Is it possible to export a Book from Aperture 3 to iPhoto?

I shot a wedding for a friend and made a layout of a book on Aperture 3.
Printed a few books which I thought were beautiful.
I was wondering if it would be possible to export this book from Aperture (with the layout and photos intact) as a file (editable or read-only), so my friend can import and open it using iPhoto and order more copies of the book through Apple when she pleases.
Tried Google and couldn't find an answer. Thank you for taking the time.

How about importing from iPhoto into Aperture 3?
I have made a photobook in iPhoto and then bought Aperture 3, but I can't find it possible to export the book in a format that I can open in Aperture. Also, when I export the book in size Large or above, iPhoto crashes.

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

Export my slideshow from Aperture (with music) to a CD

I'm having problems with exporting my slideshow from Aperture. I'm also new to the mac and aperture, so this could be part of the learning curve!
I would like to export the slideshow (with music) to be played on a non-apple computer via a CD. I see the export options, but they all seem to be specific to other apple products or a TV.
is it even possible to copy the slideshow to a CD?
Thanks!

I see the export options, but they all seem to be specific to other apple products or a TV.
These export options are just guidelines to pick a suitable resolution and codec. If you pick one of them it will render your slideshow and export a Quicktime movie; then you move this movie to a folder and burn this folder to a CD.
If you want a movie that can be viewed on a display of anoter computer I'd go for the option with the highest solution and pick the full HD option: HD 1080p. All other options will result in higher compressed videos with less resolution.

Just imported picture library from Aperture - Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5.7.1

Just imported a large picture library from Aperture to LR 5.7.1- Can't view Nikon D800 NEF files in LR5. The projects and files loaded - but no thumbnail view of the image

I have a Nikon D50 nef on my desktop. Double-clicking on it opens Photoshop, which launches Adobe Camera Raw. If you get that far and can make adjustments in the ACR panel, you are fine. That's what opens first.
Then you click "Open" in ACR and your nef opens in Photoshop and the document tab on top gives the .nef extension. You make your edits there, but if you close Photoshop, you won't save it as nef, it won't be in the Save file list. You save it as psd for example and close Photoshop.
You now have a nef with develop settings on your desktop and the psd you saved out of Photoshop.
All perfectly normal as J.J. said, Photoshop will edit the nef file, but it will be saved in a format other than nef.

Problem importing library from Aperture

After having imported my whole library from Aperture to Lightroom, I end up with 23000 photos, instead of 35000....

Could be a number of factors going on. First, your library may have a large number of non-importable files, such as PNGs or MOVs. Second, you may be looking at a view including versions in Aperture. Do you use versions extensively? There also could have been a problem during import, but that would require more information to troubleshoot.

Need to Export All Images from Aperture to Photoshop. Can anyone help?

I'm new to Mac. Just got my iMac in January. I wanted to buy the Mac version of Photoshop Elements 8, but the Apple salesperson convinced me that Aperture 2 would be much easier. After three months, I've discovered that Aperture is just not for me. I just purchased and installed Photoshop Elements 8 for Mac today. I would like to move all of my images from Aperture to Photoshop and delete Aperture from my computer. I cannot figure out how to do this. Whenever I try to export, the Aperture "library" appears as a big block that won't open or prompt for subfolders. Please help!

Pvonk has good advice. I just want to make sure you understand the Aperture has a Master and at least one Version of each image file. The Master is the original -- never touched. The Version is at first a copy of the Master, but as soon as you make any changes it holds those changes. So you have to decide whether you want to export the Masters, the Versions, or both (which you'll have to do separately, afaik). Aperture gives you the choice. Click "Photos" in the Library tab of the Inspector, then select all, then "File>>Export". If you want to maintain your groupings (e.g.: Projects), you will probably have to select the images in each group and export them as a unique set.
Note that Aperture is a very powerful image database (pros refer to this as "Digital Asset Management") in addition to (w. v. 3) being a very powerful digital photograph development lab. Photoshop Elements does none of the former, and a very different kind of job than the latter.

PLEASE HELP!! How Do You Restore ITunes Library From IPOD Back To Computer

My entire library on intunes has been deleted and now all I have left is the music which i still stored on my ipod. I have done a total search on my PC and there is no track listings at all. My only chance is to restore the itunes library from the Ipod back to the PC. Is this possible and how do you do it. Am totally gutted and cant beleive the files are gone. Plllllease help me.

If you're using iTunes 7, you can copy purchased music back to iTunes directly. If you're not using iTunes 7 or want to copy other tracks, the easiest way will be to search VersionTracker for "iPod". You'll find a number of utilities that can transfer your tracks and your playlists from your iPod back to your PC.
It's also possible to do this manually, but the procedure is rather involved. If you're interested, though, see this thread:
MacMuse: Computer crashed
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Discussions page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums, in the User Tips Library and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

HT1349 I just purchased new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded Itunes, but when I try to add my Music Library from the back up dvd's I created off my old computer it doesn't automatically start the back up process like it did before. How can I "restore"

I just purchased a new PC with windows 8.1 and downloaded new itunes, but when I try to "restore" my music library from the DVDS i made from my old pc it doesn't automatically restore my library as it used to. How do I restore my music library from DVDS?

