Unable to import photos in Aperture after iPhoto last update 9.6.1

Hi,
I have no clue if it's related, but after iPhoto last update to 9.6.1, I'm no more able to import photos in Aperture from my Pentax K-50.
Spinning wheel and after that, I get the message that no pictures were imported.
Everything was going fine until that iPhoto update!
Sometimes, it will import 1 picture and then Aperture will crash, saying that it was impossible to import pictures.
I formatted my SD card, but same result.
Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks

Importing Photos from Aperture to iPhoto Issue

I am using Aperture 2 and am seeing a behavior I don't understand. My photos are now in the Aperture library and I also have a new, nearly empty iPhoto library (I archived my old iPhoto library after importing all the files to Aperture).
The behavior comes up when I want to move a file back to iPhoto. If I go to iPhoto, open the Aperture browser and drag the photo to iPhoto, I get a much smaller picture than the original, and smaller than if I instead export the version from Aperture and import it into iPhoto.
Example: I have a JPEG that is 1.8Mb and 2560 x 1920 in in Aperture. When I drag it to iPhoto from the Aperture browser in iPhoto, it becomes a 230kb picture at 1280x960. If I export and import, the file size changes a little (down to 1.4Mb), but the resolution remains at 2560x1920.
Aren't you supposed to be able to drag the full-sized image to iPhoto using the Aperture browser?
Thanks.

"Full size" makes reference to the original pixel dimensions of the photo coming from the camera. In my case I have a 4.0 megapixel camera that shoots 1704 x 2272. This would mean that Aperture would be creating full size previews at those pixel dimensions. This wouldn't make much sense for me because I'm not shooting RAW. Previews are primarily for photographers who shoot RAW, but want to keep JPG versions so either full RAW files can be stored offline, or so they can quickly view the JPG previews in quick preview mode.
(Hope that makes sense.)
As far as your iMac goes, the 1680 setting would size your previews down to that number of pixels which would fit pixel for pixel into your iMac's monitor. Even if you went smaller with your previews, Aperture would still have them fill the screen in full screen mode, they'd just be blowing them up a bit.
Enjoy it. Its quickly becoming a favorite app of mine.

Unable to import photos to Lr from iPhoto; Lr does not recognize iPhoto as an Application

When I press IMPORT in Lr4.2, a choice of accounts and sources appears: I press Applications under Mac HD, some apps, like iWork and Documents appear, but not iPhoto. When I try to export JPEGS from iPhoto, a sign appears saying there is not enough disk space to export. Please help. Thank you.

Hey, Bobcat, I had the same problem. I'm learning LR4 from Scott Kelby's book, "Lightroom 4 for Digital Photographers." He led me in the right direction, but wasn't explicit about our problem of importing iPhoto images. Anyhow, here's how I finally figured out how to do it.
First I set up a new folder in Macintosh HD >Users>(your name)>Pictures called "My Lightroom pictures." (Kelby suggests keeping ALL your photos in a single folder, for some excellent reasons I won't detail here.)
Anyhow, with that folder set up, go into iPhoto, and export the images you want into this "My Lightroom pictures" folder. (You can set up subfolders there, if you want, and export into them. I do this for each iPhoto "event.")
Now go into LR4 and hit your import button. The folder "My Lightroom Pictures" should appear in the left panel, and you can take it from there, right?
I don't snoop around this forum very often, so if you think I can help some more, email me at: [email protected]
Best,

I am unable to mount my NTFS partition after the last update

I usually mounted my NTFS partition with the "gnome-disk" utility. It works no longer, only if I start it with "sudo". But in this case the mount point will be in a directory called "root" and this cause several problems, eg.: old hardcoded paths stop working in scripts. What can I do to make the gnome-disk utility work as an ordinary user.

Thx, maybe I could use the fstab to mount the partition, am I right? But I don't know how to do it properly, because when I tried it in the past native hungarian characters iny the file and directory names always caused problems. If I somehow could capture the command sequence which the gnome-disk utility passes to the kernel / bash, would be helpful.

When importing photos from aperture photos are blurry

I have been making a video and up to now no problems. Then today i was working on it and when i started adding some more photos from aperture they were fuzzy and blurry.
In aperture they are crisp and clear but the minute i put them in imovie they are blurry and not useable.
I have imported photos from aperture and iphoto both and had no issues so not sure what is going on today.

I think I just figured this out.
Go into Aperture preferences and go to "previews" tab. Set "photo preview" to "don't limit" and turn the quality all the way up. Then select all your photos, go to the "photos" menu, hold down the option key and click "generate previews".
It appears that the library sharing is just using the generated previews from Aperture which default to poor quality. You need to turn up the quality and then force a re-render of all your previews. iMovie should pick this up (but won't update your slideshow...).
Yeah, I'm pretty disappointed by those defaults. Wasted hours of my time as I rebuilt the slideshow with better versions of my photos.
Hope that helped.

