Unsupported Image File????? iphone videos???? Aperture????

Hello,
I have only ever imported video files to aperture from my iphone 4.
So I havent changed the video format on the phone, it should just be a straight forward import and as apple have made the hardware & the software????
If you cant view the videos in aperture, whats the point of being able to import them to aperture in the first place??????
Is there anyway around this stupid error ???
Any ideas would be wonderful

Not sure if you are still suffering from this problem, but I had a similar issue, and tracked it down to the files being imported from a shared folder. If the shared folder has any Access control list set up, or the permissions aren't quite right (including some that you can only change yourself in Terminal like permission to Execute), then the video will import but appears to be unsupported.
An easy work around is to move the file to one of your personal directories into a library also in your private directory. If you are actually looking to share your library, then I had to set up a new partition and set it to 'Ignore permissions'. It then worked absolutely fine - also resolved some corruption issues I sometimes got with the shared library.
Hope this helps, and let me know if you need more details.  Note that other posts fixed this by removing 3ivx libraries from Quicktime : https://discussions.apple.com/message/15714152#15714152.

  • 40D raw .CR2 files still causing 'Unsupported Image File' error

    I have the most recent version of Leopard 10.5.1 and the newest version of Aperture 1.5.6 (2J2). Often times I open a RAW image shot with a Canon 40D (.cr2 file), I get the red screen "unsupported Image File" error message. Color mode is RGB. These were shot with RAW plus JPEG (not SRAW). It doesn't happen on every image shot at the same time in the same way, just some of the images. Can anyone advise why I would still be having this issue so long after Apple is offering 40D support? I've tried rebuilding my library data base to no success. I've tried reinstalling aperture. What next? Getting very frustrated, thanks!

    I use Nikons and sometimes get a message like that. This might not be Aperture causing this. Blow out the connector holes on your memory cards and pins inside the cameras where the card connects. If the error is on the same frames all the time reformat your card a couple of times before using and make sure the card is seated properly. Don't turn off the camera immediately after taking the shot but let the camera finish the process of writing the photo frame onto the card.
    Have you opened the frames in Preview to check if it see it?

  • Unsupported image format after merging aperture libraries

    I've experienced a large number of files with 'unsupported image format' after merging aperture libraries from separate external hard drives.  I did not have this problem in either library prior to merging them.  Can anyone advise how to rectify this issue?  Thanks

    Try running  library repair on the merged library and see if that helps.
    To run the repair open Aperture while holding the option and command keys down. Select Repair from the menu.
    Post back if you still have the problem.

  • "Unsupported Image" for iPhone JPGs

    Just noticed that a BUNCH of previously imported (all viewed, and some edited in Aperture) images are now either black boxes with "!", or the "colored snow."
    Ugh.
    Weird thing is these are all JPGs taken with my, or my wife's iPhone 5.
    I've repaired Aperture permissions, and even Repaired Database. But they're still no bueno.
    I also selected the photos and tried "reprocces originals" but it says "unsupported" and won't/can't reprocess anything.
    I guess I'll try a database rebuild tonight. But… I'm kind of freaking out. A lot of these are of our baby's first few days.
    I know this is usually a problem for RAW files, or files edited in an external editor or with a plugin.
    But these are all iPhone 5 JPGs!!!
    I have backups, as well as a well-maintained vault. But I'm still very nervous.
    Help?

    Has the rebuilding created a "recovered" project? Search the Library Inspector panel. If versions have lost the connection to the originals, Aperture will collect them in a special project for lost+found image files.
    YES, BUT THERE ARE ONLY 2 IMAGES IN IT. AND THEY ARE TIFF SCANS FROM A LONG TIME AGO (THAT I HAVE SINCE RESCANNED, AND TRIED TO DELETE THE CORRUPTED ONES, BUT THEY KEEP SHOWING UP AS RECOVERED, LOL).
    There must be something preventing Aperture from accessing the original image files.Where is the Aperture library stored, on an internal or external drive? And how is the drive connected, if external?
    I HAVE MY LIBRARY ON A SEPARATE INTERNAL HD (AND BACKED UP TO A VAULT, ON A SEPARATE INTERNAL, AS WELL AS TIME MACHINE, AND CRASHPLAN). 
    Can you check, if your original image files are still ok inside the Aperture library?
    I DON'T USE A REFERENCED LIBRARY, SO I DON'T KNOW HOW TO CHECK THIS. IT KEEPS TELLING ME THAT IT "DOESN'T HAVE ANY REFERENCED FILES." 
    If you also have iPhoto 9.5, select in Aperture the menu command "File > Open Library in iPhoto".  In iPhoto select one of the photos with corrupted thumbnails and use the menu command "File > Reveal in Finder > Original File".  That will open the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library package. Be careful not to move or modify anything inside.
    I DID THIS, AND THE IMAGES ARE STILL CORRUPTED. AND WHEN I OPEN THEM IN FINDER, THEY DON'T WORK. IT JUST GIVES ME A GIANT GENERIC THUMBNAIL, AND SAYS "AN ERROR OCCURED WITH THE PREVIEW OF THIS DOCUMENT."
    If you do not have iPhoto 9.5, select the Aperture library, ctrl-click or right-click, then open the folder "Masters" and go to the year, month, day of the images in question.
    Do you find any original photos, and can you open them in Preview?

