Update available photos in Aperture?

Does anyone know how to make iWeb refresh the list of available photos in Aperture? Much of the time in my workflow I am working with both Aperture and iWeb at the same time, adding photos to Aperture and building pages that use the new photos.
However, short of quitting iWeb and reopening, which does force an update, how to make iWeb update available pictures when Aperture has had photos added?

I don't use Aperture but you can try this:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder and the contents of the User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder.
2 - launch iWeb and try again.
3 - next, if needed, reapply the iLife Support 9.0.4 updater.

Apple tv 2 slow to update new photos from aperture (I mean hours)

Hi....
I have a large photo library within aperture 3.1.2, and I have an apple TV 2 that I use for casual browsing of the library.
The issue that I have is that when I add new photos to aperture, it can take a day or more until they show up in apple tvs photos.
Its almost as if apple tv is looking at an older version of my aperture library.
I have done a software update in the mac that serves apple tv, and also, ensured that apple tv is up to date. I've tried closing itunes, aperture, logged off, log on, rebooted apple tv 2 (by unplagging)- to no avail, restarted itunes, aperture, apple tv etc etc.
I just dont seem to be able to say to apple tv 2 the equivalent of "hey, go an refresh your view of aperture, there are new photos in there "
This is really frustrating, because the photos that i want to look at the most, are typically those that I have just taken.
Its really weird. As an other example, if i make a new smart album in aperture say "photos from last couple of days", with the obvious smart album selection criteria, then this too does not appear in apple tv 2 until a few hours later.
This smart album works as expected in aperture- no problems.
They will turn up later, but apparently with no rhyme or reason as to the timing.
I think its down to apple TV storing an older version of metadata for the aperture library.
I could understand it if I had no photos at all coming across, or if only photos with previews that come across, but no, it doesnt appear to be any setting such as that, becuase they will come over, eventually.
This appears to be a big bug- New photos cant be shown on apple TV for a day or two - grrrrrr.
Im pulling my hair out with it.
Any help really appreciated

Yes, I have the same issue also.
It look like only the last import is missing somehow.
For example, yesterday I import photos from DC and iPhone, and put them in one event.
Only the DC part shown up, and iPhone photo are missing.
If I use "Last 12 month" section in Apple TV and jump to bottom, you can see some empty squares, and not viewable. Somehow it is not updated.

The App Store says I have updates for I-Photo and Garage Band. When I try to update I get the following message: You have updates available for other accounts To update this application, sign in to the account you used to purchase it." Both apps came with my computer and as far as I know I only have one Apple account. Any thoughts? Thanks.

Thanks for you reply. I'm 99% positive that I'm using the user id and password that I used to set up my computer. That's why I'm stumped. I read the solution someone else suggested (type your user name without @gmail and create a new password. When I tried it, I was asked for my birthday. It didn't recognize it. I know I got my birthday correct. Oh well...

HT1338 How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon? I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available"

How do I get a driver for my Epson Stylus Photo 1400 so that it will run with Mountain LIon? I tried "Software Update" and says "no update available". I contacted Epson and was told all driver updates had to be obtained using "Software Update"?

You will find the latest Epson drivers herehttp://support.apple.com/kb/DL1398.
If you don't find a driver for your printer in the above, then install the Gutenprint drivers. It supports your model.

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

How can I export photos from Aperture with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.

How can I export photos from APERTURE with a new sequence and ignore the embedded JPEG number? Have tried renumbering to no avail.
has anyone resolved this issue?
This is now the second big Problem with using Apple's Appeture with NO apparent FIX...
Aperture has NO DIRECT way to Burn to a CD/DVD & apparently NO way to RE-SEQUENCE the numbering system????
ANYONE... I wish APPLE would address/fix these 2 problems... LIGHTROOM I guess is next?

Hi David,
Coming in and whining loudly is rude. We are all volunteers here, voluntarily sharing our expertise so that users like you can make the most of their time with Aperture. Speaking just for myself: although I do care about your success with software (it's why I'm here), I don't care what software you use. If you want to use Lightroom, do so, and post your questions in an appropriate forum.
Burning files to a CD is a file operation done at the system level (it is built into OS X). Aperture lets your create sharable image-format files from your Images. You then use OS X's tools to burn those files to a CD. Iirc, you can set up a "Burn Folder" in Finder, into which you can export files created from your Images, and with a single click burn your CD.
Naming the files you create by exporting your Images can be tricky. There are _many_ possibilities. Some things can't be done. Sequencing can be done in a number of ways (see Léonie's answer above). What have you tried? What was the result? In what way did this differ from what you expected?

