Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library

Mac OS X 10.10.1 (yes, Yosemite...)
Aperture 3.6
Lightroom 5.7,1 (CC version)
When trying to import some libraries from aperture I get this immediate response "Failed to obtain image version information from Aperture library".
In the plug-in import window, Number of image/video files is "undetermined", as well as Disk space required.
Tried with different Aperture libraries, but with the same negative result.
The plug-in worked in previous Lightroom version or when it was a stand alone plug-in.
Thnak you

OK, here is the workaround I did to migrate all my images.
1. I broke down my Aperture library into separate libraries based on year (highlight all the 2014 projects, for example, right click, and "export to library")
2. Import each separate library into Lightroom, one at a time.
3. Delete the year-based libraries - and leave your original library on the drive (in case you need it in the future).
I found I had one project in my 2013 photos which was causing Lightroom's scan of my database to fail. So I ended up creating metadata riders for that one project and imported it after I got the rest of my images imported.

  • Can RAW images from Aperture library stored in an External HD?

    I last night[I thought I did] stored projects from aperture library to an external Iomega Mac version HD.[Partitioned the Iomega into two One large225GB for Time Machine and small 125GB for just back up folders]
    Then I have reinstalled my Mac OS.
    Now I connect the HD to my Apple Mac Book Air and see the saved images on the external HD but not highlighted and not there for available to open in my Aperture Apps?
    I also tried to import selectively the Aperture images from my Time Machine back up and that too failed.
    I on opening the Aperture selected "Import photos form a Disk" but that failed too.
    I have also saved to the same external HD some modified photos saves as JEPG and they open ok.
    When I reinstalled the OS and registered in a different name, would that make any difference to importing Aperture projects saved on an external HD?
    Can anybody suggest a way to open those Aperture project folders that I have stored on my External HD?
    Regards

    Projects are entirely maintained in the Aperture Library. You can use 'referenced masters', in which your masters don't reside inside the library (and the library merely keeps track of where you decided to keep them.)
    When you import new photos, Aperture updates some information in the library so that it knows the photos exist, where they reside, what sort of changes you've made to them, etc. You can't just plop new images into an external folder and expect Aperture to notice them. Think of this as "formally introducing your photos to Aperture" -- via the import process. Aperture wont deal with any photo you haven't introduced to it.
    I would be remiss if I didn't mention the alarm bells and red flashing lights that went off as soon as I read you were keeping your photos on an external drive partitioned for Time Machine and backup folders. Bad bad bad.
    There are two types of disks in the world: (1) Those that have failed, and (2) those that are going to fail. Sadly, even backup drives are not an exception to this rule.
    Never keep the "working" copy of your data on the same physical drive as a "backup" copy of your data. When the drive fails (and someday it will) you'll just lose all your copies of your work -- so much for having a backup. Drives are very cheap these days. Just get another one and dedicate your backup disks just for backups.
    As you have a MacBook Air (and thus only a single USB 2.0 port) you might want to look into "Network Attached Storage" (aka NAS). This way you don't have a tangled mess of a USB hub hanging off your Mac with several disk drives also hanging off the side of your Mac. The disks just live on the network - as though they're remote file servers. If the network is connected via Gigabit ethernet, the effective throughput to read/write those drives is about 3x faster than a locally attached USB 2.0 drive (no kidding!). You might think this is really expensive -- but you'd be surprised. I was checking prices at Other World Computing recently (an online store of products targeted to Mac owners) and noticed you can buy an empty NAS enclosure (meaning you buy the disk to go inside it) for as cheap as $25! An enclosure with 250GB disk pre-installed and Time-Machine compatible was about $120. To put this in perspective... I recently paid about $150 for a B+W Circular Polarizing filter. So all this technology costs less than one decent lens filter for my camera.

  • Remote Desktop Virtualization Host failed to get redirection authentication information from the virtual machine

    Hello,
    When implementing a VDI solution, I'm getting an error on our virtualization host server.  The error is:

  • Lightroom 6 migration from Aperture Library

    Hi, I have bough Lightroom 6 for win but I don't find the Plug-in Extras > Import from Aperture Library. Can you help me?

    john beardsworth wrote:
    Do you see it in Plugin Manager? What version of the plugin? It should be 1.0.989919. Is it enabled?
    I'm not sure it's designed to run on Windows. Adobe may have assumed that only Apple users would need it.
    Can't find them now, but yes, the plug-in only works on Lightroom for OS X.  Confirmed by Adobe.  Only option is to run the migration on a Mac and use the result on Windows.

  • Error when trying to import from Aperture Library

    I'm trying to import my Aperture Library into Lightroom using the "Import from Aperture Library" plug-in. Every time I get a "?:0: attempt to index a nil value" error as soon as I click the Import button. I've tried removing Lightroom (and its ancillary files) and re-installing, I've tried different destination disks for the import, I've repaired the Aperture Library, nothing helps - the same error appears every time. I'm using a Retina iMac with OS X Yosemite and LR 5.7.1. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

    Hi Jack
    I think it may still be work in progress and you may need to wait a little. Problems have also been reported importing from iPhoto. See this thread:

  • ITunes syncing lower-res versions of photos from Aperture library VS iphoto?

