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.

  • 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?

    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.

  • IPhoto will not load the iPhoto library.  When I select "show all windows" the library does appear but cannot open it.  I am on version 8.1.2 and using Maverick.

    I was able to get it fixed. I had received some responses and they had me
    recreate the library I believe.  It's been a while so I cant remember
    exactly what I did. I have since upgraded to the latest i photo version and
    have had no problems with it.

    Iphoto will not open my iPhoto library......have tried everything.  This has only happened in the last week.
    I have tried everthing suggested on the forum.

    Did you follow these directions?
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.>Click on the Add Library button,
    2 -  select the library you want to add from those in the selection window.
    3 - make sure that in the rebuild window the checkbox  "Scavange orphaned photos" is checked.
    4 - now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    5 - in the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed. Click on the Create button.
    Note 1: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note 2:  Your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

  • .CR2 will not import into  iphoto 08 7.1.5

    I have a few hundred photos taken by a friend that i am trying to import into my iphoto library.
    Getting an unrecognizable file message.
    I shoot on a Canon XSi in RAW and have no issues importing to iphoto, Apature or photoshop....
    her images were shot on a Canon TSi in RAW and will not import into any of my programs.

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • Aperture will not import all CR2 (iPhoto is fine....)

    I'm currently attempting to move from a PC to a Mac. For the most part this has been a positive experience however Aperture is starting to bug me.
    My photo library has been copied across and some old NEF files converted to JPEG. The library is located in a folder in the Pictures directory. The entire library imports fine into iPhoto.
    When attempting to import into Aperture I get seemingly random rejection of CR2 files. Photos prior to the failure import fine. Photos after the failure import fine. Around 20% of images are rejected.
    When the failure occurs no error messages are sent to the console. Examination of photo metadata shows not significant differences between photos that work and photos that do not. Changing the file name to something shorter does not help.
    Restarting Aperture does not work. Restarting the OS does not help. Downgrading to RAW 2.1 does not help.
    The only similar report I have found was from people having issues with CF cards, and the solution was to copy the files locally and then import....
    I'm not going to convert my CR2 files to DNG or JPEG just because Aperture is buggy. Other than that any suggestions would be greatly appreciated (is there an Aperture log file somewhere ?)
    Camera: Canon EOS 30D
    Aperture 2.1.2
    OSX 10.5.6
    Raw Bundle 2.5
    iPhoto 09
    Thanks !

    I seem to be having the same problem. I was to shoot an entire stage production with a canon 50D and when I only had a 4gb card at my disposal, I wanted to take some more pics so I went with Raw2. apparently aperture doesnt like this. it imported the project but all it gives me are thumbnails and in the canvas it says "unsupported image format".
    what do they expect me to do...spin back time and reshoot the entire production? no i dont think so...apple needs to get on this (if they havent already) and make this work.

  • Where can I find the photos that were not import in iPhoto library?

    Hi,
    when I open iphoto it always asking me "  9 photos have been found in the iphoto library that were not imported. would you like to import them?
    it does't matter if I answer no ro yet  it will ask me again when I open next time.
    Thanks

    Go to the iPhoto library (by default in your pictures folder) and right click on it - show package contents - find a folder names import or importing and drag it to the desktop (do not make any other changes of any sort) - close the package and launch iPhoto - you should be find - check the import(ing) folder on the desktop and if it has any photos in it you want import them then trash the fokder

  • Images NOT importing to iPhoto library, I only end up with thumbnails.

    I am importing images to my iPhoto 11 library, but I only end up with thumbnails. Originals are NOT importing as masters. In Advanced Preferences, I DO have 'Copy items to iPhoto Library' checked. I have tried importing jpg's from a folder and a DVD, and results are always the same - thumbnails only, no originals to be found.
    What am I doing wrong?

