How do I enable the Move Option When Importing (It's Greyed Out)

Bonjour,
I am trying to figure out why Aperture 2 does not ask to delete photos from camera (Canon SD950 IS) after import or why the "move" option is 'greyed' out. I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality? I know that it is technically possible as the simple app "Image Capture" that comes with Leopard does exactly this.(Imports then Deletes from my camera) It's just that Aperture cost too much money in my opinion to force one to use an external app to do what you want done, especially since it is not a difficult function to perform as evidenced by aforementioned app in Leopard. TIA.
Hardware: 17' Glossy HiRes Mac Book Pro 3.1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 Ghz 4GB Ram
OS: Mac OS X 10.5.3 All updates applied
App: Aperture 2.1
A bientot,
William.

Please don't take the following as a flame...
<quote>The move option is grayed out when importing from a card to save you from yourself. At least that's what I've always assumed.</quote>
That's a bit draconian don't you think? Why have the option greyed out if you don't want the user to be able to do this. It's kind of like saying hahah, this is possible to do, but, you, the user, are a moron. Why even place the option on the page in the first place.
<quote>It just happens to be a bug that few on this forum care to see fixed because most of us feel that using it is unwise due to the danger of lost images and corrupted cards.</quote>
Again, why put it on page as an option if it weren't intended to be enabled in a plist somewhere for those who wish to be 'unwise.'
My logic is as follows: If Apple provides software that is more accessible to the 'unwashed masses' (because it's included with Leopard ie. Image Capture) and it deletes images directly from the camera, then why would a professional package (Aperture) limit the so called 'professional' from designing and using his/her own workflow governed by their own experience. Which could include first a backup to dvd or other device of your choice (keyword here: CHOICE) THEN import images and delete directly from the camera. Logically this is completely BACKWARDS, the app available to the 'masses'(Image Capture) should NOT let the user delete images directly from the camera and the 'professional' app (Aperture) should allow more flexibility for the advanced user who understands the implications of his/her work flow and adjusts accordingly.
Besides, And I quote myself "I have searched the forums here and have only seen people offer advice why this is not good. Not to be an A##, but I don't want advice. I need an answer to my question. How do I enable this functionality?"
Therefore, respectfully, your answer is: non sequitur.
Best Regards

  • How can I enable the GPU option on a new mac pro with 2 AMD D700 graphic cards?

    I have recently purchased the new mac pro and I saw the GPU option is not enable and only recognizes the CPU one, what is frustrating. Does anybody know how to enable the GPU option?
    thanks

    See this for details of how the GPU is used in After Effects:
    http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/2012/05/gpu-cuda-opengl-features-in-after-effects-cs6. html
    Note that your card will be used for all of the GPU acceleration features but one---the ray-traced 3D renderer---which requires an Nvidia GPU. That is an obsolete feature that you don't need to worry about, anyway. There are many better alternatives to using 3D in After Effects, including Cinema 4D, which is now included with After Effects:

  • How can I see the connect option when mapping a printer microsoft iis 7

    We use iis 7 web printing. Firefox is our browser of choice. However, when we go to our webpage to map a printer, and click on a printer, there is no connect option to install the printer. This is only in firefox. Internet explorer works fine once you click the compatibility option.

    Looked through all of material, none have the answer. Firefox browses to the directory fine, x.x.x.x/printers. but you cannot install the printer because the "connect" option is not there.

  • Clicked on a lightroom template and now can't get it to go away when trying to print my photos. How can I remove the template option when I want to print photos?

    Using Lightroom 5 on Mac. Trying to print photos and clicked on a lightroom template to see what it was about. Now all the photos i want to print apply this template and I can't figure out how to clear this template. HELP!!

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How do I remove the white space when importing a site from Flash?

    Okay, so I've dragged and dropped my created Flash site into Dreamweaver. One problem though, when I view it in a web browser (any web browser), it displays the site fine, however with a huge white space to the side of it. You'll see what I mean in this screenshot:
    What can I do then to remove that white space and make the site fill up the whole web browser? I've tried resizing it using a number of ways, but cannot seem to get it right.
    Thanks.

    function(){return A.apply(null,[this].concat($A(arguments)))}

    You can do two things:
    1) Change the width of the container to 100%;  OR
    2) Post a link to your test page here (not the code nor picture) so that we can see ourselves what your code looks like.

