IPhoto browser is gray and empty in Aperture 3

Running Lion on 2.5 ghz i7 MBpro. Downloaded Aperture 3 and tried to transfer photos over from iPhoto 11. I can transfer the whole library, but when i try to open the iPhoto browser in Aperture, it's gray and empty. Apple says they are aware of this problem when upgrading from Aperture 2 to 3, but I installed a full version of Aperture 3

I have a similar problem, except I haven't even been able to import my iPhoto (iPhoto 7.1.5) library into Aperture (3.1.1) at all. Would love to see some advice; my purchase of Aperture was pretty much predicated on being able to import my photos!

  • I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists iPhoto Library as GRAY, and will not let me access it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.

    Like the title says...
    I can't upload or import videos from my iphoto library, into final cut pro x.  When i click, IMPORT MEDIA in FCP, It lists 'iPhoto Library' as GRAY, and will not let me select it.  I need the videos out of there.  I have tried every way I can think of.
    I have also tried from the iphoto side, to export the videos or share them to final cut.  I have had no luck.
    I have tried to drag and drop indidual video clips from iphoto to fcp, and the programs simply do not respond to each other
    I can see in the OLDER version of final cut pro x, where it has IMPORT FILES as an option, it was possible.  I see this on forums and youtube videos of the older versions.
    However, the newer version that i have, does not have IMPORT 'FILES' as an option, it is simply all lumped together as IMPORT 'MEDIA'
    Thank You for the Help

    at the end, you say "import preferences", which program are you describing?
    So im safer using footage that is remotely being pulled from iphoto...
    vs
    using footage that is imported into FCP from imovie?
    Is there anything i can do in fcp to make this footage more reliable or safer or more stable as i pull remotely from iphoto?
    All the footage, and all the libraries to all programs, or on a new pegasus 12tb raid 5 setup fyi.

  • How can I restore iPhoto titles and captions to iPhoto JPEGs sent to, and opened in, Aperture 3?

    How can I restore iPhoto titles and captions to iPhoto JPEGs sent to, and opened in, Aperture 3?

    Thank you very much, Kirby.  Your suggestion was exactly what I needed.  It proved to be a big help even to my One-to-One Aperture trainer at the Naperville IL Apple store.  My slideshow text, caption, and music attributes also were carried over intact to the new Aperture 3 environment.  - A.Z.

  • In aperture 3 and Iphoto '09, import from show iphoto browser doesn't work

    when I choose  Import/Show Iphoto Browser, I get the browser blank, with the sentence "no items to show". What to do?

    so I deleted the iPhoto library (under projects & albums) from within Aperture and this removed all the photos that I just imported. I'm bit confused because if I imported them into Aperture then why would they still be linked to an iPhoto library.
    When you imported them they are put in a Folder called iPhoto Library. You can drag them out of that. But because you deleted the Folder, they were deleted too.

  • Aperture 3.4.1 and Iphoto Browser

    I have Aperture 3..4.1. I am going through the manual and it says I can import selected photos from my iPhoto library by going to File>Import>Show iPhoto Browser (or press Option I). There is no "Show iPhoto Browser" under File>Import, and selecting Option I does nothing. I do not want to import my entire IPhoto Library into Aperture - only selected photos. Am I missing a setting here somehow? I am up to date on Aperture and iPhoto both.
    Thanks....

    The iPhoto Library Browser is no longer available, sorry.
    Since iPhoto ans Aperture share a unified library format, it is no longer necessary to import iPhoto images to Aperture, to be able to use Aperture's advanced image adjustments on the images. Just open the iPhoto Library in Aperture.
    To import only selected images from iPhoto to Aperture,
    open your iPhoto Library in Aperture,
    create an album with the images that you want to import,
    export this albums as an Aperture library,
    then import this library into your main Aperture library.
    Regards

  • IPhoto 6.0.6 and Aperture 1.5.4

    My Library in Aperture 1.5.4, the latest upgrade, is not recognised by iPhoto 6.0.6? Do I need iPhoto 08, or is there a workaround?

    How are you trying to access it? What should work is: iphoto go File -> Show Aperture Library. A Media browser pops up and you can drag files from it to iPhoto. However, that media browser is populated with your Aperture Previews, so if they're turned off, it won't work.

  • IPhoto library-file deleted - and originals missing in Aperture....

