Somehow one of my Aperture's Project shows all my 52000 photos

Hi there,
At the first time I imported this Project had about 2000 photos. But somehow when I came back to it after weeks, this Project shows 52000 photos in this Project. I found out that is all the photos into my all projects.
I thought they were duplicated photos. But when I delete some photos in this troublesome Project, that photos in the right project was gone too. It seems to me that this problem Project links all the photos to it. When I import any new photos into another named album, the problem Project also got the newly imported linked to it. Very annoying indeed.
It is strange that when I go to 'Filter' and select 'Show all'. There is no photos displayed in this Project whereas the normal projects do show photos. Again when I did the right click at that Project and select 'Show Project Info' and are 2000 photos as it should be. But I do not know why it appears all my 52000 photos in the Project.
FYI - I am on iMac with OSX 10.8.4 and Aperture 3.4.5. I has been using Aperture for 3 years and it just happened lately.
I think it happened when I upgraded it to the latest version.
Could anyone please help and advise ?
Best regards,

Hi Leonie,
Thank you very much for responding. It is strange right ? I do have back up but it's gonna take my a lot of time checking. I have two iMac and many projects are still in my old iMac.
Please my screenshots with my note below.
In my first screenshot, you are looking at all the projects at the left. Every photos on those projects are linked to the Project circled in pink.
I tried cleaning my computer cache, switching on/off and also deleted that Project (the deleting time took a while as it was removing all of my photos. However, I reput it back from Trash when I saw it dragged all of my photos to Trash too).
Not sure this is normal or not. I think it's not because the normal projects shows what I put in the filtered box.

Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream.

Aperture is not showing all photos in photo stream. I have re-set photo stream from within the aperture app, but it only downloads a small fraction of my photo stream. Any ideas?

Sorry but you're wrong, as the article that you quoted pointed out
Since your Mac has more storage than your iOS devices, your photos automatically download and your Mac keeps every photo from your Photo Stream by default

Photos 1.0 not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary folder/file after update install

I installed the update that changed my iPhoto to Photos 1.0, and the new Photos program is not showing all images from Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder (not sure to call it file or folder since it is actually a folder with all my pics but it acts more like a file) after update install. The Photos Library.photoslibrary file/folder shows to be 55 gb in size, and it shows to be loaded into the photos program, but there are maybe a few weeks of pictures showing instead of a few years. Lots of pictures in the 55 gb are not showing for some reason.

No - iPhotos has not replaced anything - it is new and an addition - iPhoto is still on your system in the applications folder and still works just fine
Outlook is not supported by Photos - not sure if the support must come form Apple or MS as Photos uses a different interface to external packages than iphoto did

Apple TV doesn't show all pictures in photo stream

I have about 1000 pictures in my photo stream, but my Apple TV doesn't show all of them. It shows only 304 photos. How can I get all my photos to my Apple TV via photo stream? I have the latest Apple TV and the latest operating system on it.
Edit:
And I have tried to reset Apple Tv and photo stream.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Photostream in the cloud only keeps photos from the last 30 days (subject to a 1,000 photo limit). When photostream syncs the photos to your device they will stay there (subject to a 1,000 photo limit) until deleted, which means you may well have more photos in your photostream album on your device than there are in photostream in the cloud.
The consequence of this is that if you turn photostream off and on again on your device (or enable it for the first time), it will only be populated with photos from the last 30 days, which may not be all the photos that were previously in the photostream album on that device.

Albums in Aperture 3 not showing upon IPhone/IPad "Photos" App

Hello;
Some of the Albums I have on file in Aperture 3 are not showing up on my IPhone nor IPad in the "Photos" App.
Am I missing a setting?
Thanks Mark

What happens if you select the Photos icon in the Library tab of the Inspector?

