Problem Importing to Aperture from iPhoto

I have already imported the entire iPhoto Library to Aperture, but several images are missing. I now want to import the missing images from iPhoto to Aperture. The Aperture Manual states that, in Aperture, I should be able to open the iPhoto Browser by using File>Import>iPhoto Browser, but when I go File>Import I do not get the iPhoto Browser option. How can I select specific images in iPhoto to import into Aperture?

The Aperture Manual states that, in Aperture, I should be able to open the iPhoto Browser by using File>Import>iPhoto Browser, but when I go File>Import I do not get the iPhoto Browser option.
Some parts of the manual need updating. The iPhoto browser has been discontinued, when the unified Aperture-iPhoto library has been introduced.
If you want to import selectively from iPhoto, open your iPhoto library in Aperture and create an album;
add the images you want to use in Aperture to that album
then select the album in the Info panel and export this album as a new Aperture library. File > Export > Album as library.
Switch to your main Aperture library (File > Switcch to Library) and import the small library with the iPhoto album.

Léonie
Added: You could also simply open iPhoto on the iPhoto Library and Aperture on the main Aperture library and drag the photos you want from the iPhoto window to a project in Aperture. But that will only give you the current jpeg versions, not the original files as well.

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 into Aperture v3.0

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 v9.4.3 into Aperture v3.0. When I select import I get a message saying Aperture cannot import libraries from version earlier that iphoto 7.1.5 and tells me to upgrade to a lter version of iphoto. Advice ?

I am on MAC OS X Version 10.8.5
Is Aperture 3.0 still correct or have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5? Only Aperture 3.4.5 can import iPhoto 9.4.3 libraries.
As I said above, you can download the updater for Aperture here:
Use this link: Aperture 3.4.5

When I imported my photos from iPhoto to Aperture, I appear to have lost all my keywords. Can I retrieve them and, if so, how?

How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

How to import Originals only from iPhoto?

Hello! I'm thinking about to switch from iPhoto to Aperture.
I'd like to import only the "originals" from iPhoto 08, let all the modified files alone, just to kind of start from scratch with post processing afterwards if needed (this is a) to avoid the doubled files, b) to get better pictures because of better software and knowledge).
I read alot in this forum - wow, thanks for all the shared wisdom! I did not find the answer to my question.
One more question: Can I import the "events" from iPhoto so, that they stay sorted the same way??
Thanks for any help!
Don

As a workaround I set all pictures in iPhoto back to original, then imported the whole library. So far for me the question is answered

Hi, I have problems in ordering book from iPhoto. It says "problems in getting contact with Apple Online Store" I have changed password on my Apple ID - could that be the problem ??

Some additional efforts you can try:
Go to the System/Sharing preference pane and make sure Remote Apple Events is checked.
If it is, uncheck it and then recheck and try ordering again.

Short Slo Mo video imported to Aperture or iPhoto via cable (Air Drop not supported on my iMac): only the SloMo section imports. Not the rest. Any fixes?

Okay, as I'm working through this I see that I have to add the "Admin" account to each file with "read only" permission. Simply changing the "everyone" account access does nothing.
So how do I change the permissions settings in iPhoto or Aperture to give each exported file the desired permissions? I cannot locate a setting in the iPhoto or Aperture applications.
Also, I added a password to the user account. It did not change how files are output.

, how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

how do I import a book from Iphoto on my old computerPower book G4 to my new MacBook pro?

I just tried to move my old iPhoto Library from the G4 to a new Macbook. The G4 and files were very old, from 2001.
When I opened Iphoto for the first time, it said it needed to "upgrade" the library", so I selected OK. It gave a message that this could take an hour or longer with a lot of photos -- I have around 9,000 stored so I figured it would take awhile.
It finished in about 3 minutes, but there were no photos or albums to be found.
I checked on the drive and iPhoto has converted the old library files and photo files to a "package" called "iphoto library" that has no file extension.
If I show package contents, I can see a whole raft of new files, folders etc. I can see a file in there called "library6.iphoto" Some folders appear to be organized by years, if I dig down in the folders, all the photos appear to still be present. The general size of the "package" file is almost identical to the old folder, around 25.3 megabytes, so it seems all the photos and information is there, but its just not reading it.
Now IPhoto still says " to begin, connect a camera, drag photos to iPhoto, or import a file.....
I downloaded the "library manager" file and pointed it at the "iphoto library" file but it does not even see it.
Grrr... what can I do to recover this.

Can't import some photos from iPhoto to iPad

I can't import some jpg from iPhoto to iPad. It gives me an error message that the photo can't be displayed on an iPad. There also doesn't seem to be a way to reformat them in iPhoto. They are just jpegs downloaded from a digital camera.

Deleting the photo cache from the computer and then re-trying the photo sync has worked for some people - the location of the cache, and how to delete it, is described on this page

Problem importing into FCPX from SD card

Hi, I'm having a problem importing some videos from a micro SD card into FCPX. It is some helmet camera footage shot at 720P @ 30fps. It's a .mov file.
My problem is when I go to the "import media" window, I can see the files on the import screen. I can also skim and play the files before they are imported. The first time I tried to import them, I got an error message (which I unfortunately didn't write down). After I clicked "OK" on the error message, I could still see the file thumbnail, but if I hovered my mouse over it, the thumbnail turned black. I then restarted FCPX, and tried again. I found that I could still see, skim, and play the file, but when I choose to "import selected" the little pie shaped downloading icon doesn't appear anymore and the file doesn't attempt to import.
Should I go to Disk Utility and do a "Verfiy Disk" and "Repair Disk" (if necessary) or might I permanantly delete the corrupted file if I "fix" it by repairing the disk?
I have a screenshot of the import screen if needed, but the resolution is terrible. I'll need to take another one if it would be beneficial to see it.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Glen

A screen shot would be good..
If you have mulltple files and you know which one is a problem, select just the others and import them.
Try copying the entire card to your HD and seeing whether it will import from your computer.

What did you rent the film on, your iPad or your Mac ? If you rented it on your iPad then it should have downloaded into the Videos app on it (you should get a rentals tab in the app). If you rented it on your Mac then it should be in the Movies part of your Mac's iTunes library, you will have to connect your iPad to your Mac's iTunes and move it from your Mac to your iPad (I think that it should show on the iPad's Movies tab for moving)

How do i import video clips from iphoto to iMovie

how do i import video clips from iPhoto to iMovie

I've found dragging & dropping onto desktop & then drag & drop into iMovie works okay

I don't want to import video clips from iPhoto!

iMovie automatically imports video clips from iPhoto, and I don't need or want this to be done. I don't want to delete or move those clips from iPhoto, so is there a way to prevent the automatic transfer?

Go to your Hotmail account on the web (NOT in mail), make a new folder (or folders) for the mail you want to keep and move the messages into it.
Mail (and all other email clients) will download all messages in the inbox unless previously downloaded. That means downloaded with the client you are attaching now.
Until that is done do not setup the account in mail.
