Problem importing photos in Aperture

Having problem importing pics from finder into Aperture. When I click import and follow the path to the folder holding pics, "processing" icon spins briefly but nothing appears on screen. Folder holds at most 100 pics so I don't think thats the problem. Problem has occurred in the past but usually clears after several attempts - not this time.

Shift-command-4 will bring up the screen saver crosshairs. Place the mouse over the Aperture window and press the space bar the crosshairs turninto a camera (this will take a shot of the whole window it is over) then click the mouse.
Use the camera icon in the text window to attach the image to the post:

Problem Importing Photos from Aperture 3 into iPhoto '11

I store my photos in Aperture 3, but import them into iPhoto to create calendars, cards, etc. I usually work with RAW or high resolution JPG images in Aperture. However, when I import these into the new iPhoto '11, it automatically converts my RAW images into very low resolution images (e.g., 100-200k instead of at least 1-2MB). I cannot seem to find an option to change this. This was not a problem with the old iPhoto. To import, I start in iPhoto, then click "Show Aperture Library", then drag my photos/folder. I would like to have an option to import images as RAW files, or just high res JPGs.
I know I can export my Aperture images to the desktop, then import them into iPhoto for a temporary fix, but that is such as hassle, especially since iPhoto and Aperture are supposed to work well together. Thanks for any suggestions!

Aperture creates preview images that contain all the adjustments you've made to the master image. These previews are what is shared with other apps such as iLife or if you drag and drop an image out of Aperture to another app or the Finder.
The size of the previews is controlled in Aperture Preferences. Open Aperture Preferences and click on the Previews icon at the top. In the bottom of this dialog there is a popup menu titled "Photo Preview". This is the setting that controls the size of the image Aperture shares with iPhoto. Change this setting to the size you want.
But wait, you're not done yet. Changing this setting does nothing until a new preview is created in Aperture. If you right click an image in Aperture there is a menu item near the bottom named "Update Preview". But what you really need is "Generate Preview". Right click the image and then hold down the option key and you'll see "Update Preview" change to "Generate Preview". Choose "Generate Preview" and a new preview will be created using the new size setting you made in Preferences. You need to do this for each and every image you wish to share at the larger size. You can select multiple images before selecting the "Generate Preview" command to speed things up.
Now when you share an image from Aperture to iPhoto the new larger file will be used. The advantage of smaller previews is your Aperture library will also be smaller but the trade off is what you get in other apps that are using your images.

Cannot import photos from aperture

Up until yesterday I've had no problems importing photos from Aperture (3.1.3) during the iPhone (4.3.5) sync process. Now iTunes (10.4.1) presents me with a dialogue window containing the following message: "The iPhone "xxx" cannot be synced. The required file cannot be found." The photo files are there in Aperture. If I uncheck all of the detail boxes, but leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box checked the sync process completes successfully, but no photos were copied to the iPhone because none were selected. I've rebooted the iMac, etc. And, of course, if I leave the "Sync Photos from Aperture" box unchecked the sync process completes successfully.
What am I missing?
Thanks,
George

I thought my core issue was that my single library has this iPhoto icon associated with it. I'd prefer it to be considered as an Aperture library.
Are you looking at the correct libary in the Finder? That icon is puzzling.
What are the versions of iPhoto and Aperture that you are using?
If you have upgraded your photolibrary by the latest versions of Aperture (Aperture 3.4.5) and iPhoto (iPhoto 9.4.3) the icon should be the same for both iPhoto libraries and Aperzure libraries. If you are not yet using the latest version, consider to upgrade, because you are missing out on some bug fixes.
The "Kind" displayed in the Finder will depend on the filename extension. A library created by iPhoto should have the extension "photolibrary" and the Aperture libraries "aplibrary".
Check also the settings in Image Capture:
In Image Capture you can set the application to open for each device individually. It might be possible, that you have set a diffrent application to open in Image Capture: I have set all my devices to "No Application" in "Image Capture". This way I can decide, if I want to open iTunes or Aperture, when I connect my iPad or iPod.
If you are really troubled by the "Kind = Photo Library" you can convert that by importing the iPhoto Library into a new, empty Aperture Library. Then Aperture will set up the internal database files with the "Kind = Aperture Library".