Aperture does not show all the transition effects in slideshow

Hello,
I am making my first slideshow in Aperture since I thought it would be better than iphoto.
Finding it not as intuitive as I expected, have to say.
I want to control how each transition between the slides works, but when I get the inspector ( and even that wouldn't appear - I had to troubleshoot it, reboot and change the displays then set up a dummy slideshow to even get that to appear ) - there is only two options on each slide - default and selected slide, and even then I can only change the background colour and the "photo effect" to black and white - the options that show on the manual are not there.
I thought it might be because I was still using the Trial Version of Aperture, so I changed libraries and import the slideshow - only 1 photo appeared and still no options to change anything. Try again ... ok, now the photos are there but I have the same options as before - i.e. none. I tried to change the theme to Ken Burns and NOW the options appear, but does that mean you can only change the slideshow options in this theme and none of the others?
And I also can't figure out how to import a video onto the end of the photo slideshow ... When I have the slideshow screen up, there is no other option availabale ( that I can see ) to impot a video .. I'm starting to think imovie is the only way to do this?
Can anyone suggest anything ??
Thanks,
M

You'll want to check the status of the delivery - if it's waiting interfaces, you could have an inventory interface issue or possibly interface trip stop hasn't run. You can also check the workflow of the particular line to see what step is is stuck at.

Aperture no longer showing up in my "Photos" Upload Box

I just dowloaded the updated Aperture, and after doing so, I can't find my aperture library to upload anymore.
Before, I would select on "upload" and under the "Photos" category, the aperture option would appear. On websites it no longer does, I can only see it in my gmail. Can anyone help me? Just need some instructions on how to get this option back, as I only use aperture for my photos!
Thanks

Where is the map of the whole world showing ALL my geotagged photos in the new Photos app?

After "upgrading" from iPhoto to Photos, I cannot call up the world map to locate where I took pictures. Is this feature gone?
It used to be if you clicked on "places" in the iPhoto sidebar you got this map. All the photos in one's library were represented by red pins. Since I organize my photos by location more than anything else feature such as date, this is a critical feature for me. Is it gone or has it been buried somewhere else in the program. (And no, clicking on the location data in each of the "events" is not sufficient because it only shows the photos in that event.)
Also, how do you geotag data after you have taken a photo if it was geotagged in contemporaneously?

There is no upgrade - Photos is a new and totally different application - it does not have a map view and currently does not have any ability to add or modify locations - iPhoto still exists as it was before
Tell Apple what you want
In the meantime you have the option of continuing to use iPhoto (or Aperture) as before - they still work fine and will continue to until come OS upgrade breaks them - maybe with enough customer input Apple will even agree to continue to support them - worth a try

I recently purchased an iMac and used migration assistant to get all files from my emac, but now I have three user accounts. I only want one (perhaps two) accounts. I want all my music, photos and word docs from old computer in one user name

I recently purchased a mac and used a firewire to transfer my files onto my new imac with migration assistant. Now I have 3 users. I want one with all my main files (pictures, music, files from my old computer).
I don't mind having an additional "family" account so my younger daughter can't mess us things, but I can't figure out how to get files from one to the next and then delete the one user name.
Thanks,

In order to delete other accounts you must be logged into an admin account. You cannot delete the account into which you are currently logged.
When you started the new computer you were in the Setup Assistant. You created a new admin account before finishing the setup. You need to log into that account because it is an admin account. You can then delete the account you migrated from the old computer (and any other accounts you don't need or want.)
Then create a temporary new user account with admin status - name it, Temp. Log out of the current account and log into the new account, Temp. Now delete the initial account you created in Setup Assistant. You now have one account, Temp. Now re-migrate your data from the old computer. When that is completed log into the migrated account, which should be an admin account, and delete the temporary account, Temp.

My icloud is not showing all of my photos and either is my phone however its showing a HIGH GB usage, how do I recover those?

My phone is showing usage for photos but none of mine are appearing?

Go to your setting on the iPhone and iPad. You need to make sure that all settings in the mail, contacts, and calendar tab is all the same. You need to see which individual email account has turned on. Meaning if on your iPhone you have iCloud, gmail, and yahoo accounts. They will have the calendar tab on, if that is the case then we need to go to the iPad and have all the same toggles on and off. I can only think that is the issue right now. If everything is the same then let me know or repost and I'm sure someone will be able to figure it out.
Hope this helps.

HT1338 Lost all of my 4950 pics! My daughter said they were in the wrong file and threw them in the trash. It shows all thumbnails for photos but nothing? We can't seem to retrieve them? Anyone know how? THX

I'm not sure what to post in? So here goes. I'm a photographer and had 4950 pics edited and store on my mac. My daughter was setting up photo shop and she took iphoto and put it in the trash by accident. We tried retrieving it and nothing! It shows that all of the pics all still in iphoto and the thumbnails are there but no pics? Anyone know how to put these back? It took me over a year to edit these! I'm really freaking out! HELP PLEASE!!!!! THX

First locate the file with the name: iPhoto Library
Search on your Mac for it if need be using the Find command in the File menu.
When you find this file, hold down the control key and click on it, select Show Package Contents.
Look for a folder called Originals or Masters. That folder has the original photos.
The folder called Previews has the edited photos.
If your iPhoto database is damaged, you might in the worst case have to manually re-import these photos into a new library, but that's only a last resort. Don't move or change anything in the iPhoto Library for now.
If you found this iPhoto Library file, then you still have your actual photos. Now don't touch those photos or move anything. Close up the iPhoto Library window. Put the iPhoto Library back in your Pictures folder. Run iPhoto and hold down the option key. Select that iPhoto Library when requested to select the iPhoto Library. If that doesn't work, select "other" and navigate to that iPhoto Library and select it.
Let follks here know which of the above steps worked and which (if any) did not.

Aperture previews not showing up in media browser (and iweb)

some of my images in aperture projects do not show up in iweb or in the media browser at all....the projects are listed and most other project show all images, but some don't....
i tried several things including consistency check and rebuilding the entire library....nothing works....
this is very annoying...one of the few reasons (but a major one for me) to stick with aperture over LR is the system wide integration....but it has to work....

thanks for that info....i actually managed to fix it by rebuilding my previews.....but there was no reason at all for the previews not to show up....and it actually took 2 times to rebuild them all....some still did not show up after the first run....
i really hope we will see an upgrade soon....some things just have to be smoothed out....and a few added....

Solution to iPhoto spinning beach ball for Book projects with too many unplaced photos

A few days ago I discovered the solution to this problem for a client using iPhoto 9.5.1 in OS X Mavericks 10.9.4.
=====
TRIED ALL KNOWN SUGGESTIONS BUT NONE HELPED
My client had already tried repairing, rebuilding etc. the iPhoto Library, and I tried OS X's Disk Verify and Repair Permissions plus emptied the cache folder in system Library and in the hidden user Library folder (option-key "Go" menu, Library). None of this helped.
CLUE TO PROBLEM
I noticed several of her iPhoto Book projects each had thousands of "unplaced" photos. In each of those cases, each Book project only had 10-50 "placed" photos used to order the book but thousands of "unplaced" photos. In a Book project, clicking on the bottom-right corner's "Photo" icon-button caused an extremely long lasting spinning beach ball making iPhoto unusable for long periods.
I discovered the problem by clicking once on an existing Book project's name in the left column of iPhoto, then letting go of the mouse with its arrow cursor hovering over the selected Book project name. Within 1-7 seconds, a little pop-up appears listing the total number of photos (placed + unplaced) in that Book project. For many Book projects, the total number was just several more photos than the number of "placed" photos, e.g., a Book with 25 photos showed "(37)" in the pop-up info by the hovering stationary mouse, meaning 37 total photos (placed + unplaced) are associated with that Book project.
BUT...
...some projects listed over 5,000 (five thousand) photos associated with a single Book project that had only placed 20-40 photos in the final printed book. One Book project had 6,070 and several other small book projects showed over 1,000 photos. In each Book project with a mass of unplaced photos, clicking the bottom-right "Photo" icon-button caused a very long-lasting spinning beach ball, almost certainly because iPhoto struggled to build a huge list of thumbnails for the mass of unplaced photos.
My client didn't understand how to efficiently add photos to a new Book project and was clicking on the pull-down menu in the right column that appears after clicking the Photo icon-button within the Book project. From the menu she chose "Last import..." or other menu choice that added a mass of "unplaced" photos to the Book project.
She didn't realize that after creating a new Book project, she could simply drag an individual photo or multi-selected group of photos or an event or "faces" group from its respective library section and drop it onto the Book project's name in the left column, thereby adding only a small group of "unplaced" photos.
USER SOLUTIONS
=====Delete mass of "unplaced photos" within a Book project
This works best for cleaning up smaller number of unplaced photos from completed Book projects.
Problems with solution:
- if the number of unplaced photos is huge, e.g., 6,070, the list of unplaced photos won't appear for a long, long time if ever.
- even if the list of unplaced photos finally appears, there's no way to select more than one thumbnail at a time, i.e., command-a for Select All doesn't work, nor do shift-clicks and command-clicks for multi-item selecting. You must click one photo then tap the "delete" key on your keyboard repeatedly and fast for this to be practical (note: delete key presses are cached here (meaning accumulated until it catches up processing them later); tapping the delete key like mad then waiting for iPhoto to catch up takes lots of patience.
====Delete an entire existing Book project containing a mass association of unplaced photos
This is practical if you've already printed your Book project and no longer need it. My client chose this method for Book projects with a mega mass of unplaced photos.
Problem with solution:
- for incomplete Book projects in progress with a mass of unplaced photos, you'd have to start over after deleting the whole thing.
NEED FOR IMPROVED IPHOTO FEATURE(S)
(1) The existing "Clear Placed Photos" button within a Book project might be useful, but it'd be even better to also have a button to "Clear Unplaced Photos,” and this button should be available outside of the section that struggles to display thumbnails of large numbers of unplaced photos. Clicking "Clear Unplaced Photos" would do the trick.
(2) An additional iPhoto behavior might help: iPhoto should warn with an option to cancel when adding a mass of photos to the "unplaced photo" section if the number of photos exceeds ??? (400??).
(3) Add another choice to iPhoto’s special startup Administrative window (Repair, Rebuild, etc.): "Remove unplaced photos from existing projects. (Doesn't destroy any photos in Library)"
Whew!

