Missing slideshow themes in Aperture 3. Help.

I have Aperture 3 on both my MacBook Pro and my MacPro.  I began experimenting with slideshows today and discovered that the version of Aperture on my MacBook Pro has more slideshow themes than the version on my MacPro.  Does anyone know how that could happen?  Both are clean installs and are the same exact version and I keep both machines up to date with Apple Software Update.
At this point I am wondering if there is a way for me to find the themes in Finder and just copy them and put them on my MacPro?  OR is there something that I am missing??
The themes on my MacPro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
The themes on my MacBook Pro are as follows:
Classic
Ken Burns
Photo Edges
Scrapbook
Shatter
Sliding Panels
Snapshots
Watercolor Panels
Holiday Mobile
Origami
Photo Mobile
Places
Reflections
Scrapbook
Vintage Prints
If anyone can shed some light on this for me I'd be grateful.  Thanks in advance!
Cheers!

Ahh!  I was thinking that that may be the case.  Thanks!!
I never upgraded iLife on my MacPro because I hated the way the new version dealt with photos in email.  Also hated that when I hover an event and found the image I was looking for and double-clicked on it, I would have to re-hunt the image down all over again when it opened the event.  The old version of iLife/iPhoto (which I'm still using on my MacPro) highlights the image once the event is opened, making it so easy to find.
Anyway, don't mean to go on about my woes with that.  I guess what I would LOVE to do now is be able eo move over the themes from my MBP to My MP.  Do you (or anyone) know if the themes are modular and can be copied and used on another machine that does not have iLife 11?
Thanks! Great sleuthing!
Cheers!

  • Lost All Aperture Slideshow Themes

    I lost all my Aperture slideshow themes after upgrading to iLife '11. At first everything worked fine and I was able to access the existing and new slideshow themes in Aperture from the new iPhoto '11 upgrade (as advertised). Then it all broke. Now I have no slideshow themes (or functionality) in either Aperture or in iPhoto for that matter. I'm not sure the exact moment that this all happened but just noticed it when trying to edit a few existing slideshows. The structure and music is all there but the slideshows are blank because there are no themes at all, just blank. I repaired permissions and checked file structures, did routine maintenance. Nothing works. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

    Success!
    I'm documenting this in case anyone else encounters the same problem. There are three files that can be found in HD>Library>Application Support. These files are: iLife, iLifeMediaBrowser, and iLifeSlideshow. They somehow got corrupted in the upgrade process to Aperture 3.1 and/or iLife '11. The thing is that trashing the corrupted files in hopes that a clean reinstall will rebuild them does NOT WORK. It simply makes shared media unavailable to any of the apps. I had to restore the files from Time Machine from a previous state.
    This took an entire day of troubleshooting to figure out. I hope this helps avoid this for anyone else.

  • Is there a way to remove the autoformatting of the "Places" slideshow theme?

    The Places slideshow theme in Aperture is a great one for what I want to do; however, it automatically formats the slides where it will place two or three images per slide.  I'd like to have only one image per slide.  Is there a way to remove or adjust the autoformatting of this theme to have only one image per slide?  If not, do you know of a way to add a map to any of the other slideshow themes?  Thanks for the help!

    What is your phone model?

    Maybe there is a corrupt file that is shared by the two apps to manage slideshows? I've looked and looked, so far nothing works.

  • Themes for aperture

    Hi, I have recently purchased Aperture and Themes for aperture. However, I do not see the additional 105 themes inside the Aperture software, can anyone here advise?
    Secondly, how do we tell whether the Aperture software which purchased from AppStore is the latest Aperture 3?
    Regards
    Roy

    Well put.  (I'm about to finish upgrading my on-line portfolio to a more expensive gallery hosting site in order to remove more distractions.  My goal is to show the pictures, not the packaging, be it a site or a slideshow.)