After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
(I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

I think I just figured this out.
Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab. Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up. Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality. You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews. iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults. Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
Hope that helped.

Unable to import photos in Aperture after iPhoto last update 9.6.1

Hi,
I have no clue if it's related, but after iPhoto last update to 9.6.1, I'm no more able to import photos in Aperture from my Pentax K-50.
Spinning wheel and after that, I get the message that no pictures were imported.
Everything was going fine until that iPhoto update!
Sometimes, it will import 1 picture and then Aperture will crash, saying that it was impossible to import pictures.
I formatted my SD card, but same result.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

Problem Importing photos from camera to iPhoto

Help. For a while I had no problems importing photos from my camera now I get the following error message:- /private/var/folders/CC/CC5eraW2GGCddoAX3DUGjE+TM/-Tmp-/iPhoto/PICT1015.JPG
Does anyone know what this means? What I have done to my computer to cause this? and how to fix it. Thank you.

Sam
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Launch Image Capture (in your Apps Folder) and use it to move the pics to the desktop. Then try import from there.
If that works, then use your camera to reformat your card, and see if that works in the future.

Display problem import photos

Hello,
I have a display problem when I try to import photos into Lightroom.
I use the version 5.2.
The problem can be viewed in the following video.
At the begining you can view that there is something weird as under the folder "Panoramas" there is a grey block where there should be the rest of the folders onmy disk.
Then, I try to select a folder on my disk MacHD or SaveSSD and everything is ok.
And when I come back on my disk MacSSD, everything is going wrong (it begins when I click on "Panoramas").
Any idea how to fix this ?

My video was just to illustrate the display problem.
As I said before I had it when I import from my SD card. My common workflow is importing from the SD card to the MacSSD disk, with a renaming. That's why I choose copy and not just Add to the catalog.
By the way, I had another strange thing. In the Folders on the left side of the Library module I got 2 times the same name (folder "2013").
I right-clicked and refesh folder, LR asked me to merge the both folder "2013" and it somehow seems to solve the import problem.
I don't really get what I did.......

Problems importing photos with a color label.

Hello:
I'm trying to import photos and assign a color label at the same time. My idea is to know what pics are just imported and put they into "status 0" of my workflow, that is, the pic is just imported and need to be accepted/rejected, then be classified, then made basic corrections, etc, etc. I'm going to change color labels to go from red to green status... a tipical workflow.
OK, this is what I did:
Import pics:
* I select the directory and create/assign a new metadata preset.
* In this metadata preset I set author/creator and some other IPTC fields.
* Also I put the word "red" in Label field.
* Do the import...
What I can see then:
The photos are imported and the red label is visible. You can see the red label in the grid view (at every photo's bottom) and also, at the bottom toolbar, you can see that the red label is checked. If you click at the small label at the photo's bottom you can see the small menu with the red label checked.
OK, it seems that the color label is imported but...
In the filmstring, if you filter to see only the red labeled pics... nothing is selected !! You have to unassign and assign again the red label and this time you can filter by color label.
What is happening ? Does Lightroom read the color label from two different fields from the metadata ? Is something not synched during the import process ?
Regards,
Javier.

Sorry if I couldn't explain correctly. English is not my main language...
I know you can assign names to the existing colors label and create different sets. I just create my own set.
What I'm refering to is to the Label field that is part of the basic IPTC data into a metadata preset. I'm not sure if it's the same field that is used to assign color labels.
What I did was to create a metadata preset, assign the word "red" as the value of the IPTC Label field and then apply this preset into an import. All the pics were imported with the red label set, so yes, it is possible to do the import and set the color label. The problem is that you can't use the filters that are into the filmstring view. So there is some mismatch here: the red color is shown at the bottom of the pics imported, but the filmstring filters can't "see" that the pics have this color label assigned.

