Aperture will not import an aperture library any more

I am having exactly the same problem as described in this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/20708992#20708992
Previously I was able to use the "trick" of having a duplicate photo in the library that I wanted to import which seems to force the dialog box to appear and then you can click on Add. For some reason, that no longer works.
I have tried to import several photos from my main library into the "to be imported library" but I can no longer get the dialog box.
Does anyone have any tips to make this work?

This is something that worked for me.
If you have Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11 installed in the same machine, open the main library (to receive the imports) in Aperture and keep it open in the Projects window.
Then open a library (.aplibrary) with the projects you want to import into the main library, but with iPhoto.
In iPhoto, Aperture Projects are Named Events. In the Events window of the iPhoto, click on the Event (Project) to be imported, and drag into the Aperture Icon on the Dock on your screen. (DO NOT drag into the Aperture Projects window that nothing will happen.)
The dragged Event will show up as a new Untitled Project in the Aperture Projects window.
That's it. In my case I work usually with self-contained Aperture Libraries. But there's no reason it shouldn't work with libraries using referenced masters.
Considering that -- for all I know -- you can't have two sessions/libraries open in Aperture at the same time, I've been solving some problems in my workflow using iPhoto and Aperture open at the same time in my iMac.

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more

iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo.   It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log.    here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

I have repaired, and rebuilt the database. No change.
I have created a new database, imported 1 photo, and tried to delete it. No change.
I have copied the database (duplicated). No change.
I have deleted the iphoto preferences file. No change.
I have removed the application, and reinstalled from my iLife 11. No change.
I have removed the application and preferences folder, reinstalled from iLife 11. No change.
In addition to not being able to delete a photo, these additional problems exist:
Cannot delete an event.
Cannot move a photo from one event to another.
At this point, I'm fairly sure this is not a database issue. I'm also certain it's not related to the new update.   Anyone got an idea that isn't related to the database?

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'. Being using it fine up until today! Created over 80 words so far for subtitles but for some reason it wont allow me today!!!

Dave
Thanks for the follow up. Interesting result.
What is the specific Music Score that you used in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Mac Soundtrack that was limiting you in the number of words that could be included as text in the project's opened Titler?
Please confirm
a. Working in Expert workspace or Quick workspace?
and
b. Was the 12.1 Update in effect before and after you observed that the Music Score soundtrack removal resolved the issue of number of words limit in the Titler?
and
c. Did the Titler problem exist if you replace the Music Score soundtrack with a non Music Score music file?
and
d. If you moved the Music Score soundtrack to one of the numbered Audio Tracks, did the Titler problem exist?
If you have no Music Score soundtrack in the project, create your title of 80 plus words in the Titler, close the Titler, and then bring the Music
Score soundtrack to the project's Soundtrack, does that strategy work for you?
The above information will help me to think about what happened in your case and give me more insight into how to prevent it happening to
you in future projects.
Thanks.

Aperture will not import my iphoto library

When trying to import my iphoto library to aperture 3 I get a warning that says: Importing libraries from versions earlier than iPhoto 7.1.5 is not supported. Please upgrade your iPhoto library with iPhoto 7.1.5 or later. But my iPhoto is the most up to date version available 9.2.1 so I do not understand why I would get this warning, heck I don't even think my iPhoto was EVER that old. PLEASE HELP!

Ok so I think I got aperture to import my iPhoto library, well actually I know I did although it's either not complete or I'm not happy with how they apear and are all marked as iPhoto ariginals.
But I had backed up my iPhoto library by draggin the file "iPhoto Library" in my Pictures folder to an external drive earlier and this time I when in Aperture 3 I clicked File > Import > Import iPhoto Library I chose the one off the external instead of the original and it worked right away. So no idea why it would not work off the original but at least I got it.
And your link I think was fine, I am useing Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and for some reason when I click links safari likes to add https// to the beginning of each link or address even if it's already there let alon is not putting the colling in so it really is https// instead of http:// but thats another story. I am begining to wonder if I should have just upgraded to OS X Lion instead of the unreleased Mountain Lion as I'm guessing there will not be many updates to it till they actually release it to the public.
But if anyone else was having the iPhoto Library issue, just back it up by dragging it somewhere else than importing to aperture 3 and your all good! And thanks for refering that Frank, the help was appreciated very much.

ITunes will not import last song of any CD

Hi, hoping someone can help me out with this problem. I've been in the long process of importing all of my CD's on to my new iPod and was having no prblems until recently. From importing CD's perfectly, iTunes now stops from importing the very last song of every CD that I put in. It works right up until the last second of the last song then freezes, forcing me to ctrl/alt/del iTunes. All of the other songs go into the library. And, as an added bonus, iTunes does't play any songs on my computer - not as in I can't hear them, but as in the timer remains at 0.00 when I press play.
Can this problem be fixed at all? Any help would be very gratefully appreciated!

hi Sarah!
From importing CD's perfectly, iTunes now stops from importing the very last song of every CD that I put in. It works right up until the last second of the last song then freezes, forcing me to ctrl/alt/del iTunes

Had to reinstall OS and Itunes..Will not import songs from library folder

I reinstalled my Windows 7 OS and Installed Itunes 10.6 but when I add my ipodmusic folder to the library it does not import the songs into the library. I tries dragging and dropping a few songs but it deletes them from the folder.
Any ideas?

I think I'm having the same problem. This is what I get when I try to import songs:
The iPod “Ian” is linked to another iTunes music library. Do you want to change the link to this iTunes music library and replace all existing songs and playlists on this I Pod with those from this library?
Yes No
What is this about? My buddy accidentally hit yes, and lost all of the songs on his iPod. I simply want to update my iPod with new material. This new material was obtained while using a different computer than what I originally used when I first got my iPod. Does anyone know how I can get music from a new computer on my iPod

Multi-cam mode will not cut to other camera any more, Just goes doink when you hit the the button for the other camera

In multi-cam mode it will not change cameras anymore. even if you go to multi-cam window and click directly on the other angle it just goes doink. It was working just fine until I needed to use the audio from the other cam. It also had trouble doing that. I am using fc studio 2.

Bring multiclip to TL. Load into viewer. Go to Sync and select open; at the same time make your angle switching choices for audio and video. Play from TL and switch angles in the viewer.
Good luck.

TS3694 itunes will not install on my laptop any more. The latest update seems incompatible with Windows Vista.

The latest iTunes update will not install on my HP laptop with Windows Vista. There is a Microsoft Visual C++ runtime error message and it will not load or set p.

I reinstall Quicktime and it would not launch and gave me the same error messages.
We'd better check to see if some other application has stashed old versions of QuickTime componentry down in your system files.
So we'll go looking for the older QuickTime componentry in the most common locations for it to be stashed.
First we'll need to change some view settings.
In your Start menu, open Computer.
In your Organise menu, select Folder Options.
In the View tab, make sure that "Show hidden files and folders" is selected, and Hide extensions for known file types is unchecked.
Click OK.
Now in Computer, open your C:\ drive (or whichever drive you have your operating system installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
If you have a 32-bit version of Windows, open the "System32" folder.
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, open the "SysWOW64" folder.
What files and folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the title? (In a standard installation of Quicktime you should be seeing precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

MP3 plays on iPod and WMP but will not import to iTunes library or play with iTunes

After having this mp3 on my iPod for many years and playing it through PC whilst iPod is connected to laptop, I suddenly cannot play it anymore
Selecting it and clicking play from iPod library results in nothing happening, playing it as part of a playlist leads to iTunes skipping straight over it. I have exported the MP3 from iPod to PC and it plays just fine in Windows Media Player. Tryng to import it into iTunes from PC harddrive results in no error message and no import!
Track name and file name do not contain any irregular characters or punctuation. File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP and track still plays on iPod when not connected to PC.
I have tried the solution proposed here; https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1645916?start=0&tstart=0 but it doesn't work. Indeed, it doesn't seem to 'save' my selection when I do it.
Incredibly frustrating - please tell me someone has a solution?

