How to "reset" for Aperture pictures to transfer to Photostream

Usually it works fine to drag a set of pictures from Aperture to Photostream and the pictures shows up on iPad and iPhone.
bu I had about 800 picture that I wanted to get to photostream... about 650 made and the the 1000 limit was hit. So after using iPhoto on iPad to make a journal I removed all the picture and drage the remaining 150 to Photstream in Aprerture.... but they do not transfer!
Have now tried this several tie and none of the 150 pictures transfer to photostream which is now at about 200 pictures. Other pictures transfer fine to Photostream.
How do i "reset" the photostream? so I can get these pictures transferd?

Well, Thomas, Photostream has worked, but not consistently, nor predictably. Ironically, when I'm taking snaps of no consequence, they invariably show up in Photostream in Aperture. Last night, the set of progress photos for my container garden, which I wanted to share with my interest group on Facebook, never did show up in Photostream on the computer. I had to email them from my phone, save them to the desktop, etc.
I've now deleted all the photos in Photostream from the phone and will, after I've verified that I have copies of images I need, delete all the images from Photostream in Aperture. Done all the routines (restarting devices, etc.). While I normally wouldn't take issue with your comment, I need to point out that there are a lot of complaints of exactly this behaviour here - and of the millions that use the technology, what proportion would either know to, or take the time to, report it in this forum? Based on decades of using software from Apple and others, in my opinion, Photostream needs work.

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library?

How can I export aperture pictures to a new library? I wan to create a new aperture library at an exernal drive so that I can reduce the size of the current library in the internal drive. Thank you for letting me know.

"File➞Export➞ ... as new Library " will create a new Library from the selection.
The preferred method for making the Library on your system drive smaller is to change some of the Image's Originals from Managed (= stored inside the Library) to Referenced (= stored outside the Library, often on external drives). There are so many advantages to this that it can be recommended without question. Unless you have specific reasons for splitting your Library into two Libraries (security concerns are one of the very few reasons), you should keep your Library on your system drive with some Image's Originals Managed, and the rest Referenced to an external drive.
Read up about these options in the User Manual (scroll down).

How does upgrade for aperture work if use the trial to download?

I have a new macbook pro. I have installed my Aperture 2.X on it. Can I download the trial and when I purchase get the "upgrade" price? If so, how does that work. Do I type in my 2.x serial number at some point?
Or, if I purchase the Aperture disk, how does the upgrade work then?

In either case, with AP 2.x installed, the AP 3 upgrade installer should see that and only require entry of the upgrade serial number.
If doing a clean install with AP 2 not installed, you enter the AP 3 upgrade serial number and will get a second serial number field pop-up asking for a full version serial number (you would enter the AP 2 serial number at this point).
Assuming nothing is amiss with your system, that should do it.

Resets for new fuser and transfer units

We have an HP laserjet 4500N on which I changed the transfer unit, the fuser and the drum. After I turned the printer back on, it showed only the drum life to have been reset to 100%, the fuser and transfer units stayed at the 54% and 35% values that were on before the change. I tried to go to the Resets Menu to reset these two values to 100% but the only options I get are Reset Memory or Reset Factory Settings. How can I do correct this?
Thanks

How can you stop a picture from going to Photostream?

Hi,
Please pardon the delicate nature of this question..it is not meant to be salacious.
However, I cannot figure out WHY anyone would use photostream. Like any number of normal people, my IOS device might ocassionally take pictures that I do not want to be uploaded to photostream, and certainly NOT shared with other family devices.
As I understand it, If I have Photostream enabled, any time I take a picture with my IOS device, I have NO WAY to stop it from going immediately to photostream or being synced on other computers or IOS devices?!?
Given this beheavior, and my understandign of how it works, why would anyone ever sync their photos to Photostream?
Aren't there a LOT of instances where you might be using your phone to take pictures that you do not want shared with family devices?
For example, I use my iPhone for research in stores...I see a gift idea, I take a quick picture. Now I have the price, the name of the item, where I found it, and all that great info. I do this ALL THE TIME. However, I certanly wouldn't want my gift research to get synced with my home mac, where someone might see it and ruin a surprise.
I have not yet enabled Photostream because there doesn't seem to be any way I have read about to Stop a photo from being shared, other than to simply never use the service.
IS there a workaround?

