Problems with importing files from iPhoto to Aperture3?

I have just received my new iMac with Aperture3 pre-installed.
When I try to import the iPhoto Library (File - Import - iPhoto Library..) or try to import a single picture, the picture shows pixilated in Aperture3. When I try to import the iPhoto Library - Aperture shows one pixilated picture from the folder and then it works forever trying to get thumbnails for the rest.
Nothing happens.
What can I do?
The format for the pictures are jpg.

But this iPhoto Library came from somewhere else? Right? From another machine? So, how did those photos get into that iPhoto Library? Did you import one Library to another? I ask as this is one of the ways you could find yourself working with thumbnails and not the actual images.

  • Problem with import files from windows media player into iTunes

    When I have tried to import my .wav lossless files created under windows media player into iTunes I use File, add folder to library but when the action is completed I get all of the files under the heading 'unknown album' with 'unknown artist'.
    Does anyone know that I need to do in order to include the artist and album ?
    Many thanks,
    John.

    You'll first need to add the MP3s to your iTunes library since the iPod is not compatible with Windows Media Player. You can use, for example, the File > Add to Library menu to do this.

  • Problem with NEF files from Nikon D4

    Hi everyone. I find a problem with nef files from my Nikon D4. When files are open in ViewNX2 (free viewer software from Nikon) they are perfect, as shooted... but in ACR they are very different... I use LR4 or CS5 with ACR 6.7 and the difference seems to be linked at D-Lighting function. My impression is that ACR dont read this option and picture are very very dark that original shootings. Anyone have this problem?

    This question used to be answered in the FAQ before they revised it.  So, here we go again.  ViewNX is capable of reading all of the in-camera settings such as, camera profile, saturation, sharpness and other settings.  It is capable of doing this because it is Nikon Software, and they have the ability to program it to read the settings from their raw images.  Lightroom does not read those settings from Nikon cameras or any other brand of camera.  Part of the reason is that different camera makers store those settings differently.
    When I first started using Lightroom I adjusted one of my images that represented what I normally shoot until it looked the way I wanted it.  Then I saved those adjustments as my default settings for the camera.  From that point onward, whenever I import images those settings are automatically applied, and it takes care of the vast majority of my images.  Of course, I still have to make individual adjustments.  But my default settings greatly reduce the amount of how they work that I have to do.
    Active D-lighting is is one of those features that Lightroom does not recognize.  You would be well advised not to use it, or else create a preset to simulate its effect.  It will provide no benefit to your Lightroom work.
    This is a fundamental difference with Lightroom, and something that must be understood and implemented if you are going to use the program effectively.
    I realize this question was asked in the ACR forum and I referenced Lightroom throughout.  But the principle is the same, and the recommended procedure is the same.

  • Problem with import file type setting

    Problem with import file type settings - In preferences>general I select "wav encoder" But then going to tools>Create it still says "create mp3 version".
    Can't find a way to overcome this. Thanks for any help.

    Doublechecking, roy. After making the preferences change, are you leaving the General tab by clicking the OK button down the bottom-right-hand corner of the tab?

  • Problem with imported text from quark

    Hi everyone
    I have imported files from quark version 4 off a mac to Indesign cs4 on a windows PC. everything is fine apart from the text being a little messed up so i am happy enough with that. The problem is that when i drag and drop or copy and paste into a new document all the images will move over but new text will not work with the images.
    By this i mean that when i try to type something over or near the graphics the graphics just vanish! you can drag them over the image and they vanish, then when you drag them away again them reappear!
    Also the shapes that i move over have a thin white border on them where as the shapes that i create directly do not have this boarder.
    Any help that you cold give me on this would be great!
    Thanks in advance!!
    Sam

    Thats it thank you!
    There was a text wrap applied to all the graphics. its working perfectly now!!
    Thank you again!!!

    venkiTo move data between 8i and 11g, you need to use original export/import utility.
    You need to run export of 8i using 8i version exp and import the dump file into 11g database using 11g version imp.

