Weird workaround for syncing from Aperture

I sometimes regret moving from iPhoto to Aperture. It ought to be an improvement, but there are problems with iPhone syncing. Lots of posts here about that. I have my iPhone 4 set to sync all photos from Aperture. I noticed some individual photos were not syncing from a particular album. Could not figure out why. Noticed that these photos were the only ones in the album without keywords. Added a keyword, and then they synced. But this does not seem to be uniform. I looked at other photos in my Aperture library also did not have keywords, but they synced. Wonder if it has something to do with the fact that those pictures that were not syncing were added to my library using a card reader rather than connecting the camera (Canon EOS digital Rebel). Anyway, if anyone has any thoughts . . .

You’re welcome.
can I just delete all of the messages in my .mac inbox periodically
once I know they have all been copied to both computers?
Yes. Beware, however, that copying the messages may cause things such as clicking on the reply arrow to find the reply to a message to stop working because the copy may not be recognized as being the same message. You may want to check whether things work as you expect before getting rid of the original messages.
If I delete them in the .mac inbox in mail I presume they will
disapear from the server?
If you delete them from the account’s Inbox in Mail or from the server via webmail, they’ll disappear from everywhere as a result of Mail synchronizing with the server.
Actually, if you move the messages to a locally stored mailbox, instead of copying them, that’s enough to remove them from the server (and from the other computer) as well.
Thus, you may want to designate one of your computers as the “master” and move the messages there instead of copying them after having copied them on the other.
there is no way of automating the deleting of messages from the
inbox after a period of time.
There is a way by setting up a rule that invokes an AppleScript that forces the rules to be evaluated for already existing messages. Andreas Amann’s Mail Scripts’ Filter Sent Messages script illustrates how this technique works. I don’t recommend you to do that for what you want to accomplish, though.

How to automate a unilateral sync from Aperture to an FTP server?

+You can export multiple Projects at once:+
+1. Select the top-level *Blue Folder*, this will show all the images from all the Projects in it.+
+2. Select all the Versions.+
+3. Export, using the image export preset of your choice, and a folder-naming preset made up of 'Folder Name', '/' & 'Project Name'.+
+This will export the whole lot in one go, into a subfolder structure of 'name of *Blue Folder*'/'Name of Project'. Note that it will only take the name of the topmost *Blue Folder*, so it will only work for single-level *Blue Folder* structures.+
I want to take this one step further. My goal is to have a "mirror" of a given *Blue Folder* (with the projects and sub-folders represented as sub-directories as accomplished by the advice above) not just on my hard drive, but on a (private) FTP server. In essence, I want a significant percentage of my photo database mirrored on an FTP server. Note that this is not for backup purposes but for sharing the contents of my photo library (the portion of it that is appropriate to share--for example photos of family events, travels, etc.)
Currently my workflow is to click the *Blue Folder* that houses all of my family photos, select all versions, and export to a directory as advised above: Folder Name / Project Name. That takes a long time. Then I ftp the entire exported-directory tree to my FTP server. I try to do this cleverly by taking advantage of Yummy FTP's relatively new "sync" feature that compares my source directory tree with the destination directory tree, deletes files on the destination FTP server that aren't in the source file tree and uploads only the files in the source tree that aren't present in the destination tree (i.e. a unidirectional sync).
This works well enough, but it seems like a process that could be readily automated. Does anyone know of an Aperture plugin that can accomplish this workflow? Ubermind's plugin "UberUpload for Aperture" appears to come close, but it doesn't approximate the Project-Name/Folder-Name to directory tree conversion and it doesn't delete files on the destination FTP server, so it doesn't accomplish the unilateral sync I'm looking for.
Are there any other plug-ins I should look at; are there any other plug-ins you know of that might accomplish this task?
Thank you,
George
This is a new question but partially in response to a previous post (here --> http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1586469) that was marked answered.

Hmm, that's a possibility, made a little more difficult by the fact that I don't know how to write Applescript. I understand that it's not too difficult to pick up, but that will add to the time required to figure this out (especially if there's no documentation for calls to Aperture--is there really no documentation?). The simplest way to do this with Applescript would probably be to run a script that exports my library of photographs into a file structure as described above, then runs the sync commands available through YummyFTP, and finally deletes the exported files off my hard drive. The major drawbacks to this approach include the long time required for export (and sync if there are a large number of changes) and the need to have a significant amount of free hard drive space (probably 10 gigs in my case) which could be potentially be a problem if one were running low on disk space.

You cannot change your default location of "Creative Cloud Files" for sync from desktop

So, I'm finding that I am restricted from moving the "Creative Cloud Files" container (for syncing to the cloud from my desktop). It is bound to C:Users/Name and will not move.
This is very saddening and seems like an elementary function that should be included.
I do not want to store things on my small SSD C: drive -- thanks.
Am I missing something here?

