Can´t create new Version from Image with meta/adjustment?

I have some Images (.tiffs) which have Metadata/Adjustments but I can´t create a new Version from them.
Any idea what to do??
thanks appreciate your help!

'weeks of work'. that's far too much to just let go of. so...
(re-reading your original message...)
'capturing' means simply importing, right?
but you've made adjustments to the images after import?
and you've added keywords/IPTC/metadata to the images after import?
I'd try:
A. split the tiff project/s into smaller projects (100 images or so) if you haven't already done so. (this'll take a while because Aperture slows down significantly when master images are moved around)
B. export the projects.
C. delete the projects from inside Aperture. there should be none of your 'problematic' tiff images remaining in the library.
D. relaunch Aperture and rebuild the library.
E. import the projects one at a time, rebuilding the library after each import in case there is something in the project's data files that needs fixing.
F. try to do what you want to do with the images in the project.
if everything works ok, then import the next project and repeat steps E and F.

  • Aperture creating new version of image for each adjustment applied!

    To anyone out there who can sort this one out, I will be forever grateful!
    Here's the problem. I'll be jamming away in Aperture, adjusting photos like a madman. After adjusting a random number of photos (it usually varies between 5-30 photos or so after starting Aperture each time), the adjustments panel will no longer update when I click on a new image (i.e. it holds the info from the last image I adjusted and will continue to apply new adjustments to that last image even if another image is highlighted). If I switch to the metadata panel and then back to adjustments it will refresh itself and recognize the currently selected image (although I have to do this for EACH image I want to adjust once it starts acting up like this). The BIG problem is that even if I get the adjustments panel to recognize the selected image at this point, for EACH adjustment I apply it makes a new version of the image. For example, if I first change the contrast, it will make Version 2 of the image and select it (which is what it's supposed to do for the first adjustment, because I have "create new versions when making adjustments" checked in my preferences), but if I then make another adjustment like changing the saturation, it makes Version 3 of the image (from the master, so that only the saturation adjustment is applied and not the contrast adjustment). As you can imagine, this utterly destroys my once incredibly efficient Aperture workflow and makes it pretty much impossible to use Aperture for adjustments unless I turn off "create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences, at which point it does seem to work again (although I've only tried it on a few images, so not 100% sure it will work properly even then). If I restart Aperture (or my computer), it will work normally again for a few pictures and then will start acting up again with the same problem.
    Originally I was running into this problem on my PowerBook G4, and so I figured it was just because Aperture didn't like my wussy G4 processor and was acting up when the load got too heavy (after all, the adjustments would work fine for up to 30 images or so). However I recently purchased a sexy iMac 24" 2.8 GHz and maxed out the RAM to 4GB, but I'm still getting the same darned problem with Aperture on my iMac. Yes, I'm using the same library of photos I was using on my PowerBook G4.
    This problem has been plaguing me for about 3 months now (everything else in Aperture works fine so I'm still using it to import and organize my photos, I just haven't been able to make adjustments on large groups of pictures for a while), and I've searched and searched these forums countless times to see if anyone has run into similar problems, but I've not seen a single mention of it. I've also tried EVERYTHING mentioned for similar problems (rebuilding library, vacuuming database, erasing com.apple.aperture.plist preference file, repairing permissions, reinstalling Aperture, making burnt offerings to Steve Jobs), and NOTHING is working. ARRGH!!
    For those who might have some words of wisdom to offer this delighted-***-miserably frustrated Aperture user, here are a few more details about my setup:
    I have a library of about 37,000 photos, the vast majority of them being RAW .CRW files from a Canon 10D. The 25GB library file is stored on my internal hard drive, and all photos are referenced from an external LaCie 500GB FireWire 400 hard drive. I have a LOT of export plug-ins installed in Aperture, but no image adjustment plugins. I have generated previews turned off for all projects. I've had the same problem on both my PowerBook G4 and new iMac 24" 2.8 GHz. One other thing worth mentioning is that instead of upgrading from 2.1 (which was already giving me this problem) to 2.1.2, I downloaded the full version of 2.1.2 and installed it. I noticed that my 2.1 Aperture.app file was less than 100MB, whereas the 2.1.2 Aperture.app file is over 300MB. Don't know if that's normal or not.
    The only other thing I can think of to try at this point is to load a new library into Aperture and import a large group of pictures and make adjustments to them to potentially see if my problem is being caused by Aperture or by the library. Will probably try that tomorrow.
    I would appreciate any advice or feedback anyone can offer about this nasty little problem, as it's giving me a serious hormonal imbalance.
    THANKS!

