I have just imported Iphoto library into aperture library, can I delete now the Iphoto Library ?

Hi, I have juste imported Iphoto library into Aperture Library (did a copy) - can I delete my Iphoto library as I won't use Iphoto anymore ?
Thanks Hélème

Helene,
Both of those things you pointed out are mere *metadata*.
When you imported your iPhoto library, since you did a copy, your libraries are completely independent. 
When I was in your situation, I moved my iPhoto library to an external disk and then went to the Aperture library to see how it behaved, even though i was 99.99% sure my iPhoto and Aperture libraries were separate.

  • Just imported a CD into my iTunes...but now there's no album cover?

    How do I get the album cover back?

    Back?
    If you've just imported the album, from CD, it wasn't there previously. Or was the music previously imported onto your computer by another programme? If so, what format is the music in?
    Reagardless of the above, to put the album artwork into an album, simply Google the album (or look on somewhere like Amazon) and copy and paste it into the album. In Albums View, select the album and then choose either:
    File/Get Info/Info
    Right-click, Get Info/Info
    the tiny rectangle icon in the top left of iTunes window, Get Info/Info
    and on the Info panel is the artwork box.

  • I am moving all my iphoto pictures to seperate folders outside of iphoto.  I have found iphoto slighlty cumbersome.  After I move all pictures from iphoto to a separate file how can I delete all the iphoto photos without deleting the ones in the file?

    I am moving all of my iphoto pictures into seperate folders becuase iphoto is great, but a bit cumbersome when I need to transfer all the pictures to a external drive.
    1) After I move all pictures, how can I delete the iphoto pictures without destroying the ones I have in files
    2) how can I ensure that I have sucessfully captures all the iphoto files so when I delelte from iphoto I have not forgotten any
    3) is there a way to determine what duplicate pictures I have?
    Thanks!

    If you Control click on the iPhoto Library, you'll see a list of folders - one named "Masters". Inside of this folder are all of your original, high-res photos. You can copy them to other folders if you like.
    You can't delete iPhoto pics without deleting the ones in the iPhoto Library.
    You can copy all of your Masters pics out of the Library, ensuring that you won't forget any.
    I don't know of anyway to determine if there are duplicate photos - most (if not all) have a unique name assigned.
    Good luck,

  • Creating a new library for backing up, can I delete my old iTunes Library?

    Hey there I was wondering this, I am creating a new folder for my library because the old one had a lot of music I decided to delete. My question is can I delete the old Library or would that prevent me from being able to use iTunes?
    Thank you to anyone that helps
    Message was edited by: WhalesEatWorms

    Either way. If you want to delete the current library and start a new one with the new songs, you can. If you'd prefer to add the new songs to the existing library, and then delete the current songs, you can do that too.
    As long as you don't delete the songs that you want, you will be able to use iTunes.

  • What files can I delete from the hidden "Library" folder which is in my account folder?

    I'm running out of space on Macintosh HD so I started moving things to my other computer (desktop so more storage). There should only be about 165 GB used out of 750 GB capacity however there is 459 GB used. So, I thought, where's all the space gone? Through using Finder's "Get Info" feature I tracked the 459 GB to Macintosh HD/Users/jacobhouse but in jacobhouse (my account's folder) I've stripped everything to a bare minimum. Amounts of storage used is as follows:
    jacobhouse: 409.6 GB (other 50ish thats being used is applications)
      Desktop: 142 KB
      Documents: 500.1 MB
      Downloads: 1.55 GB
      Movies: 14.96 GB
      Music: 19.02 GB
      Pictures: 75.67 GB
      Public: 44.4 MB
    This adds up to approximately 111 GB if I'm correct in converting KB/MB to GB. Still I haven't managed to find the culprit until I tried showing hidden folders. When I told Finder to show all hidden folders and I sorted them by size, I found one named Library which was 409.6 GB.
    As you can see by the Where in the screenshot above, this Library folder is not the one directly in Macintosh HD but rather it is in a User folder. My question now is which of the files in this Library folder am I able to delete to free up space? (contents of Library are below)
    Thank you in advance for any help you may be able to provide.

  • Failure to import iPhoto library into Aperture 3

    I am trying out a trial version of Aperture 3. When I tried to import my iPhoto Library into Aperture (and into the Aperture folder) I get an error message saying that it cannot import iPhoto libraries if they are in a version of iPhoto that is older than 7.1.5.
    I have a brand new computer and I have the most recent version of iPhoto so what is this all about?
    LD

    Keep in mind you need to select the iphoto library. To make sure you have selected it should be highlighted in gray.
    You may run into additional trouble importing if the library is large. Here is the thread with a crude resolution.

  • Importing iphoto library into Aperture 3 creates duplicate events

    I am so hoping you can help me here.
    I started importing my iphoto library that was going well to a point it stopped importing. Looking at Aperture i can see project folders that coincide with the iphoto events but not all of them came across, still not a problem. I choose  to import the iphoto library again checked the box to not import duplicates, now the problem, it starts downloading the same library and the same events.
    ABOUT TO PULL MY HAIR OUT, HELP IF YOU CAN

    Your iPhoto Library may need rebuilding. If you have iPhoto '11 try the following:
    First back up your iPhoto Library.
    Then lauch iPhoto in "Rebuild" mode by holding down the command and option (or alt) keys when launching iPhoto.
    From the "rebuild" panel choose: Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    Then try again to import into Aperture.
    Delete the previous iPhoto imports before you try that, for the "Do not import Duplicates" option does not work recently.
    Report back, if this should not work for you.

  • I have imported my I photo library into Aperture.  all the old i photo events are now in the aperture library showing number of photos but when clicked none display.  I can see the photos if i run the cursor over the project.  Help please.

    I imported my i photo library into aperture.
    I can see the i photo events in aperture library as events with the number of photos in each event.
    When you click events in the aperture library no photos appear although if you roll the cursor over the event icon it show the photos.  If you click on the event either on the event icon or in the library no photos appear.
    Help

    Check, if you have any filters set. The search fields in the Insector panel and the browser should be showing "All items" or "Showing All".
    The Browser search field could be set for each project and album individually, so you have to check it for each project.
    Regards
    Léonie
    For example: The projects count shows "20 items", but the browser is empty, because the project's filter is set to show only rejected items.

  • Error Message (Arrow and Exclaimation Mark in Yellow Triangle) Showing on Bottom Right of Some Photos after Merging iPhoto Library into Aperture

    The strange thing is that some of these said photos with an error message have a normal thumbnail and can be opened fine, but the others (most of them) just have an empty space in the thumbnail as if the image can't be found.
    I tried to Locate Referenced Files as Leonie suggested in https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3686982?tstart=0 but got this message 'The Selection Doesn't Have Any Referenced Files', so i presume that's not the issue.
    In the thread mentioned above, Leonie mentioned something about not emptying trash. I did empty my trash recently, and started to think these images may have been poor quality ones i previously deleted in the iPhoto library … but that still doesn't explain why the error currently appears on some images which seem to work fine (these images are ok quality ones and there is no way i would have deleted them in the past).
    Also - the 'Processing' message at the bottom of the browser seems to be spinning endlessly. I just left it for over 10 hours overnight and it's still going. Could this be linked to these error images which it's having a hard time finding/loading?
    Quite baffled at the moment, and would really appreciate any feedback. TIA.
    EDIT:
    I just looked more closely. It appears that most of my folders have duplicates of the same image with exactly the same file name. And all the images with the error message have them on both duplicates (i.e. one on an image that has an empty thumbnail, and one on an image that's fine).
    When i initially tried to import the library, it proceeded half way then failed. After opening the iPhoto library in Aperture first, and then doing the import again, everything worked fine. So, i'm wondering if the images with errors that are empty/blank may be the result of the failed 1st import.
    What's puzzling is why they weren't overwritten (especially since all the file names are exactly the same). When importing the library, i chose 'merge' instead of 'add' when prompted, thinking that would solve it. Obviously not.
    EDIT 2:
    After reflecting on this, i thought one solution may be to:
    a) Find all the error'd images that are empty/blank and delete them, and then
    b) Find and remove all duplicates
    So i followed Leonie's suggestion to create a Smart Album and use the 'File Status is Missing' rule.
    But now, i see that there are images that i imported into Aperture months ago that have the same problem. And the new thing is that there are duplicates with errors where *both* images are visible (whereas for the iPhoto library i just imported, there were dupes where one version was blank and the other was visible and seemingly ok).
    I'm really hoping there is a simple solution to this, and am awaiting some feedback before i try anything else.
    NB. This is a super large (over 100GB) Aperture library that i am trying to consolidate everything into. It is Work In Progress and i was only going to back it up once the import of various iPhoto libraries was done. However, I'm wondering if it's better to just back up first - but if i do it now, the backup will include all these errors and duplicates. What would you guys do?

