HELP RESTORING MY APERTURE PHOTOS

ok ill try to explain this the best I can...
I am trying to restore photos in aperture threw TM. When I enter TM I click on my external HD where the backups are saved on the bottom left. I search to a date on one of the folders I want and search threw it until I find the Aperture logo and I right click it and select browse file. I then search until I find the photos I was looking for. When I try to restore that specific folder to my desktop all the photos are crazy small files. they should be huge like 17mp each. ok so I go back to the aperture folder restore that date cuz I know the pics i want are in there, well when the folder gets restored to my pictures and i open the library in aperture those pictures are no where to be found. A lot of other pics are there but not the ones i saw in a sub folder in TM. Not sure how to restore those and was wondering if Im doing something wrong. PLEASE HELP CUZ THEY ARE MY HONEYMOON PICS AND THE WIFE IS ON MY CASE:) THX!!!!!

First: are your Masters Referenced on Managed? I will assume they are Managed (the Masters are stored inside your Aperture Library).
Others may have a more refined plan. Until then, you might try this:
Make a separate back-up of your current Library (copy your .aplibrary file to a second location).
From TM, restore an older version of your entire Library file to a new location (not the one it was backed up from).
Open this Library, select the Images you want, and export them as a Library, including Masters. Close this Library.
Open your current Library and import the just-exported Library.
Discard the restored-from-TM Library.
(Totally optional: Stop referring to your wife as "THE WIFE". It's disrespectful, even when none is intended.)
Good luck.

How to restore all aperture photos from Time Machine

My 2 main Aperture libraries are all messed up (cannot get photos back into their correct projects, some thumbnails are empty, etc. etc. I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture library. How do I do this?

I think it's time to just restore all the photos from TimeMachine/External hardrive back into one NEW single Aperture library. How do I do this?
That are two tasks that you want to do in one - restoring from Time Machine and creating a new, merged Aperture library. Ths cannot be done in one go.
You can use Time Machine to restore your two libraries from the backup. But since Time Machine does not do archival backups of photo libraries, you can only restore the last backup TM made. Depending on when you last ran TM, this may very well be the current versions of your Aperture libraries.
To restore a library from Time Machine:
Connect the backup drive.
In the Finder navigate to the folder with your Aperture Libraries (for example "Pictures") and open this folder as the front-most Finder Window.
With this window selected, go to the TM icon in the Finder's menu bar and "Enter Time Machine".
In the TM Time Line at the right of the TM Time Tunnel select the current backup and select the Aperture library in the Finder window. Select to "Restore to" this library to a different folder, so that you do not overwrite your current library.
Once you have restored both libraries, check, if the projects that you are concerned about are now separated again and are showing all thumbnails.
To help you to create a new, combined library from the restored library, we will need to know more. There are several options, e.g.:
Merging the two libraries by importing one into the other.
Exporting all your originals, project by project, and reimporting them.
What is your Aperture 3 version number? Do you have the latest version 3.4.5 or an earlier version?
How to proceed will depend on what you could recover from Time Machine.

Nokia Lumia 928 apparently died after an attempted Windows 8.1 update. Replacement phone arrived the next day. How can I restore my contacts, photos, etc.? Backup assistant is no help and I don't know how to access the Cloud.

Did you have the phone set to backup things to the One Drive on Microsoft servers?

How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?

How to restore a single Photo with time machine in Aperture 3 / iphoto?

