IPad and Aperture - photo deletion and/or editing

Hi all,
I'm a new happy user of an iPad 2, and as I am also a user of Aperture, I was wondering if there is a way to delete photos from my iPad and thus from my Aperture. I have sooooo many photos that I want to delete, and I would love it if there was a way to sit with my kids and prune through my library on my iPad. Also, is there a program that will allow me to do any photo editing/captioning/face tagging/caption adding, etc., (basically a moble version of Aperture) on my iPad?
Thanks so much!!!!!
Leah

The problem is with the ipod photo cache.
He had me do the following:
1. go to home folder in finder
2. open pictures folder
3. right click on iphoto library and click on show package contents
4. Find "ipod photo cache" file and drag to desktop
5. Close finder
6. Reopen itunes and sync ipad
7. The ipod photo cache rebuilds itself

Sounds like you synced the photos instead of importing the photos.
In iTunes with your device plugged in, go to the photos tab and uncheck the photos that were synced over, then sync again. This should take the photos from your coputer off the devices leaving just the camera roll.
If you have a Windows computer, go to mycomputer and right click on your device and select import pictures and video. If its a Mac computer, plug in your device and go to iphoto and select import all.

Aperture, Photo Stream and new iPhone

My wife just got her first iPhone but was disappointed when she looked at Photo Stream and only about 85 shots showed - I guess the ones that were sent to the iCloud in the past 30 days. She wanted some of the older ones.
So - figuring I would be a good hubby - I went into Aperture, where there are about 550 shots showing in Photo Stream, going back to last year. But when I selected some of the older ones and said "share in Photo Stream" they would not appear on her phone. I am assuming this is because Aperture still sees them as "being in Photo Stream" and therefore sees no reason to "add them to Photo Stream". How do I get around this? Do I have to delete them from the Aperture copy of Photo Stream (they are not on either iPhone nor my iPad Mini) and then re-share them from the actual Aperture library?
Thanks for any assistance.

First of all you need to be using the same AppleID on her iPhone and the Mac with Aperture in order to see the same "My Photo Stream". (I'm assuming you are or you wouldn't see any of the photos. But just in case...)
There is more than one Photo Stream. Your main Photo Stream is called "My Photo Stream". This is only visible to Macs and iOS devices signed into the same AppleID. You can have other "Shared Photo Streams" that you can share with other AppleIDs or even publicly using a URL.
To share a photo to Photo Stream, you select it in the browser and choose (right-click) Share->Photo Stream and a dialog will appear. Within this dialog there's a popup menu that determines where to share it. You can select "New Photo Stream" which will create a new Shared Photo Stream. Or if you've already created some Shared Photo Streams, they will appear in the menu and you can add to them.
There's an additional entry in that menu called "My Photo Stream". This doesn't appear if the photo you are sharing is already in the My Photo Stream location in Aperture. So you cannot add a photo in My Photo Stream to My Photo Stream if that is where it is already located in Aperture. If you select a photo from inside a project in Aperture you will then see the "My Photo Stream" entry in the Share->Photo Stream dialog.
Solutions for you:
To get a photo back into My Photo Stream for other devices to see, go to the project where the photo lives and Share->Photo Stream and select "My Photo Stream". By default, Aperture imports all Photo Stream photos into a monthly project automatically. If you disabled this in preferences, you could manually import it using drag and drop from My Photo Stream to a project in the library sidebar.
To get a photo into a Shared Photo Stream, select it and choose Share->Photo Stream and select New Photo Stream from the popup menu. Give it a name and description. If your wife is using the same AppleID, it will automatically show up on her iPhone in the Photos->Photo Stream app. If she is using her own AppleID, you can share it with her by adding her AppleID in the share dialog.

If I go to iCloud and I press "delete account" what would be deleted? Will photo and videos be deleted and apps?

If I go to iCloud and I press "delete account" what would be deleted? Will photo and videos be deleted and apps?

It will only delete the iCloud account from the iPod. If you sign back in the iCloud stuff will still be there.
When yo delete the account from the iPod yo will be offered the option to retain or delete the iCloud information from the iPod. The data is contacts. calendar and other stuff listed in Settings.iCloud

I have photo stream on and took photos recently and cant find them on my computer. I tried restarting the computer but still nothing. How do I get them on photo stream?

Try the following on your MBP:
Disable Photo Stream in the System/iCloud preference pane
and in iPhoto's Photo Share preference pane.
Reboot and reenable both respectively. That should jump start Photo Stream.

No, "My Number" was not listed in my Phone menu, I had to manually type it it. Is there a way for that number to automatically be listed in that "My Number" spot? Would that maybe have something to do with my phone number not being listed as an option in the "Send and Receive" spot under messaging???

