncFolder.html
It needed tweaking to add .ORF file to it, but it seems to be working, albeit a little slowly (which doesn't matter, as long as it does the job).

Aperture 3.3 can not synchronised Flickr

I have an account in Flickr and am using Aperture.
Yesterday, I load Aperture 3.3 update.
Today I can no more access, upload, synchronised Flicker from Aperture.
-Aperture: Preferences --> WEB--> Flickr Account
"Aperture is no longer authorised to used the Flicker account.
Do you want to set up publishing again?"
- After pushing "Set Up" (Aperture window)
- the different Access screens pop up, filled the access through google.(Only able on Firefox, do not succeed to access the google password screen with Safari?) (Yahoo, Google windows)
- " Ok I'll authorised it" in Flickr to use the Aperture Uploader (Flicker widow)
- " You have successfully authorised the application Aperture Uploader." (Flicker Window)
"You can go ahead and closed the window now"
- Coming back to Aperture "Authorizing" is running -->" an error occured when authorising your Flicker account, please try again later." (Aperture Window)
I have no "extra" web protection like RAPPORT running.
I succeed to reach flicker from Aperture only with Firefox, not with Safari.
I can independantly access Flickr with Safari and Firefox.
Aperture, Safari, Plugin, OSX, Flickr where is the problem?
A clue?
Regards
B.

-24 Hours- was the time between this message "an error occurred when authorizing your Flicker account, please try again later" and a now functional Aperture.
What has change in-between, I don't know!
Ten minutes ago we had the Java 003 or 004 package update....is there a link?
Let's go back to work.
Too sad it seems the up-loader hasn't change, has it? It's always really slow.
What I've done before, without success...
- remove cookies
- clean cache
- delete Aperture Flickr keychains
- Denied permission in Flicker
- use Firefox and not Safari
- Send Aperture 3.3 feedback
- write Apple Support
- write Apple support communities
- try synchro in Aperture again and again....
Best regards

Avec l'outil de synchronisation ITINES, peux-t-on récupérer à la fois des photos de la biblioyhèque Aperture et des photos enregistrées sur un dossier du disque dur ( 2 origines différentes ) ?

Bonjour ,
Question 1 : avec l'outil de synchronisation ITUNES ( IMAC vers IPAD ) , peux-t-on récupérer à la fois des photos de la bibliothèque Aperture et des photos enregistrées sur un dossier du disque dur ( 2 origines différentes ) ?
Question 2 : Lorsqu"un changement de choix de dossier ( lors de la synchronisation ) est fait , la question suivante est posée :
voulez-vous conserver les photos ? Même si la réponse est oui , au bout de 2 synchronisations , le dossier d'origine présent sur l'IPAD disparaît .
En conclusion , ne peux-t-on mixer plusieurs origines de photo lors de la synchronisation ?

While you are free to do what you want - it is strongly recommended that you do not use a referenced library (Do Not uncheck the preference to "copy imported items to the iPhoto lbrary") If creates problems, saves no space and sets up for futrue nighemares
You final conclusion is the correct one - FOR YOU - if you want destructive editing rather than the lossless editing that iPhoto provides then simply do not use iPhoto

Synchronisation of photos from Aperture doesn't work with iPad4 and Apple TV

IPad4 with IOS 7.1.1
ITunes 11.1.5
Doesn't work with Aperture!
I couldn't synchronise my albums after upgrading Aperture to the latest software version, both for Apple TV and iPad2/iPad4.
Recovery of Aperture Mediathek doesn't help.

Could there be a relationship with the fact tha wifi syncing with itunes doesn't work too?
Also: I installed vlc remote last week which also gave connection problems. After manual input of ip adress and port it worked fine. Still I don't understand why. I have just a regular home network. Moreover apple remote combined with itunes just doesn't work still.
Any hints?

Photo edits in aperture are not being updated in Photostream

I want to edit photos in iPhoto on an iPad mini and also in Aperture and have the changes synchronised either using photostream or a direct connection. Try as I may I can't get this to happen. If I move a photo in Aperture to the photostream then it appears on the iPad and vice versa. If I subsequently edit a photo on either device the changes are not propagated to the other device and the photostream image is not updated. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong, or is this feature simply not supported.

Photo Stream can be used to automatically share photos to other devices, but it will not sync the photos. If you edit photos and want to share the edited version as well, you will have to add this edited version again to the Photo Stream. Also the photos will not be stored in the Photo Stream for more than a month.
You might consider to use iTunes Photo sync instead:
iOS and iPod: Syncing photos using iTunes
With iTunes Photo Sync you can update the albums synced to your iPad, when you change the albums and edit the photos on your mac, but changes done on your iPad will also not sync back. You have to reimport the edited photos from your iPad.
There is simply no simple way yet to sync iPad and Mac, if you are looking for a solution to do some editing on your iPad and keep iPad and Mac in perfect sync.
Maybe some third party software can do that, but neither the Photos app nor iPhoto on iPad has means to do that.

