Just upgraded from iPhoto 11..help?

Ok, so I watched the apple video on importing, and did some reading on it, but here are my issues after importing (I'm using Aperture 3.1.2):
1) my project thumbnails are blurry (no matter what size I make them). They are clear in iPhoto.
2) Aperture seemed to import everything..including originals? For example, photos that I've cropped or rotated, I have the original as well as my edits...But obviously, I don't want these things..I want the edited version. Is there anyway to get rid of the original photos and keep only the edits that I've done?
3) When I imported, Aperture said it would need 4GB of space. What is this space for? Did it duplicate some photos or am I missing something?
When I imported, I chose 'import from iPhoto Library', and left photos in the iPhoto location. Should I have imported them into Aperture? Doesn't this make copies of my photos though (I don't want this).
Sorry if these are lame questions...I'm new!
Thanks

OK...so Aperture didn't copy my pics? Does this mean there is only one copy of these photos? If so, then fine, I can keep them where they are.
Do I have to go through and get rid of the images individually? I guess what I'm asking is, why did iPhoto not show these pictures, yet Aperture is showing my edits, plus the originals? I can't figure out how to view only my final edits and not each version. Does this make sense? (ie. I don't need to see the original in my events..just the final version of my edit).
Thanks.
(ps. it also seems my 'hidden' photos in iphoto aren't viewable in Aperture. The event says there's 4 photos there, but blank when I double click on it.) Hmmmm....

Just upgraded to iPhoto '11...missing Smart Albums and Flags...Help???

I just upgraded from iPhoto '08 to iPhoto '11 via the App Store. While it appears that all of my photos are still on my computer, when I try to open my Smart Albums, it says that they contain "no photos." Also, it appears that none of my photos marked with flags are still flagged. Can anyone help?

How did you upgrade the library? Did you just open it with iPhoto 11 and let it convert the library to the new version? If so then try the following:
Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

MobileMe albums not visible in Aperture after upgrade from iPhoto

I've just upgraded from iPhoto to Aperture and all went well, except that my mobileme albums aren't appearing. I published a test album which worked, but my existing ones don't appear.
I've read on another thread that a dodgy character in an album name caused a similar problem but I can't see anything that looks odd in my mobileme album names.
Any ideas?

I had the exact problem and found the solution here.

Just upgraded and iPhoto said it has to upgrade library but keeps freezing. Have tried it too many times now and I need those photos ASAP HELP!!

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive

I've just upgraded to Iphoto v9.4.1 and cannot import photos from my hard drive. no matter what method I use, either click and drag or through the File menu. All I get is a message 'Preparing to import' - file size is less than 300 kb

As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

I have just upgraded from a Macbook to a Macbook Air. I have been using a iomega external hard drive for Time Machine, which use a Firewire. However, Macbook Air's do not have a Firewire port and i cannot find an adaptor anywhere. Can anyone help?? Thanks

There has never been a reliable firewire ---> USB adapter suitable for external high speed storage. This was a major issue when the MacBooks lost the firewire port a number of years ago (Apple subsequently brought it back).
The only high speed port on the Air is the ThunderBolt port. There are external ThunderBolt drive options out there, but they're somewhat more expensive than traditional USB/FireWire options.

I have just upgraded from the old G5 to a new one, however I can't log and capture on the newest FCPs off my Sony Z1.. please help, deadline coming soon

I have recently just upgraded from my old white powerpc G5 which did not allow me to edit in HD and I had to down convert all my footage to edit in DV. I have bought the newest FCP studio, and I had to order a new firewire as my new desktop does not take the old one that I had before. The new firewire that I have which is the only one that fits into my iMac from my sony Z1 is a Firewire IEEE1394-B (800) 9 pin to 4 pin .
My Mac : Processor- 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory- 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
All my settings are set to HD and the ilink convert is off, and VCR is set to auto. Why is it not reading my Z1???
Please someone help me, i have been using FCP for years now and have not come across this problem before...

camera not recognised in system profiler just says maximum speed up to 800mb/sec
still says "unable to locate the following external devices:
HDV (1440x1080) 50i" in FCP when i try easy setup
Try a different cable first ... it might be a connection problem
VCR HDV/DV- Auto
Component- 1080i/576i
i.link convert- off
down convert letter box
A/V-DV OUT- off
Bit of guesswork here - haven't used a Sony in a while - but try these:
• HDV/DV to HDV
• downconvert off/none?