  • How do I move image files from my aperture library to an external hard drive?

    I want to free up space on my MacBook Pro by moving most of my image files to a new external hard drive. I want to manage these image files with Aperture as referenced files.  I've read much about importing from external drives, leaving the original image file on the external drive, and managing as a managed reference file.  But but I haven't seen anything in the literature yet that tells me how to free up space on my laptop's drive.

    The screen shot got messed up so its hard to tell what part you're asking about. But if you're asking about this part of the window:
    That's were you setup the folders that the originals will go into and how you want the originals to be named (if you want to change the way they are named)
    The Subfolder format box defines how the subfolders will be named. IN the image above the subfolders will be named by the image date. A folder for the year, a folder under that for the month and then a folder under that for the day. Then finally the original files.
    The name format sets how the originals are named. In the case above they would be named by the version name followed by a sequence number.

  • "unsupported image file" when importing RAW images from Olympus E-PL1

    When I try to import images save in RAW format on the camera, the images import but they can't be displayed (all I get is a warning triangle with the words "unsupported image format" below it, though in the import preview the images are displayed properly.
    EDIT: just noticed that the E-PL1 isn't listed as being supported, just the E-P1 & 2

    Apple have just included RAW support for the Olympus E-PL1 with the Digital Camera Raw Compatibility Update 3.3 - iPhoto can now import RAW files from the E-PL1.

  • "unsupported image file" message

    hi there, this is the message that appears with some tiff files saved by Photoshop CS2: unsupported file image.....
    But if I export the master of the file and open back in photoshop, the file is OK
    Does anybody can solve this problem?
    I've tried rebuilding all the projects but still happens the same and sometimes the "corrupted" files work fine after but other that were OK, give the error message.... !?!?!?!?
    It's frustrating for my job, wasting a lot of time to export, save, then import again without solution

    How big are the TIF's?
    Are you reading them across from an external HDD?
    Is the external on FW400, FW800 or eSATA?
    I used to have problems with 200+Mb TIF's from scans, but this got corrected by the development team. Recent posts say that there is still a problem with very big TIF's.
    Other possibility is the graphics card. If you have the 6600, then it's slow speed may be causing Aperture to "time out" waiting for the TIF to render. This will be exacerbated by a slow external disk sub-system. Again, this should be associated with big TIF files of >200Mb.

  • Image files exported from Aperture do not arrive at Photoshop Elements 11

    In Aperture preferences, I have nominated PSE 11 as an external editor.
    When I try to send an image, I get the Adobe start-up window (even though PSE 11
    is already open), but the image from Aperture does not arrive.
    Can anyone suggest what I need to do, please?

    The odds are that you are using the wrong file as the external editor. You want this one:

  • Deleting images/files in harddisc, aperture 3

    Hello smart ones,
    I'm having a tough time figuring out how to delete images in Aperture 3. I mean delete as in get rid of completely, not just in aperture library or such. I've been searching the blogs, net, discussions, etc, and trying and trying without success.
    So. I need space in my harddisc and I imported "everything" in the beginning, and now it would be very easy to clear up some space w/aperture. I just cannot find a way to delete a version(s) and a master, so that it would also delete the actual file in the disc (in finder, sort of).
    I actually tested the method of deleting the file in finder, but aperture still had it somehow ?!? Even restarted it but the photo was still there, eventhough the actual file was in the trash (=system trash).
    If any of you have knowledge, I would be really happy !
    Thanks in advance,
    Teemu

    You're image didn't display.
    What this all means is you have a messed up installation. If you imported as you say you did (in their current location) and you can see the masters in the finder OUTSIDE of the Aperture library package but Aperture shows you no images if you search for referenced images then something is seriously messed up beyond having to delete files twice.
    If all you've written is correct then I would suggest you stop normal operations and try to find out what is going on because what you got ain't right.
    Have you run the Basic trouble shooting steps? That would be a good place to start. Also make sure you have a working backup.
    good luck

  • Aperture 3 and DNGs from LX5 raw files: unsupported image format

    My LX5 arrived, and I tried converting a raw file to DNG with Adobe DNG Converter 6.2.0.21 beta and importing it into Aperture. No luck: Aperture says it's an unsupported image format. I tried setting the compatibility as far back as possible in the preferences, and still no luck. Any idea why this doesn't work? I used Adobe DNG Converter multiple times to work with raw files from unsupported cameras, so it's a real surprise to get the unsupported image file message.
    —Andreas

    Unfortunately, this is more about Apple dragging its feet than a cutting edge issue. I got an LX3 and upgraded to Aperture 3 in February of this year. RW2s straight out of the camera always imported just fine. However, I've never been able to get a DNG generated from an RW2 with Adobe DNG converter to work. Interestingly, DNGs from another file format I use (PEF) work fine in Aperture.
    I submitted a issue report to Apple about the RW2 to DNG problem back in March, and like so many other suggestions to them, it seems to have vanished into the ether.

