Images all mixed up

Please help,
My original images are stored on a server.  I had to alter the position of the files.  Aperture found some but not others.  I worked through most of the images using the "Locate Reference Files" command.  As I was on one of the last folders Aperture started mixing up the images in specific projects and turning some of the images black.  Suddenly a day in a West Wales Bay was mixed with breakfast on a narrow boat in the English Midlands and a morning in Hampton Court!  It then went backwards and did the same to two or three other Project Folders.
Before I start clumping around could anyone please help with how to make it good again?
Thank you in anticipation...........Allen

Try changing the Sort order from Added Order to Captured Time when in the Library module, either using the View / Sort menu item up top, or using the Toolbar along the bottom of the Grid view that you may need to make visible using the T key.
As far as sorting things quickly into relevant folders, what folder or folders on your hard-drive are the photos in, now, and do the folders already exist you want to move the photos to or will you be creating them?
The way I move photos from one folder to a set of folders I create, is to select the photos I want to move in the Grid view, then go over to the folder listing at the left and right-click on the folder than is above where I want to create a new folder, then choose Create Folder Inside "xxxxxxxx", type in a name and also make sure Include Selected Photos is enabled, and then click Ok.
If the destination folder already exists in the folder list at the left, then just right-click on that folder in the folder view at the left and choose the Move option.

  • Still images get mixed - Premiere elements 9

    I make a series of say 3 or 4 still jpg images as titles for my movie. All with identical background but with different text. When I drag them to the timeline the first one persists but the others in the sequence will not show when I play them in the preview window. This does not happen if the images are completley different. Renaming the files has no effect. What is happening?

    Bob,
    I understand what you mean about the appearance of movie clips in the timeline, I don’t think that is the problem. With every other video editor I have used if I drag a number of still images into the timeline they will all behave like separate clips for however longer I want them and they will each show up in the timeline and in the preview window as I scrub along. At the moment instead of a mini movie of 4 still images I get a movie of the first image in the line repeated for times. The other image files are named in the timelinebut cannot be viewed in the edit and they don’t appear in the saved movie I am doing something wrong somewhere.

  • What is the easiest way to sort photos within an album.  I have photos from a trip but they are all mixed up.  Photos from one part of the trip are showing up in other parts.  Please help.

    I have a MacBook Pro laptop and am trying to use iPhoto.  I uploaded pictures but they uploaded out of order.  Photos taken from different locations on my trip are all mixed up and I would like to sort them in chronological order.  Things I have tried have been time consuming and often take several attempts before the moved photo "takes" to its new location within the album.  If anyone can provide step by step instructions for this senior, it would be very much appreciated.  Thank you.

  • The album artwork on my iPod Classic is all mixed up. Wrong artwork on each song..

    Why does the album artwork on my iPod Classic get all mixed up wheres it is correct in the library. Please help

    Hello Derick,
    This usually happens as the result of a corrupt iPod artwork cache.  The only way to correct this is to restore your iPod to factory settings via iTunes.  Doing so will rebuild your iPod's artwork cache.  Not exactly sure as to how or why the corruption happened to begin with.

  • My library is all mixed up after downloading iTunes 7. Help!!

    I just downloaded iTunes7 and now my iTunes library is all mixed up. Some playlists are complete with a few extra songs. Most of my albums and playlists are so mixed up that I don't have a clue where to start looking for songs. It is making it almost impossible to use the program. Everything was working just fine today BEFORE I "upgraded". What can I do? Help!

    Maybe it's something related to your iTunes library files. Close iTunes, go to your iTunes music folder, copy the .itl and .xml files and make a copy of them anywhere you want, then delete them from your iTunes music folder. Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder in your iTunes music folder, copy the .itl file and paste it where the other .itl library file was (your iTunes music folder). Now, change its name like this: if it's called iTunes Library 09-12-06, rename it just "iTunes Library" (.itl). Hopefully that'll do the trick. Reopen iTunes and check everything is OK.

    Very many thanks to you, Putaro!  Your answer provided the solution. It was a buggy plug-in that turned out to be the culprit.
    You're off the hook, Apple, and my apologies for stating that you let a dog run loose. You skated by this time, Apple. But I'm watching you.
    But again, Putaro's reference to the plugins I had installed over the years turned out to illuminate the problem. I have several plugins in my iTunes plugins folder, pretty much all designed to add more visualizer functionality. I removed all of them, and ALL of the problems I noted in my post went away, with full iTunes functionality restored.
    I began adding the plugins back to hopefully single out the culprit. Among the ones I had been using included fielder, G-Force, Timestrech, volcanokit, QuartzComposer, and Jax. I hadn't used any of them in a while - probably at least a verison or more back in iTunes updates, but iTunes continued to work with all of them installed. Currently, only QuartzComposer continues to work in iTunes 10.4. The rest no longer even show up as visualizer opitons, with one exception. Jax does show up, but does not work. AND THE PRESENCE OF JAX IS WHAT KILLED MY ITUNES.
    I looked into it and went back to the developer, and it appears that they discontinued developing Jax some time ago - evidently, it was buggy and crash prone. I remember after buying it, having problems with it - having never worked to its touted potential, but I didn't pursue it, and never uninstalled it. Leaving it in there caused all iTunes functionality to cease with the iTunes 10.4 update.
    If you've got Jax installed, consider removing it before updating to iTunes 10.4.
    My iTunes is now working right as rain, thanks again to Putaro!

