Move from storing masters in iphoto to storing in aperture

Way back, when I first got Aperture, I chose to 'store files in their current location' which was iphoto library - I am aware that this is referenced masters. I did this because Aperture 2 does not store video and I import video from my DSLR. So, my work flow was to import to iphoto (so I have a good system for storing video clips) and then import the photos into aperture.
Now that Aperture 3 will import video clips, I want to change to managed library, storing all photos (and in the future, photos & video clips)in aperture library. How can I do this easily before installing Aperture 3?

Thank you for responding to my question, above, this morning. And thank you for the link about PhotoStream. It was helpful in understanding how Photostream works, but, unfortunately, doesn't really reference my problem since it assumes that the photos were originated on one of my  Apple devices. The photos I want to copy to my iPhone are in an album on iPhoto but I had originally downloaded them from my camera to my iMac then moved them to the album. The confusing thing for me is that they are 3 of a dozen photos takern over a period of 12 years on different digital cameras (two were taken on film and later scanned and eventually moved to the album in iPhoto) and all but three of the photos moved to photostream and are on my iPhone. It is those three, which were all taken on digital cameras and moved to the album, which I can't get to move to Photostream.

  • Develop Presets:  Move from "Stored With Catalog" to ?

    Early on with LR1, I checked...or didn't uncheck--the box that has LR store the Develop Presets with the Catalog.
    I have since read that storing them there may not be a good choice.
    Would there be any point to moving them?  Is there any practical way to move them to the "normal" storage location?
    I have noticed that when I uncheck the "Store With Catalog" box in LR preferences, my beloved User Presets disappear from their normal place on the left side panel of the Develop Module.

    This is my take on the question:

  • Uploading Movies from Canon Powershot to iPhoto

    I just recently purchased a Canon Powershot A590 IS. I recorded some movies and tried to upload them to my Macbook but no matter what application I use to open it, it stops and the "Application Quit Unexpectedly" thingy pops up. It doesn't matter if I use the Canon program or iPhoto or Quicktime. Also, the videos are in AVI format if that helps. How can I get my movies to upload?? Thanks!

  • How do i import movies from my iPad (movie cam) into final cut

    I have imoported movies from the ipad into Iphoto. I couldn't get any videos to show up in the import browser from Ipad into Aperture. trying to import files directly from iphoto to final cut brings up an error message. exporting the videos from iphoto into another folder got them into final cut but the video doesnt play, the timeline just moves along a still image of the first frame of the video.

    It's a bit confusing whether you are using iphoto or aperture as you mention both.
    Are the movies still on your iPad? The best way to import would be to do it directly using FCPX. Attach the iPad, fire up FCPX, and import from camera (command-I). You should then see your clips that exist on the iPad and should be able to import them to an Event.

  • Importing avi movies from my Canon camera makes iPhone crash

    Every time when i make some movies with my Canon camera (Powershot S2 IS) and I want to import them, together will all my pics on my camera, into iPhoto it makes iPhot crash from the point where it is importing the first AVI movie it comes across.
    Now I've successfully imported the movies onto my harddrive now using the Image Capture program, but still when I want to import the movies from my harddrive into iPhoto, or even when i want to play them in Quicktime, it makes iPhoto crash, and also Quicktime crashes when i'm trying to view the movie in there.
    can somebody point me to an alternative solution or tell me what's wrong and what i need to fix in order to fix it?

    Thanks. I'd love to install that one, but i've heard some stories that this piece of software does quite some harm to some things. I dont remember where i read that or what harm it would do. but i'm sure i've heard it someone say.
    can you confirm this? or do you still very much recommend me to install this?

  • I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

    I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like  the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • How do I get my purchased movies from iTunes to show in my Library without storing all the GBs on my hard drive?  [I want to show the Cloud Purchases.]

    Hey Hey!

    I am pretty sure that this has been addressed somewhere, but I could not find it - so thanks up front!!!

    Deborah,
    You cannot import contacts from your Nano to your PC via iTunes.  The syncing process is only one way.  However, if you enable disk mode on your iPod, open it up in a Windows Explorer window, you should see a Contacts folder.  From there you can copy them back over to your PC. 
    Even though this article is talking about adding contacts to the PC, it should walk you through some of the steps mentioned above.

  • Importing movies actually stored in iPhoto library

    I've successfully imported movies directly from my camera (with extension .mov).
    But I've also movies (made with the same camera) in iPhoto Library (that I've imported from a backup DVD containing .jpeg and .mov). This movies are correctly played by Quicktime once I click it over.
    Now I wish to export this movies from iPhoto Library to iMovie Library, to manage with iMovie.
    I'm not able! I can't select this file.. I've tried to export to desktop and then to import in iMovie dragging it or selecting it from import menu but.. "this file can't be managed by iMovie" .
    Can someone help me?
    (thanks in advance and sorry for my english...)

    It depends whether you want the edited in iPhoto copies or the originals.
    If you want the originals, just control/right click the iPhoto Library and choose Show Package Contents, than drag the masters folder onto Lightroom.
    However if you want the iPhoto edits, you will need to export cops from iPhoto and then import those to Lightroom.

