Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled, not in numerical, chronological or any order. Whats up?

Imports from my memory card to Aperture have suddenly become scrambled. Not in numerical, chronological, or any order.

Hi waynecook.  More information is needed in order to provide a helpful response.
What settings are you using in the Import dialog?
Can you sort the images once they are imported?
Are they sorted/sortable in the Import dialog?
Into what container are you importing them?
Is your installation of Aperture and of OS X completely up-to-date?

  • Canon MP560 how to scan/import from a memory card

    I'm connected via Airport Express, printing and scanning is fine. I have installed the last update I can find (mp560sosxcp103030ea8-2). I want to import picture from a Compact Flash memory card, the printer perfectly read the card.

    You may need to check the Advanced Guide for your MP560. This is part of the On-screen manual you can download from the Canon web site. Here is a link from the Canon Australia web site.
    http://support-au.canon.com.au/contents/AU/EN/0300237701.html
    The reason I suggest you check the guide is that according to the Guide for my MP980, the Card Slot cannot be used over a network for Mac OS X 10.5, and presumably 10.6. It functions fine when the printer is connected directly to the Mac via USB. But if you have the machine connecting via wireless to the Express, then it may not function. But given your model is a year newer than mine, maybe this limitation is no longer present. So, check the manual to confirm.

  • Why does Lightroom 5.2 & my mac crash on import from a memory card reader?

    I'm running Lightroom 5.2 on my iMac (OS X v 10.7.5).
    When I try to upload raw files from my Compact Flash memory card reader (Lexar USB 3.0) the files begin to download. When it gets part way through download the download stops and I get the spinning wheel of death.
    No matter what I try I cannot get Lightroom to shutdown or even the computer to shut down.
    My only option is to disconnect the computer from the power.
    When I re-start the images are downloaded but I do have to start from where I had left off to complete the download.
    Does anyone have any idea's what I should do?
    This computer has never run Lightroom before so I do not have a previous version of it on the HD.
    Cheers

    Go to this page: http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/camcorders/high_definition_camcor ders/vixia_hf_r20_black#DriversAndSoftware
    1. Download the drivers and/or other software required for the OS version you're running.
    2. Install the downloaded software/drivers.
    3. Restart your computer.
    4. Insert the memory card into your card reader.
    5. Copy the entire contents of the card to your media drive - do NOT  alter the folder structure.
    6. Launch FCP and use Log & Transfer on the files on your media drive.

  • Unable to import masters from a memory card

    Hi,
    As always I wanted to add a new project with incrementally new RAW files from my SD memory card. I have the photo management system the image master files (RAWS) are stored in Pictures folder on the HDD. The import dialogue enables to select a destination folder to Pictures as usual, but it doesn't show Move or Copy files option anymore. Without this, it just imports images as referenced images to the ones placed on the memory card, which I subsequently can't format, because, I'd lost all the photos. Move or Copy files option shows up when I pick other import source than memory card, eg. my HDD. I tried everything, can't figure this out. I find Aperture unreliable now and will move to Adobe Lightroom, if won't find a solution. Can you please help me on this one? Thanks.
    Kind regards,
    Unge
    Mid-2009 Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.3, Aperture 3.5.1

    No problem
    Let me put it this way. I want the Pictures folder to be my master library. When importing from a memory card, I'd like to:
    1) Select a subset of images, which are new since last import (via "Do not import duplicates")
    2) Create new project with timestamp = new Pictures subdolder and physically copy selected images (originals) from the card to the respective subfolder.
    That is what Aperture does.
    I just tried again these settings:  It does not matter that the "Move, copy" buttons are not shown, because Aperture will always copy from a card.
    With these settings Aperture will create a folder in Pictures named "2014- 06-04" or similar and copy all imported images to this folder.  Isn't this what you want to do?
    2) Create new project with timestamp = new Pictures subdolder and physically copy selected images (originals) from the card to the respective subfolder.
    I want to clean install the OS and the app (with loosing all the ratings, places, versions...) just as a last option.
    In Aperture 3.5.1 the import is handled slightly different from previous versions. You will not get the old behaviour back reinstalling either OS or Aperture.
    But even reinstalling Aperture and MAcOS X will not erase your ratings, Faces, etc., since these Metadata are stored in the Aperture Library and not in the Aperture application.

  • How do I remove photos from memory card after I have uploaded photos?

    We have iPhoto 11.  How do delete photos from a memory card after they have been uploaded in to iPhoto?
    Thanks.

    delete the iPhoto preference file
    HOWEVER a best practice to is to never have any computer program (including iPhoto) delete the photos from the card but to import the photos and keep them and then after at least one successful backup cycle has completed and then reformat the card --  I use three very large (32 GB) cards in rotation so I do not reformat for typically a year or more giving me one more long term backup of my photos
    If you continue letting the computer delete your photos you will lose them sooner or later
    You pays your money and makes your choice - but you are playing a very risky game with no rewards

  • Mera, (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view.  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help?

    I tried to download my pictures with my memory card from my camera (this has always been sucessful) however the pictures would not download, and appear to be encrypted and unable to view, also not saved in my 'Iphotos'  This also erased the pictures from the memory card. Help.....anyway of retrieving them?