Just upgraded to iphoto 9 and photos are gone

Hello i just upgraded to iphoto 11 and most of my photos from my airport disk are gone. Only the ones i imported this year are recovered. HELP!
I have photos of my clients that are very very important.
f

With respect
Not having an up-to-date back up is like driving without a seatbelt. You may well be fine but if something goes wrong you'll be worse off than if you were wearing one.
Upgrading anything without a back up is the same, except now you're driving blindfolded and drunk, so something is much more likely to go wrong. And if it does you'll be much much worse off than if you had one.
Next: Is that a network connection to that Disk? If so, then it's not a appropriate location for an iPhoto Library.
iPhoto needs to have the Library sitting on disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Users with the Library sitting on disks otherwise formatted regularly report issues including, but not limited to, importing, exporting, saving edits and sharing the photos.
See this article
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5168
for more. Note also the comment:
“Additionally, storing the iPhoto library on a network rather than locally on your computer can also lead to poor performance or data loss.”
So, before we can start to figure out a solution you'll need to confirm that the library is on a correctly formatted disk and with a wired connection to the Mac.
Then tell us the size of the Library in the Finder.

Upgrading from iphoto 4 to i photo 7 on Leopard

How can I upgrade from iphoto 4 to iphoto7 (08) - and keep all my albums/ keep the dates the photos were shot - all that good stuff?
I am trying to upgrade from i photo 4.0.3 to i photo 7.1.4 - it keeps erasing all my albums and massively duplicating the size of my photo library ( I think it is duplicating photos) .. went from 47 GB to over 100 GB after it was through "upgrading" .. this happens when choosing the upgrade option after it says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library"
choose upgrade and then I wait over and hour as it goes through all my pictures - some out of order -- and I see some twice . . .
What is the correct procedure here? I just got an i mac, early 08, running leopard . When installing leopard- i chose the option to firewire to my old ti book (G4) to copy everything over . . . My I photo library was on an external drive -- so I've dragged that folder into the pictures folder of the new mac . it knows where the folder is ... finds it -- then just goes haywire .
Help!?

Nope ,
didnt work --
the error seems to be happening at this stage (just a guess ) -- It says "Your photo library will not be readable by previous versions of iPhoto after the upgrade. The upgrade process may take several minutes depending on the number of photos in the library."
then I choose to "import the photos" . . .
now , the first time I chose this - I thought I should pick the option not to import the pictures ... this was actually kind of great - cause I wanted a way to get all of my original photos out of their i tunes folders -- which is what this option did ... (good thing I had a backup!) Ironically - this time - Iphoto contained all of my albums and such --- but they were all empty -- and there were no photos! . .
ok -- so I tried to go back and import the photos -- would it know to put them in the right albums? nope .
Ok --
so I deleted all of that - and dragged my backup i photo from external drive #2 back into external drive #1 . . went through the process agan - and this time i photo has all of my albums- but they are all empty -- and all the 34,000 pictures occur under an event that occur today . ...
wrong - delete - start over again . .
so what do I do now?
I still have an i photo lib -- the same as the original -- I've kept that backed up . ..
should I reinstall i photo 7 (08) to wipe it clean and try it one more time ?
Sould I just use i photo 4? - can I on leopard?
Is there a tutorial/instructions on upgrading from 4 to '08? that would be ideal. - I see I'm not the only one struggling with this issue -- as the thread you responded to here illustrates .

looking forward to hearing back , thanks!

