Trial version aperture 3 won't import my iphoto's

Today i downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3. Now I would like to import my photo's from the iphoto library, but I only get the following text: 'Importing libraries from versions earlier than iPhoto 7.1.5 is not supported. Please upgrade your iPhoto library with iPhoto 7.1.5 or later.'.
I work with the latest Iphoto version 8.1.1

KMA367Reserve - If it's stalling at a specific point - and in you're case, it is - you've probably got a corrupt image in your source, iPhoto in this case. Or maybe the iPhoto library is damaged.
Please try these steps:
 • Rebuild your iPhoto library ([http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2638])
 • Upgrade to Aperture v3.0.2 if you haven't already done so.
 • Run your import again.
 • Open the Activity window (Aperture > Window > Show Activity).   This now shows which individual file is being processed.
 • If it's still stalling, it should allow you to identify the corrupt image and remove it (maybe you can reimport it later) from iPhoto.
 • If you have more than one corrupt file, you'll need to repeat this process.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Gary

  • Aperture won't import DNG files: Panasonic Lumix FZ28

    Well, i went to a seminar on aperture and got all excited to use it, downloaded the trial and discovered that it won't import my camera's RAW files (even though it came out 2 years ago and is supported in PhotoShop)
    I've tried various way of creating DNG files with DNG Converter (the one that works with PS CS3) but Aperture doesn't recognize those, either. (linear, non linear etc) (Will the CS4 converter do the job?)
    Is there anything else I should be trying? Have any of you had success with the same camera and what do you do?
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
    Elizabeth

    Yep, that's what I discovered and it's the whole problem with the RAW files, but what about DNG?
    I thought converting to DNG might allow them to be accessed: so you're telling me that I'm out of luck and have to stick with PhotoShop?
    That dng is not a universal format recognized by Aperture?
    I appreciate your input

  • Files that won't import to iPhoto

    I keep encountering files (png and jpeg) that wont' import into iPhoto even though they are fine in all other programs. I am using iPhoto '08 version 7.1.5. Any help would be appreciated. I use iPhoto to organize all my digital scrapbooking supplies, so not being able to import into it is a problem.
    Thanks!

    Usual reasons why a photo won't import:
    Unsupported Colour Profile - iPhoto works with RGB (which is what camera's shoot in) not CYMK or Greyscale
    Malformed Metadata on the file - try open it in Preview, Save it, and then import it.

  • Aperture will not import my iphoto library

    When trying to import my iphoto library to aperture 3 I get a warning that says: Importing libraries from versions earlier than iPhoto 7.1.5 is not supported. Please upgrade your iPhoto library with iPhoto 7.1.5 or later. But my iPhoto is the most up to date version available 9.2.1 so I do not understand why I would get this warning, heck I don't even think my iPhoto was EVER that old. PLEASE HELP!

    Ok so I think I got aperture to import my iPhoto library, well actually I know I did although it's either not complete or I'm not happy with how they apear and are all marked as iPhoto ariginals.
    But I had backed up my iPhoto library by draggin the file "iPhoto Library" in my Pictures folder to an external drive earlier and this time I when in Aperture 3 I clicked File > Import > Import iPhoto Library I chose the one off the external instead of the original and it worked right away. So no idea why it would not work off the original but at least I got it.
    And your link I think was fine, I am useing Mac OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 and for some reason when I click links safari likes to add https// to the beginning of each link or address even if it's already there let alon is not putting the colling in so it really is https// instead of http:// but thats another story. I am begining to wonder if I should have just upgraded to OS X Lion instead of the unreleased Mountain Lion as I'm guessing there will not be many updates to it till they actually release it to the public.
    But if anyone else was having the iPhoto Library issue, just back it up by dragging it somewhere else than importing to aperture 3 and your all good! And thanks for refering that Frank, the help was appreciated very much.

  • How can I delete my Aperture library and import into iPhoto?

    I have decided that I prefer the simpler interface of iPhoto, and I'd like to move all my photos back to there. I'm aware of the new feature that allows iPhoto to open up Aperture libraries; however, I want to delete the Aperture library and import all the photos into iPhoto. What's the simplest way to accomplish this?

    The Library file format is now the same.  If you have upgraded to the most current versions, you do not have to do anything to your Library: you can open it with either iPhoto or Aperture.  Since you prefer iPhoto, simply open your Library in iPhoto.
    As others have suggested, you might as well keep Aperture (the program) around, in case there is an adjustment or other function that you can effect with it that you cannot with iPhoto.

