Imported iPhoto library -- Aperture set time stamp for each picture 5 hours

Very annoying and bizarre -- I imported thousands of pictures, from 3 or 4 different cameras, and all of them have the time stamp 5 hours too early. I'm not worried about time zones, etc. -- even where the camera, computer and file resides in Chicago, and are set to Chicago time, a photo that was taken at 3 PM CST, and says so in iPhoto, says that it was taken at 10 AM CST in Aperture. Is there any easy way to fix this for all of the pictures?

Hi Sharon,
There is a way to make a change to the date of all pictures. Select all the pictures that need adjustment, then go to the "Metadata | Adjust Date and Time" function. Aperture will show the time of the first picture, and you can set that time to something else. Aperture determines the delta from current to new timestamp, and applies that same delta to all of the other pictures.
You are also probably wondering how that happened in the first place. I don't know for sure, but try to import some more pictures, and in the upper right "Import Settings", select "Time Zone" See if the time zones match CST.

Can't import iPhoto Library - Aperture 1.5.2 & iPhoto 6.0.5

I have tried searching the Aperture discussions for a solution, and have only found one useful topic from July 2006:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303438
However, it states this was a partial solution with Aperture 1.0 & iPhoto 6.0.1 or 6.0.2, and would be resolved in Aperture 1.1. We're up to Aperture 1.5.2 now, and I'm unwilling to uninstall iPhoto and revert back to 6.0 to try this solution. I have a SLOOOOW workaround (batch export original file at original size & format from iPhoto to temp hard drive folder, then import from file to Aperture), and have even tried working on an Automator script (not yet successful). Does anyone else have this problem?
FYI, the symptoms are: in Aperture File > Import > iPhoto Library... Selected iPhoto Library folder, Store Files in their current location, and click "Choose". The popup window closes, but nothing happens. No spinning beach ball, no error message, nothing.
Thanks for any help or insights.

Hey Suydam.
I am having the EXACT same issues and it is driving me insane.
I have been searching and searching for an answer and nothing.
there is this thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4311146&#4311146
where the person found a solution but it just seems rather tedious to do.
I am hoping I can find an answer.
I see you posted this back in Feb. Was wondering if you found a solution.

Time stamp for each DML in spool file

Hi,
I need to know how much time is taking for each delete statement in sql file.
this is my sql file with dml statements.
set serveroutput on;
set time on;
spool C:\PN\PN\temp_spool.log
delete from tmp_test1;
commit;
delete from tmp_test21;
commit;
set time off;
spool off;
The spool file is creating as below.
20 rows deleted.
Commit complete.
30 rows deleted.
Commit complete.
My requirement is to print time for each DML in the spool file. eg
*17:31:03 SQL>*
*20 rows deleted.*
Commit complete.
*17:31:33 SQL>*
*30 rows deleted.*
Commit complete.
*17:31:53 SQL>*
If I spool the file with time stamp I can get the timing for each DML.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks,

I need to know how much time is taking for each delete statement in sql file.

Date and Time stamp for the archives

Hi,
I'm trying to set up a date/time stamp field for a Documaker archive.
I've added a TIME_STAMP field in my APPIDX.DFD and I populate the field using a DAL script, invoked by a PreTransDAL line in my AFGJOB file. That works fine but, the DAL script being invoked for every transaction, it adds to the processing time.
I do not need an exact date/time stamp for each transaction in the batch, I could use the same one for all the transactions. That would require the TIME_STAMP global variable to be populated once, at the job level, at the beginning of each batch.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Gaetan,
Try using a BatchBannerBeginScript to populate a GVM with the date/time, and then reference this GVM in your APPIDX.DFD. In this manner the value will be updated at the start of processing for each batch rather than each transaction. Or, consider the possibility of adding the transaction date/time into the extract data and then sourcing from that point. Either should work. In my experience most customers prefer that the archive date/time come from the system of record rather than the time the transaction was archived -- unless of course the customer actually wants to record the time the transaction was archived, in which case the method I've described above should work.
Enjoy!

Importing iPhoto library in Aperture

Hello this is the step that i follow to import the iPhoto library in Aperture
1- File>Import>iPhoto Library
2- Store Files in the apeture library
3- Import
When the importing process is finished from the image folder in Finder I can see that my iphoto library is 30gb but the Aperture library is 15gb (even if the aperure window when I import the iphoto library say that aperutre will import 30gb)
So I go in aperture and try to consolidate files but aperture say
The selection doesn’t have any referenced files
Any help?

