Importing iPhone photos into Aperture?

Hey, I moved my iPhoto Library into Aperture and consolidated or whatever it's called, so I've made the full move I think to Aperture, since iPhoto is really bloated and I like Aperture more, so I deleted my iPhoto Library.
Now in iPhoto, it sort of made it easy for my to just plug in my iPhone and import any new photos, ignoring whatever I already imported, and it would save whatever photos I took to a corresponding date/event, and then it would also put those photos in a smart album for my iPhone.
Now I'm still new to Aperture and I want to know how can I plug in my iPhone and import new pictures into Aperture which would put it as a new event, ignoring whatever I already took because right now when I do Import it shows all the current pictures taken with my iPhone, and I only want whatever picture that hasn't already been imported, and then it would put them in my iPhone 3GS smart album (pics taken with 3GS go there).
Is there any way to do this? Aperture is a really neat program and I've already set it up with iTunes to sync the photos back to my iPhone.
Here is a screenshot of my current setup on Aperture, I'm still a bit confused on how to do everything on this so I am learning! All the help given will be very appreciated

There is a Check Box on the import panel that gives the option Do Not Import Duplicates. Ensure this is checked. Allan

  • When importing iPad photos into Aperture, I cannot import into an existing album, only create a new project.

    I dont want to create a new project for every group of photos being brought over from my iPad. My iPhone worked perfectly. I was able to choose which project/album I could import into, why would the iPad, running the same iOS, be any different?

    Hi Dave,
    Welcome to the user-support Aperture discussion forum.
    You would probably benefit from reading Kirby's introduction: [http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=13124533&stqc=true]
    Is there any way to simply import photos into those albums without having to create all of those annoying projects?
    That's a loaded question. It's not "yes or no" according to exactly how you asked it.
    You do not have to create a new project for each import, but every picture lives in exactly 1 project. You can then point to any photo from any number of albums. You cannot put a photo directly into an album because an album does not contain photos, it only contains "pointers" to photos.
    So, you, as the user, have the ability to put your imports into an existing project. Why are you creating a new project every time?

  • Import legacy photos into Aperture 3 from iPhoto?

    By way of background I have a 20” iMac bought January 2007 which I soon plan to replace with a new 27” iMac. I expect to purchase Aperture 3 with the new iMac and to commence using it to edit my photographic images. With my  present iMac I use iPhoto for storing many thousands of digital images. My iPhoto Library is divided into many sub-libraries which I manage using iPhoto Library Manager. I currently use Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac for editing my images.
    My question concerns what I should do with my present images when I obtain the new iMac. My understanding is that I can either leave them as is within iPhoto or import them into Aperture 3. I don’t have enough information to know which would be the best way to go. My initial reaction is to leave them as is because I don’t know whether the iPhoto Library Manager system is compatible with the Aperture 3 system. I would not want to import thousands of my current images into Aperture 3 and end up with a disorganized mess on my hands.
    I’m hoping that somebody with applicable experience with Aperture 3 can advise me on his issue.
    Bob

    There's no such thing as an "iPhoto Library Manager system". They are just iPhoto Libraries and can be imported to Aperture. As to whether you should or should not? That's up to you. I strongly urge you to download the trial of Aperture from the Apple site and explore before making any decisions. There's a significant learning curve coming over from iPhoto.

  • Can't import iPhone photos into iPhoto because of permission...

    I go in iPhoto, click on the iphone then click on import all and then I get this error message which i will translate from French.
    ''iPhoto ne peut pas importer vos photos dans cette photothèque car iPhoto ne peut pas y accéder.''
    iPhoto can not import your photos in this library because iPhoto can not access it.
    Then it says : Repair your library authorisation in iPhoto.
    So i tried to cmdaltclick on iphoto and repair permissions...but it doesn't work.

  • Hi, I have trouble loading my iPhone 5 photos into Aperture. The iPhone icon appears in the import window, but the images won't show up in the loading window.

    Do your images show, if you disable the option "Do not import duplicates"? If yes, then check, if the images have already been imported, eg. using Photo Stream, if you are using Aperture 3.3 or later.