Its been awhile since I used iPhoto, but I have done it.
If I recall correctly this is how.
In iPhoto open event that you need to restore the photo to ( the event that originally contained it )
Then open TM it should show that same event and then go back in time until you find the missing shot
Highlight the one you need to restore and tell TM to restore it.
Good luck

It was tele tech. I couldn't open my Page Numbers etc. Frist tech chat idiot - following dumping few things in bin, asked me yo upgrade to Yosemite. But the problem still persists. This morning I was asked to do it via telephone and like yesterday, after wasting 20 min, I was put to this apparent Tech Queen ( my foot!). She eventually decided to reinstall Yosemite asked me to connect my external drive while I connected to her. She was moving cursor asking me to move files and delete and I followed her like a dummy. It took 3/4 hours and she called me 3 times once the lengthy process was completed. I suspected from the beginng for the fact that why should be asking me to click all my backup from the very beginning! Eventually she said I deleted... Or someone else or may be my children ! It was a blatant lie. I run my small business from home and I was simply staying in front of the Mac whole day! Children were at school. Then she said I must have used another computer! I only have laptop and the iPad. I will talk to their manager first thing in the morning. In the mean time please let me know as to how can I transfer photos, music etc back to my laptop from my Iphone and IPad .? I am will connect to laptop as I am worried the new BLANK iPhoto may supersede iphone/iPad stuff? Will it? Please let me know. I am not a very tech savvy person. My son who could help me, is in Manchester Uni and Inam in London.

Hello purpleroses68
To download any photos that were on your My Photos Stream, then you will need to have Photo Streamed turned on within your computer. Keep in mind that My Photos Stream only holds the last 30 days of photos and those will be the only one that will download. Check out the articles below for more information for the process and general information about getting your photos downloaded.
Archive or make copies of your iCloud data

HELP!!!Can I restore back my photos and documents after I did factory restore setting? [never back up before]

Just wonder, I have tried to do that for my mac pro. [ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OtUw-vo606w] , once I have reinstall the mac lion, the laptop will be just as the same day when i first purchased it right? Will i be able to restore back my photos ? Please note that, i never back up my photos before.

Yes if you erase/wipe, re-partition the drive before you do a reinstall of OS X Lion all data on your drive will be removed and replaced with just the operatiing system and the standard programs that come with OS X, Mail, Contacts, Safari, iTunes and the like. The iLife Apps, "i" Photo, Movie and Garage Band will not. Those Apps need to be downloaded from the Mac App Store and installed.
All other programs you have bought and installed will need to be reinstalled from either the CD/DVD disc or from downloads from the internet website you bought them from.
Backing up all your music and photos depends on what programs you are using and whether you saved them outside the Apple Apps iPhoto and iTunes database structure.

Aperture photos not showing up in other apps

I just noticed that all my aperture photos arent showing up in other applications that provide an aperture hook. EXCEPT for the latest images that I have imported.
All my images are the and I can see the folders fine in other apps, but they show empty. I did have to do an archive and install lately so am sure that I had some files that didnt make it over..
How can I recreate my library in order to fix this?
am not missing anything in aperture, just the integration with other apps, I tried exporting and then importing my library but lost all the organization that i had done. so reverted
thanks.

I had updated the previews with no luck, I just restored my library from the vault and it is rebuilding everything now.
that worked! maybe update previews was different than a rebuild of previews, but i didnt see that option.
thanks

Error (-50) synching Aperture photos to iPhone

Hi,
iTunes seems chronically unable to synch some of my Aperture photos to my iPhone. This is not universal, but it happens consistently if I include certain albums in the list to be synched.
Basically, the synch proceeds as normal, with the iTunes status saying "synching photo X of Y" with X counting up, but after a while, it stops, generates a popup and none of the photos appear to have synched. The popup error says "The iPhone MikesIPhone cannot be synched. An unknown error has occurred (-50)." A message is also written to a console that says:
6/28/11 11:26:27.403 AM com.apple.usbmuxd: MuxSendToClient send failed for 0xf-3315a3c0884bb37651fb55ab4a70721a40ac329d@0xfa250000:65438->0x1003296f0-iTun es/com.apple.iTunes:5644: 32 - Broken pipe
Any ideas how to fix this? I've tried "Generating Previews" in Aperture for all of the photos in the offending album, but this does not help. (Note that the photos sync fine with an old-style Apple TV.) I feel like the iPhone-downscaled cache of the image must be corrupted somehow, but I don't know how to force it to be rebuilt without deleting/reimporting the photos (and thereby losing all of my edits and metadata, etc.)
Thanks,
Mike

