Can't MOVE images from one project to another: must not understand

Greetings,
I have two questions as a result of aperture not working the way that I have read on forums etc. and am wondering what i am doing wrong
1) How do I MOVE images from project to project without duplicating masters or versions
2) how do I delete versions
All of my files are referenced.
*1) moving from project to project*
I have a blue folder called "NEFs." In it, I have a default project where I just dump all of my images called "00 dump." After I dump them, I organize into other projects. So, I do the following:
• I create a new project called "2008 Thanksgiving" inside the NEFs blue folder making it a sibling to "00 dump"
• I go back to "00 dump" select all the images that were shot over thanksgiving, and drag to the "2008 thanksgiving" folder. The images transfer fine, but when I go back to "00 dump" I see that the images have NOT actually moved, they are now sitting in both projects. How can this be? I thought that if I move images from project to project then I am actually moving the master, not replicating a version? That leads me to my next dilemma
*2) how do I delete versions?*
Now that I have replicated photos in my "2008 Thanksgiving" project, I want to delete them since I see them still sitting in "00 dump." I do the following:
• select the "2008 Thanksgiving" project
• select a number of images
• press command + delete (this is the only way to delete a file as far as I can tell
• popup comes up explaining that if I delete this file it will delete the master too and the reference file. So, that's exactly what it does.
Deleting the referenced file is fine for many junk images, but in this case, I just want to delete the copied version that seems to be in two projects now. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I would really love a full understanding of how this structure works.

When you drag images and the drop target is an actual little yellow project box (not a folder, and album or anything else) the images move from one project to another, if your drop target is not the actual project but something else within another project all you do is cause the version to show up there, nothing is duplicated.
To delete a version or versions selected just use command-delete. This gets rid of the actual version not just removes it from the current album view. If it happens to be the last version of that master it will get rid of the master as well.
Have a look at this:

  • Move images from one project to another

    I have just upgraded from ap 1.5 to ap 2. In 1.5, when I moved an image from one project to another, the image was actually removed from the original project and placed in the new project. It has been my habit to upload all the images from a shoot into one project and then sort them into image specific projects; for example all blackbirds into a project labeled "blackbirds", all hawks into a project labeled hawks, etc. Once everything was sorted, the original project would be empty and I could delete it. This does not seem to be the case in ap 2. When I sort the images into their specific projects, they do disappear from the original project and thus I am unable to delete that project. Am I missing something?
    Thanks

    I had a bit of an unusual situation. I was in fact moving images from a FOLDER to a project in another folder. Turns out that there were albums in a project in the SOURCE FOLDER. I clicked on the folder, not the project, so although moving the images did indeed remove them from the source PROJECT, they remained in the various albums in that source project, still showing up in the SOURCE FOLDER, which is what I was working from, thus the confusion. I bet I won't make that mistake again.
    Thanks for the help.

  • Moving image from one project to another

    Hi all. I'm sorry if this is simple to do, but I can't figure it out. I have recently purchased Aperture 3 and am trying to figure out how to move an image from one project to another. I had several photos on my camera, and imported them this morning into it's own project. Now, I would like to take some of those photos and put them in my "family" project, and some into my "dogs" project, etc. When I open up the new project, I can't find where I can move them to another project. I have to assume this is doable, but I can't figure it out.
    Thanks in advance.
    Dale.

    Sorry to be a complete idiot, but here's my issue. When I open the original project, and then find the image that I want to move, I am unable to see any other projects (in browser view), so I have nowhere to drag them to. I hope that makes sense and you can help.
    Thanks again.
    Dale.

    Can i move money from one account to another?

    Basically, no; only the iTunes Store staff can do this, and then only by putting the balance from a completely unspent gift card back onto the card.

  • Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?

    Can I move photos from one computer to another using Vault?  I use an external hard drive as a vault for my Imac and I want to import photos to my Macbook pro.  I have aperture 3 on both units.  Can I just plug the ext. drive into the laptop and import from the vault?

    You can't import from the vault but you can restore that vault onto the MBP. This will restore the complete library that is contained in the vault.

  • Can I move files from one caralog to another?

    Can I move files from one caralog to another?

    No. you cannot.
    This, among many other reasons, is why multiple catalogs are not recommended.
    (You could import the photo into another catalog, and delete from the first catalog ... and without first using the command File->Write Tags, you will lose your tags, captions and other metdata; version sets, stacks, album/collection membership are lost in any case)

  • Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are still frames captured within a video event.

