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

  • 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

  • IPad and iPhone photos/folders disappear in Aperture 3

    Hello all,
    As my subject line states I'm having problems with my photos/videos and their folders disappearing in Aperture 3. I can import them without problem via Aperture's built in import feature. I created a folder called iPhone and one called iPad and then import into the appropriate folders.
    My problem occurs when I close Aperture. When I reopen my folders and all the projects/photos are gone. This has happened to me to numerous times. It does not occur with the other folders/projects that I have in my library.
    I am using the latest aperture update and OSX 10.6.8. All of my IOS are up to date as well and not jail broken. With regards to the photos/videos on my ipad they are mostly ones transferred to my ipad via the camera connection kit.
    Thanks for any help or insight you can give.

    These are user-to-user forums, so I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post (posting it on public forums can lead to spam).
    Only photos taken with the iPad, copied onto it via the camera connection kit, or saved from emails/websites etc can be deleted directly on the iPad.  Photos that were synced from your computer are deleted by moving/removing/de-selecting them from where they were synced from on your computer and then re-syncing.
    In terms of editing them, on iOS 6 I get an Edit button at the top left of the screen which gives me some edit options at the bottom of the screen : rotate, enhance, red-eye, crop. The edited version will then be saved to the Camera Roll album, the original photo is left untouched.  There are also third-party photo editing apps e.g. Photoshop Express (which is free with some in-app options) - they will also save the edited version to the Camera Roll album, the original photo will be left unaltered.

  • Ipad and Aperture?

    I realize the iPad isn't out yet, but I wondered when seeing the keynote how well Aperture will work with the iPad. I do hope that Apple includes Aperture photo syncing with the iPad when it is released and doesn't force us to go through iPhoto first.

    i think the ipad would be MUCH better....the 17 screen is only an advantage if you are showing horizontal shots and have you ever HANDED someone a 17 mbp : here...check this out...
    instant on is another feature....there was an interesting article on photogs showing their work on the iphone....which is great because it's always with you....sometimes being in the right place at the right time beats the best portfolio...which i can show you...tomorrow....anyway..they were saying that the flow is important (prepare all vertical and horizontals so the phone only has to be rotated ONCE...)
    i really hope apple will build in some wifi remote screen/viewing for tethered shooting with the ipad in the next aperture.....that would be a great way to handle the people gathering around the monitor problem...just hand out ipads and everybody can browse.....
    canon does something like that with their wifi grips (built in server)...but of course there are no adjustments/looks/.....other then whatever canon has built in to adjust in camera jpgs.....
    i just hope for an aperture upgrade SOON....very very soon....

  • My computer updated to Windows 8.1 and now photo organizer won't open in my Elements 12.

    Windows automatically updated to 8.1 and now, the Elements 12 that I bought to work with windows 8 won't load the Photo Organizer at all.

    I  have exactly the same problem!
    I am attempting to run Photoshop Elements 9 Organizer on a Windows 8.1 OS and have entered the "DirectX is installed but cannot be initialized" HELL!  Per the suggestions of many, many other users apparently residing in this HELL with me I have a) clicked "off" and reclicked "on" the "Turn Windows Feature On & Off / Legacy Systems / Direct Play" option and b) verified that "Windows / System 32 / quartz.dll" seems to be a legitimate file at 1.49MB and c) rebooted my computer so many times my boots are getting worn out and d) uninstalled and reinstalled Photoshop Elements twice.  Does anyone here have any other suggestion or fixes for this apparently common and widespread Adobe problem that renders Photoshop Elements about 50% unusable?  Thanks.

  • Ipad and Aperture 3

    Is apple going to make aperture 3 for ipad and can the ipad not handle it??

    Don't think so and it doesn't make sense to use Aperture on iPad because you are going to run out of space for pictures very quickly and don't think the processor in the iPad can handle this. I use Aperture 3 and syncs over 6000 pictures to iPad, they are just the previews so they are much smaller than the original and works well because of the resolution of the iPad.