    Thanks for the reply RB, but my current workflow depends on me creating new versions when I make adjustments. I suppose as a temporary solution I will probably have to either turn this preference off or just be willing to constantly restart Aperture. At least I finally found another thread with the same problem, so finally I don't feel completely alone in the far reaches of the Aperture universe. For anyone who is interested, here is the link to that thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8555067
    It appears this problem is closely related to the ubiquitous black viewer problem that seems to be plaguing far more users than my issue (although I've run into the black viewer problem a few times myself), as both problems force Aperture to output the following message to Console:
    Main Thread Exception in Aperture: * -NSCFArray objectAtIndex:: index (1) beyond bounds (1)
    It seems that both of these problems existed in Aperture 1 and 1.5 up until the 1.5.6 upgrade which seems to have fixed it, but then with Aperture 2 the problem seems to have returned. At least that's the gist of what I've been reading on a number of threads. Whatever the case, I hope Apple gets this sorted out in their next update!
    As it appears there is no proper answer to this problem at the moment, I'm gonna go ahead and mark this thread answered (and since you were kind enough to at least take the time to reply RB, you can be credited with the answer... thanks!).

  • Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do

    Can't create new pdfs from powerpoint; either form within Adobe or within powerpoint.  I could do this yesterday and today it won't work for some reason.  The error says "an unexpected error occurred.  PDFMaker was unable to produce the Adobe PDF.  How do I fix this?

    Is there a log file in the document folder indicating what the problem was. There are a number of reasons that PDF creation may fail. You can try to print to the Adobe PDF printer to see if there is any indication in that process. The processing is different, but the same problems may show up with both processes.

  • No new version from Open With External Editor?

    Is there a way to not create a new version every time I use "Open with External Editor"?
    If I want to open an image in PS, just opening it creates a new version in Aperture, even if I don't make any adjustments to the image in PS.
    I've deselected "Create new versions when making adjustments" in the preferences.
    Thanks for anyone's insight!

    Not sure this will help, but I noticed this problem as well a while ago, but have since developed a work around...
    All my files start off as RAW. When I use "Open in External Editor", Aperture generates a new version with a bulls eye target (this is my C2 version). If manipulate this image in CS and save it when I close, it remains as a bullseye target (look at the lower right corner in full screen). If I reopen this specific image, no new file will be generated. If I manipulate it in Aperture, a new file will be generated (but without the bullseye target) and if I then use "Open in External Editor" another new file will be generated.
    I have never checked to see what happens with a primary PSD file imported. And I am sure the meaning the bullseye target is in the manual someplace.
    So my workflow is RAW file-->all my desired aperture adjustments-->open in external editor for final clean up and modification. I end up with my original RAW file (Aperture modified and restorable to original by removing all selections) and one CS2 file. If I want several version off of my first CS2 file, I duplicate version of the CS2 file, and the open the bullseyed version NOT the new duplicate version image.
    Hope this helps...i know is seems wierd, but it works

  • Can not create new page from template

    I have been working on a new site for the last couple of
    weeks and have created several pages using a basic template.
    All of the child pages of this template still update when
    changes are made to it, however I can no long create new children

    Any ideas as to what the problem might be.

    my guess is that you are opening the .dwt template file and
    doing a "Save
    As". That page is not a "child" page of the template.

  • Can I create a dll from labview with more that one function name

    I know that when I create a dll from C and then call it in labview using the call library function node I can see the different functions on the configuration screen. Is there a way to create a dll in labview to have more than one function name? No matter how many functions happen in my VI it seems to build into a dll under the same function name requiring inputs for every function, can this be avoided somehow?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Each function corresponds to a separate VI. When creating the dll, on the Source Files tab of the app builder, click the Add Exported VI for each VI that you want. SubVIs of a main are not automatically exported and will not be available as separate function calls.

  • Can't create new contacts from email message

    I get an email message that has a phone number in it and of course an email address. I want to create a new contact. I hold down on the phone number and a dialog appears asking if I want to add to contacts. I select it and press Create New Contact. I type in a name. I click Done. The dialog disappears. I go to Contacts and there is no entry. Is this supposed to work?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    This solved it. Don't know why. Shouldn't be like this. When I searched for it, the file appeared. Not only it it appear but my three other attempts appeared as well. All four of them are in Contacts. That's a bit wacked I think.
    Thanks very much.
    Wait it gets better. I went back to the email. Clicked the email address to save it. Selected Add to existing contact. Found the contact. Added it. Click Done, and the name is gone again from the Conatcts directory. Used the search function again, and it reappeared.
    But there's more. Left the phone app. Came back to it and the name is gone again. Apparently every time I want this name I have to add it by searching in Spotlight, and of course it's not updating iCloud so it's never going to get back to my computer.

