Aperture won't detect all photos from Camera

Hi everyone, i have got an annoying problem when trying to use aperture
My system: 27inch iMac, Snow Leopard 10.6.2, Aperture 2.1.4
Camera: Canon 5D MK2
I went out to film a wedding, and took about 1000 photos, when i came home and connect my camera to iMac via USB, and click IMPORT, aperture starts to show the pics from the camera..
However, it only found about 400 pics in the camera..
I have to unplug USB, quit aperture, and restart.. it found about 700
again, it found all that 1000 photos
why is this? anyone had this problem before? Thanks

Can't offer you a solution, but I can keep you company.
Had this issue myself with a 400d since I converted to Mac. Always takes 2 attempts to import all photos. Installed SN before I installed Ap so can't give you a before and after scenario. However, I have tried different memory cards, USB cables and USB ports on my MBP to no effect.
All photos will import from the camera to Paint Shop Pro or to proprietary Canon s/ware on a PC & I have no issues importing from USB sticks. So to my mind that narrows it down to an Ap specific issue. I've endured the problem as I've been saving to upgrade my cam body for 10 months & hoped to buy my way out of the extra step in my workflow. However, guess which cam body I was going to go for?!

    What version of iPhoto. iPhoto 11 9.4.3 (720.91)

    Detail.  I Attach my camera and the fields where the photos usually show up are empty and at the top of the screen it says all photos from camera are downloaded. But they are not. They can't be.
    I fixed the problem somewhat myself by removing the miniSD and manually inserting it. It did not populate automatically. I had to open iPhoto and then it populated only the most recent photos I had taken which fortunately were the only ones I need. No error messages this seems to be a new occurrence.
    Is there a way to just turn iPhoto off and download my photos to the folder of my own choosing?

    Sure - in the iPhoto prefercences set action when a camera is ocnnected to Image Capture

  • Aperture won't export all photos to Mail

    Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.

    I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.

  • I migrated my old IMac to new and Aperture won't let me import from camera

    I migrated old iMac to new and Aperture will not let me import from camera from. Migrating created two users and I get an error message saying I do not have permission write. I have gone to get info and it says I have read and write permissions.

    That's the problem.  Apple doesn't make it clear that you should transfer when the new Mac starts up, not later on with Migration Assistant. 
    which told me to enter a new name . I had the new computer and old with same name. I called the new user my name with word "old" so not the same name as old Mac.
    The problem isn't the names, it's the (mostly hidden) User ID number (UID).  See the pink box in Problems after using Migration Assistant for an explanation of what happened.
    Your best bet is to use one of the workarounds (probably #4) in the green box there, to re-transfer your account.  It will have exactly the same name and permissions as before.
    If you want to change the name, you can, but it takes a minor finagle. Post back if you want to do that.

  • IPhoto won't import jpeg photos from camera

    I've been using the same method to import photos from my camera to iPhoto '09 with no problem ever since we got this computer. All of the sudden, the photos will not import and the error message says the file format is unreadable. All photos have the name.jpg format.

    Welcome to Apple Discussions, Julie.
    Remove the following to the trash and restart the computer and try again:
    Home > Library > Caches (I remove the whole folder. It will be re-generated upon restart.)
    Home > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iPhoto (There will may be more than one. Remove them all.)
    If the issue persists these jpeg files may be damaged. Try importing them using Image Capture found in Macintosh HD > Applications.
    If Image Capture can import them you can then try to add them to iPhoto.
    If you still get the same error message try opening the files with Preview by double-clicking on them. You can then go to File > Save As > Format > TIFF and add those files to iPhoto.
    Consider using these best practice tips to avoid or minimize the impact of issues in the future:
    _Ensure your camera has a full charge on the battery before you import (Or run off of AC if possible).
    _Ensure the date and time on the camera are correct before importing.
    _If you are using a media card reader and are getting regular failures, try using a different reader or the camera itself (The same is true about importing directly from the camera. Try a reader instead.)
    _Plug the camera directly into the computer with a solid connection, no loose cables. Don't use a hub.
    _Reformat the camera's media card using the camera itself between uses.
    _Alternate between multiple media cards during photo shoots (trips, etc) so that if one card goes bad (they are just little bits of plastic after all) you don't lose the entire shoot.
    Hope that helps.

  • How do you push all photos from camera roll to photostream?

    My photos in camera roll  do not all get copied to photo stream when I connect the phone to wifi. Is there a way to make sure all photos are transferred so that I can retrieve them on my Mac?

    Thank you very much for the info! I'm just confused - why only a few photos not being able to be pushed to the photo stream. I'm guessing that's an issue with broken wifi connections or something. I'm just wondering if there is a way to re establish the sync so that all my photos are in photostream.
    I'm not too keen to use iTunes coz I think syncing over the cloud is exactly what the invention of photo stream is for. What do you think have caused this? Is there a fix? Cheers!

