Can't import into Aperture

Just upgraded to AP 2.0.1 from the trial. When I try to import 1k images from a dvd only 1 image imported and the thumbnail for that image was just a grey box. Copied all the images to my hd and still could not see any of the images except for the same one. Selected all of the images in finder and was able to drag and drop into AP ok. Looking at several other photo folders from the import screen, some show files and some do not although all have photos. They are mostly jpgs and some D200 raw files.

I removed Aperture and reinstalled AP 2.0 and am now able to to import the images from the dvd. After it finishes I will upgrade to 2.0.1 and repeat.

  • Can you import into Aperture from the IPhoto library on Time Machine?

    Having size problems with huge IPhoto library.  Would like to install Aperture and import from iPhoto library backup on Time Machine HD but would like to know before I purchase Aperature.

    No replies so I purchased Aperture and attempted to import from Aperture.  Could not do it. Very disappointing.

  • Unable to see raw files in Finder and therefor can't import in aperture

    I have loaded my raw files from the CF card (Canon 4DII) into a directory on the Mac. I go into Aperture, select import and select the directory where the files are and none of the raw files appear.
    I go into iPhoto and they appear and I am able to import them into iPhoto.
    I need to import the files into Aperture. How can I get Aperture to "see" the files in the finder directory?

    Hi New
    It doesn't look like your camera is supported, which is why your raw files don't show up to import.
    (Check the list here, for sure
    http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html)
    Mine isn't either.
    I use DNG Converter from Adobe (Free) to convert my RAW files to DNG. The .DNG files ( not '.dng') are then readable by Aperture.
    You can get the app here: (or just go to Adobe's website)
    http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/16064
    What I do:
    Open DNG converter
    Select the folder with the raw files
    Save in new location:
    Select folder: and create a DNG folder inside the original folder with the RAW images)
    File Extension .DNG
    Convert.
    When i import into Aperture, I choose the option to 'Store files in their original location' (which is an external drive foe me) ... this way i'm not getting duplicates and taking up more space.
    Sorry I couldn't be more helpful

  • Advice/howto on disorganised photos that need to be imported into Aperture

    I have about 5-6 years of photos that are in different folders across my backup hard drives that I want to import into Aperture.
    There are many duplicates as I had working folders that I copied periodically onto external drives into dated backup folders. When the working folders filled up, I'd delete older files to make space, knowing that I had the files backed up. I didn't perform any type of file management. Hence the backup folders contain duplicate files.
    i.e.
    Feb 03 backup folder contains files for Feb 03
    Mar 03 backup folder contains files for Feb 03 and Mar 03
    Apr 03 backup folder contains files for Feb 03, Mar 03 and Apr 03
    I then run out of room on the working drive, so delete the files from Feb 03 to free space.
    May 03 backup folder contains files for Mar 03, Apr 03 and May 03.
    I now want to import all the files from the backup folders into Aperture, but know there will be many duplicates. Is there any way I can manage the import such that I prune out duplicates across the folders? Either within Aperture or using an external program/script. These are all original files that have not been edited.
    Thanks,
    Phil B.

    Thanks for the advice.
    I actually searched the archives after I asked the question and this comes up a lot.
    I'm currently trying MrClean as a solution to delete duplicates first, and if that does not work out, will try Tidy Up!

    Phil B.

  • Can't import into Shapes Project Palette

    I'm working through the Apple Pro Series DVDSP 3 and the lesson requires me to import a layered Photoshop file into Palette - Shapes - Project. Initially, I had to import and the file appeared in the Custom tab. I followed the steps to import into the Project tab (selection "For this project only"), but the file appears in Custom or not at all. Very frustrating. I've tried restarting DVDSP and that doesn't work. Can anyone help?

    Its a limitation of importing into Aperture from an iPad.

  • Photostream - do you automatically import into Aperture?

    Interested to hear from some advanced and pro Aperture users as to whether or not you have your Photostream automatically import into Aperture, I've done this without putting much thought into it but its led to having many unneccessary photos in my library, plus I import my iPhone photos manually from time to time (paranoid Photostream has missed some I guess).  Thanks.