  • Exporting Versions to image with meta data

    Hey folks, I'm looking to find an Aperture Plugin that will export processed images (versions) with all its associated meta data in XML format.
    I intend to use this exported data in a custom application - I've seen export plugins to Picasa, and others, but so far they just seem to handle the images alone.
    Can anyone suggest a location to where I might find such a beast? (or is anyone in development of this? - I'm very surprised it isn't included as a built-in feature.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ted

    Has anyone had success with Ubermind's Aperture to FileMaker?
    I've had it work once or twice, but usually, despite rigorously following their apparently simple instructions, Aperture refuses to recognize the database.
    Would be pleased to know if there's something they haven't been clear about in their instructions.

  • I am able to 'create a new version from original' but when I try to export the original, I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. The original is obviously there but why can't I access it please?

    In Aperture 3 when I right click on an image I am able to 'create new version from original' which suggests that the original is there. When I try to export the original I only get a .jpg with the XMP file. These particular images are from 2010, has the RAW file become disconnected somehow? Please, how do I get access to the RAW file for editing in Ps? Thank you. Thomasrevil.

    Sorry leonie, 'Use RAW as Original' is not an option for the image shot with the Canon.
    Then your Import settings must have been different, when you imported the Canon photos.
    You can check, if there is still a hidden raw file somewhere. If the image has been imported as a pair, you should see the "J" badge in Browser and Viewer, if you enable badge overlays. This indicates a pair, with the jpeg as original.
    Select one of those images, and then relocate the original files "File > Relocate original" to a folder, where you can inspect it. Use "File > Show in Finder" after ward. Look, don't touch .
    Then put it back, using "File > Consolidate".
    Do you see your raw files in the folder, or is only a jpeg there?

  • New versions of images won't upload properly

    I am having trouble uploading new versions of images with the
    same file name, and I cannot figure out why.
    http://obviate.us/catalog/index.php
    You can see the corners of the blue side bar headers do not
    match the color of the rest of the header. I changed the color of
    the headers in my CSS file, and the corners are GIFs.
    I changed the colors of the corners in Photoshop to match the
    headers and saved them with the same file name.
    I tried saving the GIFs as both RGB and Indexed Color (what
    they started out as) after editing.
    I made sure they were in the correct folder.
    However, when I upload the edited GIFs, the image doesn't
    change to the new one when I reload the page.
    I've been able to edit these very images before with no
    problems.
    any ideas as to why this may be happening?

    Are you sure you saved the new images in this directory:
    http://obviate.us/catalog/images/infobox/?
    That is where the images are
    located. Try and delete the old images ON the server, and
    then move the new
    images back.

  • HT1550 I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    I'm having trouble with importing them into iTunes and converting them at the same time. when i hold down option over the files i can't find where its supposed to say create new version. is this if you're in iTunes?

    You can't do it in one step. Add to iTunes first, Once the tracks are in iTunes you may convert to a different format.

  • Why can't I create new version in iTunes 11?

    I have iTunes 11.0.2.26.
    I just bought two HD movies from the iTunes store.  I have a 160 GB iPod Classic, and I want to upload the movies to my iPod.  I know you ahve to go to File>Create New Version>Create iPod or iPhone Version, but those options are grayed out on my computer.  I have already done this once with iTunes 10 and a different movie, but now iTunes will not let me do it.  Does anybody know why and what I need to do to be able to convert this?  Thanks in advance.

    Found the answer at the link below.  This is the dumbest process, but at least you can redownlad your movies in SD in order to sync them on your phone or iPod.  Hope this helps someone else...

  • How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?

    How can I read pdf files from LabVIEW with different versions of Acrobat reader?
    I have made a LabVIEW program where I have possibility to read a PDF document.  When I made this LabVIEW program it was Acrobat Reader 5.0.5 that was installed on the PC. Lather when the Acrobat Reader was upgraded to version 6.0, there was an error when VI tries to launch the LabVIEW program. And Later again when we upgraded to Acrobat Reader 7.0.5 I must again do some changes and rebuild the EXE files again
    It isn't so very big job to do the changes in one single LabVIEW program, but we have built a lot of LabVIEW programs so this take time to due changes every time vi update Acrobat Reader. (We have build EXE files.)
    The job is to right click the ActiveX container and Click "Insert ActiveX Object", then I can brows the computer for the new version of acrobat Reader. After this I must rebuild all the "methods" in the Activex call to make the VI executable again.
    Is there a way to build LabVIEW program so I don't have to do this job every time we update Acrobat Reader?
    This LabVIEW program is written in LabVIEW 6.1, but I se the problem is the same in LabVIEW 8.2.
