"Loading Assets" unable to import

Working with Arerture 3.4.5
I'm trying to import from a CF card, and while all 1355 jpeg thumbnails are loaidng snappily, I can't start importing them, as I'm stuck on "loading assets" and never unstuck.
I've tried shutting down, rebooting, a different usb port, etc...  Sometimes it will show the ImportCHECKED BUTTON AS CLICKABLE, SOMETIMES IT WILL NOT.
What's going on?

Try deleting your preferences to reset import.

  • SD card fails to import - generates endless "Loading Assets" routine.

    I seem to have a dodgy 8GB SD card, although it functions in the camera (Canon SX30), and I can manually transfer the photos into Aperture 3.2.1. Attempting to use the Import functions in Aperture result in zero activity apart from at lower left of the Aperture window, where the spinning paddlewheel endlessly spins while Aperture is equally endlessly "Loading Assets".
    On the first occasion this happened, after a day or two elapsed the message popped up telling me "not to be a naughty boy and properly eject the media" (although I rarely lapse in that regard). After ackowledging same, Aperture appeared to have resumed normal operations.
    At the second probing attempt to import from this card,the malfunction resumed, and I have reformatted the card in the camera.
    My quetion is: "Is the any way I can break the loop?"
    As I view the situation, force quitting is not required because both iMac and Aperture are otherwise working fine.

    It's been a while since you posted this question. I read in another post that it had to do with photos deleted on the SD-card. Once you 'Empty Trash' for the SD-card, the problem should disappear. At least that was what happened in my case.

  • 3.01: iPhone import stuck on "Loading assets"

    I'm trying to import pics and movies from my 3GS iPhone. When I try to import them, there are no thumbnails visible and Aperture shows the message "loading assets" in the activity window, but that's it. Am I the only one experiencing this? If not, is there a solution? Of course I could import them through photo loader (or whatever it's called in English) but I'd rather not...

    This is becoming a bit of a solo thread, but never mind.
    Turns out that the import setting "RAW+JPEG Pairs" isn't only about RAW/JPEG pairs but about all files. My setting was "Import RAW files only", which I construed as "If the camera is set to save both RAW and JPEG files, import only the RAW files" but which actually seems to be "Do not import JPEGs, only RAWs".

  • Aperture stuck importing photos, loading asset frozen

    aperture stuck importing photos, loading asset frozen

    I found a sequence that has worked for me a couple of times, first with a managed library and also with a referenced library. Once you see in the Activity window that nothing is progressing, select the root Folder Import and hit Pause Task. This should pause everything. Now, go and try to Quit Aperture. This will send you a warning that you are Importing, etc. and give you either Quit or Continue. Select Continue.
    Go back to the Activity window and select the root Folder Import and hit Run Task. It should be working again.

  • Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

    Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import  Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

    After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
    That is a good news.  We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
    But this is puzzling:
    I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
    iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
    Underneath the box is written:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library    Create New    Choose
    I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not?  Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it?  Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

  • Aperture 3.3.1 stuck on loading assets

    Trying to import photos to Aperture 3.3.1 on iMac.  It just sticks on 'Loading Assets" and after a few seconds, it shows TWO SD cards in the Import field! Neither loads any photos to Aperture.  Up till to today, the same equipement has allowed me to import with no problems.  And yet on my MBA 11", the same SD card and reader work perfectly!!
    Any suggestions?
    Many thanks,

    Well you might try moving your aperture cache to the desktop along with the preferences. First read   http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805     Remove the Aperture preference located in     ~/Library/Preferences...   where ~ is your home lib.  look for (com.apple.Aperture.plist)  You might want some parts of the preference back so the desktop is better than the trash.
    Glad I could help 

  • Unable to import metadata using OBI 11g Admin tool

The OBI Admin tool client and database is installed under other user's account. Is that the reason I am unable to import tables?

    Can someone shed some light on this issue.

  • Aperture 3.5.1 Stuck "loading assets...."

    I have 164,532 items in my main Aperture library (when I click on Photos under Projects, that is what it tells me). When I connect my iPad, or iPhone for that matter, to my Mac Pro 2009 Mavericks (20GB RAM at the moment, as one of the sticks went bad), After a while it looks like it is showing all the pictures/videos on the iPad (or iPhone), when I try to import, I can select the images/videos I want to import, but nothing happens when I click the import button. "loading assets..." never stops. I can leave the iPad connected all night, nothing will change by morning. So, with my iPhone, I created an empty library, and imported all of my pictures/videos from my iPhone without any issues. Both my iPad and my iPhone (had) have over 10,000 pictures+at least 100 videos on them. Is there a fix for this? Thanks.
    Doug

    Do you have the option "Do not import Duplicates" enabled? If you already imported from the Photo Steam, this option will prevent downloading again. That you could import into a  new, empty library suggests that either the library needs repairing or you already are having imported these photos earlier, perhaps from the Photo Stream.
    If yu cannot access the Import setting, try the following: Open the "Activity Viewer" before importing. When you are seeing Aperture stuck on "Loading Assets", try to select that line in the Activity window. If possible, press "Cancel task".
    In any case, repair your Aperture library after the force quit.