  • Stopping iCloud from storing my movies?

    How do I stop iCloud from automatically storing my purchased movies? I already have them on disk but for some reason I can't get them re-added to the movies folder. iTunes insists on downloading from the backup. It takes forever and I don't even know if it'll work and allow me to get them back onto my iPhone.
    Help!
    Thanks.

    Movies you purchase from itunes are not uploaded to iCloud. They exist in the cloud (not iCloud), and can be downloaded from it (i.e. apple's media servers).
    When you delete a movie from a device, it simply is removed from the device, and again becomes available for download from the cloud. But there is no upload involved.
    The only way the movie would have a cloud icon next to it was if it either never correctly downloaded, or it downloaded but was then deleted from the device.
    In either case, its not something you can prevent with a setting.

  • If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new movies, will they be permanently lost or stored somewhere?

    Problem:  I don't have enough storage to download new movies.  If I delete purchased movies from my ipad to make room for new content, will they be lost or stored somewhere? 

    It depends upon what country that you are in (it's not possible to re-download films in all countries), the film studio (some don't allow re-downloading), and whether they remain in the store (studios occasionally remove them from the store) - what you can currently re-download will show in the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app on your iPad.
    But you are better off first copying them to your computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases so that you can take you own backup copy of them before deleting them, rather than relying on being able to redownload them in the future (and the same applies to other downloaded content)

  • Can you separate movies from iPhotos?

    If I delete the new Movie Smart Album, do I delete all the movies in my library?
    If you delete a smart album by ctrl-click and selecting "Delete album", the album will be deleted, but the videos will remain in your library. You should see this panel:
    Deleting the album will not remove the videos from the events and any other albums where they are used.
    The Movies seem to be in the new smart Album I've just created but not in the library...
    Really? What do you see, when you select one of them in the smart album, ctrl-click it, and use the command "Show in Event"?
    Do you want to delete the videos permanently? Then select the videos in the album and use ⇧⌘⌫ to delete them.

  • I downloaded movies from my ipad to my mac and they went directly into iphoto.  In imovie, I want to put these clips together and when I go to events or albums where these are located, they aren't there.  Help!

  • Move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom using PS Elements to keep Events and Albums

    I am trying to move from iPhoto '11 to Lightroom by using PS Elements as a go-between to keep events and album but it doesn't appear that the option to keep events and albums is possible using iPhoto '11.  However, the instructions for coming from iPhoto '09 show that option.  Is there any way to do this?

    I’m not sure about that routine. I’m not even sure events are transferrable and there of lots of things that could go wrong. You may want to think about importing your masters directly into Ligtroom. From finder you need to be in Pictures (not the application) and control-click on iPhoto Library.
    iPhoto will have created duplicates and hidden your originals. You need to find your masters from the iPhoto Library - Right-Click and select “Show Package Contents”
    Older versions of iPhoto uses an Originals folder and in later versions; Masters. It’s not a good idea to go messing with the structure as it could corrupt the iPhoto Library. Apple has made this structure for good reason; so that you can always use the revert command to go back to an original, even if you have edited in iPhoto using cropping or red eye removal, for example.
    However, if you have no further use for iPhoto, you could consider moving your originals/masters to a new folder structure (iPhoto automatically creates dated sub-folders) and then importing to Lightroom. Alternatively if you still need iPhoto, export duplicates to the desktop and bring those into Lightroom. That will keep iPhoto safe.
    I do actually use iPhoto for creating events which can then be used to make cool slideshows within iPhoto. However Lightroom is my main management and photo editing tool and I have created an export pre-set for sending jpegs into iPhoto. I have even dragged the iPhoto Library off the hard drive to an external hard drive – but that means keeping it connected when using iPhoto.

  • How can I stop Firefox 's private browsing mode from restricting Netlflix from storing settings on my computer?

    I have a Netflix subscription, which is supposed to let me watch movies online, on its website. However, when I selected one of their "Instant Viewing" movies, a page popped up, saying: "Silverlight Application Storage Error -- Firefox's private browsing mode is restricting Netflix from storing settings on your computer. To resolve this problem, perform the following steps: Click the Tools menu at the top of the browser and select Stop Private Browsing " if enabled.
    There is no such "Tools" tab/menu at the top of my Firefox browser; there's only a drop-down box with various headings, but "Tools" is not among them.
    How do I fix this thing with Netflix?

    This will be an old message written before the Firefox button came into common use.
    * use '''Firefox button -> Stop Private Browsing'''
    * see [[Private Browsing - Browse the web without saving information about the sites you visit]]
    * you may also need to review your History settings<br/>[[Settings for privacy, browsing history and do-not-track]]
    Note there is a further change in Firefox 20, that will provide Private Browsing on a per Window basis, allowing you to use some tabs for Private Browsing, whilst most behave normally and save information. The help (kb) articles should be automatically updated to cover this.
