I can read NEF and RAW photos in iPhoto but not Aperature. What's up ?

How do I read and print NEF and RAW files ? Aperature is saying that the file format is incorrect but iPhoto reads them fine.

What is your Aperture version, Mac OS X Version, and your camera model?
The raw support is specific for each camara, and it will depend on you Aperture version, if the raw support is available.
See this list for the raw formats, that are supported in Aperture.
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
Is your iPhoto version newer than your Aperture version? If both versions are current, they should be able to read the same raw formats.

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere without it changing into a jpg?

How can I export a RAW photo from iphoto to anywhere (PSE, or desktop) without it changing into a jpg???

See if any of this info will help:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
Click to view full size
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done. 3 - however, if you get the navigation window
Click to view full size
that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 9 the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
Click to view full size
I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always. In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
Click to view full size
NOTE: If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds.

How can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

how can i save my importing photos in iPhoto but edit in photoshop elements 11?

You have two options:
1. Set PSE as your external editor for iphoto and send the photos from iphoto. Save (not Save As) without changing the name or format and iPhoto will remember the original + the last edited version. (To get back to the original you will have to lose the edits, though.)
2. Export the photos from iphoto, work on the copies, make all the changes you want to name and format and then reimport the edited versions to iphoto as new files. This lets you save as many different versions as you like.

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all

I take a .NEF file and a .JPG file with every click. When I transfer the files using a flash drive to another computer I never get all of the files to transfer. I get some of the .NEF and some of the .JPGs but not all. How come?

If you're exporting a project then you'll only get the images in that project. Also if any of the masters are referenced then you won't get those masters unless you check Consolidate masters into exported library
It might be best if you started from the beginning and explained what it is your are trying to do and how you're going about doing it. Also a description of you're hardware/software setup would be helpful.

When using time machine with external hardrive to backup, some music items from iTunes and some photos from iPhoto do not transfer to backup hardrive. What am I ding wrong? Using latest version of mountain lion.

When I use time machine with my external harddrive to back up computer, some music from iTunes library, and some photos from iPhoto library are missing when I check backup disk. I am using latest version of mountain lion. Am I doing something wrong?

First, Time Machine doesn't completely back up the iPhoto library while iPhoto is running. Make sure you quit iPhoto after making any changes to allow a backup to take place.
This simple procedure will clear your Time Machine settings, including both overt and hidden exclusions. If you have a long exclusion list that can't be recreated easily, you may prefer a more complicated procedure that preserves the exclusion list. In that case, ask for instructions. Otherwise, do as follows.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a file selected. Copy it to the Desktop. Then move it (the original, not the copy) to the Trash. You'll be prompted for your administrator password. Reboot, recreate your settings in the Time Machine preference pane, and run a backup to test. If TM now performs as expected, delete the file you copied to the Desktop.

Can't drag and drop photos in iphoto version 6.0.5

for some reason iphoto won't let me drag and drop photos into albums. i tried restarting, checking fonts etc but it still won't work. can anyone help? it used to work fine

miss sho
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
What do you mean by 'checking fonts etc.'
The usual cause for this issue is that the Helvetica font is unavailable. The usual cure is to make sure it's enabled with Font Book - sometimes it's necessary to disable it and then re-enable it.
Other than that, you're not trying to drag into a Smart Album, are you?
If none of the above apply, go for the troubleshooting basics:
1. Repair Permissions using Disk Utility
2. Delete the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to reset your User options afterwards.
3. Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts) and create a new library there. Import a few pics and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Can't drag and drop photos from iphoto to desktop or anywhere!

I used to be able to drag and drop photos out of iPhoto, it would usually show me a green plus. But now, when I tried to drag and drop my photos out of iPhoto, it would not allow me to and give me a white circle with a slash in it. I am a photographer, so I really need to do this desperately. I was going to copy it onto a new folder on my desktop then transfer it into my hard drive. I can't even get it to go on the folder on my desktop. I did a little research and found out that the white slash is telling me I have no permission to do that, but why? How can I make myself have permission like before?
Please help!
Thanks!

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

HT4059 why can you browse, and buys books from itunes but not read them on my iMac? Pretty lame I think. my kindle show up across all my computers, iPhones and Android devices no problem.

just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. My kindle apps work on the imac, ipod, asus netbook, iphone and android devices. Why not ibooks on imac?

"just wondering why you can browse, buy on itunes but not read on an imac. "
Because Apple does not make an ibook reader for computers.

I have downloaded RAW photos into IPhoto but they show up as JPEG, please help

Why do my RAW photos show up as JPEG when I download to IPhoto 11?

Betty,
do you have a camera with supported raw format? What is your MacOS X version?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5371
And where exactly do you see your raw files as jpeg? When exporting? After editing?

How do i save photos in iphoto but not in photo stream

When I take photos with my iphone, it saves a random number to the photo stream. For instance, if I take 5 photos, they all go to the photo stream on my iphone, but on my Mini, one might appear, or more, it is seemingly random. I want to save them all to my hard drive on my Mac mini. Deleting them from photo stream deletes them permanently, from everywhere. Sometimes it saves the random number to an event in iphoto, sometimes not. When it does this, deleting them from the photo stream may or may not delete them from the event. Again, it appears random. I want to save photos, and have access to them, without keeping everything in photo stream. How do I do this?
The problem is that saving seems to be completely random. I have vacation photos that I don't want to lose.

They should all be in the Photo Stream. Sometimes it taks a while for the PS to refresh itself. In your iPhoto library set the Photo Stream preferences to
This will automatically import any photo added to the Photo Stream into your iPhoto Library.
If waiting for a while for the PS to refresh itse'f doesn't show all of the photos taken the try the following:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.
Rebooting your iPhone can also help.

Photos in iPhoto but not Finder???

I've spent hours looking for photos in Finder to no avail... What the ****?

There are some of my photos in the pictures folder, the path being "my name" > pictures > date > image...
but on 1/31/10 the path changed to "my name" > pictures > iphoto library > originals > year > date > image...
That would be if you imported them into iPhoto - t copies the imported photos to the originals folder in the iphoto library - it does not delete (or otherwise change) the source photo - it just copies it
I can only see all of them by searching .jpg in Finder...
You do not see them in the iPhoto window when you are using iPhoto?
I'm trying to evaluate Lightroom & Aperture and can't even get them moved over since the ones I want to experiment with are recent photos...
Aperture can import directly from the iPhoto library - for Lightroom select the photos in iPhoto and export them then import them into Lightroom

I couldn't drag my photos from iphoto to my desktop or folder so I rebuilt from automatic backup and some photos were saved but not the photos that I need. what do i do?

I have a macbook pro and I updated iphoto to the latest version, last night.

Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?