  • I have imported all photos and videos from my iPhone 5S into Aperture ver.3.4.5 and now cannot find them. I thought I could open a panel showing all imports and merely list them chronologically, but I don't see how to do this.

    I have imported all photos and videos from my iPhone 5S into Aperture ver.3.4.5 and now cannot find them. I thought I could open a panel showing all imports and merely list them chronologically, but I don't see how to do this.  There are over 1800 photos and about 100 videos, any help to locate where they've gone would be appreciated.

    Try to search with a Smart Album for photos and videos taken with an iPhone:
         File > New > Smart Album:
    Add an EXIF rule fro the "Add Rule" drop down menu: EXIF
    and set it to "Camera Model includes iPhone".
    Set the scope of the search to "Library"
    If there are any iPhone images or videos in your library at all, this search should find them.  Then ctrl-click any of the items and select "Show in Project" from the contextual menu.
    Generally, Aperture should be showing your last import in the "Last Import" smart album in the "recent" section". And the "projects" view can be sorted by date, so you should see your recent imports.
    You may want to check all search fields, if searches are active.

  • When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

    When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

    Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
    Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
    Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

  • How do I get imported iPhoto photos into iPhone Photostream

    I imported a photo into iPhoto.  If I click on it, click actions and share to Photostream, I get a message saying it is already in Photostream.  Yet, it does not show up in the iPhoto Photostream folder on my Mac. Nor does it show up in my iPhone Photostream folder. I believe I have iCloud set up properly on both devices and have configured iPhoto correctly.  What am I missing?  Is there something I can do to force a sync?

    Hi John..
    You can force Photo Stream to sync ...
    On your Mac open System Preferences > iCloud. Deselect the box next to Photo Stream, then reselect it, then restart your Mac.
    On your iPhone tap Settings > iCloud > Photo Stream. Toggle the button off then back on then restart the iPhone.
    Restart your device: Hold the power button until "slide to power off" appears.  Slide to power off.  After it is off, press the power button to turn it back on.

  • Help-how do you move iphone photos into iphoto on iMac??

    I have 4,814 photos in my iphoto library (categorized into 114 events). On my iphone 4, I have 1,028 photos taken exclusively with the phone. Can someone tell me how to get all of my iphone photos into my iphoto library on my iMac?
    Thanks----

    Never mind..figured it out. Just in case anyone else is dense like me, just plug iphone into iMac, then launch iphoto. In iphoto, the iphone will be listed on the left as a device and all your iphone photos will show up to the right. Simply click import at the bottom of the screen and you're on your way.

  • Suddenly can't import any photos into iPhoto!

    Suddenly and inexplicably, I cant import any photos into my iPhoto program. iPhoto has worked fine for years. Now, all of a sudden, no matter how I try to import them (either from my desktop, or from my digital camera), I get the error message: Couldn't create: /Volumes/name of external drive/iPhoto Library/2006/08/21/name of photo. When I click "OK" on the error message dialogue box, I then get the error message "Unreadable files: 1 The following files could not be imported (they may be an unrecognized file type or the files may not contain valid data)." I am reasonably certain that of the 250 or so J-Peg photos I'm presently trying to import, from 2 different cameras, ALL of them can't be corrupt.
    First, I tried repairing my disk permissions on my G4. Then, I tried reinstalling iLife 5.0.2. Then I tried reinstalling the OSX 10.3.9 combo pack, and iPhoto 5.0.4. Then I tried again repairing my disk permissions with disk utility. All proved useless to solve the problem.
    I also tried dragging my iPhoto preferences to the trash. But I found to my horror that this action completely obliterates all of my iPhoto albums and photo groupings. I did not attempt to import any new photos once I discovered this, as I was fearful doing so might render my loss of my albums permanent. So I retrieved my old preferences from the trash, thus saving my albums and groupings, but also keeping the original importing problem.
    What can I do to fix this importing problem without obliterating my albums and groupings? Lots of work has gone into the grouping and categorizing of my albums and photos. Though it would be easy to reimport all of my photos, I would not want to begin to take the time to recreate all of my albums and groupings from scratch. Is there any way these groupings can be preserved? If not, there should be! It's idiotic to think that Apple might not consider all of the time the grouping of albums and songlists represents to the typical user of iPhoto or iTunes.
    Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