    With the amount of information you've provided it's impossible to offer a potential solution.  We can't see your computer so we need to know the details of your problem and setup, i.e.:
    what version of iPhoto are you using?
    what system version are you running?
    did you get a message when trying to import from the memory card?
    did you use a card reader?
    what was you exact workflow for attempting the import?
    what fixes have you tried?
    where is your library located?
    did you apply any updates or upgrades just prior to the problem occurring?
    are you running a "managed" or "referenced" library? See image below:
    what type of Mac?
    how much free space on your boot drive?

  • How do I delete photos from my ipad that have been imported directly from a memory card.

      I have searched loads of forums and they all talk about using itunes to delete photos, but this seems to only apply to photos that orginated from a PC. The photos I am trying to delete were loaded directly on to my ipad from a memory card and don't appear in itunes. I know I can delete photos individually on my ipad but I have hundreds of them, The only option I have found that comes close to what I want to do is back-up ipad, delete photos I don't want to restore (not sure where to find back up or how to delete), rebuild ipad and restore -  this seems a long winded way of doing something that would take less than a minute in windows. I have an ipad1 and am running windows 7 on a standards Windows PC.
    Many Thanks in anticipation that someone will be able to help me
    Regards
    Keith

    Photos copied to the iPad via the camera connection kit (and those taken with the iPad or saved from emails/websites etc) should appear in Windows Explorer on a PC so you should be able to delete them from there - those types of photos should make the iPad appear as a camera to your computer. You should also be able to delete them at the end of the photo import process via, for example, the camera wizard.

  • I updated my Macbook Pro last week to Lion.  I went to go import pictures from a memory card to my iPhoto, but only a portion of them loaded before my iPhoto froze and I had to Force Quit it. Now iPhoto won't even open... Help!

    Please! I need an answer fast!!!!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

    If you didn't import them to Photos or copy them to the hard drive there will be no way to recover them. 
    How did you view them?

  • We are using iPhoto '09 trying to import photos from  a memory card.  We stopped the import and ejected the card over 20 hours ago, but iPhoto says its still importing.  Any idea how long the import should run if there were 5000 photos on the card?

    Don't know how long it would take to import that many photos but if you stopped import and ejected the card ther is something else wrong here.
    I would Force Quit iPhoto. Then Restart your mac. Then restart iphoto to see if any or all of your photos were imported. If they ae you're good to go. If they were not imported I would try importing fewer photos at a time and see what happens.

    Have you closed and restarted Lightroom since you checked that box?

  • Error -36 when trying to copy photos from new memory card to mac hd? HELP!! very important photos!

    bought a new memory card, took 700+ photos, i can preview the videos (.mov) in finder and can see the thumbnail preview of the photos (.nef) but cannot open the photos larger in preview or copy any of the videos/photos to the hd. I can open the photos in photoshop directly from memory card but cant copy or move photos/videos from memory card to mac hd. (error -36 pops up..something about the file cant be read) please help!

    I took the memory card back to best buy and the geek squad was able to help me fortunately by putting all of my pic files onto one of their PCs and then putting all my pics back onto a NEW memory card; then we plugged the new memory card into the computer and transferred the files seamlessly. Apparently there was some kind of issue with the way my memory card was formatted. I now put my new memory card into my camera, format it (very easily done with the in camera menu), and take a few test shots and transfer the pics to my computer before doing anything valuable with it. Thankfully all of my files were not damaged.
    *BEWARE!! DO NOT FORMAT YOUR MEMORY CARD WHILE YOU HAVE PICS ON IT AS IT WILL CAUSE ALL PICS TO BE DELETED! IF YOU HAVE VALUABLE PICTURES TRANSFER THE ENTIRE DCIM FOLDER TO ANOTHER COMPUTER, THEN ERASE MEMORY CARD AND FORMAT IT, YOU THEN MAY BE ABLE TO PUT THE DCIM FOLDER BACK ON THE SAME MEMORY CARD AND USE IT SUCCESSFULLY. IF YOU STILL CANT USE THAT SAME MEMORY CARD YOU CAN TRY THE SAME PROCESS BUT AT THE END PUT THE FOLDER ONTO A NEW MEMORY CARD INSTEAD.
    Hope this helps someone =)

    Does this involve iPhoto in some way? If so, try using the Force Quit command. It's under the Apple Menu.

  • Uploading photos from camera memory card are being duplicated

    Hi,
    When loading phoots into iphoto from a memory card we are getting two images of the same photo (same identifier as well) into the iphoto event. I've looked over many previous threads and have unticked the duplicate options in preferences/advanced, but this isn't making any difference. Any further tips?
    Thanks.

    provide details if you want help
    The general answser is that iPhoto does not in any case duplicate photos during import - one wild guess given that you provide absoluely no information at all would be that you have a new DLSR and have set it to shoot RAW plus JPEG so you are creating two copies of each photo which iPhoto will most certainly import - if that is it the solution is to set the camera correctly to either RAW or JPEG