  • IPhoto version 9.4.1 problem with imported photos from camera card reader

    My wife imported a lot of photos from a camera card reader.  The  imports show up fine when she launches iPhoto, but when you double click on one, nothing happens.  It doesn't go to full size.  It just doesn't respond for any of the pictures imported.  The rest of her pictures behave normally....when clicked on they enlarge just not the ones recently imported.  I did a repair disk permissions and no luck there.  What can we do to these pictures to make them behave normally when selected and double clicked?

    Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder Window should open with the file selected. Does it?

  • I created a new Lightroom catalog for iPhone photos. After importing files from iPhoto photos are randomly popping up and deleting other photos! Is this a virus? A bug? A corrupt catalog? How do I fix it? I just installed 5.6 and that didn't resolve it.

    I updated my computer software...I don't know what else to do and I can't find any information about this online.
    Please help! Thanks.

    Geoff  for a few years I used iPhoto for my iPhone files.
    Now that I am not using iPhoto any longer I attempted to move my old iPhoto phone files into my Lightroom iPhone catalog.
    A couple possibilities are that:
    1) There was a problem with the export/import from iPhoto to Lightroom. I've been reading up on how to do it correctly...
    One article said to make a copy of the master catalog in iPhoto, export it and then import it into Lightroom. This is what I did.
    I read another article that said exporting as Original from iPhoto and then importing into LR also worked so I did that with another iPhone catalog from my laptop.
    2) Maybe it's a file name situation? Perhaps the phone rolled over and there are old and new files with the same names.
    The strange thing about that is that older photos are popping up and replacing/deleting newer ones.
    I would think the newer files would replace older ones if that was the case.
    Any thoughts? Suggestions? Thanks.

  • How to import photobooks from iphoto into aperture3

    Hello,
    when importing the iphoto library into aperture3 all photobooks or calendars are not imported. Instead, they show up as pictures in a folder.
    Have I forgotten something or does this simply not work with the iphoto to aperture3 import? Is there any way around this (e.g. some kind of calendar export from iphoto with separate import to aperture 3)? Is there any plug in that can solve the problem?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    iMovie 8 accepts video in MPEG4, DV and MOV formats. If your video clips are from a still camera that records in another format, you will have to first convert the videos before iMovie 8 will recognize them. You can use MPEG Streamclip to do this. You may be able to batch convert clips; I have not done this and have converted them one at a time.
    Just drag the clip from iPhoto onto the MPEG Streamclip window and select to convert it to one of the above formats; save the new clip, then put it into iMovie.

  • Problem with imported movies from Sony Cyber Shot

    Hello all, I have an unusal problem.
    My mate has got a brand new sony cybershot camera which does movies.
    These movies import into iPhoto no problem with sound.
    However if I then use that clip in iMovie there is no sound, it does not matter how I try to import. I have tried importing direct from the sony card, from the import menu and from dragging. Still no dice.
    What should be the next step?
    Its iMovie HD and 10.4.4

    Hi Gary
    get for 20$ the Apple mpeg2 plugin
    and for free the tool Streamclip

  • Problem with importing videos from Aperture

    I was able to import videos from Aperture within FCPX.  However, when I tried to import some older videos, the following error message appeared:
    "No importable files
    None of the selected files or folders can be imported.  Change the selection and try again."
    I noticed that all the video files older than about three months didn't work, and all the newer files worked, regardless what camera it was from (D800, iPhone, m4/3 camera)
    I opened up the aperture library package and compared the permission for one video file that I could import, and one that I couldn't.  They have the same permissions, so it isn't a permission issue.  I tried exporting the problem video from Aperture and importing it into FCPX, and it accepted it.
    The other thing I've noticed that is for the files that I imported from Aperture library, the video files in the Original Media folder are only around 250 KB.  It seems that they are only aliases.  All the more reason I need to find a way to drag videos from Aperture into FCPX, as the files aren't duplicated.
    Does anybody know a solution to this problem?
    Thanks a lot!

