Problem with iPhoto pictures imported into Aperture 3

I recently put together few thousand pictures I had in iPhoto with several other thousands I had on Aperture 3.
I just realized the pictures I imported from iPhoto have all a litle exclamation mark with an arrow just like this:
When I try to export any of these images, or create a book, or email them it gives me an error message just like this:
When I imported the pictures, I drag them into Aperture. Not sure what happened and why the original files were not imported as well.
Can anyone help? Thx!

This looks like your iPhoto Library may have been a referenced library - check, if the iPhoto preferences "Advanced" settings are set to "Importing: Copy items into the iPhoto Library". If this option has been unchecked, when you imported to iPhoto, your iPhoto Library references the images and does not include them. And if you import a referenced library to Aperture these images also will be referenced in Aperture.
How exactly did you import from iPhoto to aperture, and what are your iPhoto and Aperture versions? Where are the libraries located that you importet? On an external volume?
Try, if the links become active, when you connect the external volume again.

Problem with iPhoto 7 import

Hi,
I find a big problem with iPhoto 7 and import !
I made 53 scan of photos in 1200dpi, modified, cleaned and saved them in jpeg files (1mo to 2mo by photo)
all are in the same folder and some are in grayscale other in colors.
When I want to import (with copying or not) them in iPhoto 7 (already updated) 15 of 53 have not small photo in event they are black, and when I zoom on them they are bug.
It is only in iPhoto.
If I share this event in iMovie small photo is black but if I move this photo in my iMovie project Photo is good...
Then it is really a big problem because I can't use iPhoto for my albums, cards, ...
Have you a solution?
Regards,

all my photos are in jpeg in high resolution
It is very important because if we want to produce an album we must send a high resolution, but they are only 1mo to 2mo by photo not 35mo...
iPhoto not import grayscale? ...
I you produce in RGB photos are biggers...
It is really a bad news
The problem I have some colors photos with this bug...

Problem with m2t clip import into AE CS3

I have footage that I need to use AE to stabilize, but something odd is happening on import. The footage is 24p/1080 HDV shot on a Canon XH-A1s, and I'm importing the native .m2t files into AE CS3. I have the AE project settings on 24 fps, but when I import the m2t clips, they shift to 44.96 fps for no apparent reason.
If I open up the Interpret Footage box for the imported clip, it's clear that AE *thinks* the footage is 44.96 fps. When I then change the frame rate to 24 fps in the Interpret Footage box, it still doesn't get it quite right (e.g., a shot that is exactly 15s00f long now reads as 14s22f).
I tried using 23.976 fps as the footage intepretation, but it didn't make a difference...not that I thought it would.
Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance,
Stu

You need to convert that m2t footage to a different codec. AE 9 can't handle that kind of footage.
Since I'm a Mac guy, I like to go with Quicktime's PNG codec: it's lossless.

Migrating iphoto 9 with duplicate misplace FACES into Aperture 3

After importing my iphoto library all the originals and modified photos are changed into stacks. The program creates faces for both the modified and the original image. The huge problem is that if my modified image was cropped all the face rectangles are shifted. Thus not only do i get duplicate faces and unneeded photos but the duplicate faces are not even correctly labeled.

Allan,
When you import the default will probably be to store the photos in Aperture's library. This will make a copy of your photos and is called "Managed masters" in Aperture. As long as this what happens when you import, you will then definitely have 2 of each photo that you imported. It's not going to duplicate your iPhoto library per se (the library is a database that contains all the pictures and other goodies). Rather, it will copy each photo from your iPhoto library into a new library (the Aperture one).
You can also have Aperture use "Referenced" masters, by doing what gordonbmac indicated. In this case, Aperture does not manage the location of your masters. They will be wherever iPhoto has them. This may or may not be good depending on what you are going to do with your iPhoto library after. I.e., if you play with iPhoto and rearrange things, Aperture doesn't know that you moved the masters that it points to. It may mean that you will have to keep your iPhoto library around because Aperture is pointing to photos in it.
Your plan to move the iPhoto library to an external hard drive is exactly what I did when I imported my iPhoto library into Aperture. I kept it around for quite a while until I was satisfied that I didn't accidentally leave something in there that I didn't import into Aperture.

