Images deleted after export (Aperture 3.4)

Exported my newly imported images using the Export Originals function in Aperture. After that, all exported images were gone from the file system (previews still showing in Aperture but the refernced files are gone, also not in the Trash, but "fully gone").

One more question - I forgot: What is your current Aperture version? Have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4? Then you may need to reinstall Aperture - see this support article:
Aperture 3.4: May quit unexpectedly on launch after updating
Not to mention that Aperture crashed in the meantime, then claimed the library is locked, I had to reboot and then to wait 30 mins for the library to be fixed as it was corrupted...
After a crash Aperture will repair the library, but it may be necessary to rebuild it is well, see: Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
Looked for the images with Spotlight
Did you search the entire mac from the Finder?
In the Finder, choose File > Find or press Command (⌘)-F.

  • Unsupported image format after merging aperture libraries

    I've experienced a large number of files with 'unsupported image format' after merging aperture libraries from separate external hard drives.  I did not have this problem in either library prior to merging them.  Can anyone advise how to rectify this issue?  Thanks

    Try running  library repair on the merged library and see if that helps.
    To run the repair open Aperture while holding the option and command keys down. Select Repair from the menu.
    Post back if you still have the problem.

  • Images lost after rebuilding aperture database

    Hi,
    After updating to Yosemite, Aperture started to show problems/ freeze etc. I could not acces my photo's and after updating Aperture 'it' announced that the libraries had to be rebuild.
    These are images stored on a external harddrive and we're talking about over 3000 images. (over 4 years of family holidays to be exact so they are very valuable)
    I left it running day and night, and after 4 days it was still rebuilding, which is understandable for that many pictures.
    Sadly a family member did not realize that the plugged in harddrive was running and unplugged it after 5 days......Naturally Aperture showed an error. When I plugged the drive back in Aperture asked to finish rebuilding the libraries. Yet when I said yes it was finished in 3seconds and Aperture won't start up nor will it show me the libraries.
    While the harddrive contained 2tb of info before, it's now only 500MB. It seems like 1/4th of my images are just gone. nowhere to be found and Aperture won't start back up.
    Did anyone else encounter this problem or are there any measures that can be taken to possibly resolve the images?
    Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

    Do you have any vaults or other backups of the images? I think that's what you'll need to look into. If the space is free on the drive, the images are gone.
    I haven't known Aperture to delete images. Is the Aperture library also stored on the external storage, or was it on an internal drive? It's most likely that something corrupted the external drive and lost the images, and also corrupted the Aperture library. I actually have had this happen to me once - in my case I also had some music files go missing from my iTunes library, which is why I think some external factor was at play.
    Thankfully I had a backup (I have Aperture vaults, and a separate Time Machine backup, as well as an online backup with Backblaze). Hopefully you have at least one method of backup as you're going to need it.

    I hope this is what you expected.
    You can try the following code:

    var myOutFolder = Folder("Desktop/Completed");
    //var Indd_files = get_Files(mySourceFolder,[], ".indd");

  • "Unsupported image format" after exporting original RAW file

    My library has been working fine (albeit slow - it is very large).  Today I exported a photo that I have edited and played around with many times in the past.  I inadvertantly exported the Original, and I got an error message (which I don't recall what it said) but then immediately afterward, I could not view the image.  I can't remember if I chose a duplicate version or the edited master to export (not sure why it would make a difference).  Either way the photo did not export and it is now completely unviewable.  I am trying to repair my library to see if that will help.  If not I will try to reprocess my originals (I can't seem to find a way to just reprocess the one image so will have to run it for my entire library).  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    What is your Aperture 3 version?
    The symptoms you are describing suggest, that Aperture has lost the connection between the edited version of the image and the original image file. This will typically result in being unable to export the originals or to edit.
    As a test - what happens when you select the image in question and press the "M" key to toggle between original version and current version?
    I see this, when the original file is missing:
    Is your library referenced or managed?

  • IPhoto image deleted after rendering

    I've just upgraded to iMovie HD 6.03. I have the latest version of Quicktime installed and the latest version of OSX installed.
    When importing a photo from iPhoto into iMovie - using the Ken Burns effect - the photo goes black after rendering. Non-Ken Burns version goes to iMovie trash.
    I've deleted the preferences file, ran disk permissions utilities and it still doesn't work. I get no errors related to graphics cards. This capability worked fine in prior versions of iMovie.
    Any additional suggestions?
    iMac   Mac OS X (10.4.8)   768MB SDRAM

    It's a bug. As you say, when we import a photo with the Ken Burn checkbox ON, iMovie puts its copy of the source image in the iMovie Trash. If we empty the Trash the image is discarded, making it impossible to Update the clip later.

  • Still Image distortion and washed out image quality after exporting

    Hi,
    I am a relatively new Final Cut Studio 2 user I've taken a few classes and I know the basics and a little beyond. So far my projects have been coming out well until I started having to add still images to my projects. When I add these images I size down in Photoshop CS3 appropriately, usually they are really large tiffs or standard jpegs. Then when I import them into Final Cut I size them one more time to match the wire frame. When I play the movie I created in Final Cut it looks great but after I export it using compressor I either get a pixilated type of image distortion or the images are washed out, but its usually only on certain images not all images in the project are affected. My projects usually end up embedded on our website or up on youtube or bliptv, so I have been bouncing between the H.264 300Kbps for medium bandwidth streaming and H.264 800 Kbps for high bandwidth. Would someone be able to tell me if there is a better codec I should use for the web that would get rid of these problems that I am having or do I need to size my images in a different way? Any tips would be greatly appreciated.
    Sincerely,
    The Louse~

  • Query SQL code gets deleted after export to Excel. "Query must have at least one destination field"

    Hi all,
    I'm getting really frustrated by this Access error. It happens when I export the result of a query through an Access macro to Excel, the first time it runs well but the next time, there is a chance that the query won't run and the error "Query
    must have at least one destination field" will be displayed. After that, I try to check the query SQL code and discover the code has vanished. I'm using simple Select query without joins, only "where", "group by" and "order by"
    statements.
    Thank you in advance for your help,
    Jesus 
    Edit:
    One of these queries are like the following (all of them are of this type):
    SELECT Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5, Sum(Field6) AS SumOfField6, Sum(Field7) AS SumOfField7
    FROM Table1
    WHERE Field6 is not null
    GROUP BY Field1, field2, field3, field4, field5
    Order By Sum(Field6) desc

    Hi Peter, 
    Thank you for your response, I updated the original question with one of the codes.
    Thanks,
    Jesus

  • Image Stitches after exporting to PDF

    Hi guys,
    I have exported PDF documents from InDesign in virtually all standards and option configurations. The output would sometimes look good but upon closer inspection white lines would appear across images; these images are divided into (seemingly) random sections.
    I have done some research and this seems to be a problem with the transparency flattener. Having used all standards (PDF 1.3 through PDF 1.7) this cannot be the problem. All standards starting 1.4 do not use the transparency flattener as far as I know. Also, most pages of the document do not use transparency, shadow, blending modes or any effects for that matter. The problem occurs with even the smallest and simplest images.
    The InDesign documents I export are in fact 11X17 tabloid versions of different 4-page brochures. I created a tabloid-sized page and imported each of the 4 pages to the tabloid page. The problem occurs only when exporting these tabloid documents to PDF. The original imported InDesign documents do not have that problem - I made sure.
    At first, the problem seemed to be with importing InDesign documents, but this isn't so. I exported the original InDesign documents to EPS and imported those to the Tabloid page - the same thing happens.
    I have spent hours trying to figure this out and eventually gave up and printed everything with the lines. By disabling anti-aliasing I could get rid of the lines on-screen. I haven't tried but don't think it'd do anything in print.
    Can anyone recommend a solution or at least an idea? I'm willing to try anything as this is happening with every 11X17 tabloid brochure that I create. At the moment the only thing I can think of is copying and pasting the original content to the 11X17 tabloid document, but this would be time consuming and impractical, especially when master pages exist - and this is also assuming that the problem really is with placing InDesign/EPS documents.
    Thank you,
    Tom.

    You say the flattener isn't active, but eps doesn't support transparency so those pages got flattened before you placed them.
    As Mike is alluding, there was a bug in the first release of CS3 that sometimes caused stitching in placed ID files, so the problem may well be at import, rather than export.

  • Still Images Rippling After Export

    I'm exporting a 1920x1080 video from FCP. Everything looks great on the final export, except three images ripple badly while in motion. This doesn't happen on the timeline. Plus, other images come out just fine. So the issue seems inconsistent.
    Any thoughts are greatly appreciated!

    sounds like it could be a moire issue which is usually caused by fine lines in an interlaced sequence.
    Is your sequence interlaced?   In sequence settings (make the timeline active and hit command-zero) set field dominance to none.   this may reduce the quality of the other material in your sequence if it is interlaced.  One solution is to prebuild the problem sections in their own progressive (non interlaced) sequence with the same pixel dimensions as your original sequence and export and then edit this quicktime in to your original sequence.

  • Why does "Â" show up in image title after export?

    This drives me nuts. When exporting files, the title changes on my images. The character "Â" appears within the title of my image. It's doesn't appear when I look under Library>Metadata. So everytime I use the exported files on my blog, I need to go in and change the name to a whole gallery of images.
    Please help.

  • Small image size after exporting

    Hello,
    When I export an image with dimesions of 4214x3371, the image size will show as 1.124x1.405''. This is a problem because I am trying to print my images on a 16x20'' canvas. My resolution is set at 3000ppi and I am exporting RAW files to an uncompressed TIFF file with my color space being ProPhoto RGB.
    Any input would be appreciated, this is quite frusterating.

    Let's see ... 4214 pixels divided by 3000 pixels per inch is um ... wait where's my calculator ... 1.405 inches!
    of course, the whole calculation is meaningless, it has no effect on what gets printed
    If you send a picture that is 4214x3371 pixels to be printed at 16x20 ... you ought to get decent prints at about 211 pixels per inch (where did that come from? 4214/20 inches is about 211 pixels per inch)
    So, basically, you have enough pixels to do the print. The resolution number in the file is truly meaningless here, if you ignore it and do the math the way I did, you find out you are fine. If you try to interpret this meaningless number, well, you get misled seriously.

  • Images gone after exporting to DVD

    Wow, was this ever a surprise. I exported images by selecting individual albums to a DVD for Back up. Now I have all the images on DVD but they are totally gone from iPHoto, including the library. So now I don't have the originals, or at least access to them. What the heck happened? That's crazy. Exporting has always sent a copy of the edited image not the whole shabang. Any way of getting them back and linked up with the originals?

    As you have probably deduced by not, that ain't the way it's supposed to work. Using the Share->Burn menu option will produce a disk that's an iPhoto formated disk. You can mount the disk and then open iPhoto. The disk will show in the Source pane directly under the Library icon like this. You can drag that disk icon onto the Library icon and copy back all of those photo, any albums they are associated with, keywords, etc.

  • Preview image missing after export

    Using iPhoto 6.0.3.
    I need to export the photos in my collection to JPEG for use on a PC.
    I select a photo (or photos), then choose File > Export.
    I use the File Export tab, then select the following options:
    Format = JPG
    Size = 320 x 240 (the original is 2560 x 1920)
    Name = Use title
    Use Extension = Checked
    I then press Export.
    I export to a shared folder on my PC across my network.
    I use the resulting JPEG in Macromedia RoboHelp X5 on my PC.
    As soon as I select the JPEG in RoboHelp, I cannot see the preview header image. RoboHelp compiles help system files into Java-driven HTML. When viewing the resulting HTML files, the images properly appear.
    What does iPhoto do that doesn't allow it to carry the preview header image with it?
    On my PC, if I open the JPEG in ImageReady then Save As Optimized, the preview header suddenly reappears.

    You can use the extract all images tool to recover the images. If there are many images on multiple pages, extract the desired page first and then do the extract all images to get the desired image.

  • Keyframes deleted after exporting selection. Any way to recover?

    Hey folks,
    It looks like I may have been burned by the autosave feature. This evening I went into an old flash file to grab some stills that I could pull into an illustrator file via export selection. I didn't remove any frames from the timeline while I was working, but I did notice that the file autosaved a handful of times. When I went back into the file again later to export another graphic, I noticed that a handful of layers had suddenly lost their keyframes. The frames affected were all in graphics. This is a project I'm somewhat far removed from now, so I'm not planning to spend the time to go back and redraw everything that's missing, but it really irks me that this stuff disappeared when I went into the program to do some pretty non-invasive editing.
    So my question is, before this gets too far away, is there a way to revert the autosaved file to an earlier version (even imperfectly or incompletely just to find the missing chunks and manually reinsert them into current document). Is there anywhere that missing frames have been known to show up? There's an entry for today in the swf history that says "swf size increased over 50%," in case that is helpful to know.
    First time here, so let's hope I'm doing this by the books:
    Adobe Flash Professional CS 6, 12.0.0.481
    Windows 7
    HP laptop, nothing too fancy here.
    64bit operating system
    6 gb ram
    Intel Core i5-2439M cpu @ 2.4 GHz
    Thanks!

    Try right-clicking on the file and select "Properties." See if you have a "Previous Versions" tab. Whether you do depends on how your computer is set up. If that's there, you may be able to recover the file.
    For future reference, both Git and SVN allow you to create local repositories, so version control doesn't need to be elaborate.