    Today I changed my iPad's photo syncing prefs so that it would sync photos from my Aperture library as opposed to iPhoto. To my dismay I've discovered that it appears to be syncing REALLY low-resolution versions of the images compared to what it was syncing in iPhoto. Most of my shots are 21MP, and I understand that when they are synced to an iOS device, they're resized/compressed, but when I was syncing from iPhoto, I was typically able to zoom in to 2x zoom and things would still look good, whereas now that I'm syncing with Aperture, the exact same images appear to have been synced at a lower resolution than the iPad's screen!
    This is NOT an issue with offline images or missing masters either.
    What gives? This seems to be incredibly backwards as I imagine the majority of Aperture users would want larger versions synced, and iPhoto users wouldn't care as much. How do I resolve this? Can I?

    Aha. Well I guess that solves it -- I do have my preview settings super low-res.
    That's a really strange/questionable design decision. This means I'm actually better off using iPhoto or manually syncing with folders (I have good reasons for using low-res previews).
    Thanks!

  • Obtaining SAP User information from J2EE Application

    Hi All,
    I am using SAP NetWeaver Developer Studio to create a J2EE Application, which requires accessing user information from SAP coming from Windows Active Directory.
    My question is as follows;
    Is there a possibility in a J2EE application to use an API to obtain user information (ie. from com.sap.security.api.jar) just like in a regular WebDyn Pro Application?
    For Archive Build Info (compile time), do I need to import specific JARs? For runtime, do I need to load any project reference?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michael

    Yes, I have added 'Run time' as well as 'Build time' for the com.sap.security.api.sda DC as well as for com.sap.tc.Logging DC.
    I have also added the following references to application-j2ee-engine.xml file:
    <application-j2ee-engine>
         <reference
              reference-type="hard">
              <reference-target
                   provider-name="sap.com"

         <fail-over-enable
              mode="disable"/>
    </application-j2ee-engine>
    I am still experiencing the same problem:

    Is there any other JAR I forgot to add to my used DC? Is the security JAR dependant on something else?

  • Image files exported from Aperture do not arrive at Photoshop Elements 11

    The odds are that you are using the wrong file as the external editor. You want this one:

  • Downsized images when imported from Aperture

    The latest batch if images I imported into iPhoto from Aperture were somehow downsized to half the size, ie from 3888x2592 to 1944x1296.  In other words, cut in half.  This has never happened before.  Previously, the iPhoto image had the same dimensions as the image in Aperture.  Would this have something to do with Lion?  I need images with over 3000 pixels on at least one side to sell them.  Thanks.  Larryt

    How did you "import into iPhoto from Aperture"?
    If you're using the media browser (File -> Show Aperture Library) then what you're getting are you Aperture Previews. The size of these is set in your Aperture Preferences.
    If you exported from Aperture then the export preset you used in Aperture is what defines the size of the image.
    So, no, this has nothing to do with Lion and only to do with the settings you are using in Aperture.
    I can't help but wonder though, why you are using iPhoto at all, if you use Aperture. Is this complexity necessary?

  • IPad, iPhone image display order from Aperture

    When I used to sync from iPhoto, the images were displayed in the same order as the iPhoto album.
    Now that I'm syncing from Aperture, the images are being displayed in Filename order. How can I change it so the iPad displays in date order? Is there something I need to do when creating the album?

    No, it just seems to be a bug. I have been reporting it to apple some months ago now i think.
    It took them 2-3 weeks to understand the issue and aknowledge its a bug.
    nothing has moved every since, i am pretty fed up because all my pictures are very mixed up
    please do use the aperture-feedback page. i dont get the feeling apple is working on this issue.

  • Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

    Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
    I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
    I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
    I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

    Hi,

  • Photo's are pixelated when chosen from Aperture library in System Prefs.

    When I go to system preferences to choose my background image, all my Aperture Images are extremely pixelated when clicked on.
    Example: If I have a 1440 x 900 image to perfectly fit my background it appears as a stretched out 640 x 480 extremely low res image.
    But if I export the photo from Aperture than drag it into the background drop box in System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver the images looks like it should. It's just that this way takes way more time and is a hassle.
    Any idea? common problem?

    One more question not related the pixelation is that in System Preferences/Desktop & Screen Saver

  • Mobileme Album List disappearing from Aperture Library

    My MobileMe Album list disappeared from my Aperture Library a few days ago.
    Aperture activity window shows "MobileMe - Retrieving Album List" every time I start up Aperture, and quits without error messages, but no album list appears.
    Anyone know how I can get my MobileMe album list back?
    Thank you.

    Upon further investigation of this new 'feature' I came upon the following.
    In my above example, let's say I have my Library A open.
    I can see the MobileMe albums of the other libraries (B and C) that do not belong in A.
    I just clicked on a MM Album of library B and it is now synchronising the contents of this Album with my Library.
    So now I have photo's of MM Albums B and C showing up INSIDE MY LIBRARY A
    Good grief APPLE !
    It get's even worse. The synced photo's manifest themselves inside smart folders, ilife media browser and iphone/ipad syncs !!!
    I'm having genuine problems with some aspects of Aperture since version 3.0, there is an open bug in bugreporter that seems to be unsolvable, and after 8 months of bugfixing (february 3.0.1 to November 3.1) this is what they come up with ???
    The worst part is that it seems this new 'feature' was intentional :