Just upgraded from OS 10.3.9 to 10.4: Safari problems

I just upgraded from Mac OS 10.3.9 to Tiger 10.4; everything is working fine, except as follows:
1. Software Update does not work. It seems that it tries to connect to the Apple servers (I can see the router and modem lights blinking), but a connection does not take place (the lights blink a couple of times every few seconds).
2. Safari connects without any problems to this and other Apple Support forums, but not to any of the bookmarks in the Bookmarks menu.
Also, I believe that I may have caused the problem, and will give the details hoping that my problems with Safari may help others solve theirs. I may have made a mistake right after "upgrading" to OS 10.4, specifically after the required restart.
When my iMac G5 restarted, a registration form showed on the screen. The form was the data on my account. My account is not an Administrator account, but a "User" account instead. There was an option to change the account's "User's name," so I went ahead and slightly changed it by adding a "dot" to my first name initial (I don't use my first name, just my initial).
-The old account name was as follows: R
-So I changed the account name by adding a "dot" (.) right after the initial, to look as follows: R.
Right after making the change, I had the option to immediately connect to Apple and REGISTER, however, a connection could not be established or the computer was not responding, so I clicked on "Register Later" and quit.
Mail works fine, and so the DSL modem and router. I can access this forum, but Safari tries but can't to connect to other forums.
Do you think that by changing the User Account's name I may have screwed things up? I have tried MS's Explorer, but it too shows the same problems.
Any ideas on what to do at this point?

Steven: I know that the problems I had with Safari is not similar to yours, but I ended erasing the hard drive and reinstalling Tiger four times (I have posted the full story in a couple of Apple forums).
On the pre-final try i removed the router from the computer and only used the DSL modem. However, I decided to use Safari between Software updates, and again Safari stopped working, as well as Software Update. I had removed every USB and Firewire cable, set-up the network to stay active without interruptions, set the computer to stay awake forever, the screen to stay awake for over three hours, and the hard drive to stay awake.
Then on the final erasing/installing, I made sure that I didn't use Safari until every little update was finished all the way to a complete Mac OS 10.4.2. Once that was accomplished I used Safari, and I have been using it since.
A friend of mine is upgrading the router's firmware, just in case that was par t of the problem, but I don't think it was, since the router was out of the picture on the pre-final session.
I believe that for some reason OS 10.4 screwed the Network panel functions. If you just look at the settings they seem to be OK, but not really. The problem may be related to the G5 CPU and how Mac OS 10.4 works with it. While I was having a myriad of network problems, I could connect to the Internet, retrieve my mail, etc. using my son's Mini, as well as an old Mac 7300. Both of these worked just fine connected to the network (router and DSL). Only my iMac G5 would not work.

Upgrade from iPhoto 09 to Aperture 3.3

I am thinking about getting Aperture 3.3 and upgrading from iPhoto 09. I don't think I see an advantage of using iPhoto in the future. Do you still have the option to just convert over to an Aperture library (pre 3.3) without sharing between libraries? Thanks, Jeff

If your current iPhoto version is iPhoto 9.3.x, and you opened the iPhoto Library at least once in this version, you can simply open your iPhoto library in Aperture 9.3.1; no conversion necessary.

Aperure Upgrading from Iphoto

I am considering upgrading from Iphoto. I am currently using a trial version. In Iphoto under edit there are some effects such as matte and fade....how do I access these in aperture?

iPhoto and Aperture are different programs designed by different teams of engineers for different tasks and different users. There are far more differences than similarities. It is probably best to consider the shift from iPhoto to Aperture as a move, rather than an upgrade. (Apple does a disservice to its iPhoto users in positioning Aperture as an a logical extension of iPhoto.) It's a great program -- but there is lots to learn.
Fortunately, there are also many tools to help you learn. Have your watched all the video's Apple provides? They can be quite helpful, particularly to show you some of what you can do with Aperture. You should familiarize yourself with the content of the first seven chapters of the User Manual -- available on-line as well as from the application Help menu. These introduce the interface, and explain some of the basic concepts.
I don't use iPhoto, so I can't give any direction for achieving a matte or fade look, though "Fade" sounds like a reduction in saturation and perhaps an increase in luminance. Using the sliders in the Exposure, Enhance, and Levels Bricks to try to achieve these would be a good way to start learning what they do. Although there are Adjustment Presets which attempt to provide some "looks", the strength of Aperture comes from having all of the tools at your disposal.