Problem Importing photos from Canon Rebel XTi -- Iphoto '08

When I plug in USB cord to camera and MacBook, then turn on my Canon Rebel XTi, iPhoto opens up but will not read the CF card. The status light on the camera just blinks red as if it working on it but it never does show the photos in iPhoto08 and the camera doesn't show up on the sidebar either although it used to but doesn't anymore.
I know that my CF card is ok because when I use it in my Canon Powershot S400 it works fine, and I'm able to import photos fine.
Help please?

Thanks, I'm fairly certain that WILL work since the card works with iPhoto in my other camera fine.
I don't have a card reader and I'd like to figure out how to fix the problem I have with my Rebel XTi. Any suggestions on that?

Importing photos with Aperture?

I was able to import photos from my iPhone into Aperture on the first try, but now every time I plug in the phone, Aperture claims that there aren't any photos on the iPhone to import.
I also tried importing with Image Capture, and it doesn't see any photos either. Any ideas? I know the photos are on the phone and haven't been imported yet. My iPhone did crash once when taking a picture, so maybe that corrupted something?
Anyone else have any issues like this?

Interesting, I finally came up with a solution. Here's the order of events:
1. Plug in iPhone and open iTunes (or have it already open).
2. Open Image Capture or Aperture and attempt to import photos - it will claim that there aren't any photos to import.
3. Eject iPhone from iTunes.
4. Both Aperture and Image Capture still claim 0 pictures it import.
5. Take a picture on the iPhone.
6. Now both Image Capture and Aperture can see all the pictures you've taken on the iPhone.
7. Unplug and re-plug the USB cable so iTunes sees the iPhone again.
8. Now Image Capture and Aperture won't be able to see the photos again - repeat previous steps to make the photos visible again.
This seems like a *bug* to me.

Problem importing photos from camera to Lightroom

I have Creative Cloud for Photographers, it´s installed on my iMac and my MacBook Air. I use Lightroom to import photos from the camera. A few days ago I wanted to import some photos to the MacBook, but after a while everything stopped, no photos were imported and after waiting quite some time I gave up. Tried again after a while but then got the message that the files couldn´t be read. It worried me a lot as I was afraid the memory card might have got damaged, but I tried to import the photos to the iMac instead and it was no problem. After that I have tried to import other photos from various cameras to the MacBook, but nothing works. To the iMac - no problem. I then tried to uninstall Lightroom, but it was not possible. In the Creative Cloud-app It is possible to uninstall Photoshop, no problem, but with Lightroom it says "cannot be uninstalled" - on both the iMac and the MacBook.
Since I will be traveling a lot in just a few days, it´s essential to have a Lightroom that works on my MacBook. I usually import photos from the camera several times a day, so without a LR that works, things will be much more difficult…
Any help will be much appreciated!

As I am not a Mac person, I cannot explain how to change permissions, but I'm sure your favorite search engine will find the instructions.
Sometimes, the destination folder where Lightroom writes the photos to has accidentally changed, and now you are pointing to a different fodler that doesn't have the proper permissions.

Problem importing photos from iphone3G via Adobe Photoshop Elements v7.0

I have adobe elements v7.0 and an iPhone 3g running the new release
iPhone OS.
When I connect the iPhone to upload the photos I have taken on it into
pe7 the import photos dialog box opens and then shows how many photos
are there to import. But each thumbnail is blank and I get an error
message that finally crashes pe7 without importing the photos.
The same thing happens if I have pe7 open and choose to import photos
choosing the iPhone as the attached device from the drop down list
This problem has started since I downloaded the new iPhone OS 3.0 - before then the import into Elements 7.0 worked fine
Is anyone aware of this bug and a way of fixing it?

I, too, have experienced the same problem - but without full resolution. I chose to have PE7 automatically download the photos from the phone upon connection/syncing and have continued to experience the "fatal error" message. Even though I cancel the action when the "fatal error" show up (and the phone syncs without further problem), I believe that the conflict messes up something within the iPhone system. For the 5th time (and 3rd phone in 2 months), it appears that every time I try to use the camera shortly after receiving the "fatal" error problem, the phone ceases to work. It works just fine as long as I don't open the camera program. So - I am now trying to figure out how to get the computer(PC)/PE7 to not automatically download pictures upon connection and see if my suspicions are accurate. Any suggestions on that question are appreciated!
