  • Apperture allows you to import two photos with the same name

    I have two different Sony Cameras and Apperture has allowed me to import photos from both without a problem however after changing to 1.5 it will not allow me to back them up to an external drive because the drive thinks that the other one is open and that it is duplicated. For example the file name DSC2134 has been saved at different times with different cameras but if I try to back up to my exyternal drive it just hangs up my entire computer. I thought the backup was slow but after 24 hours it still had not moved and would not even allow me to force quit. I had to turn my mac off. If I move each photo one by one it will say that my second photo is a duplicate - even if I have renamed the second version. How do I batch rename? How do I rebuild my library?
    I moved to Apperture to get out of all the problems with iphoto now I seem to be back at the begining.

    Rhian,
    Aperture stores everything in its index table with a master filename as a key. This key may be the incoming filename or a user designated name.
    Images are imported into a Project, and OSX naming conventions demand that within a folder, names are unique. However, OS X allows multiple occurences of the same name in different folders. And so does Aperture.
    When you exported, it sounds like you exported the dups to the same folder? It sounds like Aperture should have identified this error condition and presented a dialog box to ignore/replace .... obviously it didn't and I suggest that is a program defect.
    To remove dups., sort on filename or date/time stamp and delete the offending image.
    BTW, with multiple cameras available to us, it is quite reasonable to expect two distinctly unique images with the same name. Duplicating the name is not necessarily duplicating the image. So I am for Aperture allowing dups. - providing it also allows me to rename, which it does. At the image level, true dups. should show up at the date/time stamp level. That's why sorting on date/time is a useful tool.

  • I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder

    I have copied many photo's from another laptop to my Mac.  The older photo's are in directories with names that help me select what I need to view. I would like to have all my imported new photo's also bee added to the directory structure I have in Finder but my new photo's are all in iPhoto.  I want to use directories for storing and iPhoto for viewing.  Is this possible or do I need to have all my photo's in iPhoto??

    iPhoto is not a Photo Viewer. It's a Photo Manager and designed for looking after the files while you organise the Photos. It really works much better if you let it manage those files. If you use iPhoto you never go near those files because iPhoto is your start point for anything you want to do with your Photos - the point of the pplication.
    You can run iPhoto in Referenced mode, where it does not copy the files to the Library, but I caution you that you are making life a lot more difficult for yourself by doing that.
    How to, and some comments on why you shouldn't, are in this thread

  • My photo albums used to be sorted by name now they are sorted by date (ipod touch ) any ideas?

    my photo albums on my ipod touch
    were sorted by name now they are sorted by date taken .I didn't change any settings on my computer any ideas?

    You're in the Photo Mode with Event Titles displayed so you are looking at events.  But in this mode you can only sort the photos within the Events, not the Events.
    Go to the Events mode and there you can sort the events by: date, title or manually:
    FWIW albums arew those items in the left hand pane:

  • I'm not really a computer guy.Just got a Kodak easy share camera. When I  import the photos, they go to the area with my name in a file with the date. How can I move them to iphoto, or even better, import them directly to iphoto??

    I'm not really a computer guy. I just got a Kodak"easy share" camera. When I import the photos they go to the section with my name in a folder. How do I get them from there to iphoto, or better yet, how can i import them directly to iphoto?? As stated, I'm not knowledgable,have an imac and need real rudimentary direction.

    in the iPhoto preferences be sure the action when camera is connected is open iPhoto
    What program are you using to import the photos?
    If they are in a folder you can drag that folder onto the iPhoto icon in the dock to import - our launch iPhoto and under the file menu import from that folder
    For real rudimentary directions try the iPhoto tutorials - and it would be a worthwhile investment of time to take the iphoto tutorials - http://www.apple.com/findouthow/photos/ - they are very helpful and will save you a lot of time and frustration. for the concepts - actual commands mya have shanged in some cases - and under the iPhoto help menu ==> iPhoto help - watch the videos there

  • Imports Photos from one user name to another

    We have two user profiles on my IMac (myself and my wife).  Each has a separate IPhoto.  My wife has imported some of our photos into her IPhoto, while I have imported others into mine.  How can I import/share the photos between the user names so that we can have ALL the photos in the same IPhoto folder?

    For iPhoto 09 (version 8.0.2) and later:
    What you mean by 'share'.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane. And vice versa
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
    If you want the other user to have the same access to the library as you: to be able to add, edit, organise, keyword etc.
    First you'll need to merge the two Libraries. The only way to do this is with the paid ($20) version of
    iPhoto Library Manager
    Quit iPhoto in both accounts. Move the Library to the Users / Shared Folder
    (You can also use an external HD set to ignore permissions, a Disk Image or even partition your Hard Disk.)
    In each account in turn: Double click on the Library to open it. (You may be asked to repair the Library Permissions.) From that point on, this will be the default library location. Both accounts will have full access to the library, in fact, both accounts will 'own' it.
    However, there is a catch with this system and it is a significant one. iPhoto is not a multi-user app., it does not have the code to negotiate two users simultaneously writing to the database, and trying will cause db corruption. So only one user at a time, and back up, back up back up.

  • Problem when importing two photo galleries with the same name. Please Help!

