ITunes - Problem recognising photos from Aperture 3

I'm having issues with iTunes recognising my photos from Aperture 3.
For example, in my default Aperture library, in one of my projects it has about 2000 photos but when i went to the iTunes photo tab for my devices (iPhones, AppleTV or iPad) and select that particular project, it indicates that there are only 229 photos.
I've tried to fix this issue by creating a new library and copying photos from my default to the new library and same issue is still there. I've tried to fix it by deleting all the ipod photo cache within Aperture 3 package content.
Nothing worked. This problem only started about 3 months ago. Before, iTunes would recognise all 2000 photos within the project and sync to my devices all the photos. Now iTunes only sync across 229 photos.
For each device, whether it is my AppleTV, my iPhone or iPad it all says 229 photos.
My AppleTV has about 40 GB spare and my iPad has more then 15 GB spare and iTunes still reports 229 Photos for that project.
Could someone please help me!?
Thanks in advance

Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

  • Problem syncing photo from Aperture

    I have a picture in my Aperture library (JPEG image) that displays OK in Aperture but when I sync the album to my iPhone, it appears as a black square. I have removed the entire album when syncing in iTunes, disconnected the phone, reconnected the phone to iTunes and ticked the box to add the album back to the phone. Still, the image in question is a black square.
    I have also removed the photo from the Aperture album, quit Aperture, added the image back to the album and re-synced the phone but it still won't display properly.
    Any ideas?

    This is the same problem I am having. And it was a problem with 3.0.1 also.
    As FM said "I can not mark 'Selected Folders' in iTunes. It appears Sync phots from the folder that I want, but 'All folders' is still marked."
    There appears to be no way to change from "all folders" to "selected folders". All relevant buttons are grayed out.
    I would love to attach a screenshot to clarify …

  • Problem Importing Photos from Aperture 3 into iPhoto '11

    I store my photos in Aperture 3, but import them into iPhoto to create calendars, cards, etc. I usually work with RAW or high resolution JPG images in Aperture. However, when I import these into the new iPhoto '11, it automatically converts my RAW images into very low resolution images (e.g., 100-200k instead of at least 1-2MB). I cannot seem to find an option to change this. This was not a problem with the old iPhoto. To import, I start in iPhoto, then click "Show Aperture Library", then drag my photos/folder. I would like to have an option to import images as RAW files, or just high res JPGs.
    I know I can export my Aperture images to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto for a temporary fix, but that is such as hassle, especially since iPhoto and Aperture are supposed to work well together. Thanks for any suggestions!

  • Cannot import photos from aperture

    Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
    What am I missing?
    Thanks,
    George

    I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it.  I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
    Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
    What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
    If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
    The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
    Check also the settings in Image Capture:
    In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
    If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".

  • Changing Sync photos from: Aperture to iPhoto on iTunes

    I marked my previous question as solved by mistake.
    I still have a problem in iTunes to sync my photos to my iPhone 6. It shows only available "Copy photos from: Aperture".
    I would like to switch this back iPhoto and cannot find the way.
    Thank you.

    Well, that was an interesting idea, Colin, but it didn't work. I opened iTunes, and then dragged the Aperture repository into it. It seemed to acknowledge it (when I dragged it onto iTunes, the "dragging" icon wasn't x'ed out), but it didn't add anything to the library.
    If you try to do an "Add to Library" from iTunes, and then navigate to the Aperture repository, the repository folder is grayed out. It can't be selected. Same for a backup Vault created from Aperture.
    Thanks for the suggestion, though. It's always worth experimenting. (Assuming everything is backed up. )

  • Possible to sync photos from Aperture to iPod via iTunes?

    When I used iPhoto, I set iTunes to sync photos from the iTunes Library with my iPod. Now that I use Aperture, there is no equivalent option to have iTunes look at the original photos in Aperture and copy them to the iPod so I can view them.
    I can copy a Vault from Aperture to the iPod, but that's like copying any other data file -- it is stored, but photos cannot be viewed.

  • Cannot sync photos from Aperture using iTunes

    Yesterday I took 16 photos using a Canon 5D Mark III and uploaded them into Aperture and created a new project to hold them. The I wanted to transfer them into my iPhone so I went to iTunes, connected the iPhone via USB cable and in the left hand side bar under Photos I clicked "Sync Photos", selected "Chose photos from Aperture" and "Events from the last 3 months" and in the events list that appears below, the new project appears checked.The I clicked on Sync and left the iPhone and the MBP connected overnight and it stayed in Step 7 of 7 Importing Photos....
    Any ideas on why I have not been able to import that project from Aperture into the iPhone using iTunes?

    Make sure everything is installed and up to date...
    iTunes
    iPod Updater
    Updating iPod's Software
    Also, try syncing from a different folder with photos. See if that one works.
    Finally, see if this works/applies/gets you anywhere...
    iTunes for Windows: "Disk is locked" or "iTunes folder cannot be found" when installing or opening iTunes

  • Use photos from Aperture 3 as Wallpapers problem

    I chose photos from Aperture projects as desktop wallpaper by right-clicking on desktop>change desktop background. But the photos all shrank to maybe half size on desktop. I used to store my wallpapers in iphoto, so I can process them a lit bit when I want to. I am planning on migrating from iphoto to aperture 3, and I know aperture 3 can do a much better job in processing. But unable to display wallpapers in right size really bothers me. Anybody can help with this? Thanks in advance.

