Aperture unable to recognize photos on iPhone

Recently I noticed that Aperture can not see or import photos from my wife's or my iPhone. It first started over 6 months ago when it would give me an error saying video from my iPhone was an "unsupported format." Every other app could read it but not Aperture for some reason. Now recently when I plug in my phone to import my pictures the window is blank. However if I launch image capture it shows the photos and videos that are on my phone to import. I wasn't sure if anyone else has had this problem or knows how to fix it. I've tried a lot of things, even completely wiping my machine and reinstall from scratch but Aperture seems to be getting worse and worse.
Thanks!

The "File Types" brick in the Import Settings, as shown in your screenshot is looking incomplete:
- it should look like this and show more options.
Try to exclude "file Types" from the Import Settings dropdown menu and add it again. If that does not help, remove the Aperture Preferences file and restart the Mac. To remove the Preferences see: Get help with Aperture 3 - Apple Support Trouble Shooting Basics
To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Aperture.
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.
Restart your computer if you're using OS X Mavericks or later.
The locations of your Aperture libraries are stored in the preference file listed above. If you have stored your library outside the default location of ~/Pictures/Aperture Library, make a note of where the library is before deleting the Aperture preferences file. If you have more than one library, you can bring up a dialog to choose which one to load by pressing Option immediately after you open Aperture.

After iTunes 10.5 and Aperture 3.2 updates, Aperture will not recognize photos in iPhone attached to iTunes.

Any clues to getting images off iPhone now? Worked fine previous. Thanks.

I had the same issue after the updates and using iOS5. I disconnected my iPhone from the Mac, quit iTunes and reconnected my iPhone. Seemed to work. Only can't access the WHOLE camera roll.
Hope this helps someone. If I work out how to get the rest of the roll I'll post back.

I am unable to import photos from iPhone to Mac.

I am unable to import photos from iPhone to Mac. The most recently taken photos are not showing up on the screen ready to import as usual. Any thoughts as to why?

Remember: we cannot see your machine. There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 8 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Basic things like :
- What version of iPhoto.
- What version of the Operating System.
- Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For instance: 'iPhoto won't export' is best explained by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
- History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted?
- Are there error messages?
- What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
- Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

I am unable to download photos from iPhone 4, SD card and SLR camera to iPad 2 using apple accessories. It worked once and then never again. Any ideas ?

I am unable to download photos from my iphone4 , SD card , SLR camera to my ipad2 using apple accessories , please help , it has worked once and then never again.

Plumchunks-
The only accessory I know of that can be used to transfer photos from a camera or SD card to the iPad, is the Apple Camera Connection Kit. The kit consists of two adapters. One has an SD card socket. The other has a USB connector to connect directly to the camera.
I do not think you can transfer photos from the iPhone to the iPad unless you first transfer them to a computer. If you then transfer the photos to an SD card, they must have eight character names plus suffix and be stored in a DCIM folder, just as if they came from a camera.
One thing you can try is to reboot the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Rebootting will not hurt anything and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

Iphoto wont recognize photos on iphone

Iphone 5 iOS 7.1.1
Macbook iOS 10.5.8

Launch iTunes.
Connect your phone.
WHen it asks you to trust the phone, say yes.
Then try import the photos again.

Unable to delete photos from iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A

My wife needs to free up some space on her iPhone so she can take more photos and videos. She has an iPhone 5 Model MD655LL/A. In General > About the device shows a Capacity of 12.7 GB and Available 1.1 GB. She has 9 videos and 1,488 photos on this phone. She also pays about $4 a month for iCloud storage.
I've connected this device to our Mac and to one of our PCs. We are unable to remove the photos from this phone. Upon selecting a photo from any collection, I can see the trash can icon on the lower right, but it is greyed out.
Now, I've read that Apple makes it impossible to delete the photos that are synced to the iCloud. This makes sense, since the syncing process would add the photo back to your device if it's not detected in the cloud. Our dilemma is this. She needs additional space on her phone. She thought that the iCloud service would provide her with additional space beyond the limitations of her phone where she could store photos without using up her phone's storage space. Based on what I briefly read, it appears that we misunderstood the iCloud storage, at least in this regard.
Here is what I need to be able to do.
1. Back up the photos from her phone to one of our devices. Either the Mac or the PC, it makes no difference to me.
2. Then delete the photos from her phone, but retain them on the device where we backed them up.
I expected to be able to use Windows Explorer on the PC in Windows 7. But upon connecting the phone to the PC, there is no directory to the phone that shows me the image contents. Instead, there is a folder under "Computer" named "iCloud Photos". Selecting that shows a message where I expected to see a listing of contents on the device, which reads "iCloud Photos is not enabled" followed by a link "Open iCloud Control Panel". Selecting that link opens the iCloud dialog, showing iCloud Storage of 182.53 GB of 200 GB available.
Selecting the checkbox next to Photos and choosing the Options button just shows a dialog that lets me choose the iCloud Photos Location on my PC. But I don't see a list of the photos.
3. Where is a dialog that I can use to drag-and-drop in Windows 7 from the phone to a directory using Windows Explorer?
I need detailed, step-by-step instructions for this. Do we just need to cancel the iCloud account? The storage doesn't do us any good if upon deleting a photo from the iCloud the syncing process will delete photos from our computers and our phone. Do we need to configure the iCloud account differently? Also, how can we tell if a photo is locked in the cloud, and thereby permanently affixed to her iPhone.
Thanks for helping us. This has been very frustrating.

The "delete after Import" message will not always appear after the import. It appears, if you are importing from a camera or card, but I do not see it, when I import from a mobile device with iCloud Photo Library enabled and into a System Photo Library, that also uses iCloud Photo Library.
See the Photos Help: https://help.apple.com/photos/mac/1.0/?lang=en#/pht6c803201
If a message asks whether you want to delete or keep the photos on your camera after they’re imported, click Delete Items to remove the photos, or click Keep Items to keep them on the camera.
Unfortunately, this Help text does not state exactly, when it will be possible to delete after import and when not.

Unable to view photos on iPhone 4S

Hi,
There are some photos which I am unable to view on iPhone 4S 64 GB. When I open those photos it opens up with a white screen but I am able to view those in the camera roll. It only happens when I open the picture to view it in the normal size. This photos are taken from the same device. I've performed Reset, refresh but its still the same.

Aperture will not recognize photos after failed import?

Hi, I'm running a 13.3" MacBook Pro circa fall 2010 with 10.6.8.
I was uploading photos from an SD card I use with my camera. I accidentally pressed "import all", and Aperture began to import everything on the card. I did not want this, so I stopped it. A pop-up appeared, something about "if I want to finish the import first," I think. I pressed "no." It eventually all stopped after canceling it 1 or 2 more times.
After this happened, I can no longer see the photos on the SD card when trying to import them in Aperture. It just shows a grey background with "Loading Assetts..." at the bottom and the spinning wheel.
Why won't Aperture recognize these photos after this failed import? And how do I fix it!
Thank you, very much.
-P.W.

When you are seeing Aperture stuck on "Loading Assets", try to select that line in the Activity window. If possible, press "Cancel task".
Can you now access the option in the "Import" window and check the setting? Make sure, that "Do not import duplicates" is disabled, and that the "Import Settings" do not exclude any filetypes.
Check the "File Types" brick and the "Raw&Jpeg" pairs brick. Can you now see again the images on the card?
In any case, repair your Aperture library after the force quit. Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Your Aperture library may have become corrupted, so that the Import dialog cannot access the database files inside.

Aperture - Unable to share photos, by email and or Facebook

When trying to share a photo/s using Aperture 3.4.1 on a MacBook Air version OSX 10.8.2
1. by email, nothing happens - despite having set Microsoft Outlook and tried different sizes of jpg photos
2. by trying to send to Facebook, after trying to login, the message unknown error occurred Please try again later. Login details are correct as I can login to Facebook separately.
3. I can log into Flickr BUT I do not want to use flickr
Does anyone know what maybe going wrong here ?
I'll be grateful for some guidance as I am somewhat new to Macs
thank You

Is your Outlook version compatible with Mountain Lion? To be used from other Applications as Mailer it nneds to sandboxed, see this thread.
Re: since update I can not send pitures via outlook or apple mail please help
I do not think, there is a version of Outlook right now, that can be used to mail from Aperture. Use "Mail.app" instead.
I do not know, what may be wrong with Facebook upload. The update to 3.4.1 should have fixed the Facebook access problems.