Thanks but I already did read all of the help notes, which aren't very helpful for this. I did find out the problem- Apple.....they evidently changed one of the major upsides to their old software- being able to back up your entire library onto dvd's- so you can longer do that or restore from the dvds created from older versions of itunes. I suspect greed is at play in that Apple now wants you to pay $24.95 per year to use a "cloud" service where they back it up for you. I can buy a lifetime supply of back up dvds for one year's worth of cloud. So I am now looking into other music software as I am Appled-out. There is no reason for them to take away the back up portion of the software other than to sell you thrir cloud service. As we have already given them a ton of money for 5 Ipods and a bunch of music, I think we have contributed enough. Time to look to solutions outside of the Apple money tree. But thank you for reading and replying.

How to Import an iPhoto library from a back up to dropbox

I have a dropbox account with my newer pictures. I dragged the entire iphoto library there and as a result, have data, and all those other files within iphoto.
I have an external drive at the office with old iphotos as well. Is there a way to import just the photos over to dropbox without all the other files?
(I have a larger account on dropbox than icloud; the photos are greater than the 25gb.) Thanks for all of your responses.

The only way to merge iPhoto Libraries is with the paid vesion ($20) of iPhoto Library Manager

Export img's from aperture for 3rd party printing

I am trying to figure out how to export photos (RAW and jpg) from my Aperture library to be able to submit jpg files to Costco Printer Center, for example.
In iPhoto, you clearly just hit export, and tell it how good of a copy you send to whatever location you choose.
In Aperture, it appears there are more settings.
I am printing proofs and also creating a high resolution disk from the files so they may print to maximum size allowed by the resolution my camera captured. It seems in Aperture, it is really easy to "fool" a file reader into thinking there is more data in there than there really is by just saying do 350 dpi at whatever size, for example. Or 800dpi at whatever size.
I want accurate resolution and full resolution. The last time I exported since I wasn't sure, I just reopened it in iPhoto to export. But, I am trying to transition to Aperture and really do not want the added step as I know there is a setting that fits my needs, I just don't know for sure what it is as the default says 72dpi for Original size, which sounds off to me. 300dpi sounds more right, but again, I am not sure how I am suppose to have this set.
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
P.S. iPhoto has some export plug-ins (e.g. Shutterfly), but last I checked, didn't have Costco. Is Aperture the same way? This is why I export to a folder in my documents folder and then upload from there as there isn't a way to easily access via Finder the files to upload to Costco. (PSE9 has an export function to Costco if you bought your PSE at Costco, but if I use that then I am sending the pics to PSE9 to then export to Costco... not really a savings of time there either.)

One additional question:
I did try to turn the auto correct off on a few pics sent to Costco. And also sent the few pics again with the auto correct on. The ones with it off seemed worse. I remembered after the fact that I needed to do some profiles... and, I don't think I've calibrated my iMac I bought last fall.
So, even if I hadn't committed all these blunders and everything was profiled to a T, would the people receiving the disk be able to send the files on the disk, let's say to Walgreens on auto-correct or whatever they decide to do, and receive the same results I would from Costco?
Or would it be better in the long run to give them generic files that are planned to be auto-corrected by whichever print center and not go through all the hassle of profiling?
I hope my question makes sense.

Exporting RAW files from Aperture

I need to export or somehow generate a RAW file from within Aperture. My photos in Aperture are RAW files and I need to export/get a copy to take to my printers so that the file can be fine tuned before printing. Any help would be appreciated. I am using version 1.5.6.
Ed

does that still leave a master in Aperture or do I need to import it back in?
thanks,

How to Recover iTunes Library from improper back up

The story: My hard drive was failing. I panicked and backed up using SuperDuper to an external USB drive. Apparently my internal drive was already damaged enough that SuperDuper couldn't complete the back up. It got about 60 of 80 gigs. I ended up having to zero out the internal drive and reinstall all our software. I have pretty much all the critical files back (it's amazing how much useless junk winds up on computers,really) except the iTunes libraries for each user.
When I look at the external drive I can see the iTunes files for each of the four users on the system. The problem is when I attempt to access the files, I get a message that says I'm not authorized.
I've got two questions:
1. Is there a way around this authorization thing? Some shareware or something?
2. If my kids dock up their iPods to charge them (the iPods still have the music on them) will the computer "sync" the iPod to the now empty library that's on the computer?

*If my kids dock up their iPods to charge them (the iPods still have the music on them) will the computer "sync" the iPod to the now empty library that's on the computer?*
If the iPods are set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent an iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Once the iPods are connected it might be a good idea to change them to manual updating at least until you have your library back in shape. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

Export to SmugMug from Aperture - all metadata is lost

I've had flawless results in metadata remaining intact using SmugExporter or ApertureToSmugMug until recently. Now all of my exports strip the captions, keywords and even the basics of 'date taken' from my photos when they post to SmugMug.
What is going wrong? I'm using my MacPro, Aperture version 1.5.6 and Tiger 10.4.11.
I read a post while researching this problem about checking a box saying I want to export metadata. I don't know where it's located. I never checked it and I certainly never un-checked it.
Any suggestions are welcome.

Thanks for the response, Vittra. I'm guessing that's a simpler way to fix settings, but I can't check it out right now since exporting does not work in the background on Aperture. This is the method I was told to use and it worked too:
I searched and posted in several forums before calling Apple Support today. I've discovered the problem with that tech person's guidance. If anyone else faces this dilemma, check your settings here:
Aperture > File > Export Versions
Then you get a pop up box with some drop down menus. The top drop down box has 'Edit' at the bottom of its list. Go into there. You'll have several preferences to choose from (file type, dimensions, quality, etc) and there's a tiny box that accidently got unchecked which says something like: Include Metadata.
I can't check it for exact wording because I'm merrily re-exporting right now - Metadata intact!
