Cannot import photos from aperture

Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
George

I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it. I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
Check also the settings in Image Capture:
In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
(I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

I think I just figured this out.
Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab. Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up. Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality. You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews. iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults. Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
Hope that helped.

I cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5v or photoshop

i cannot import photos from my camera card into light room 5 or photoshop

Launch Lightroom and from the menu go to:
Lightroom >> Preferences >> general (tab)
Ensure there is a checkmark in the box “show import dialog when a memory card is detected”
Then quit Lightroom and insert the card again. Does LR launch ready for import?
If not, check that your card is mounted. You should see an icon on the desktop.
Launch Lightroom and click the import button (bottom left)
Expand the tree in the left-hand column of the import dialog e.g. from Mac HD >> Users….down to desktop.
Highlight your card.
Choose “Copy” at the top and either a named folder on the right or automatic dated folders.
Then start the import.

There is no "into". LR and PS just reference your photos on the hard drive.
When you import your photos "into" the LR catalog, LR can copy the images off your memory cards to the hard drive if you have not already copied them, but the photos are referenced by the LR catalog by the path and filename for the files.
If you are having problems getting the images off the cards, what steps are you using and what error messages are you getting?

I have detele the iPhoto cache from user/library/caches/com.apple.iPhoto but it made no difference.
Any advice is welcome.

Yes, I did solved the problem. It was not with iPhoto but with the iTunes. Once I delete my phone profile all worked. I did not write the steps down but if you do it please post it here.

Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
iTunes
iPod Updater
Updating iPod's Software
Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...
iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

Importing photos from Aperture

If I open "multimedia" I find in "Photos" the iPhoto option but I wonder if I can import files from my Aperture Library.

I cannot import photos from my Cannon PowerShot A80

I cannot import photos frpm my Cannon PowerShot A80. I have imported many photos from this camera in the past. I get an unrecognized fromat error message.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like the camera memory card (CompactFlash) contains one or more corrupted image files.
If the images are not important, you may be able to correct the problem by reformatting the memory card with the camera setup menu. Of course that will destroy any images currently on the card.
If you choose to do that, quickly do a few test images and try importing them to verify that the card was successfully reformatted and that the test images can correctly be imported.
There are utility programs designed to recover images from flash memory.
One of my flash cards came with a free one (for Windows) that I use.
Of course there are also paid programs and data recovery services.
A quick search revealed this link. I downloaded, installed it, and recovered a deleted file, but I have not used the free version extensively, so I cannot vouch for it, or the paid upgrade.

Cannot import photos from SD card into USB card reader after 10.4.10 update

Prior to the 10.4.10 update, I used a USB media card reader to import photos from my Canon camera's SD card and it worked fine. I just tried to do that for the first time since I installed the 10.4.10 update, and now the memory card doesn't show up in iPhoto as a disk from which to import photos.
I'm back to transferring pictures through the cable, which is a bit of a pain and a waste of a new media card reader. Is there a way to restore this ability to use the card reader?
Note: I switched from Windows to Mac in February 2007, and except for having to hunt for media card readers that work with the Mac and a few kernel panics due, I think, to a problem with my Logitech mouse drivers, it's been pretty painless.
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.10) C2D 2.16 GHz, 2 GB RAM, 250 GB hard drive

This problem is not generic to 10.4.10 -- but it is specific to Intel based Macs. I have the same problem with a Zynet 8-in-1 USB-2.0 card reader. It fails to mount on 10.4.10 Intel based Macs but works fine on 10.4.10 PPC macs (and on 10.3.9 PPC too)
It is very annoying because connecting through my phone is very slow, especially when updating 2GB of MP3s.
The reader, with card inserted, is recognized, but no storage media is seen and of course it does not mount as a disk device like it should:
USB Storage Device:
Version: 1.00
Bus Power (mA): 500
Speed: Up to 480 Mb/sec
Manufacturer: Generic
Product ID: 0x3260
Serial Number: 20030903213338562
Vendor ID: 0x0aec
There are no relevant error messages.
I hope Apple's reading these posts -- this sounds like a major, but all too common, FUBAR in the driver code. A fast fix would be very much appreciated!

Cannot import photos from iPhone into IMAC

I receive an error message when I attempt to import the photos on my iPhone or my iPad into iPhotos.......the error messages states that I have "unreadable files".
Can anyone help me?

OK, So I found out that I can only import photos from my Camera Roll only. I did try to transfer the photos from my PC to my MAC using Migration Assistant. Both my PC and my MAC are on the same Network, but the two computers never connect. Anyone know how to remedy this?

Cannot import photos from CF card (raw) LR 2.5

After i installed 2.5 update, suddenly LR will not import photos from my CF cards. These raw files can be seen with preview, but when I try to import them Lightroom seem to be converting images to DNG, but after that process message appears saying that LR could`.t import I have tried rebooting the iMac running Leopard O.S., but it made no difference. I also tried deleting the Lightroom preference file, that didn`t help eather.
CF cards are working perfectly with 2,4 version, on MacBook Pro..
Does anybody have a solution?

I thought so too, but images was not to find on my hard drive..
Funny thing is when i tried to import regular JPG files from some other SD card, it worked perfectly.
I always shoot in raw, and i always choose to convert to DNG while importing.
I am suspecting that it might be something wrong with this new raw update!
The exact massage i get after LR has converted to DNG:
"Could not copy a file to the requested location"
under that all of de NEF files are listed