IPhoto suddenly unable to import photos from iPhone 4

For some odd reason, my copy of iPhoto 09 has suddenly lost the ability to import photos and videos from my iPhone 04. The import starts, then simply hangs (without iPhoto actually freezing). If I force quit iPhoto, I then receive a message saying saying certain imported photos have not been added to the library and asking if I want to import them now. I click okay, and a just couple of oddly duplicated photos appear. iPhoto also no longer sees my iPhone unless I restart. Some mysterious corruption? Is deleting the iPhoto plist file and/ or cache likely to make a difference?

Aperture syncing all stacked photos to iPhone.

Aperture is syncing all stacked photos in my library to my phone. I was under the impression that only the pick photo would be synced.
After some trial and error I noticed that just the pick photo is stacked when syncing a normal album.
Syncing smart albums and projects will transfer all the stacked versions.
Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Hi Lukejc1
As far as I know stack picks are ignored when syncing therefore the whole stack gets synced. What you want to do is assign album picks.
If you have an album and stacks in that album choose an album pick for the stack. then only the album pick gets synced.

Unable to sync photos from iphone 3g

My iphone has over 500 pictures on it, but only about 250 are showing in iphoto. Thinking this might be an iphoto problem, I tried to sync with bridge and lightroom, but the photos are not showing for those, either. How do I force the photos to show up on my computer so I can get them off the phone?

Try the Image Capture application that ships with every Mac. If that doesn't work either consider downloading the PhotoToMac app. It transfers your photos to your Mac over WiFi.

Unable to sync photos to iPhone from iTune

I am in distress because of this problem of syncing new photos to my iphone. The problem is that in the "Photos" selection, I keep getting the spinning wheel all the time and could not see the "select folder" button. Other items like "music", "books" etc have no problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello sopravoce,
It may help to remove the iPod Photo Cache that resides in the same location as the photos being synced.

How can we get a new computer to recognize photo folders on the iPhone so they can be deleted from the iPhone?

My wife has an old Windows Vista computer that is unable to operate the new IOS. I have installed iTunes on my Windows 7 computer and authorized the computer on iTunes. We are unable to delete/recognize photo FOLDERS from her iPhone 4 on my computer within iTunes. The only photos I can pull off her phone are being recognized by the windows system as a camera plug-in from her Camera Roll on the iPhone.

iOS does not operate on the computer.
If she has Vista, she can run iTunes 11 which is needed for iOS 7.

Do you want to delete the photos on the camera or copy them back to the computer?

I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes it. Does someone know how to fix this?

I don't know what I did, but Aperture no longer sees my HD as online, and I can't get my photo versions since the HD is not online. I see it in Finder and can see the original files and even copy them from Finder, but Aperture no longer recognizes the HD, and when I try to work with the picture, it doesn't let me because it says that the master is in a volume that's offline. Does someone know how to fix this?

Just to clarify:
Does Aperture not see the drive at all (that is, does Aperture also not see the drive in the import and export dialogue) or are only the Master Files disconnected?
If Aperture does not recognize the drive at all, check the permission settings of the drive in the "Get Info" panel and make sure you have read/write access, also the "Ignore ownership on this volumn" checkmark, this should be set.
If correcting the permissions does not help, make sure you have a backup, and then use "Disk Utility" to run a check and to repair the volumn, if necessary.
If Aperture can see the drive on import and export, but only does not see the master image files, then try to reconnect your masters.
Create a smart album or use a Search with the rule: "File status: offline", to select all images that need reconnecting to their masters.
Right click on the first image of the selection.
From the Pop-up window select "Locate referenced Files..."
Now the "Reconnect All" button should appear.
Click it.
