IPhoto transfer to Aperture..now I have 3 libraries?

So here's what I have done. after several months with Aperture and iPhoto, i decided to just use Aperture. Up until now, I was using an iPhoto referenced library with Aperture (i think that's right) and not using iphoto unless the photo was not in aperture. So, i guess i was using 2 separate libraries. Aperture for newer, and iPhoto for older, but when i started using Aperture i think i set it up so i didn't disturb iPhoto.
Please forgive my ignorance, here is what it says for libraries in aperture:
iPhoto library Version 9.3.2
Aperture library.aplibrary(current default)
Aperture library-iphoto.aplibrary
That said, not all the photos transferred from the iphoto library to the Aperture library. I had to update the iphoto library before i could merge them. i have narrowed down the approximate dates of the photos that didn't transfer from iphoto to aperture. i want to have 1 library...just aperture and delete the iphoto library completely. Oh, and now I have only 1.21G left on my HD!!! I have 21,000 photos in Ap and about 19,000 in iphoto, so my machine is dying. don't want any disasters, so i need to do this now.
i am on an iMac mid-2007. 4GB memory with a tiny HD 250G. I can't upgrade the HD at this time. i do have a brand new MBP with a large HD and 8G HD. i also want to have ALL my photos on that, in Aperture only, so ??? I'm running Mountain Lion on all computers.
I really appreicate any input and hope i've made a modicum of sense. Everything is backed up on an EHD.
Thanks in advance!

I use Aperture on a MacBook with 2GB of RAM. It is the Core Duo 2Ghz, not the newer Core 2 Duo. Performance varies from great to painfully slow. All in all, I'd call it acceptable until a better machine and/or software fixes come along.
The fast parts are on the library side, with searching, key-wording, sorting, etc.. as fast as I could ever wish.
The slow parts are in adjustments and exporting. They are both related because exporting is slow because it applies all the adjustments to generate the result file. Adjustments can get glacially slow, especially some combinations. Once you have applied crop and/or straightening to an image, all other adjustments get slower. Spot and patch varies from fast to unusable. Highlight and shadow adjustments are slow and make the others really slow, etc... A big improvement would come from having a proper GPU, which the MacBook lacks. The implication is also that CoreImage programming for the CPU is really not optimal, because other products do the same tasks much quicker with the same CPU. Maybe a deep revision of CoreImage could bring a big improvement.
Until then, it is hard to advise anyone to go and buy a MacBook to run Aperture. I find it acceptable for my needs, but that's it. For a portable, a MacBook Pro seems to be much better. On the desktop the iMac 24" with 3GB of RAM and the nVidia 7600GT seems to be tailor-made to run Aperture.

  • Moving from iPhoto 11' to Aperture 3

    OK everyone, I know this has probably been asked many times before, but after searching previous discussions, I have not been able to find a more recent answer. I want to make sure I am doing this right from to get-go.
    Basically, I would like to make the move from iPhoto 11' to Aperture 3. My biggest concern is duplication of images. I would like to import all images from iPhoto excluding any edits (essentially just masters) and begin using Aperture 3 for all my photo needs. From what I can tell, the easiest way to import would be to go to File > Import > select iPhoto Library. This then would ask me to select to leave them in their current location, or import them to the Aperture Library. If my goal is to get away from iPhoto, would it be best to import them in to the Aperture Library or leave them in their current location? If I chose import to Aperture Library, will they still be listed under iPhoto Albums in Aperture?
    I have read that if I leave them in their current location, I can later select Consolidate Masters and that would allow me to delete my iPhoto Library. Would that be the same as just importing in to the Aperture Library to begin with and deleting the iPhoto Library?
    I've also read something about exporting from iPhoto and then importing from Aperture. Is this an effective way to transfer? Any feedback would be great. These forums are awesome. I get more help on here then I do at the Genius Bar!!

    Basically, I would like to make the move from iPhoto 11' to Aperture 3. My biggest concern is duplication of images. I would like to import all images from iPhoto excluding any edits (essentially just masters) and begin using Aperture 3 for all my photo needs.
    If you have the latest  iPhoto 11'  and the most current Aperture 3.2.3, then you do not need to be worried about duplications. If your iPhoto and Aperture are current and the iPhoto Library has been upgraded by iPhoto 11, then Aperture will be able to import many images as proper master-versions pairs, so that the iPhorto edited versions don't need much additional space.
    The older images, where Aperture cannot create a master-version pair will import as separate masters, one for the original master image file, and one for the edited version. Aperture will stack those two images and tag them with keywords "iPhoto Original" and "iPhoto Edited". You will be able to collect them in a smart album by filtering using these keywords and can use that to delete the edited versions you do not want.
    I have read that if I leave them in their current location, I can later select Consolidate Masters and that would allow me to delete my iPhoto Library. Would that be the same as just importing in to the Aperture Library to begin with and deleting the iPhoto Library?
    Yes, that would be the same.
    If you want to migrate from iPhoto to Aperture and not use iPhoto any longer, then make a backup from your iPhoto Library and import into Aperture directly, without referencing the iPhoto Library. Referencing the iPhoto Library will give no added functionality, but will restrict your use of iPhoto and is not very safe.
    The most versatile option ton import into Aperture is by using 
         File > Import > select iPhoto Library
    This will mirror your iPhoto Library in Aperture exactly as it is now: Folders, events, books, slideshows, albums, keywords, and other metadata tags like ratings.
    I've also read something about exporting from iPhoto and then importing from Aperture. Is this an effective way to transfer?
    This will transfer your images, but not the work you put into organizing your library (albums, etc.)
    Also you will only get the masters or the edited versions. By importing the library you can get both as master-versions pairs (as far as possible).
    Any feedback would be great. These forums are awesome. I get more help on here then I do at the Genius Bar!!
    Thank you for that. We like to share what we have learned here. Post back if you still have questions.

  • Trouble opening iPhoto library in Aperture that has been transferred to an external hard drive.

    I am having trouble opening my iPhoto library in Aperture now that it has been transferred to an external hard drive.
    Versions being used:
    MacBook Pro 13-inch mid-2010
    OS X v. 10.9.1 Mavericks
    Aperture v. 3.5.1
    iPhoto v. 9.5.1
    Order of events: got MacBook > took pictures > created an iPhoto library > upgraded to Mountain Loin > added more photos to iPhoto library > upgraded to Mavericks > purchased and downloaded Aperture > copied iPhoto library to a 750 GB WD My Passport.
    When attempting to switch to this iPhoto library while using Aperture an error stating, “Unable to Switch to Library. Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.”  iPhoto can access this iPhoto library with no problem.  What is missing? Any suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

    “Unable to Switch to Library. Aperture cannot switch to the selected library because the file system of the library’s volume is not supported.”
    Aperture 3.5.1  is checking for file system compatibility, iPhoto not always.
    copied iPhoto library to a 750 GB WD My Passport.
    Check the filesystem on your WD drive. Did you remember to format the drive for MacOS, before you copied the library there? It needs to be formatted MacOS X Extended (Journaled) to be used with any photo library. iPhoto may be able to open the library, if the filesystem is not supported, but you are risking data loss.
    You can reformat the drive with Disk Utility, if the file system is wrong (after backing up your iPhoto library to a different drive). See:
    iPhoto: Issues with FAT32-formatted drives
    Format external drives to Mac OS Extended before using with Aperture

    You see the File System in the Finder's "File > Get Info" panel, when you select the drive in the Finder and use "File > Get Info" from the main menu bar or press cmd-I.

  • I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries?

    I just ran migration assistant, and now I have two accounts on my new iMac...how do I merge my iPhoto libraries? Is there anyway to do it without using an external hard drive?

    Yes there is.
    1: Log out and into the account you later want to remove.
    2: Open your Pictures folder and look for the iPhoto Library.
    3: Right or control click on it, a menu appears and choose the option "Show Package Contents", it's really a folder.
    4: Find the folder called "Originals", select it and use the Finder menu to Duplicate it.
    5: Move the Copy of Originals to the Desktop. Close the window.
    6: From the Finder menu, select Go Computer.
    7: A window appears with your boot drive, double click it and on the Users folder inside.
    8: Select the OTHER users folder and open the folder called Public, inside is a folder called "DropBox"
    9: Drag the Copy of Originals to that DropBox folder, it will copy it.
    10. Log out and into the other account and access the DropBox folder, your files can then be imported into that iPhoto user Library from within the program itself.

  • I have just imported Iphoto library into aperture library, can I delete now the Iphoto Library ?

    Hi, I have juste imported Iphoto library into Aperture Library (did a copy) - can I delete my Iphoto library as I won't use Iphoto anymore ?
    Thanks Hélème

    Helene,
    Both of those things you pointed out are mere *metadata*.
    When you imported your iPhoto library, since you did a copy, your libraries are completely independent. 
    When I was in your situation, I moved my iPhoto library to an external disk and then went to the Aperture library to see how it behaved, even though i was 99.99% sure my iPhoto and Aperture libraries were separate.

  • RAW JPEG PROBLEM  I'm new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    I’m new to Aperture and neglected to mark RAW+JPEG pairs when I imported (from iPhoto).  Now I have two images for each photo.  Help!!  How can I change this?

    How did you import from iPhoto? If you saw the Import panel with raw -jpeg pairs, then you probably did not import your iPhoto library as library, but as files, and then you will see plenty of duplicates - previews, thumbnails, originls, edited versions. If that should be the case, it would be better to delete the import from iPhoto and to import your iPhoto library again, but this time using "File > Import > Library".
    Only that would require compatible versions of iPhoto and Aperture.  What are your Aperture and iPhoto version numbers?

  • For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 I began copying (in iPhoto) photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct?

    For 10 years I've been keeping my photos in iPhoto in "Albums". Now that I have Aperture 3.5 installed, I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?

    iPhoto and Aperture are having an inconsistent terminology:
    For an introduction to Aperture's terminology see Kirby Krieger's great user tip:    
                 The Well-Trod Path: a Beginner's Guide to how Aperture's major parts inter-relate
    iPhoto's events correspond to "Projects" in Aperture.
    Albums and smart albums are called the same in both applications.
    iPhoto Projects (books, cards,.. ) are "Products" in Aperture.
    I began copying my photos in my albums to "Projects" for Aperture. Is this correct? If this is correct, I would expect that I can then delete my albums with photos in iPhoto since my photos are now in Aperture projects. Correct?
    Your events should show as projects in Aperture and your albums as abums.You should not need to do any moving around, but betetr do not delete any photo anywhere in aperture, until you are sure about the storage structure.
    Like in iPhoto, there are library items that contain the images (events in iPhoto, projects in Aperture). Each photo is in exactly one project in Aperture. And there are library items, that can referenced the same photo in its project, without duplicating or storing it, albums ans smart albums.

  • Now I have Aperture 3 can I get rid of iPhoto?

    Will I ever need to use iPhoto again?
    I ask this because I have Final Cut Studio 3 but I occasionally use iMovie as there are some things it can do better or more easily.
    Is this the case with Aperture and iPhoto or can Aperture do everything that iPhoto can,  plus a lot more?
    So will I still need iPhoto?

    Definitely keep iPhoto.
    If you use Facebook then any albums loaded by iPhoto to FaceBook will be deleted automatically.
    That's just one danger of moving from iPhoto to Aperture.
    I use Both... personal is usually in iPhoto. Work stuff is in Aperture.
    Also my ITouch syncing thru iTunes never see the Aperture library, and Aperture has never asked to take photos from my iTouch... only iPhoto has !

  • I have Iphoto library in Aperture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging?

    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.  Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the apeture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.  I would like to do this just to reorganize the photos between the two.  I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.

    Tell us more, please. I am not quite sure, what you want to do and how you are using Aperture and iPhoto?
    Which versions of Aperture and iPhoto are you using?
    Do you have separate photo libraries for Aperture and iPhoto, or are you opening your iPhoto libraries in Aperture?
    I have Iphoto library in Apeture.
    Did you import an iPhoto library into Aperture?  And now you are seeing a section "iPhoto Library"  in the Aperture projects list in the Inspector?
    Events and albums you imported from iPhoto (Import > Library > Some iPhoto Library) will be imported as Aperture projects and albums, and they will behave exactly as other Aperture projects and albums.
    Can I move the projects from iPhoto to aperture project by dragging (within the aperture program)? Is this making a duplicate of all the photos? It seems to work??  It then leaves my Iphoto library in apeture empty.
    You can drag images from any project in Aperture to other projects and that will move (not duplicate) the images and all its versions to that project. And when you drag all images from the project to another project, the remaining project will be empty and can be deleted.  (Caution: Photos that you have hidden in iPhoto will not be visible in Aperture. If you are not sure, if you have hidden photos, open the library again in iPhoto and unhide all photos).
      I feel that I may have doubles and would like all pictures of one year in same project in Aperture instead of going between both.
    There should be no problem with moving all photos from the same years to the same projects. You can also drag projects in "Projects" view on top of each other. That will merge them.
    You could also define smart albums in Aperture to search for images taken at a specific period of time:
    File > New > Smart album:
    Then, in the Smart Settings HUD, click "Add Rule" and add a Date or Calendar rule.
    For example, to find all images taken in 2010, use a rule "Date > Capture Year is > 2010"
    To search for Photos taken at a specific date or at several dates, use a "calendar" rule. This way, you do nat have to type the date, but can pick it from a mini calendar.

  • Could someone please help me import my iphoto photos into aperture?  They are now just referenced files.

    Hello,
    I am a longtime iphoto user and installed aperture this past december.  At that time I imported all my iphoto photos as referenced files and kept them in their iphoto location.  Since that time, every photo I took was uploaded directly into aperture and stored there.  I am now comfortable enough with aperture that I would like to use it as my primary photo viewer / manipulator and would like to merge my two libraries into one single aperture library.  Unfortunately, I cannot figure out how to do this. 
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.  I then tried reimporting my iphoto library, however, this simply duplicated many of my events (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner).  Both of these attempts did nothing to combine my aperture projects and my iphoto events (which are now seen as a seperate iphoto tab under projects).  I am aware that I can now switch to my iphoto library within aperture in version 3.3, but I just want everything stored in one place and in my aperture library.  Can someone please help me with this?
    The only thing I can think of is deleting all of the iphoto events from aperture and then reimporting them, but I am scared I will either delete something permenantly or that they will simply reimport as referenced files and remain within iphoto. 
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    - Mike

    Mike,
    I am not quite clear about the current state of your iPhoto and Aperture libraries. It looks like you have plenty of broken links to referenced masters in either library. Whatever you do now, it is very important to ensure that you have a working backup, both of your iPhoto Library and your Aperture library, before you try a major reconstruction.
    I tried consolidating all originals yesterday, however this did not seem to have any effect.
    In what way did it not have any effect? From the effects you are describing, it looks like all your original master images have been removed from the iPhoto Library and are now inside the Aperture library as managed masters - at least, this would explain, why trying to import the iPhoto library resulted in duplicated projects (and the duplicated ones were not even adjustable via aperture, and each photo had a little exclamation point in the lower right corner). You removed the original masters from the iPhoto library, and now you could not import it, since the originals are now in Aperture.
    For me it looks, like you simply need to delete the iPhoto images marked with an exclamation mark, for these are already bound to images that you imported earlier. It is perfectly o.k. that the recently imported iPhoto Library appears in a separate section of the projects in your Library Inspector Panel. Each iPhoto event should appear as a project. Aperture will put them there, so you can find them easily.
    You should check now, if the originally imported images, that you imported as referenced, are now managed. If you enable badge overlays you should see no longer any arrows on the thumbnails of your earlier imports. Also, if you select one of these images, you should be able to toggle between original master and version by typing the "M" key.
    Define some smart albums (File > New > Smart album) based on the file status: Add a rule: File status is.
    One smart album: File Status is referenced
    One smart album: File Status is managed
    One smart album: File Status is missing
    The first album should be empty.
    The second album should show all your images you originally imported from iphoto as managed, and that you recently consolidated.
    The third album should show your recent import - the images imported from iPhoto after you consolidated the originals to Aperture and removed these images from iPhoto.
    Post back, when you have checked the file status of your images in Aperture and we can be sure were the images are exactly.

  • I was backing up my iPhone and importing photos onto iPhoto at the same time , then suddenly it says no more space available (i had 48GB before i do this and now i have 18GB) i can't find the back up or the photo anywhere , how can i delete them ?

    Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
    iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
    Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space.
    According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
    When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown asBackups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Reboot and it should go away.
    See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
    You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
    Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
    Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
    ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
    Back up all data now.
    If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
    Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
    sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
    Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
    The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning.
    I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
    When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

  • How do I transfer Face tags that I have on iPhoto '09 to Elements Organizer 10?

    I have spent a ridiculously long time tagging photos in my iPhotos but I would now like to transfer all my photos to Elements Organizer and preserve all the work I had done.
    From Adobe's help website (http://help.adobe.com/en_US/elementsorganizer/using/WS73c05ee9864270ea -417df45c129593bfa05-8000.html) it says I can import the tags along with the photos but does not explain how:
    "Elements Organizer 10 supports importing photos, along with their associated captions, tags, and ratings, from iPhoto. You also have the option to import information such as events and albums to maintain the organization of your library"
    When I follow the steps outlined on the website my photos are imported but there are no tags attached to them. I am particularly interested in keeping my facial tags but I suppose it would be useful to know how to keep other keyword tags and ratings as well.
    I have tried contacting Adobe directly and using their forums but I keep getting told that Adobe offers this service as a "courtesy" and that I should contact Mac/iPhoto for further assistance.
    Has anyone tried going from iPhoto to Elements Organizer with their tags?
    Please Please help!
    Many thanks
    D.M.

    There is no standard field for faces. To transfer information you must put it in the standard place that the new program will use. That does not exist for faces. One work around would be to use keywords. You include the available metadata in a photo by checking all if the boxes when you export the photo(s). What the receiving program is determined by the authors of that program. All iPhoto can do is write what it offers to the IPTC & EXIF fields which it will

  • Aperture and iPhoto - sharing the same library? Synchornizing libraries?

    Hi,
    I would like to ask if it is possible to either:
    1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
    2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
    Thanks.
    My major concerns that keep me from going to Aperture and forgetting iPhoto altogether are:
    a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
    b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
    c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...

    1. Have Aperture and iPhoto share the same library.
    No. Th Aperture Library is a much more complex beast than the iPhoto one. The two apps can shar the same photos though.
    2. Have the edits on one reflect in the library of the other (if it isn't possible to simply "share" the same one).
    No. Neither is an "external editor" like Elements. Importing is a once-off thing. Once you import a pic to Aperture it never references the iPhoto version again - and vice versa.
    It's tempting to think of Aperture as some kind of "iPhoto Pro". It's not. It's an entirely different application. When you edit a pic in iPhoto the apps preserves your original file and creates an entirely new file - the modified version. When you edit a pic in Aperture that doesn't happen. Your edits are recorded in the database and +applied live+ when you view the pic in the Aperture window. This is a very different way of working and the principle reason why the two apps don't - and can't - read each other's Library.
    a. iPhoto has nice sharing capabilities (with Facebook, email, etc.) which I am not sure Aperture will have.
    You can email from Aperture in exactly the same way as iPhoto. There is a Facebook exporter for Aperture (though, given what Facebook does to photos, I can't imagine why anyone would want one) and there are lots of other exporters available as well. Search on MacUpdate.
    b. iPhoto has good iLife integration (slideshows with iTunes music, send to iMovie, etc.)
    Aperture can do the same - and in the same way - if you set it to share Previews with iLife and iWork in the Preferences
    c. my photos have tags in iPhoto that I'm not sure would transfer to Aperture if I did the "import" process...
    They will.
    There are some differences: No Face and Places features in Aperture, Aperture won't deal with video at all, you cannot order postcards and calendars via Aperture and Slideshows are better on iPhoto. But if you share the Previews with iLife, then you can access any of these features you want via iPhoto.
    The best thing to do is download the Aperture trial and experiment with it.

    I've done something a little different but have the same problem, sort of.  I had been with AT&T for years and had iphones but I switched to VZ wireless quite a while back and got a droid.  I just switched back and got the iphone 4S and was downloading apps from the phone having forgot I already had an iTunes account so I created another one. 
    After doing the above (which I'm not sure where to even start) is it possible to get all of the songs from my old account loaded onto my new phone (I haven't even attempted it yet because I don't know where to start)?
