Does Lion read files on Aperture 2.1.4 or does it require an upgrade to Aperture?

I have lost all my pictures on Aperture 2.1.4? I recently upgraded to OS X 10.7.5 and wonder if this maybe the cause?

Thanks for your response.  My profiles are located within color sync utility as you can see here:   
These profiles do not respond to clicking and dragging.  Since they are all in one place, more or less, I'm reluctant to make further attempts to relocate them.  Accessing the CMYK profile is the first difficult experience I've encountered with this arrangement.  I have never needed the CMYK profile until recently, and that need has now past.  However, it remains a mystery to me as to why it does not appear with all the others on the menu of export choices in Aperture 2, or on the menu of profile assignment choices in the Preview application (where again all the other profiles are listed as choices).  I'm beginning to think my current set up will permit me to view an image that was created in CMYK space, but does not easily assign, or convert to that space.  I don't face these restrictions with all the others, so it remains a curious circumstance for me.  I anticipate upgrading my computer and software in the near future which might alleviate this issue altogether.  Again, many thanks for your attention to this matter.  The reach of this community is astounding.

  • Reading files in Aperture.

    Hi There thank all for past help.
    At the moment if I work on a file (make adjustments on a jpeg) in a project in iphoto can it be read when I open the file/album in Aperture? Or vice versa.
    Also is it easier to work in RAW files in Aperture or iPhoto?
    I've never worked on RAW files before but always take one just in case of that 'fantastic photo'!! I have been advised to start using the RAW images and get used to it.
    Finally, once I sort out my filing system, projects, books and albums, I would like to create more space on the laptop. Removing say years 2005 to 2010. If I copy these files to a hard drive can I remove them then from the laptop safely and will my projects and albums holding using these files loose the images.

    At the moment if I work on a file (make adjustments on a jpeg) in a project in iphoto can it be read when I open the file/album in Aperture? Or vice versa.
    That depends on your Aperture version. Aperture 3.3 and later and iPhoto 9.3 and later share an unified library format  and can work with each other's libraries. You can edit in iPhoto and use see the edits in Aperture, see: Aperture 3.3: Using a unified photo library with iPhoto and Aperture
    Also is it easier to work in RAW files in Aperture or iPhoto?
    You can work in both applications with raw images,but Aperture has the more versatile controls to adjust raw images. You will gain more from shooting in raw, when you have Apertures adjustment tools.
    If I copy these files to a hard drive can I remove them then from the laptop safely and will my projects and albums holding using these files loose the images.
    Aperture can reference images on external drives. If you are running out of space on your system drive, you can select projects in Aperture and let Aperture relocate the original image files to an external disk. All your projects and albums will still be able to reference the image versions with the external, referenced original files, as long as your external drive is connected. See this section in the manual: Aperture 3 User Manual: Working with Referenced Images
    Good Luck!

  • Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

    Hello,
    I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
    10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
    You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
    I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
    I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
    I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
    Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
    Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
    So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

  • Minilab won't read .tiff file from Aperture

    When Aperture exports a TIFF file it gives it the .tiff (rather than .tif) extension. Our local professional minilab uses an Agfa D-Lab 2 machine, and apparently this will not read files with a .tiff extension. The lab had to rename all the files on their PC first to give them a .tif extension.
    Is there a way of getting Aperture to export files with .tif extension? Or do we have to rename all the files after export before submitting to the minilab? Thanks for any advice!

    The .tiff extension is something Apple has needed to fix ASAP for a long time. It gets in the way of a proper workflow. When clients receive .tiff files and they work on them in Photoshop they'll end often end up with .tiff.tif files after they are saved. Very annoying and it probably makes the photographer look sloppy in the clients' eyes.
    I've tried the automator route and it doesn't work because it will not rename the extension. You can batch the files in Photoshop, save them as tif's, they'll then be ".tiff.tif" and then use a program like iView to extract the ".tiff" and replace it with nothing so that you end up with the the file_name and the .tif extension. IOW, a tiff named as it should be.
    I haven't tried it yet but I may pick up this software, A Better Finder Rename. http://www.publicspace.net/ABetterFinderRename/index.html It says it will rename the file extension and it will do it as a batch. Could be a lifesaver until Aperture fixes the .tiff issue.