I'm having the same issue. It appears to be a problem in Aperture because the iPhone will sync normally if I select iPhoto in the Sync Photos from menu in iTunes (or if I stop syncing photos altogether).
I read on another thread about deleting the iPod Photo cache, so I did that, but it didn't have any effect on this problem.
This issue only recently started on my machine, and I can't recall doing or changing anything that might have induced the problem.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cannot share aperture photos

I can no longer share aperture photos with apple TV using home sharing in iTunes. This happened just recently, probably since 05/01; however, only notice a few days ago that this is happening. I have aperture since Jan/11 and shared photos normally. I can select aperture from drop-down menu in iTunes, but the total photos shared shows 0 (I have at least 9000 photos in aperture database). Please help!

I also had the same problem, but was able to resolve the problem by creating a brand new Aperature library, and then importing my old library into it. I made sure that the Aperature preferences were set to share everything, and when I went back into Apple TV it could see all my photos.
This could be a real pain if you don't have enough disk space, to copy your entire library, but I didn't have this problem.

Aperture photo book vs iPhoto quality

Hi, will photo books printed from Aperture give me better quality than photo books from iPhoto 6? This will help me decide if I should buy Aperture or not.
Is it true that Aperture prints books at 300 dpi and iPHoto at 150 dpi?
Any advantages to printing photo books in Aperture (what does Aperture photo books do that iPhoto doesn't)?
Thanks,

Recently I uploaded and had printed a hardbound book that had been designed within Aperture. Prior to this, I have used iPhoto to produce 10 such books starting back in 2002. I have always chosen the picture book format because it provided the largest images.
This time I used Aperture because it allows large images with small captions and a good deal or freedom of length and placement.I particularly appreciated the good snap placement between the pictures and other captions. The ease of producing 2 page spreads was impressive. The book ran 84 pages and the quality of the resulting was very good–on a par with my other Apple photo books.
On only one occasion have I had a problem with quality control of these books. In that case an a good high resolution image was pixelated. In that case, I was able to call Apple and speak to someone, who after hearing my description, asked me to send my copy back and issued a reprint order.
My only bit of consternation with this order is that I found no such contact information enclosed with the book.
Finally, I haven't seen any specific suggestions within this formum for third-party print houses that can produce good quality books. Just assertions that alternatives do exist. I would be willing to strip down the .pdf file of the book I have just created to some of the trickier images and see how these one of these print houses fare.

Can't share Aperture photos with iWork and iLife

I can't see my Aperture photos in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 application. I am running 1.5.4; sharing previews is enabled in Aperture Prefs; previews for my entire Library set to 1280px (and there are definitely previews for every master image). However, I see nothing in any iWork '08 or iLife '08 app – no Aperture 'disclosure triangle' in the Media pane. Nothing. Zip.
I have rebuilt the Aperture database (Command + Option on start-up) for all 242 projects, but still no go.
The only thing I think it could be is that my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' (all 95GB of it) is stored in its entirety on a different hard drive, with an alias pointing to it from my '~/user/Pictures' folder on my boot drive (which it shares with iPhoto Library). I thought alias' were supposed to be transparent to the OS and the other apps would be able to see my 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' as if it were on my primary drive (i.e., the same drive). Is there a permissions thing happening here?
This one has got me stumped. Any thoughts on why I can't share my Aperture photos with iWork '08 or iLife '08 would be gratefully received.

Solved it!!!
I just went a little berserk with the plist files in ~/user/Library/Preferences (sorry, not very scientific....).
Interestingly, in addition to iWorks and iLife apps having their own preference files, there is also a file called 'com.apple.iApps.plist'. This was locked for some reason. Anyway, it and all the other pref files got trashed and then the trash emptied. Then I restarted my Mac and opened up iPhoto.
Bingo!
Same for Pages, etc.
Thanks to all who took time out of their day to help me -- much appreciated.
