How to upgrade a Library on an external drive created in a previous version of aperture so I can re-import it from the external drive into Aperture 3.5.1 on my MBP ?

I have exported earlier Projects [which were created in Aperture 3.4.5] to an external hard drive. Now I wish to reimport them into Aperture 3.5.1 - which I use after having upgraded to Mavericks - but am given an error message saying I can’t reimport because the external drive is storing a Library created by an earlier version of Aperture than I’m using now. It tells me to upgrade that externally stored Library.
The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
Thank  you
Bob

The Question - one can only upgrade a Library on one’s computer, not on the external drive. How can I upgrade it if I can’t get it back into Aperture [3.5.1] on my MacBookPro in the first place ?
You can upgrade the library on the external drive. Connect your external drive to your computer.
Then select the library with the exported projects on the external drive and double-click it to open it in Aperture. This will upgrade the library to Aperture 3.5.1.  Since upgrading can sometimes be problematic, I recommend to make a backup copy of the library before you try to upgrade the library.
After that you should be able to merge the library into your main library using File > Import.

  • HT1338 If I have OS 7.5 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive in that OS when my macbook pro is 10.7?

    If I have OS 10.6 installed on an external drive, can I start up from the external drive if I have 10.7 installed on my macbook pro?

    Provided that the MBP supports booting from that version of 10.6, and the install was from a retail disk (not a different Mac model), then yes. If it's a newer Pro that came with Lion, it may not boot to 10.6.

    Save the file from Gmail onto your computer and add it to iTunes.  How you save from Gmail is a Gmail question (their own support pages), not an iTunes question.

  • How can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing model? plss help

    how can i import tables from a different schema into the existing relational model... to add these tables in the existing relational/logical model? plss help
    note; I already have the relational/logical model ready from one schema... and I need to add few more tables to this relational/logical model
    can I import the same way as I did previously??
    but even if I do the same how can I add it in the model?? as the logical model has already been engineered..
    please help ...
    thanks

    Hi,
    Before you start, you should probably take a backup copy of your design (the .dmd file and associated folder), in case the update does not work out as you had hoped.
    You need to use Import > Data Dictionary again, to start the Data Dictionary Import Wizard.
    In step 1 use a suitable database connection that can access the relevant table definitions.
    In step 2 select the schema (or schemas) to import.  The "Import to" field in the lower left part of the main panel allows you to select which existing Relational Model to import into (or to specify that a new Relational Model is to be created).
    In step 3 select the tables to import.  (Note that if there are an Foreign Key constraints between the new tables and any tables you had previously imported, you should also include the previous tables, otherwise the Foreign Key constraints will not be imported.)
    After the import itself has completed, the "Compare Models" dialog is displayed.  This shows the differences between the model being imported and the previous state of the model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Merge button should apply all the additions and changes in the new import.
    Having updated your Relational Model, you can then update your Logical Model.  To do this you repeat the "Engineer to Logical Model".  This displays the "Engineer to Logical Model" dialog, which shows the changes which will be applied to the Logical Model, and allows you to select which changes are to be applied.
    Just selecting the Engineer button should apply all the additions and changes.
    I hope this helps you achieve what you want.

  • I can't import photos from an external hard drive to aperture

    . Nothing shows up after I select the hard drive in aperture. I can however import photos to iPhoto with this same hard drive. Why is this happening. I have been importing from this hard drive to aperture for a long time now and only had this issue today. I have restarted computer, unplugged harddrive. Any thoughts?

    Don't touch that one !
    I was hoping that in addition to that there should be another device listed, namely the USB External HD you've got plugged into the USB port. It should show up something like this:

  • In LR3, can I import photos from an external drive without copying them?

    When I try to do this, the 'Add' button is greyed out so I'm assuming I can't. The only options are 'Copy as DNG' and 'Copy'.
    I want to leave them in their original location. Does anyone know of a way to do this?
    Thanks

    Yes, you can relocate your iPhoto library to an external drive and it will function exactly the same way it does on the boot drive as long as the external is mounted.
    It's easy to do. Simply use the Finder to copy the whole iPhoto library folder to the external. Do not open the folder or tamper with its contents. When copied, hold down the Option key while launching iPhoto. In the dialog box, click to choose an existing library, navigate to its new location. iPhoto will now use this as its default location until you tell it otherwise.
    P.S. How do you like this snow? Isn't it crazy?

  • How can you import pictures from the iphoto app to your mac book pro into iphoto on a mac book pro using mavericks?

    I've tried to look this up on the app, and it tells me to use the iTunes file sharing and I can see anything with this trying to use both. I'm trying to keep my pictures in chronological order. Does in know how I can use this? Any help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you!

    OK. This is two separate issues. To import pictures on your iPhone into your MBP, you can use iPhoto or the Image Capture app (in the Applications folder).
    To use iPhoto, connect your iPhone to your Mac with its USB cable & launch iPhoto. Your iPhone will be listed it in the "Devices" panel on the left. Choose it & you will get a window where you can import all or selected photos as either "split events" or as a single event. If you need help with this, try opening iPhoto's built-in help & selecting the "Import Photos" item. That will open the Import photos from iPhone or other mobile phone help topic. Expand the Import photos from iPhone section & study it. It should answer all your questions about this better than I can!
    To use the Image Capture app, you connect the iPhone & select it just like above. The app has several options for importing images, but what you may find useful if you do not want to import directly into iPhoto is that you can just drag any of the iPhone's displayed items onto the desktop or into a folder like you would any other file & they will be copied to that location.
    As for organization of items in iPhoto, there are four ways they can be grouped for display (by event, by photo, by face, & by place). All except by faces offers a "By date" sort choice in the iPhoto View > Sort Photos menu item.

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

  • How can I import pics from an android phone into Elements 10?

    I'm trying to import pictures from my Samsung Galaxy S III into Elements 10 (Windows 64) using a micro to USB cable.
    How do I do it?

    Hi Bobby, once you have connected your phone, it should show as a drive.
    Open PSE 10 Organizer and go to File >>Get Photos and Videos >>From Files and Folders
    There you can choose your phone drive and locate your folder that contain your images.

  • How can I import files from an external drive?

    Hello everyone,
    I have an external drive containing all the video files I want to make a DVD from,
    but when I open iDVD I am not able to select these files(as they are not in imoves / iphoto etc),
    how can I get to these files to import them to an iDVD project without copying them to my hard drive?
    thanks!

    Hi
    To little info to be able to answer.
    Movie file - in what format/codec ?
    Convert it into - StreamingDV .mov - then just drop it into iDVD Menu window (avoid active zoones).
    BUT - if movie is 30fps - then start the iDVD project as NTSC/29.97 fps or if 25fps then let iDVD do a PAL (25fps) project.
    Forcing iDVD to convert "works" - BUT result is from BAD to Worse !
    I use JES_Deinterlacer to convert fps PAL/NTSC - as it does this very good and is free on internet.

  • I moved all my photos to my external drive. I then deleted my iphoto library and re-imported them from the external. Once iphoto created it's folder structure on my external, I deleted mine. Now my computer just "beach balls" all day when I turn it on.

    i have a 2006 iMac with a 160 HD and 1GB of ram. I recently got a 2TB external hard drive and transfered all my pictures to that. Once I had a solid folder structure for my photos, I dragged them all to iPhoto. Once iPhoto had created its own folder structure of my photos, I deleted my own folder structure, so that I wouldn't have multiple copies. It all sounded like a great plan, but now my computer just "beach balls" every time I turn it on.

    What does this have to do with iPhoto? If you're computer isn't starting up properly I'd be posting on the OS forum for whatever version of the OS you have.

  • IPhoto 11 - How can I import photos from my hard drive keeping the folders the way they are?

    I recently went from PC to Mac.  I transferred thousands of photos, many of which I had in albums.  When I imported them into iPhotos, it didn't seem to preserve my albums, unless I'm not seeing something.  Is there a way to do that?

    To begin with we only have words to communicate with on this forum so it is critical that we use the same ones
    in iPhoto you have a library which can be views as events, photos, places or faces  --  events and photos view show all photo in your library and faces and places show only thos that have faces or places assigned
    albums are logical entities that are pointers to the photos in the library and are used for organization
    folders are logical entities that hold albums or other folders and also are used for organization
    The photos (by default and recommended) are copies into th eiPhoto library with is a SQL database. you ony access the photos using the iPhoto program or the media browser which is in the lower left hand corner of each open/attach/upload window
    If you drag a folder of photos onto the open iPhoto window it will import them and create an event names the same as the folder  if you drag the foldr of photos to the source pane on the left it will import them into an event and create an album
    The biggest problem most windows users have is thinking of managing their photo with a database rather than the old way of managing files with  a file manager
    iPhoto is much more powerful since you can serach the database on any criteria
    Hope this helps
    It also would be helpful to watch the iPhoto tutorials under getting started - http://www.apple.com/support/iphoto/

  • How can I import photos from a Nikon P520 into I photo 11

    I have previously hooked the camera up to a powered USB , turned the camera on and it opened I photo 11.  I was able to import and edit the photos in I photo.  I tried this process now and I do not get I photo to open, the camera does not appear in the connect column and I cant import any pictures.  I can still edit those did a week ago No settings on the camera or machine have changed.

    Launch Image Capture and then connect the camera to to your Mac.  Check to see if the camera is recognized by Image Capture.  If it is upload the photos to a folder on the Desktop.  Then reformat the memory card with the camera (not the Mac), take some test shots and try it with iPhoto again.