  • HT201317 why my apple tv 3 won't load all photos from my photo stream

    I have over 500 pictures on my Photo Stream and it shows on my iPhone 4S and on iPhoto o my MacBook but on my Apple TV it only loads 10 pictures. What is going on?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
    The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device, it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

  • Aperture 3.2.1 not importing all photos from card reader

    Aperture is not importing all photos from the card reader, i tried importing 720 photos and it was only seeing 480 photos, the card reader stopped reading, aperture was saying "loading assets", still,  like if it was still reading the card. and the first time it loaded the pictures the import button was not availllable once not all the photos were not all loaded when the loading assets message stopped.
    i  had to force quit aperture, ejecting the card from the reader, aperture, on relaunch was still seeing the card as present but it was ejected from the finder , and  physicaly on the desk.
    i had to go in Apple Acticity monitor to find a process that was still active , someting called mass media and had to stop it.
    my work around was manually copying the content of the card on the external hard drive about  9 gig of photos on the external HDD where i keep my aperture photos.  copying 9 gig of photos over usb2 took an 50 minutes.
    i had jpegs raw and some videos in 720p
    i have a MBP 2.26 ghz 13"
    a Canon 7D and a Lexar 16 gig compact flash card.

    I'm sorry, but I can't understand this paragraph. It seems like the "loading assets" message stopped but not all the photos were showing up in the import window. Were any of the photos duplicates? How long did you wait until you forced quit?
    When you say "the first time it loadedthe pictures" you mean you attempted before and got the same result?
    It does seem like it is either getting stuck on an image or is taking a long time to read the images off the card since the import button is not available...
    When you copied the files to your external drive, you were then able to import to Aperture?
    Thanks

  • How can I get all photos from the camera roll onto the photo stream so they will share between iphone and ipad?

    How can I get all photos from the camera roll, and all new pictures taken, to get on the photostream so they can share between iphone and ipad?

    When turning PhotoStream on with photos available in the Camera Roll, only photos captured by the iPhone or saved on the iPhone are placed in the PhotoStream.
    For all photos that were in the Camera Roll prior to turning PhotoStream on, import the photos with your computer and add the photos to your PhotoStream on your computer.

  • Bridge 'get photos from camera' stopped working and Bridge won't recognize my DNG files anymore

    So, I've got Bridge set up to get pictures from mem.card whenever I insert one in my laptop (win. 8.1). A week ago I installed Sony's PlayMemories. Without asking me it hijacked Bridge's task of getting pictures from my cards. What's worse, I tried to fire the 'get photos from camera' function manually from Bridge. Bridge starts working, but nothing happens. I uninstalled PlayMemories and reset Bridge, also told my laptop to run Bridge whenever I insert a card. Still nothing happens and I still can't get the 'get photos' function to run manually from Bridge. Anyway, I can still rund the DNG converter to get my pictures, but today Bridge won't recognize my DNG files - worked fine yesterday. I downloaded CS6 from this link https://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/policy-pricing/cs6-product-downloads.html  and tried to run the installer, but it doesn't seem to do anything. Maybe I need to do a full uninstall off CS6 for it to do anything..?  Anyway, if any of you guys could help me with my Bridge/CS6 issues I'd be grateful.  I've got 3 sets of concert photos and a snowboard comp. shoot I need to finish this week 
    CS6 running on windows 8.1

  • I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date.  Next, I did a sync with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence.  Any idea how to put the photos back into date files?

    I loaded my ipad photos from camera and all the pictures sorted by date.  I later sync my ipad with my computer and the photos were all reorganized into IMPRT folders an out of date sequence.  Any idea how to put the photos back into date files other than reloading all of them from camera?

    What version of iPhoto?
    Select one and rotate it. Then rotate it back. Does that make it appear? 
    A much better work flow is the keep the photos after importing.  Check the success the import, wait for at least one successful backup cycle then use you camera's format command to reformat the card

  • IPhoto won't download photos from camera.

    iPhoto won't download photos from camera. iMac 10.6.8; iPhoto updated. No Name comes up, says "downloading," but color wheel only goes round and round. I've let it go on for 20" to no avail. Only way to get out of iPhoto then is to Force Quit. Tried downloading pictures through a Card Reader with same results.
    Same camera, same procedure for last 5 years and never had this problem. Thanks for any advice.

    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.

  • How do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

    how do i import photos from camera without iPhoto

    You can import pictures from the device using Image Capture:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    If Image Capture does not open automatically, you can navigate to your Applications folder and open Image Capture from there.
    Choose the location to which you'd like to import pictures.
    Click Options.
    Click the Options tab if it isn't already selected.
    Enable the option "Delete items from camera after downloading".
    Note: Deleting photos after importing helps to reduce Camera Roll size, and it improves backup and restore times. You may choose Keep Photos if you wish to import the photos to additional computers.
    Click OK.
    Click Download All.
    If you have Aperture, you can use it to import your photos. See the Aperture User Guide for more information.