Aperture does not update a photo preview after editing in external editor

I have noticed this problem after installing the last Aperture (3.2.3) update. It appears to be common to my Mac Pro and Mac Book Pro. The updated preview is visible only in "viewer" mode (menu / view / viewer). It's interesting, that updated preview appears in "viewer" mode on both displays (I use two monitors). And when I switch into "split view" the preview switch also and is not updated.
After relaunching Aperture previews are updated.
The thumbnail looks to be good (updated). This problem makes my work really uncomfortable.

This seems to be a bug, and has been discussed in several threads. See this workaround suggested by shuttersp33d: This helped me Re: saving from photoshop

When I export photos from Aperture, the pixel dimensions are halved thus losing data. I have set the export preferences to export at original size, to no avail. This happens even if I just drag to the desktop and then back, or if I export into my iphoto

When I export photos from Aperture to desktop or iphoto I lose pixels. The pixel dimensions are halved, despite setting the export preference to export at original size. Anyone know why or how to correct this?

Dragging an Image from Aperture exports the Preview. Preview parameters are set on the Previews tab of Aperture preferences.
Are you seeing the same results when you export using one of the export commands?
Is so, confirm that the settings in the selected Image Export Preset ("Aperture➞Presets➞Image Export") truly represent those in the Image Export Preset's name.
HTH,

I cannot run iPhoto after update to Yosemite. I cannot update iPhoto because the application store does not have any iPhoto update available. Anyone can advice how to overcome this hassle?

After update to Yosemite 10.10.3 the iPhoto program icon is banned and there is an error message that an update is required to run iPhoto, but the application store shows a message that iPhoto does not have any update available at this time. There is not even any iPhoto program available on the application store. Any suggestion on how to solve this annoyance?

Unfortunately, Apple has removed both iPhoto and Aperture from the Mac App Store so they cannot be downloaded anymore. This means you are forced to migrate to Photos (included in OS X 10.10.3) or, if this app does not include features you need, look for a different app.
Not true. Apple has removed both Apps from App Store so you cannot buy them anymore. But if you have any of these Apps already purchased in the past, then you can still download them on your Mac.

Open App Store, sign in with your Apple ID and go to Purchases tab. If you see iPhoto app listed there close down the App Store and do this steps as this is what worked for me:
Open Finder and go to Applications folder.
Locate iPhoto app
Drag iPhoto app from your Applications folder to Trash (NOTE: Do not emptied Trash yet)
Open App Store app and navigate to Purchases tab.
Click on Install button which is next to the iPhoto app (on the right hand side).
Once iPhoto is downloaded again, test it if its working for you. If all is ok, you can remove your Trash.

Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update 4.01 for Aperture 3 and iPhoto '11

Check Software Update!
Canon EOS M
Canon PowerShot S110
Nikon D600
Sony Cyber-shot DSC-RX100
Canon PowerShot G15
Canon PowerShot SX50 HS
Nikon 1 J2
Panasonic LUMIX DMC-FZ200

Those of you who have already imported "unsupported" photos into Aperture (i.e. Nikon D600) photos, simply choose Photos->Reprocess Original after installing this update (and restarting Aperture), and the photo will then show up.
Aperture Expert has a little summary too:
http://www.apertureexpert.com/tips/2012/10/24/digital-camera-raw-compatibility-u pdate-401-for-aperture-3-a.html

I cannot fathom why a RAW update is not compatible with all versions of Aperture 3. This is forced redundancy in my opinion. Not happy...
I understand that this is annoying for you, but it is part of the redesign of MacOS to make it more efficient and not to waste disk space on redundant installations.
The recent raw update - as I see it - is an update to Mac OS X 10.8.x, not to Aperture. Since Mac OS X Lion Apple has started to migrate the raw support directly to the OS, so they do not need to install the raw support as update to many different applications. I have not checked yet - is this update included in Lion as well? I sincerely hope so.
Send feedback to Apple that you need this upgraded raw support also available in Snow Leopard.