  • Ipad and managing photos

    I am really trying to like the apple system for managing and editing photos but every time I try to use iphoto, itunes and photos on the ipad to do something relaitvely simple, I hit a brick wall. Searching various discussion groups often give hope but more often shows many, many ,many people are having the same frsutrations as I am. Does apple have the slightest concern about the actual requirements of its user base?
    I am using an ipad 1 (5.1.1) and a macbook pro (snow leopard). On the ipad, I have laoded soem photos from a camera sd card and arranged them into albums.
    What I want to do is to import them into iphoto on the MBP and add captions (using Preview as an external editor) and then put them back into the same albums (replacing the original photos) on the ipad. This sort of thing can be done quickly, easily and almost without thinking on a pc.
    When I load the photos form the ipad into iphoto, it splatters them who knows where and loses all album structure.
    (As a side problem, once the download to iphoto has been done and I eject my ipad, I cannot reconnect my ipad to the MBP without rebooting the MBP  - only apple knows why).
    When I compare the photos shown as imported from my ipad in iphoto with the photos shown  in the "All Imported" album on the ipad, both lists contain 160 photos but some are different. Why?
    I want to be able to order my photos on my ipad so that they appear in reverse data order. I can't do this basic simple thing. Why not?
    Are there any apple afficionados out there who can set me straight and show me that apple is flexible enough to do what I want, or is it the case of do it apple's way or not at all?
    PS please don't suggest updating to later versions of the OS as from other discussions, the problems I have a certainly not solved by later versions and are probably exacerbated by them.

    When you delete a photo from the camera roll it is deleted from any albums that contain it.  This is because the albums don't contain actual photos; they only contain links to the photo in the camera roll.  When the cameral roll photo is deleted, the link to it is removed form any albums as well.
    Also, photos only remain in my photo stream for 30 days, and if you delete a photo stream photo from your device it is also deleted from iCoud and all other devices.
    Photos added to a shared stream will remain in iCloud indefinitely, the will be at a lower resolution than the original.  And the shared stream album will also remain on your phone.
    For all these reasons, you can really use iCloud to archive your photos and free up space on your device.  Instead, import them to your computer while they are still in the camera roll, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  If you want to be able to still view them, get a Flikr account (or similar) so you can view them as a gallery from the web.

  • 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

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

  • Stole iPad and retrieving photos

    My iPad was stolen a couple weeks ago...and I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve my photos. I've already synced the ipad to my mac but I didn't have photostream set up and it was a while since I synced the device. Is it possible to retrieve the photos with another apple device and my apple id?

    If you synced and backed up your iPad and photos, then yes. If not, sorry, your photos are gone with the iPad. You can restore the backup to a new device or use a third-party solution to extract them from the backup itself.

  • Photos on iPhone not Showing on iPad and no photos in events Help

    Synching has been working. I have not altered any settings but now photos not sharing also photos not showing in events.

    Go to iCloud Prefs on your iPhone / iPad and turn off the contact syncing, it will ask if you want to erase your contacts from your device, say yes. After that, turn it on again and just wait until all your contacts sync again.
    That worked for me!

  • Why are photos showing on my iPad and iPhone photo streams but not my mac's photo stream

    I've taken a load of photos on my phone and have placed them in an album within my photo stream, they are now showing up on my iPad but not on my mac which is where i really want them. I've tried turning the wifi on and off again, I've tried turn the devices off and on again. nothing is working! all i want is my work backed up! can anyone help me please?!

    Hello BeccaBatte,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Please follow the troubleshooting steps in the article below to help resolve this issue with Photo Stream.
    I don't see any photos in the My Photo Stream view of iPhoto or Aperture.
    Make sure your Mac has an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. If you can't connect to the Internet, updates to My Photo Stream won't appear in iPhoto or Aperture. You can use these steps to troubleshoot your Internet connection on your Mac.
    From your Mac, choose System Preferences > iCloud.
    Make sure that the Photo Stream checkbox is selected and you're signed in to the same iCloud account that you're using on your other supported devices.
    Open iPhoto or Aperture, then choose Preferences > iCloud (or Photo Stream).
    If you're using iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later, make sure that My Photo Stream is selected. If you want all new photos that you upload to your iPhoto or Aperture library to upload to My Photo Stream, select Automatic Upload.
    If you're using iPhoto 9.2.2 through 9.3.2, or Aperture 3.2.3 through 3.3.2, select Enable Photo Stream and Automatic Import.
    I see different photos in My Photo Stream on each of my devices.
    Your device will keep up to 1000 photos, even if they're older than 30 days. Photos older than 30 days are removed from the iCloud server, so your devices might not have the same photos, depending on when you enabled My Photo Stream. Due to storage limitations, your Apple TV might display only your most recent photos.If you want to have the most current photos in My Photo Stream on each of your devices and delete the older photos:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.
    Turn My Photo Stream off in Settings > iCloud > Photos (or Photo Stream in iOS 6).
    Confirm that you wish to Delete Photos.
    Turn My Photo Stream back on. iCloud will automatically push your stored photos to your device.
    Repeat these steps for each device.

  • IWeb and Aperture photos not looking that good?

    hey guys can any of you tell me why
    when i done edit my photos in aperture and loads them over in iweb they are not looking that good as in Aperture why is that?
    can any help me here?

    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?

  • IWeb and Aperture - Photo Descriptions - Help please?

    When you drop photographs into a 'photo' page in iWeb it automatically places a title underneath the photo which is in fact the file name. I don't have Aperture (yet) but would using Aperture enable me to attach a "description to the file? If so, is it possible to include this description in the photo albums so that it appears when each image is presented in the browser? At the moment I am laboriously cutting and pasting 600 image descriptions from Lightroom and into iWeb. Surely there's a quicker way?
    Thank you in advance.

    Once you get your photos in to iWeb, you can highlight the thumbnail and the description under the photo which is the file name. Once the description is highlighted, type in what you want to say. If you click in between the thumbnails a control box will pop up and you can choose how many lines you want for your description. Once the the description is typed in, highlight what you just typed, then press the command key and "C" key. That will copy what you have highlighted. Press the Tab key and it will take you to the next thumbnail and the description will be highlighted. Next press the command key and then the "V" key. That will paste the new description on the photo. Once you do the copy (Command+C) you can go through a bunch of thumb nails fast by pressing the Tab key then the Command key and V key.
    Hope this is the info you were looking for. You don't need Aperture to do this...it uses the file name too unless you change it in Aperture. You can change the photo description faster in iWeb.

  • HT1386 I have sync an ipad with a new computer and the photos have been transfered into files with no extensions. I can view them on the ipad but canot view and delete from the computer.

    I have synced a new computer with the ipad and the photos have been transferred as a file with no exstention. I cannot view them on the computer but can on the ipad.

    Well I forget the exact keys, but believe pressing and holding down CTRL before clicking Restore will allow you to browse and find the backup file (may be wrong).
    In the end, as far as the iPhone thinks, it is a new computer so it will erase and resync stuff and as long as you loaded everything back into iTunes all should sync back. Main issue is other stuff like the data within the apps, notes, etc that are part of the backup which is why you would want to try to restore from the backup. If you don't mind losing data in apps (eg: do you care you have to relog into some apps and start over, don't care about game scores, etc) then you don't have to worry about the backup. If you have important data in some of those apps then you will need to restore from the backup.

  • Photo operations between iPad and PC

    I'm a PC guy who has just purchased an iPad for travel.  Here's what I want to be able to do:
    Take pictures with my iPhone or Canon.
    Move those pictures to the iPad.
    Edit the pictures on the iPad.
    Add keywords to the pictures.
    After the trip, move the pictures to the PC.
    Here's what I've done so far:
    Ordered the camera connection kit which should allow me to copy pictures off the camera onto the iPad
    Purchased the Photo transfer App which permits me to copy pictures from the iPhone to the iPad and from the iPad to the PC.
    Keywords appear to be out of my reach.  I know iPhoto supports them, because I found that feature on my wife's Mac.  But iPhoto for iPad does not appear to allow you to add, view or search by keywords.  Is that correct?
    I'm a little concerned about what the iPad is doing to the photo files.  Using iTunes, I downloaded several albums from Photoshop Elements onto the iPad and using Photo Transfer, I attempted to send one of these photos back to the PC.  I compared the original photo with the photo that made the round trip and found that:
    It had been renamed.
    The keywords that I had attached to the photo in either Windows 7 or Elements had been stripped from the file but properties like Date Taken were preserved.
    The dimensions were preserved (3456 x 2304) but the file had shrunk from 2.52 MB to 1.46 MB.  Some of that can be accounted for by the stripping of keywords, but that would represent hundreds of bytes, not over a megabyte.  What went missing?
    Any ideas on how to apply and/or preserve keywords on the iPad?

    The camera connection kit can only be used to import photo/video files form a camera, SD card or USB flash drive. You can't import other types of files. You can't export any type of files using the camera connection kit.
    On your Canon camera, you may have to do this to import pics from the camera. Switching from Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP) [Some cameras may refer to PTP as Pictbridge or PTP/Pictbridge.] to Mass Storage Device Mode or vise versa on the camera.
