Does Aperture recognize existing iPhoto photos published to Flickr?

Howdy,
I have almost 10,000 photos in my iPhoto 9.4.2 library on my MacBook running Mac OS 10.7.5. I'm considering upgrading to Aperture, and I am particularly interested in the advertised ability of Aperture to use my existing iPhoto library. Specifically, many of my photos in iPhoto are shared on Flickr, and I love iPhoto's integration with Flickr. When I update a photo with edits or metadata, those changes are pushed to Flickr automatically.
If I get Aperture and use it on my existing iPhoto library, will it recognize all the photos that are already published to Flickr and similarly maintain their Flickr versions?
Thanks a bunch,
Mikael Behrens

yeah, i IM'd the links to a friend just now and she can see them. ***?
I cannot see them in Safari or Mozilla here at work.
But yet, I can see them in Firefox.
Sorry for the trouble.
The new iLife is freekin awesome nevertheless.
Thanks,
joel

  • Importer does not recognize already imported photos

    Hello,
    I have a really annoying problem with Aperture 3.0.3. The importer does not recognize already imported photos and wants to import them again and again. This is true for photos from my iPhoneand also for photos from my Nikon. If I enable "Do not import duplicates" then some photos vanish from the importer, when I the iPhone view is open. In the Nikon view not even one photo is recognized as already imported.
    Also very strange is that when I have the iPhone (iOS 4.1 installed) attached to the Mac, Aperture opens the importer automatically and shows all photos correctly - but strangely, both iMac CPUs are at 100% until I click either "Cancel" or "Start import" or I disconnect the iPhone.
    I tried the following without success:
    - Correct permissions on media library
    - Repair media library
    - Rebuild media library
    Imports from my iPhone last very long and seem to hang most of the time. I have to kill Aperture to make it work again all the time.
    To me, it looks like there is something really messed up at the base of this program.
    I have about 20000 files in my library - face recognition is not turned off - most of the preferences are at their default, I think. Did not play around very much.
    Does anybody know what to do? I don't want to lose all my Projects (sorted all pictures into their own projects). But I want to work with Aperture again. When its working, it's a great tool.
    Regards
    Alex

    I've had the same problem. For some things, like videos and photos on my iPhone, I've found as many as 5 copies of the images despite keeping the 'do not import duplicates' checked.
    I've also found a bug with the import function, where if I'm importing from folders on my hard drive, sometimes it finds no images at all (even if they don't exist in my library). Simply cancelling and going back into import and the miraculously appear (including images that have already been imported despite having 'do not import duplicates' checked.).
    I've been going through my library deleting all the duplicates, and managed to free about 10GB of space.
    Having moved from Lightroom the 'technical side' of Aperture seems very antiquated. For example, if I remove a duplicate video - then try clicking on that video in Aperture, it literally takes about 10-15 minutes of spinning disc before Aperture becomes responsive. It also often hangs up on the 'updating previews' when I quit.
    Such a shame aperture is so bad. I really like the functionality - eg. having my photos automatically sync with my Apple TV, but it seems to be absolutely full of bugs.

  • Help setting up iPhoto to publish with Flickr

    Please tell me what i am doing wrong. I am trying to get iPhoto to publish to Flickr. I chose my photo, a drop down message appears at the top of the screen saying "Do you want to set up iPhoto to publish to Flickr?" I click Setup and it takes me to Yahoo/Flickr sign in page on the web. I confirm my username & password and I am taken to Flickrs home page. I know I can upload photos here but I want to do it direct from iPhoto but every time I click on the Flickr button I have to repeat the above all over again. Please can someone help me??

    Did you check the box to stay signed in for two weeks?
    What I see is select photo(s), click on Flickr and I go to a Flickr web page where I sing in and tell it to keep me signed in and I get a new web page asking me if I want to allow iPhoto to upload - I say yes and it goes to a page telling me that I can change this - I close that page and go back to iPhoto in the dock and click on the still open box to upload to Flickr and it works without having to go to the Flickr page again
    What exact steps are you taking

  • Does Aperture recognize additions to iPhoto LIbrary?