What you probably need to remember is that the iCloud account is intended to be a personal account not one that is shared between all devices belonging to the same family.
If you have no use for photo stream at all, then I suggest you do as you do now, and keep it turned off all of the time. If however you have occasional uses for it, photos taken on your device will only sync with photo stream when photo stream is turned on, so you'll have the ability to take photos without them being synced to all your devices, if you wish to do so.

If you want just the originals, then you can go into the Aperture library (right click on it and do "show package contents"). Inside is a directory called "Masters" and you can find the original files in a bunch of subfolders.
But... you'll lose all adjustments, keywords, and other information, and just have the files as they were imported originally from the cameras.
Easiest is probably to buy Aperture and update everything, and then migrate to the Photos application down the road if that's what you want. Aperture 3.0 came out in 2010 (five years ago!) so it's not like you've upgraded in a while

The digitization of data has introduced a complexity to our interactions with it that we continue to struggle with. "Picture" and "Photo" now mean different things in different contexts. In this case (and in general) defining our terms clearly is the first step towards understanding what we are trying to do. Understanding is the path that allows us to do it.
All pedantic, but please stick with me here .
You record a set of instantaneous data with a camera.
That data is processed by your camera and saved to a file.
The file format is usually either RAW or JPG.
You transfer those files to your computer, and you import them into the program Aperture (often in one operation).
From each camera-file imported, Aperture creates a record in its database (called, imho unhelpfully, a Library) and an Image that you see in the Aperture Browser and Viewer.
Aperture links the Image and the imported file.
The imported file is called, within Aperture, an Original.
Every Image has an Original.
The Image is not the Original. The Image is what you see in Aperture.
The Original is a file that is stored on your computer.
You can make changes to an Image.
Aperture calls these changes Adjustments.
Adjustments are saved to another file attached to the record in the database. Let's call this file the Changes File.
Aperture uses these two files attached to the record in the database to create the Image.
Image = Original + Changes File.
The Image is not a file.
Because the Image is not a file, it cannot be shared with other programs. It exists only inside of Aperture.
In order to share an Image with another program, you must first create a file of the Image.
You do this by exporting Images ("File ▹ Export ▹ Version" is the command in Aperture; should be, imho, "File ▹ Export ▹ Image").
You may ask, "Why all the complexity? Why doesn't Aperture save Images as files?" The answer is simple: Images can require less — and in many cases very very much less — storage space than files of Images. Rather than save a full-size file for every Image, Aperture saves only instructions on how to make that full-size file. The gain in storage efficiency is huge. The trade-off is that although your Images are always available to be made into share-able files, you must create those files when needed (which you do by exporting selected Images).
Here is your question reworded with more precise terms:

No, there is not. Images exist only in Aperture, and are not accessible for use in other programs. You must create, for each Image in your Aperture Library, a new file outside of your Aperture Library in order to use it with another program.
Aperture does allow you to create and save within your Library share-able files of your Images. These files are called Previews. You specify the file parameters in Aperture Preferences on the Previews tab. These files are available to other programs via the OS X Media Browser. These files are what you get when you drag selected Images out of the Aperture program and drop them on another program or on your desktop (which is part of the Finder).

HT4007 How to I find my serial number for Aperture 3. Just moved it to a new imac.

I purchased Aperture 3 from the Apple App Store in 2010 and downloaded it. I received an activation key but no serial number.
Now I have transferred Aperture 3 to a new imac but it asked for a serial number. I put the activation number in but is says it is invalid.
I have tried to find my answer via Apple Support but can't find personal support for aperture.
Can anyone here help me?

And how did you transfer? What installer did you use? Not a download from the App Store?
Reinstall using the Trial version installer, if your activation key comes with the Trial version.

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures.Is it ok if i create a vault and delete all my projects in the HD.Can I use an external HD use aperture through the vault??

I wonder how pro photographers use aperture?I shoot raw and my harddrive is alreay full.I'm not able to import new pictures. I don't know what to do. I created a vault. My plan was to create a vault(put all my master files into an external harddrive) and then delete all my projects in my mac pro's harddrive. Is it the correct way to do it ? What should I do if I have thousands of raw files ? How should my workflow be? Can I use an external HD and use aperture through the vault,without keeping the master files on my computer's hard drive?? Or should I shoot raw+jpeg and store raw files in an external backup harddrive and import only jpegs into my aperture library?

