Metadata not showing in Aperture, but exists in original file
Lots of photos in my Aperture library seem to not be showing their metadata. I say "not showing" because the metadata is indeed present in the actual files when I open them in Preview. Preview lists full EXIF, GPS, camera make and model - everything. And they appear to be linked in the library correctly, because I open them by right-clicking to Show in Finder.
These are all Referenced Masters (as is everything in my library). They tend to be photos taken on an iPhone 5, and are in my Photo Stream. That's about the only pattern I can discern. This only is happening with about 1000 of my 30,000 photos.
I have tried:
-Reopening Aperture
-Reconnecting masters (although they always show as Online)
-Repairing library permissions
Any other ideas? Thanks in advance!
Oh looky here... this Metadata -> Update from Originals menu is exactly what I need! Seems to be working like a charm.
Figures, as soon as I finally post the question, I figure it out!

Does any one have a suggestion as to how to get A3 to show the camera aperture setting on Leica M9 DNG files?
You will want to read this thread in its entirety.
The short story (as I understand it) is that the M9 body receives no information about aperture from attached lenses. It is able to derive an estimate of the aperture, though, and it lists this derived number in the metadata field "Approximate F-stop" (not the exact field name). Aperture (the program) does not report the contents of this proprietary field. -
I transferred itunes library from old PC to new PC. The content all shows when I launch iTunes on the new PC now. The previous content does not show in iTunes but folder still looks like it is on hard drive on new PC. Suggestions on how to properly merge?
Before you connect any device to a new library go to the Devices tab of the the preferences panel via Edit > Preferences (Windows) or iTunes > Preferences (Mac) and ensure the box next to Prevent iPods, iPhones, and iPads from syncing automatically is ticked. You can now safely connect the device to your computer without the danger of media being automatically deleted or overwritten.
To get all your content off your connect your iPad to your new computer.
Then use a 3rd party piece of software to transfer your content
I have found Senuti useful but there are others listed in the article I linked to in a previous post.
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
That will let you transfer your non purchased content
For Purchased content log in to iTunes on the new computer
In Itunes Store click on Purchased under the Quick Links section on the right.

When I sync iphone to itunes, why do my soundtracks not show as albums but via artist? IE: Pulp Fiction has 16 songs by different artists. In itunes I can pull up pulp fiction and play the 16 songs. In iphone sync the 16 songs are seperate and listed by Al Green, cowboy junkies etc... How to fix this so the ipod part of my iphone will show & play the soundtracks as albums... thanks.
What is selected under the Music tab for your iPhone sync preferences with iTunes?
If you have chosen selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres - if Pulp Fiction is available under the Albums section to be selected as an Album to be transferred to your iPhone, is it selected?
If so, when you select Albums via the iPod on your iPhone, the album is not available there to select?
You can always create an iTunes playlist with these songs placing the songs in your preferred order. -

Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?
Why is my External Hard Drive not showing in Aperture 3.6 Import?
Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive. I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.Only my computer hard drive is and I want to import from an external drive. I have always been able to until I updated to Aperture 3.6 and Yosemite.
I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.
You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive. -

I am trying to update a chart in Pages that I created in Numbers, but the refresh button does not show up after I save the Numbers file. Thoughts?
It is hard to exactly understand what you have done or not by you one sentence description. My thought is have you read in the Pages User Guide? Here is what it says about updating a chart in Pages:
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document
If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
I hope it has helped you. -
I wanted to know why they call me when I do not show the number but I get the words private number, and even when I call out to another private number.I tried it in the settings to activate id shows but nothing has changed. I hope you can help me.

Metadata not showing up in folders but on desktop only
When exporting photos from lightroom on to my desktop, I am able to view all the Metadata information when "getting information". However, that information does not show up when the photos are exported into individual folders within the computer. I am exporting the files the exact same way, so I am not sure why the information is not appearing the same.
I am on a Mac and working with Lightroom 5.

