ITunes can't find Aperture Library for iPad sync

I just upgraded from iPhoto '11 to Aperture 3. When trying to sync my iPad, and telling iTunes to now sync photos from Aperture, I get the following message:
"Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
All well and good, but when I go to the preference pane in Aperture, I do not see the referenced option. Under the "Previews" tab (Aperture > Preferences > Previews) I see the options for "Share previews with iLife and iWork" (Always/When quitting Aperture/Never)--is that the preference indication they mean? None of those options results in iTunes being able to see my Aperture library.
Oddly, Aperture can see and import photos on my iPad that are not already in my Library, but claims it cannot send photos in the other direction because the library can't be seen. Frustrating

This is a repost from another thread dealing with what I think is the same issue. It is what ended up working for me:
I have gone through a lot of steps and they all seem to have inched me closer to resolving this issue. My original post may have been cluttered so I'll list the steps I took here. The final step, though very time consuming seems to have corrected most of the problems, though I think I now need to get Aperture to generate new previews for all of my images at a size that the iPad likes (1920x1920).
1. Set Aperture's preference to Always share with iLife applications
2. Set Aperture's preference to generate previews at 1920x1920 or better
3. Repair Permissions via the Aperture Library First Aid function described here (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805). You may want to do one of the more serious Library repairs just to get things organized with the file structure system but "Repair Permissions" seems to have been all I need to do.
4. Go to the top of your image hierarchy and reprocess all of the images with the newest Aperture RAW convertor by control-clicking on Photos and selecting "Reprocess Masters"(if you shoot RAW... and you should shoot RAW). It gives you several options, I chose to preserve all of my edits which will add additional time to the process but is worth it so you don't have to re-edit everything. I selected "All Photos" and "Reprocess Existing Images"
If you have a large library (1TB or more) you are now two days or so into this process.
5. Back up your Vault to save these changes
6. Generate new previews since you changed the size in which Aperture saved the JPEGs it uses to export to Aperture. I believe this is done from the top of the image hierarchy as well by holding down the option key when you right-click on the whole library. But, I am not at this stage yet so I can't be sure about that.

  • ITunes can't load Aperture library for iPad Air sync

    I have a 120gb Aperture library stored on my NAS. Got my new iPad Air and when I go to the Photos tab in sync options, the gray wheel just keeps on spinning indefintely. I don't know if it can't load a library that big, or if there's something else going on. If I create a small Aperture library it works fine. Anyone else had this issue?
    Running 11.1.3 on Mavericks.
    Thanks!

    I'm experiencing exactly the same issue with a 42GB Library. Same issue even if I create a new smaller library. When I click on the device in itunes and then photos I get the grey wheel turning for hours. I tried switching to iPhoto library and the issue seems worse.

  • I installed the upgrade and now itunes can't find my library and doesn't recognize my devices. Using Windows 7. Any help?

    Help!!! I installed the 10.5 update and now itunes can't find my library or recognize my devices. Running on Windows 7.

    For moving your iTunes library, I recommend this method...
    Assuming you use the iTunes default settings where iTunes copied added items to your iTunes folder and organizes your library (meaning - everything is all self contained in the iTunes folder), then all you have to do is drag & drop your iTunes folder (not just the iTunes Music folder you find inside the iTunes folder) to the external drive and copy the entire thing.
    If you want to test that it worked or would like to actually start using it from that location instead, use these instructions when you start iTunes to point it to the new location...

    If you are just testing, then close iTunes after you verify it works, and restart iTunes again with the same instructions and point it back to your internal drive (original) location.

  • Why is it that Itunes can't find album art for "North" by Elvis Costello and others

    Why is it that from all the albums in my Library itunes can not find album art for:
    "North" by Elvis Costello
    "Viva la Vida" by Coldplay
    and "Old Yellow Moon" by Emmylou Harris and Rodney Crowel?

    Earl,
    For iTunes to find the art, it needs to match exactly on the Artist and Album Text.  Minor issues like spacing or punctuation can prevent the match, as can a misspelling like "Crowel" for Crowell."
    Look in the iTunes Store to get the exact text, fix the tags in the corresponding tracks, and then try again to "Get Album Artwork."
    If that still fails, just grab the correct art off the web, and paste it into the Artwork tab.

  • HT5100 iTunes can't find a link for a song I purchased

    iTunes can't find a link for a song I purchased last month. How do I re-download my song? iCloud doesn't allow me to re-download it, so I'm at a loss...

    You would need to contact Apple Support to have your Security Questions reset:

  • Where can I find oci805jdbc library for Solaris?