Hi Mark,
As per Adobe F.A.Q, I would like to state that :http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html
"Your files remain on your local hard drive. You can also choose to take advantage of the ability to synchronize your local files with your Creative Cloud storage. Even if you choose to sync your files to Creative Cloud, you will always have a local copy of your files."
There are some workarounds, it might work out, you can try it : It is for windows
First, stop the sync and exit the app ( right-click on the Connection icon and click Turn Sync Off, right-click again and choose Exit )
Go to “C:\Users\your user name” folder and locate Creative Cloud Files folder
Move the folder to a different location ( e.g. “D:\Data\Creative Files” ) and make sure that you move complete Creative Cloud Files folder
Run cmd.exe in admin privileges ( type cmd in Start menu, right click on cmd and select Run as administrator )
Type following:
mklink /J “C:\Users\your_user_name\Creative Cloud Folder” “D:\Data\Creative Files”
You should receive message that the junction is created ( refer to this guide if you need more help:Complete Guide to Symbolic Links (symlinks) on Windows or Linux )
Now to test it BEFORE you turn on the Connection app simply copy something to “D:\Data\Creative Files” folder, than go to Creative Cloud Files folder in your users folder and you should see the file you copied
If you are able to see the file, all you have to do is to start the Connection app! Hooray!
This guide should work for Windows 7 and Windows 8.

Selected videos won't sync from Aperture through iTunes to my iPhone 5s

I don't know if this is an iPhone issue, an Aperture issue, or an iTunes issue . . .
I'm using Aperture, on my iMac, and have created albums that contain videos (as well as photos). Some videos are iPhone-created that I imported from my iPhone into Aperture (since iCloud/Photostream does not automatically cloud videos); some videos were created by me in a separate program (iMovie or FCPX) and then down-mixed to put into my Aperture album. I'm trying to sync my Aperture album (not Event, but Album) to my iPhone 5s so that I have an album on my iPhone directly mimicking my Aperture album.
The pictures come over perfectly, sorted by date as they are in Aperture. However, the videos have issues. Most importantly, only the ones originally created by my iPhone come back across to my phone, and in the correct album. Anything that I've created (Final Cut Pro X or iMovie) are not coming through (down-mixed as .mov files).
I do have the "include videos" box checked in iTunes; that only serves to bring over the iPhone-created movies, some of which it dropped into the synced album, some of which it decided to put into my videos album.
Anyone out there have any ideas what I could be doing differently? I'd like all my videos in my Aperture album to come across to my iPhone in the same album.
Second smaller issue is that movies I made on my iPhone 5s in slo-mo, though they imported to Aperture in slo-mo, are syncing back to my iPhone 5s in real time, not slo-mo.
Aperture: 3.5.1
iPhone: 5s, 8.0.2
iMac: 10.9.5
iTunes: 11.4(18)

As a follow-up, I down mixed the video in FCPX using "Apple Devices" 720p. That did not help.

Blurry photos on Everpix (syncing from Aperture)

I'm trying to sync pictures from my Aperture library to everpix.com using their Mac Uploader. However, no matter what I do, every single picture I upload is fuzzy when viewed within the everpix.com website. You can see a screenshot of a duck from the website (right), overlayed with the jpg that was synced with the Mac Uploader (left). The website image is so much fuzzier than the original image that I can't believe anyone isn't complaining about this - I must be doing something wrong.
Every single picture I've uploaded looks like this. I thought maybe it was something wonky with the fact that I was viewing this on a Retina MacBook Pro, but I tried it on my wife's non-retina MacBook and I can still see a difference. If I download the picture to my computer and view it in preview, it's as tac sharp as the original. If I sync my Aperture library with another service like Loom or SmugMug, I do not have this problem - the photos on the website look like they do in preview.
There are no everpix forums or discussion board, so I emailed everpix and got this response: "If you want to compare photo quality, you need to compare with a downloaded full-resolution photo from Everpix (that's of course assuming you synced full-resolution photos to Everpix in the first place)."
I find this hard to believe - I know they have their own image optimization (https://support.everpix.com/entries/23231607) but it shouldn't make all of my photos look blurry and out of focus.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
Thanks!

Photos added to a shared stream will be a lower resolution than the originals in your camera roll but they shouldn't be blurry. If they are, you could try again later to see if it's a server problem. Otherwise, to get the originals from your computer in your camera roll you'll either have to email them to your self, then save them to your camera roll or use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to over your wifi.

Bad Quality in photos sync from Aperture

I have just bought a shiny new imac with Aperture Installed and I've found a problem when syncing projects in Aperture with my iPhone.
What happens is that about a third of all photos I sync appear blurred and pixalated on the iphone even though they are crisp and clear in Aperture. I've tried the unsync and resync 'cure' with no success.
One curious thing though, if I export the project from Aperture into a folder on my hard drive and then sync directly from that ALL of the photos are crisp and clear even the ones which were originally blurred.
As I said this is a new imac and I've never used Aperture before so I wondered if there was something I might be doing wrong or some setting I may have missed, because it seems that the problem is something to do with Aperture but I'm at a loss on how to cure it.

Thank you that solved the problem. I had a feeling it was going to be something I'd missed in the settings but I never would have guessed that it was to do with preview sizes. I'd always assumed it was the master copies that were sync'd.
So thank you one again

Syncing from aperture fail.

I have got a problem during syncing my photos from Aperture to my iPhone.
And later iTunes wrote aperture library is not available. What can I do now?
Thanks.

