Can't imoprt images into Aperture from CF card

I have just installed Aperture into my Mac Book Pro. I connected my card reader (with compact flash card) to a usb port which opened Aperture. I selected "import images" and Aperture correctly identifies my camera (Canon 5D) and CF reader, but displays "No images to import. Yet I am able to import these same image files (RAW) into iPhoto or Adobe Bridge with no problem. I have deleted & re-installed Aperture with the same results. Help!

This post was a couple weeks ago and the original poster may have found a solution already. But, I'm posting to offer a different explanation for others that may have the same problem.
When I get the "No images to import", it is because Aperture is not done scanning the CF card. Some cards apparently take longer to scan, especially the larger cards. I had never seen this error before I bought larger CF cards. Compact Flash cards that are 2GB-4GB never give me this problem as the cards are scanned quickly.
I usually go do something else and come back. I don't think it has taken more than a couple minutes before the "No images to import" button changes to reflect the number of images on the card and enabled. My largest CF is 16GB. If you have something larger, I would probably give it 5-10 minutes.
Hope this helps someone.

Can't upload photos into iphoto from memory card

Hi there
I have been using iphoto for a while now and have never had any problems before. Today I have tried to upload some photos from my memory card (inserted directly into my macbook).
Iphoto reads the card (all pics come up in iphoto) but the "import selected" and "import all" boxes are greyed out.
Any ideas?
Many thanks....

Open the memory card on the Desktkop and drag the folder containing the photos to the Desktop. From there see if you can import them into iPhoto.

Auto import images into aperture...and continue importing...

i know that there is a script to import images into aperture, but i need to use this with a tethered camera....so i use a canon app to shoot files to a folder and as the files come in, i need them to get imported as they keep coming in....i am only referencing them, so they are actually staying within the folder....i can import the files but i don't know how to/which command "keeps checking the folder for new files that came in" hope this makes sense....
i know that there is a "hot folder" app available which seems to be a automator app, but it is superslow and only brings in every 4th or 5th image (and sometimes just brings everything to a halt...)

How can I assign image file name from Main() class

I am trying to create library class which will be accessed and used by different applications (with different image files to be assigned). So, what image file to call should be determined by and in the Main class.
Here is the Main class
import org.me.lib.MyJNIWindowClass;
public class Main {
public Main() {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MyJNIWindowClass mw = new MyJNIWindowClass();
mw.s = "clock.gif";
And here is the library class
package org.me.lib;
public class MyJNIWindowClass {
public String s;
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/" + s);
public MyJNIWindowClass() {
JLabel jl = new JLabel(image);
JFrame jf = new JFrame();
jf.add(jl);
jf.setVisible(true);
jf.pack();
I do understand that when I am making reference from main() method to MyJNIWindowClass() s first initialized to null and that is why clock could not be seen but how can I assign image file name from Main() class for library class without creating reference to Main() from MyJNIWindowClass()? As I said, I want this library class being accessed from different applications (means different Main() classes).
Thank you.

Your problem is one of timing. Consider this simple example.
public class Example {
    public String s;
    private String message = "Hello, " + s;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example();
        ex.s = "world";
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}When this code is executed, the following happens in order:
1. new Example() is executed, causing an object to constructed. In particular:
2. field s is given value null (since no value is explicitly assigned.
3. field message is given value "Hello, null"
4. Back in method main, field s is now given value "world", but that
doesn't change message.
5. Finally, "Hello, null" is output.
The following fixes the above example:
public class Example {
    private String message;
    public Example(String name) {
        message = "Hello, " + name;
    public String toString() {
        return message;
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Example ex = new Example("world");
        System.out.println(ex.toString());
}

Possibly. Media Go supports a variety of music formats, some of which can be imported in to iTunes and then synced on to an iPhone, however some of its formats cannot be imported in to iTunes.
See http://mediago.sony.com/enu/supported-file-formats/ for a list of formats supported by Media Go. iTunes for Windows supports MP3, AAC, WAV, and can import and convert WMA files as well. However iTunes does not support ATRAC, or FLAC.
Furthermore, if some of your music has been bought from an Internet music store it might be procted by DRM. If so it cannot be imported in to iTunes.
To do the importing you would either drag the music files in to iTunes, or tell iTunes to open them. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1347

HT3805 Trouble importing into Aperture form Memory Card

Coincidentally or not, after installing Mountain Lion, I am no longer able to import photos into Aperture from a USB connected memory card - the card does not appear in the Import Window any longer - has the method for this process changed or is it a bug?

Do you have Aperture 3.3.2? Are you trying to import raw images?
Does the card appear as external drive in the "Devices" section of the Finder's sidebar? And can you import from the Card in other applications, like Image Capture or iPhoto?

Can I use ifile for slideshow from sd card?

Can I use ifile for slideshow from sd card? Without importing.

Hi Abby,
You've posted your question in the Numbers for Mac community, where the topic of discussion is issues and techniques involving the Mac versions of Apple's spreadsheet application Numbers.
From the description on the developer's website, it appears iFile is a file management application for iOS, used for importing and exporting files between computers (Mac or Windows) and iOS devices (iPhone, iPad, iPod). The closest to an appropriate community here would appear to be Using iPad, or one of the other device-baed communities. I've rquested a transfer of your quetion to that community.
Rgards,
Barry

Apple working on a way of including geotagging images into Aperture?

Hi,
We have several ways of geotagging images before they are transported into a Aperture library, but I would have liked a way of tagging already existing images and have already suggested that apple could include this in the Import Menu.
Is it unlikely that Apple will have a look at ways to geocode images inside Aperture in the future?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

You can read the AppleScript dictionary in Script Editor.
Assuming you would use IPTC tags for this, here is the relevant information:
IPTC tag n : This class represents an IPTC tag of an image version.
elements
contained by image versions.
properties
name (string, r/o) : This is the name of the IPTC tag.
value (string) : This is the value of the IPTC tag.
So you could create a tag for geographic location and put GPS coordinates or whatever in there. Writing something to iterate through your photos and update this information based on name/value pairs wouldn't be THAT hard.
Note Automator could also help here -- it has an action "Set IPTC Tags":
Set IPTC Tags
This action will apply the chosen IPTC tags to the Aperture images passed from the previous action.
Input: (Aperture Image)
Options: You can tab between the various text fields in the Action View. Select the checkboxes next to the text fields whose value you wish to apply. Checkboxes will automatically be selected upon text entry into a field.
Result: (Aperture Image)
This is just building blocks -- don't expect me to guide you how to write it -- but with experimentation this shouldn't be too hard if you have AppleScript and/or Automator experience. The latter is more approachable for the novice. The former is more powerful.

Importing Photoshop RAW images into Aperture

When I import Photoshop RAW images that I have made adjustments to, into my Aperture library, they show up as the original RAW files and not with my adjustments. Is there a way to get the RAW adjustments imported as well.
The only reason I need to import them into Aperture is to post them in a web gallery. Or is there a way to create a ME web gallery directly from Photoshop files? How about creating a ME web gallery directly from Lightroom? Anybody have a clue?)
(Btw, in attemtpting to research this topic, I find I am totally unable to do a search of the discussions. Even with a search word like "Aperture", I get no messages. Not matter what search word I enter I get no messages found. ???)
Thanks!
Jim

Thanks for the reply Allen.
I am saving them all as TIFFS now. I was just trying to avoid that time-consuming step. I do not really need them as TIFFS right now. It is to show edited RAW files to a client. Later, when selections are made, I would save that much smaller number of images as TIFFS. But it seems that there is no other way to import the RAW files with the edits into Aperture.
I used to create all of my web albums for clients in PS. But once I got a .mac account, I love and prefer the look of the .mac web galleries. But of course that necessitated importing all my PS files into either iPhoto (not an option) or Aperture. But can these PS web galleries be exported to a .mac web gallery?
Thanks!

Dragging images into Aperture (without creating a new Project)

Hi All.
I am trying to pump out a slideshow and I am (in some cases) dragging an image from a desktop folder into a ALBUM in Aperture in which I want the photo. This Album is in a FOLDER with the name of the slideshow along with a number of other Albums in which I am organizing data for this project.
Aperture is creating a new Project in this folder every time I do this. They are labeled "Untitled Project", "Untitled Project(1)" etc. If I delete the Projects then the image is deleted from the Album that I want it in.
Is there a convenient solution for this? In some cases the image is already in Aperture but I don't have the time to go hunting for it and in fact it may not be int there.
Can I somehow create a "Dump Project" that will accept all these new images so that I don't clutter up the space with all the new Projects? Would I do this by dragging and dropping the individual images that are in each of these Projects to the Dump Project?
Any advice that doesn't involve switching out horses would be really welcome.
Thanks in advance!
- Jon

You can't import to an Album, only to a project. Every pic in the Library is in a project. It has to be. If you drag to an Album it will make new project to hold the file. So, don't drag to an Album, make a project and drag to that.

Can't can't paste images into PS CS5

So this problem seems to have randomly popped up and I don't know the cause or how to fix it. I have lost the ability to paste bitmap images from external applications like web browsers, specifically Chrome, Firefox or IE. I am reading all over the place that people are having issues with copy/paste but there doesn't seem to be any definitive solutions or situations just like mine.
When I copy an image, now matter how (ctrl-v, right-click, copy image, Edit>Copy etc etc), i am not able to paste that image into an open photoshop document. Paste options are grayed out in Edit menu. Edit>Purge>Clipboard is grayed out. Ctrl-V does nothing at all. It's like photoshop isn't reading my computers clipboard. Format also does not seems to be an issue
Things seem to be fine with copying and pasting within Photoshop itself, and from other adobe apps like Illustrator CS5 to Photoshop CS5 works fine as well. I realize that I can save images to my file system and then open or place in Photoshop, but that's not my normal workflow and eats up time.
This is running in Windows 7 64-bit. Also tried clearing my preferences when opening Photoshop, and that didn't help at all. Also "Export Clipboard" is enabled in General Prefs.
I should also mention copy/paste from external applications into Photoshop CS3 is working just fine.
Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

yes, dived in deeply to the problems that other people were having and unfortunately they aren't quite like mine. seems to be more common to not be able to copy/paste between adobe programs. and the typical response has no solution and that is just some kind of unaddressed intermittent bug.
and yes, all plugins disabled. bummer.

RAW NEF files imported into Aperture from a Nikon D70 are dark

I imported one roll of images straight from the CF card from my Nikon D70 into Aperture.
I also imported them into Nikon PictureProject. (the current application I use)
All the NEF's in Aperture are darker than the NEF's in PictureProject. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Also, any NEF that I have previously edited and saved in Nikon Capture Editor, do not display any of the changes when imported into Aperture. Interesting that the Finder shows the thumbnail correctly. Has anyone else seen this issue?
Thanks, Scott K.

I've imported a few of the NEF files I've gotten from my D2X, and for the most part, they look fine. A little darker than when displayed in Adobe Bridge and ACR, but not that much darker. This is probably just the way the image converter is interpreting the RAW data. A couple of minor levels adjustments for me, and they look fine.
As for Aperture not "seeing" the changes made to a RAW file in Nikon Capture. That may be due to the way Capture applies its changes to the file. If when you make a change, Capture simply adds the adjustments to a side car file, etc., and doesn't change the original RAW file (which it should never do), then Aperture is only reading the original RAW data. The side car info is not understood by Aperture. At least not now.
This is pretty much the same way ACR works.

Can't Copy Image Into Textedit

This might be a coincidence but then maybe not... ever since I've installed MacOSX 8, I can no longer drag images or copy/paste images into TextEdit docs.
Is there a TextEdit section here?
Anyway,
Logging in as a different user does not help.
Trashing the TextEdit plist does not solve the problem...
Any ides on what could be preventing this? Thanks!

And 'deny network-outbound' messages. Sometimes I was dragging an image off a web page into a textedit to troubleshoot and sometimes from an image all ready on my computer.