    Just moved my Aperture-library to my new iMac. Unfortunately almost all pics came from my old iPhoto-library which is gone now.
    I can't do anything but look at the pictures. Can't edit, export, share etc.
    When trying to e.g. export a file Aperture says 'The selected original image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again.'.
    Don't ask about the backup from Time Machine - that too is gone...
    Now what?
    Thanks.
    Thomas

    How did you import your old iPhoto photos? And with what Aperture version?
    Before the unified Aperture - iPhoto library has been introduced, it was possible to import an iPhoto library as referenced. This left all originals in the iPhoto library, so iPhoto continued to work, but Aperture could use the master files. Is that the way you imported your iPhoto library, with the master files in there original location?
    When trying to e.g. export a file Aperture says 'The selected original image is either offline or not found. Please reconnect it and try again.'.
    That is the typical error message, when Aperture cannot access the original files. And Aperture wil not be able to do anything with your images, unless you restore the missing originals.
    Just moved my Aperture-library to my new iMac.
    Where did you move your Aperture library from ? From an older mac?  From a backup?
    Did Aperture work on that old Mac and could access the originals?
    Do you still have that old mac, and is there any chance that recovery software could retrieve the missing original files on that mac?
    Sometimes Aperture reports originals as missing, even if they are managed inside the Aperture library.
    You can find out, where Aperture is looking for the original files, if you select some image files in the browser and use Aperture's command "File > Locate Referenced Files".
    In the panel that opens, you can see the path to missing files in the upper right corner below the thumbnail.
    What do you see, when you use that command?

  • Opening iphoto browser in aperture

    I am trying out aperture, and I am trying to open my iphoto browser in aperture. When I click on "show Iphoto browser" it opens up the browser and shows the list of events, albums, etc. that is contained in iphoto, but then in the space where I would expect to see pictures, it says "no items to show," even when I know there are hundreds of photos in the album. Does anyone know why?

    hey,
    make sure you have the Library or a Project selected in Aperture prior to selecting File>Show iPhoto Browser
    also, verify that the iPhoto Library is in it's default location in the Pictures Folder

  • Dragging image selection from iphoto browser Aperture hangs

    Wanting to change from IPhoto to Aperture for my Photo library and wanting to be a bit more organised i tried (as a test to begin with) dragging 50 images into a particular folder in Aperture 2.1.4 from the iphoto browser. At this time it has been working 5 hours. Activity Monitor shows a continuos but variable activity, i also see the importing indicator on Aperture indicating activity
    I suppose i can force Quit but will it destroy those photos but that would leave me with the question as to why its not working
    Len

    That's a good question. I just checked the camera and it does auto-rotate when I'm viewing images in the playback mode on the camera. Do you think that affects the import? I noticed that it makes two copies of all images beyond the first one imported. In other words, rotated or not, the first image I drag from iPhoto Browser will import as an Original (just one instance), yet the following ones will always be two images. I just drag from iPhoto Browser to the bottom panel of the Split View and I get two images.
    Thanks for your help,

  • I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album.  The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

    No.  When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library.  Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
    If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
    It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications.  You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

  • How to remove duplicates in iphoto 7.1.5 and aperture 2.1.4 on same hard drive

    How to remove duplicates from iPhoto 7.1.5 and Aperture 2.1.4 on same hard drive?

    For iPhoto duplicate annihalitor is a good solution
    For Aperture it is best to ask in the aperture forum

  • I imported about 300 RAW images yesterday and worked with them for about an hour. iPhoto locked up on me and I rebooted. After I did the event icon is now gray and it says there are no photos. I know the photos are there. Any idea how I can recover them?

    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
    Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database

  • I have iphoto 08 version 7.1.5.  I copied photos from recent - last import into albums.  I then deleted the photos and emptied the trash. Today all the albums are empty and the photos are nowhere in the library.  Have I lost them all?

    OK, here are a set of screenshots with my step by step - maybe you will be able to spot where I've gone awry:
    I find a photo in the Library that I will delete from an album:
    I go down to my Albums and find the picture in one of them:
    I hover over the pic so the little down arrow appears in the bottom right-hand corner. I click on it, then click on the Trash Can in the window that drops down:
    Gone from the Album:
    Gone from the Library:
    In the Trash:

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries
