Images imported from library are empty

Sorry, I did post this query a few days ago, and I did get a
response but unfortunately it did not help.
When I import my images to the library, I can see them fine
in the viewer window. However, when I drag the images to the stage
I get just an empty frame. I do not know what the problem is. I
have tried importing the same images into a stage on an older
version of Flash and there is no problem. I see the images fine.
So, what can be the problem with Flash CS3.
I was advised by this forum to check to make sure the
"outlines" option was turned off on that layer. I tried this, but I
had no luck. Interestingly though if I work in Flash 8 on the same
computer and then import the Flash 8 files to CS3 I can then see
images I import from the library, even after I have converted the
Flash 8 files to CS3 format. At the moment it is the only way I can
work with CS3. Does anyone have any advice on what to do?
Thanking you all,
Mary

Hi
There are several layers to this.
a. There are no HD-DVD - DVD is as standard only Standard Definition as on old CRT-TVs and can never be anything btter as iPhoto showes on Your Mac screen (5 to 10 times higher resolution)
b. One can get a result less than iDVD SD quality and down to really bad by
• Using iMovie'08 or 09 or 11 - as they discard every second line in the picture = 50% loss
• Using iMovie HD6 and NO Ken Burns effect AND "Share to iDVD" as this also results in disaster (heavely pixelated Bad bad pictures) - (as iMovie will render badly)
c. I build my SlideShow in
• iMovie HD6 - and no Ken Burns effect - BUT I close iMovie and import iMovie movie project (SlideShow) from within iDVD and now iDVD will render and so much better.
• FinalCut also delivers maximal quality over to iDVD
(from FCE/P - Export out as QuickTime .mov - NO QuickTime conversion (Important))
• iMovie'08 to 11 - I Share to Media Browser and as Large (not HD or other)
iMovie HD6/FinalCut + iDVD will give as high quality possibly to the resulting DVD.
I use
• Verbatim DVD-R
• set down burn speed to x4 (Plays better on many DVD-Players)
• Pro Quality encoding - I got the time and like the result

I recently restored my itunes library and many songs imported from CD are now marked mpeg audio stream. I can't play them. Why did this happen?

I cannot view images imported from nikon d4

i cannot view images imported from nikon d4.
I have just upgraded to the most current version of aperture and when I import images from my qxd card it looks like it is importing but no images show up.

So the images show up in the Import pane of Aperture but after you press the Import button they do not show in the project you are importing into?
Does this happen for both Raw and JPG images?

Imported mailbox messages are empty

Hi all~
So I got my computer to let me import mailboxes (with help from a nice guy at the genius bar) but now the actual messages (which is the information I need) are empty. Any ideas?

Hi Cliff,
I haven't tried this on 10.6.x yet, so not certain, but this can fix myriad Mail problems in 10.4.x/10.5.x...
Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), it will try to repair your Disk Directory while the spinning radian is happening, so let it go, run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, then move this folder & file to the Desktop.
Move this Folder to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Caches/Mail/
Move this file to the Desktop...
/Users/YourUserName/Library/Mail/Envelope Index
Reboot.
If that doesn't do it and you can afford to redo all your Rules, try these & reboot...

Photo Stream images deleted from library!

Recently, on launch, Aperture reported that Photo Stream was not enabled (even though I had not changed settings since enabling). I (re)enabled it, but after doing so, only the most recent photos (for the past month or so) were recognized as being in the stream (even though aproximately an additional month's photos are still indicated as being in my stream on all my iOS devices — at least for the time being). More importantly (and clearly a SERIOUS BUG): all the missong photos that had already been downloaded to my Aperture library ("automatic import" is checked in preferences) were gone, not only from the library, but also deleted from all the albums (e.g. flickr, facebook) to which they had been published.
Is Photo Stream working? Automatic deletion of photos, including shared photos) seems like a big problem!

Yep, I and others have noticed it too. There's another thread here on the issue.
I am not talking about the Photstream shutting itself off issue (which IS happening for some people, but not me), but the situation wherein photos that have been automatically imported into "Oct. 2011 Photo Stream," "Nov 2011 Photo Stream," etc., disappear when their Photostream counterparts disappear. This essentially negates the entire usefulness of Photo Stream.
I have used one workaround, albeit a cumbersome one: rebuild your Aperture Library (hold down on command and option while double clicking on your Library to open Aperture). Your lost photos should show up in a "Recovered Photos" folder. I think this works because the masters that have been auto-imported from Photo Stream aren't really deleted from Aperture.
I hope Apple recognizes the problem and fixes it. There doesn't seem to be a big uproar about it, though. :-/

Songs I imported from cds are no longer in my iTunes account. How can I get them back without having to reload them on?

There are 158 songs that were once in my iTunes that are now missing. I put all of them on from cds. The only songs that are left are ones that i have purchased. When i pulg my ipod into my computer to add recent songs that i have bought it tells me that i need to erase and sync my ipod with my itunes library or cancel. Well i dont want to erase my ipod and sync it with my itunes because that is 158 less songs that would be on there. On the apple website it said that songs from cds are in the itunes media folder but when i went there it is still just my purchased songs. I dont know what to do except reload all of them back on there but i really dont want to since im not the one who took them off!! Im not entirely sure when the songs went away but i recently updated to itunes 10.4 (i think its .4) and im not sure if that is why they are gone. Thank you in advance to any help!!

Images imported from QT exported image sequence have jagged edges

Hi
I've come across something strange which I'd like to resolve.
I export an image sequence from QuickTime.
I then import this into Aperture.
But the images imported into Aperture now have jagged edges where there has been any movement in the original footage.
The images originally exported from QuickTime look absolutely fine when viewed with preview, they have the expected blurring on moving objects, but no jaggedness.
Now, a bit more detail.
The footage I'm exporting from was shot by me and came from a Final Cut Pro edit.
The codec in the QT movie is Apple Intermediate Codec and this is interlaced.
The jagged edges on movement look to me like the problem of interlaced not being converted to progressive.
However the exported images from QuickTime don't display this when viewed in Preview, it is only when viewed in Aperture that the jagged edges become apparent.
I have tried exporting from QuickTime to jpg, png and psd, but the problem is identical no matter which format I use.
I really want to now use Aperture to improve these exported images, but with this jagged edge problem I can't.

Hi JNorris--
Sounds like you need to apply the deinterlace filter (Effects tab: video filters: video: deinterlace) to the stills your exporting.
See if that makes a difference to start.

Imports from iPhoto Are Cropped

All of the pictures I am importing from iPhoto to iMovie end up being cropped so heads are being cut off when viewed on iMovie

Duh..I found it under photo settings. It was set to enlarge all imported photos. Never mind.

Limited image import from scanner

I find only limited image import options under Photoshop CS5 and CS6. Under CS3, I have a number of options which I have used frequently, regarding preview, zoom, desceening, filtering, stretch, noise removal, fading, grain, etc. None of these seem to be available under either CS5 OR CS6. In fact, under CS5, under "FILE>IMPORT", I I don't even GET the Canoscan 8400F opton. This is pretty basic stuff, getting good quality off a scanner. What's up? Do I need to go back to CS3 for everything? It actually worked.

Hi there, I'm sorry you aren't able to scan.
What operating system are you using? There are known issues with scanning while running Mountain Lion, in particular. If this is the case, Adobe engineer reccommends trying Image Capture:
Image Capture is a utility program in the Utilities folder inside the Applications folder, and is a standard part of Mac OS X. As far as I know, Image Capture does work properly in Mountain Lion.
ImageKit refers to the underlying Cocoa frameworks (programming interfaces) used by Image Capture as well as by Photoshop and other applications to perform scanning. For reasons I won't go into here, these are not working correctly in Photoshop, but are in Image Capture, which is the problem we're working to resolve with Apple.
The scanners that work with Image Capture/ImageKit are also a standard part of Mac OS X, which means that users do not have to go to a different web site (e.g. Epson's web site) to download and install drivers for their specific scanner, which you do have to do with TWAIN. Scanner support (numbering in the hundreds) through Image Capture/ImageKit is already included in Mac OS X "out of the box".
We added support for ImageKit scanning to Photoshop CS6 because we recognized it was unlikely that scanner manufacturers would go back and rewrite their TWAIN drivers to work in 64-bit mode (especially older scanners that are no longer manufactured).
One advantage is that as improvements are made to ImageKit and as more scanners are added by Apple to their Mac OS X releases over time, Photoshop users get those "for free", so to speak. Unfortunately, changes to ImageKit made for Mountain Lion have had the effect of breaking this feature in Photoshop, but we are confident this will get sorted out.
Here is an article talking about known issues with scanning in CS6, and some workarounds. It suggests downloading a TWAIN driver (more information here) or using your scanner's scan utility (although this might not be the optimal solution for you, considering you came to the forum).
I hope this information helps!

