Can't Import Referenced Photos

I have a lot of older photos on an external drive I want to import.  All are jpegs in files grouped by year, i.e. 2004, etc.  I initially imported them but by accident pointed to my back up files on another drive.  I deleted the Aperature folder, i.e. 2004 and did the import a 2nd time.  When done it says imported 0 photos.  I did this for 2 years.  The other years I import work just fine, its the two imports that I deleted that have a problem.  I suspect there is something not cleaned up in the Aperature DB that is not cleaned up from the delete.  I could rename the year I am having a problem with to say 2007a but and see what happens...  How can I fix the problem

Are you saying that you went into the Aperture library bundle and deleted folders? Do you have a backup?
Try running the steps in the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, repait library and if that doesn't work try a rebuild.
Post back if that doesn't help. But seriously if you have a backup that will be the easiest way to resolve this.
Good luck

  • Can't import some photos?

    In iMovie 09 I can't import certain photos from iPhoto library (or directly in Finder). Some photos when dragged into the Project Pane just don't get added to the project. All my photos are jpgs and they're all larger than the project resolution I'm using.
    Some photos do work - and I just can't work out what the distinction is. Is it a bug - or is there something with the type of photo I'm using.
    I didn't have this problem in iPhoto 08 - does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks
    PS I've got Advanced Tools enabled

    Have you tried deleting iPhoto's and iMovie's preference files?
    (Found at Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iphoto.plist; and com.apple.imovie.plist)
    With both iPhoto and iMovie closed, drag these plist files to the trash. New ones will be created when you reopen the apps.
    The iMovie plist file may say iMovie8 or 9. Be sure to trash the correct one.
    I had this happen to me 2 nights ago. None of my photos would import into iMovie. Trashing iM's plist resolved the issue.

  • Can't import iPhone photos into iPhoto because of permission...

    I go in iPhoto, click on the iphone then click on import all and then I get this error message which i will translate from French.
    ''iPhoto ne peut pas importer vos photos dans cette photothèque car iPhoto ne peut pas y accéder.''
    iPhoto can not import your photos in this library because iPhoto can not access it.
    Then it says : Repair your library authorisation in iPhoto.
    So i tried to cmdaltclick on iphoto and repair permissions...but it doesn't work.
    Thnx for the help !

  • I can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive.

    i can't import any photos. 'Could not copy to requested location' is the given but i have tried importing to both hard drive and external drive. Help please ?

    Most likely, the "requested location" where you are trying to copy files to does not have WRITE permission, and so you need to change the permissions.

  • I can't import vertical photos:why?

    i can't import vertical photos:why?

    Not on the origina as it will essentially be a tif in jpeg's clothing.  But if you make an edit it will go thru a jpeg compression. Whether you'll be able to see the reduction in resolution is another matter.
    I ran a test and changed a tiff file to .jpg and it was useabel in iPhoto, Acorn, Xee, GraphicConverter but not PhotoShop or Photoshop Elements.  So you can change the extension on all of those portrait photos but be sure to convert to a JPG when you export them out of iPhoto for use.  Don't know how other apps will react to such a hybred file.
    One plan of action would be to import them into iPhoto and then export out as tiffs  right away. Then import back in and see if all is OK.

  • I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import without a problem, but verticals have a red exclamation mark. Help?!

    I can't import vertical photos to my iPad using the camera connection kit. Horizontal photos import fine, but verticals have a red exclamation mark, and do not import. Help!?

    I have the same problem and apple needs to fix this - but in the mean time you can manually select the vertical photos then "import - import selected" and you can get your verticals. We need a better fix. THIS IS A BUG!

    How are you trying to import the files? Are you using the import from iphoto command? What happens if you export the photos from iphoto to the desktop and use from files and folders? Does it work that way?

  • All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    I am sorry to be so ignorant, but I am not sure of WHERE to "post" this question:All I want to know is: HOW CAN I IMPORT A PHOTO FROM MY MAC DESK TOP?

    Do you mean you want to import a photo to the organizer? It's easier if you put the photo where you want to keep it before importing, but just go to File>Get Photos>From Files and Folders and import it. If you move it after importing you  must move it in folder view in the origanizer.
    If you just want to edit the photo, there's no need to import it. Just go to File>Open in the editor.