There's a bit to learn. It will slowly make sense.
Aperture is an empty field. You're given a tractor and a whole bunch of attachments. What you grow, how, and where, is entirely up to you.
Vaults are for back-up and only for back-up. They have nothing to do with storing your working files.
When your Library outgrows your system drive (and for good performance, you should leave c. 20% of every drive empty), it's time to convert some of your image's Masters from Managed to Referenced. ("Managed" and "Referenced" refer to Masters, not to Libraries.)
There are hundreds of posts in the forum, and several pages in the User Manual on using Masters.
Many people run Aperture with the Library on their system disk, and most (or all) of their images' Masters on external FW drives. This is a good set-up. Note that you will likely have to take steps to back-up the data on your external drives.
If you do the above, there should be no reason to delete any Projects.
The choice of RAW or RAW+JPEG or JPEG depends on the kind of work you are doing. I capture RAW only -- but I don't do any commercial shoots. Pros on deadlines report that the RAW+JPEG works well for them. Capture JPEG if it saves you time. IMHO, there is not a good reason to shoot JPEG to save space (space is cheap; time expensive).
Short-term solution: buy and use a FW800 external 1 TB drive, formatted "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)", and using Aperture relocate the Masters of all images older than 30 days to that drive. (Be sure to change your back-up strategy to include this new drive; you may need a second new drive.)
This general post of mine might help you understand more about Aperture.

A similar thing happened when I updated the ios on my ipad. But, I was able to reboot, and then restore from backup.   How can I get my ipod to reboot and allow restore when it is not even recognized as I reconnect to my computer?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

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

How to reset iTunes backup configuration for iPad and iPhone?

After buying a new Mac, I migrated my settings (because there were w a lot of apps) and generally everything's working. Except when I try to sync my iPad or iPhone, I get the following error:
iTunes could not backup the (device) ... because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPad
A few notes
It does work with a new account, just not this one, so there's some setting somewhere that probably needs to go
I did repair disk permissions
I tried to reset preferences via mv *iTunes* to a backup folder in <user>/Library/Preferences
There are no backups on this machine (if you go to iTunes / Settings / Devices the "device backups" list is empty)
It still feels like something is pointing somewhere invalid, but I have no idea how to reset it.

The problem turned out to be a symlink to a folder that pointed nowhere where the backups were stored.
I seriously doubt many people are going to run into this issue, but hey, there you go, another thing to watch out for are symlinks if you transfer your settings to a new machine.
The reason before was that I was clearing out space on a SSD, and backups took up enough room.

How can i have aperture restart loading pictures from my camera. 2 weeks ago aperture was perfect. thursday aperture stopped loading new pics from the same camera. have done library rebuilds and permissions to no avail. about to trash aperture.

How can I get aperture to restart loading pictures from my camera? 2 weeks ago; my camera (nikon D60) and aperture worked well together. last saturtday Aperture would not upload some new photos taken that day. I recieved an error message stating the photo files were not uploaded. The apple store staff was no help at all this time( they usually are very good) should i delete/trash the app and start over?

A bit confusing if the import window never opens, yet you receive a message that states the photos were not imported. Maybe being a little more step by step will help us figure this out:
You plug your camera into your computer using a USB cable.
Either Aperture is already open, or it opens automatically when you plug the camera in, or you open Aperture.
You click on the Import button? But the import window doesn't open?
This is where it is getting hazy for me. I'm assuming either the import window opens automatically or you click the import button. Either way you say that Aperture indicates that your camera is present and again, I'll have to assume you mean that it is present in the import window...
Do the thumbnails from the camera appear? Are you able to check the images you would like to import? When you click the import button is when you receive the message that Aperture did not import the images?
Let us know what is going on so we can get a better understanding. Thanks.
Thank's for the respones. Found out that Aperture runs great on at least 2 gig of ram. Just installed 4 gig. All of my issues have vanished. Moving on the the next day.

How can I view my pictures that were backed up to iTunes? I no longer have an apple product but need to view the pictures for very important reasons.

If you mean backed up as part of an iPhone backup in iTunes? If so, you would have to use 3rd party software to extract them from the backup, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.