    I've found a solution to this problem, thankfully. But it didn't come via rebuilding the iPhoto library.
    I didn't want to to a manual rebuild of my original iPhoto library, since I was cautioned that it would involve losing my albums and all notations and filings I'd made concerning my photos. Before I first tinkered with the library, I made a backup copy of the original-defective library onto another external drive. Then I did one more complete "automatic rebuild" of the original/defective library, and found to my horror that the library wouldn't even open any more. It would send up an error message when I'd try to click on it's icon to open the library.
    I went back to the backup copy of my iPhoto library (containing all of my albums, groupings, and etc.) and did what I hadn't thought to do in the first place: I simply attempted to import photos (my original difficulty) into this backup iPhoto library. It worked perfectly!!! All photos imported into this backed up copy as if it were the original. And now that I have trashed my "original" and totally defective former iPhoto library, this backup copy is now my new iPhoto library.
    I guess whatever was wrong with the old library was shaken out just by making a backup copy. I'm afraid that's about as technical an explanation as I can offer. But maybe doing the same process will help another of you suffering from a similar problem with importing photos. Anyway, a hearty thanks to everyone who responded to this original query of mine. Mac users are truly the best!!! Cheers!

  • 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.

  • After I import the photos into light room from a folder, the deveop module cannot be accessed? What can I do to process those photos that are on my hard driive?

    After I import the photos into light room from a folder, the deveop module cannot be accessed? What can I do to process those photos that are on my hard driive?

    If you are using a standalone version of Lightroom, you may have updated with the CC-licensed update. That will not work. If this is your situation then it will be necessary for you to uninstall Lightroom and then install an update from a different website. Assuming that you are using Lightroom 5, this is where you need to download from:
    Product updates
    After you make the change you will be able to continue from where you left off. The switchover does not affect your images or your catalog.

  • How can I import newer photos into 7.1.5?

    My daughter burned a cd of photos from her version of iPhoto "09", 8.1.2 for me.
    I am using 7.1.5 and iPhoto will not allow me to import the photos into my library. When I try this there is an alert saying I can't import this version - then my only option is to quit iPhoto!
    HELP, is there a work around???

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
    1 -open the CD by clicking on it.
    2 - open the folder titled "Library" by double clicking on it.
    3 - drag the "Originals" folder to the Desktop.
    4 - launch iPhoto and drag the Originals folder from the Desktop into iPhoto's open window.
    This will import just the original photo files in the same Rolls as they were in your daughter's library. You WILL NOT get any of the keywords, titles or modified versions of those photos.
    OT
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    NOTE: this is not the same as routinely backing up your entire iPhoto library folder to protect your photos. It only protects the loss of your organizational efforts that the database file contains.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    NOTE: The new rebuild option in iPhoto 09 (v. 8.0.2), Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" makes this tip obsolete.

  • Can I import a photo into a specific event folder?

    When I import a photo into iPhoto 11 it goes into the latest import folder.
    Then I have to drag these photos all over the event screen to get them into the folder I want
    Is there a way to get iPhoto to import into a specific event folder?
    Sorry if this is basic but I don't know the answer
    TIA
    Mark

    Greetings Mark,
    When you import photos into iPhoto they go into Events on the left hand side.  They also temporarily show up in the Last Import section but this changes each time you do an import.
    Events are created based on when you import the images.  You cannot control which event the images go into as this process is handled by iPhoto in the background.  You can move images from one event to another if you like once the import is complete.
    If you use Albums (type in the word Albums in the help menu for more details) you could drag images from the desktop directly into an Album and that image will be added.
    You might find this help menu video on Events useful: http://support.apple.com/kb/VI187
    Hope that helps.
