Problem after importing iPhoto library - Syncing iPhone/iPad: wrong dates

Hi everyone,
I have a problem, which I cannot seem to find a solution to:
I have imported my iPhoto library into Aperture without any hassle. The problem now is:
When I sync my iPhone/iPad within iTunes, and I click "sync with Aperture"(instead of iPhoto) under "Photos", then "select only the projects of the last 3 months", I always wind up with ALL my Photos (20.000 +) that I have imported with Aperture. Not just the last 30+.
The individual photo's meta information in Aperture is however correct: i.e. a project containing pictures from 2006 still shows the pictures being from 2006. So they shouldn't show up under the photo sync within iTunes when I click "last 3 months", right?
What am I doing wrong? Does Aperture set the date to all the imported projects to the same current date they were imported on? Is there any way to correct this, or sync only the photos of the last 3 months?
Otherwise I will have to go back to iPhoto...
Thank you!

again the same problem, i emptied my trash and again resync after uncheck the photo sync option all the pics were gone, there wasnt any cache in pictures folder, i selected the photo to be sync arround 4573 and again its updating only 405 and i dont see any cache in pictures folder, i dont know may be in lion its saving cache somewhere else, im unable to find it and unable to do it right way. i searched in spotlight for ipod photo cache nothing showed up.

How do I fix orientation of photos after they were changed after importing iPhoto library into new Photo app in Yosemite?

When I switched over to the new Photos app in Yosemite v10.10.3 and imported my iPhoto library to it, random photos in my library had their orientation changed. Some are upside down and some are turned on their side. I have a huge photo library, so this is frustrating. Hoping I don't have to go in and fix each one. I tried rebuilding my library by lauching Photo holding down option+command, but that didn't fix anything. Please help! Mahalo!

You do not have duplicate albums or photos.
Photo Stream
http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/photo-stream.html
The Camera Roll is for photos/videos that were captured by your iPhone, and for a photo saved from a received email, MMS, or from a website. These photos are also placed in the Photo Stream to be synced with your computer and/or with another iOS 5 device. Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera.
All photos transferred from your computer via the iTunes sync process are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library. The photos in the folders or albums below include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in a particular folder or album below only by selecting the folder or album, or you can view all photos in all folders or albums be selecting Photo Library.
This cannot be changed.
Removing photos or folders/albums of photos from your iPhone that were transferred from your computer via the Tunes process is done in the same way - via the iTunes sync process.

Problems after restoring iPhoto library

I have had a number of problems with iPhoto since restoring my photo library after a hard drive failure. Apple replaced the hard drive and I restored the photo library from a DVD backup.
The problems with iPhoto are:
1. When attaching my digital camera to import new photos the import goes OK, except the new photos are not added as a new film roll. They are placed (seemingly randomly) in a film roll that is 2 years old.
After this if I sort the library by date they appear at the end (as would be expected), but if I quit iPhoto and reopen it later the newly imported photos are gone. iPhoto prompts me to recover missing photos when I open it and it does so, but the recovered photos are just file numbers and grey-dashed boxes -- no actual photos.
2. iPhoto has started moving photos from years ago to the end of my library (ie the most recent) and re-dating them with todays date.
I hope I have explained my issues adequately, they are making my head spin!
I would very much appreciate any advice.

M&C:
I trashed the iPhoto Library File on the desktop
What file would that be, the Library6.iPhoto file? If it were on the desktop then it would not have any effect on the library. That's the file that can get corrupted for a number of reasons, some of which seem to come out of the blue. It's usually due to an interruption while that database file is being written to and it's left open and, thus, damaged. Users have reported it going bad after shutting down for the night and the next day it's gone bad.
For that reason I suggest you look at the tip at the end of my signature for a way to protect against 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file. You can put it in the Dock and click on it after every import or any extensive editing/organizational effort in the library. You want iPhoto dormant when you make the copy.

Problem with imported iphoto library

I imported my photo library from an older mac, all photos are there, but when I click on anyone to blow it up I get a giant exclamation mark and no photo. thumbnails are there, but can't view photos. Some permissions problem? Thanks
Patrick

It is odd because the photo is visible for an instant before the ! shows up.
That's just a cached image.
Alternative:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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, faces and places 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.

Problems after rebuilding iPhoto library

After an automatic rebuild of the iPhoto library, iPhoto shows only 950 out of 7000 picture that I originally had in iPhoto. When I click on a picture, iPhoto gives me the blown up of another picture.
I have actually been having problems with iPhoto since a while. My first problem was that iPhoto kept on crashing while I carried out the smallest kind of editing. After some time, iPhoto wouldn't start at all. I have therefore backed up the library in an external hard disk and started an automatic rebuild of the library. Now I can start iPhoto but I encounter the problems described in the first paragraph.
Do I have too many pictures for one library? Is it advisable to split the pictures in two libraries? How? Or should I rather get the latest version of iPhoto from iLife? Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No, you don’t have too many pics for one Library. V5 of iPhoto is good for 25k images. (Later versions are good for 250k images).
Download iPhoto Library Manager 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.

Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone/iPad?

Why doesn't my iPhoto library sync properly to my iPhone and iPad? I have already tried deleting the iPod photo cache. I sync the entire iPhoto library, which includes about 8,000 photos. The Events and Albums never match up, with many missing photos in most albums and events.

Thats is how I did it originally and tried it that way again but it never brings in my library. Now it gives me a response saying it doesn't have correct permissions. I'm the only user on the iMac. I did recently move the library from my old iMac iPhoto with no trouble.

HT2498 How do I import Photo Library from iPhone 3GS to Mac Pro? Unable to see photos when USB cable connected???

Unable to import photo library from iPhone 3GS into new Mac Pro. I have gone to iTunes when USB connected but not showing photos. Also gone to iPhoto still cannot see the photos. Have done Sync as well but still now joy! Help!

Yes Camer Roll is there but not Photo Library. Photo option is also not available when attempting Sync via USB.

Not enough free space on Aperture Library volume to import iPhoto library into Aperture?

I purchased Aperture 3 from the App Store after using the free trial version for a few weeks. I downloaded the program and do not have any images imorted into Aperture yet. I tried to import my iPhoto library using File>Import>iPhoto Library and received this message: There is not enough free space on your Aperture Library volume to import the selected items. It is estimated that you need at least 10GB of free space. I have iPhoto 11 and 25,000 images on iPhoto. I did review the Aperture owners manual and did not find an answer to this.

Well obviously you don't have enough space to import an iPhoto Library that is more than 10 gigs.
But that's not importat right now.
You have the makings of a major problem and you need to address it now.
OS X needs about 10 gigs of hard drive space for normal OS operations - things like virtual memory, temporary files and so on.
Without this space your Mac will slow down as the OS hunts for space on the disk, files will be fragmented, also slowing things down, apps will crash and the risk of data corruption - that is damage to your files, photos, music - increases exponentially.
Your first priority is to make more space on that HD. Nothing else can be done until you do. Purchase an external HD and move your Photos and Music to it. Aperture, iPhoto an iTunes can run perfectly well with the Library on an external disk.
If you don't you will suffer data loss. I can't stress this enough.

Can't import iPhoto Library - Aperture 1.5.2 & iPhoto 6.0.5

I have tried searching the Aperture discussions for a solution, and have only found one useful topic from July 2006:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303438
However, it states this was a partial solution with Aperture 1.0 & iPhoto 6.0.1 or 6.0.2, and would be resolved in Aperture 1.1. We're up to Aperture 1.5.2 now, and I'm unwilling to uninstall iPhoto and revert back to 6.0 to try this solution. I have a SLOOOOW workaround (batch export original file at original size & format from iPhoto to temp hard drive folder, then import from file to Aperture), and have even tried working on an Automator script (not yet successful). Does anyone else have this problem?
FYI, the symptoms are: in Aperture File > Import > iPhoto Library... Selected iPhoto Library folder, Store Files in their current location, and click "Choose". The popup window closes, but nothing happens. No spinning beach ball, no error message, nothing.
Thanks for any help or insights.

