When I imported my photos from iPhoto to Aperture, I appear to have lost all my keywords. Can I retrieve them and, if so, how?

How did you import them?
Keywords are preserved if you use either the Import iPhoto Library or Show iPhoto Browser methods.

I have connected my ipod to another computer and when I synced it I lost all my music, can I retrieve them and if so how do I do this

I had to connect my ipod to another computer but when I synced it to the new computer I lost all my music, can I retrieve my music and if so how

You can redownlod iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
For other music you will have to get it from where yo originally obtained it.

When I import selected photos from iPhoto I am getting double images in Aperture...why???

Does anyone know why I am getting double images when I import from iPhoto to Aperture?

I found this under Aperture help:
Sometimes you get two copies of an image imported from iPhoto, and the pair is stacked. Though this might surprise you, the reason is very simple. Whenever you edit in iPhoto, it preserves the original and makes the changes to a copy. When you import to Aperture, you get both the original and the copy from iPhoto.
If you want the originals only, here's a quick way to remove the copies by using the "iPhoto-edited" keyword:
Click any image in the project to select it.
Choose Edit > Select All.
Choose Stacks > Unstack.
In the browser's search box (to the right of the magnifying glass), type: iPhoto-edited
This will cause only iPhoto-edited images to appear in the Browser. Now you can relocate or delete them as you please.
Note: If you have manually edited the contents of the iPhoto Library or have used any third-party software that sub-manages or attempts to minimize the size of the iPhoto Library (by deleting originals, for example) then you need to exercise caution. Rather than delete the files immediately, consider temporarily storing them in another project until you're sure you have everything you want to keep in the main project.
Good luck.

Iphoto froze when downloading update, have lost all pictures. Can I retrieve?

I'm being told to re-download iphoto from ilife - but won't this mean I have lost all my valued pictures? Why does downloading new updates cause so many problems? When I tried to update my iphone to IoS5 it froze the phone and I lost all my contacts, messages and info. Unbelievably I then couldn't retrieve from my backup as it demanded a password and, despite hundreds of attempts to input it, I was told by Apple tech support that there are big problems with iphone backup passwords. They admitted that they can't help with passwords as the Mac and iphone generate new passwords every time you charge your phone on another machine that not your own. HEEEELP.

1 - reloading iPhoto does not affect your photos - they are in teh iPhoto library
2 - even if you have a problem you surely always have a good backup - if you don't you are guaranteed to lost your photos and all other files sooner or later
3 - If you have iphone and IOS 5 questions teh iPhone forum is a great place to ask
You question is not clear and rambles so I am not sure if this really answers it or not - if it does not please ask a specific question about iPhoto including details of errors you get

Cannot import .jpe photos from iPhoto to Aperture. Help!

I have just installed Aperture 2.1.2 trial version to explore if it will serve my purposes. However, when I tried to import my iPhoto library, approximately 2000 photos were said to be in an unsupported file format. It turns out that these are all the photos taken by my Konica Minolta 7D camera, which downloaded to iPhoto just fine as .jpe files (Minolta uses this file extension to indicate jpeg photos with embedded colour info--AdobeRGB in this instance).
I am more than a bit taken aback that a file format that works fine in iPhoto appears to not work in Aperture.
Does anyone have any suggestions about how to deal with this? If Aperture cannot cope with my KM 7D images, than I guess the trial is over.
Grateful for any help or advice from the community.
Thanks!

I'm not sure about reversing the process you've described, but you can set up the equivalent structure (make albums in place of your iPhoto events) and use iTunes to synch your iPhone to Aperture instead of iPhoto. If you've decided to do your main work in Aperture this would perhaps be the best way forward.

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture....

When importing photos from iphoto to Aperture 3 it shows two versions of each image. One is original and one is iphoto edited. It shows this for every picture even if it was never edited in iphoto. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is so, what image should I use to edit in iphoto?

This is asked and covered a lot here, a search of the list will bring up numerous other threads covering this. Also the More Like This box on the right side of the page will show you other posts on this topic.
This post, Duplicates when importing from iPhoto is the most recent example.
Briefly iPhoto took even the most trivial change to an image as an edit and created a new image. The most common reason for this is rotated images.
As for which image of the two you want to keep, that's entirely up to you. If there is really no difference between the two then you can keep either it makes no difference.
The thread I linked to above will explain how to use Aperture's filters to gather up all of one or the other.

