Flickr sets not synchronizing with Aperture

I have been using Aperture successfully to upload to my Flickr account for some time, but today I have been unable to upload images to a set. Curiously however, I can upload to my Photostream directly. I can use Flickr to move those items into a set, but in Aperture, I will never see those items in the set, no matter how many times I choose to "synchronize".
The feel of synchronization seems weird now. The publish or synchronize buttons induce a quick spin of the status icon, as if they are doing their job, then almost instantly stop, but nothing has happened. Like I say though, I can share to my photostream just fine though, so there doesn't seem to be any overall problem with the account connection.
I'm considering removing the Flickr account connection from my Aperture preferences, then remaking it, but I'm loathe to try that. I don't want to loose all of Aperture's existing knowledge of how the items in my Flickr sets correspond to items in my library, and I suspect I would lose that if I deleted the Flickr link.
Any suggestion of a less drastic solution before I try this would be welcome.
Extra points for fair disclosure or irrelevant extra information:
I had to reinstall Aperture 3.4.1 a month or so ago, after a failed update. Apple techs told me to do so after Aperture would crash when starting, from an apparently not uncommon bug with the installer. Although Facebook synchronization is working fine, I believe this is the first time since that I have tried uploading to Flickr.

I've found Flickr/Aperture sync problematical for some time, particularly when uploading to sets. Uploading to photostream worked fine - however, selecting a particular set appeared to have the effect of stripping out some of the IPTC data in particular replacing the date taken with the date uploaded.
Apple have shown little interest in remedying this. Until they do, I recommend uploading to photostream and allocating the image to a set from within Flickr.
Alternatively, use a plug-in (Flickr Export for Aperture by Connected Flow works very well for me).

  • Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time

    Hi,
    Slave instance can not synchronized with the master for a long time, and the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger. The transfer bytes per second between master and slave is 118MB/s , upper limit to the ethernet card. Why???
    ENVIRONMENT:
    1. A network program which we called mcdb is based on BDB 4.8.30. It is used to accept get/set requests and then query data from bdb or save data to bdb.
    2. mcdb implements replication with bdb replication manager api. The default start replication policy is DB_REP_ELECTION, rep ack policy is DB_REPMGR_ACKS_ONE_PEER and rep priority is 100.
    3. The bdb data files, bdb log files, region files and rep files are all in the same home directory.
    4. There are two instances of the mcdb are separately on two standalone servers which has no other programs. These two instances are in one replication group which can elect a master automatically.
    5. The master instance is online, which has lots of requests (get, set, delete).
    ACTIONS:
    1. Start two mcdb instances on two servers and the two instance make a replication group. Slave has already synchronized with the master.
    2. Stop the slave for a long time (more than 20 hours).
    3. Start the slave instance to synchronize data with master.
    RESULT:
    1. the gap of LSNs between slave and master are more and more larger.
    2. db_stat of master and slave:

    Hi,
    Unfortunately, this issue is beyond the level of what is supported over the forum. Performance related issues are extremely complex and require an in-depth understanding of your environment and dedicated support. In a generic sense, you can look at this as a basic queueing problem. You have a server that went down and work is still coming in. When the server gets started it is possible that it may never catch up depending on new work coming in and the rate at processing the old work.
    So what would you do in this case --- one thing would be to reduce the new work coming in. In HA terms this would be slowing the master down and you can increase DB_REP_ACK_TIMEOUT for this. Another thing you could do is add fresh servers to help reduce the workload. In HA terms, this would be the equivalent of restarting the client and give it a fresh look at everything. Another thing you could do is replan the system and load balance. In HA terms, it would mean something like take a hot backup of the master and reinit a client from scratch.
    If you are interested in getting a dedicated support person working on this concern, please let me know and we can move forward down that path. Just respond to the thread with your email address and I will get in contact with you so we can pursue that approach.
    thanks

  • How do I delete all the imported (not synchronized with itunes) photos on my ipad ?

    how do I delete all the imported (not synchronized with itunes) photos on my ipad ?