Strange importing problem with iPhoto 11

After upgrading to iPhoto 11, I find that I can no longer import photos into iPhoto successfully. The photos show up properly, one by one, as the import progresses, but upon completion, the import shows up as blank outlines. At first I thought that the cause might be that I was importing corrupted files, but I find that I can't import any photos at all, either from my camera or from pre-existing folders on my computer.
The problem is complicated by the fact that I'm using a new Mac Pro, my original one having died last week. But I've checked all disk, folder, and file permissions, and everything should be OK. My wife's computer with iPhoto 08 imports without problems (we're both running 10.6.6).
Has anyone else been having this problem? If so, what did you do to fix it?

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. Include the options to rebuild the thumbnails.

Hello,having a problem with Logic 9 on a Mac Pro.Working on a lenghty song and apparently session got corrupted.Doesnt let me export tracks,program crashes.Already tried start brand new session with the tracks imported into it but still wont export.Suggestions?

Thanks, Ian. Yeah, that's how I do it now...or with the controls in the left side pane. Still, I would have liked that quick on-the-spot edit capability...especially while sketching.

Sorry Mark, you are out of luck as it does not do that - it works the same as L8. The way I would achieve that with more accuracy and control would be to route all the tracks you want to fade to a Bus then use volume automation on the bus. To do this you will need to add a standard audio track, then re-assign it using (Control Click on the track header) to the Bus track. You can then automate volume/plugins etc on the Bus track.

Problem with iPhoto 9.3.2: Any assistance or how to re-install?

Hi all,
I've got a problem with iPhoto 9.3.2 whereby upon startup, I get a spinning wheel which goes on forever (I've left the computer alone for 5 hrs and coming back, it's still spinning). Symptoms are it pulls up the Library with Events, Photos, Faces, even Albums. But I don't actually get any photos displayed on the right.
I've tried :-
1) reinstalling Mountain Lion
2) using Disk Utility Repair Permissions
3) Rebuilding thumbnails & library
4) Creating new library
5) starting up under a new user account (therefore not a problem with a config file in my homedir)
6) Starting iPhoto up in Safe Mode
Note during the spinning wheel, I can access the menu as such I can quit, import photos, etc.
It actually works (worked) under the following conditions :-
a) Until 31st July iPhoto 9.3.2 was working fine. I cannot remember what I did/installed/uninstalled/changed/deleted to cause it to have problems
b) I can get access to the very same library with Aperture with no problems at all (i.e. no library issues)
c) Photos will only display if I import a picture. Then all Events will appear. I can get into each event, I can even select the photo I imported and delete it. This is my current workaround to accessing photos in iPhoto. However I cannot switch to any of the albums I created. It will only display Events. Clicking on Photos, Faces, Places, and any of the Recent doesn't do anything.
So finally now is to try to re-install iPhoto 9.3.2. Can any one please let me know how I can do this? I've tried Option-Click on Purchases tab in the App Store but I get a greyed out INSTALLED in iPhoto. Similarly I found a link that provided the iPhoto9.3.2Update.dmg but in attempting to installing that, it tells me it can only be done via the App Store.
Any advice?
Cheers

@putnik, yes I believe the update came from that site.
@mende1, perfect! That was easy! I thought I had to clean out plist files from my home directory, etc. Upon deletion and reinstallation, iPhoto started working again!
Thank you so much!

Sync problems with iPhoto (Last iTunes & iPhoto & iOS)

     Some people have problems to with the music sync but anyone has the same problem but with the photos? iTunes doesn´t count the number of photos that suposse to be listed when you select your album on itunes/device/photos... I have once the problem with the music but it cames right after delete and resync my playlists.
     Thnks!
     Tested on iPhone 5 and iPad2 Mavericks iTunes 11.1.2 and iOS 7.0.3 Same problem with iPhoto 9.4.3 and 9.5."

I have the same issue - iTunes 11.1.2, iOS 7.0.3, Mac OS X Mavericks, iMac 2011, iPhone 5S - Aperture 3.5 and iPhoto 9.5 - iTunes does not sync pictures (not even counts them) between my iPhone 5S and either one of the programs. When I select iPhoto, it even shows information of a library I am not opening with iPhoto anymore.
I have resorted for the time being, waiting for a bug fix, to copy what I am interested in, into a folder and sync from it - that at least works.
Moreover, contrary to what said here in other threads, I can Wi-fi sync my iPhone 5S and iPad 2 to iTunes 11.1.2.
And, about all the complaints of iTunes not showing the "Info" tab anymore, Mac OS X now supports natively more types of accounts (Gmail, Yahoo, Twitter, Facebook, AOL, etc.). Everything can still be also set up manually in any case - so I don't understand what everybody is bragging about - you can avoid using iCloud, if so one wishes.