HT4623 Is there any way to recover my contacts after this last update? I evidently did not do the cloud thing correctly, thought it backed up when charging.

Is there any way to recover my photos and contacts after this last update? Evidently I did not back up properly, I thought that your phone backed up while charging.... Not so?

In order to recover something that info has to exist. Where is it? Tell us where your data is backed up and you will get your answer. Places where your contacts can be recovered from: Facebook app, emails like gmail or yahoo, windows contacts, Mac contacts/address book, outlook, exchange, iCloud backup, iCloud synced contacts(that one is unlikely, or you wouldn't be here), iTunes backup.

Upgrading iPhone 3GS to iOS4 unable to import photos to iPhoto

After upgrading my iPhone 3GS to iOS4, I am unable to import photos to iPhoto. Also, iPhone does not turn up in iPhoto. Unable to find other ways to import photos from iPhone. No problems importing before upgrade. Anyone with a god solution?

I too had troubles with iPhoto and the iPhone Photo app. They are solved for now. Problem description and action take are as follows.
Problem 1 - Got a new iPhone 4 and upgrade my wife's iPhone 3GS to iOS 4. For both phones, when I connected them to iTunes to sync and selected on the Photo tab to sync my entire iPhoto library, nothing synced to the iPhones.
Solution 1 - I opened iPhoto to ensure my photo collection was indeed there. I closed iPhoto and tried to sync the phones again. This time, the sync took place, taking a long time since the thumbnail photo collection had to be created.
Problem 2 - I knew the photos were on the phones since the sync was complete. On the new iPhone 4, I could see the photos when I selected events or faces or places. The albums tab was blank. On the 3GS, it still looked like there were no photos.
Solution 2 - I shut down the iPhones holding both home key and the power button. I waited a minutes and restarted. Upon restart, both Photo apps displayed my photo collections properly - at least for now.

Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
That is a good news. We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
But this is puzzling:
I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
Underneath the box is written:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library Create New Choose
I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
/Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not? Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it? Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

After upgrade to IOS8 can't import photos from Aperture

I upgraded to IOS8, reset my iPad to factory settings and reinstalled all my apps from scratch.
When go into iTunes and I select to import photos from Aperture on my Mac it hangs.
I have an old iPhoto library on my Mac and if I select photos from that it works.
I have switched off everything to do with iCloud after seeing some posts that this might be causing the problem, but not a solution for me.
(I have over 28,000 photos in my Aperture library).

Did you turn on iCloud Photo Library? I suspect it may remove the ability to sync photos and videos between Macs and iOS devices.

When importing from camera into aperture, photo's are also copied to my desktop, if i delete from desktop i am unable to edit photo in aperture. Must have done something, but what?

Have a look at your import setting specifically Store Files:
Make sure it is set to where you want the originals to go.
Message was edited by: Frank Caggiano - Don;t empty the system trash. The originals that you deleted from the Desktop are in there and are the only copies you have unless they are still in the camera.

IPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera

iPhoto suddenly quit while importing photos from camera unable to import photos from camera that were imported before iPhoto quit. Photos are still on the camera however iPhoto only "sees" the photos that were not imported on this computer. I can connect to my other mac and see all the photos. This has happened before and I wanted to learn how to deal with this problem. Thanks Ed

I am using a MacBook Pro OS 10.9.2, iPhoto 9.5.1 connected via usb to a Canon G12. I have had this issue before when importing photos. I can work around by using my other Mac and download the photos. I believe that there maybe a setting on the Mac that prevents duplicating photo downloads that may be preventing me from seeing these photos stored in the camera memory although I can view them on the camera.

Full photos from Aperture to iphoto

I'm new to aperture but I'm trying to import full quality photos from aprture to iphoto, however all I can manage to get in iphoto is thumbnails a few hundred kb worth...Does anyone know how to transfer full quality jpegs over after editing with aperture..ps I can't get raw files off my canon 450d either...
cheers David

Davo
The only way to get "full photos" from Aperture to iPhoto is to export them from Aperture ant then import them to iPhoto.
If you use the Media Browser in iPhoto (File -> Show Aperture Library) then you can drag Previews over. You can increase the quality if the pics available to iPhoto this way by increasing the quality of the Previews.

Import photos from iphone to iphoto

I've been able to easily import photos from my iphone to iphoto by connecting my phone to the computer via USB cable. However, it does not seem to be working. I have the older version of iphoto (I believe it's version 9), and when I connect my phone it is not automatically asking if I want to import. I've checked my preferences in iphoto, and have it set to open when a mobile device is connected. When reading other posts similar to this issue it seems that there is a "device" section over to the left, which I do not have in my iphoto. I know the USB cable is working because I can see my phone is connected to my itunes on my computer. I would like to take my photos off my phone to free up some space. Thanks!

Hello bbb34vball,
Since that article didn't help, I would suggest trying the steps in this article next:
iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support
If that doesn't resolve your issue, you may find more information by using another one of Apple's support resources - https://getsupport.apple.com/GetproductgroupList.action.
