Option to erase after import- where is it?

Hi there,
I've just switched from iPhoto to Aperture 3 and have noticed that when I import photo's from my iPhone or iPad I don't get a dialogue box asking me if I want to delete the photo's after import. I looked on the help section of Aperture and it told me "There will only be a dialog if you have the preference Show alert when import is complete enabled." The problem is that I can't find that option anywhere in the preferences options. Any Ideas?
Thanks

As Ernie mentions, that option is available for camera memory cards. This is the only place it is an option AFAIK.
It has never been an option for either of my iPhones (first 3G and now the 4) in Aperture 3.
With the camera card dialog there is no option to 'not show' that dialog when you complete an import. This then precludes the possibility of a preference that could be reset.
iPhoto handles that one differently for some reason.
Not sure why the difference between programs.

  • Erase after import: some cameras do, some don't.

    I thought i'd just overlook it, and deal with the extra steps, but i always forget to manually erase the images off my camera after importing...
    The strange thing is, when i import from my sony compact camera (T100), after it's done importing, it asks if i want to eject, or erase and eject.
    When i import from my canon xsi, it doesn't give me that option, it just stops importing when its done, and that's it.
    Anyone else have this problem? It must be either the camera, or aperture's support of that particular camera...right?

    Hi I have the same problem with the same camera (Canon EOS 400D as it is called in Europe). But in version 1 of Aperture it allowed me to "erase and eject" whereas now it only ejects.
    I am as you in favour of doing it all via software. The poster above noted that "it will bite" but nothing ever happened to me (besides once images have been imported there is no problem if they get deleted from the card...).
    I still hope the option is coming back, as it speeds everything a bit (although not dramatically)

  • D300 - Erasing Images After Import

    After importing images from the camera, I don't get an option to erase the memory card in the camera - just a "Transfer Complete" kind of dialog with a single "OK" button. Anyone experienced similar behavior?
    Thanks...

    This was my thinking also. I've been using Aperture since its inception with a D50 and it always gave me the option to "Erase and Eject" memory card after picture transfer was complete. I always felt "safer" knowing my pics were on my Mac so I'd just erase the card at that time. Never had any issues with the memory cards or the camera doing it this way. I could then just grab it and run. It's not a huge deal to format the card after transfer, just seems like an added step is all. It just seems like something that used to work fine and now doesn't, sort of a step backward for Aperture.

  • Erase memory stick after import

    I have a sony DSC-P10 camera and have noticed that if I check the box to erase files from the memory stick after import, the pictures are erases but still seem to be taking up space on the stick. I had to reformat the memory stick to get the space back.
    Is there something I can tweak in iPhoto? If I have to erase the memory stick manually it is no big deal, I just wondered if I am missing a trick here?
    Mike

    Mike,
    I don't know anything about your memory stick, but I can ell you from personal experience and from other's experiences here to NOT have iPhoto or even Image Capture to erase your memory stick.
    Thins can go wrong in the download process and there is a chance you can lose the images on the computer and on the card if you have it automatically erased.

  • Where are all the photos after import?

    I don't know where to begin. iPhoto has gotten worse and worse over the years, but unfortunately I have tens of thousands of photos in it going back decades.
    The tipping point for me was after photo streams and extra syncing was added to iOS 5. After importing to iPhoto I simply don't know where all my photos are anymore.
    The import process itself is all funny. Sometimes it seems to just import the photo stream - which doesn't include videos.
    Sometimes it will import everything if I press Import again, but the numbers don't match the numbers of photos on my iPhone.
    If I check latest import it doesn't match what was just imported.
    If I select to delete photos on my iPhone after import it deletes some but not all of them.
    I don't have any confidence anymore that the photos imported. And organizing them - forget about it. It's the worse mess I've ever seen. I can't find anything anymore.
    It definitely doesn't "just work."
    I would like to clear out the photos on my iPhone 4 because the camera has gotten slow and I read somewhere that having too many photos in the camera roll can slow down the camera operation itself. Is that true? That would be sort of dumb if true because the only way of making albums directly on your iPhone is to leave the original photos in the camera roll.
    Is there anything better than iPhone I can use to organize all my photos?
    Thanks,
    doug

    Well, I do like that Photostream syncs between my iPhone and iPad. What I don't understand is why the import into iPhone seems to sometimes have just Photostream events and then separately events sorted by date, but without the items that were imported into Photostream events.
    Rather than turn off Photostream altogether, what would be nice is if I could just turn it off in iWeb. Is that possible?
    I'm sorry my "finding and organizing" complaint sounds vague. It's hard to explain clearly because everything is so convoluted in iPhoto now.
    Basically, it used to be that
    (1) I could import and everything would be broken up into events by date;
    (2) I could delete from my iPhone after import and everything would be deleted.
    But (1) is not happening reliably. And neither is (2).
    I just want to be able to organize my photos and find them. Even finding them in the current version of iPhoto got harder than it was in the previous version of iPhoto. It's just become a really confusing mess of a piece of software to use.
    Right now the immediate problem, to attempt to be clearer, is that my imported photos and movies are not broken down by date-delimited events. The problem seems to be related to Photostream imports which confuse the normal event grouping process.
    Thanks,
    doug

    my iphone 5s got stolen and the option to erase data after 10 tries was not enabled. What happens after the incorrect password is input after 10 times?

    After the sixth erroneous passcode entry a delay is imposed that increases exponentially and eventually reaches over 40 years before another attempt can be made.
    No one yet knows how long the next delay is.

  • Apex Application not working after importing to my apps schema...

    Hi friends,
    I created one DB application in my sample schema that is associated with apex 4.0.....
    Application details:
    *) login page(where i will be giving username and password)
    *) page 1 (consist of several form fields, like
    --->name:
    --->module:
    --->projects:
    ----->email:
    the above are the fields, if i put any entries in the above field means, it will get automatically inserting in the report column, which is also in the same page consist of the above fields in the table manner...
    since this report table consist of an edit icon in front, if i clicked the edit icon of an one row means, it will go to another page..
    *) i.e. page 3(consist of the same fields with entries in it automatically corresponding to the each and every row, suppose if i want to update any changes means i can update in it....
    this is my application that i developed it is working well with in the sample schema apex 4.0..
    What i did is i created a new workspace with APPS schema in it...and i have imported my application that i developed in sample schema to APPS schema....
    Since after importing to APPS schema...when i tried to open the application, it is not showing any datas in it...That is due to the tables that are supporting the application is not in APPS schema, so what i did is i have given grant privilege to the respective tables and also i have created a synonym for accessing the table in APPS schema for supporting the application.....
    Now if i tried to put any entries in the form in page 2, it is getting inserting in the report column which is also in the page2....
    But my problem starts here, if i clicked the edit icon symbol in each and every row of the report column it is going to the page 3 which has a respective form fields, but it is not showing any entries in it automatically, and if i tried to put any entry in it, it is not getting updating in the report table......
    why this problem occurred for my application in APPS schema....But my application works very well within the sample schema......why it is not showing any entries in the form automatically soon after i clicked the edit icon in each and every row.....
    i couldn't know what is the real problem behind this..... help me friends.
    As this is my urgent requirement in my project..Reply me ASAP...
    Thanks in Advance..
    Regards,
    Harry...

    First, try a system reset although I can't give you any confidence.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

  • Cannot edit chapter names in iDVD after importing movie from iMovie

    I have no trouble customizing iDVD (version 5.0.1) menu page after importing iMovie directly (instead of going to QT as interim step). But the names of the chapter markers are file names for video clips, title pages and transitions. The iMovie help says to change the names in the space next to the 'thumbnails' of chapters found in iDVD. THERE ARE NO THUMBNAILS. And there is no way I could find, using menu options or clicking on the chapter frames shown in 'map' mode to type in anything.
    There are other problems, like getting rid of the default "Travel Cards' stuff...like I can drop a still photo in for a custom background, but the default 'celluloid design' banner still rolls up in previw mode. If you can also help with that, great. But the main thing right now is getting these chapter names change.

    VJK,
    You are the third person who has taken a crack at this. I don't know if you read my last reply which detailed the situation. But if you did and the 'menu' you refer to is the main menu page, that is not the problem; I can change text there. I am talking about the submenu for 'Scene Selections', which I have only been able to access via map mode.
    In map mode I cannot highlight the names. Period. Can't do it no matter where I place the cursor or carefully click.
    In preview mode, when the Scene Selection sub-menu page appears whenever you drag the cursor over a chapter name it automatically highlights so any clicking will either do nothing (if a real careful click, trying to highlight text and not trigger off play of the movie chapter) or just start play for the movie chapter.
    So...how does this newbie get to the 'menu' you mention where I can click on a chapter name in order to type new text?
    You will be able to change the names in the menu, but
    depending upon your mouse, etc, it can be a little
    particular.
    Place the cursor at the very beginning of the word
    you want to change. Click once .. this should hi-lite
    the word. Click again, it should make the word go
    blue (or in a blue box) then you can delete and
    re-type.
    Be sure to save the proj
    I have found that even after saving and successfully
    burning the project, if I return to it later the
    changes seem to have gone away ... so if you go back
    to it later, just double check that everything is
    kosher

  • How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    How do I import images from my hard drive without losing resolution? My original files after import are significantly smaller. What should I do?

    Hi Keith, and all others chiming in, I do have the correct option checked in advanced settings telling iPhoto to copy the images into the library. What is a refernced library? Perhaps this is where I am getting confused. I exported my entire photo library from an old iMac5 to my external hard drive, from there I attempted to import the entire library to my new iMac. Am I overlooking an obvious and easy way to import from the hard drive to the new iMac--I dragged the entire photo pholder from the hard drive to the open window of iPhoto on the new computer. Now, I only get preview file sizes in iPhoto, unless I have my external drive open. Perhaps I need to import the original images from the hard drive in a different way...?! (This is making me feel pretty stupid.)

  • After import no thumbnails

    Hello!
    First of all: sorry for my English! I try my best.
    I use 2 cameras. Nikon D80 and Nikon D7000.
    After importing pictures from my memory card with D80 pictures there is no problem. The pictures are imported and the thumbnails are there.
    If I import D7000 pictures from my memory card (same card as above) the pictures get imported but there are no thumbnails ans no events. If I try to import again a message pops up if I want to replace the alredy imported pictures. Means the import was successful but the thumbnails are missing.
    I already started iphoto (pressing apple+alt) and tried all 4 options for new thumbnails, new database. It didn't work.
    Does anyone have an idea what else I can try?

    Right click on a shot and choose Show Event from the resulting menu
    The usual reason for this is that the images are there but not where you expect them to be. Check the date and time on the camera.

  • Pics missing after import

    I was importing pictures from my camera to iPhoto, the import finished....the pics were erased from my camera. Then iPhoto quit unexpectedly. When I go back into iPhoto my pictures that were just imported were no where to be found. Sad sad story.....can anyone think of a way to find them.....are they placed in any other location???
    Thanks for the help

    Katie:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Open the iPhoto Library package and see if there's a folder in there titled "Import" or "Importing". If there is look in side and see if there are any files in it. If so move to the desktop, launch iPhoto and import the contents of that photo. If those are your missing file you're done.
    If not you may have to get a 3rd party file recovery application like MediaRECOVER to recover the deleted files from the camera's memory card. If your camera does not mount on the desktop you'll need to get a card reader. IMO using a card reader and not having iPhoto delete after import is the best way to go. I always let the camera reformat the memory card after uploading.
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) 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 created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), 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 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
    Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Delete from memory card after import

    Hi,
    I'm a fresh Lightroom newbie, and I am missing how to delete pictures from a memory card as I am importing them into Lightroom. This seems a glaringly obvious feature, so it must be hiding somewhere.
    The only options I can see in the "Import Photos" dialog are
    - Copy photos to a new location and import
    - Copy photos as Digital Negative (DNG) and import
    There doesn't seem to be an option to delete files after import, just various ways to eject the card.
    I've found one way if I choose "Import Photos from Disk" while in Lightroom, there I have a Move option, but why not from device? Every other photo importer has this.
    Thanks,
    Zak

    Thanks for your responses. I'll go ahead and use "Import photos from disk" and change to my card reader. I personally had no problems in my years reading & immediately deleting files from memory cards. I had a few instances where I inadvertently deleted a fresh imported picture on the computer, I used undelete utilities on the card in these cases.
    That said, I still think it would be a good feature. If the users want to do it (2 years of questions), just let them.

  • Aperture 3.3.2 Not Ejecting Card After Import?

    Has anyone else noticed that Aperture is not automaically ejecting the SD card after an Import even thogh that option is checked on the Import window? I've loaded two cards since the upgrade and so far neither time has it ejected the card as expected.

    Jim,
    Glad you're happy it no longer ejects the card after import. However, that's not the way it's supposed to work if you have the eject card option checked.
    thank you, I think
    The way it is supposed to work is not described in the manual, for it is depending on the make of your camera. The manual only states:
    Note: The options offered in this dialog depend on the way your camera is made available when it is connected. Some cameras connect as mass storage devices. When you import from these cameras, the Erase and Eject options appear. Other cameras simply connect as cameras, and you will not see either Erase or Eject after the import is completed. In that case, you can erase the images directly in the camera.
    I see for all cameras different controls. For my Lumix camera I see the "Eject" button, but no option to choose, if I want automatic eject. The Canon camera does not show any options at all. The automatic "Eject" option I have never seen for any camera I had - only an automatic "Erase", that I never used, for it is dangerous. So up to now I had to live with auto eject, because there never has been an option to select differently.
    Apple certainly could improve the documentation of this feature in the otherwise very good manual.

  • Imported images from my iPhone became corrupted after importing.

    I Imported images from my iPhone and they became corrupted after importing. They appeared fine just after import, so I unfortunately erased my phone. When I reopened the aperture project where they were stored they had streaks, some were only partially visible, and others had no image just an exclaimation point with the words "incompatible file". thanks in advance for any suggestions or help.

    What you describe are very typical symptoms: You import; the images look to be o.k.; you go ahead and delete them. The problem is that during the import you only see the previews created by your camera, not the actual images you are importing. When you afterwards try to edit or to enlarge the images Aperture will recreate its own, better previews and needs to access the original master image files. If Aperture cannot find the master image files or cannot open them, you may see warnings (unsupported) or corrupted thumbnails. Only then you will notice if the images have been imported correctly, and that may be too late, if you deleted the images from your camera.
    How did you import? Are the imported master image files managed or referenced, i.e. included in the Aperture Library or referenced outside?
    I'd suggest you look directly at the master image files to check if they are o.k. and can be read by other applications.
    If your master image files are managed you'll find the images in the Aperture Library by right-clicking the Aperture Library package and selecting "Show Package Contents". Then Browse the folder "Masters". The master image files are stored in subfolders organized by the date of the import session.
    If your master image files are referenced, open the folder where you told Aperture to move them to.
    Check for two things:
    Have all your images really been imported?
    What is the  format and the state of the images? Try to open the images with Preview, or any other image editor you have and check if they really are corrupted, or if only Aperture has a problem to access them.
    If all your images are there, but Aperture cannot access them, your Aperture library may need fixing.
    Back up your Aperture library (just a precaution) and use the Aperture Library First Aid Tools to repair the permissions or/and to repair the database; see this section of the Aperture 3 User Manual on how to do that: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    If repairing and rebuilding did not help, but you found the original masters and can read them, then copy them to a location outside Aperture and try to convert them to another file format with Preview or another application that can read them. Then try again to import those files to Aperture.
    Post back, if you have more questions.
    Good Luck
    Léonie