  • Aperture 2, OS 10.6.4, and Pentax K-x, creates unsupported image format

    Upgraded from 10.6.3 to 10.6.4, and started getting the "Unsupported Image Format" problem in Aperture again for my RAW DNG files from a Pentax K-x.
    The previous fix was to remove the Raw Compatibility Upgrade, and reinstall the 3.0 version. (3.03 was the installed version after 10.6.4).
    Doing this, I was able to view my images, but they show up as only 250 x 170 pixel images in Aperture metadata!
    File size is what it should be (~10MB), but they are dinky little images. What the heck?!!!
    Any ideas what's going on here?
    I would upgrade to Ap 3, but still see tons of people reporting problems with it supporting Pentax, especially color shifting of RAW images after upgrading.
    Suggestions appreciated!

    Hi David-- thanks for your advice. I have been looking into it further and it just gets more confusing. I am able to open all of these DNG files in Photoshop so the problem seems to be with some combination of the K-X, OS 10.6.4 and Aperture 2. I have gone so far as to purchase Aperture 3 but haven't opened the package yet. After hearing about your experience (not to mention the thousands of other complaints about Ap 3 performance I've seen) I think I'll take it back and make the switch to Lightroom 3. Lightroom's features may not be quite as good, but at least it seems to be stable and I imagine it will be able to read the DNGs since Photoshop does. I just don't have the energy to be constantly patrolling the state of my photo management program!
    I'll keep you posted on my experiments with Lightroom.
    Thanks again.

  • Suddenly getting "unsupported image fomat" on RAW files that have been working perfectly.  How do I fix it and can I get those images back?

    I am suddenly getting "unsupported image file" for RAW images that have been working just fine.  How do I fix this and how do I get those images back?  Version 3.4.5, Canon 7D, everything up to date and no updates since files were loaded into Aperture.

    Would it help to buy a separate external hard drive for Aperture?
    That would be by far the best solution. And it would make the backup easier. You could include the "Aperture" drive in your Time Machine backup. With the original files stored on your Time Machine volume there is no way that Time Machine could back them up.
    Use Disk Utility to format the new drive "MacOS X Extended (Journaled)".
    Set the "Ignore Ownership on this Volume" flag. (select the drive in the Finder, use "File > Get Info ⌘I)
    In the "Get Info" panel your drive should look like this:

  • Enable video file and image file thumbnails WITHOUT enabling thumbnails for other filetypes

    Hello. I am new to Mac and pulling my hair out at some of the limited UI options
    I am wanting my image-files and video-files to appear in Finder (desktop etc) as thumbnails
    However, I DON'T want PDFs, Excel, Word, PowerPoint files to have a preview thumbnail
    Basically how things are now either way, it's very cumbersome visually to distinguish between file-types while cruising around my folders with a quick glance.
    if thumbnail previews are on for all, its hard to tell at a quick glance which are PDFs, Excel files vs. images
    similarly, the little "pdf" or "xlsx" or "docx" text overlay on these previews is so small and non-color coded as to be useless for quick-glance recognition of which filetype
    if thumbnails are off, it's impossible to glance at files in a folder and know which image or video each is without wasting my precious miliseconds clicking on them, or trying to actually read truncated filenames
    Here are some possible solutions which I hope somebody knows how to do:
    globally enable or disable icon previews by filetype (preferred)
    stipulate adding overlayed mini icons to certain filetypes
    example: if it's a pdf, show the icon preview, but overlayed on that would be the red Adobe pdf icon/logo roughly a quarter of the size of the file icon (like is possible in Windows 7).
    this way image and video previews can be seen at a glance, but having a big red or green or blue logo makes for immediate recognition of filetype
    (least prefered but could help) ...somehow change the font color and increase the font size of the overlayed "pdf" "xlsx" "doc" "pptx"currently standard on these filetypes while showing icon preview but ALL are miniscule black text no matter which filetype
    I'm quite dumbfounded right now that something for better immediate-glance filetype recognition isn't standard, or at least easily Google'able. All I've found is the Either/Other bamboozle.
    Would love it to hear of a solution for this. Thanks all.

    Put all of your separate flash movies into one move, and then