Images imported from iPhoto to iDvd are not as sharp as originals. Any solution?

Trying iDVD for the first time. Imported images from iPhoto. However on the DVD, the images are not as sharp as the original files which are very sharp and well-focused. Any solutions or is this kind of degradation just to be expected?
Thank you!

Images imported from a digital camera were viewable and editable at first but later disappeared! They cannot be re-imported from either the camera or the iCloud as iPhoto indicates that they already exist, but cannot locate them. Please help!

On holiday I have been uploading my photos to iphoto on my macbook pro every few days, the latest batch appeared and I was able to edit them, flag, merge events etc. However, later that day when I went back to the images they could not be found in my library. They had been removed from 'latest import', however were viewable on the icloud photo stream. I have attempted to re-import the images from both the digital camera and my photostream but iphoto indicates that the images had already been imported and would not import them again. I was able to locate the master images using finder, but Iphoto tells me that these files are unreadable (they are .jpg) when I try to re-add them this way. I have also tried to 'unhide' all images in case I had accidentally hidden them but this didn't work either.
Any other suggestions?

a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card -- I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

Images imported from Aperture showing up 'washed out' in Lightroom.

I am aware that Lightroom uses ProPhoto RBG. When i export images from Aperture to a folder then import into Lightroom the images appear very different. Is there a setting i am missing as the images seem 'washed' out in Lightroom. When i export to the desktop and open in Photoshop they look the same as in Aperture. After i import to Lightroom and open in Photoshop they still look washed out.
New to Lightroom and trying to find the right alternative to Aperture.
Many Thanks in advance.

You are probably right, it is an issue with color profiles and gamut. Aperture does use a different raw converter, which will create some variance. In fact, many like the look of straight Aperture raw conversions over straight ACR conversions. But if the washed out look is dramatic, and Photoshop opens your raw files okay, then it must be a profile issue.
It may help to explain how you are exporting from Aperture. Are your source files raw files, PSDs, TIFFs, or JPEGs? Are you exporting masters, or are you exporting versions? If you're exporting versions, take a look at your "source preset" when exporting. What color profile are you embedding?
Although if you are embedding any color profile, Photoshop and Lightroom should pick it up.
All I've read is that Lightroom manages profiles more transparently than Photoshop, but perhaps someone could jump in here and say how it is managed.
Finally, what purpose are you exporting and importing into Lightroom? If you're migrating your library to a Lightroom catalog, you may be best served by using the Aperture migration plug-in.
Aperture import plugin now available
The plug-in still has issues with foreign characters, importing all previews, and face keywording and keywording previews. You'll be better off waiting until these issues are fixed. Even if you can't, the plug-in would still be a better option than a manual attempt, unless you're doing something other than migrating your Aperture library.

Reinserting Preview/Images missing from Library and Project

After ingesting my images from CF reader into a project, I started working on them. For some reason after working on them for awhile, I started noticing that previews were missing from the project. I looked in the Library and they were not there either. However, when I looked in to the project folder (via the Aperture "folder" in Finder), the images and associated Aperture information files were all there in their respective folders.
I'm not sure how I lost/deleted so many images from my folder and Library (I may have accidently deleted a stack, but when I searched the number of images missing I know I could not have accidently deleted that many that way if I did). But since the files are still on my hard drive in their respective folders, in the right location, is there a way to bring them back into Aperture?
Thanks,
Ed

bump...if anyone can tell me that would be great. I know it sounds like a dumb question, but for the life of me I cannot do any command - import, etc. - that can get these files that reside in the actual folder to show up in Aperture's Library or its original project.
Thx,
Ed
