Importing iphoto 6

I have imported all my pics the proper way into iphoto. the thing i didnt do is rename the roll the pics were going in, so the film rolls are recognized by numbers. is there anyway to rename the roll to a title once the roll is created in iphoto.
thanks

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Yes. Click on the roll icon and in the Title field at the Bottom of the Source window you can change the roll title. You can also change the date if necessary.

  • IMovie 08 hangs while trying to import iPhoto movies at the start.

    Hi guys,
    When I open Imovie 08, it asks me to import iphoto movies. Then it stays there for ages and never ends importing those movies. I know I can just skip this process but I want to edit those videos from iPhoto.
    I guess is some corrupted file it is trying to import what is causing this incident but I have no idea how to tell which is the "bad" file since iMovie doesn't give any information about it.
    Any clues?
    Thanks in advence

    Hi,
    I wouldn't say I have such a lot of movies in Iphoto but deffintely they are quite a few... anyway, I suspect it will never end because the timer gets bigger and bigger; and yes I left it running overnight with no luck.
    Is there any way to see in which video is iMovie having the problem? The other workarround means having to backup and delete videos randomly until I find "the bad one".
    Cheers.

  • 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.

  • Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G using iTunes question....

    New! Importing iPhoto files onto an iPhone 3G with iTunes question
    Posted: Aug 14, 2008 9:07 AM Reply Email
    So letme get this striaght...
    You first create an album in iPhoto 08 with just the images you want put onto your iPhone 3G.
    NEXT: you connect tou iPhone 3G and iTunews will open. You go to the iPhone in iTunes and select the photo tag and then select the album you had made for import and sync it with you iPhone. Will large image files automatically be resized for use on the iPhone 3G?
    Most of my .JPG files are from 4 -5 MB each in size. What will it do with a RAW image file?

    I am not 100% sure, but i BELIEVE that they do get resized because as it's syncing with the iPhone, iTunes will state that it is optimizing the selected photos for the iPhone, just like we would see for the iPod.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Can't Importing iPhoto '11 (version 9) into Aperture 3

    I have Aperture 3 and iPhoto '09. My father recently upgraded to iPhoto '11.
    I've successfully imported iPhoto '09 libraries in the past. But now my father has iPhoto '11 and gave me a small iPhoto library to import into my Aperture 3 collection (2 events, 109 pictures). I tried importing it using Import -> iPhoto Library...
    It looks to be importing the events (just 2), but them moves the events into the Trash and responds that it can't import the pictures. The trash contains the events and the thumbnails, but no reference to the master file. I get a dialog that says:
    "Import Items Completed with Errors, 0 items have been imported" then lists all 109 pictures and their file location in the original iPhoto library.
    I've tried using iPhoto Library Manager to convert it down to iPhoto 8 and import, but it still doesn't work. Using that path, I can open the converted library in iPhoto '09 and use the iPhoto library browser in Aperture I can copy the events. But I loose all the face recognition, and albums that he built.
    I'm using Aperture 3.1.1 on an Intel MacBook running 10.6.5.
    Any suggestions?

    Can't sort by date in the Library pane but if you click the Projects icon (in the Library pane), the resulting project icons in the viewer can be sorted by date.

  • Trying to import IPhoto 6.06 into Aperture 3.0 But Import Button Disabled

    I'm trying to import my iphoto 6.0.6 library into aperture 3.0. I was planning to leave the photos in place. I'm using file->import->iphoto library. Then I've entered store files in current location and do not import duplicates.
    The problem is that not matter how I set the parameters in the import dialog the import button is never enabled.
    How do I get the import button to enable?

    It would be helpful if the iPhoto version limitation was stated somewhere.
    So, then are there any options for importing from earlier version of iPhoto into Aperture 3?

  • Import iPhoto Title as Aperture Version Name?

    QUESTION: How do you import your iPhoto library such that the Titles you've applied in iPhoto become the Version Names in Aperture?
    DETAILS: Upon import, Aperture ignores my custom iPhoto Titles ("Lunch at Summit", for example) and replaces them with the original file name (DSCF2966, for example). I hate looking at a screen full of DSCxxxxx names. Worse, I've spent a lot of time titling my pictures in iPhoto. I don't want to lose that work.
    BACKGROUND: In iPhoto, I typically Batch Change a just-imported set of photos, setting the Title to nothing. Then I give meaningful names to pictures that I care about titling. This way, I reduce visual clutter on the photo display; any title text I see is there because I typed it in. When I try this trick in Aperture, it displays "<untitled>" for any pictures I remove the camera's DSCxxxxx from.
    QUESTION 2: Is it a bad idea to get rid of the camera DSCxxxx Version Names?
    I've experimented with the Import settings, searched these forums, the web, and the Aperture help files, to no avail.
    Thanks!
    David Long

    Kirby, thanks for your helpful response. I just experimented with the Version Name field in the iPhoto import dialog and found that setting Version Name to Version Name in the
    File-->Import-->iPhoto Library...
    import dialog still does not preserve the Titles from iPhoto.
    However, using
    File-->Import-->Show iPhoto Browser...
    DOES preserve the iPhoto Titles. Unfortunately, this method loses much of the Places information in the iPhoto library. I describe which Places info gets lost in this forum post:
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11229662#11229662
    So, this leaves us with a conundrum:
    -If we use the "Show iPhoto Browser..." method to import, we retain our Titles but lose our Faces and Places data.
    -If we use the "Import-->iPhoto Library..." method, we retain [most of] our Places and Faces data, but completely lose our Titles from iPhoto.
    Either way, we lose some of the metadata work we put into our iPhoto library.
    Anybody know a solution to this problem?

