Aperture to Gmail?

Wow...real problems with the aperture2gmail export plugin. I get an error every time. Also, why isn't there a Gmail button in the menu so you can export to Gmail this way?
I'm new to Aperture and getting use to it (coming from iPhoto) and I do love it. However, I'm curious as to why iPhoto's exporting (via gmail for example) is so much better than Aperture. Aperture seems quite limited in this regard (same with Facebook support etc.) I also noticed the plugins are rather weak in variety. Any other places to check for Aperture plugins?
Thanks

Hi,
If you were to set up your Gmail account in Mail, you would not need any plugin. More info, please.

Can I set gmail as my default email client?

I am having trouble with Apple Mail and would prefer to use gmail as my default email client. Is there any way to do that in aperture?

Gmail is not a Mail Client. It's a mail service that needs a client to access it. That client can be a Web Browser, or an app like Mail, Entourage, Thunderbird etc. So, no you cannot set Gmail as the default email client. It's a bit like saying can I make HBO my Television Set.
If you want to use an app as default mail client in Aperture then the chosen app has to be scriptable, and that limits your options. There are only four supported: Mail, Entourage, AOL and Eudora.
Alternatively, you can access the Library from any Mail client or service via their Attach options:
In any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.

I just noticed that I can no longer select photos out of my finder that are located in my Aperture/Iphoto Library. I used to be able to attach photos to my gmail out of the aperture library in the finder and for some reason, no longer can.
I can't access these images except to go into the applications.
Also, I'd like to import my iphoto library into aperture, and move aperture library to an external drive. I tried the import first, but there wasn't enough space. Then I tried copying over the aperture library onto the external drive but it failed bc it said file was in use.
As it is, I only have 50gb left on my imac, and the aperture library is 150gb. Also, I have over 10k images in both libraries combined and there are tons of duplicates that need to be sorted, and hopefully not messed up because I've organized most of them.
So in short, I need to know how to do the following:
-select photos in finder in aperture/iphoto libraries
-move aperture library to live on external drive
-import iphoto library into aperture library
-eliminate dups but maintain organization
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
-live happily ever after
Thanks in advance for any support you can offer!!

If you're using apps like iPhoto or Aperture then they replace the Finder for managing your photos. The point is that you use the (many) options available via these apps for the things you want and need to do with the Photos.
So, simply, you don't select the photos in the Finder. I'll append the supported ways to do this - which are faster and will yield the current version of your Photos - to the end of this post.
-move aperture library to live on external drive
Managed or Referenced Library? Managed -
Make sure the drive is formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)
1. Quit Aperture
2. Copy the Library from your Pictures Folder to the External Disk.
3. Hold down the option (or alt) key while launching Aperture. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library' and navigate to the new location. From that point on this will be the default location of your library.
4. Test the library and when you're sure all is well, trash the one on your internal HD to free up space.
Referenced - relocate your Masters first.
These issues are covered in the Manual and on this forum hundreds of times.
-import iphoto library into aperture library
FIle -> Import -> iPhoto Library? Have you done this already? If so are you trying to move the Masters to Aperture from an iPhoto Library? Or Consolidate them?
-moving forward i need a better workflow so that I import images from camera, and can organize right away into albums rather than creating projects by default and then creating albums so essentially the photos are in 2 different places, even tho they are referenced
You can't. Every photo is in a Project. They’re the basic building blocks of the Library.
You might want to spend a little time with the manual or the video tutorials. I'm not sure you've grasped the app you've purchased.
The following is written for iPhoto, but about 97% works for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto/ APerture: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics. This is what you use to attach your shot to your GMail
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto/ Aperture.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto/ Aperture not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.

Trouble emailing photos from Aperture and iPhoto, recurrent message about severs and passwords. I use gmail, but system insists on defaulting to Apple mail. I haven't used the Apple mail program for years. What's up? Thanks

I cannot get either Aperture or iPhoto to email jpegs. I use gmail but there seems to be a problem with server selection or identification and passwords that I cannot figure out. Please note that I am not particularly competent technologically, so please use baby steps in your explanation.
'Thank you,

Helps if you tell us the exact error message you get but you
1. Need to select your preferred method of emailing (Mail, iPhoto, Aperture, whatever) in the Preferenes
2. If you're getting password not recognised messages, then delete your account from whatever email method you are using and re enter it.