  • Trial Version Aperture 1.5

    I down loaded the trial version of aperture 1.5 ages ago and bought the licence key after. Unfortunately
    my hard drive crashed and I've lost the software but still have the licence key. Would anyone help me in getting aperture 1.5 ( just the software ) or point me in the right direction as to where I could maybe get a copy, as I don't particularly want ho have to spend over £300 on aperture 3 plus the mac boxed set up date.
    Thanks in advance for any help

    I do have a time machine which should have data from my old MBP is there anyway I can field the original serial number on my time machine?
    Yes, connect your old Time Machine to your new Mac. Point the mouse over the Time Machine icon in the dock (don't click) then PRESS-AND-HOLD the mouse button for a few seconds. Instead of Time Machine launching as it normally would, you'll get a pop-up menu. One of the choice is "Browse other Time Machine disks...". Pick that choice.
    You should be able to select your old Time Machine backup. You might be prompted to authenticate a username & password (I think network-based Time Machine backups require it but I think local Time Machine backups do not.) If so, the username & password it wants is the username & password from your OLD computer -- the one that created the Time Machine backup.
    From here you can browse your backups and selectively restore whatever you want.
    Now I'm certain where the license key file was kept in v1.5... my first version was 2.0. I believe the file you need to restore is: /Library/Application Support/ProApps/Aperture System ID
    (And if anyone is still running Aperture 1.5 and can verify that's the file, it'd be awesome.)
    Assuming it is, install Aperture 1.5 and restore that file. When Aperture runs it should behave as though it's licensed, AND if you click the 'About...' menu option in Aperture it should show you the non-encrypted version of the key so you can write it down and tuck in the box with your Aperture 2 & 3 disks.

  • Scanned photos from photoshop won't import to iphoto

    I rescanned some photos, the firsts were fuzzy, through photoshop. I saved as a jpeg file to a file on my computer but it won't let me import those to iphoto. I thought first it was because I saved them under the same file name, so opened photoshop, found the photos and saved under a new name. Still cannot import. Then I thought it may be due to the pictures already existing on iphoto, so deleted those, still with no luck.
    Please help.

    Baby Jake
    Not so: iPhoto can work with any format supported by QuickTime. From the iPhoto help:
    iPhoto: About Compatible File Types
    This document discusses which image file types are compatible with iPhoto.
    Importing to iPhoto
    iPhoto can import photos saved in any format recognized by QuickTime, including:
    BMP
    GIF
    JPEG/JFIF
    MacPaint
    PICT
    PNG
    Photoshop (with layers)\
    SGI
    Targa
    FlashPix
    TIFF
    Files used by iPhoto
    Any edited or rotated GIF images are saved in JPEG (.jpg) format. Any other file type, or unedited GIFs, retain their original file type.

  • Trial Version 10 Won't Launch Win7 64 bit

    On launch, i get the welcome message.

    Here are my system specs

    I hope someone can help.
    Thanks
    Dave

    I have manually updated everything yes.
    I have installed the trial version, 64 bit yes
    I installed on the C drive, which is an SSD drive and has 73GB free space.
    I tend to install programs on C as it is super fast, and keep data on the other drives, as they are big/slow/cheap
    However i have not even got that far yet, so all on C up to this point.
    I am on a network, however not sure that is "unusual", and I have upgraded many times in my life, however this is a new trial version installation on windows 7, so not really relevant.
    I am also not sure why having multiple hard disks is not typical of someone who does things like video editing?  I have attached the HDD infomation
    Erm, ok the advanced editor won't let me upload images now... so i will write it out:
    C: 73.3GB free from 148
    D: 224GB free from 465
    E: 251GB free from 465
    Bill:
    Right now I am running:
    Chrome (24 tabs), skype, putty (4 sessions), word (3 docs), Excel (2 docs), outlook, spark messenger, firefox (4 tabs), windows explorer (6 windows), IE9 (4 tabs), snagit, photoshop, winscp, 2 text editors, Visio (1 file), Project (1 file), dragon naturally speaking and virtual PC.  My current CPU is 5% and RAM usage is 59%. so I think 4 is ok ;-)
    When i try to launch Premiere i did so with all other applications closed.  RAM never went above 50% in task manager.
    the video cards are totally separate, no cross linking.  Problem with disabling, is that I am running 5 monitors, using VGA, DVI, and Display Port.  It has taken a lot of work to get them right using Catalyst and I find that any disruption tends to ruin the set up, and I might have to spend literally days getting it right again :-(
    I have manually checked that I have the latest drivers.  However this thing about drivers, means that you think that each time a new driver is released, Premiere will stop working.  but how will it know that a new driver is released?  And why would it stop working?  I can understand having really out of date stuff, however running a recent install of win7 with all drivers up to date should be fine for installing a program...
    Event viewer shows this:
    Faulting application name: Adobe Premiere Elements.exe, version: 10.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x4e791009
    Faulting module name: atio6axx.dll, version: 6.14.10.10792, time stamp: 0x4e6040de