My master folder in iphoto is 25gb in aperture is 13
So either quite a few masters have not been imported, or the masters have been imported with the wrong resolutzin, or your iPhoto "Masters" folder contains additional files - duplicate versions, or raw files.
@TD, any more suggestions?
So, please, look into the "Masters" folder in iPhoto and Aperture - navigate down the folder structure , until you finally find the actual images. Compare the sizes of the master image files, and look in the iPhoto library if there are duplicates.
If the sizes of the master files in iPhoto are larger than in Aperture, then something went wrong.
If on the other hand, there are duplicates in iPhoto that are not there in Aperture, then never mind.
You confirmed that the numbers of images are correct. When you compared the numbers of images in iPhoto and Aperture, did you make sure that iPhoto was set to show "Hidden Photos"? (in the main menu bar: "View -> Hidden Photos" should be checked)
Ps. How do I get bigger icon in left side if finder?
When you have a Finder Window selected, you can customize the View by pressing Command(⌘)-J, short for "View -> Show View Options". In the pop-up window set the Text Size to a higher value.
That will increase the size of the icons as well.

Aperture import iPhoto library, no duplicates

Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
According to the online manual there is a command 'File > Import > iPhoto Library' that would allow the 'Do not import duplicates' option. This command does not seem to exist in the current version of Aperture.
This may be a way to do this -
    Right or control click on the iPhoto library to 'Show Package Contents'. Move the Masters folder out of the package.
    In Aperture, click the Import arrow icon and navigate to the Masters folder. This allows selection of the 'Do not import duplicates' checkbox.
    Then perhaps run Duplicate Annihilator on the Aperture library. Use the option to label any duplicates and originals. Flag the originals and search for keywords 'original' and 'duplicate' to verify.
Any comments on this - will it work?

Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
The recommended procedure to merge iPhoto libraries using Aperture is described here:
Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
You will need the current Aperture 3 version - at least Aperture 3.3. and open all your iPhoto libraries in iPhoto 9.3 or later at least once.
Merging libraries is preferable to simply importing the "masters" folder - this way you will be able to save all your work - edits, tagging, albums, etc.
If you move the "Masters" folder from your iPhoto library, you may corrupt the library, and by importing only the originals and not the edited versions, all your work done in iPhoto will be lost.
If you have Duplicate Annihilator, you can still run it afterwards to check, if duplicates are remaining after merging. The "Merge" will only look for perfect duplicates - similar filename, similar size.

Having installed aperture 3 and imported iphoto library (15000 photos) Apertue 3 does not render most of my photos corectly most a blurred pixellated and distorted. Reverting to photo produces perfect results. Any suggestions

Galdaplh,
What do you mean by "reverting to photo"? "Revert" is not a function in Aperture so you must be talking about something else.
If you just performed the import of that many photos, Aperture will take some time to generate thumbnails. You can see if it is doing this sort of thing by {Command}-{Shift}-0 to show the Activity window.
Once Aperture generates all its thumbnails, you will have nearly instantaneous access to much, much better thumbnails than Aperture uses immediately after importing photos.

Not enough free space on Aperture Library volume to import iPhoto library into Aperture?

I purchased Aperture 3 from the App Store after using the free trial version for a few weeks. I downloaded the program and do not have any images imorted into Aperture yet. I tried to import my iPhoto library using File>Import>iPhoto Library and received this message: There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 10GB of free space. I have iPhoto 11 and 25,000 images on iPhoto. I did review the Aperture owners manual and did not find an answer to this.

Well obviously you don't have enough space to import an iPhoto Library that is more than 10 gigs.
But that's not importat right now.
You have the makings of a major problem and you need to address it now.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Aperture, iPhoto an iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
If you don't you will suffer data loss. I can't stress this enough.

Aperture/iPhoto - Use Unified Library or import iPhoto into Aperture?

So as it is June 30th, I've been forced into upgrading to Lion. Now I know I can take advantage of the Aperture/iPhoto unified library structure.
But should I?
I am new to Aperture and use it for photos starting in January 2012 going forward. I have already upgraded to Aperture 3.3. I am still currently running iPhoto 8.1.2 for photos from 2011 and earlier. My plan was to eventually import my iPhoto library into Aperture. Now it appears I don't have to.
So I'm standing at a crossroads and I'd like feedback. I have read some of the discussions where folks are having issues with migration with both avenues so I'd like to know which one makes more sense.
Should I upgrade to iPhoto 9.3? Should I keep each library separate? Should I merge? Should I import iPhoto into Aperture still and have one library going forward?
Looking for folks with some experience to give me guidance!
Thanks in advance!
Chrystal in TX

Merge them. When you upgrade to iPhoto 9.3 and Aperture 3.3 the programs use the same library format... you can open it in either one.
Note people rarely post feedback about something if it's working for them, so results will always be skewed toward the negative online. Still, it makes sense to have a backup before upgrading, as a general best practice.