    Aperture drag'n'drop export only creates reference movies (which can break!)
    Background of your issue:
    If you simply drag your video file(s) from the Aperture window to the Desktop (in my case a MP4 from my Galaxy Nexus, the original having 70 MB), Aperture does not copy the master or the version file, but instead it creates a reference movie file, which is a very small video container file (in my case: MP4, 26 KB) with no AV-content but only a reference to your master video file in your Aperture library, ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary/Masters/YYYY/MM/DD/YYYYMMDD-hhmmss/filename.
    So by principle it acts like an "alias", but technically it is not a filesystem alias (filepath, ID within filesystem (inode), metadata), but a so called reference movie. If you meanwhile deleted/manipulated the master file from the Aperture Library, or changed something from the filepath (volume name, home directory name, etc) import in Final Cut Pro will fail of course, as it loads a mere reference movie, and fails to load the AV-content, as the master movie file cannot be found at the given filepath anymore.
    Solution 1 (for the "tidy" users):
    Make sure the filepath to your Aperture Library does not change (volume name, user name, custom library name), and hopefully Apple does not change their Aperture Library filepath scheme in future updates. Then the reference movie will remain pointing to a valid master file.
    Solution 2:
    In Aperture, select the file(s)
    File > Export Master (CMD-SHIFT-S)
    Save file(s) to your desired destination
    Import them into within Final Cut Pro
    Of course this creates unnecessary duplicate content, which is specially painful with video files, which tend to be large.
    Solution 3 (advanced users):
    Locate the master file (within the Aperture Library.aplibrary bundle) and import that in Final Cut Pro.
    The import dialogue of many Mac OS X apps does not allow browsing into bundles.
    A possible work around is to open the bundle in Finder (right click > Show package contents), locate the file, and then drag'n'drop it onto the import dialogue of Final Cut Pro.

  • Reoccuring HANGING problem with transferring files from old MACBOOK

    ok, so I recently bought a iMac and i wanted to transfer my music and photo files from my older (waterdamaged a while back but still works fine) macbook. I've tried basically every method to try and get this done.
    I've tried migration assistant, transferring the files through a shared wireless network, through firewire/disk target mode, but all of those methods i tried resulted in hanging very early on in the transferring and copying operation.
    I believe it must have something to do with my macbook's hard drive, but i have no idea what to do at this point. Could someone please help me?

    the thing is tho, the hard drive had no problems copying and transferring for over a year after the damage, while i continued to use it. I don't a reason why it wouldn't work now when i finally want to move a larger number of files at once (itunes music folder, iphoto library)

  • Problems with Calendar order from iPhoto

    I've tried twice to create a calendar out of iphoto and I've gotten a response via email after several days that there was a problem with the order:
    Apple discovered an issue with the file you submitted. It appears the
    calendar has small month names. As a result, Apple is unable to process
    your order and you will not be charged.
    We recommend updating your software, changing the theme on your print
    product, then changing it back to the original theme.
    Once completed, preview your print product in iPhoto, and place the
    order again.

    There are no updates for my OS or iPhoto. I changed themes and went back to the original (and had to rebuild it all over again, grrrr). Any ideas what could be causing this?
    So much for getting these for Christmas presents. Thanks!

    Dear Martha,
    I had the same problem, and this bug in iPhoto cost me my yearly christmas presents for all of our families (grandparents, aunts, uncles etc.)
    By digging through this forum, I found the solution that actually worked for me.
    But I will not order the calendars from Apple because they cancelled the calendars three times without telling me what the problem was, and endless and numerous calls with different support people at Apple gave no solution.
    I will now export PDFs and send them to a different service.
    Maybe in your case there is another project.db file?
    Sometimes, when iPhoto rebuilds databases, it seems that it creates a second one.
    (I read it here somewhere in the forum - so I hope this could be a good hint to follow)
    All the best,
    Martin