    Depending on how many photos there are, you can do it diretly on the iPad via the trashcan icon in the top right corner if viewing the photos in full screen, or via the icon of the box with the arrow coming out of it in thumbnail view and selecting the photos to delete (there is no select all option).
    Or you can connect the iPad to your computer and do it via Windows Explorer on a PC by selecting the photos and pressing delete, or on a Mac iPhoto/Aperture should have a delete option at the end of their import dialogues.

  • Outlook 14.4.8 not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox"

    Outlook 14.4.8 on iMAC Retina and Yosemite 10.10.2 is not synchronizing with Exchange 2007 anymore (shows "downloading" but no new messages shown in inbox".
    Accessing Mails with Webbrowser and from Windows Outlook is working correctly.
    All Macs (also the ones with OS 10.6.8) do not anymore show any new messages in inbox.
    Restarted Server, tried to disable autodiscover on macs and deleting/adding account and repairing database does not fix the problem. Also restarted server several times.
    We have the same problem on 2 imacs retina with yosemite and on 2 mac pro with 10.6.8 and different office 2011 versions.
    i tried to configure the exchange account in apple mail on yosemite and it also states "connected" and does list some folders but no new mails are getting in.
    Windows clients and outlook on them works and syncs fine, and also when connecting via webbrowser at owa it must be a mac-specific/webdav issue.
    exchange 2007 Sp3 Version 8.3 (bild 83.6) and Update Rollup 15 for sp3 (automatic updates "HIGH" for server and clients)
    there is one update popping up again and again even after everytime successull installation: Windows Mlicious Software Removal Tool x64 - October 2010.
    i tried to configure a new user with empty mailbox and configured it with microsoft mail (mac - yosemite)  as exchange and was able to send a mail from there (even if quite delayed).
    but there are not coming in any mails.
    same exchange accounts triggered by imap do work and also via owa.
    Exchange Accounts in Outlook for MAC and also in Mail (Yosemite) do show the folder structures but there is no mails showing up. I can send mails from the exchange accounts created but they seem to be processed with a delay of like 15minutes and outlook
    is giving error "end of file reached" but messages are send after some time.
    Does seem like EWS is extremely slow, to slow perhaps to sync and therefore ending in timeout.
    Also i cannot reach the server from externally over ssl https 443. if testing port 443 of exchange from outside the port seems closed even firewall settings of sbs 2008 and sonicwall ports are correctly open.
    could it be there is something in regarding webdav which is very slow and leading to timeouts ?

    Hi,
    Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.

    Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
    If it is the case, please remove them.

  • CUIC not synchronizing with NTP server

    Hi all,
    I am working with a customer who has CUIC 8.0(4)
    Recently, we installed the RTMT tool in the Operations Console and noticed an alert indicating the server is not synchronizing with NTP.
    After running the command "utils ntp status", I got the following output
    admin:utils ntp status
    ntpd (pid 17892) is running...

    I restarted the CUIC server, removed and re-added the two IPs as NTP servers, and changed the registry as recommended in this link:
    http://htluo.blogspot.com/2009/02/ntp-network-time-protocol.html
    But the problem is still there.
    Any advice? I am taking the same action plan as if it was a CUCM instead of CUIC since they have the same OS (because CUIC issues are not that common) and I welcome any suggestion that applies with CUCM.
    Appreciate your replies,
    Sahar Hanna

    Hi Anand,
    Thanks for the reply.
    It seems in the above link that the CUIC version is 8.5.x mine is 8.0.x so I don't know if it applies also here
    In addition, I found out that this problem is a bug CSCte17541 and the workaround is to point all systems to a reliable UNIX NTP source, or a Cisco Router running NTP

  • Calendar not synchronizing with Exchange server

    2 weeks after upgrading to OS X 10.9.4 Calendar is not synchronizing with our university Exchange server. Problem is with 2 different computers, iMAC and MacBook Air (both with ethernet and wifi)). Mail is working/synchronizing fine. Outlook calendar (on both same Macs and Parallels PC) is synchronizing fine. iCLOUD events are shown.
    Noticed that it is a one-way problem- not downloading/synchronizing from the server but events entered on both problematic Calenders are found in Outlook (and of course in the OutlookWebApplication). Practically I can't work anymore with Calendar.
    Tried to delete Caches - didn't help. Tried to restore old preferences- didn't help. Any help? Thanks!!