    UPDATE 2:
    The users in these 2 threads seem to have a similar File Status Not Found issue:
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4086569?tstart=0
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/17757686#17757686
    Followed Leonie's advice to look for the (missing) masters inside the Masters folder, and indeed, they were missing. So, that confirms the reason for the error message.
    If this does not work, because you have managed originals, inside the Aperture Library, look for your originals in the Aperture Library Package. Select the Library in the Finder and ctrl-click, then select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up. In the Finder window that opens, navigate to the folder "Masters". Your missing images should be inside; the folder is structured by date of import.
    Of course, the question is - why the masters for these few images are missing, when the other images in the same project that were imported/merged at the same time are fine.
    Trying to do the library import/merge from iPhoto into Aperture again. Fingers crossed. Will report back on the result.

  • I have Iphoto library in Aperture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging?

    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.  I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two.  I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.

    Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
    Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
    Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
    Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture?  And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library"  in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
    Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.
    Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the aperture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.
    You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted.  (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
      I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
    There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
    You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
    File > New > Smart album:
    Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
    For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
    To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.

  • HT201340 Merging iPhoto library into Aperture - what really happens?

    If I merge my iPhoto library into Aperture does it mean I will have all my photos showing as projects in aperture the same as events in iPhoto? I only want to bring in my professional photos from different events in iPhoto and put them into projects to create a themed workflow and edit these in Aperture. I do not want iPhoto and Aperture to be the same.
    I am extra new to the Mac invironment.
    Thankyou

    Open your iPhoto library with Aperture. Select the events you want combined with your Aperture library and select File->Export Projects as library. This will create a new Aperture library with just those events. Then reopen your normal Aperture library and File->Import library and select the new library you just created.
    Once you import this library, you can delete the separate library if you want.

  • IPhoto library into Aperture 3

    I am currently importing my iPhoto 9 library into Aperture 3. When I pressed import, i was told it would take up 75gb of disc space, so I assume it is creating a duplicate of my iPhoto library.
    So, I dont really want the two libraries, so can I delete ( or rather move to an external hard drive the original iphoto library?
    Will I lose any data or does Aperture create a whole new library?
    Allan

    Allan,
    When you import the default will probably be to store the photos in Aperture's library. This will make a copy of your photos and is called "Managed masters" in Aperture. As long as this what happens when you import, you will then definitely have 2 of each photo that you imported. It's not going to duplicate your iPhoto library per se (the library is a database that contains all the pictures and other goodies). Rather, it will copy each photo from your iPhoto library into a new library (the Aperture one).
    You can also have Aperture use "Referenced" masters, by doing what gordonbmac indicated. In this case, Aperture does not manage the location of your masters. They will be wherever iPhoto has them. This may or may not be good depending on what you are going to do with your iPhoto library after. I.e., if you play with iPhoto and rearrange things, Aperture doesn't know that you moved the masters that it points to. It may mean that you will have to keep your iPhoto library around because Aperture is pointing to photos in it.
    Your plan to move the iPhoto library to an external hard drive is exactly what I did when I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture. I kept it around for quite a while until I was satisfied that I didn't accidentally leave something in there that I didn't import into Aperture.

  • Importing iPhoto Books into Aperture

    How do I get the books I've created in IPhoto into Aperture?

    Short answer is you can't.
    When you import your iPhoto library into Aperture any books in iPhoto will be turned into an Album with all the pictures that were in the iPhoto books filmstrip view. You'll have to recreate the book in Aperture's book tool.

  • How do I import images created in earlier versions of Aperture and saved to DVD as an Aperture library into Aperture 3.2.1?

    When I insert the DVD into my MacPro the disk appears as though it is blank, with the little 'burn' icon in the top right
    When I insert the DVD into my macbook it shows the full Aperture library structure and when I allow file sharing between the machines the MacPro can also recognises the files
    I suspect I am making a basic error somewhere as the images are clearly all there.  This doesnt just occur for one DVD, I have dozens that are all perfroming in the same way when I try to import files created in an earlier version of Aperture back into the version I am now using, 3.2.1
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated
    Reiss.

    To get the old library into Aperture it will need to be upgrade. To do this you will need to copy the library off the DVD onto our HD and then open Aperture on this library. Aperture should then upgrade the library to the latest version.