    I've imported my iPhoto library, letting Aperture reference back to the images in the iPhoto library.
    My question is... how do I update the aperture library when new additions have been made to the iPhoto library? It doesn't seem to happen automatically and reimporting the iPhoto library doesn't seem to be the answer (but perhaps I'm wrong). Any suggestions?
    M

    Do you have any photos that don't fit the criteria for the tv (should be JPEG, BMP, GIF, TIFF or PNG - some TIFFs won't work) or perhaps you have an illegal character (such as '/') in the filename or keywords. You could try making some new albums and slowly adding files to isolate culprits if you think this might be the case.

  • How does one merge existing IPhoto 11 Libraries on an External HD?

    I have an IPhoto 11 Library on my IMAC.  I have multiple IPhoto Libraries on my external HD.  I use Snow Leopard 10.6.8, IPhoto 11 (v. 9.2.3).
    I am not sure how I got them, other than Apple at one point backed up all my files onto my external Seagate HD in order to completely wipe out and do the most extensive reinstall they could due to a malfunction of Time Machine located on a Lacie External HD.
    In addition, I must have backed up my IPhoto Library onto my Seagate HD.
    My question was how to merge two or more libraries located on my Seagate HD, backup my IPhoto Library onto the Seagate, and eliminating duplicates.
    I think I have found my answer after 3 days of searching YouTube, Apple Discussions, Books, google.
    It may be long and convoluted but I think I am doing nothing wrong.  I wish comments as to improvement or flaws in my procedure.
    From what I can glean, IPhoto does not permit merging of multiple libraries, that external programs such as IPhoto Library Manager and IPhoto Duplicate Annihilator are what most recommended.  In addition, Aperture vs. Lightroom were discussed.
    My solution using just the external HD's and IMAC for transferring photos in their original format (RAW, Jpeg, etc) from my IMAC to an individual IPhoto Library on my Seagate HD.
    1.  Locate proper IPhoto library, the one on my IMAC by holding the ALT/Option key then depressing and holding the IPhoto Application key located on the Dock until a window pops open, slide my mouse to the window to the line that says, "Open" and releasing only the mouse key while still depressing the ALT/Option key. This will open a window which will permit me to select from the different IPhoto Libraries.  If some bear the same name, a look at the pathway on the bottom of the window will show which are on the Seagate HD.
    2.  Click on the library desired to be opened, in this case, the IMAC IPhoto Library.  This will open IPhoto.
    3.  Select an image, from the Events, Open that image, Open the Info pain (lower right) noting name of file and file size, example CRW_0555  6.5mb a Cannon Raw file.  Click on "Edit" which will permit editing.
    Hover over image of photo and Right Click with Mouse, window will open, slide cursor down to "Duplicate" the photo and Left click.  A duplicate RAW file will be made. 
    4.  Click on Info to close out the Edit mode, Click on the Date Arrow (Upper left of IPhoto window) to get back to the name of the event.
    5.  Highlight the selected photo or photos, File > Export, select "Original", not the Jpeg that automatically appears.
    6.  Click Export.  New window will appear, in my case telling me it will go to Pictures.  Move cursor to window and select via arrow, Desktop to export to.  The duplicate RAW file will now appear on your Desktop.
    7.  Close IMac IPhoto Library.
    8.  Follow steps 1 & 2 above to Open the desired Library on the Seagate External HD.
    9.  Drag the RAW desktop Image into IPhoto Library, either into Events or Last Import.
    10. Close IPhoto Library.
    11. Reopen IPhoto Library by clicking on the IPhoto App located on the Dock.  The last library opened, will now be the default, which was the Seagate External IPhoto Library, will open.  Click on the RAW image you imported from the Desktop, verify through Info that the Image name and file size and type are exactly the same, in my case, CRW_0555  6.5mb. 
    12. Drag Image on the DeskTop into the Trash. (Empty at will).
    13.  You have now taken a duplicated Image or group of selected duplicated images which you created, which you have highlighted in IPhoto on your IMac, dragged them to your Desktop, switched libraries to a selected library on your External HD. and transferred an exact copy into that external IPhoto Library.
    Utilizing this basic technique, you can now do any of the following.
    Backup your entire IMac Library onto an External HD into a library of the same name.
    Take one or more selected images, highlighting each image in an particular Event on your IMAC HD.
    Transferring an exact copy of those Images into any particular IPhoto Library on your External HD.
    Transfer one image in an external  HD IPhoto Library-1 into another external HD IPhoto Library-2 on the same HD (by simply opening up  HD IPhoto Library-1, selecting photo, duplicating photo, Exporting Photo to Desktop, Closing IPhoto, Switching Libraries to IPhoto Library-2, opening that Library, dragging Desktop photo into IPhoto Library-2.
    You can identify all IPhoto Libraries on all drives and rename them as follows.
    1. Open Finder and locate IPhoto Library on the MAC HD under "Pictures", looking for the IPhoto Library Icon in the My Picture Folder (at least in my case).  It is simple to find, as it is brightly orange colored and as a description it states, "IPhoto Library"  not to be confused with the similar Icon which has a camera in front of it, identifying it as an Application.
    2. Double click on the IPhoto Library name and rename it.  I named mine "IPhoto Library IMAC-1"
    3. In Finder click onto Macintosh HD.  In the Search field, type in "IPhoto Library".  All of your IPhoto Libraries will show up that are on your IMac and on any currently connected HD's.
    4. I renamed them, example, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 1, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 2, IPhoto Library Seagate 3TB 3, IPhoto Library Lacie, IPhoto IMAC-1.
    Items like Library6.IPhoto of only 4Kb (when one opens "Get Info" in the finder, is listed as an "IPhoto Library" "Kind" of file type.
    When opened, it appears to contain full size images in a full size library, so perhaps this represents the icon pointing to the "Last import".
    Can anyone tell me what that represents?  I will not rename nor delete that.
    By keeping the names of the IPhoto Libraries, consistent, descriptive of type of drive and the name of the Library you have assigned to it, then simply opening Finder and searching for "IPhoto Library" and looking for the colored icons, one can see, at a glance where each is located (by looking at the bottom of the Finder window for the path which will tell what drive it is located and the pathway to reach it).  One will see each of their names.
    This saves me from purchasing 3rd party programs to locate duplicates, to merge and establish and rename libraries.  This probably will work well if I do no more than a batch of 50 pictures at a time. 
    It would appear that I will only do this massive procedure one time, making one library on my External HD, eliminating all of the duplicates as long as I let them have the same first part of the name, i.e., CRW_0580, and simply making a search.  They should all pop up in my search.  I can add on additional suffix names such as CRW_0580edit1, or pano, etc.
    Does anyone see anything flawed in my above procedure?
    Is there an economical easier way?
    I am not sure I want to purchase Aperture, which apparently is overdue for an upgrade.  I may want to wait.  I may decide on Lightroom, my Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 provides for far better editing capability than IPhoto, at least in terms of exposure corrections.
    Pros as I see it to my method - 
    Inexpensive $$$, no extra cost for extra programs
    Full manual control as to what gets transferred, picture by picture
    Cons
    Seems quite timeconsuming for a first runthrough of the 3,000 photos, both individual and edited.
    May have unforeseen consequences that I am not aware of.
    Advice is appreciated.  Though I have had this machine for several years, I am still trying to learn and have limited understanding.  I find written instructions hard to understand and follow, escpecially not understanding the differences between different what I believe to be synonymous terms.  I find YouTube videos informative but now answering all of my questions.