  • Masters and previews all mixed up

    Recently the wife has started organizing our large (over 73 gigs) iPhoto library and complained that many of the photos were displaying as small: thumbnail sized. Investigating, I opened the iPhoto Library and found that the contents of the Masters and Previews were quite jumbled. Using Spotlight I quickly discovered that for any given file there were at least 2 versions of each image, a full size (say 1.2MB or so) and a preview (60KB or so) but my Masters directory contains hundreds if not thousands of the little previews and there are lots of the full size images in Previews.
    It also seems that, among the confused images, all the full size images have the uppercase "JPG" extension and the previews are lowercase.
    I have tried repairing twice to no avail. I haven't rebuilt because I suspect it would compound the problem by making previews of my misplaced previews etc etc. I could easily use the Finder to search/sort by file type and size, save all the originals and start a new library, but I don't want to lose all the metadata, retouching, and so on. I suspect the problem started when migrating to new Macs from our old G5 and iPhoto 6. What's the best way out of this mess?

    Sounds like when you migrated you imported your old library into iPhtoo on your new system
    NEVER import an iPhoto library into iPhoto - it does not wrok and creates a massinve mess
    The only real solution is to go back and do it correctly - drag the bad library to the desktop and then Connect the two Macs together (network, firewire target mode, etc)  or use an external hard drive formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity from the old Mac to the pictures folder of the new Mac - launch iPhoto on the new mac and it will open the library and convert it as needed and you will be ready move forward.

  • Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Where does time machine store content that would be found in the Finder window under "All Images, All Movies, All Documents"? Also, I have many Garageband projects and mp3 files I can't find.

    Easiest way to find time machine files is to open up the folder or application(works for email and iphoto)  they were in - then click on time machine ICON or enter time machine from the time machine menu to go back through the files.

  • How can user return to main scene on a portion of an image that is 20 inches wide, rather than being sent to the first image all the time.

    I have a 24 inch wide image in the main scene, which is cut up into six smaller images, all clickable. When a user clicks on one of these smaller images they are taken to a second screen. However, when they click on the Go Back, they are always sent to the first image, not on the image that was clicked on. How can I get the Go Back to actually go back to the image clicked on?

    Actually, that's AS1 that you're using. You have an enterframe function running as code in the frame. In AS2 it might go something like this:
    stop();
    // you need two variables that exist outside of the functions...
    var tempX:Number;
    var diff:Number = 0;
    // this function will loop on frame one and control the movement of the large movieClip
    // I simplified the code from what you provided
    this.onEnterFrame = function() {
        if (_xmouse>750) {
            diff = (_xmouse-750)/2;
        if (_xmouse<50) {
            diff = (50-_xmouse)/2;
        if (_xmouse<=350 && main_text._x<=0) {
            main_text._x += diff;
        if (mouseX>=450 && main_text._x>=-1200) {
            main_text._x -= diff;
        if (main_text._x>=56) {
            main_text._x = 56;
        } else if (main_text._x<=-2300) {
            main_text._x = -2300;
    // when you click on the large movieClip, the current position is stored in a variable...
    main_text.onRelease = function() {
        tempX = main_text._x;
        gotoAndStop(3);
    // this is the for the button to return, it will position the large movieClip using the stored value from the variable...
    goBack.onRelease = function() {
        gotoAndStop(1);
        main_text._x = tempX;

  • Sync yahoo contact and got address all mixed up

    I just sync my yahoo contact to my iPhone and saw that I have lots of friends named AAA. Also, some addresses and phone numbers are all mixed up. It feels like someone just grabbed the addresses and swapped them. Can anyone tell me what's going on? What can I do to avoid this happening again? Much thanks.

    When the iphone is connected to the computer and itunes is open, click on edit at the top of itunes and choose preferences.
    When the preferences window opens, click on the iphone or syncing tab.
    Near the bottom there is a button to reset sync history.
    Click ok on the preferences window.
    Now go to the info tab in the iphone settings and scroll to the bottom.
    There is a check box in the advanced section to replace all contact data on the iphone.
    Check this box and click apply.
    This will replace any contact data on the iphone with a new copy.
    Hope this helps.

  • When I crop an image all I get is a 1" gray box!

    I used Photoshop Elements 4 for over 7 years with no problems.  I switched to Elements 11 in January and I'm having the same recurring problem.  Everything was going great with my cropping and now when I crop an image all I get is a 1" grayed out box.  Can anyone help me?  Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    It sounds like there might be some small values in the width, height or resolution boxes.
    With the Crop Tool selected and pressing on the Tool Options button at the bottom of the workspace, go over to the
    right side of the Tool Options and Reset the crop tool and see if that makes a difference.