  • When trying to connect my ipod to my 2011 nissan al I get is reading files.What am I doing wrong

    When connecting my ipod to my 2011 nissan radio system all that shows up on the radio is reading files. What am I doing wrong and how do I correct the problem?

    You can try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPOd.
    However, some accessorie,s like car systems, stopped working after iOS 5.  Have you contacted the manufacturer of the car sytem?

  • Unable to Rename Master File in Aperture 3

    Attempting to rename the Master File in Aperture 3 results in an error.  This problem started after upgrading to Lion.  I have used the same work flow for some time with no problem.  The error occurs both when attempting to rename on import (import crashes) or after importing and attempting to change the name.  The same problem is happening on both of my computers.  The master files are Nikon RAW (.nef) files.  Anybody else having the same problem?
    Thanks - T.J.

    Need a little more info:
    Can you tell us where your Masters are stored?
    Internal Drive?
    External Drive?
    Referenced or Managed?
    If external drive, how is it formatted?
    Are you using network storage?

  • An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be

    Does anyone know why I get this error message in PSE9 on a mac computer?
    An error occurred while reading files or writing files to disc. The disc may be full or there may be a problem with the source media.
    I cant put titles on pictures or delete them from the hard drive, etc.
    Please help.
    Thank you!

    Okay. I would suggest going to your username>library>preferences and deleting everything that is anything like com.adobe.Elements Organizer.plist. You will have more than one of these, one with the version number and possibly one with UUID in it. Also delete any lockfiles with the same names. While you're in username>library, also delete any saved application states for the organizer or PSE from your saved states folder. Then repair permissions and try again.
    The username>library folder is hidden in lion. To make it visible, in the Finder click the Go menu and hold down the Option key. It will appear below the little house for your user account.

  • Photoshelter and XMP file from Aperture

    Hello,
    I exported some Master RAW files from Aperture including the metadata XMP files.
    Then I upload the RAW files and the XMP files to Photoshelter.
    When I look at the IPTC info on Photoshelter all metadata is there beside the "creation date" of the photo.
    The XMP file contains the right information for the creation date as far as I can tell.
    Does anybody know, what's wrong here?
    Thanks and Regards,
    JO

    It's all run through the server or an external hard drive. We think we found the solution though.
    We tried to roll back out Camera Raw version to the 4.4 update since my employer uses Canon cameras and has issues with new version.
    Unfortunately we had to scrap the projects I had finished for him, but we're cutting our losses and moving ahead. Neither him or I can sacrifice more time into solving problems and getting this resolved.
    Thank you for the help.

  • Can't download driver for HP F4440 on my 10.6.8  ... says can't read file.

    Can't download driver for  HP Deskjet F4440 on my 10.6.8 ... says can't read file.
    Anyone experienced this?   Also weird, because I thought I had 7.0...Apple store says it downloaded Mountain Lion (the "cat" after Snow Leopard, right?) So why does it still say 10.6.8?
    Regardless, I need to use this printer as I just moved and need to print out important stuff for my business.  But  can't download the driver.  Why can't it read it?
    And I don't have the $30 to pay for HP tech support.
    Thanks anyone who can help with this.

    Hi peshi77,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are trying to install your HP Laserjet P1006 to your computer running Windows 8.1, but everytime you attempt to extract the files it crashes. After some research I see there were no updated drivers made available for the Windows 8.1 OS, you must install the Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver, to get the basic printing functions. Please click on the link below to download and install:
    HP LaserJet P1000-P1500 Hostbased Plug and Play Basic Driver
    Once downloaded, please follow the on screen instructions. I hope this helps!

  • Beginner question about RAW/DNG files and Aperture + Adove

    I used to use Microsoft Expression Media. When I would edit a .DNG file in Photoshop and update the sidecar or JPEG preview, EM would show the .DNG with the new adjusted preview in its catalog.
    I noticed Aperture 3.0 doesn't read these adjustments from my .DNG files. Is there a way to get Aperture to properly read my .DNG files?
    Conversely, when I make RAW edits in Aperture, can I view these on the .DNG master in Photoshop? How?