    I am trying to use the Oracle oci driver on Solaris and am
    getting an error that oci805jdbc is not in the shared library
    path. But I don't think I have it. I looked around the OTN site
    and could only find liboci804jdbc.so but this won't work. Where
    can I find the one for 8.0.5?
    Thanks,

    Hi,
    If you are using Solaris8 then international versions of Solaris8 has the CD labeled Solaris8 Languages. This CD contains required packages for Asian locale.
    I would recommend you to visit http://docs.sun.com for more information.
    In earlier versions, Asian CD contains all packages for Asian locale.
    Thanks,

  • New install of iTunes can't find old library

    Hello, iTunes experts. I'd greatly appreciate your help.
    I put a new hard drive in my computer and did a fresh install of Windows XP Pro and iTunes. My iTunes library has only a few tunes I've purchased, and the rest have been imported from .wav files elsewhere in my computer. Apparently those songs are not actually in iTunes, but just a pointer in the .xml index file.
    I would like to connect my old library up to the new instance of iTunes without re-importing everything and re-purchasing what I've bought in the past.
    I've followed all the instructions I could find on the web (copy the iTunes Music folder from the old hard drive to the new, change the location in Edit --> Preferences --> Advanced tab, do a Consolidate Library, etc.), but I can't seem to make the new instance of iTunes find the library, either in the new location or even the old one. But I am able to re-import songs successfully, although when I try to play them I get a message that this computer is not authorized to play them.
    I'm pretty computer-savvy; this shouldn't be this hard. What trick(s) am I missing?
    Windows XP Pro, iTunes 7.6.2.9, The old hard drive is still in the computer as a secondary drive and the old installation of iTunes on it still works (for now).
    Thanks very much,
    Ted

    These sorts of msi-related troubles have gotten more complicated to deal with ever since Microsoft pulled the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from their Download Center on June 25. First we have to find a copy of the utility.
    Let's try Googling. (Best not to use Bing, I think.) Look for a working download site for at least version 3.0 of the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. After downloading the utility installer file (msicuu2.exe), scan the file for malware, just in case. (I use the free version of Malwarebytes AntiMalware to do single-file scans for that.)
    If the file is clean, to install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you've downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove".
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try installing iTunes again. Does the install go through properly this time?
    (If you do find a clean download site for the correct version of CleanUp, please don't tell me where it is. Without wishing to sound paranoid (although I grant it does sound paranoid), there is a non-zero chance that posting links to download locations for the utility here at Discussions leads to that download location being shut down.)

  • ITunes can't see Aperture Library

    Last week I bought a new MacBook Pro and have just about got all my user data copied over and every thing configured the way I want it to be. But I'm having a small problem with iTunes seeing my Aperture library.
    When I try to set up photo sharing to my Apple TV or to sync to my iPhone I get this error message:
    I don't understand how to fix this since I have told Aperture to "always" share previews with iLife and iWork apps. Is there an option I'm missing? Any suggestions will be appreciated.
    Regards,
    Michael

    I made a duplicate copy of a picture and did some editing of it.  I added sepia tone, etc.  When I go to Shutterfly to upload the edited picture, I can't find it.  I see the original, but not the edited duplicate.  I shut down the computer last night and let it update and checked it again this morning, but still can't find the edited picture.  I know it is "in there" somewhere, because when I open Aperture 3, I can see the edited pic.  Any thoughts?  Thank you.

  • ITunes can't see Aperture Library - iMovie can't see most videos in Aperture Library

    Issues:
    Nearly all of my videos in the Aperture/iPhoto library do not show up when I select iPhoto library option in iMovie and iMovie is unable to locate them in any other way. 
    iTunes does not recognize my Aperture library, and I get the following message:
    "Your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications."
    After reading through forums and multiple Genius Bar appointments here is most of what I have done:
    Created multiple new Aperture libraries, selected them in Aperture, rebooted, switched back and forth - Note:  iTunes DID recognize the new blank libraries
    Booted Aperture with the Command + Option keys and run all three options to repair permssions and even rebuilt the database
    Booted Aperture with the Option key and selectedthe library I was using all along (this worked for someone in a forum)
    Opened iPhoto (not Aperture) and selected an option to share photos
    Run "Verify Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
    Run "Repair Disk Permissions" many times under Disk Utility
    Reinstalled OSX
    Reinstalled Aperture
    Reinstalled iTunes
    Run a virus and malware scan (no issues)
    Verified that Aperture was set to share previews and had a Genius go through all of my options to ensure they were correct in iTunes, Aperture, and iPhoto
    Have ran "Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs" from the Command + Option + R recovery partition multiple times.  Each time it just hangs for hours, the latest attempt ran for over 24 hours before I finally stopped it.
    Oh yes, and I found and deleted the file com.apple.iApps.plist
    None of these things fixed either of my issues.  According the the Genius at my last appointment, now I have to call Apple Care and pay to get support.  I must have misunderstood what the Genius Bar was about when I bought my Mac and why I purchased the One to One training.  Before I call Apple Care, I was hoping someone might have run across this and can help me.
    I asked the Genius if I now need to just create a new Aperture Library and move all of my content to it (that was the last resort for someone in a forum); however, he was concerned that even if this might work that I probably have deeper permission and/or other issues that need to be addressed and that doing so would not fix the root cause.
    Thanks for taking the time to read through this issue.

