Import from Aperture not working - Import Button Disabled?

Hi
I am trying to migrate my Aperture library to Lightroom 5.7.1
I open Lightroom and start the plug-in. It "thinks" for a while then stops; the Import button is disabled.
I put a screenshot below. It is in Portuguese but you can see the Aperture Library is configured; Number of files is "undefined" for some reason. As is the "Required Disk Space".
And the "Import" button is not enabled.
Any hints on how to proceed? I've been trying to do it for the past 5 days - and I do hope I have enough evaluation days to actually evaluate Lightroom rather than get stuck on step one
Thanks
Alex

hi
To fill the input fields of a called transaction with data from the calling program, you can use the SPA/GPA technique. SPA/GPA parameters are values that the system stores in the global, user-specific SAP memory. SAP memory allows you to pass values between programs.
ABAP programs can access the parameters using the SET PARAMETER and GET PARAMETER statements.
To fill one, use:
SET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement saves the contents of field <f> under the ID <pid> in the SAP memory. The code <pid> can be up to 20 characters long. If there was already a value stored under <pid>, this statement overwrites it. If the ID <pid> does not exist, double-click <pid> in the ABAP Editor to create a new parameter object.
To read an SPA/GPA parameter, use:
GET PARAMETER ID <pid> FIELD <f>.
This statement fills the value stored under the ID <pid> into the variable <f>. If the system does not find a value for <pid> in the SAP memory, it sets SY-SUBRC to 4, otherwise to 0.

Drag and drop from Aperture not working?

This sounds like a pretty stupid issue but... when I attempt to drag & drop an image from Aperture (to anywhere, e.g. desktop, iweb, mail) it usually doesn't let me. Some photos will drag out but most won't (Two pictures of the identical format and size - one will let me drag&drop it and the other won't), and the export feature takes forever. I tried making sure that aperture is maintaining the previews and that the file to export is half size but still not working... any ideas?

Not stupid at all. That's a feature I use all the time and I'd be pretty PO'd if it wasn't working.
Your profile doesn't indicate whether you're running Aperture 3.x or not. Did the problem appear after an update or has it always been that way on your installation?

IMPORT FROM COLOR NOT WORKING

in color when i select send to final cut pro all the color corrections are lost when opened on final cut. It appears that I successfully rendered all of my clips in Color, but when I open the NEW sequence in FCP (the one from color) they do not look any different from the originals. Does anyone have any ideas of what my problem may be? Thanks for the help.

Thanks for your help.

"Do not import duplicates" is not working

The "Do not import duplicates" box is checked for all imports but is not working. This is both for my Nikon DSLR, my Canon S-95 and my iPhone. This was happening with both Snow Leapord and Lion as operating system. I have been using Aperture since the first release and only in the last few months has this been an issue. Any thoughts?

There's a known (and old) bug when duplicate identification fails on photos
that have been imported from another catalog.

Error when trying to import from Aperture Library

I'm trying to import my Aperture Library into Lightroom using the "Import from Aperture Library" plug-in. Every time I get a "?:0: attempt to index a nil value" error as soon as I click the Import button. I've tried removing Lightroom (and its ancillary files) and re-installing, I've tried different destination disks for the import, I've repaired the Aperture Library, nothing helps - the same error appears every time. I'm using a Retina iMac with OS X Yosemite and LR 5.7.1. Any suggestions? Thanks, Jack

Hi Jack
I think it may still be work in progress and you may need to wait a little. Problems have also been reported importing from iPhoto. See this thread:

Import from Aperture Created Extra Collections (2 for 1)

I used the Aperture Import plugin to import my Library to start fresh with Lightroom 5. It created many extra "collections" that I now don't know what to do with. It would take me hours to change the hierarchy in Lightroom now that this has occured.
Sample Aperture Hierarchy:
PERSONAL FOLDER
     FAMILY FOLDER
          SISTER PROJECT - contains photos
          DAD PROJECT - contains photos
          MOM PROJECT - contains photos
How they transferred to Lightroom 5 Hierarchy using SISTER as example:
PERSONAL COLLECTION SET
     FAMILY COLLECTION SET
          SISTER COLLECTION SET
               SISTER COLLECTION (NAMED "PROJECT PHOTOS") - contains photos
Essentially, it duplicated efforts and created two (a collection set and a collection) for every one project in aperture. (see SISTER above)
It did this for hundreds of collection sets/projects! It seems in order to correct this I would have to go back and remove the last COLLECTION SET for every COLLECTION and Change it to a COLLECTION INSTEAD (renaming it from "PROJECT PHOTOS" to the COLLECTION NAME). I tried some of this but it didn't seem to want to let me move the COLLECTIONS named "Project Photos" into the COLLECTION SET?
My questions are:
Is there a way to change or clean up my aperture library so it won't import this way? (Considering just deleting the Lightroom Catalog and starting from scratch with a new import). I have to have the sub categories for organization.
Is there an easy way to change a collection set to a collection and have all the pics show up there. I tried moving photos from the collection into collection sets and it would not let me.
Is there a way to choose/customize how it imports from Aperture and select whether things = collection sets or collections?
Should I use regular import instead? Will that work differently and if so what are the steps?
What is the correct hierarchy based on the Aperture example above as to how I should be organizing my photos?
Finally, In terms of my CATALOGUE; I am not thrilled that it brought everything in by day (3/13/2015, 3/12/2015) into my catalogue! Is there an option to tell it HOW to import? Say by month? Will I have to keep up this sequence every time I import now? (I plan to import/sync with SmugMug from now on: Iphone to SmugMug to Lightroom)
Thanks and any help is appreciated!