Are you sure that it isn't how you are viewing them on the iPad? Open Photos on the iPad and note that there are 2 icons at the bottom (Photos & Albums). Have you tried changing that to Albums?

MobileMe gallery switched syncing from Aperture to iPhoto

I had an album on Aperture that synced with MobileMe. Friends added photos via email and via web upload, and all was good. Until one day when the Aperture web album was gone. MobileMe album was still there, but it says (under Info) that it's syncing with iPhoto (which I haven't used in 4 years). So I load up iPhoto and, voila, it starts syncing.
How can I tell MobileMe to sync with original Aperture? This is a real pain.

Actually this is an Aperture issue since this problem only occurs when I export and then import files from aperture into iphoto 08. When I import files off a disk or external compact flash disk directly into iphoto 08 and then upload to the web gallery they retain the same file size yet the files that were brought over from aperture somehow loose there size once they go to the gallery. Interstingly enough the file size of versions brought over from aperture appear to remain in tact in iphoto but drop off once on the web???? Does this have anything to do with Versions as reference files...but if so how does one retain the chaanges made in aperture to a master file and export it to iphoto 08 and then on to the web and still retain some semblance of file size??? Note I already did enable downloading prior to uploading to the gallery.. HELP!

Albums & Events sync from Aperture - why?

I transfer photos via Aperture, where they are contained in Projects and Albums. Most of the time, under the Picture app on the iPad, they are on a page listed as Albums.
Sometimes, though, they are listed under a page called Events.
Does anyone know why is this, why is there is not consistency?

I should have gotten back here earlier.
I think it was operator error, in part.
First, though, for no reason I can figure out, Projects from Aperture would occasionally come across to the iPad as Events, rather than Albums. My work-around: If there are any Projects that end up as Events, create a new Project, remove the photos from the old Project, and put them into the new one. Then try to transfer photos again.
I also had trouble getting photos out of what I thought were sub-albums into Album on my iPad. These photos would show up in an Event folder on the iPad. I think the problem may have been that I created folders rather than albums. Folders seem to transfer to the iPad as Events, while Albums transfer as Albums. So it might be operator error - make sure than photos in Aperture are being transferred out of Projects or albums, and not out of folders.

I am trying to use the new plug-in for import from aperture. But the "import" button always disappears ... any help out there?

Hi there
I have up-dated LR to the latest version and like to use the plug-in for the import from the Aperture library. I follow the steps suggested by an article, have saved all picture into separate folders (folder = project name) and still, after the analysis of the library, the "import" button disappears and I am stuck and can't import.
Any ideas what can be done/must be done to get this working?
Regards
Diethard

I am having the same issue, i've selected my Aperture library, and the "import" button does not activate. Any idea how to fix?

My iPod Air doesn't sync from Aperture properly.

I can sync up to 5000 pictures without problems. If I go for a full sync(35,000 pictures), the sync gets interrupted, all existing photos from iPad are being deleted, and there is an error message saying that my iPad could not be synced because the sync was not completed (haha). I have tried all remedies, e.g., deleted the cache, repaired my picture library, overinstalled Mountain Lion, and newly set up my iPad. Usually, the procedure then works, but only once. Any repeat from there produces the same failures. I'm desperate and very disappointed. I expressly bought the 126 giga device to carry all my photos. Anybody knows a fix, or is it simply an Apple bug?

Sync from aperture

i have some albums that i sync to AppleTV, iPhone, and iPod.
recently, i added some shots to one of those albums, but they do not sure up on the devices. the photo sync window in iTunes shows the album, but does not have the correct number of images.
this is happening with just some images and i can't determine what about them is causing this. i have shot some new images and this does not happen with them.
what could cause iTunes to fail to "see" these images in the album??

I had the same issues and I think I have solved it. At least for smart folders within Aperture.
Basically, if you have smart folders that you are syncing with iPhoto, please make sure that you don't have any filtering enabled on the search criteria on the top right section of Aperture. The filtering should be done only within the Smart Folder filter section else the other apps seems to get confused.
Removing filter at the top right solved the issue for me.

Which program for sync from ZV:M P

I was using Monkey Media to manage my MP3 files that were transfered from the ZV:M. I deleted all files on my PC for a fresh start to correct for errors. Now the Creative sync manager won't recognize the files. I read the following in the FAQ:
---Unfortunately, synchronization seems to ignore changed/edited ID3 tags.
I was hoping that the free version of Monkey Media supported transfer from DAP to PC but that feature isn't available from what I see.
Are there any free programs that will allow me to transfer the 25 GB of MP3 files that I have stranded on my Zen?

Pay for the latest MM program, it is worth the money. It syncs my Zen Xtra a treat and drag and drop works, it also looks up tags and rips CDs. What else could you want?

Pictures synced from Aperture degraded in expanded view which appears to have happened after latest OS update.

It looks like some kind of compression error being not optimized for New iPad to view at 100%. I had no problem viewing 36MP pictures fully expanded in my iPad before the latest OS update. Any New iPad users out there experienced the same issue?

see. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/thunderbird-cant-be-opened-after-you-install-it-ma I wonder if the issues are related.