I am using iPhoto 11 and my library has 736.5mb on disk. I have problems with iPhoto stalling and needing to force quit. I have rebuilt my library. Can you suggest anything else?

Make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
Click to view full size
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
NOTE 2: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
If that does'nt help log into another user account on your Mac and try iPhoto from there.

Problem with displaying picture.

I use PS-CC and LR5.on a HP i7 computer and windows 7.Camera D-800, pictures in raw.
I usually import pictures in nef in LR5,. After some corrections, I export my pictures to DNG format. I sometimes do a little bit of work in camera raw then go into Photoshop.
My problem: When in photoshop, I get a grainy version of my photo which wasn't the situation in LR5 or Camera raw, Hard to work with. The grains will disappear when I enlarge the picture but then I have to enlarge it so much that I only see or can work with only part of my picture. The problem does not appear in CS6.
Hope somebody can help me.
Thanks
Jacques Legault

I should clarify this.. When I import photos into LR5, I always use copy as
DNG. I know that NEF and DNG are the same for photoshop and I always shoot
in raw.
One thing I do not know is how to do a screen shot. I will get back tro you
on that. When I say grain, or noise if you like, I mean that, if i relate
to films, my picture in LR5 would be at ISO 100 and my screen shot in
photoshop would look like it was boosted to 1200 or worse.
See you soon I hope with a screen shot.

Problems with iPhoto 7.1

Hope someone may help me with this. I just downloaded the iLife update and the new iPhoto 7.1 (and of course Gargeband etc.) and by opening iPhoto it does load the library, but then some menu functions do not work. Preferences does not open, the slideshow button does not work. It only shows the busy icon and I'll have to do a force stop. The message reads: 'iPhoto not reponding'. Before the update I never had problems with iPhoto.
Thanks! Edward from the Netherlands

Edward:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. The slideshow button will work but it's very, very, very slow. Try again and let it sit for a while. It sometimes takes up to 30 seconds to open fully. It's the same with the Preferences. The latest update has made it slow to open the first time. After that it seemed to work OK for me. Be sure to post your problems at http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html. The more reports the better.
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. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. 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.

Yesterday I had the same problem with itunes: I downloaded the last version (it's free), but I cannot do the same with iphoto, and more important: I need to know what is happening!!! Please help me!

Applications should not disappear all by themselves.
If they are then that coud indicate serious problems with your hard drive.
Backup everything up as quickly as possible.
Using Disk Utility verify your system disk.

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

I am having problems using mov files imported into a project. I get the message "Not rendered" in the Canvas and clip won't play. Can anyone help?

When clips won't play without rendering in the Timeline, it usually means that the clip's specs don't match the Sequence settings.
A .mov file could be made from any number of codecs; the QuickTime Movie designation is merely a container for video files of all kinds. Since FCE only works with the QuickTime DV codec and the Apple Intermediate Codec (AIC) natively, if your mov files aren't one of those two, you need to convert them PRIOR to importing into your FCE project.

Photostream - do you automatically import into Aperture?

Interested to hear from some advanced and pro Aperture users as to whether or not you have your Photostream automatically import into Aperture, I've done this without putting much thought into it but its led to having many unneccessary photos in my library, plus I import my iPhone photos manually from time to time (paranoid Photostream has missed some I guess). Thanks.

So should I be assured that no matter what all photos I take on my iPhone are automatically imported and hence I can stop manually importing them from time to time and hence causing more duplicates etc?
I am not sure, if I understand your concern correctly.
When you are taking photos with your iPhone, they will upload to the photo stream and be stored in iCloud. But you have plenty of time, befor ethey will upload. Photo Stream will only start the upload, when the iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi, when the battery is properly charged, and when the camera.app is closed.
Your mac will import the photos only once. when you import from the iPhone and the photos have already been downloaded from the stream, they will not show in the Import panel.

Problem with iPhoto 9.2.1 update to a higher version.

Hi, I have a problem with iPhoto 9.2.1 update to a higher version. I tried to install version 9.2.3 and version 9.2.2 and each time the installer returns the message that must have version 9.1.0. Both the update downloaded from Apple.

How old is your Mac? If it's very recent you need to update via the App Store
If you purchased at the App Store you need to update via the App Store
Otherwise you update via Softare Update
If you have moved iPhoto from the default location (i.e. into a Folder) then the updater won't find it. Move it back.
If you have renamed iPhoto, the updater won't find it. Change it back.