Like I mentioned in the post, corruption was probably ruled out by running all the Admin features at iPhoto startup (e.g., Rebuild, etc.). I also stated in my post that I also ran a Disk Verify and Repaired Permissions in OSX (via Disk Utility). I also emptied system Library cache files as I stated in my post.
I was paid to figure out the solution and am not getting paid to troubleshoot for Apple. The more unplaced photos there are in a Book project, the longer it takes to build thumbnails. It's an old general problem in computing when building lists on the fly.
The delay happened for all Book projects with lots of unplaced photos (almost*** certainly more than Apple imagined a user would use), and the beach ball delay was proportional to the number unplaced photos, which super large numbers of photos.
I very much doubt photos are corrupt. But Apple will probably figure it out. It was EASILY reproducible. Try it with different number of unplaced photos known not be corrupt (they display fine elsewhere and iPhoto's and Disk Utlity's admin Verify, Repair etc features show no problems).
I'm done with this.
My client's iPhoto works well now and she knows how avoid placing exorbitant numbers of unplaced photos into her project. I'm not getting paid to answer all this, so good night.

I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

I have an iPhoto library with only Jpeg's in it. I just installed Aperture 3.5 and imported several RAW photos in Aperture. Shouldn't I now have an Aperture library?

Should I create an Aperture library and import all of my photos from iPhoto to the new Aperture library? Then delete my iPhoto library entirely? Just trying to get my library structure correct from the get-go as I plan to shoot only in RAW.
That is not an easy question. There are still a few glitches with the unified library approach. For example, the new iWork applications will not yet show the Aperture library in the Media Browser, only the current iPhoto library. If you are using iWork with your photolibrary, keep it an iPhoto library.
And it is unclear, what will happen, when Aperture or iPhoto will be upgraded to newer versions. Right now you need the latest iPhoto version to be able to upgrade older iPhoto libraries, if you want to open them in Aperture. So probably you will need to upgrade iPhoto as well, if you keep your library an iPhoto library, when both Aperture and iPhoto will be upgraded to Aperture 4 and iPhoto 12.0 or similar. In the long run it will be safer to convert the library to an Aperture library, if you do not want to keep updating iPhoto, but that can wait.
If you want to convert the iPhoto library to an Aperture library, back up your iPhoto library.
Then create a new Aperture library (with File > Switch to Library > Other/New ) and then import your iPhoto library into Aperture using the command "File > Import > Library" and select your iPhoto library.
You will need plenty of space on the drive with the new library. Merging a library into another one will temporarily a lot of working space and may take a long time - several hours for a large library, without visible progress.

Somehow one of my Aperture's Project shows all my 52000 photos
