Changing Sync photos from: Aperture to iPhoto on iTunes

I marked my previous question as solved by mistake.
I still have a problem in iTunes to sync my photos to my iPhone 6. It shows only available "Copy photos from: Aperture".
I would like to switch this back iPhoto and cannot find the way.
Thank you.

Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

How do I transfer photos from aperture and iPhoto to bridge?

How do I transfer photos from Aperture and iPhoto to Adobe Bridge. I am using Photoshop CS6. Many of my original photos were stored as raw files.

Here's how to access Mac iPhoto images for use in Photoshop
and so that they may be viewed by choosing that folder in Bridge..
1. In the Finder, navigate to Users > [user name} > Pictures > iPhoto Library.
2. Control-click (Right-click) the iPhoto Library file and choose Show Package Contents.
3. A Finder window opens that shows the contents. The Masters folder (or called Originals folder) contains all of the photographs that are in iPhoto.
Photoshop cannot access this folder, but if you make a duplicate of the folder, the dupe will be accessible -- so:
4. Control-click (Right-click) the folder named Masters (or Originals) and choose Duplicate.
5, Drag the duplicate folder which is named "Masters copy" or “Originals copy” from the iPhoto Library Finder window to the Desktop.
6. Open images in Photoshop from file on desktop or view them in Bridge.
7 Rename the folder and move it elsewhere (probably to the Pictures folder), if desired.

Syncing photos from Aperture, only first photo in one Event

When I sync photos from Aperture to iPad I find all the photos in "Photo" but only the first photo under "Events". The same happens with iPod touch and Photos in iWeb.
Where is the setting for getting all the photos in one particular event? The photos have been transferred to iPad but not to the Events with the exception of the first one. When I click on an Event in Aperture the particular Event opens with all the photos contained.

Can someone help me with this?

Full photos from Aperture to iphoto

I'm new to aperture but I'm trying to import full quality photos from aprture to iphoto, however all I can manage to get in iphoto is thumbnails a few hundred kb worth...Does anyone know how to transfer full quality jpegs over after editing with aperture..ps I can't get raw files off my canon 450d either...
cheers David

Davo
The only way to get "full photos" from Aperture to iPhoto is to export them from Aperture ant then import them to iPhoto.
If you use the Media Browser in iPhoto (File -> Show Aperture Library) then you can drag Previews over. You can increase the quality if the pics available to iPhoto this way by increasing the quality of the Previews.

Sync photos from Aperture

I would like to sync some photos/albums with my iPhone using Aperture. I went through the following steps:
1. Imported images from iPhone to a project in Aperture
2. Created an empty album in Aperture
3. Dragged and dropped images from the project (from import) to the album
4. In iTunes I went to the "Photos" tab of my connected iPhone
5. Selected Sync Photos from Aperture
6. Clicked on the "Selected Albums" radio button
7. A bunch of albums/smart albums/projects are listed in the window, including the album I created in step 2 above
8. I select the album (from step 2 above) but it says there are 0 images in it. When I look in Aperture the images are definitely showing in the album
How do I get iTunes to recognize that the album I create has images, and thus move the album over to the iPhone?

I believe I have it figured out. In the Aperture preferences, under the "Previews" tab, is a checkbox labeled "New projects automatically generate preview." This needs to be checked in order to sync images from Aperture albums to your iPhone.
Otherwise, if that box wasn't checked when you created a new project, when you create an album in Aperture and put images in it, iTunes won't recognize that there are images in there.
Note that if you are importing a lot of photos into Aperture, make sure you give Aperture time to generate previews for all of the images before you go back to iTunes to view that album for syncing. All of the previews have to be generated before iTunes will recognize that the album/project has any images.

Sync Photos from iPhone to iPhoto

Why I can't sync photos from iPhone to iPhoto? Both iPhoto and Image Capture only read 26 photos (and it cannot be import too) when I have hundreds in the Iphone.

Yes, it's all in 'camera roll' folder.. And iPhoto only shows 26 boxes that ready to be import, but when I clicked 'Import All' it said that 'error in sync'

Syncing photos from Aperture to Apple TV

I have first generation Apple TV to which I sync music and photos from an iMac using a wireless connection.
Until recently I used iPhoto. Now I have installed Aperture and cannot get this to sync.
The dropdown menu says "Sync photos from:..."
iPhoto
Choose folder…
Pictures
Aperture is nowhere to be seen.
How do I get Aperture to appear in the menu?

Syncing works by copying selected content to the tv HDD, after which you no longer need any connection to itunes to be able to play this content.
Selection is made either manually or automatically in your sync options within itunes depending on which you choose, automatic sync will sync things like the most recent unwatched items for you.
Anything that isn't synced to the tv can be watched through the streaming of content from your itunes library on your mac/pc, so for streaming to work, you need itunes to be running.

What's the best way to export Photos from Aperture to iPhoto

Hi,
so heres the deal:
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
So to get his photos i thaught i could just copy his aperture library onto my external hd.
but will i be able to import the photos into iphoto? and i'd like to not have the originals but the edited photos.
or will i have to export the photos from aperture (e.g. with my brothers, faster mac...)