    I got the same problem, BUT it didn't worked on my iPhoto, i have also tried to rebuild it whit ¨iPhoto Library Manager¨ that didn't worked to.
    I have a iMac 21.5 ultimo 2013 2,9 GHz Intel Core i5, and i bought it from another guy, so i just wanted to start my ¨new¨ iMac on a fresh, didn't wanna use my backup file on my Time Machine, everything else (what i wanted to have on my iMac, like files, programs, musik) i have on my old MacBook is now on my iMac, except all my photo´s.
    I can't find a way to get it, only have thumbnail in iphoto, i can't get the masters to open up.
    Can you please help me??

  • IPhoto 9.5.1 will not upgrade my iPhoto library

    Having moved to a new MacBook Pro, iPhoto 9.5.1 crashes every time I open it. First I get a message prompting me to upgrade my library, offering only Upgrade and Quit as options. After I choose upgrade, all seems to be going well for the first hour or so, until the blue bar gets to within a centimetre of the end. And there it stays. I have left it for 16 hours to sort itself out, and it doesn't. Meanwhile iPhoto shows up as Not Responding in Force Quit.
    I don't know what version of iPhoto my old MacBook Pro was running, but it must have been later than 7, because I have tried to run the iPhoto Library Upgrader, which assures me that my library doesn't need to be upgraded. I'm not really clear why iPhoto insists that it does.
    Any ideas?

    As a test launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and create a new, test library.  Import some photos and test to see if the same problem persists. Does it?
    If trying to create a new library also crashes try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder:
    User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks, 10.9,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

  • Iphoto will not open my iphoto library

    Hello, this is my first question.  I have OS X 10.8.2, iphoto 9.4.1.  When I open iphoto, it asks what library I want to use.  I want to select "other library".  I see an iphoto library 2, but when I click on the open button, nothing happens.  I have tried opening the iphoto library while holding down the control and command keys, but I do not get an option to rebuild the library like was stated on one of the posts here.
    Thanks

    If you really cannot get iPhoto to recognize the Photo Library, try to rebuild using iPhoto Library Manager:
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In Library Manager it's the FIle -> Rebuild command)
    This rcent post by Terence Devlin explains what this will do:

  • 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

  • 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.

  • TIP: What to do if the Recovered Photos File will not import into iPhoto...

    Like many others in this forum, I just upgraded to iWork/iLife '06. When I installed iPhoto '06 it trashed my existing iPhoto Folder and placed all of my other existing photos (those not already imported previously into iPhoto) into a recovered photos file. I tried and tried and tried to import those "recovered photos" into iPhoto but it kept returning an error message on import "Unreadable file"
    Finally I selected the "recovered files" then clicked on "Get Info" and found that the permissions were "locked" with a padlock icon. Clicking once on the padlock opened the permissions back to me the "owner" and the iPhoto allowed me to import all of those 425 "recovered photos". Whew! I hope this tip helps someone else out - I had to figure this out on my own...

    The fact that you can use the Raws from your XSi is of no relevance.
    The Raw from every model of camera is different. Note: that's every model not every brand. So, the NEF produced by a Nikon D40 is not the same as the NEF produced by a D60, the CR2 produced by a Canon 350 is not the same as the CR2 produced by a Canon 400.
    Changing the Raw specification is one of the ways of upgrading the cameras.
    IPhoto and Aperture support -  or don't -  the same cameras.

  • 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.

  • Aperture: Will not import images from a device connected to my macbook pro USB port

    so i've scanned and scanned many iscussions and came up with no answers to my problem and i know there must be a simple solution. why can't i sync my photos anymore and why are some of my previews missing? from my iphone even though they are ON my iphone just not in the previews? what am i missing?? is there help out there in the ether world??
    thanks

    Need more info :-) .  What problem are you trying to solve?  In what way is the behavior of Aperture different from what you expct?
    "Preview" means something specific in Aperture.  Is that what you mean?
    What photos are you trying to sync?
    You mention "import" in your subject but not in your message.  It is not possilble to provide good advice without knowing what you are asking.
    Ask for clarification if you don't know what "Previews" are, or what "import" means.  Don't worry about asking -- Aperture is a very complex and difficult program.