Aperture no longer showing up in my "Photos" Upload Box

I just dowloaded the updated Aperture, and after doing so, I can't find my aperture library to upload anymore.
Before, I would select on "upload" and under the "Photos" category, the aperture option would appear. On websites it no longer does, I can only see it in my gmail. Can anyone help me? Just need some instructions on how to get this option back, as I only use aperture for my photos!
Thanks

IPhoto "metadata changes" and management with possible import to Aperture 2

Sorry for the length of this but I am trying to get to figure out which will be the best product for me without having to waste more time and money. I may already have the best for what I want/need but I am not too terribly satisfied with it in its current configuration, although within itself it is great.
I currently have iPhoto '09 and, as I say, like its ease of use, etc. A feature I have really come to enjoy is the geotagging feature. But one thing that I DO NOT LIKE is how the information is not incorporated into the metadata of the file permanently, such as when I change the date or name of an image. It becomes a pain when I want to export a file for use outside of iPhoto, such as Photoshop, or if I want to email it using my Gmail account.
Questions:
1. Is there a way to have the actual image metadata permanently changed if I have renamed the image, added gps information, or changed the date/time an image was taken? If so, how?
2. Is there a way to export the information and have the information stick?
3. (An Aperture question) I do not have Aperture now but I'm thinking of purchasing it because I understand (may be dead wrong here) that Aperture can do what I need. For those who know, can it do it? If so, is there a way to get my images from iPhoto into Aperture with all of the information attached (name, description, date/time, gps, etc) seamlessly or will I be forced to redo everything?
4. (Another Aperture question) Is Aperture good for organization in and of itself? In other words, can it completely replace iPhoto while still allowing me to enjoy all of the features I currently have (seeing geotags on maps, searching with keywords, etc)?
Do you have other advice for me? If Aperture won't work or you don't like it for some reason, what to you prefer/recommend that will do what I need? Can you provide links to anything that may be helpful?
Thanks for your help and have a wonderful weekend!!!

1. Is there a way to have the actual image metadata permanently changed if I have renamed the image, added gps information, or changed the date/time an image was taken? If so, how?
You can rename an image but that’s not the same as renaming a File. Iphoto renames the image, and using the File -> Export command that title can be written to the IPTC data of the file. Also, if you choose you can use the Title as a Filename using the same Export command. You can also write the gps data using that route too. As for changing the date and time, if you use the Adjust Date and Time command you can opt to have that written to the actual file.
2. Is there a way to export the information and have the information stick?
See above. What there is no way of doing is writing that data to the files inside iPhoto - and no need to.
3. (An Aperture question) I do not have Aperture now but I'm thinking of purchasing it because I understand (may be dead wrong here) that Aperture can do what I need. For those who know, can it do it? If so, is there a way to get my images from iPhoto into Aperture with all of the information attached (name, description, date/time, gps, etc) seamlessly or will I be forced to redo everything?
Aperture works the same way - metadata is stored in the DB, not written to the file unless you choose to on export. It too is a database application. You can seamlessly move the data from iPhoto to Aperture using the ‘Import iPhoto Library command’. You can download a trial of Aperture, and I recommend you do.
4. (Another Aperture question) Is Aperture good for organization in and of itself? In other words, can it completely replace iPhoto while still allowing me to enjoy all of the features I currently have (seeing geotags on maps, searching with keywords, etc)?
Aperture is much more powerful - and complex - than iPhoto. It’s geared for the Professional shooting RAW. I can completely replace iPhoto bar some things: there’s no way currently to tag gps data in Aperture, very limited slideshows and no concept of Faces. I strongly urge you to download the trial. There’s a learning curve there.

Aperture and iPhoto - do they co-exist?

I have been using iPhotos to import all pictures/videos from Digital Camera, iPhones, iPads for over year, although I never knew where the files were stored. In the past I could only email photos within the iPhotos 11 s/w itself, but I could not attach an file in Gmail/Ymail etc.
Until last night I installed Aperture 3. I selected a folder "Pictures" and clicked Import from iPhoto Library, then I was shocked ....my Macbook HDD space shrinks from 40GB free to 1.29GB and still keep shrinking....Was Aperture copying my picture files and double-occupy my HDD space? The import runs for over 4 hours, and during that time I have to remove some of my music, videos, TV shows in Tunes to trash (to free up another 20 GB of space). Until Aperture finished importing all photos, I had only 2.5GB free
This morning I checked iPhoto, and it seems that all pictures were still there. I tried to delete a picture in iPhoto, but it still shows up in Aperture 3.
Questions -
1). How to avoid "duplication" of pictures on my MacBook Pro (i.e. iPhotos + Aperture)
2). Now all my pictures were "copied" to user/Pictures/ folder. I deleted an image (actually a sub-folder) but it seems show up in Aperture (until I delete that project). For housekeeping purposes, do I have to delete TWICE for a single file?
Any other suggestions for my scenario?
Thanks!

Thanks everyone.
I need one more clarifications - regarding how Aperture stores/index pictures.
When I "import from iPhoto Library" in Aperture, I selected save pictures to myusername/Pictures/ folder. Now whenever I deleted a project (or an image) within Aperture, and clicked on "Aperture -> Empty Aperture Trash". However, if I open Finder, I will still see the folders (and files) of the images.
Do I have duplication of my photos? Does it imply I can delete the folder "Pictures" in Finder?

Having trouble seeing a shared gmail calander

having trouble seeing a shared gmail calander on iphone 5s

That seems to be a permissions problem. Where is your shared Aperture Library located?
If you store it in a "Shared" Folder, the access control lists may cause trouble. Sharing a library works best, if you keep the Aperture Library on a separate external drive or on a disk partition with the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" set for this drive or partition. This works well also with Aperture 3.3., at least for me.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. To set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag, open the volume with "File > Get Info" from the Finder, onlock the padlock in the lower right corner and enter your admin-password. Then enable the flag in the "Sharing and permissions" brick of the panel.

When synching Contacts from GMail, some of them are missing the telephone number

I synced my contacts from my GMail account to my iPhone through Microsoft Exchange. All the contacts succesfully appeared in the iPhone, BUT most of them are missing their phone number. I already waited for the sync to end, they just won't appear.

I have same problem. I could only see a fraction of my project photos if I browse the Aperture lbrary. It is the same problem when I sync the aperture photos to my iPhone or iPad. I still cannot solve it but I know a way to go around it for your iMovie to see the pictures so that you can work on your iMovie.
Here is the work around:
Export the photos from your album to your hard disk and re-import into your iPhoto. Now you should be able to see those photos that you want to work on in iMovie when you browse your iPhot library.

Does Aperture 3.6 work with Yosimite

I have a problem with Aperture of which has developed in the last couple of days. It will not Open. Aperture had been operating OK. since loading yosimite a couple of weeks ago but all of a sudden it will not open. and I get a message.
I have followed these instructions and still I get the same message. I have also isolated the aperture Librarys.
Lanc.

I'm not entirely sure why this works now, but it does. Yay!
My problem evolved such that I, when I sent out through a different outgoing server, a recipient would see the address of the outgoing address, e.g. if I was using the gmail servers it would look like [email protected], and not the [email protected]
So as a work around I tested sending out messages with my [email protected] address in the Reply To field. That works.
Strangely, a Sent mailbox with for my [email protected] has appeared. Even messages that I've sent out with nothing in the Reply To field indicate that they've come from my [email protected] address.
Keys to making it work:
• Set up the exchange address as an IMAP account (not an exchange account)
• Use the above referenced source forge tool
• Partner with the company's IT people for whatever assistance they can offer
• Use a Reply To field with the exchange, if required

Passwords Won't Save. Outgoing Server Changed to GMail?

None of my three POP mail accounts work now. The password text box field won't save any passwords and I see the word for GMail something (outgoing server?) appearing here and there although I never intended or directly did anything that would put GMail as one of my Mail Accounts.
Note: I saw an older post, 4 years old, about this but thought I'd post again since it was Archived and it's "solution," rather drastic (i.e. delete Mail preferences) and even after I did that the problem continued.
I was able to use Time Machine to get my Mail preferences back and did have clear copy of Email Settings...but it seems now I'm back to Ground Zero: what's my username, password, Authentication, etc. and the old settings I have are not working.
I'm wondering if this is linked to recently trying a Safari Extension for Google Toolbar (now uninstalled)?
Whatever...I'd like my Mail back and for it to remember Passwords and have the correct outgoing server.

Two weeks later (after post, above)
I Solved the Problem - I reinstalled Mac OSX 10.6.6 (It was rather painless)
My Mail is working again. Safari now also again remembers passwords.
Also, my Aperture's Mail export also works. (Mail is no longer grayed out).

10.5.3 problem with Aperture 2.1

I recently spent the $200 to buy Aperture and have been enjoying it.
Until, last night I updated Leopard to 10.5.3
Last night I read about problems other people were having with RAW photos appearing black upon editing after upgrading, and NOW the same thing is happening to me.
Not only that, but upon adjustments, my photos are also appearing as a 'scrambled' graphic.
I can't seem to find the post, but I notice that touchy topics are quite often deleted from this forum very fast.
Does anybody know if Apple has addressed this and plan to release a fix?
I am a wedding photographer who has a tight deadline to deliver, hence the reason I just picked up a new imac 24" and Aperture 2.1
Now I am on hold and can not deliver my product. I hope there is some info out there.
Thanks in advance!

I'm posted an image of Aperture corruption, fresh this morning:
http://lemon.soju.co.uk/2008/06/05/would-you-trust-your-photos-to-an-application -that-does-this/
- New iMac 3.06GHz Dual Core, 4GB Memory, NVidia 512MB (received Sunday 1st June 2008)
- 10.5.2 upgraded to 10.5.3, then Aperture 2.1 trial installed
- First import of 40GB of photos, left to run overnight
- When trying to use this morning, Aperture screens were corrupt and it refused to shut down. I had to power off then boot back into Mac OS X. When I restarted Aperture it worked, but it still seemed to have problems taking over the machine - eg, I wasn't able to send mail from Gmail within VMWare Fusion until I closed down Aperture. I never have problems with VMWare Fusion.

Aperture over iPhoto - Is it worth the money?

I'm sick to death of iPhoto as I now have over 4 different libraries on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder, due to the library not opening as a folder, like iTunes does.
On top of this I went looking for a photo recently and it appears to have disappeared, despite 90% of rest of reel, still there & backed up. I fear the same has happened to another photo as I await one of my iPhoto libraries (which until now I presumed was the master), to upgrade it's software.
I know the whole non-destructive editing means more file on your computer, but don;t understand how itunes can deal with multiple hard drives and iphoto can't (leave a blank thumbnail on the index page if not available at that time, don;t set up a new library)(Rant over!)
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Is Aperture worth the €199 and does it solve these issues? Also does it integrate with Photoshop, or will I need to do that manually.
I'm tempted to delete iphoto and just use the finder.

What version of iPhoto are you using?
Iphoto can do what you want, if you take a few moments to set it up.
I want somewhere, that I can easily and efficiently store my photos in one place so that I don't have to spend 20-40mins trying to find photos when I want them.
Get a HD that's large enough for your Photos. Merge your iPhoto Libraries into one and then... you're set.
iTunes doesn't edit. Iphoto (and Aperture) do. That's a rather large difference right there.
Aperture is much more powerful than iPhoto, yes it does integrate with Photoshop, in a broadly similar way to iPhoto. But I'm concerned that if you find iPhoto frustrating hen you may have bigger issues with Aperture.
on different hard drives (due to using a laptop and not having enough space, also a recent change in computer), I never know which on is opening and when and it is next to impossible to browse in finder,
For instance, you can easily set Aperture to run a Referenced Library (where you decide where the files are stored) (and you an do that easily with iPhoto too), but that's of no use to you if you want email or upload the +edited shots you make+. They can't be accessed via the Finder either. (because there is not edited file in Aperture!)
Here's a handy guide I make for iPhoto users to access their files. Almost all of these work for Aperture too.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto:
*For Users of 10.5 and later*
You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
Uploaded with plasq's Skitch!
*For users of 10.4 and later* ...
Many internet sites such as Flickr and SmugMug have plug-ins for accessing the iPhoto Library. If the site you want to use doesn’t then some, one or any of these will also work:
To upload to a site that does not have an iPhoto Export Plug-in the recommended way is to Select the Pic in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export and export the pic to the desktop, then upload from there. After the upload you can trash the pic on the desktop. It's only a copy and your original is safe in iPhoto.
This is also true for emailing with Web-based services. However, if you're using Gmail you can use iPhoto2GMail
If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
*If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running*:
For users of 10.6 and later:
You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu. Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and later:
Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
1. *Drag and Drop*: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
2. *File -> Export*: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
3. *Show File*: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
O, and by the way, Aperture is much less that €199 on the App store. I recall it's about €70 or thereabouts.
You can download a trial from the Aperture pages on the Apple Site, too

Scrambled/corrupt graphics in Aperture 2.1.

This is a brand new Aperture 2.1 install on a new (received Sunday 1st June 2008) iMac 3.06GHz Dual Core, 4GB Memory, NVidia 512MB (MacOS X 10.5.3). I imported 40GB of photos - my first import session, left to run overnight.

I've seen a post elsewhere on the forums suggesting this may be related to 10.5.3. Has anyone seen this in Aperture on 10.5.3 or other versions of MacOS?