    The duplication is unnecessary. Exporting creates a duplicate of the file. So now you'll have a duplicate of a duplicate. Exporting is not "working on" a file.
    No it's not merging, it's exporting from one to the Finder and into another. No matter what lose something. If you export the Original you leave behind all the work you've done in iPhoto. If you export anything else, you lose the non-destructive editing and the ability to revert to the original. With merging you preserve that work. Yes, you can trash the old Library when you have completed the manoevre but no it's not the same thing as merging.
    This User Tip
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
    has details of the options in the Export dialogue. But in brief:
    Current gets you the iPhoto Preview, used for sharing via media browsers. It's a jpg, medium quality missing metadata. Original gets the file you imported, unchanged and then you can export different version of the current version at different qualities. If you choose to export anything except the Original you do not get a Raw. There's no such thing as an "edited Raw", and you lose the connection between the original and the exported version. That means you've taken a non-destructive workflow and turned it into a destructive one.
    The Tiff will certainly be higher qulaity and less likely to suffer generational loss in future editing but the file sizes are vast, often more than 10 times the size of the jpeg.
    Put it this way, it would be cheaper to buy Library Manager than the disk you'll need to contain all the Tiffs. Unless you plan on a lot of editing, I'd go for a high quality jpeg as a reasonable compromise.
    To be clear:
    So, I guess my new question is, how can I edit the Raw image and keep it in a RAW format that IPhoto recognizes so that I can reprocess without any loss at a future time, or is it that once you edit a RAW image, then it is no longer a RAW image?
    Once you edit a Raw it can no longer be a Raw. End of.