    I don't know of any third-party slideshow themes, sorry.  I usually use the basic themes anyway - I do not want the slideshow effects to distract from my photos
    Kirby, do you know of additional themes?
    I don't.  Does Aperture now have all the ones that were available in iPhoto?  Iirc, iPhoto used to have a couple that Aperture did not.  I'm sure that there are many slideshow programs available outside of Aperture -- cgwebster may have to use one of them if a plug-in isn't available for the look s/he wants.

    Ah, gotchya. Your Fuji camera must not then be on this list here?  http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html  You could presumably use the sw that came with the camera and create jpegs or tiffs with them and keep them in aperture along side the unsupported raws, in stacks.

    You can seelct to leace the files where they are, copy into Aperture or else put them someplace else on the HD.
    What is your setting?

  • I take pictures in RAW but when I move them from aperture 3 to a pendrive they come in jpg. Can someone help me to solve the problem?

    I take pictures in RAW , why is that when I want to move them from aperture to a pen drive they come out in jpg?

    As Allen wrote exported images will be JPG or TIFF unless you specifically export the master. If you export the master the original RAW file will be written out of Aperture.
    Be aware that any adjustments you did to the image or ant metadata you added will not be included.
    BTW how are you 'moving' them out of Aperture?

  • How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs?

    (Fifth futile attempt in two hours, before I learned there was a Post webpage – I’m new to ApSuppCom - and after I learned that I am not allowed to update previous content, so I had to back out, make a few changes, and start over.)  How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?  (Some other specs: Mac OS Lion 10.7.5; Capacity 499.5 GB;  Processor 2.8 GHz Intel Core  2 Duo; Memory 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3; Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256MB)
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.” Advisors and Mac Geniuses at local Apple Stores have told me to try Roxio Toast.  When I visited the Roxio website, and found numerous other company products, the descriptions all seemed to suggest that most of the apps shown can easily export videos to DVDs, but nothing was said about finished digital slide shows being exported.  At future events soon,  I hope to be handing out these finished DVDs (free) to the people in them.   Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    How can I export slideshows created in Aperture v3.3.2 (complete with superimposed captions and music tracks) from Mid-2009 MacBook Pro-17 to blank DVDs ?
    Aperture cannot burn slideshows to a DVD.  It only can export a video of your slideshow.
    In Aperture 3 you use the "Export" button in Aperture's slideshow project to render a video to a folder on your disk.
    Then you use iDVD or another program to burn a video DVD.
    I cannot do a copy (export) without various error messages appearing and the inevitable stoppage occurring.  Always with the DVD Video Player final message reading, “Supported disc not available.”
    Could you please describe the exact steps that are causing these error messages?
    How are you exporting your slideshow from Aperture? Which settings are you using? And how are you importing the video to iDVD or Toast to burn a video DVD?

  • Missing master files in Aperture 2

    I (like a lot of others on here!) am having trouble with my photos in Aperture 2 displaying the yellow exclamation mark and grey arrow badge.
    When I go to File > Relocate Master..., I get a message saying they cannot be found.
    I searched on one photo's filename through spotlight and found the images in "User"/Pictures/Merged Libray (which is the name of my iPhoto library)/Masters/ then a string of numbered subfolders, 2011/04/12/ etc.
    BUT when I go back to Aperture and go to File > Manage Referenced Files in order to reconnect them (is this right??), the folder "Masters" of my iPhoto library does not appear in the bottom navigation pane of the Aperture dialog box. I can navigate to the Masters folder through Finder by asking to "Show package contents" for iPhoto, but this is not an option in the Aperture window.
    Does anyone know how I could fix this? Could I perhaps copy the iPhoto "Masters" folder files, create a new folder on the desktop or some such, and ask Aperture to speak with them? That seems a bit convoluted.! :S Hope someone can help!
    I am on a 15" MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.7, Aperture 2.
    Cheers

    A mistake I used to make that resulted in this is when I import photos, not double checking the option to save them into the Aperture library, or leave them where they already are on the hard drive.  Then, I'd delete the originals, and bang, exclamation points.
    If Aperture says there's no physical Master file anymore, then there's not.  Back track and figure out when/where you moved the originals or if you deleted them.  It's always safer to doube check an import is placing the Masters into Aperture's own library.
    If they're in iPhoto now, delete them from Aperture, re-import them from iPhoto.