    Report Id: 82548380-00f0-11e2-95aa-001d609579c2
    It seems likely that having multiple graphics cards, with multiple screens is going to end up being the root cause, which is ironic given that a power user is more likely to do video editing, and have multiple screens...
    Hope the above helps you prove me wrong!

  • IMovie won't import from iPhoto (this is different than all the other post)

    Before you think, "Oh... this is the typical 'iMovie 7 isn't importing iPhoto movies' question" this isn't. I've looked through a ton of threads and questions trying to find something similar to this.
    Q: I have all my digital camera (Canon SD500 camera (not camcorder), no known compatibility issues with Apple) movies, which are in .AVI format, in iPhoto. iMovie is being weird as in it will only import SOME of my camera movies. For some events, it imports ALL the movies in. For some events, it won't import ANY of the movies in. For some events, it will only import SOME of the movies included in it.
    If someone responds, "Your camera is incompatible" OR "the file format isn't supported" they should have points deducted from their account because they didn't read anything except for the first sentence and decided I don't know what I'm talking about.
    Here's some interesting things that have happened:
    1) I found ONE event in question called "Wedding Pictures & Movies" that wasn't showing up in iMovie. The camera we took movies with has other movies in other events that have successfully been imported into iMovie. But anyway, I realized that for some programming languages (I don't know if this is true with iMovie, I doubt it) that the ampersand (&) sign is used in code and shouldn't be used in titling things. So I shortened the name down to "Wedding" and all the sudden (more like after iMovie asked me if I wanted to create the thumbnails for the movies), SOME of my movies were put into iMovie, not all.
    2) Upon realizing that either: the event name was too long OR the & sign actually did screw it up, I shortened another event in question from "Reception Pictures & Videos" to simply "Reception". Upon opening iMovie, it never asked to build the thumbnail library with movies from this "Reception" event that I did the exact same thing to as the "Wedding" event.
    3) I thought I would try and force iMovie to refresh the thumbnail database (or build thumbnails for another movie again) by taking another movie with said camera above, the same one that I've taken all the other movies with, and imported the movie into iPhoto. Upon opening iMovie, it asked me to build the thumbnail, but only did so for the movie that I just took.
    What could be going on that movies from the same camera aren't showing up in iMovie? I can understand other cameras, but these movies are all from the same camera. Some will show up while others will not? Does anyone have a clue what could be going on here?
    BTW, the movies have not been edited in any way. They are all still in the exact same format and everything since they were imported into iPhoto.

  • "supported" camera won't import into iPhoto

    Just got my new iMac yesterday...I have an ancient digital camera - a Minolta Dimage 2300 - which I was never able to get to import into iPhoto on my old Mac and just downloaded them into Photoshop...well, I can't find the disk (or a supported driver) to get that to work and I still can't import them into iPhoto. I plug in the camera, turn it on and nothing...any ideas (aside from the obvious of getting a new camera -it's on my to do list - and running to Wal-mart to have them put on CD).
    Thanks!

    Hi, artful. Are you running iPhoto 4.x or older? If not, repost your question in an appropriate Discussion forum for the version of iPhoto you're using. If so, read on.
    With the camera connected to the Mac, set in its transfer-to-computer mode (assuming it has one), and turned on, open the Image Capture application from your Applications folder. Does it immediately tell you that no camera is connected? If so, I'm guessing you're going to be out of luck with the Minolta. Either way, open Image Capture Preferences (in the File menu), instruct IC to open iPhoto when a camera is connected, and then quit IC. If iPhoto still doesn't open the next time you connect your camera, then it would seem that the camera may be recognized in some way, but not properly.
    Minolta has no software driver downloads available for the 2300 and any version of OS X. There is some sort of software download for the 2300 and Mac OS 9.2.1, but since Classic is not supported on the Intel Macs, nothing that needs to run in OS 9 is going to do you any good, and I suspect connecting your camera to your new iMac just isn't going to work.
    A fallback option that may work is buying an inexpensive USB card reader (~$15-20) that accommodates your camera's CompactFlash card. Remove the card from the camera when it's full or you want to transfer photos. Insert it into the reader, connect the reader to the iMac, and if you're lucky and you've set Image Capture's preference as described above, iPhoto will open right up and offer to import your pictures. This method of transferring photos frequently works where a USB connection to the camera doesn't, because it gets the camera hardware out from between the card and the Mac: cuts out the middleman, so to speak. The middleman is sometimes a poor translator, and eliminating him can sometimes clear up miscommunication between the principals.

