Multiple macs, and exporting selections as a project

Hi....
I have an i5 imac 27 inch with 4tb of external storage, that I use to manage a 200gb aperture library with around 20,000 raw images.
I also have just bought a Macbook pro, and I have aperture on that too.
I want to be able to clean up much of my library, while i am away from home.  Essentially cropping out stuff that is no good, out of focus etc.
200 gb is too much really to put into the macbook pro (Ok it will fit, but I dont want to use up that amoutn of space).
So I did the following: 
     I created a smart album that has all pics in it
     I exported images as a new project from this smart album, but it seems to hang at 20%
     I then cancelled this activity, and closed aperture. at which point is updates the library.
When I export, I only want the thumbnails, so i did not include masters, nor previews, to keep the file size down to something managable.
The issue I have is the apparent hangin at 20%, but more importantly, when I do this, when it updates the library, it says (updating library, 1 of 40,000(ish) and goes through it all fine (note that i only have 20,000 images in the library)
I have treied this multiple times now, the issue is that each time i do this, it then says updating 1 of 80,000, then 1 of 160,000 etc etc.
Am I doing something wrong?
For info, when i do look at the library, this does not appear to create duplicates, its just taking longer and longer to try various things.
I have rebuilt the database, with no change to this.
Any ideas welcome

What exactly are you doing? The commands you mention do not exist
So I did the following:
     I created a smart album that has all pics in it
     I exported images as a new project from this smart album, but it seems to hang at 20%
You can either export a "Smart album as new Library" or a "Project as new Library", but not a smart album as a project.
So I assume, you tried to export your smart album as a new library, is that right?
When I export, I only want the thumbnails, so i did not include masters, nor previews, to keep the file size down to something managable.
I tried this on my MBP 2.53 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, OS 10.7.2, Aperture 3.2.1, and I could export such a library without problem.
What is your OS version, your Aperture version, and your processor? Maybe it behaves differnt on your platform?
But frankly, I do not see much use in exporting a library to another platform without any decents image files in it, if you want to be able to browse your images while not connected to your masters, you should at least include previews, that you can display full screen.
Perhaps you will succeed if you include at least the previews?

  • I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's

    I work with Premiere Pro on a mac and export quicktime movies to be played on pc's or mac's. When I export a qt from Premiere with audio it will not play on a pc only a mac. After extensive research I have narrowed down the problem to this: if you use the inspector in quicktime it looks like this
    DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Little Endian), Stereo (L R), 48.000 kHz
    I have to run it thru AE to make it look like this....then it plays
    DV, 720 x 480 (640 x 480), Millions
    16-bit Integer (Big Endian), Stereo, 48.000 kHz
    SOOOO the problem is the Little/Big Endian. I googled that and it looks like a file/bit structure....anyone know how/why to change it in Premiere? Because everytime I make a movie in Prem I have to drag the sequence into AE and render it there so the sounds works.....
    thanks

    Two questions:
    1. What CODEC are you choosing when exporting on the Mac?
    2. Do you have any Blackmagic hardware/software installed?

  • Sync Mac iPhoto library with multiple Macs and devices using iCloud

    Our house is a "Mac" house. My wife and I have two iMacs, two iPhones, and an iPad. I have 30,000 photos in my library dating back to 2002 with a size of 100 Gb. I am paying the $3.99/month for 200 Gb of storage, but currently only using about 7 Gbs. I am running the latest of everything. iOS 8 on devices, and Yosemite on both iMacs.
    I am having troubles maintaining two separate libraries. I will upload to my iMac, my wife will upload to her iMac, but I want our entire library to be synced on both computers. Furthermore, I want pictures to show up on all devices. How do I get my entire 30000 photo library on my iMac uploaded to iCloud? I want the entire library to be synced to all our devices? I want all of our photos that we have taken to be in one happy consolidated iPhoto Library, accessible on every computer and device.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    This is not yet possible between Macs and iOS devices, but the new Photos.app for Mac, to be released early next year, will support it.
    Right now, only the iOS 8 devices can use iCloud Photo Library (Beta). That will store the Photo Library in iCloud and sync to all iOS devices.  See:    iCloud Photo Library beta FAQ - Apple Support
    Macs can upload to iCloud Photo Library currently only from the web interface:  https://www.icloud.com/#photos.
    It is not clear, if the Photos.app for Mac will support family sharing. We do not know much about the new app to come.
    The iOS version only supports one AppleID so far.
    And it cannot yet be recommended to upgrade the iOS devices to Cloud Photo Library Beta, because you will no longer be able to use iTunes Photo Sync or My Photo Stream to upload photos to your iOS devices.
    I want all of our photos that we have taken to be in one happy consolidated iPhoto Library, accessible on every computer and device.
    Added:  iPhoto is a single user database, that needs the iPhoto Library to be stored on a locally connected drive, and it is not possible to store the library on a network volume or cloud storage.  The new Photos.app will support the cloud storage.
    Apple's recommendation for sharing a library between iPhoto users is the sneaker drive:

  • Best solution to run Sage on multiple Macs and a PC?

    Hi all.
    We are a small advertising agency of around 10 people, all using Macs, except for our accountant who uses her own PC laptop to run accounting software Sage Line 50.
    We now want 3 other staff members to access the same Sage database and edit it just like our accountant can, all of whom will be using Macs. I am now trying to figure out the best solution for us. We wouldn't want to boot any Mac into Windows, so perhaps using Parallels on 3 Macs, with Sage installed on those 3 Macs would be the most obvious solution, but is it the best?
    I understand Sage have an online version of Line 50 which runs through the browser but after talking to them, they cannot comment on the Mac compatibility of this. If our accountant could host the database on her PC, while the other 3 staff members access this online through the Macs this would be perfect, and cheaper. But does anyone know if the Sage online software will work through a browser such as Safari or Firefox on the Mac? If not, perhaps we need to install Parallels on each Mac, just to run the online browser software as this may still work out cheaper than installing the actual Sage Line 50 software on each Mac.
    I hope this all makes sense, I'm really confused myself. I have spoken to Sage who can't help much when it comes to talking about Macs, and this is the only other place where I feel I could get an answer. Any input is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance!
    Cheers.

    Depends.
    What do you need to do that requires Windows?
    Without knowing that, some guesses are CrossOver, Parallele, VMWare Fusion or Boot Camp. These are listed by easy of implementation and increase service provided by each item in the list.

  • Managing multiple macs and ipads for beginners

    Hi.
    I'v just been given responsibility for maintaining about 40 macs and 160 ipads in a school. I want to deal with things from my MBP where possible. I have been thinking about using the server app (i'm running Yosemite). My main issues are people not updating their macs OS, security updates and apps . I want to push out the latest print drivers other updates and maybe even apps.
    For the ipads I will need to update them as the students are too young to do it themselves. I will have to push out different apps to different classes.
    I have no programming skills and I am not exactly an expert at networks.
    Your advise is greatly welcomed.
    thx

  • Relink multiple images and export in jpg

    Hi, this is my first post, been searching for nearly 2 hours for my solution, didn't end up with any answers
    I have a template with the size of 500x500, there's my company logo at the right bottom and there's a brand's logo at the top left, i created a layer to put the products in the middle of the templates.
    So now I have nearly 400 products to be relink and export into jpg, anyone can help me with this? I found out I have to use javascript for this and i have no clue of how to do this.
    I would like to have 2 folders, first folder is my product, second folder would be the export photos be at(with the same title would it be possible?).
    so the script should be able to read from the first folder and relink the product automatically in the layer and export into jpg automatically and being save into the second folder. (all the product images have the same size so no worries about it.)
    Million thanks!

    Thank you sir! I've manage to do it nicely with the guide!!! Somehow someone inbox me to a fee of 40$ to do it
    lucky you show up!
    PS: How ever i've face a problem editing all the photo's images into 500x500, some of them aren't exactly the size, some are bigger some are smaller, any ways to make all the images to fit nicely into center of the canvas and resizing them(so there would actually some extra free space around the product,not resizing it into 500x500px, it would be out of shape)?

  • Write Notes on Mac and export to iTouch

    Hello, anyone would know how to write a note on iMac and then expirt it to Notes on an iTouch/iPhone? Tks P.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    First check that all your settings are correct, that notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    Make sure the notes you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone'  or other non iCloud account (you can do this by checking in accounts on an iOS device, or the left side panel in mail on a computer), non iCloud notes will not sync.
    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your notes are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking notes syncing (mail and notes on a computer) in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling notes syncing.

  • Music on multiple macs and multiple externqal drives

    Can anyone help me with this question?
    I have music on 3 macs and on a couple of external drives and have noted several itunes libraries. What is the best wat to get it all on one peripheral drive without messing it up and losing music? .
    Michael

    How exactly did you set it?  You do not do it in preferences (a common mistake).  You do it by starting up iTunes while holding down the option/alt key whereupon iTunes will irreversibly convert what it sees as the library, namely the iTunes Library.itl file, to a version which will only work with the newest version of iTunes you run (your 12).  Clearly you can't use 12 on your old computer so there is no way to share the same library file. Each version of iTunes will have to run its own library file which will essentially maintain its own independent list of entries, though they can share media.  This means changes you make to one library will mostly not appear in the other but if you do something such as delete media in one library the other library will fuss it can no longer find the file, etc.
    If you are going to start doing advanced iTunes things you need to learn how iTunes works.

    One other tip. Just about every mention I see of people using iTunes with a NAS is something with a problem that results from using iTunes with a NAS.  iTunes is likely not written with NAS use in mind.  It may work, or it may not.  Keep regular backups.

  • How do I select one version from multiple stacks and export?

    I have a color copy and B&W copy of 800 images. I want to export the B&W versions only. How do I select just the B&W versions in the stack at one time without having to click on 800 images?

    If you check the filenames, you'll see that the versions have a version name tagged on the end, like "Version 2" when I did a quick monochrome mix of one of my own. Make a smart album with the search term set for text being "Version 2" and you should end up with all the b&w versions. That is, assuming you made them all in the same way and they're all Version 2 versions. Since the initial version would not have the term "Version" attached, you could make the search term "Version" and it would fill with all the 2nd and 3rd et al. versions.
    Just a thought. Give it a try.

  • One iTunes library on multiple Macs and remote accsess

    Dear all,
    I really need an advise. I am now having an idea to transfer all my iTunes to NAS server - I am thinking about synology 8TB ( is it a good choice?).
    Recetly I have red here that I can SOMEHOW tranfer iTunes folder to NAS server and then access it from my MAcbook Air iTunes, my iMac iTunes etc? Is that correct? How can I excatly do this?
    And now my MAIN question - if the first condition can be done - can I access my NAS iTunes folder at home from work and then using my whole iTunes library? (I think that if i can be able to connect remotly the NAS server to my Air i can be also be able to using the NAS iTunes folder - library - as I would do at home but I am not sure)
    Please - give me an advise, this is going to be very complex for me. :-)
    Thank you and have a great day
    Steve

    Don't just put the media on the external, put the whole iTunes folder, media and all, on the external.  That way any Mac getting access to the external will use the same library (but only one can do so at a time).  For each computer start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key to enable selection of the library location.

  • How do I copy multiple clips and sequences into a new project

    Hi Folks,
    I've spent a while on the net trying to find an answer to my problem - so far without success. I have successful finished a documentary project (on climbing Mt Kilimanjaro) and now I want to lift the most dramatic sequence (the summit) so I can advertize the thing on my website and elsewhere. I have two audio tracks and two video tracks with multiple still photos in one of the video tracks.
    There must be a way to do this but I can't find it.
    Any ideas - and if this is a simplistic question I apologize - I've been learning as I go on this project.
    Cheers,
    Paddy Ryan

    Okay everyone - thanks for your help - new problem.
    I successfully "built" my 4 minutes clip from the original project. But I couldn't find a way to delet the material past rthe point at which I wanted it to end. So I went in and manually deleted everything. Inow have a 4 minute clip but when I try and convert it to a Youtube friendly file format it tells me the clip is 26 minutes long. I checked it out and it just kepy playing black with no sound. I dug around alittle and founf a sort of mini-compressed timelione of all that material and deleted it. tried again. It now stops playing after 4 minutes but once again tells me the clip is 26 minutes long when I try and convert the file. Are there pixies living among the pixels?

  • Create previews of video clips with multiple thumbnail and export in html?

    Hi all!
    I am trying to make a list of the videos that i have shot with my digital camera....my 1Tb is almost full, so you can understand that is not that easy as looking into a folder with the big thumbnails
    this is the expectation: to find an app that can
    -create a preview of each video (qt, mov, m4v, wmv, avi, rm, etc)
    -create few frames that shows the content of the video
    -export the list of movies as web page, with the title of the video and the snapshot for each of them
    Do you know if there is any way to achieve this result, without making manually everything?
    I've found a software on pc, that i can use with parallels, but it takes just 1 shot of the video, and not multiple, with the result that is hard to get what is in the video, especially when the video is 10-15 min long, and the name doesn't help to recall what was happening in that video
    Is there a way to achieve these results with just the apps available on the OS or is there an external sofware to do that?
    thanks!

    This is how i resolved:
    I use a software called screen grabber, that reads video files and makes a sheet with previews
    then i use thumbsplus on parallels to load these sheets and create an html page with the sheets and thumbnails.
    Takes some time, is kinda cumbersome, but this gives me nice html pages with previews taht ar clickable (so you can see the full size sheet with the video preview).
    Maybe someone else will stumble on the same problem that i had and find something better than my solution

  • Multiple Rows and Columns selection on ALV

    Hi all,
    What is the best solution to allow the multiple selection or combination of selection (rows and columns) on an ALV ?
    I would like to be able to select some rows and some columns and to get the result cells in order to update them.
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    David

    Thanks Srinivas and Seela,
    I forgot to precise that my ALV is dynamic, I used the method 'add_new_child_node'.
    I tried the different possibilties with method attributes but I don't find the good attributes combination to allow columns selection.
    I add also that I have to be able to select several no adjacent columns.
    What do you think about this workaround :
    Is it possible to add a line on my ALV with checkbox between the header line (with column title) and data line.
    I will search using the method add_cell_variant but I don't know if it's possible with dynamic ALV.
    Thanks.