  • Does Aperture Recognize New Images?

    Sorry for the noob question... I use Aperture for a better way to tag/find/organize. For example, on my hard drive, I have an 'Animals' folder. This includes my dog, wildlife photography, etc. I should have it better organized, but as it stands, ALL images are in this one folder.
    That's where Aperture is coming in handy. With keywords, projects, etc, I'm able to find anything easily, rather than aimlessly searching around.
    Currently when I import, I select my photos to stay in their current location.
    When I have new animal photos, I obviously add them to my hard drive's 'Animal' folder as mentioned. However, is there a way to tell Aperture, "Hey - there's new images in the Animals folder. Update yourself!"
    I certainly don't want to constantly manually import. I'm pretty much looking for some quasi-Sync or something.
    Hopefully this made sense. Any help would be great here. Thanks in advance.

    I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras, sorry.
         Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
    The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
    Does this program have an otion to export the photos in a different format? Then it would be the best way to convert the image files to a supported format.
    Or check, if Adobe's free DNG converter supports your camera:  Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
    Aperture can import DNG files with the right settings.
    You might also simply import raw+jpeg and work with the jpegs as original files, while you are waiting for the raw support to be released.

  • ITunes does not recognize some iPhoto nested folder level ...

    Hi,
    Just for informative purpose, in case it can help.  In iPhoto my albums are nested in folders.  Sometimes they have 2 or 3 level deep.  iTunes does not seem to recognize some nested folder level in my iPhoto albums ... 
    The Library items in the picture below represents some second level folders.  They are displayed has albums while in fact they are folders.  The funny part is that not all 2nd level nested does that.  Some are recognize some other not
    The workaround is to recreate the folders ....

    LMAO. I've had this IPOD for 2.5 years and NEVER had a problem. Update the software and I have problems
    looks like I will be getting something else, besides anymore apple products.
    WINAMP and WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER work just fine with all of my files, but Itunes is having problem and the Ipod too
    and only after the last update...
    no way do I waste money again for this type of headache

  • SYstem Preferences does not recognize my iPhoto library.

    I have a sort of random problem. I can reset Preferences when restarting my computer and set system preferences for my screen saver and desktop, to use my iPhoto library which is on an external USB for what I think are obvious reasons. Sometimes the iPhoto library is available and sometimes it is not. If it does not show up in the screen saver or desktop pain it is usually grey on my external drive. I just restarted my computer and got the photos I wanted, but I know from experience something will happen and they will be lost.

    Locate a file named "com.apple.iApps.plist" and move it to your Desktop (for safe-keeping just in case,) then the next time you re-save your iPhoto Library, and/or change your wallpaper/screensaver settings, these should now work, and stick.

  • Profile Manager does not recognize existing OD master

    I built up a new Mountain Lion server at home, migrated all user data from an older server to it and today brought it into production in a colocation center. The nly thing I had to change in the colcocation environment was the IP address of the server. Everything else, even the hostname (DNS name), was already set in my home environment (I ran a DNS server at home for this). Profile Manager was already set up and therefore also Open Directory was running (without certificate). All users (except the admin) are stored in OD. At home I used the airport interface with a private address and in the colocation environment I use a public IP address on the ethernet interface.
    After placing the server in the colocation centre verything went OK, but for Profile Manager. I was able to login as admin and as a user, but I was not able to install profiles on devices (https://server/mydevices). Therefore I did reset Profile Manager following http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5349. But now when I try to use the configure button in Profile Manager in Server.app to set up device management, it wants to create an OD master or replica. This is not what should happen according to the knowledge base article. It should use the existing OD master and just ask for the organization etc. I have a clone of the server as it was configured at home and tried the same procedure on this server, but then everything goes as expected from the knowledge base article. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this on my new colocated server?
    I do not want to destroy OD, as I am not sure how to preserve all local network users.
    Thanks for your help!