Have you tried using an actual program to look inside your exports to see what metadata is there, instead of relying on the operating system to tell you? One such program is ExifTool, but there are many others. -
Few 5DmkII RAW files do not open with Aperture, but OK with other software
Hi, I have two RAW files which I cannot import with Apple Aperture. The files open fine with Canon Digital Photo Professional, Raw Photo Processor and dcraw (and with various programs on my Windows 7 laptop) and I'm able to create TIFF files from the RAW files with every other software.
Detail about the files:
A. they are two first frames of burst (used auto bracketing, which takes 3 images in burst mode, to create HDR image)
B. there is nothing strange in the files, they are normal RAW files and file size is normal as well (other 28.4MB and 32.7MB)
C. both files process OK in above mentioned softwares and there are no blocks missing from created TIFF images, also preview JPG in the RAW file is OK
D. Mac OS X Quick view (press spacebar in Finder) and Preview do show these two RAW images well (I assume they use the embedded JPG image)
I have installed all the updates available in "Apple icon" -> "Software update..." function. Therefore I have Apple Aperture version 3.0.2. Computer is MacPro:
Model Name: Mac Pro
Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
Number Of Processors: 2
Total Number Of Cores: 8
L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
Memory: 12 GB
Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
How I can submit the files for Apple to create fix? I searched for Apple Aperture support but there is only this forum, no email address or anything. Do they read this forum?Some clarifications and answers to your questions:
First to Tony Gay:
I try the feedback later today even they claim "Please know that while we do read these submissions, we cannot guarantee a personalized response.", which is original reason why I'm why I wrote this question here. The url you provided did not work but this should:
http://www.apple.com/support/feedback
This is not relevant to sRAW files, I did not change the between camera taking automated bracketed shots the image format for 2 shots to sRAW and took 3rd with RAW, that is not even possible.
I have copied the images from card to hard drive, not trying to read from the card itself. However now you mention tried also from card = exactly same result. Tried desktop (different HD) and external USB and external eSata, all same result.
Get info doesn't show anything wierd for the images. All other 192 RAWs from same shoot were imported with exact same methodology (as well as 60000 images before that).
Then to gosuk2:
There is no HDR setting in camera, I took the images FOR HDR, but did not use any specific setting, just used 1 1/3 stop bracketing and 2 second times when camera automatically takes 1 1/3 underexposed, correct exposure and 1 1/3 overexposed image (the order of images can naturally be changed via custom function in camera). All this is unrelevant since I shoot quite often HDR with this method (=more than 500 images each month) this way and they have always been fine before these two images.
I see the files in import panel and I the don't use import dublicates setting so that doesn't affect the situation (why it would, Aperture things files are broken).
Again HDR cannot be combined in 5DmkII, it's just automatically shoot 3 bracketed shots.
No I don't get same result no matter what I do, it's just these two files. My other ~5000 HDR bracketed RAWs are importing fine as well as all burst/shots taken in continous shooting mode.
I'm very aware how stacking of images works, but I do not understand relevance to this issue. I can not import the images at all to Apple Aperture, after importing all images Aperture displays dialog saying that following files could not be imported to Aperture, then displays list with both of these files in the list and gives possibility to locate the files in Finder.
I have used Aperture since version 1 and I have 70000 images imported successfully to Aperture. Earlier I have seen this dialog "Aperture could not import image" only after hard drive/card failure. However then images cannot be used in Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any other RAW software - now the problem ONLY EXISTS in Aperture all other RAW converters are able to open and process SUCCESSFULLY these images.
So I'm not whining that Aperture is not good, but if it starts to work only part of the images in future and I have to process rest of the images with Canon DPP (that program is really lousy on usability standpoint) then I'm not so happy with Aperture anymore.
Will report here if I get any comments back from Apple through the Feebback tool.

White Balance Metadata not showing in Adobe Bridge CS6
Hi there, I am running Bridge CS6 on a Mac, and use Canon 5D and 5DMark 111 cameras. I have an issue with Bridge which I can not seem to figure out. Whether I shoot Raw or JPG and I am trying to do some testing for white balance, once I open the images in Bridge, in the little icon panel just below the folders/favourites panel etc I can see the f stop info, speed, metering , ISO etc, but the only icons I get for WB are if use auto - then I see AUTO. But when I do a manual WB like 'cloudy', 'tungsten', or 'shade' etc all I get are the symbols for 'Custom" or "Manual". How do I get the actual symbols for what type of WB i've chosen to show up?
I have purged the Cache - both in the individual folder and the overall Cache in preferences. I have checked that all the boxes are ticked in the preferences panel for the Metadata. So not sure what else to do.
Cheers DOk thanks for that, at least I wont be chasing my tail.
I did install the DNG converter 8.3 but I still NEF files as a NEF icon. Any clues to what I may not be doing right there? -
Metadata not showing up in Photoshop
I have Photoshop Tiff file that is managed in the Aperture library. When viewing the image in Aperture all the proper metadata appears in the Metadata pane. But when I open the photo in Photoshop and look at 'file info' only my name appears. Am I missing some kind of export option?
Thanks for any advice,
GaryIf you import the file by reference, you need to export the file (as TIFF) from Aperture. Simply opening the referenced file in Photoshop won't see any of the metadata tags that Aperture adds -- as Aperture is treating the referenced file as a master.
Aperture does not touch masters, ever. So export a version as a TIFF file if you want to see the Aperture modifications -- including metadata and adjustments (cropping, sharpening, etc.).
I think it's better to use "open in external editor" from within Aperture, actually, in this case. -
D600 raw file could not open in Aperture, but ok in Preview
I import D600 photo to my Aperture library all photo are in RAW format, but some file (almost 1-2 out of 100) could not view in Aperture, which show "Unsupported Image Format", but which could open in Preview, I try to import those file again and I got the same result, could someone help me.
I am using 3.4.3
I think it not my card or file problem, cause if I import the photo to the library using iPhoto it will not have this problem
I have try to import the same photo to my library using Aperture and iPhoto, Aperture will always have one or two picture could not view, but when using iPhoto import the picture it is zero problem and also Apterture could view those pic which using iPhoto import.
Therefore I think the problem should be Aperture itself. -
Metadata not showing up (flash osx bug????)
I have a problem that shows up intermittantly, for multiple folks on my team. We've duplicated this only on OSX and in 10.1.85.3. Occasionally for some of our movies (H.264 in mp4) the metadata packet doesn't show up (NetClient.onMetaData isn't fired). We've saved tcpdumps and seen that the data is there. We've seen this accross players (jwplayer, osmf, wowza simplevideoplayer). We think that this is some weird timing problem. Has anyone else seen this, any idea how to get past it?