    Your Aperture library may have become corrupted, so that the Import dialog cannot access the database files inside.

  • Loading Assets 3.0 - OSX10.6.2 - Demo

    G'day all,
    Just downloaded the demo of Aperture and it's not doing anything when I click on "Import" and navigate to my personal photo storage area on my Macbook Pro 13" running OSX 10.6.2. (The folder they are in is called ~~PHOTOS~~. It just keeps spining the circle thing and says "Loading assets".
    I've turned off "Recognise faces" or whatever that option is called.
    I've clicked on "Decide later" for access to camera and don't want to click on "Use Aperture" would that cause a problem ?
    The program looks awesome from the demos I've seen online but I can't even look at any images yet.
    Please help !

    I just saw that other thread when I was at work and couldn't wait to get home to try.
    The tilde ~ was the problem. As soon as I removed it and replaced it with a minus sign - it opened up the images.
    Now it's time to see what this program can do !

  • Unable to import videos into iTunes library

    For the past few week I have been unable to import videos from my computer into the iTunes library using either the drag and drop or import file methods. I am using the latest version of iTunes and a second generation iPod touch.
    I have tried using file formats: wmv, av1, mpeg & mp.4 but all refuse to load into the library. To test I have changed a file name of a video that was successfully loaded into the library a while ago and this file also refuses to load. I have also used 'Smart FLV Converter' to convert the files to 'MP4 for iPod' and this converted file also cannot be imported. All of the files play OK from the desktop.
    Any suggestions as to how to overcomne this problem would be appreciated

    I don't know if this helps but my iTunes was crashing everytime I tried to add a file located in the "My videos" folder. I moved the files to "My Music" Folder and had no problems. Seems like a simple/stupid solution but it worked for me. I still don't know why it wasn't allowing me to do it in the first place.

  • Aperture frozen on "loading assets"

    Recently upgraded to Yosemite and Aperture 3.6.  Never had this problem prior.  Aperture, when importing camera card (or from iPhone) is frozen on "loading assets".  Sometimes I see no previews of photos and sometimes I see a few previews but am never able to actually hit import button.  I've tried rebooting,  I've tried opening up more hard drive space, I've tried to import to different locations, I've tried importing from my iPhone: None of this worked.  Please help.

    I've got the same problem and I've done a fair bit of testing, without any real solution.
    I've repaired the database, and that made no difference. I've started with a blank photo.library and that made no difference.
    One of the tests is this:
    Insert an SD card or camera (via USB), then Aperture 3.6 (A3.6) starts up itself, and the import routine starts. It says "Loading Assets". If you click on the swirling circular icon, a window pops up with the Activity. You can compare the progress of file importing in this Activity window with the number of Imported files notified at the bottom right of A3.6, which also says number of files imported.
    It should go through the SD card and complete the task and the activity ends.
    However, instead, randomly, it often gets stuck, part way.
    When I eject the SD card in Finder and reassert it, the routine starts up again.
    I've done this repeatedly, with my Photo.Library and a blank database/library. I've used two SD cards, on 1Gb the other 2Gb.
    I've tried it with A3.6 running and I've tried it by closing A3.6 each time and starting the program fresh.
    Each time I get random results. It starts the import and freezes after a random number of photos. Sometimes, it stops after just 6 photos, sometime its stops after 156. Occasionally, it completes the task and does all photos (on these SD cards that's about 220 or 415 photos).
    There seems to be no rhyme or reason.
    In 10 recorded tests (out of many unrecorded), it completed as follows:
    1) 155 photos imported
    2) 176
    3) 136
    4) 156
    5) All 415 photos, task completed
    6) 256
    7) All photos, task completed
    8) All photos, task completed
    9) 6 photos
    10) All photos, task completed

  • I am unable to import pictures from my iphone to my computer.  Can anyone help?

    I am unable to import pics. 

    It sounds like you are using an application to import. You can do it manually.
    Start > Computer (on the right) > scroll to the bottom and you will see your iPhone under Portable Devices > Open it and you will see a Drive, open that and there will be a DCIM folder. That is where your photos will be (There may be other folders each holding photos).