Incorrect Photo Orientation - Aperture 3 to Apple TV 2

About a year ago I imported my iPhoto library of about 23,000 photos to Aperture 3. The iPhoto library had some small corruptions in it and I was hoping the more robust nature of Aperture 3 would fix these, but the import made the corruption issues significantly worse. Old Events from iPhoto (now Projects in Aperture 3) were randomly split up all over the place, duplicates of many photos appeared and many photos seemed to have lost the EXIF(?) data indicating which way photos were taken (landscape or portrait mode). As a result of the last problem many photos were on their side or upside down. Applecare were no use at all, claimed they had never heard of such a problem and had no idea how to solve these issues.
After laboriously fixing most of the problems by hand over the past year, all the photos in my Aperture 3 library (now around 25,000 photos), display the correct way up.
However, I still have one problem I can't fix. When Apple TV picks the photos up from Aperture (on my iMac), via my WiFi network, it displays around 20% of them on their sides rather than the correct way up. Rebooting everything multiple times hasn't fixed it. My guess is the Apple TV is reading the corrupted EXIF data associated with these photos, and ignoring their orientation as they appear (after manual correction), in Aperture.
Does anyone have a fix or any ideas please?

I believe that iTunes/Aperture keeps a cache for the photos shared with AppleTV. Those need to be updated. If you can figure out where the cache is and delete it, iTunes/Aperture should regenerate it in the correct orientation. Unfortunately I don't have the time now to figure out where it is.

I can no longer drag photos in Aperture (within a project, between projects

I find that suddenly I cannot drag photos in Aperture. In other words, I cannot MOVE a photo at all, whether within a project or between projects and albums, &c. Not only this, but I cannot copy & paste either. I can still export photos, though.
I noticed this first a couple of hours ago when attempting to attach a photo into an email using the Mail application. It wouldn't budge. I thought it might have been a problem with the Mail program but no, it appears to be in Aperture because I then tried to drag the photo directly from Aperture into the email (which I've been doing for years).
I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains.
Any suggestions as to what I might do other than export the whole library to Lightroom and start learning all over again?

Can you confirm:
- that this is true for many Images? Try different Images in several Projects. If possible, try with an Image you had been able to drag-and-drop into Mail in the past.
- that you can't drag from a Project to an Album.
- that the Image you can't drag-and-drop has a Preview? ("Photos➞Update Preview")
What do you mean us to understand with the "and all that" part of "I've done a rebuild and all that, yet the problem remains"?

I'm running MacOS 10.7.5 with all updates and did an update last night for aperture and now aperture doesn't open. What's Zup? Help!

Also when I do the system update it's not giving me an update for the latest Snow Leopard. I never knew that was available until I started looking around this site and it seems that since I have the internal dual core I should be able to update to mountian lion...is this correct? Will someone please help me and walk me through this. I love my mac I want to have it running like it should be.

How secure are my photos in Aperture?

This is following on from another question I asked the other day about how best to organise my library.
Prior to using Aperture I used to store all of my photos in two directories. RAW files where stored in one called Digital Negatives and high res TIFF files in once called Final Prints.
This is my current workflow:
1. Create folder in Digital Negatives directory named after shoot date and download all photos into it.
2. Create a new project in Aperture and import the photos as referenced material.
3. Do all the neccassary RAW processing etc and, if required open certain files in External Editor (Photoshop), save those changes and this updates the version in Aperture.
So far so good, so far so simple.
However it strikes me that in doing this I'm not actually creating a new file to store in my Final Prints. If Aperture where to stop working (something I've read in these forums when applying an update) I have no access to my finished photos. If I were to ever decide to stop using Aperture I'd loose all my edits etc. Ultimately yes I would still have my RAW files but the idea of having to re-process several thousand files and trying to recreate the image exactly as it originally was is going to be nigh on impossible.
So, is it safe to just leave Aperture to handle all of my files like this or should I as a matter of course export all photos that I want to keep as high res tiffs?

We just finished a podcast interview with Joe Schorr (prd. mgr) that'll be up at ApertureProfessional.com in a few days, but the bottom line is this...
If you reference your images, and your library were to vanish, with no backup at all, you still would have your original raw files. You'd just be missing your adjustments, keywords, etc. But as the other posters said, you need to back up any type of file that is crucial to you.
However, the comment "even if Aperture were to stop working" isn't something that could happen. The program Aperture is not the library of files it creates. If your copy of Aperture were to somehow stop working, you could just reinstall it. Or, if your computer died and you had your library backed up, you'd could just move that library to any other computer. Aperture wont' "stop working" on any universal level.
Even if, hypothetically, Apple were to go out of business tomorrow, the copies of Aperture on your computers would still work. Whether stored in the Library or stored as referenced files, they're still stored as their original raw files, and any program that can edit those can read them.
Even better, you can, if you're really concerned, periodically export your images along with XMP sidecars, then you could just pick right up in Adobe Bridge and keep going.
Incidentally, files that live in the Library are still not locked in. The library's just one big folder. If you right click on it and select "Show Package Content" you'll be able to navigate through a folder structure of your images that matches the layout of your projects.
I go into this more in depth here:
