No (NEW) Images in Aperture galleries

Anyone have ideas on how to fix the media sharing between Aperture and iWeb?
Since installing the Aperture 3 trial, I cannot see any new images in the iweb media browser - only images that were imported prior to installing the trial.
Now that I've gone back to my old Aperture 2 (will not purchase the upgrade) I still cannot see any "new" images - again, I can still only see and access images that were originally imported prior to installing the A3 trial.
Have installed all updates and repaired permissions.
Thanks for the help.

Does Aperture 2 have a "Repair Database" when you launch it while holding down alt&command - that solves a lot of problems in version 3.

After 10000 images, Aperture begins to importing new images out of order

Hi All,
I'm at about 13,000 images and from time to time I noticed that whenever I imported images after 10,000...Aperture at that point had begun the numbering sequence over again, some of the images would wind up next to its identically numbered image say from a year ago. In other words, Aperture is sorting by image number instead of by date even though I've selected date.
Now it is happening all the time and all the new images (after 10,000) are finding their home somewhere within the catalog of images instead of at the very end.
I thought I was going to be able to resolve the issue quickly by selecting the 'sort by image date' but that does not fix it. I've tried sorting the dates in an ascending and descending order but nothing I try fixes the sequence. I desperately need to get my images back into chronological order. Any idea?
Thanks,
Tyler

orehek -
Are you renaming the images on import? and if so, which preset are you using? Aperture doesn't have its own naming system otherwise. It uses the file names as the version name.
Also, as another poster asked, which view are you using to view them all at once? All Photos? You can't have more than 10K versions in a single project I believe but I don't see how that could contribute to the weirdness you are seeing.
As for why sort by date doesn't work, that makes no sense. Unless what you actually have is correct, ie, you have duplicate images in your library, that rightly have the same date and name, so the sorts reflect that. Or you have made new versions from your existing images - those would also sort like that. Can you give us some more details/examples?

Will aperture auto advance to display each new image when shooting tethered?

I've tethered successfully with the Canon 6D using either Lightroom or Aperture. When using Lightroom, it will automatically load the new image for display on my external monitor. I cannot find a way to have the same result with Aperture and I would much prefer to use Aperture so the images can be imported directly into the Aperture library. Am I missing something or is this not possible? I like to work from the camera, not sitting at the computer.

Short answer: Yes.
When you initiaite a thethered session, there is a checkbox in the tether HUD that turns auto-advance on or off. The default is on.
If you have tried it and it doesn't work, what are the symptoms?

Does Aperture Recognize New Images?

Sorry for the noob question... I use Aperture for a better way to tag/find/organize. For example, on my hard drive, I have an 'Animals' folder. This includes my dog, wildlife photography, etc. I should have it better organized, but as it stands, ALL images are in this one folder.
That's where Aperture is coming in handy. With keywords, projects, etc, I'm able to find anything easily, rather than aimlessly searching around.
Currently when I import, I select my photos to stay in their current location.
When I have new animal photos, I obviously add them to my hard drive's 'Animal' folder as mentioned. However, is there a way to tell Aperture, "Hey - there's new images in the Animals folder. Update yourself!"
I certainly don't want to constantly manually import. I'm pretty much looking for some quasi-Sync or something.
Hopefully this made sense. Any help would be great here. Thanks in advance.

I do not see your camera on the list of supported cameras, sorry.
Apple - Aperture - Technical Specifications - RAW Support
The Olympus Viewer software reads the raw images just fine.
Does this program have an otion to export the photos in a different format? Then it would be the best way to convert the image files to a supported format.
Or check, if Adobe's free DNG converter supports your camera: Adobe - Adobe Camera Raw and DNG Converter : For Macintosh
Aperture can import DNG files with the right settings.
You might also simply import raw+jpeg and work with the jpegs as original files, while you are waiting for the raw support to be released.

After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the editing to an external drive. Is thee an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the new editing to a backup external drive. Is there an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

But the Library is not a program. I use SuperDuper, and it is smart enough to treat Finder Packages (such as the Library) as a whole bunch of files and folders, and overwrites only those that have changed. Can't CCC be set up the same way?

Dragging images into Aperture (without creating a new Project)

Hi All.
I am trying to pump out a slideshow and I am (in some cases) dragging an image from a desktop folder into a ALBUM in Aperture in which I want the photo. This Album is in a FOLDER with the name of the slideshow along with a number of other Albums in which I am organizing data for this project.
Aperture is creating a new Project in this folder every time I do this. They are labeled "Untitled Project", "Untitled Project(1)" etc. If I delete the Projects then the image is deleted from the Album that I want it in.
Is there a convenient solution for this? In some cases the image is already in Aperture but I don't have the time to go hunting for it and in fact it may not be int there.
Can I somehow create a "Dump Project" that will accept all these new images so that I don't clutter up the space with all the new Projects? Would I do this by dragging and dropping the individual images that are in each of these Projects to the Dump Project?
Any advice that doesn't involve switching out horses would be really welcome.
Thanks in advance!
- Jon

You can't import to an Album, only to a project. Every pic in the Library is in a project. It has to be. If you drag to an Album it will make new project to hold the file. So, don't drag to an Album, make a project and drag to that.

Can not view images in Aperture

Mavens!
I was editing images in Aperture 3.5.1 ( latest Mavericks / iMAC) and went to add sharpening using CTRL + S when all the images dissappeared in the viewer.
I can still see the thumbnails - I can export original images etc - I just can't see anything in the viewer - it's grey and blank.
There are NO filters / searches in place (the usual gotcha for hiding images).
Initially I had the feeling I must have mis-queued the keystroke for sharpening and somehow hidden the images in the library. But now I find that all of my libraries have this problem. Aperture will only display thumbnails and nothing in the viewer.
Coudl this be a "delete plist" scenario? Any clues for further invesigation greatly appreacited as I'm stumped.
Ciao

Hello Kirby
Thank you for yur reply and sorry I have taken so oong to get back to you. We just had a catergory 2 tropical cyclone cross the coast a few km away - been a little pre-occupied.
That said - the problem has gone away.
During the session where it arose I restarted the system twice and the systems persisted - so I am a little mystified.
And again thank you for reminding of the "try new user account" wrinkle - obviously the first step for serious troubleshooting.
Kind regards
Russell

How do I remove images from aperture?

Totally new to apple and aperture so I apologise if this seems like a somewhat noob question but how do I remove images from aperture (using the latest version, 3.4.1)? Coming from a PC and using lightroom I'm used to being able to remove images in two ways:
- removing the image from the "library", so that it no longer shows up in the program at all but is still on your hard drive (when I say removing it from the program entirely, I mean entirely, i.e. not sitting in a trash can or some other place where it's still taking up memory)
- deleting the original image off the hard drive
Is it possible to do either of these things in aperture, on both just a single image or a selection of multiple images, and if so how? I've tried googling this already and am getting a bunch of mixed solutions, none of which have really worked so far, so any answers would be appreciated. Thanks!

The answer partially depends on whether you have a managed or referenced library. Since you're totally new to Aperture, I'm assuming you have a managed library since that's the default.
FYI: Managed means Aperture handles image files and places them inside the library file. Referenced means you manage the image files and Aperture only points to (references) them.
For a managed library, select an image you want to delete. Type command-delete. (That's the reverse delete key next to the "=" key). (You can also right-click an image and choose Delete Version) That will remove the images from their Project and place in the Aperture Trash. They're still taking up space in the Trash. If you really want them gone for good, right-click the Trash in the library pane and select Empty Trash. Poof.
For a reference library, I forgot the exact details since I don't use this type of library, but you'll be asked (or can check a box) to delete the original file from the disk.

I am trying to organize thousands of images in aperture. The dates on the old scanned images is all 2008, when I started importing them. When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008. Any ideas?

I am trying to organize thousands of old images in aperture. Aperture dates them all in 2008, when I started this project. When I change the date in aperture some of them hold the modified date and some revert to 2008. Any ideas?

I just tried a test library, re-imported fresh images from a hard drive, and the date changes still revert.
So neither your external drive nor your Aperture library are to blame.
What do you mean test in a different user acct? Would it be a good idea to uninstall and re-download aperture 3?
Appreciate all your help.
I meant the trouble shooting procedure described here: Isolating an issue by using another user account
To test, if some settings in your user account are faulty or preferences files corrupted, it helps to create a new user account from the "Users&Groups" System preferences. With a brand new user account you can see, if something in your current account is causing this.
Should you see, that Aperture is not even working from a new and clean account, I'd reinstall Aperture, and if need be the Operating system. Are you using any plug-ins?

IWeb and Aperture Galleries

I am wanting to use Aperture to create all my Web Photo Galleries. I currently have a fairly extensive iWeb site. Is there a way to export the Aperture gallery to iWeb? It would make sense right? What is the best way to intergrate the Web Gallery feature in Aperture with a pre-existing iWeb site?

I just finished putting a 38 page site together in iWeb. Most of it was a set of photos from a trip to the Amazon, Machu Picchu, and the Galapagos (http://web.mac.com/donoshea). All the the images on that site were imported into Aperture, adjusted and cropped there, and then exported to iWeb. The export method, however, was simply to drag the previews in the Aperture window, into the appropriate photo album window in iWeb.
I found while using this process, there are few precautions that should be taken. First, be sure that the preview size (bottom section of Preferences for Aperture) are large enough to display well on most monitors. I use "Fit within 1280 x 1280*). Second, update the previews and force a "Generate Previews" if any of the images were modified by an external editor, such as Photoshop.
So I built the site as I adjusted the image in Aperture. I tried the Aperture web galleries and found them too stolid for a personal and family web page.
One other advantage to using Aperture as a prep for iWeb is that after rating the images I thought I wanted on the web site, I grouped the logically or chronologically for display on the web pages, then stacked them for tidiness. If the stack was greater than 8 for a two-page spread, I either cut the number of images (just drop the rating below the selected one) or redistributed the images between stacks to tell the story.
I hope this may be of use to someone,

New bug in Aperture 2.1

I had been using Aperture 2.1 for some time with only the usual bugs, most commonly, the Viewer screen going black or blue or red occasionally, but a new bug has appeared that is forcing me to restart Aperture frequently. After making edits, when I move on to the next image in the Browser (the thumbnail highlighting changes, as it should) the image in the Viewer does not change. I have not found a way to get a new image in the Viewer except restarting Aperture. This is greatly slowing down my processing of big projects.
Has anyone else seen this bug? Have you found a workaround beside restarting?

can u guys please give us a little more info? where's the aperture library located? in your main hard drive (os x) or on another drive?
are you sending the crash logs to apple?
thanx,

Blurred S-RAW images in Aperture 3.3.2

Beginner here so please have patience if I'm doing something stupidly wrong :
I downloaded some holiday photos from my new EOS7D into Aperture 3.3.2 (latest update) running on OSX10.8, the images are canon S-RAW format which I believe is supported by this version of aperture. The images imported fine but when I view them in viewer they are very blurry. So much so that I thought the camera or lens were at fault or that I was viewing a low resolution version of the photo. All the photo's exhibit the same problem but some are more obvious than others.
To check my equipment I imported the same photos direct from the camera into Canon's own Digital Photo Professional. The images are pin sharp.
Any suggestions to what I could be doing wrong :
1. I don't think I'm importing low res images from the camera into Aperture, the aperture image info says the images are RAW (but not S-RAW), and 13MB in size which seems to be correct for S-RAW.
2. Could my version of Aperture be set to view low res or JPG versions of the S-RAW images, if so how do I change it.
3. Are there any known issues with S-RAW (CR2) files and aperture ?
I believe this is a new problem, I looked back at some S-RAW images from my old 40D (same L series 16-35mm lens) viewed in aperture and they look fine
Any help most welcome.
Mike B.

Kirby,
Plenty of testing but even more confusion I'm afraid :
1. updated OSX to the latest version 10.8.1, no change to the blurred effect.
2. updated the 7D firmware to latest version 2.0, no change to the blurred effect.
took some new photos in various formats and imported using the new updated versions :
3. new photo's in RAW, blurred effect dissapeared. Images from DPP viewed at 100% were identical when compared to Aperture at 100%
4. new photos in M-RAW, blurred effect was present quite noticeable when images were compared at 100% size.
5. photo's in S-RAW, blurred effect was very obvious at all zoom levels especially 100%
6. imported the same photo's into iphoto 9.3, iphoto mimicked Aperture ie :
RAW photos were identical in iphoto and DPP, but M-RAW and S-RAW both viewed blurred in iphoto compared to Canon DPP. This one threw me, I had expected iphoto to view correctly in all instances.
If iphoto hadn't given me the same problem I was going to attempt to re-install Aperture (not quite sure how), but if both iphoto and aperture give the same results, I suspect something more fundamental is going wrong.
Mike B.
I tried getting a screen grab for you, I'm not sure if it will work, image on the left is DPP at 100%, image on the right is AP3 at 100%, I cannot get the image on the right to look any better than this in AP3.

Aperture 3.5.1 says this library was opened with a newer version of Aperture, repairing it with this version may damage the library

I launched Aperture with Option Command on opening so that I could repair the unified database. After I select repair from the menu, I keep getting a strange error message that says "This library has been opened with a newer version of Aperture. Repairing the library using this version of Aperture may remove data supported only in newer versions of Aperture." I selected cancel and checked that I am running Aperture 3.5.1 and there are no updates showing up when I select Software Update. So how could I have opened it with a newer version of Aperture before? And what is it going to remove?
Aperture is telling me that my unified library needs to be repaired. I figured that out myself when photos started disappearing in events and albums in iPhoto, even though the event or album showed several photos were there in the number of photos in the top right, no images appeared. But I have never received this error message in Aperture before and I do not know where it is coming from or what it is going to do.

Here is the Open Library View #1:
Even though my unified library is the default library, just in case this problem was being caused because of the Aperture 3 Trial Library version (even though that is not the library that Aperture was opening), I upgraded that library too. Here is the Open Library Info after that library upgrade:
I retried the Aperture repair on my unified library and got the same error message on launch:
But I am running the repair anyway because I do not know what else to do. I will let you know how that goes when it is finished.

I have images in aperture and in my picture folder that I want to burn to DVD. I need them to be viewable on pc and possibly via a DVD player. My first attempt proved to work only mac. Can anyone help?

Can anyone help me with burning DVD with images in Aperture and picture folder. I need the to be viewable on pc and DVD player if possible.
My first attempt only works on mac.

Eh la Pastenague! Je savais que tu était léthale pour l'homme mais ce sont pluôt les machines à pommes qui devraient te craindre. Merci! Solved.
For future reference.
My TC is a 3rd gen.
I actually had to reset to standard defaults not only once but twice. The first time I simply returned to my old profile but that only led to the same message error on the network settings (i.e. IP by default, cannot connect to the internet). Therefore the second time around I kept my profile as backup and re-created a new one plus a guest one.
The airport utility then signaled to issues remaining:
1) Internet access was cut - this I solved by simply reseting the cable modem
2) There were no DNS Servers - I simply copied the ones I had from the previous setup and it worked
I did have AppleCare....
I'm online again and I hope for good.
Thanks a lot
PS. a small tip - I made captures of all my settings in Network settings, Airport Utility and Network utility using Grab in case of ... if anything it is just handy to get back settings that your are missing when setting up a new configuration

5DIII images in Aperture have a line at the top

I got my new Canon 5DIII on the weekend and before importing the first lot of images, I updated Aperture as I'd seen the software update announcing support for 5DIII raws.
All images when viewed through Aperture have a thin (possibly 1-pixel wide) line at the top of a landscape image, or to the left or right on a portrait image. The line is not a single colour, but seems to be made up of a distortion of colours from the image itself. I can see that the raw images on the disk when viewed through the Finder do not have the line (PHEW!), and the line is not there when I export an image from Aperture. So, given that it only appears inside Aperture, it's not a huge problem, and I'm certainly happy that it's not the camera, but it's still annoying. Another point is that the line is not there during that 3-second "Processing" period while it's first looking at a new RAW; it only appears after it's successfully processed it.
Anyone else experienced this, or can someone try it out and look for it? I'm at work at the moment so can't upload a screenshot, but happy to do so later if required.
cheers,
Ian