Hey Suydam.
I am having the EXACT same issues and it is driving me insane.
I have been searching and searching for an answer and nothing.
there is this thread here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=4311146&#4311146
where the person found a solution but it just seems rather tedious to do.
I am hoping I can find an answer.
I see you posted this back in Feb. Was wondering if you found a solution.

Aperture import iPhoto library, no duplicates

Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
According to the online manual there is a command 'File > Import > iPhoto Library' that would allow the 'Do not import duplicates' option. This command does not seem to exist in the current version of Aperture.
This may be a way to do this -
    Right or control click on the iPhoto library to 'Show Package Contents'. Move the Masters folder out of the package.
    In Aperture, click the Import arrow icon and navigate to the Masters folder. This allows selection of the 'Do not import duplicates' checkbox.
    Then perhaps run Duplicate Annihilator on the Aperture library. Use the option to label any duplicates and originals. Flag the originals and search for keywords 'original' and 'duplicate' to verify.
Any comments on this - will it work?

Merging iPhoto libraries into a single Aperture library risks duplicate images. Multiple iPhoto libraries might contain the same image.
The recommended procedure to merge iPhoto libraries using Aperture is described here:
Aperture 3.3: How to use Aperture to merge iPhoto libraries
You will need the current Aperture 3 version - at least Aperture 3.3. and open all your iPhoto libraries in iPhoto 9.3 or later at least once.
Merging libraries is preferable to simply importing the "masters" folder - this way you will be able to save all your work - edits, tagging, albums, etc.
If you move the "Masters" folder from your iPhoto library, you may corrupt the library, and by importing only the originals and not the edited versions, all your work done in iPhoto will be lost.
If you have Duplicate Annihilator, you can still run it afterwards to check, if duplicates are remaining after merging. The "Merge" will only look for perfect duplicates - similar filename, similar size.

TS1398 Did anybody got problem after downloading ios 6 on iPhone 4?

Did anybody got problem after downloading iOS 6 on iPhone 4??cause mine one got problem......1st,my signal got weak and 2nd my safari browser got problem....slow and unable to connect to network sometime???even my 1st gen iPad much faster.....while open safari browser.....

My Verizon 16 GB iPhone 4 Camera is fine. It is even located on the lock screen.
What may have happened is they may have moved your icon to another location. But check the lock screen. There should be a camera icon next to the slide bar. Just press the camera ico and slide it UP

Puzzled How to Import iPhoto Library

I have an existing iPhoto library. I go to File > Import > iPhoto Library... and select the Pictures/iPhoto Library folder. I then press Import, which presumably begins the process, but instead, it opens the folder (i.e., in the Finder pane of the file picker, it was showing Pictures and iPhoto Library with iPhoto Library highlighted. clicking "Import" shows iPhoto Library and its contents with nothing highlighted).
So, my question is, how to I tell Aperture 3.0.1 to import my iPhoto 6 library? It seems nobody else is having this problem or it'd be all over this forum and/or Google. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

I am also having issues importing an iphoto library into Aperture:
Yawwwwwnnn said that iphoto 6 won't import. News to me and now that I'm well informed, if this is in fact the case, what do I do? Upgrade at cost to Iphoto 8 for the privilege of importing into $200 worth of new software?
Hope not. I guess the key is doing less than a truckload import of files but as I just installed, my options are not clear. Any comments pointing me in the right direction would be very much appreciated.
Cheers

Problem when renaming iPhoto Library

I recently renamed two iPhoto Libraries. A day later I plugged in my external HDD to do a Time Machine (TM) backup and noticed that TM deleted ALL my previous backups except the last one, stating there was not enough space.
My conclusion is that renaming these libraries caused TM to see them as NEW libraries and wanted to back them up all over again, meaning I needed 40GB of space rather than the 15GB available and let to the deletion of all my previous backups (without warning)!
I have posted about this in the TM forum, but decided to mention it here as well to warn others of this potential problem.

problem when copying iphoto library from ext hd to ext hd. stops after 2 gb saying there was data with same name on target hd. but that one is brandnew and freshly formatted.
How are your external HDs formatted? Both need to be formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled, not case sensitive) to work with iPhoto.
If the file system differ, you may have problems with ambitious filenames, for example, if one drive is case sensitive and the other not.