and obviously that's not possible directly from Aperture (why not?),
Obviously it is, consult your Aperture Manual. But here’s a hint: Start with File -> New -> Book...
What do I do wrong?
You’re using the iPhoto command: Show Aperture Library, correct?
When you do this you’re accessing your Aperture Previews. IF you want to use better quality images either a: use better quality Previews in Aperture, or export the images from Aperture and import to iPhoto.

If there are problems with importing the IE Favorites in Firefox then export the favorites in IE to an HTML file and import that file in the Firefox Bookmarks Manager.
If you do not have the menu bar in IE then right-click the toolbar at the top to enable the Menu Bar.

Error During Import: File Could Not Be Imported

I am trying to load some .AVI movies from my digital camera into iMovie; most of them will, but 1 or 2 for some reason will not. I have played some of these videos on my old G3, which I replaced with this new computer; most loaded in OK.
The clips that won't load look smaller than the others when playing (don't know why). I played the movies and converted them to Quicktime again in MPEG Streamclip and they played fine (also in VLC PLayer, FWIW).
I am getting this error message: Error during Import: File Could Not Be Imported.
Also, I am trying to change the orientation of one clip that I inadvertently shot sideways; I did this in Bitlist but it won't load now into iMovie. Is there away to change the orientation in Quicktime (I'm not buying QT pro) or another free converter that will work?
Thanks in advance...

try to ...
* open the avi/mpegs in Streamclip
* choose 'DV stream' as export option
* in the 'DV stream' dialog, you're offered the option 'turn'.. rotate in the wanted direction and choose '75%' size to get all into the video...

on my iPod nano 6th not working Sleep Button. problem occurs a second time.
problem has been, decided to change the service center to the next. Now this is not possible, the warranty is over. how can I fix this problem?

Hello J-Dub 181,
And welcome to Apple Discussions!
Have you tried resetting the iPod? If not, press and hold the Center and Menu buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If, you are still have issues after resetting the iPod, it may be best to restore the iPod via iTunes and start from scratch. Usually a restore can resolve these types of issues.

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button

I ipod classic 80 gb when I am connected pc connected after that is hanged just showing connected its not working any button .

Try connecting it to another PC, if it is ok, then your PC has some software conflict with iTunes.
If it hangs other PC also, then your iPod Hardisk, maybe bad.
Do the disk diagnosticas posted earlier by tt2, to check the health of your Hardisk.
Have a nice day!

I am trying to use the new plug-in for import from aperture. But the "import" button always disappears ... any help out there?

Hi there
I have up-dated LR to the latest version and like to use the plug-in for the import from the Aperture library. I follow the steps suggested by an article, have saved all picture into separate folders (folder = project name) and still, after the analysis of the library, the "import" button disappears and I am stuck and can't import.
Any ideas what can be done/must be done to get this working?
Regards
Diethard

I am having the same issue, i've selected my Aperture library, and the "import" button does not activate. Any idea how to fix?

Aperture not working to get import previews and thus import images

I cannot seem to get images to appear int eh Import Window's preview pane, and thus cannot import them. I have some 1600 images from a recent shoot in a sub-folder on an external drive (in two locations actually) and Aperture is not hunting them down. I have tried importing files on the desktop as a test and the same problem, no previews and no chance to import. All my OS and Aperture updates are installed and I did a restart to no avail.
I know that this version of Aperture, along with the user manually select to not import into a New Project (grip for Apple dev if they are reading), that previews take long to load and freeze the Import process on my setup. So, it could be that it is taking forever to get 1600 previews, but viewing them in a finder window shows no problems getting previews.
Any pointers as to what the problem might be?

I have occasionally had this problem and found either waiting a while or cancelling the Import and then retrying the Import (and being patient) works.
The workflow I use includes giving a custom master/version name to the appropriate images from the camera, such as "Judy in the Garden", importing those pics of Judy, and then supplying another master/version name, such as "Punch Drunk" for the appropriate images of Punch, importing those, and so on. So it can take many iterations to pull all the images in. Often the imports work as you would expect but then suddenly, nothing appears to happen and cancel and I redo it. My suspicion is Aperture is busy doing some housekeeping or other (or hung) but since a retry or two does the trick, I don't worry about it.
