Can anyone help me in moving my pictures out of Aperture 3 and into iPhoto?
Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library. So,
1. Export all your Masters
2. Export all your Versions
You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.
I assume some photo's which were taken on my Canon 550d won't show up? And it will show a blank picture instead?
Why do you assume this?

How to import from PE10 into iPhoto

I am about to buy PE10 but I have seen a lot of discussions on the web about problems saving from PE into iPhoto. Is it achievable and how? I will be using PE for more complicated manipulation involving layers.

Afraid not. You will need something to convert those comments into standard photo metadata like Exif or IPTC.

How to import from Aperture to iPhoto

Hello all,
Can anyone help me in moving my pictures out of Aperture 3 and into iPhoto? It was fairly simply to move them over into Aperture however I can't seem to work out how to do the reverse.
Also I currently have iPhoto '08 but will be shortly purchasing iPhoto '11 from the App Store. Till this happens I assume some photo's which were taken on my Canon 550d won't show up? And it will show a blank picture instead?

How to import from dropbox into FCPX?

Hi, Can FCPX use shared disks or Dropbox folder for import?

Those transitions should exist inside a folder with the full Transition name. Inside the folder should exist another file with the Transition Name.motr (the file type .motr) plus a large.png and small.png and a Media folder. That is a complete transition "package" for FCPX.
That complete folder needs to be placed in:
your internal hard drive (root drive) / Users / YourUserFolder / Movies / Motion Templates / Transitions
Inside the Transitions folder will be other folders (unless you've never added any other transitions before, or added the supplemental content) -- they are all given "Category" names (e.g.: Stylized). You should either create a New Folder and give it a unique name (Friend's Transitions) or pick one of the existing folders and place the entire Transition folder inside (for each transition you have.)
Back in FCPX, your new transitions should be available in the Effects/Transitions browser under the Category you placed them.

Import from Aperture Created Extra Collections (2 for 1)

I used the Aperture Import plugin to import my Library to start fresh with Lightroom 5. It created many extra "collections" that I now don't know what to do with. It would take me hours to change the hierarchy in Lightroom now that this has occured.
Sample Aperture Hierarchy:
PERSONAL FOLDER
     FAMILY FOLDER
          SISTER PROJECT - contains photos
          DAD PROJECT - contains photos
          MOM PROJECT - contains photos
How they transferred to Lightroom 5 Hierarchy using SISTER as example:
PERSONAL COLLECTION SET
     FAMILY COLLECTION SET
          SISTER COLLECTION SET
               SISTER COLLECTION (NAMED "PROJECT PHOTOS") - contains photos
Essentially, it duplicated efforts and created two (a collection set and a collection) for every one project in aperture. (see SISTER above)
It did this for hundreds of collection sets/projects! It seems in order to correct this I would have to go back and remove the last COLLECTION SET for every COLLECTION and Change it to a COLLECTION INSTEAD (renaming it from "PROJECT PHOTOS" to the COLLECTION NAME). I tried some of this but it didn't seem to want to let me move the COLLECTIONS named "Project Photos" into the COLLECTION SET?
My questions are:
Is there a way to change or clean up my aperture library so it won't import this way? (Considering just deleting the Lightroom Catalog and starting from scratch with a new import). I have to have the sub categories for organization.
Is there an easy way to change a collection set to a collection and have all the pics show up there. I tried moving photos from the collection into collection sets and it would not let me.
Is there a way to choose/customize how it imports from Aperture and select whether things = collection sets or collections?
Should I use regular import instead? Will that work differently and if so what are the steps?
What is the correct hierarchy based on the Aperture example above as to how I should be organizing my photos?
Finally, In terms of my CATALOGUE; I am not thrilled that it brought everything in by day (3/13/2015, 3/12/2015) into my catalogue! Is there an option to tell it HOW to import? Say by month? Will I have to keep up this sequence every time I import now? (I plan to import/sync with SmugMug from now on: Iphone to SmugMug to Lightroom)
Thanks and any help is appreciated!

and obviously that's not possible directly from Aperture (why not?),
Obviously it is, consult your Aperture Manual. But here’s a hint: Start with File -> New -> Book...
What do I do wrong?
You’re using the iPhoto command: Show Aperture Library, correct?
When you do this you’re accessing your Aperture Previews. IF you want to use better quality images either a: use better quality Previews in Aperture, or export the images from Aperture and import to iPhoto.

How can I import pictures from aperture into iPhoto

Since moving to mountain lion OSX, I can't find a way for importing pictures from aperture into iphoto. There used to ba a tab under archive in iPhoto where you could view the aperture library and select pictures to import them into iPhoto. This tab has diappeared. Could anyone tell me how it's done now?