    Can I copy clips from one project to another?  The clips are frames saved as stills from a video event.  I try the copy & paste but it does not seem to work.

    The video was converted into MP4 and then I could get it into iMovie events.  I had right clicked and saved farmes as stills.  ABout 50 of them,  When I tried to copy and paste those stills into another project I couldn't. They came up blank.
    I ended up going to a Genius appointment at my APPLE store this afternoon and was told that those "stills" aren't really anything. Not a .jpg or video, so the program doesn't recognize them.  So instead I'm using the Project with the 50 stills and copying other .jpgs and video into it.  (This is for a 1961 Class Reunion, so it's old stuff).  Seems to work so far.
    So bottom line seems to be I can use these stills created from a video in the project in which they were created, but no where else.  Do you know a way around this?

  • Move tracks from one project to another?

    I'd like to know if there's a way to move tracks (with or without inserts, automation and other stuff) from one project to another.
    I have a project containing a working mix of a song that I've spent many hours assembling. One of my bandmates sent me parts he tracked in GarageBand, two audio tracks and one track using a MIDI instrument. I imported the GB file into LE and made some edits. I'd like to bring those three tracks into my current mix.
    I understand that I can bounce each track out individually, then re-import them on new tracks in the mix project, but this means turning off all the inserts and EQ on each track and blah blah blah, it seems like there must be an easier way. Being able to directly move or import the tracks would preserve my editing flexibility in a way that bounces won't.
    Please, any suggestions may prove valuable.
    Thank you for your time.

    ...let me also re-emphasize: the GB2 file was imported and converted and tossed. I am trying to move tracks from one Logic Express project to another Logic Express project.
    Just to be perfectly clear.

  • Move Photos from One Project to Another

    Is there a way to move photos and transition effects from one project to another?

    @bshig
    more often than not, i seem to import the images into a new project, which i don't want.
    I spotted and 'solved' this one last night. I don't have Aperture in front of me just now, so I'm writing this from memory...
    Open your Preferences. Look for, I think, an Import tab. There's a preference for setting the default target project which has two options (from a pop-up menu). The options are "New Project" and something like "Selected Project". Changing that over should solve your problem...

  • How can i move music from one account to another

    I have 4 different accounts in Itunes and i wish to move all the music into one account
    help please !!!!

    You can't transfer content from one account to another account, nor can you merge accounts - content will remain tied to the account that downloaded it

  • Can ypou move songs from one ipod to another?

    Is there a way to move songs from one way to another, if so can you tell me.

    Be very careful when connecting an iPod full of music to an empty iTunes library.There is very real risk of permanently losing all the music.
    To prevent auto sync, connect the iPod whilst holding down the 'control+shift' keys and do not let them go until your iPod appears in iTunes.
    If you see a message that your iPod is associated with a different library and asks if you want to link to a new one, make sure you press "Cancel".
    If you should click on "Erase and Sync" will erase all the content currently on your iPod and it will be replaced with the content of the iTunes library you just connected to.
    When you've pressed cancel your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list under "devices" and allow you to change the update setting to manage the iPod content manually, and that will let you use your iPod for the time being without the risk of accidentally erasing the contents.
    Then do any of the following to transfer your music from iPod back to the computer/iTunes.
    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod or iPhone to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Other free programs are Pod Player, SharePod and Floola and iDump and iPodRobot.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • Can't move files from one volume to another

    Using the 1.2 client on SLED, I don't appear to be able to move files from
    one volume to another. I have two drive "mappings", each to a
    different volume on a NW65SP5 box, but when I try and cut and paste files
    I get an error saying "Not on the same file system". However if I drop to
    a terminal and just use mv, that works.
    Is this a known issue?

    Hmm, yep get the smae problem when trying to move files.
    Copy works just great though.
    I know there are some issues in Gnome/Nautilus that's being worked upon.
    These are outlined in the Readme. For example it's not possible to copy a
    folder from Server A to Server B, then delete the folder form Server A.
    Finally later on copy the folder back to Server A from Server B.
    Also Gnome is leaking file handles, which could be the cause for the
    problem we're getting here.
    I'll ask my contact at Novell about this and have him enter it in as a bug
    if it's not a known issue.
    For a workaround you already have a good alternative of using mv in a
    terminal.