    Open DTM and connect your BB via USB cable, then in desktop go to options and click on detect and look what it has there, if everything is ok go to main menu DTM and click on sync then on to config sync settings, make sure all is correct there, failing that in options you can check you setting in connections and PIN# are entered there.
    When you accept a solution from anyone could you please select the appropriate box.

  • Does Aperture recognize RAW shots taken on your new RICOH GR DIGITAL?

    Who else is having issues with Aperture not recognizing RAW files created with their new RICOH GR DIGITAL camera?
    Aperture has apparently been designed for photographers if you believe the advertising....but obviously not ones that know life's little secrets! And by that I mean RICOH's tiny compact cameras with great optics and fantastic handling. First the GR1, GR1S and GR1V - now the GR DIGITAL. The GR DIGITAL is the type of camera Apple should jumping up to support. Just as apple users are fanatical about apple products so are ricoh gr users.....
    Don't get me wrong - I love Aperture - but not having support for the classiest of digital compacts is just crazy. Please, please fix this asap! (or at least let us know how long we are going to have to wait for RICOH GR DIGITAL RAW COMPATABILITY!!!!)

  • ITunes does not show my iPhoto photos and albums in iPod Photos tab

    When I connect my iPod to my Mac, iTunes displays the iPod device. However, under the Photos tab, when I select the "Sync photos from" checkbox, and select "iPhoto" from the dropdown list, the "All photos and albums" radio button below it shows "(0 photos)". Also, the "Selected albums (0 photos)" radio button is grayed out, and doesn't display any of my albums or photos in the list below.
    So, basically, iTunes acts as if I don't have anything in iPhoto at all. I did an experiment, and moved my iPhoto Library out of the Pictures folder, launched iPhoto, and created a new iPhoto Library. I also added some albums and photos. These appeared in iTunes just fine! But when I moved my original iPhoto Library folder back, iTunes went back to displaying nothing.
    I also tried rebuilding my iPhoto libary (launch holding down the Cmd-Opt keys, and selecting all items to rebuild. This did not fix anything in iTunes.

    Have you checked for non-ascii characters in your Album Names, Picture Titles or Keywords? Specifically, be wary of any characters apart from the 326 letters of the alphabet and the basic 0 - 9. !@£$%^&*() can all cause problems.
    Also, have a look at this thread,
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=778068&tstart=0
    About half way down there's a post from Dave E which contains the following:
    Sal, I had a similar problem once. I'm sorry you had to go through so much of this but maybe what I discovered can still help you.
    - View your albumdata.xml file in some text editor, like TextEdit.
    - Do a Find (cmd f) for "List of Keywords"
    - The XML under that looks kind of like this:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite</string>
    <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    You will probably have more keywords, this is just an example. But see the format - everything that has <something> ends with </something>.
    When I had the problem, the example above looked like:
    <dict>
    <key>1</key>
    <string>Favorite <key>6</key>
    <string>Birthday</string>
    <key>3</key>
    </dict>
    Notice the line return and </string> are missing for "Favorite". This happened to one of my keywords, and I don't know what caused it, but I deleted that keyword (and the one after it) from within iPhoto's preferences, and typed them in again.
    The problem went away. Maybe some bogus character got into the keywords to make the XML go bad.

  • Aperture Library from iPhoto

    As a new user of Aperture i do not understand the issues relating to transfer of an existing iPhoto library to Aperture.
    I do understand that Aperture does use an existing iPhoto library without the need for migration, but i did a test and migrated the libary to Aperture and found that the detail was the same in both libraries but the file size went from. 28GB too 49GB, i would e greatful if i could get an explanation as to
    1. Why the file size grow by so much
    2. As Aperture uses an existing iPhoto library is there any benefit in migrating the library
    3. If migrating the library helps is there a way of then sliming down the file size
    Thanks in advance

    i do not understand the issues relating to transfer of an existing iPhoto library to Aperture.
    There are no issues as there is no transfer. Just open the Library with Aperture. Done.
    As to your other questions: how did you Migrate the Library to Aperture?
    And no, there is no benefit in migrating the Library.
