Imported images into single project are split into managed and referenced

I've noticed a behavior twice recently that I can't seem to trace. Background: Big Aperture library on its own internal drive, gets re-copied to new drive every month or so. 439,591 images. Probably about 350-400 GB on a 500GB drive.
Last night, I was importing by reference 956 images from two separate cards (537 and 419 images) simultaneously (one FW400 Lexar reader, one USB SanDisk reader). — something I do often
The import was very slow. Seemed like it was hung up, but I remained patient. Eventually it finished.
The project now has 956 images, with 137/537 managed and 310/419 managed, even though the import was set up to be referenced.
The directory where they were supposed to be stored has 920 items.
Drilling down into the Aperture library contents shows Two directories in Masters for that date, one with 137, one with 310.
This tells me that in the process of the import, Aperture managed to turn 956 files into 1367 total, between the three places, and create a confusing problem that I have to work out manually.
Looking back in the masters section, I see that it appears to have possibly happened a few other times.
Has anybody else observed this behavior? Anybody know how to solve it? Aperture has been making me nervous lately.
I should add that I've already tried repair permissions and repair database. I'm a little nervous about the rebuild database option.

    I have loaded my Firefox bookmarks into Internet Explorer Favorited. I also uninstalled Safari.
    I go to iTunes on my phone and see no wat to connect my iPhone to my laptop. I see Music, Shows, etc., the kind of stuff I would expect, but no clue as to how to proceed.
    Would you please be so kind to fill me in on how to "That syncing is done via iTunes. Connect the device to iTunes, select it, then go to the Summary page and select to sync bookmarks."?
    I am not sure what you mean by "Summary Page"

  • Since switching to Firefox, links pasted into e-mail are no longer blue and clickable. How do I fix that?

    Since switching to Firefox, links pasted into e-mail are no longer blue and clickable. What can I do to make them work again?

    The text editor is the textarea that you use on the webmail (Yahoo, Hotmail) website to compose a new mail.
    Compare that with the "Post a Reply" textarea that you use to write a new post on this forum.
    Just above the textarea that you use to enter the message text there is usually a button bar with buttons to add text formatting like Bold and Italic.
    This button bar can also include a button to turn a link into a clickable hyperlink.
    Check the tooltip of each button by hovering with the mouse over each button.

  • I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there.  I have more info now though.  It's not a problem with merging.
    The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
    When aperture start, it shows "importing".  When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box.  In the activity box, has many lines as below.  The added projcts are all empty.  It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

    i try to keep my thumb palms off the mouse pad when i am typing but every now and then my screen resizes larger or smaller until i take my left palm off the keyboard base its only when my left palm is resting on the base next to the touch pad. i type pretty fast so it gets annoying and yes it also jumps screens or reverts back to previous message and i have to choose ctrl z to undo and get back to my message i was typing... it also switches tabs on me as well... not sure why my palm being on the left of the keypad on the base should effect anything but it does after a while. and i have to stop what i am doing...and go to the firefox menu and change the screen size back down to 100% sometimes it goes up to 200-300 other times it goes down to 70-80% i find it annoying i i wish there was a way to turn off the screen resize in the setup panel. if its just left to be 100% i am happy with that... i don't need it to be bigger or smaller... there should be a way to LOCK it down... i understand that there are people out there with eye problems and needs to have the screen size increase using the + or - but there should be a lock so it just stays no matter what is happening on my keypad or touch pad or base of the pad... that screen size will not increase or decrease. unless i turn off the lock... perhaps this is something they can implement in the next version or do a quick update of the browser

  • Stumped: Cannot see imported images in a project...but they are there!

    I recently imported a set of images into a project in Aperture 3. The item count in the project shows as 550, but when I click on it, only 368 images are displayed. Huh?
    If I use the "In the Last Week" Smart Album, I see the images there. Aperture won't let me drag them into the project I want them in, so I know they are there.
    Why doesn't Aperture show me the latest images in the project?

    So, turns out that there was indeed a filter applied. Nothing was typed into the search field in the upper left of the image list, but there were two small icons there, one looked like a pushpin and the other I couldn't identify. No idea how they got there, but once I clicked the "X" to clear the search box, all of the images were displayed. Strange, since I don't remember doing anything to set up a filter.
    Thanks for your help, everyone!

  • PSE7 ~ I'm inserting a .jpg image into a project, need to resize smaller and it ends up blurry!

    Please help!
    I am creating a birthday invitation for my daughter using PSE7.  I found a few .jpeg images on the web that I want to use.  The images should be okay size-wise (a 66kb image) when I try to insert this image onto the invitation (size of the invite is 5x7) - image takes up maybe 1/6th of overall invitation.  When I insert this image into the project, it is HUGE.  I need to resize it to reduce, but when I do for some reason it becomes very blurry.  I can't figure this out!  At the very least a 66kb image should be able to be inserted onto this 5x7 invitation as a 1" square and be crisp at that size??  Ugghh!
    I hope I am being clear in my request...the image in question is pictured below.  When this image is inserted into my PSE project, it would be about 2" high on a 5"x7" invitation...
    Also, when I save the whole invitation as a jpg for printing, it's only 120kb file size...shouldn't it be much larger?  Am I missing a global setting somewhere that's messing everything up??  Many thanks in advance to anybody offering suggestions...