  • How do I get the transparency option to open when saving a project?

    I am working with a .tif and I remembered that I have to flatten the photo, so I went to Image menu and selected flatten.  Then I went to File menu and selected save as.  It seems though that I have missed a step in the process.  I don't know if there was something I was supposed to do prior to the File menu. When in the Save as menu, I save the image as a TIFF and not a psd. Another dialogue pops up and this is where the transparency option is but it is greyed out so that I can't select it.  What am I missing?

    Thanks for your help!  I just figured it out. Your reponses led me to what I was missing...which was the removing of layers after I was finished editing the image...once I did that, when I went to save the image as a .tif, the save transparency option opened...Thanks again!

  • How do I enable the passbook app in ios 6.  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    how do I enable the passbook app in ios 6?  Nothing happens when I click on it.

    Yes, you do need an antivirus app for iOS. However, they don't currently exist because Apple refuses to make their 'proprietary' technical OS specifics freely available as open source code or to any Antivirus companies, who could examine and potentially identify security holes. Many security problems have been identified by Apple and fixed as part of iOS updates in the past (details are readily available in the iOS update information) and this will likely be a bigger problem in the future as malware authors move toward the technology leader as a target. But right now you can't get an antivirus app for iOS which scans the iOS device wholesale. This is despite the fact that (legitimate) apps are available which can take control of the entire device, install apps, wipe them or the device, view information, etc (for example Sophos Mobile Control). SMC can be installed by tapping an email link to a website and then tapping 'OK' to a couple of dialogues.

  • How do I remove the password step when renting movies?

    Hi Guys,
    How do I remove the password step when renting movies? I find the interface tedious and would like to eliminate this step.
    I figure I can police my account through my receipts from iTunes which are always itemised.
    Is there a place I can change the preferences to automatically allow downloads in my apple TV?
    Thanks in Advance,
    Chuck

    It actually asked last time I made a rental.
    Can't remember right now if there's an option in iTunes store Settings on the unit.
    Will check when I find my remote!

  • How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    How can I keep tabs on the file size when importing from the Event Library into a Project? I want to ensure the movie will fit onto a 4.7Gb disc?

    iDVD does not care about file sizes, as it compresses the file to the standard DVD format of mpeg2.
    It only cares about length i.e. max 2 hours including titles etc.
    iDVD encoding settings:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iDVD/7.0/en/11417.html
    Short version:
    Best Performance is for videos of up to 60 minutes
    Best Quality is for videos of up to 120 minutes
    Professional Quality is also for up to 120 minutes but even higher quality (and takes much longer)
    Professional Quality: The Professional Quality option uses advanced technology to encode your video, resulting in the best quality of video possible on your burned DVD. You can select this option regardless of your project’s duration (up to 2 hours of video for a single-layer disc and 4 hours for a double-layer disc). Because Professional Quality encoding is time-consuming (requiring about twice as much time to encode a project as the High Quality option, for example) choose it only if you are not concerned abo
    In both cases the maximum length includes titles, transitions and effects etc. Allow about 15 minutes for these.
    You can use the amount of video in your project as a rough determination of which method to choose. If your project has an hour or less of video (for a single-layer disc), choose Best Performance. If it has between 1 and 2 hours of video (for a single-layer disc), choose High Quality. If you want the best possible encoding quality for projects that are up to 2 hours (for a single-layer disc), choose Professional Quality. This option takes about twice as long as the High Quality option, so select it only if time is not an issue for you.
    Use the Capacity meter in the Project Info window (choose Project > Project Info) to determine how many minutes of video your project contains.
    NOTE: With the Best Performance setting, you can turn background encoding off by choosing Advanced > “Encode in Background.” The checkmark is removed to show it’s no longer selected. Turning off background encoding can help performance if your system seems sluggish.
    And whilst checking these settings in iDVD Preferences, make sure that the settings for NTSC/PAL and DV/DV Widescreen are also what you want.