MobileMe Gallery - not respecting Aperture security setup

I have around 5 albums on my MobileMe gallery which are synchronised with Aperture (in fact I create them in Aperture).
Of these albums, 2 are password-protected and 3 are public. I haven't created an album in a while (probably since Aperture 2!) and I have been trying to create a public (i.e. no password) album to no avail.
Basically, although in Aperture, the settings for the album are listed as "public" access, whenever I try to access the album on the web through MobileMe Gallery, I am asked for a password. I have tried re-syncing, tried creating multiple new albums - whatever I do I am always asked for a password and the thumbnails of these newly created albums have the padlock icon denoting that they are password protected.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
thanks in advance
Raf

Hi there
I tested with an empty library and discovered that it was definitely an issue linked to 1 particular library (rather than the app as a whole).
Thanks for linking to the Troubleshooting page for Aperture - although I had previously trashed preferences and selected "Repair Database" this did not solve the problem so I tried the "Rebuild" option which always scares me but it did work this time (I made sure I had a Vault backup just in case)!
Thanks and hopefully this thread may benefit other Aperture users in future!

Aperture and MobileMe galleries

Hi,
I have the problem that the sorting criteria of my MobileMe galleries always change during the synchronisation process. I want the newest images to be shown on top. That's why I choose "date" as criteria. When I sync the gallery the sort criteria is set to "manual" automatically and the oldest images are shown on top.
I hoped that the newest update solves this problem but that is not the case It's still the same situation.
It is really annoying because you never know how your images show up in the MobileMe gallery.
I use Aperture 3.0.2 on a Macbook Pro 15'' with 2,4 GHz C2D.
Thanks for your feedback.
markus

I think you are talking about the order of the Galleries here. If so it is very easy to change them but certainly not intuitive to say the least. You need to log onto your MobileMe account through a web browser. The easiest way to get there is: Apple Menu: System Preference: MobileMe button: Account tab: Account Details button.
You then log in with your name and password.
Click on the Gallery tab (sunflower) and you can drag your MobileMe Galleries into whatever order you want. You can also change the main Gallery name here.
Now I'd be real happy if I could make multiple sites and not just additional albums in the same site.

Problem linking to MobileMe album created in Aperture

I use multiple computers and I'm trying to sort out synchronising photo albums between them.
On my main iMac I use Aperture and have created and published a number of photo albums to the gallery. I can view the albums from any machine via the Safari web browser and can download individual photographs.
On my Macbook or any of the other machines, when I try to subscribe to an album using the "subscribe in iPhoto" option, iPhoto starts up, tries to link and comes back with a message 'There are no photos in the subscription “MobileMe Atom Feed.”'
I can set up a subscription in iPhoto by accessing MobileMe and copying the URL, but this doesn't allow me to add photographs to the album from within iPhoto.
Any suggestions of what I might be doing wrong or how to resolve this situation. Incidentally, I'm using iPhoto '09 on both of the machines I am trying to get to set up a subscription to an album on.
Thanks, Brian

Glenn: Thanks for the reply. I've gone back through and examined things again and here is what is happening, although I can't explain why it's happening.
You are correct about the differences in the URL formats for Mobile Me. However, it is not possible while on the http://www.me.com/gallery to send an invite to a friend to subscribe to your gallery. That ability is not there. You must click on the other link in the upper right corner that takes you to the actual gallery with the URL format http://gallery.me.com. Once you are at that location, then and only then is the button available called "Tell A Friend".
True. I only mention the other link because there is, within iPhoto itself, a "Subscribe to Photo Feed..." option under the File menu. here you manually type or paste the URL pointing to the gallery you wish to subscribe to. If you pasted the incorrect gallery link, you will get the same failure you reported earlier.
I wonder if using that option on your end would succeed or not, Try it and let us know.
So, while on the http://gallery.me.com website gallery, I can click on the "Tell A Friend" button and send an invitation to someone to view the gallery. The e-mail that it creates contains the correct link format. I then send this e-mail to myself (using a different e-mail address) and upon receiving the mail click on the link provided and it takes me to the correct URL web page gallery where I can view the photos and now there's an option at the top called "Subscribe". When I click on this button it asks if I want to subscribe via an RSS reader or to iPhoto. I select iPhoto and iPhoto then opens automatically and then asks me if I wish to subscribe to the gallery. I click "yes" and an error message pops up that says there are no photos published (even though I'm looking right at them). All of the links are correct in that they are pointing to the http://gallery.me.com/username/galleryname address. But it still does not work.
The only way I can get it to work is to go into Aperture - click on the mobile me gallery that I have published and then click on the button at the bottom of the page that says "Tell A Friend". Once again it generates an e-mail with an invitation to view the gallery. I send that e-mail to my other address and when I receive it I click on the link, it takes me to the correct URL web gallery where I can see the photos just as before. When I click on the "subscribe" button at the top, iPhoto launches - asks me if I wish to subscribe - I click "yes" - and the photos begin downloading into iPhoto with no problem.
So - to sum up. If I send an invite to a friend to view and subscribe to an album from the actuall gallery web page it does not work. If I send the invite from Aperture (which is where the gallery was published from) then the subscription process works. In both instances the URLs that are being referenced are the correct http://gallery.me.com web site.
Nothing has changed at my end and I'm pretty sure there is a bug here on the Mobile Me website that is generating this problem. I've seen this same problem now on my wife's computer and on my parent's computers - so it's not just an isolated issue on my computer.
Nice summary of the issue. I have to admit, all methods of subscribing to a Photo Feed are working on my end. If you don't mind, you can send me an invite to one of these troublesome galleries, and I'll see if I can subscribe to it on my end (Check my profile in the upper right of this page for mt email address).
I guess I should report it to Apple. The only problem with that is you never hear back from them. Thanks for the suggestions anyway and let me know if you have any other ideas.
True. However, it is possible to signup for a free Apple Developer Account here:
http://developer.apple.com/products/mac/program/
You don;t actually need to be a develper, but you will be able to submit Bug Reports that get assigned a case number and the engineers respond and even may ask for further information. I've done it myself.