    Adrian:
    I have been using DxO Optics Pro in conjunction with Aperture. The easiest workflow that I have found is to run the images through DxO before bringing them into Aperture. I have DxO export the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs. (Sixteen-bit TIFFs are really big.) I, then, import the TIFFs into Aperture. There are two disadvantages to this approach: I do not get to bring the original RAW file into Aperture and using DxO on all images, even those that turn out to be rejects, takes a lot of time.
    I have also played around with adding images to Aperture, exporting masters before doing any Aperture image manipulation, running the exported images through DxO, exporting the converted images as 8-bit TIFFs and reimporting the TIFFs into Aperture. This can be done without Catapult. I think the advantage of Catapult is that it will automatically stack your processed TIFFs with the original RAW files in Aperture. The advantage of this approach is that I can use Aperture to decide which images I want to process in DxO. Remember that DxO will not see any work that you have done on the image in Aperture; this is why I do my DxO work before doing any Aperture manipulations.

  • Moving RAW files from Aperture to an EHD

    Whats the best way to move my RAW photo files from Aperture to an external hard drive? For safe storage and future access.
    It wants to export them as Tiff files which is fine. but l will want to delete all but the star rated ones form my macbook air to
    clear space.
    It will not be a back up it will be the only file stored so l will need to be able to re-load a file to sell it or use it in publications or as poster prints.

    In what way is an EHD safer than the current storage (presumably inside your Aperture Library package on your MBA's system drive)?
    In what way does an EHD offer better future access than the current storage?
    I suggest the answers to those questions is:  in no way is the EHD superior for the needs listed.
    There is no _security_ or _future access_ need for your RAW camera files that is better met by an EHD than by storage inside your Aperture Library package.
    The reason to relocate Originals from inside your Aperture Library package to a location outside your Aperture Library package is to make your Aperture Library package smaller.  The reason to make your Aperture Library package smaller is to be able to keep it on your system drive.  Your system drive is the best location for your Aperture Library package.
    If you want to make your Aperture Library package smaller, relocate your Images' Originals using the command Frank specifies.
    Note that none of the above is about _backing up_ your Aperture Library package or your Originals.
    You should keep two complete backups, using separate devices, of every computer file you use.
    As long as your Originals are inside your Aperture Library package, backing up your Aperture Library package backs up your Originals.
    Any Originals that are outside you Aperture Library package, must be backed up in addition to and separately from, your Aperture Library package.
    Aperture itself does not care where you store your Originals, as long as they are on a drive that is mounted to your computer.
    Originals that are inside your Aperture Library package are called "managed".  Originals that are outside your Aperture Library package are called "referenced".
    Referenced Originals can be "on-line" or "off-line".  Images whose Originals are off-line cannot be adjusted, printed, or exported.  You can edit their metadata (including moving them in and out of Albums, etc.).

  • Updating to Mtn Lion with File Vault 2 running ?

    I disagree. You are doing a major operating system upgrade. That changes all the base OS files, including the file vault files.
    I would think it foolish to do that type of upgrade with File Vault enabled.
    But we will find out as many will do the upgrade with File Vault enabled and if they have problems they will surely post about it.

  • Corrupt files in Aperture and RAM upgrade

    I have been having trouble with some corrupted Files in Aperture and after reading some discussion groups I was led to beIieve it might be a hardware problem and not just a software bug-some people experiencing similar problems traced it back to bad RAM. I performed a Hardware test w/ the Mac OS start-up disc. The results indicated this error code:
    **Error*code***Error*code**2MEM/104/4:DIMM2/J13
    Can anyone help me here? Does this indicate there's a problem w/ the RAM in my DIMM2?
    I'm running a Dual 2 GHz PowerPC G5, OS 10.4.9. Quite a while ago I added 2 1GB RAM modules tro complement the original 512.
    Thanks-
    Bob
    G5   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Yeah, sounds like it's a bad chip. Remove the chip from the DIMM2/J13 slot (you'll have to remove it's pair too) and run the test again to make sure the others work. Too bad with the original 512 it probably won't let you open aperture (though you can hack it to work.)
    Depending on the ram it could be under warrenty. I had a crucial chip that tested bad and the replaced it no questions asked.