  • 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.
    Regards

  • Importing iPhoto to Aperture, retouches done in iPhoto error

    I seem to have a bit of strange problem with modified pictures after they are imported in A3.
    I am using Iphoto 8.1.1 and have just bought Aperture 3. I decided to import all my iphoto pictures using the import iphoto library function.
    I noticed that all images that had (in iphoto) been edited using the retouch function to reduce blemishes have problems in Aperture. The problem appears to be where the brush was used is now pixilated in that area and it just looks like a cluster of "noise". This only seems to happen when I used the import iphoto library. I tried to replicate the issue importing some of the same pictures individually and there was no issue. Than I made a new library tried to import iphoto library and same issue ones again. Exporting the picture out of aperture keeps this error. It's quite a worry as I have several hundred of these pictures and I am not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

    You didn't do anything wrong at import. The master file is whatever you imported, be it jpeg or png or something else. Neither iPhoto nor Aperture actually change your import in any way. Its stored exactly as when imported. So if you wish to discard the iPhoto retouches and then import from iPhoto you can.
    That is not what you wanted to do but I cant suggest a fix.

  • Can't import iphoto to new Photos, asking for 1TB additional space?? common

    Basiclay yestarday i decided to upgrade to new ISO, a big mistake, photos that i use for work are on my external harddrive iPhotos to which i can get access after upgrade.
    I googled the problem and basiclay all i had to do is import iphoto to new Photos, sounds easy, except it takins so slow, im mean realy slow, anyway, leave computer over night on, to comback this monring it stuck on 8% and asking for addition 1 TB of space.
    My questions is how to i downgrade it  to old versión cos i need photos now.
    where do i suspose to find extra 1 TB of space which i dont have, or i have to buy new hdd?? also how it come up with 1TB since my photos take half of that maybe more....
    Its so silly to me, besucase seems like wasnt though throrowly for people who have big iphoto librarys
    i would like to know if any solution here or i need new hdd? i use my passport ultra 2TB
    best reagds
    ps - i use macbook pro retina, os x yosemite 10.10.3

    googled the problem and basiclay all i had to do is import iphoto to new Photos, sounds easy, except it takins so slow, im mean realy slow, anyway,
    How have you tried to do that?
    You don't have to import iPhoto to Photos, you have to open she iPhoto Libray in Photos.
    Either drag the iPhoto Library (not the application) onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Or launch Photos while holding down the alt/options key to select your iPhoto Library for migration.
    Where i your iPhoto library stored? On an external drive or your system drive?

  • IPhoto 7 importing iPhoto 6 data: way too many images

    In iPhoto 7 (aka iPhoto '08) on 10.4.10 MBP, I mounted a hard drive with data from another Mac (using iPhoto 6, 10.3.9); this library has about 32,000 items. On import, iPhoto 7 sees 47,000+ images! The pics it's importing look like deleted and un-rotated ones - aargh! (:-( Please tell me it's not importing deleted, recovered and otherwise unwanted or duplicate images.

    mactester:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. As TD pointed out if you imported the V6 library either via the menu or by dragging the library into the open iPhoto 7 window you'll get every image file in the library.
    iPhoto Library Manager will copy the rolls or albums from one to another library and keep the metadata intact. HOWEVER, both libraries must be at the save version. So you'll need to upgrade that other library by opening it with iPhoto 7 and doing the converting. Then iPLM can copy the photos to the primary library like this.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto 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.
    I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), 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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

  • Puzzled How to Import iPhoto Library

    I have an existing iPhoto library. I go to File > Import > iPhoto Library... and select the Pictures/iPhoto Library folder. I then press Import, which presumably begins the process, but instead, it opens the folder (i.e., in the Finder pane of the file picker, it was showing Pictures and iPhoto Library with iPhoto Library highlighted. clicking "Import" shows iPhoto Library and its contents with nothing highlighted).
    So, my question is, how to I tell Aperture 3.0.1 to import my iPhoto 6 library? It seems nobody else is having this problem or it'd be all over this forum and/or Google. What am I doing wrong?
    Thanks

    I am also having issues importing an iphoto library into Aperture:
    Yawwwwwnnn said that iphoto 6 won't import. News to me and now that I'm well informed, if this is in fact the case, what do I do? Upgrade at cost to Iphoto 8 for the privilege of importing into $200 worth of new software?
    Hope not. I guess the key is doing less than a truckload import of files but as I just installed, my options are not clear. Any comments pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Failure to import iPhoto library into Aperture 3

    I am trying out a trial version of Aperture 3. When I tried to import my iPhoto Library into Aperture (and into the Aperture folder) I get an error message saying that it cannot import iPhoto libraries if they are in a version of iPhoto that is older than 7.1.5.
    I have a brand new computer and I have the most recent version of iPhoto so what is this all about?
    LD

    Keep in mind you need to select the iphoto library. To make sure you have selected it should be highlighted in gray.
    You may run into additional trouble importing if the library is large. Here is the thread with a crude resolution.