File is clearly not corrupted as works in WMP
Don't assume that, because in fact iTunes is very finicky about slight MP3 corruption, and often fails where other players succeed.
Usually, a quick shot from a 3rd party tag cleanup program, as suggested by tt2, will make iTunes happy about the file again.

ITunes erased my library(!!?!), I put everything back and iTunes is now saying my iPhone 4 is not synced to my library any more. This also happened with my iPod Touch and now iTunes will not update, resync and put all my music back.

I have never used another computer to sync my phone or ipod too. I do not want to lose everything. I am quite frankly at the end of my rope and thoroughly regret the fact that I am stuck with an iphone 4 for 2 years.
Someone, anyone...help??!

Sounds like you've taken the wrong course of action after a missing library error. Ideally you would have just restored a backup at the first sign of trouble.
Each iTunes library contains a unique ID that is also recorded in any device that syncs with it. After your rebuild the two IDs won't match so iTunes will try to treat the devices as "new".
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Alternatively, for each device...
You should be able to transfer your purchases into a newly authorised library, backup the device, recover any non-store purchased media with the tips in this post from forum regular Zevoneer, (skip this if you've already got all the media) then restore the device from the backup you just made. That should preserve all your data and switch the assocation of the device to the new library. I've had positive feedback on this method from other users but I've never had to test it personally.

IMovie will not recognize my iTunes library-any suggestions?

Trying to import music from iTunes library (set up as iTunes Match) into iMovie, but when I click music icon on the right to import and prompt iTunes/Sound effect options-nothing comes up. The sound effects are there, but my iTunes library is not. It says to 'Open iTunes to Populate this list' at the bottom right of the menu.
I've updated iTunes as well as iMovie, hoping to resolve. But no luck.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

As far as I can tell iMovie only sees music that you've downloaded to your computer. Identify it and then go to iTunes and redownload the song and it should be solved.

IPhoto 6 will not import iPhoto 5 library

after installing iphoto 6 when I try to open it the upgrade process stops and says there is a problem with the iphoto 5 library. It suggests checking the read & write permissions - which I did. The iphoto 5 library is where it's suppose to be and looks fine. How do I get iphoto 6 to upgrade these photos, or how do I get past this dialogue so I can start iphoto 6 and import the photos from my originals? Thanks so much for any help with this.

Steven:
Welcome to the iView Forum. Give this a try:
Download and run BatChmod on the V4 library folder with the settings shown here, substituting you account name for mine.

Charger will not slide fully into ipad any more.

Charger does not slide into IPAD. Unable to charge. Tried different charger and it doesn't do all the way in either. Any suggestions?

The dock connector is probably damaged. Make an appointment at an Apple store and bring the iPad in to be evaluated.

Just installed Iphoto 6 and many photos will not import to Iphoto...

About half of my photos from one of my rolls from this Spring will not import into Iphoto6. I can open them up from my hard drive but they will not import into Iphoto. Any tips?
g4 tower Mac OS X (10.3.9)

Chris:
Even though you've gotten back up and running if you have any thumbnails that show up as blanks again try the following: download and run BatChmod on the iPhoto Library folder with the settings shown here, substituting your account name for mine. You can either type in the path to the folder or just drag the folder into that field.
The blank thumbnails after updating to v6 are often a result of permissions on the files getting messed up somehow preventing you from having access to them. Running BatChmod on the library folder as demonstrated will force the correct ownership and permissions on all of the files.
Do you Twango?

Iphoto will not import photos

iphoto 11 will see the pictures from digital media but will not import to mac. Any suggestions on a fix?

That was a test. It means you're old library needs to be repaired.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Regards
TD