Aperture 3.6 and Aperture Photo Library

When Aperture 3.5.1 is upgraded to Aperture 3.6, will Aperture 3.6 cause the Aperture Photo Library to undergo an upgrade? If so, is that upgraded library compatible with the Mavericks version of Aperture?
I'm curious, since I will have a Mac running Mavericks and Aperture 3.5.1 (accessing the Aperture 3.6 library)...
Thanks
Bob

William,
Thanks for the reply and answer...!

Why have my notes and contacts been deleted and my applications won't launch

I tried using my iPad mini today but both my notes and contacts have been deleted and my applications either won't launch at all or launch for a few minutes and then shutdown. I also tried to download another app which said had been downloaded but I couldn't find it anywhere, the same thing happened with another app I downloaded. It was working fine yesterday and I haven't updated it or done anything out of the ordinary since then. What's wrong?

There are some simple troubleshooting steps you can take.
Be sure you drive is not overly full. Rule of thumb would be over 85%.
Create a new User go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> "+" (make it an admin acct) and test the apps in this new account, if they work the problem is isolated to your User and not systemwide.
If the issue is limited to your user account try starting up Safe Mode (It will take more time to startup in Safe Mode because it runs a directory check.)
If your apps functions correctly that way, go to System Preferences >> Accounts >> Login Items, and remove them. Boot normally and test. If not go to ~(yourHome)/Library/Contextual Menu Items and move whatever is there to the desktop. Then do the same with /Library/Contextual Menu Items. Lastly, try moving ~(yourHome)/Library/Fonts to your desktop and restarting.
Log out/in or restart, if that sorts it start putting items back one at a time until you find the culprit.
If the issue is systemwide then, you may be able to repair this with the The 10.6.2 Combo Update This is a fuller install, as opposed to an incremental "delta" update so it should overwrite any files that are damaged or missing. It does not matter if you have applied it before.
Remember to Verify Disk before update and repair permissions after update from /Applications/Utilities/Disk Utility.

Linking iPhoto and Aperture., Linking iPhoto and Aperture.

So, I have done all the obvious things and after multiple years with iPhoto, am struggling with Aperture, but I'll get there. I want to retain iPhoto as a browser for my family, and use Aperture primarily for adjustments. Now, I can open iPhoto files direct in Aperture, but how do I save the new version to iPhoto easily? I can export to desktop then drag in, but I had almost expected the new version that I am adjusting in Aperture to save direct to iPhoto.
Second question....I've seen comments about dragging new projects direct into iPhoto as either a file or say, slideshow. Is this just a drag and drop operation with both iPhoto and Aperture browsers open or is there a very elegant way I'm missing?

Now, I can open iPhoto files direct in Aperture, but how do I save the new version to iPhoto easily? I can export to desktop then drag in, but I had almost expected the new version that I am adjusting in Aperture to save direct to iPhoto.
You can't. Aperture is not an External Editor for iPhoto. It's a database, like iPhoto and is a complete replacement for iPhoto. Simply, the scenario you have is not part of the Aperture toolkit.
Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.

Looking for the perfect workflow on two computers and backup photo's and synchronize LR 5

I work on two computers. A workstation in the studio and a laptop. I have a harddisk inside the computer containing all photo's. I have a external disk to backup these photo's.
On the worksation LR catalog sits on a second internal disk. LR runs from another disk. (On the laptop LR runs and contains the catalog on the same disk)
When working on location I download my photo's to this external harddisk. I also use this external disk to work on my photo's on location (home) with my laptop. Back in the studio I sync the internal and external harddisks.
I work with LR5 on both the computer and the laptop. After synchronizing the harddisks I open LR and synchronize the folder(s) using " Synchronize Folder ".
The adjustments I made to the photo's are still there because LR stores these in the RAW files and I use " Include Develop settings in metadata inside JPEG, TIFF, PNG and PSD files "
But the Virtual copies are not there. I understand why this is happening. I read all about exporting and importing Catalogs.
How can I synchronize the LR catalog?
For example. I worked on location. I imported the photo's to the external disk attached to the laptop. I worked on the photo's using LR on the laptop. The next day I want to work on them in the studio using my computer.
In order not to lose any adjustments and virtual copies I have te export the folder containing the new photo's and import them with LR on my studio computer. I have to include the RAW files in this export: " Export negative files "
What is the problem?
So I will need another harddisk. Next the export takes forever. Then I have to import it again. Takes forever too. When I synchronize the harddisk (using synchronizing software) it goes very quickly. But I lose the virtual copies because the LR catalog cannot be synchronized .
I tried to export the new files as a catalog without "Export negative files" and then after synchronizing the harddisks import this catalog on the second computer.
This is what happens:
LR does not see the photo's are already there. The option to import only the metadata is grayed out. It is not possible to tell LR where it should import the photo's. Then LR could see the files are already there and it only has to import the metadata changes.
Because I need to work on my photo's in the studio and on location this is realy a big problem.
I know I can work from a external disk on both computers. But that will slow down the workflow extremely because the catalog and the photo's are on the same disk. There are 261.216 photo's in this catalog. So export as a catalog back and forth is not a option.
Using Export As A Catalog also is a problem.
When I import new photo's from my camera (card) it is possible to tell LR where to store the files using a Date Format.
I use YYYY / YYYY-MM / YYYY-MM-DD:
But when I want to Import From A Other Catalog and tell LR where to store the files it does not see the folder structure already exciting. This a root problem. So it will put the folders where I direct it to and then I have to move the new photo's manually to the correct folders.
If the folder already excists it cannot merge them. In that case I have to move the new photo's from each day into the appropriate folder for each day !
This folder structure is important for me because many older photo's are not taged, but are easy to be found by date.
I probably are overlooking something and the solution is very simple. But I cannot find it ...
QUESTION : can anyone tell me what would be the best workflow in my case ? And still have a fast system ?

Here's what I do with the laptop/desktop workflow. Dedicate an big, fast external drive and place ALL Photo's, LR's catalog and presets (set preferences to Store Preset's with Catalog). You have one drive that has all the data you need to access your images and database on any number of computers. All the computer needs is a working copy of Lightroom. Clone that external drive to the backup drive, a 2nd external. Make as many clone's as you wish (one offsite, one in a fire proof safe, one to take on location etc). When one drive has newer data, just clone that to the others, they are all now in sync. One catalog. One master drive. The drive has all images and necessary associated files LR needs to work with (the expectation is lens and DNG camera profiles, the later can be embedded into a DNG and is thus on the drive too).

I swipe an email message and sometimes get "delete" and sometimes "archive"

Recently, I have been swiping emails to delete them and instead of delete, the red message on the right side of the email message says "archive". There have been a few, however, which still say "delete". Could you help me get rid of the archive or tell me what it is there for? It seems, perhaps that the deletes are for my .me account and the archives for my gmail account. Any way to change that? Thanks

is there a way to disable archiving when gmail is set up through exchange? -- or a way to push email on gmail rather than fetch?

IPad and Aperture Photo Organization

I've searched these forums but I haven't been able to find a suitable answer to my question. I recently "upgraded" from iPhoto to Aperture 3 for my digital photo library. I rearranged all of my projects in Aperture (Events in iPhoto) and I'm fairly happy with the way I can view them in that program. Unfortunately, when I purchased my new iPad and imported all my photos they seem to be in some random order that I can't figure out. The "Event" order on the iPad seems to mimic the order of my "Projects" in Aperture but when I look under the "Photos" tab, the photos are not in chronological order or in any order that I can determine. I find it very hard to locate a specific picture this way since I have around 10,000 photos. I did not have this problem on my iPhone when I synchronized using iPhoto. Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions? Thanks in advance.

I have just had a frustrating time trying to work out what the iPad sync is doing with my 20,000+ aperture library - and I think I have worked out what it is doing - all albums ticked for sync in itunes are sorted in the iPad according to the date of creation of the album, and ditto for projects
which is a real pain - so now I have to abandon viewing these 1000s of pics on the iPad by project, and just use albums, BUT then I need to make new albums in the various folders into which I sort my Aperture albums, (with extra dummy ones where I might in future need one, or this late-made album will appear at the bottom of my iPad album list!) especially for iPad syncing, being a subset of all my albums, because even with 64 gb I don't have enough space for all my pics of course, and copy the contents of the old ones into the new ones
and I plan to make all such new albums names: "i whatever" and plan to only tick these for syncing with my iPad
comments welcome from others who have sussed this or think I have it wrong

IWeb and Aperture photos not looking that good?

Opps. I thought I was in the iPhoto forum. Getting old(er).
Have you done this before and had better results?
Are you dragging them onto an iWeb page or into an iWeb album or photo page?
Do you have iWeb's preferences set to optimize photos upon import?

Aperture photo transfer and keywords

I'm new to Aperture, and I've just started to build my library. I have been using i-photo for years and I find the Aperture program's import and keyword functions a bit confusing.
I like to shoot Raw and when I'm on location, where I dump my cards to my Macbook laptop. Sometimes I have the time to edit the photos and place keywords on the photos while I'm still out of town. But I would like to transfer those photos to my desktop MacPro when I get home. That's my main library.
What is the proper procedure to import the keywords and edited Raw files to my desktop with out loosing either the edited changes or the keywords.
Or do I have to simply use the laptop as a review and reject vehicle until I get home and then do all my editing and Keywording when I get back on the MacPro?
Also one last novice question..... what is a light table?
Thanks

Which version of Aperture are you using (AP 2 or AP 3)?
I ask because your system info shows a G5.
If you are running AP 3 on Intel hardware, then the bottom half of this page under 'Merging Libraries' should run down the procedure pretty well.
http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=3%26sec tion=3%26tasks=true
If you are running AP2, then I leave it to those more familiar with the procedure needed for your situation.
The light table function is used to organize images on a flat surface to evaluate a layout arrangement or to see which images look good together and which don't belong (for say a book).
Added comment about light table.