Aperture 3 and Facebook problem

I'm encountering a weird problem with Facebook upload through Aperture 3.1.
I found a few photos and dragged them into my Facebook albums through Aperture. It says synchronising but seems to public multiple copies of the same photo to the FB album.
If I delete multiples from FB it just copies them again after a while. If I delete them from FB, as soon as I restart Aperture they publish multiple copies of the pics I dragged through originally.
Any solutions?

Although I haven't encountered this problem, please read the following thread and you may reconsider the built-in Facebook syncing:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2625405&tstart=100
Fortunately, it's easy enough to export photos from Aperture to a folder and upload manually, but a half-baked implementation shouldn't even be shown as a option.

Best way to share aperture library over network on two computers?

I've read several posts about doing this and most recommend using an external HD and just hot swapping. However, is their not a better alternative? Can I not share my library over the network, or just remote connect to the other computer?
Thanks for the help!

Hi Terence and Leonie,
You can run several Aperture on the same computer as long as all Aperture are using distinct libraries.
What Aperture does is to create a simple lock file in <your Aperture library>.aplibrary/Database/apdb The lock file contains the PID of the process. So not two Aperture could open the same library (although I don't know how good they have manage the concurrent creation, locking, verification of this lock, this is a typical and difficult software engineering problem)
Anyway, I have not said that Aperture supports concurrent editing. That a file is a database or a simple text file, you have basically the same issues on network or in concurrent environment. So if the folder structure holds simple, flat text file or xml object or databases, it is still a bunch of files (this is a UNIX system by the way ).
Aperture contains more than one SQLlite file, there are some at the root folder, some under Database/apdb etc. there are also XML files that could be used as database.
Anyhow, editing a file (SQLlite, XML, txt, doc, etc.) either on a share or locally is plain similar. The drive can fail too, although much less likely than the network.
Network file edition can have a few shortcomings, but nothing that when known can be blocking.
Locking files over the network can however be tricky and depends largely on the network protocol used (NFS, SMB/CIFS or AFP just to name a few). In addition, if you import files from /Users/foo/Photos in Aperture (without copying them within Aperture), they might not be visible from another computer or only the previews, as the path /Users/foo/Photos is not "visible" from the other computer.
What really is a problem when you put a file not locally is the file system type and its features. HFS+ supports extended attributes (metadata), many other file systems support these but the API (how the software, such as Aperture, access this feature) might not be similar, in addition the amount of metadata or their structure might differ from file system to another. And this is where you might lose information.
A tool like Dropbox is pretty good at maintaining the metadata across different computers, and it has been adapted to do so for OS X specifically (and also for Linux and Windows).
The second problem is if you would have a Mac and share via SMB (the Windows share network protocol, aka CIFS on recent Windows versions) the library, SMB might not support the reading and writing of HFS+ metadata, thus data loss might occur.
Apple is just warning us of all these shortcomings, and advise to use local storage formatted as HFS+. Because even a local external disk formatted as NTFS or other file system could be a problem.
However, power users who understand the risks and limitations of a network share (in general) can create a disk image on a share (even if it is SMB). As for OS X, once the disk image is mounted, it is just like any other local hard disk, it is just "slower" especially latency wise. OS X supports perfectly disk image mounted on a share, it takes care of properly synchronising it.
Of course, due to the nature of the link between the application data and where they are stored, in case of application or OS crash, the amount of data loss could be greater than when the data are held locally.
I hope this clarify better my post.
Note: another shortcoming of having it on the network is: Aperture lock the library by creating a file with a process ID. If the same library is opened from another computer on the network, this other Aperture instance might see the lock file and could perhaps not find the corresponding running process. This Aperture instance might then decide to ignore the lock and proceed with opening the library. This might have some consequences.
But I haven't developed Aperture so I don't know how it would behave