    You're thinking in the wrong terms. You need to be focusing more on ppi (pixels per inch) rather than the file size in KB. Start by  making sure your main image is at 300 ppi (you may have to start over from scratch). If the graphics are now way too small when you bring them in, remove them and try a lower resolution, but you don't want to go below about 220 usually (it depends on your printer how low you can go and get away with it).
    Go to Image>Resize>Image size to check your invite's ppi, but my guess is that you started at something like 72 ppi. If you did, I'd start over, unless you have enough pixels that when you change the ppi to 300 (with Resample Image turned OFF) it's still large enough.

  • When trying to import images from an external hard drive into Lightroom 5 it states no preview for the files selected

    Go easy on me here….
    Trying to import images from external hard drive into Lightroom 5 but the selected images state 'no preview for file'.
    All other images on the external hard drive can be previewed and imported without issue.
    I have tried adding the images onto the computers hard drive as well but still no joy.
    I've used Lightroom 5 previously and had no issue so convinced its the files I'm trying to import (jpeg files).
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • Trying to import images from sd card as copy to dng and crashes my program LR3.6

    Trying to import images as dng and crashes my computer. It writes to a temp folder and cannot delete the temp folder bc there is error in writing to it. Mac OSX. Have done this many time with no problem. I can make adjustments inside the program and when I export the modified images to another folder it writes to a temp folder as well. but doesnt crash the system. Any suggestions on how to correct this

    Sounds like you need to check the permissions of where you are copying or exporting to. Repair permissions as well.

  • Can "jpeg+raw" imported single file be split into jpeg and raw files?

    I manage to choose to import my jpeg and raw pictures as single jpeg+raw files accidentely. What means with this format? can I split this "jpeg+raw" pictures into jpeg and raw again? If you edit a jpeg+raw picture are you just working with the raw file, I mean I saw that I could change the exposure on the file which you only can do on raw files. Is it a bad idea to import jpeg and raw pictures as a single file? I really don´t understand the properties of this "jpeg+raw"-file
    /Magnus Lightroom rookie

    With RAW+JPEG, the JPEG is only used for the initial Library view, prior to generating previews from the RAW file. Once you have generated previews and/or developed the image, the JPEG is unused. The edits you make won't affect the JPEG at all. It is, however, still tied to the RAW as metadata, so deleting the JPEG will flag your image as having problems (and list it as "missing" even though it's very clearly in your catalog). Tuning off the option to handle RAW+JPEG together in preferences won't fix past combo images, but it will avoid making this idiotic mistake in the future. After turning it off, export your metadata to the RAWs, then delete them from the library (not the disk) and then reimport them without the JPEGs. Peace will rule the world.

  • When I import a cd the files are written into separate folders. I want all the tunes in one folder. How do I do that?

    How do I get all the files on a cd into a single folder when I import them in iTunes? It seems to be a wild horse, splitting a cd up into files with one, two, three, or accasionally all of the tunes in one files.

    No, that doesn't do it. I just tried to import an opera aria album, all tracks by the same tenor, and he is listed on each. iTunes split it into four albums. On earlier versions I could join tracks, but I don't see any way of doing that in the latest version of iTunes. The help section says to mark all the tracks and then click on the options button and a menu allowing join tracks will appear. It doesn't.
    Here's another problem: iTunes consistently truncates the first two tracks, i.e. it eliminates them altogether. Help.

  • Is there a way to find what projects are included into aproject through

    Greetings All,
    I've been wondering if there is a way to find out what projects have a
    "Project" included? I would think that there is some undocumented TOOL code
    that does this or a undocumented fscript command that does it. Does anybody
    know about this or a way to find this out?
    Thanks!!

  • Imported images from my iPad are a strange size?

    A recent import of my photos from my iPad to my mac are a strange size. I cannot get them any bigger when I enter full screen. The are just squares about 10cm x 10 cm can anyone help?

    I'm assuming you and your wife have different accounts and that hers has somehow been used in the setup of your devices/computers.  (If you are both sharing one account, then you should consider using separate ones for icloud, otherwise everything you do will be shared with your wife.  You can use the same account for itunes to share your purchases, unless you have already made purchases under separate itunes accounts, in which case you'll need to continue doing that.)
    On a device, go to settings>icloud and scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap delete account.  This will remove all icloud data from your device.  Then at the top of the page, log into **your** account and all your data from your account will download.
    Also, settings>itunes and apps stores, log out if it's the wrong account and log in using your account ID.

  • Songs on a single CD are split between two albums in Itunes

    This seems to happen whenever a particular artist on the CD has someone else join him and the singer listed goes from "singer name" to "singer name and other name". This creates another "album" with a single song on it. Any way to prevent this and/or to reposition the single song bact to the original album?

    See my recent post on Grouping Tracks Into Albums, in particular the topic One album, too many covers.