Paul, do your father and you have compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture? Aperture 3.3 and iPhoto 9.3 or later?
Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
With the new, unified library architecture you can simply open an Aperture library in iPhoto - no need to import anything.
If the Aperture library is not compatible, from an older Aperture version, you can try to export the versions on your brother's mac (file > Export > Versions).
My father has a really old/slow mac and whenever he tries to export more than like 3 photos from aperture the computer freezes.
That is not normal, however old the mac is.
Either his hard drive is too full and needs freeing disk space, or he has imported corrupted images, or his Aperture library needs repairing or rebuilding. He should try to repair his library, if he has used "force quit" on Aperture. See: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual

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

Problem syncing photo from Aperture

I have a picture in my Aperture library (JPEG image) that displays OK in Aperture but when I sync the album to my iPhone, it appears as a black square. I have removed the entire album when syncing in iTunes, disconnected the phone, reconnected the phone to iTunes and ticked the box to add the album back to the phone. Still, the image in question is a black square.
I have also removed the photo from the Aperture album, quit Aperture, added the image back to the album and re-synced the phone but it still won't display properly.
Any ideas?

This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

Importing Photos from Aperture to iPhoto Issue

I am using Aperture 2 and am seeing a behavior I don't understand. My photos are now in the Aperture library and I also have a new, nearly empty iPhoto library (I archived my old iPhoto library after importing all the files to Aperture).
The behavior comes up when I want to move a file back to iPhoto. If I go to iPhoto, open the Aperture browser and drag the photo to iPhoto, I get a much smaller picture than the original, and smaller than if I instead export the version from Aperture and import it into iPhoto.
Example: I have a JPEG that is 1.8Mb and 2560 x 1920 in in Aperture. When I drag it to iPhoto from the Aperture browser in iPhoto, it becomes a 230kb picture at 1280x960. If I export and import, the file size changes a little (down to 1.4Mb), but the resolution remains at 2560x1920.
Aren't you supposed to be able to drag the full-sized image to iPhoto using the Aperture browser?
Thanks.

"Full size" makes reference to the original pixel dimensions of the photo coming from the camera. In my case I have a 4.0 megapixel camera that shoots 1704 x 2272. This would mean that Aperture would be creating full size previews at those pixel dimensions. This wouldn't make much sense for me because I'm not shooting RAW. Previews are primarily for photographers who shoot RAW, but want to keep JPG versions so either full RAW files can be stored offline, or so they can quickly view the JPG previews in quick preview mode.
(Hope that makes sense.)
As far as your iMac goes, the 1680 setting would size your previews down to that number of pixels which would fit pixel for pixel into your iMac's monitor. Even if you went smaller with your previews, Aperture would still have them fill the screen in full screen mode, they'd just be blowing them up a bit.
Enjoy it. Its quickly becoming a favorite app of mine.

Sync photos from ipad to iphoto

OK - here is my problem.
First - I sync'd my ipad with my imac and put ONE photo album, from iphoto, onto the ipad
Second - I used the photo application on the ipad to create a "new album" on the ipad and i moved a subset of that ONE original photo album into the new album.   So...there were 1000 photos in the original album and I reviewed them and picked the top 200 and they are in the new album.
Third - I want to "transfer" or "sync" that NEW album (with just the 200 photos) back onto my imac iphoto application.   I want to continue to edit the new album with 200 photo's - but I am going to edit them in iphoto on my imac.
I cannot figure out how to do the third thing.   I cannot figure out how to move that new photo album from my ipad to my imac. The choices provided by the photo application on the ipad are no good - the only possible one is email but this email would be HUGE....200 photos.
Can anyone figure this out?

Alex, any response from Apple?
The only solution to this I can think of:
1. Use PhoneView utility on Mac, to 'view' contents of iPad's photos - including albums.
2. Drag _each album_ from phone view, to its own folder on Mac. Note, this will result in wasted hard drive space, if a photo on the iPad is in two separate albums. On the iPad it's of course just storing a reference to the actual file, in each album. But when you drag over each album to the Mac, it will copy *all the actual photos* - for each album.
3. When done, quit PhoneView, open iPhoto. For each album you copied, drag _its folder, named how you want it named_ into the Albums section of iPhoto sidebar. I haven't tested this yet, but I think - iPhoto will create a new album with that name, and try to import those pictures. Of course, it already has the pics. So it'll ask you whether to ignore duplicates. You'll say yes. But then (hopefully) it'll still create the album, with the references to the originals (that it already has), and not import them again. So this part at least is blessedly fast.
Done. But! Then, you'll have to repeat this process *forever*, any and every time in the future, that you make any changes to albums *on the iPad*.
So -- it's like, giving us the ability to create albums *on the iPad* is basically, giving us just enough rope to hang ourselves. There's no way, to get those albums to be 'linked' to albums on iPhoto. It'll always be a static hack/kludge, as I've outlined above -- *if* what I'm suggesting here works, which I'm not sure. I'll be testing this today, for a client who, no surprise, took advantage of this <irony>GREAT</irony> feature on iPad, to be able to create albums on the iPad itself. <disappointed>Thanks a lot for one more half-baked effort Apple.</d>.
I mean, unless I'm missing something. Super happy to be proved wrong here. But, as far as I can tell there's no way in iTunes (the way to sync), to do this. Doing an internet search for this, i.e.:
    https://duckduckgo.com/?q=transfer+photo+albums+"ipad+to+iphoto"
returns *very few* results, this support discussion being one of them.

Sync photos from Aperture to iPhone 4 problems

I have a couple of smart albums set up in Aperture, when i select them to be sync's with the iPhone, the photos are sync'd in some totally random order it very difficult to locate specific pictures.
Any ideas in how to sort out the sync order please?
Thanks
John

For some stupid reason, pictures from Aperture synced to an iPhone/iPod Touch are ordered by file name instead of date on the mobile device.
If you sort the pictures manually rather than by date within Aperture, it will be ordered correctly in your Album or Event on the iPhone. Either switch it in the pulldown menu or drag a thumbnail to a new place and then back to it's original location and it will change the ordering to manual.
Makes you want to hit your head against a wall sometimes...