    Hi Guys,
    I'm not a pro in dreamweaver so I would appreciate if your answer wouldn't be too technical...
    Anyway I have experienced a problem. Heres the sotory, I have been making a websie in DW and used Adobe Bridge CS5 to create a photo gallery SWF file that I would use for my website. The problem is that I want to use two different photo galleries on two different pages however when I save my second photo gallery in bridge, it saves every file with the exact name as the first photo gallery I created and is working fine... Thus when I try to import the photo gallery files into my website folder structure, I find that it asks me to rename them because the files from the first photo gallery are called the exact same names.. Now obviously when I try to rename them dreamweaver gets confused and goes to the wrong folder and uses the images from my first photo gallery in the second one.
    So I guess my question is how can I organize my folder structure to be able to import multiple galleries without dreamweaver getting confused because bridge names all the files the same. Or how could I save the files through bridge so that they have different names and will work fine when I import into DW...
    Thanks and sorry for the essay,
    Patrick

    #1 You cannot have two files / folders or galleries with the same name.  Redo your image Galleries with different names.
    #2 SWF (flash) is not visible to iPhone, iPad, iTouch, Android or other web devices that don't support Flash Player.  These users will see nothing.  You might wish to explore other photo gallery / slideshow options that rely on jQuery instead of Flash technology.  Some links below.  A Google search will reveal many others.

  • When importing photos with iBooks Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the imported photo?

    When importing photos with the iBooks Author Gallery widget, is anyone aware of a technique for simultaneously importing the photo's description (or jpeg file name) and writing it into the iBook Author caption field for the corresponding imported photo? I have 4,800 stills to import and can't imagine it's necessary to copy and paste the description for each.

    As always, feel free to use the 'Provide iBooks Author Feedback' menu item for features you'd like added in the future, etc.

  • Help with importing photos - IPhoto assigning file names that already exist

    When I import photos from my canon powershot camera, IPhoto has begun assigning file names that are the same as filenames that already exist on photos imported previously. It appears it is deleting those older files (when I go look in my photo library, the older one with the same name is now gone).
    I don't know how to name photos as they are imported as it seems to be done automatically and I'm afraid to import more photos and loose my old pics. Can't find anything on the internet when I search on this question - can anyone help?

    Thanks so much for your quick reply, TD.
    What happens when I plug in my camera is that Iphoto opens, asks me if I want to import photos (and if I want to delete originals), and I click okay or whatever and they are imported. I name the roll/folder, and I photo puts them in the library in that folder in that year.
    It makes sense that the camera is numbering them. I think that the ones it is using the same numbers for (ie - IMG0080.jpg) are the numbers on older photos that were assigned by a different camera that we used to have.
    So I guess the canon isn't searching on all photo names that have been used, just the ones that it has used in the past.
    Unfortunately, when the new photo is named with the same name as an old one, that old one is literally deleted - at least as far as I can tell - and when I go look for it in my photo library, it is no longer there.
    I might try to see if there are any help forums for the canon powershot and see what I might learn there.
    THanks so much for your help!

  • Elements 10 / Folder Mode sorts files in "file name" order; is there a way to do this in Elements 11

    Elements 10 / Folder Mode sorts files in "file name" order; is there a way to do this in Elements 11

    No not automatically.
    You can p-lace them into an album and then choose Album Order from the dropdown menu and they will remain fixed.

  • How to import my photos to Photos libray with the same folder name?

    how to import my photos to Photos libray with the same folder name?

    You can import  a folder of photos to the Photos.app by dragging the folder onto the Photos icon in the Dock. That will open an Import panel, and you can select to import all photos from the folder. But the folder name will be lost.
    The photos will appear in the "Last Import" album. Select them all in the Last Import and create a new album with the folder name (fFile > New Album).

  • I imported a photo to iphoto (ver9.6) but the edit mode will not open.

    I imported a photo to iPhoto (ver 9.6) but when I click on Edit, nothing happens; I am not able to open the Edit Mode.
    How do I fix this?

    Perhaps the original of the photo is missing. You can check this by selecting the photo and using the command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File". Is this command available and can iPhoto show the original?

  • Photos missing from project after initial import

    I'm having an issue where after initial importing pictures into Aperture, I can no longer find them within the project.  Initially I can see them fine after the import, but when I relaunch Aperture, they are gone. The project itself exists and I when I move the cursor over the project icon, I can see the images (and they also appear in project info), but when I click on the project, it has no photos inside it. I have checked and it appears all filters are turned off from the browser view.
    Also, when I try to re-import the photos, Aperture identifies them as duplicates.
    I did have an issue a month ago where Aperture crashed a few times while trying to import.  I repaired permissions and the database, but am still getting a warning to repair the database each time I open Aperture.  I have not yet run rebuild, as I am concerned about this messing up the library (I am current on my backups).
    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Independent of Tony's suggested fix, it looks like you are having a more general problem. We need to know more to see, what might be causing this. What version of Aperture are you using? What is your MacOS X version?
    It would be good to know, if your frequent "repair"  problem only occurs for your current Aperture library. Create a new, empty Aperture library and import a few test images.
    Do you have the same problem with a new library?
    If not, where is your Aperture library stored? In the default location in "Pictures" or on an external drive? Are you sharing your library with other user accounts? How much free disk space do you have?

  • Finder unable to sort file name in Column mode

    Hi Guys,
    About 2 weeks ago suddenly Finder are unable to sort files in alphabetical order in Column mode.
    About the same time when my external HDD died (don't know whether this has any effect).
    Sorting by name works fine in icon only mode, but whenever I switch to Column mode its completely disorganized.
    And when I tried in coverflow mode its alphabetical but in inverted mode (Z to A).
    I tried verifying disk permission and repairing it to no effect.
    Any clues on how to fix this?
    Thanks,
    Jeff