    It was suggested that I post this in the Aperture forum, so I did.  I didn't know that you couldn't delete or edit your own posts on this site.  I apologize for the duplicate post and this can be deleted if an admin is so inclined.

  • Itunes can't find music library on computer

    Somehow I've moved my music on my computer and itunes cannot find any of it. I can't play anything on the computer, an exclamation point is next to it and the computer tells me itunes cannot find the music. Help! What did I do and how do I fix this? Where should my library be saved? It's currently under itunes folder in my music... is there somewhere else it should be?

    I have the exact same problem and came here looking for an answer. Does anyone have one?!? I am so frustrated. All my music is on my computer and has not been moved yet iTunes suddenly can't find it and I am so mad right now!! When I went to update my iPod with the one new song I bought from iTunes it deleted EVERYTHING except my purchased music and now it can't find anything. WE're talking 500+ songs and I am really upset so I hope someone here has an answer!!

  • IPhoto can't find Aperture library files

    Since Apple added the ability to open Aperture libraries in iPhoto, I've been unable to so with my main Aperture library.  If I create a new library in Aperture, no problem.  Upgraded the library when the latest versions were released, performed all command-option first aid when opening, multiple times, duplicated, moved the library between different drives, relocated originals (it was completely managed), checked and played with permissions, all to no avail.  When I open iPhoto, it brings up a notification that it's updating thumbnails.  Then I immediately get the error "The photo “xxxxxxxx.JPG” could not be opened, because the original item cannot be found."  I cancel and another immediate error, this continues on seemingly forever, and, with thousands of pictures in the library, I've basically got to Force Quit.  The library is on an external drive and I've tried this on 3 Macs with the same result.  If I'm within Aperture and search for any of the photos that iPhoto couldn't find, they're there and Aperture can show me them in the Finder.  However, what I noticed today is that if I perform a manual search from the Finder of the library, it doesn't find the file.  Oddly, if there are similar names; img_001 and img_001(1), searching for "img_001" won't show the first exactly matching file at all, but will show the second.  Although, I can browse and they're sitting there right next to each other.  Again, same behavior on multiple Macs.  I'm thinking that the Finder behavior and iPhoto issue may be related.  Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,
    Dave

    Léonie,
    Results as follows:
    Mac-Mini:~ Dave$ ls -B /Volumes/My\ Passport\ for\ Mac/Photos/IMG_0030.JPG
    /Volumes/My Passport for Mac/Photos/IMG_0030.JPG
    Mac-Mini:~ Dave$ ls -B /Volumes/My\ Passport\ for\ Mac/Photos/IMG_0030\ \(1\).JPG
    /Volumes/My Passport for Mac/Photos/IMG_0030 (1).JPG
    The first command shows one of the problem files.  Second command shows a similar file that has no issues. Nothing apparent problems to me from this test.
    I also copied the problem file along with the non-problem file with the similar filename (1) to my desktop.  When I begin any search string, the problem file disappears.  If I completely rename it including extension, it disappears. If I make a copy and change it's name, neither show up.  It seems as though there is some attribute of this file, all copies, and a bunch of others in my photo database, that is causing some kind of issue.  I've taken a look at both file's info and there appears to be no differences, including permissions.  Appears to be more of a file system/finder problem.  I may try a different community.
    Thanks again.

  • For some reason itunes can't find original file for music.  If I have purchased from Itunes do I have to re-purchase?

    I keep losing music from my library because "itunes cannot locate original file".  Why does my computer lose this?  If I have purchased in itunes, can I copy again for free?  how?  Thanks.

    If you are losing music which can mean the database in iTunes is not stable. Maybe you should do under File > Library > Organize Library > Consolidate Files.
    Thanks and I did find the link, it now states that they have been downloaded but how do I copy thise files into my itunes or how does my itunes find those files?  Again thank you for your help
    Downloaded means you already have it in iTunes. If you've deleted them then you will see a cloud symbol. Click the cloud symbol and it will download into iTunes. (iCloud is your backup for all your purchased items)