    Try these in order - from best option on down...
    1. Do you have an up-to-date back up? If so, try copy the library6.iphoto file from the back up to the iPhoto Library allowing it to overwrite the damaged file.
    2. Download <a href="http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/"><b><u>iPhoto Library Manager</b></u></a> 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.
    3. If neither of these work then you'll need to create and populate a new library.
    To create and populate a new *iPhoto 6* library:
    Note this will give you a working library with the same Rolls and pictures as before, however, you will lose your albums, keywords, modified versions, books, calendars etc.
    Move the iPhoto Library to the desktop
    Launch iPhoto. It will ask if you wish to create a new Library. Say Yes.
    Go into the iPhoto Library on your desktop and find the Originals folder. From the Originals folder drag the individual Roll Folders to the iPhoto Window and it will recreate them in the new library.
    When you're sure all is well you can delete the iPhoto Library on your desktop.
    In the future, in addition to your usual back up routine, you might like to make a copy of the library6.iPhoto file whenever you have made changes to the library as protection against database corruption.

  • HT5557 I have bookmarks and notes that are no longer attached to the original page and I can't find a way to delete them.  Could someone help me purge these things so they are not in the way?

    James Ward4  Thanks for your suggestion.  I have tried the video app and it appears to have some, but not all of the downloads which are viewable without wifi, so I will now review the download process and see if I can capture the missing episodes.  Thanks again.

  • Where can I Find More SlideShow Themes?

    I have been searching the store and Google looking for more Aperture slideshow themes, can anyone point me in a direction where I can find more?

    I now have the same questions for iMovie and iDVD. I am having fun and creating some very cool videos for my clients, but need a larger selection of themes for all the applications.
    How about making some available in the new store? Giving a starter set and then offering more in the store would be a good $$ model.

  • Missing book themes

    I know for sure that I am missing certain themes for the book. Not so sure about the calendar and the greeting card/postcard themes. I use to have access to themes like storybook and baby but not anymore. How do I get it back? How do I get iPhoto '08 to read the old themes?
    Thanks in advance.

    Jamus:
    If you've started a book with an old theme, iPhoto 7 will continue with its creation but that theme will not be available for new books. If you like that theme, make a duplicate of the book and save it to use with other photos at some later date.
    Don't change the theme to see what the book would look like in one of the other themes as you won't be able to return to it.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • Missing master files in Aperture

    I am missing master files from Aperture 3. I rebuilt the library with no success.
    Oddly, I can't even find them in Time Machine even though I know I exported versions of them. The entire month of imports doesn't ever appear in Time Machine even though I have proof that I used the master files to export in July. I haven't used Time Machine a lot so maybe I'm missing something.
    What else can I try.

    Have you checked, if the missing masters are inside the Aperture Library package?
    Sometimes Aperture looses the connection to managed masters.
    You need to find out the exact date that you imported your images - you can find that information in the "Import Session" metadata tag - ad this tag to one of the metadata preset that you use to display the metadata in the info panel - set themetadata preset in the  info panel to "edit".
    Then open the Aperture Library package (ctrl-click the Aperture Library in the Finder window) and select "Show package Contents". Inside the window that opens go to the "Masters" folder, then inside to the year , month, day you imported the images. Are the original master image files still there?
    If yes, then make a backup copy of these images, to have a copy just in case, and try to repair the permissions in your library with the library first aid tools:
    Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    If you cannot reconnect the missing originals/masters this way, reimport the masters you found inside the library.
    Please post back, once you looked inside the library, if the masters/originals are still there.