  • Certain photos won't import into iPhoto?

    Today I tried to import all of my photos from the past few months into iPhoto from my iPhone 5s. But what I discovered is that all of my pictures from February 21st until May 9th won't import or won't appear in my iPhoto library, but they are obviously still on my phone. All of my pictures from May 9th until now imported, but it's just within that specific time frame that none of those pictures will import and I have absolutely no idea why. I tried rebooting my computer and phone, force quitting iPhoto, selecting only the photos that won't import and trying to import those individually, but nothing is working. Please help, I'm really upset and frustrated.

  • Movie won't import into iPhoto

    Hi. I have a Canon Powershot A570. Up till now, I've never had any problems importing movies/images from this camera or previous Powershots to my Mac using iPhoto. However, this time, all the movies/images were imported from my SD card except one--a movie in AVI format that's about a minute long. I have repeatedly tried to import this movie, but to no avail. Each time, iPhoto begins the process normally, but then after a couple of minutes, it just stops importing without giving any error messages. Does anyone have any idea why I can't import this movie? Thanks for any help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    I don't know why it happens, but I have the same experience with longer videos and iPhoto 6. If iPhoto won't import a movie, the solution is to launch Image Capture (in your Applications folder) and use it upload. You can choose "Download Some" and then preview the files on your camera. Select the clip and import it to a Desktop folder. Don't believe the importing progress meter - it goes from nothing to 100% with no indication of how long you should wait. I've found that if I'm patient the clip will upload fully. Once on the Desktop I've had no trouble getting iPhoto to import it to the library.

  • Aperture won't import .bmp files

    I just set up Aperture (v. 1.5.4), and imported from iPhoto Library. All the .jpegs and .tiffs transferred over, but the .bmp files didn't. I tried to manually import them, but when I selected the folder they're in for import, the .bmp files didn't even show up as possible selections. They're there, but Aperture doesn't recognize them.
    Any way around this?

    "Compatible with all major still image formats
    JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PNG, PDF, PSD(2)"
    Note that BMP is not in that list, probably because it's a relatively rare image format these days.
    Your only way around this is to convert the files into another format. This is actually quite easy using Automator.
    1. Open Automator, click on Preview in the Library pane and drag a 'Change Type of Images' action into the main area.
    2. If you want to over-write the BMP files, don't add a copy action when Automator asks. I'd recommend leaving the copy action in and pointing it towards another folder.
    3. Pick a file format to convert to, such as JPEG. Note that there aren't any compression options.
    4. File>Save as Plug-in... and choose Finder from the drop-down menu. Give it a sensible name such as 'convert to JPEG' and this will now turn up in the Automator part of the contextual menus in the Finder.
    From now on whenever you want to convert a file to a JPEG, right-click on it and choose Automator>(whatever you named the action) and all selected files that you clicked on will be converted.

  • Aperture won't import photo with a tilde (~) in filename

    I imported my photo library from iPhoto to Aperture (3.0.1) but noticed 533 photos were missing. Even using Import -> Show iPhoto Library, and then dragging the missing Events or photos into Aperture would not work. Aperture was missing some entire iPhoto Events, and then missing some random photos from within other Events.
    After staring at it long enough, I finally noticed that all 533 seemingly unrelated photos all have a tilde (~) in their filename. My old Canon handheld (or some old Canon software) automatically put a tilde in the filename of these photos. Although the Aperture import function can see these photos and display their filename (i.e. 102-02~9), Aperture will not import them. When I try to import one of these Events or photos, Aperture creates an empty Project. iPhoto, Finder, and PhotoShop don't have any problems with a tilde, and I don't see any restriction against it in the User Manual.
    I had to export these iPhoto photos into a folder, and batch rename them so their filename does not have a "~" in it, and then import them into Aperture. This will keep the EXIF data, but it will strip any keywords -- but those can be added during the import. Although you can batch change titles in iPhoto, I couldn't figure out how to change the iPhoto filename, which seems to be causing the problem.
    I submitted an Aperture bug report.