I noticed indeed that you can change the library under "archive" in iPhoto but when I choose aperture library I can't find the same structure of albums as in aperture.
Sorry I don't understand this. What is "archive"?

How do you import iPhone video from Aperture into FCPX?

I need to import some iPhone 4 video files from Aperture into FCPX. For some reason there seems to be no way to do this. Please do not suggest I import the videos directly from my iPhone. #1 the videos are already off my phone and #2 I have no desire to import all my iPhone videos separately into FCPX when I am already importing them into Aperture along with my photos.

You have to drag them from their location, (finder or iPhoto etc) into one of the events in the event list of FCP X.

How do I get images from Aperture into print shop for mac?

Friends,
I have Print Shop for Mac and Aperture. How do I get images from Aperture into Print Shop? I'musing managed images with previews. Is there any option besides exporting to the desktop and importing?
Thanks!
Steve

if you have previews turned on in Aperture and they're all genereated, you can simply drag-n-drop them into any application (just about). drag-n-drop is essentially the same as copy/paste as long as the application is setup to accept "drops" onto its windows.
otherwise, if you're running Leopard (10.5) as your version of Mac OS X, when you import (or whatever it is in PrintShop), you should get a file selection dialog. from here, scroll down the left-hand side bar set of icons. near the bottom is a group called "Media". click on the triangle to open the group, choose Photos, and from here you should see an Aperture icon. click this and you'll see your whole library (or at least the portion of it that you have previews generated for. select the photo you want and viola!

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

How to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping designer

Hi All,
Can u please tell me how to import the IDOC into Seeburger BIC mapping desginer.
I have scenario My scenario is SAP GTS 7.0.....>Seeburger BIS.....>Atlas customs system for Germany
Idoc coming from SAP GTS to Seeburger BIS and then convert to EDIFACT send
to Atlas systeam.
Regards,
Ramesh.

Hi Ramesh
BIC is a tool from Seeburger to transmit the XML data to EDI and EDI to XML.
Seeburger mapping programs for transferring the XML data to EDI data and EDI data to XML data, but not for the structure changing, in the IR your mapping program is same.
Receiver side you need AS2 Adapter for converting data to EDI target structure. we have many EDI versions are available, for converting the EDI to XML or vice versa AS2 gives some default mapping programs, xml to EDI or EDI to XML convertion done through this mapping programs.
Seeburger AS adapter provider provides some mapping programs(for example EDI4010 version or other), if you are using the same EDI version(4010) then you can use that mapping programs, if the version is different then we can manually generate the Seeburger X2E and E2X mappings for the corresponding version and signal(850 or 810 or ..), for this seeburger provides the mapping designer tool (BIC), there we can develope the X2E and E2X mapping programs and configure this in the Seeburger work bench.

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:

How to import from old address book?

Hi all, I've searched the net about my problem but with no result.
I have an old mac (a G3 iMac running 10.3.9) with a lot of contacts on its Address Book, and I do mean a lot. The computer is completely dead, but I have a copy of the contents of its internal hard disk on a new mac running Lion. My problem is importing the old contacts into the new Address Book. The file formats have changed and the old files can't be imported into the new application, they are not even recognized as addressbook files. Obviously I can't export from the old system since it's not running. The old AddressBook.data file is a terrible junk of names, addresses, telephone numbers and everything else organized in an incomprehensible way (I can't just manually copy the addresses from the file). Does anyone know how to import those contacts into the new format? Otherwise, I'll have to find somebody who owns an old system with an old Address Book application so that I can export the files from there. Thanks a lot

As it's been 3 months, you probably have resolved this by now, but I had a similar problem today and resolved it with help from a tech at the Genius Bar at my local Apple Store.
If you ever backed up your "Library" folder from your old Mac, it contains the "Application Support" folder which in turn contains the "Address Book" folder.
On your new iMac, running Lion:
1)open Finder
2)select "Go" on the menu
3)with the "Go" window open, press and hold down the "Option" key on your keybord. Doing this will expose the hidden "Library" folder.
4) in the Library folder you will find "Application Support"
5) in the "Application Support" folder, you will find the "Address Book" folder
6) assuming you have the old "Address Book" folder from within the backed-up "Library Folder" from you old iMac, delete the "Address Book" folder on your new iMac and copy your old backed-up Address Book folder to the "Application Support" folder in its place.
7) Open the Address Book application and you should see your contact records.
I just finished doing this and it worked for me.
Cheers