    So should I be assured that no matter what all photos I take on my iPhone are automatically imported and hence I can stop manually importing them from time to time and hence causing more duplicates etc?
    I am not sure, if I understand your concern correctly.
    When you are taking photos with your iPhone, they will upload to the photo stream and be stored in iCloud.  But you have plenty of time, befor ethey will upload. Photo Stream will only start the upload, when the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, when the battery is properly charged, and when the camera.app is closed.
    Your mac will import the photos only once. when you import from the iPhone and the photos have already been downloaded from the stream, they will not show in the Import panel.

  • How can i import into imovie using the camera's built in memory?

    How can I import into imovie from my cannon video camera built in memory.  All that comes up when I connect the USB cable is what is stored on the memory card and it doesn't give me the option to use what is stored on the built in memory

    That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
    With the new Photo app later this year the integration between IOS and the Mac will be much greater

  • 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.

  • What is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto?

    what is the maximum size of a jpg that can be imported into iPhoto

    I've imported and worked on Photoshop and tiff files up at 220 MB (8400 x 6600 pixels) in size.  It does take some time to do any edits, up to 7 seconds for some.   220 MB is a big file but iPhoto handles it OK.
    I do have a top of the line iMac with SSD drive so it's pretty fast.  Other Macs may be slower depending on their configuration.

  • Completely auto import into Aperture

    hi,
    i'm looking to completely automate the import into aperture...whether i connect my iphone or the sd-card from my nikon, i would
    like aperture to open, import the photos into the pre-defined project and then delete the photos, without answering any questions
    from aperture.
    currently, i have it set so that aperture opens when things are connected, but the import process doesn't start by itself, etc.
    does anyone know if this is possible?
    thanks,
    pete

    Aperture has no built-in automatic import. You would have to program an Automator script.
    import the photos into the pre-defined project and then delete the photos, without answering any questions
    from aperture.
    This is risky - I'd reconsider, Pete. We have seen many cases here, where the import went wrong, and if you delete the originals from the card, before you check them after importing, you may be deleting your only copies.  The recommended way is to wait until the first backup of your photos has been completed, before you delete photos from your card.

  • Exporting all settings for Outlook Desktop so that they can be imported into Outlook

    Hi there,
    I was wondering whether all settings for Outlook Desktop can be exported so that they can be imported into Outlook i.e. .psts, .osts, .pabs, .oabs, .dats, .xmls, .nk2s, .rwzs, .rtfs, .txts, .htms, .dics, .ofts, .srss and .msgs. My Managing Director's Wife is
    unsubscribing from Office 365 in order to use Office Professional 2013 I presume or 2010 perhaps. Your help would be much appreciated.
    Kind regards,
    RocknRollTim
    P.S. I was redirected by a user off the Office 365 Community Forum.

    Hi,
    As per the information and details provided by you, in Outlook, there is not any way to backup Outlook account setting because in all Outlook versions the account settings are kept inside the window registry under this key:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles
    So if you want to create backup of your Outlook account setting, you should have to export that key from your registry and then import it to your new computer.
    To backup Outlook Account setting follow these steps: -
    1. First, go to the Start menu and then at the Run box, type regedit and press Enter.
    2. Under the registry editor right click to Export the Profiles key found inside this location in the registry: 
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles”
    3. In Outlook 2013 right click to Export the Profile key found under this location in the registry:
    • HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\
    • e.g: “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Outlook\Profiles key”
    4. Specify the Destination Location and File Name then press Save.
    Correct me if the information that I am having is wrong. I hope this will be helpful for you.
    Thanks and regards

  • A friend gave me a a number of playlists in a wma format. Can't import into itunes library or convert. Any suggestions?

    A friend gave me a a number of playlists in a wma format. Can't import into itunes library or convert. Any suggestions?

    Switch (free basic version) - http://www.nch.com.au/switch/index.html  - I'm not sure if this will do WMA
    All2MP3 - http://download.cnet.com/All2MP3/3000-2140_4-190407.html - mixed success with WMA
    Flip4mac - need the intermediate payware version which lets you convert.  Use with Quicktime player.Flip4Mac - http://dynamic.telestream.net/downloads/download-flip4macwmv.asp?prodid=flip4mac wmv  - The free version will let Quicktime play but not convert Windows Media files.
    After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences.  Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.