How do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup?

how do i import an iPhoto library from a time machine backup? I did a back up and i formatted my machine. How do i get iphoto to be the same?

This screenshot shows how to restore a library from Time Machine.
There is NO importing necessary. One should never import one library into another. Just restore it to your Pictures folder and launch iPhoto.

I have just imported Iphoto library into aperture library, can I delete now the Iphoto Library ?

Hi, I have juste imported Iphoto library into Aperture Library (did a copy) - can I delete my Iphoto library as I won't use Iphoto anymore ?
Thanks Hélème

Helene,
Both of those things you pointed out are mere *metadata*.
When you imported your iPhoto library, since you did a copy, your libraries are completely independent.
When I was in your situation, I moved my iPhoto library to an external disk and then went to the Aperture library to see how it behaved, even though i was 99.99% sure my iPhoto and Aperture libraries were separate.

Aperture cannot import iPhoto library

I am unable to import iPhoto library into Aperture. It complains that the iPhoto version is older than 7.1.5 and thus not supported. However, I'm working with iPhoto version 9.4.3.
Any clues how to address this - rather odd... Just bought the software and have some urgent work to perform with it - so any quick helping advice would be great.
J

Jens,
which version of "Aperture Install Notes" are you referring to? Is your Aperture version the most recent donwload Aperture 3.4.5 from the AppStore? You need at least Aperture 3.3. to be able to share the libraries between iPhoto and Aperture and to use the iPhoto Library as your Aperture library.
Now, should I re-install Aperture and wipe the "imported library" to make sure I have a clean sharing between iPhoto and Aperture or does it not matter? I do not want to have double the copies
It is not necessary to reinstall Aperture, if you want to start over with a new Aperture library. The Aperture Application and the Aperture libraries are completely independent. You can simply trash the current Aperture library (by default it is in your "Pictures" folder and called Aperture Library.aplibrary). Only make sure, that your original iPhoto Library still contains all your photos. When you imported to an earlier version of Aperture, you may have moved your originals from iPhoto to Aperture. That is why I am concerned about your Aperture version.

Insufficient disk space on Aperture Library volume to import iphoto library

3 Importing iphoto library to Aperture questions:
(1) Finally switching to Aperture because too many photos to manage in iphoto. When importing iphoto library it gives me the message: Insufficient DIsk Space - "There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need an additional 83GB of free space."
The photos are all on an external drive which has 150GB free space. I also tried moving the aperture library to another hard drive which has lots of free space. I want the Aperture library to reside on the external drive so I can share it between my laptop and desktop.
I tried this at the apple store and it was going to work. I came home and it now says it needs 125GB free space. Is this a function of which computer you use to import the library? What can I do because I can't spend hours at the apple store if it may take that long to import all the photos from the library.
(2) Is there an optimum way to import a large library, rather than all at once?
(3)Used iphoto manager to create a project library from an iphoto library. Now have 2 good libraries to import, one with about 35k photos, the other with about 8k. The 8k will have some duplicates from the larger one. When I import that one I don't want to import duplicates, but do want to retain the organization and labeling of those duplicates in terms of which albums and events they are in. Is that possible?
Thanks!

Or use Aperture's built-in and suggested way to deal with the problem of a Library outgrowing your system drive: make many of your Image's Originals referenced rather than managed.
Aperture lets you store any Image's Original on any locally-mounted drive. Moving your Image's Originals from inside your Library (in which case they are "managed") to outside the Library (in which case they are "referenced") is easy -- as it moving them back.
The two main complications that arise from using Referenced Originals are:
- you must back up your Referenced Originals in addition to backing up your Library. Backing up your Library _does not_ back up your Referenced Originals
- you must not make any changes to your Referenced Originals with any program other than Aperture. _Do not_ use Finder to move, rename, etc.

HT5260 No option to import iPhoto library to Aperture

I have just upgraded to the latest versions of aperture and iphoto (on 6th July 2012) and upgraded both libraries as instructed. Now I want to import my iphoto library into Aperture but when I selelct File>Import there is no specific option to import iPhoto library. I've seen this can be greyed out on other posts but on my aperture it was not there at all as an option.
I tried just import>library instead and selected the iphoto library. Everything was imported without another dialogue box to avoid importing duplicates (of which there are 1000s).
Can anyone help please?
I've tried restarting by the way! I've also got all the latest updates via software update

If you have the latest version of both (iPhoto version 9.3 and Aperature 3.3) then you have no need to import the iPhoto library into Aperature as both iPhoto and Aperature can share the same library (so you do not duplicate your storage) -- http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5260

When I go into my backups and click on the iPhoto library it does not come up with an option to restore it just says open and of course then won't let me open it because it is a back up in time machine? I need these photo very important.