When I import my photos from my iPhone 4S into iPhoto the location does not appear. I have to open the info button on the photo click "photo place" then "find on map" and then the location appears. How to I get the location to appear automatically?

in your iPhoto preferences is look up location set to "automaticaly"?

When I imported my photos to iphoto 11 from an external drive they were no longer chronologically organized in folders by year & month. In fact, it changed the dates & years of the files so I can't even manually organize them.

When I imported my photos to iphoto 11 from an external drive they were no longer chronologically organized in folders by year & month. Instead, they all went into one folder within a 2011 folder. In fact, it randomly changed the dates & years of all the files so I can't even manually organize them now.

Are you sure that iPhoto is the app for you?
iPhoto is designed to help you organise your Photos, but you seemed focussed on organising files.
The idea is simple: organise them as you want in the iPhoto Window. As I said above, as you never access the files on the HD then how iPhoto stores them is of no relevance. (It's by date of import BTW).
Where are you seeing these changed dates? In the iPhoto Window ? Somewhere else?

HT3412 I recently moved all my photos from iphoto to Aperture. I had several iphoto books and cards in my project file. When everything was moved to Aperture I can't find any of the books or card projects. Are they gone or can they be restored?

1 - without specifics I have no idea how to help
2 - the question was "are you trying to use them in iPhoto? " - it sounds like you are - to do so you will have to export them from Aperature and import into iPhoto
3 - for information on how to use them in Aperature then you need to ask about how to use Aperature in the Aperature forum as it does not involve iPhoto

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 into Aperture v3.0

I am trying to import my photos from iphoto 11 v9.4.3 into Aperture v3.0. When I select import I get a message saying Aperture cannot import libraries from version earlier that iphoto 7.1.5 and tells me to upgrade to a lter version of iphoto. Advice ?

I am on MAC OS X Version 10.8.5
Is Aperture 3.0 still correct or have you upgraded to Aperture 3.4.5? Only Aperture 3.4.5 can import iPhoto 9.4.3 libraries.
As I said above, you can download the updater for Aperture here:
Use this link: Aperture 3.4.5

Importing edited photos from iPhoto

What settings do I need to change in order to import only my edited versions of photos from iPhoto into aperture 3?

thanks for the reply,
I certainly understand your point of course.
Well, I thought since they were already in iPhotos original library, why have them saved twice. I do understand that they would be easily retrieved and used if in Aperture for sure. However, I guess when Aperture imports them or iPhoto exports them to Aperture, they are sent with edited version along with the original. I then figured out how to use the stacks in Aperture. I was going to make a slideshow and noticed that when I pressed the slide show that it was adding both the edited and orignal version to the slide show, so all I had to do was to close all Stacks and it worked as I wanted.
But I quess I would like to know if there are now two versions of the originals taking up space on my HDs, one in iPhotos library and one in Aperture. I have 16,000 photos and want to save space on my hard drives. So the next question would be what happens to the orignal library in iPhoto when you export your iPhoto library into Apertures library?
Thanks,

When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie

When I insert a photo from iPhoto in an iMovie video, it´s another photo that is displayed in the movie.
I´ve tried to end iMovie, shut down the MacBook Pro, but the same problem happens again.

Hi
BUT
This can take times ! - I mean several Hours ! !
Last time I did this it took > 20 Hours (INTEL i7 4x4 processors - 2.2GHz)
AND - remember to connect Your MacBook (or laptop) to Mains-adaptor - as battery might run out !
Still - there is no alternative route to this (repair of iPhoto Library) suggested by Karsten !

Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

Since i upgraded to Yosemite, when importing photos to iPhoto, they no longer appear in the 'events' summary in library. Why is this and how can i amend?

The events may be incorrectly sorted. Try to sort the events by date, while in "Events" view.
Go to the "View" menu: Sort Photos > By Date > Descending. That should bring the most recent events to the top of the list.