    Still happens with 10.6.2.
    It clearly states in mail help that this should happen -- yet it does not.

  • How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    It is not a good idea, to manually delete registry keys. Java uninstaller removes all registry entries that are needed to perform clean future installation.
    You might see some of the keys not removed by Java unistaller but they do not prevent any user from doing fresh installation of Java in future.
    Java removal tool is currently being developed, but that is for removing old/unsecure and unsupported Java versions. The tool isn't really intended to remove current/above security baseline versions of Java.
    Also, the tool does a standard un-install using msiexec /x. It won't specifically delete registry keys - it lets msiexec do it.

  • Device has not synchronized with DOE

    Hi Experts,
    We have NW mobile 7.10 SP8 installed.
    Created a device type LAPTOP.
    After installing NW Mobile client 7.1 setup08 (and MaxDB) and entering Synchronization settings (connection),
    I still see "Device has not synchronized with DOE" in mobile device administration.
    How do I sychronize device with DOE ??
    I don't see any option after logging in to mobile client.

    Hi,
    The hostname and port of which DOE box you have entered in your Synchronization settings (connection), you need to enter the password for the correspoding user of that DOE box.
    Say the user name which u have created in your client is XYZ, the same user should be present in your DOE and the (synchronization) password has to be that of ur DOE user (login) password.

  • Few 5DmkII RAW files do not open with Aperture, but OK with other software

    Hi, I have two RAW files which I cannot import with Apple Aperture. The files open fine with Canon Digital Photo Professional, Raw Photo Processor and dcraw (and with various programs on my Windows 7 laptop) and I'm able to create TIFF files from the RAW files with every other software.
    Detail about the files:
    A. they are two first frames of burst (used auto bracketing, which takes 3 images in burst mode, to create HDR image)
    B. there is nothing strange in the files, they are normal RAW files and file size is normal as well (other 28.4MB and 32.7MB)
    C. both files process OK in above mentioned softwares and there are no blocks missing from created TIFF images, also preview JPG in the RAW file is OK
    D. Mac OS X Quick view (press spacebar in Finder) and Preview do show these two RAW images well (I assume they use the embedded JPG image)
    I have installed all the updates available in "Apple icon" -> "Software update..." function. Therefore I have Apple Aperture version 3.0.2. Computer is MacPro:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 12 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
    SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
    How I can submit the files for Apple to create fix? I searched for Apple Aperture support but there is only this forum, no email address or anything. Do they read this forum?

    Some clarifications and answers to your questions:
    First to Tony Gay:
    I try the feedback later today even they claim "Please know that while we do read these submissions, we cannot guarantee a personalized response.", which is original reason why I'm why I wrote this question here. The url you provided did not work but this should:
    http://www.apple.com/support/feedback
    This is not relevant to sRAW files, I did not change the between camera taking automated bracketed shots the image format for 2 shots to sRAW and took 3rd with RAW, that is not even possible.
    I have copied the images from card to hard drive, not trying to read from the card itself. However now you mention tried also from card = exactly same result. Tried desktop (different HD) and external USB and external eSata, all same result.
    Get info doesn't show anything wierd for the images. All other 192 RAWs from same shoot were imported with exact same methodology (as well as 60000 images before that).
    Then to gosuk2:
    There is no HDR setting in camera, I took the images FOR HDR, but did not use any specific setting, just used 1 1/3 stop bracketing and 2 second times when camera automatically takes 1 1/3 underexposed, correct exposure and 1 1/3 overexposed image (the order of images can naturally be changed via custom function in camera). All this is unrelevant since I shoot quite often HDR with this method (=more than 500 images each month) this way and they have always been fine before these two images.
    I see the files in import panel and I the don't use import dublicates setting so that doesn't affect the situation (why it would, Aperture things files are broken).
    Again HDR cannot be combined in 5DmkII, it's just automatically shoot 3 bracketed shots.
    No I don't get same result no matter what I do, it's just these two files. My other ~5000 HDR bracketed RAWs are importing fine as well as all burst/shots taken in continous shooting mode.
    I'm very aware how stacking of images works, but I do not understand relevance to this issue. I can not import the images at all to Apple Aperture, after importing all images Aperture displays dialog saying that following files could not be imported to Aperture, then displays list with both of these files in the list and gives possibility to locate the files in Finder.
    I have used Aperture since version 1 and I have 70000 images imported successfully to Aperture. Earlier I have seen this dialog "Aperture could not import image" only after hard drive/card failure. However then images cannot be used in Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any other RAW software - now the problem ONLY EXISTS in Aperture all other RAW converters are able to open and process SUCCESSFULLY these images.
    So I'm not whining that Aperture is not good, but if it starts to work only part of the images in future and I have to process rest of the images with Canon DPP (that program is really lousy on usability standpoint) then I'm not so happy with Aperture anymore.
    Will report here if I get any comments back from Apple through the Feebback tool.

  • Old conversations are not synchronized with new MacBook Pro

    Hello!
    Yesterday I purchased the newest Retina MacBook Pro (medio 2014), upgraded to Yosemite and started installing and setting up my applications. Sadly, I seem to have a problem with iMessage, since it's not synchronizing my messages properly.
    Up until now I've been using an iPhone 3GS, a MBP (medio 2009 w. Yosemite) and an iMac (late 2012 w. Yosemite), and everything seems to work fine, since all the devices share and can access the same conversation history. However, when I started setting up iMessage on my newly purchased RMBP, the conversation history with each of my contacts isn't synchronized even though I'm able to send messages. I tried logging in/out, delete/add my iCloud account, but nothing seems to work.
    I assume all of my messages are synchronized with iCloud. Of course it would make sense if it took some time for Apple to recognize and synchronize the messages, but it's been 18 hours since I started messing with iMessage. Am I being to impatient?
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    It is a yes, no and maybe answer.
    You have to grab several items form the old Mac and place them in the correct places on the new Mac.
    As you seem to be using Yosemite all round that task is easier (that is a relative easier),
    See this pic
    Note the Path Bar across the bottom that list where this Archive folder is.
    It can be shortened to ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iChat/Data/Library/Archive
    (you can type or Paste this in the Dialogue box in the Finder > Go Menu > Go to Folder)
    In the Messages folder is also an Alias that links to the Attachments folder.  (I will come to that later)
    You also need this spot.
    This is Still in ~/Library but not in the Containers bit but just the Messages folder.
    It has the Attachments folder and the various chat.db items.
    Move the Contents of the Attachments from one computer to the new one.
    Move ALL the chat.db items (I must admit I am not sure about leaving the incompatible ones behind).
    Make an Alias of the Attachments folder and drag it to it's proper position (in the Containers/../../Library/Messages folder)  (replace the one that is there so it is linked to the moved stuff).
    Now go back to the Archive folder.  If you are using the Show Path Bar (view Menu of Finder) then you can Right Click the folder icons
    Select the Archive Folder and then Get Info on the right click.
    At the Bottom highlight your name in the list for Permissions.
    You Should have Read and Write Permissions.
    If you now use the Gogwheel type icon you can see if you Own the Folder.
    If it is greyed out like this one then you Own it.
    However you are most likely to have to "Apply to Enclosed" items as you have just moved things.
    Repeat for the Chat.db and Attachments (~/Library/Messages folder).
    And then the Alias just to be sure.
    There is not an Export option that would be simpler.

  • Nikon D2Xs NEF not working with Aperture

    This is so shocking. I should have researched more..... but I cannot believe that Nikon and Apple do not have it together on Aperture??
    I just switched from the Canon 1DS, which worked like a charm with Aperture, to the Nikon D2Xs and Apertrue will not support NEF files from the camera. Frankly. I am pretty stunned. What's the deal? I find a lot of chatter in the forums about other Nikon model NEFs that are not working.
    Since there are only 2 serious top of the line pro-digital SLR manufacturers out there, I would have thought that they would both be supported fully.
    Nikon Tech support said that their plug-in developer kit has been available for a long time, it is up to Apple to take advantage of it.
    Am I out of line here - ranting on..
    Does anyone know of a solution to this issue, other than dumping Aperture and moving to Nikon's Capture NX (when they get to finally release it) and Photoshop?
    Many thanks for you help in advance,
    NIck

    So you switched from Canon to Nikon. I decided to do
    the switch vice versa. What were your reasons to pick
    Nikon?
    The EOS and the D2x are both very excellent cameras. Some things I find better with the D2x:
    Image quality.
    First off, as far as I know prints from Canon's best and Nikon's best are similarly excellent. In spite of the EOS's ~50% higher cost and additional pixels it does not provide significantly better prints. Nikon worked some pretty good engineering to achieve that.
    Price.
    Most photography involves price tradeoffs with faster/better lenses, etc. costing more. In the case of the D2x the arguably equal and in some ways better camera actually costs $thousands less.
    Speed.
    The D2x shoots RAW at 5 to 8 fps versus the EOS 4 fps. When you are trying to capture the "perfect" instant of a rapidly changing scene higher frame rates increase the likelihood of catching the perfect moment. Or if you are auto-bracketing, faster speed captures your bracketed images before the scene changes. The concept of shooting a burst of 5-20 frames just to catch the very best pic is new to most photogs, because with film it was impractical. With cameras like these DSLRs new photo workflows may evolve. [Edit: My workflow has evolved. I now shoot almost all dynamic shots and many group shots as a burst of 2-5 pix at 2-5 fps.]
    8 fps Crop Mode.
    The D2x will shoot 6 megapixel images taken from the center of the frame at 8 fps. So if one wants to shoot tele action shots like sports it is ideal.
    Buffer capacity.
    IMO a much bigger issue than fast frame rate is the buffer capacity at that fast frame rate. The D2x captures about twice as many pix (~22) as the EOS does before the buffer fills.
    Card capacity.
    Canon built a slower camera with 30% more pixels and that leads to less images per card, slower file transfers, etc.
    LCD size.
    The D2x LCD is more than 50% larger than the EOS. The larger LCD changes everything as far as the ergonomics of DSLR workflow are concerned. Just try a D2x side-by-side against the much smaller EOS LCD.
    Exposure Compensation (used constantly in DSLR workflows).
    +/- 5 EV for the Nikon versus +/- 3 EV for the Canon.
    Weight.
    Being a 200# male with large hands I don't worry about size and weight too much. The Canon does weigh almost a pound more. Dimensions are pretty similar, with the Nikon a few mm larger. If size/weight are issues the Nikon D70s and Canon 20D are much smaller but sacrifice pro features like good viewfinders.
    Self-timer.
    Nikon has choice of 2/5/10/20 seconds whereas Canon is only 2 or 20 seconds. I find 2 seconds is sometimes not enough to let the camera settle down on the tripod if it is extended, so typically I use 5 seconds. Using 20 seconds as a cable shutter release substitute would drive me crazy. Often this is moot because I almost always have a cable shutter release with me.
    Framing.
    Some folks prefer a DSLR to be the same lens factor as 35mm film. Other folks do not. Quality superwide lenses are achieved at a $500-$1500 cost while supertelephoto is a $5000-$15000 cost; personally I prefer the 1.5 factor since it extends the expensive telephoto range. However, 1:1 versus 1:1.5 is a matter of personal preference rather than one being "better" unless print quality were to suffer.
    The high end EOS does beat the Nikon D2x hands down in lower noise at ISOs of 800 and above. I am not familar with the high ISO performance of the D2xs, however.

  • Media Browser not loading with Aperture 3.1

    I upgraded to Aperture 3.1 with the automated software update and have come across a debilitating problem - the media browser can no longer load Aperture photos. When I click on Aperture the browser that shows up in a standard file open dialog window just has a spinning grey circle. Media from iPhoto or iMovie will load, so it's something specific to Aperture after upgrading. This is a big deal - are there any recommended solutions? Have others comes across this problem with Aperture 3.1?

    Hi,
    See the discussion at the link below -- I can only confirm the problem, and am not confirming the one posted solution because I have not tried it yet, and have not reasoned why it works, although it very well may.

  • Flickr set not created

    Hi
    I'm using iPhoto 9.1.1. I have a problem with the flickr upload. The photos and videos upload (albeit very slowly compared to standalone flickr app) but the set that is created in iPhoto based on the event is never created.
    I'm left with a list of images and videos in flickr that are neither in a set, nor tagged, nor in a collection though iPhoto still thinks that there is a flickr set for this items.
    Any idea why that might be?