    You might find reading [this article|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3781|Aperture 3: How to optimize Aperture for the best looking slideshow] useful in expanding on what PilotGuy74 has said. Although it's written about slideshows, what they explain there applies to your wallpapers situation too.
    I have already missed the simplicity of iphoto. Maybe aperture is just too pro to me.
    Don't be put off. Aperture is a very complex powerful application - you can't expect to learn how to use it all, all at once. Take it a bit at a time. Learn a little as you go and you'll find that, over time, you will develop your skills with it.

  • Dark photos from Aperture, iPhoto or Drag and drop

    All imported photos (from aperture, iphoto or drag&droped) whitin a project are very dark in the viewer, and in the final video (itunes, export with several options...). The histogram levels of the image are low. The preview image in the project looks fine.
    I tried repair permissions with disk Utility, system clean with Onyx... the problem remains.
    Thanks

    I'm having the same problem, but only after I installed the iMovie 9.0.1 update. Before then my still images looked fine when imported.
    But now, my pictures are coming up so dark as to be unusable. I was forced to export them as slideshow movies from iPhoto and import them as clips to iMovie last time I tried to use still images.

  • After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

    I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
    When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
    I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
    I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
    (I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

    Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

  • IPad quit synching photos from Aperture...

    I've been very happily syncing photos from Aperture thru iTunes to my iPad. But just recently, when the sync starts copying photos I get the message "The iPad '...' cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found."
    I've tried numerous things without success...
    Restored the iPad
    Deleted all photos from the iPad & then re-selected them for syncing
    Repaired permissions w/in Aperture
    Rebuilt the database w/in Aperture
    I've tried syncing one small album (that I really have no interest in) and it did sync ok. I've tried syncing old iPhoto albums instead of Aperture and they sync ok. But I cannot get the desired albums/events/faces in Aperture to sync (I've tried syncing just individual albums/events/faces, thinking there was a problem in one of them, but haven't found one I want to work yet).
    Recently updated to iTunes 10.1.2 -- don't think I've sync'ed changes in photo albums since that update.
    Running Aperture 3.1.1.
    Suggestions? Any idea what "the required file" might be? Thanks!

    Try deleting the iPod Photo Cache folder. See:

  • Ipad won't sync with photos from Aperture - library cannot be found

    Ok I give up. When trying to sync my photos onto my new ipad from Aperture in iTunes I keep getting the message "iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found. Open the preferences window in Aperture and enable the preference to share previews with other applications. Well the library is where it should be in the Home folder and then pictures. I have the latest version of iTunes and Aperture. The only similar setting I can find in Aperture preferences is under Previews and Share Previews with ilife and iwork, no mention of itunes?
    I've gone into my Aperture show contents and deleted the cache folder ipod photo cache (I previously synced to my iphone 3GS). It works syncing to iphoto, as I have tested it and the iphoto is in the same folder as the Aperture library so they are in the right location.
    I am now at a loss as to what to try next......PLEASE HELP ME....
    I don't want to have to have a Aperture library and an iphoto library on the go!

    Hi,
    iTunes cannot sync photos to the ipad because your Aperture Library could not be found.
    If you have an external drive connected to your Mac, disconnect that, restart your Mac, restart your iPad and try syncing photos from Aperture.

  • How can I show photos from aperture via airplay?

    We try to show the photos via airplay to apple TV. now does that work?

    Hi Bob,
    I am trying to do it like the instructions by using iTunes to show photos from my Aperture library.  When I select this in iTunes no photos are linked and thus I cannot show them using my Apple TV.  Are you streaming directly to your Apple TV from the Aperture application?

  • Copy some folders of photos from Aperture to iPad

    I want to copy 3 or 4 folders of pics from my Mac (Aperture) to an ipad. when I sync a folder it works and then when i sync a 2nd folder it deletes the original synced one. Can I put 3 or 4 folders into one folder and sync that, but how will it display on the ipad

    Are you syncing a folder in the Finder or a folder in Aperture?
    Each sync will replace the previously synced content. So you need to sync more than a library item from Aperture at once.
    You can select multiple Aperture albums, projects, Faces, Places, when you sync your iPad with your mac in iTunes.
    Just set the "Photos" tab in iTunes to "Sync Photos from" to "Aperture", not to "Folder".
    See this link to a support document:   iTunes: Syncing photos
    It shows, how to set iTunes to sync from Aperture or iPhoto.

  • Can I transfer photos from Aperture to the iPhone?

    Hi
    Can I transfer photos from Aperture to the iPhone?
    Thanks, rob

    Yes! Be sure you create Albums of any photo's you want in Aperture.
    When you dock your iPhone and go to iTunes, under the "Photo's" section, you will see a drop down menu. Select "Aperture". Then your Albums will appear in the list below.
    Thanks, Scott K.