  • Can't Import into DW6

    Newbie... but have created a BC site from inside Dreamweaver .... works fine... input username and password...etc.
    Then tried to import a site I created through the BC partner port ... the site on BC shows up on the import site menu in dreamweaver .. but then I get a "cannot connect to server message."
    What is the solution to fix this.
    Thank you,
    Karen

    Nope it continues.... I discovered the adobe live chat ... the issue has now been escalated... I gave them my password and the had the same problem importing the site created in BC into Dreamweaver.  I went through three different people and several hours 
    the Basic site I created through Dreamweaver imports fine... same account.  The problem is I need the template on BC...  for the client I'm working with. 
    Thanks for getting back to me

    Hi Karen, Was this some kind of temporary connection issue or does it still persist?  Please check your Site Settings in DW and make sure that the FTP details are setup for that site. Also, if you're on a Windows machine make sure you don't have some kind of security software blocking DW from making a connection. Perhaps a firewall or one of those anti-virus packages that can control connections. Cheers, -mario

  • Can I import into Illustrator and modify a drawing in Appleworks?

    Can I import into Illustrator and modify a drawing in Appleworks?

    Depending on the detail/complexity/accuracy of the graphics,  you will not likely find back-and-forth wokflows between PostScript-compatible drawing programs (Illustrator, FreeHand, Canvas, Draw, Xara) and OS-meta format (QuickDraw, Quartz, WMF, EMF) based programs ("Works" or "Office" applications) very satisfying.
    You encounter instance-specific caveats stemming from two basic issues:
    PostScript compatible drawing programs use cubic Bezier curves; two curve handles per path segment. "Works" or "Office" type drawing modules typically use simpler quadratic Bezier curves; one handle per path segment. So going back and forth between involves geometric translations and re-translations which wreck the practicality of editng the paths. PostScript drawing programs use cubic curves for good reason: more shape control with fewer anchors.
    The OS-specific meta formats are really not designed for the device-independent resolution fidelity of commercial print. Resolution in vector drawing? Yes. Vector paths are essentially mathematical formulae for *plotting* curves onto a raster grid. (Everything is eventually rasterized; the practical difference between raster and vector graphics is a matter of when.)
    So it's a matter of accuracy; the "fineness" of the theoretical grids the curve-handling format/application is designed to plot upon . Meta formats are more about drawing an acceptable shape onscreen, and you can kind of think of what gets sent to a dumb printing device (one without a PostScript "brain") as a glorified enlarged screenshot. The path objects you draw in a PostScript compatible program that have smooth curves that scale well both upward and downward often translate to meta formats as paths with ugly flats or extra kinks that become apparent when scaled. These caveats are unpredictable and tedious to correct. The bother ends up outweighing the advantages you are seeking.
    In a nutshell, that's why Illustrator's effective "recommendation" for exporting to Office applicaitons (Save For Office...) is the lowest-common-denominator approach of defaulting to a common raster format (PNG), even though Windows does have a vector-based format (EMF) which Illustrator can export to.
    If what you're trying to do is just a one-way trip from some legacy AppleWorks drawings to Illustrator, you'll need an intermediary translation from .awk to something Illustrator can import. You may be able to find an open-source software for doing that.

  • What kind of Video can I import into InDesign?

    I've read that Acrobat 9 and newer can display flash video files within a PDF. I tried importing an .flv file into InDesign but it did not work. Is this possible to do? Also, are there any other types of video files that can be imported into InDesign?
    The idea is to do a quick reference guide for a software application which will have an embedded flash video file showing motion capture of the application in action.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Acrobat 9 can display Flash (SWF) files well if you add the files within Acrobat. However, if you add the SWF files in InDesign and then export to PDF, the SWF files may not play, especially on a Mac. You're better off leaving a placeholder in InDesign and then adding the SWF in Acrobat to the exported PDF. For more details, see Sandee Cohen's entry:
