When importing iPad photos into Aperture, I cannot import into an existing album, only create a new project.

I dont want to create a new project for every group of photos being brought over from my iPad. My iPhone worked perfectly. I was able to choose which project/album I could import into, why would the iPad, running the same iOS, be any different?

Hi Dave,
Welcome to the user-support Aperture discussion forum.
You would probably benefit from reading Kirby's introduction: [http://discussions.apple.com/messageview.jspa?messageID=13124533&stqc=true]
Is there any way to simply import photos into those albums without having to create all of those annoying projects?
That's a loaded question. It's not "yes or no" according to exactly how you asked it.
You do not have to create a new project for each import, but every picture lives in exactly 1 project. You can then point to any photo from any number of albums. You cannot put a photo directly into an album because an album does not contain photos, it only contains "pointers" to photos.
So, you, as the user, have the ability to put your imports into an existing project. Why are you creating a new project every time?

  • I am importing videos from my canon sl1 to my macbook when i use iphoto is says "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." and when i use image capture it says "An error occured while importing. The item 'MVI_1040

    I am importing videos from my canon sl1 to my macbook air when i use iphoto is says "iPhoto cannot import your photos because there was a problem downloading an image." and when i use image capture it says "An error occured while importing. The item ‘MVI_1040'' Thanks in advance

    Can you access the images on the phone with Image Capture (in the Applications Folder) ?

  • 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.

    You need to transfer the iTunes Library from the most recent backup you made before the hard drive was replaced.
    You can't transfer the full iTunes Library from the iPad back to iTunes.
    There are third-party Windows applications that will transfer data from an iOS device, but they don't re-create the iTunes Library exactly as it was before.

  • I imported my photos from an external hard drive into Lightroom, edited my photos but what next...?!

    Adobe,
    I imported my photos from an external hard drive into Lightroom, edited my photos and when i decided to export them the originals had not been updated and the deleted photos had not been deleted. How do i set it up so that once i import the photos, edit them and export they are then placed back in their original folder edited and updated?
    I have managed to export the photos to another file but these were exported with an Adobe.xmp file. What is this and is this necessary?
    Thanks for your help!

    It's important to realise that LR is a DAM (Digital Asset Management) application - no images are actually imported into LR only links to where they are. Secondly, the details of any edits that you make to your images are kept only in the database and/or xmp files depending how you set this up in Preferences. In the general workflow e.g. edit in Lightroom, further edit in Photoshop and returning to LR then creating xmp files aren't really necessary. So just to emphasise - edits are stored in the LR's database, the original RAW images themselves don't change (non destructive editing). You can prove this yourself by desaturating an image (turning it into a B+W) and then look at the original images in Explorer - you'll see it's still being shown in colour.
    Exporting an image is something different. By implication, you've finished with the image and perhaps want to save an image for posting on the web somewhere. Now assuming your not using any additonal and freely available LR export plug-ins, one way would be to Export a jpeg image to a folder on the desktop and this is allowed for in the Export dialogue. At this time LR reads any edits from it's database and applies those to the exported jpeg (or tiff) file it's going to send to the folder on the desktop.
    As mentioned earlier, any edits and keywords etc are stored in LR's database - original RAW files remain untouched. XMP files also store the edits if LR is set up to create xmp files (in Preferences) but these are not really necessary unless you are going to be editing an already edited RAW file in another application. As an example - you import into LR's library a scanned negative. Now because strictly speaking LR isn't designed to work with negative images, you now open this file via Bridge into ACR and from here reverse the negative into a positive image. All fine and good except when you go back into LR what's shown is still a negative so what is needed is to update the metadata (LR > Metadata > Read Metadata from file) which will force LR to read the newly created metadata from the xmp file that Bridge generated. As already suggested, if you're happy editing your RAW files in LR and only LR then xmp files aren't really necessary - all the data being saved in LR's database.
    Hope this has been of some help but if I might also suggest, purchasing a good book on LR from the outset thus getting to really know LR will pay dividends further on down the line.

    My iPad has been hacked I cannot get into hotmail through mail also I get the apple message ,incorrect password even though this is correct what can I do

    From your description it sounds like your Hotmail account was compromised. Does anyone else know the password and could they have changed it?

  • Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import. Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    Why is it impossible to import pics into existing projects in Aperture 3.6 ? It forces me to create a new project on every import.
    Tried to change that in preferences but no luck.

    It is working for me.  Two ways to import into an existing project:
    Select a project and view it in the browser in split view. If you drag image files from a folder directly into the filmstrip, the dragged image files will be added to that project.
    Or select a project in the library, before you open the Import panel. Then you can switch the destination project in the Import Settings  from "new Project" to the selected project.
    Have you tried these methods? Where does it not work for you?

  • Dragging images into Aperture (without creating a new Project)

    Hi All.
    I am trying to pump out a slideshow and I am (in some cases) dragging an image from a desktop folder into a ALBUM in Aperture in which I want the photo. This Album is in a FOLDER with the name of the slideshow along with a number of other Albums in which I am organizing data for this project.
    Aperture is creating a new Project in this folder every time I do this. They are labeled "Untitled Project", "Untitled Project(1)" etc. If I delete the Projects then the image is deleted from the Album that I want it in.
    Is there a convenient solution for this? In some cases the image is already in Aperture but I don't have the time to go hunting for it and in fact it may not be int there.
    Can I somehow create a "Dump Project" that will accept all these new images so that I don't clutter up the space with all the new Projects? Would I do this by dragging and dropping the individual images that are in each of these Projects to the Dump Project?
    Any advice that doesn't involve switching out horses would be really welcome.
    Thanks in advance!
    - Jon

    You can't import to an Album, only to a project. Every pic in the Library is in a project. It has to be. If you drag to an Album it will make new project to hold the file. So, don't drag to an Album, make a project and drag to that.

  • When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When I go to create a new project in imovie using the iPhone 5, I am not able to see any of my video clips or photos that are saved on the device.

    When you move or copy the compound clips with their events into an external drive all the events should be there. Not clear on why you want to move them into a single event. You can drag and drop from one event to another.
    Why are you using compound clips? You can simply copy the project from each machine with used media onto the external drive and that should do it.

  • When i create a new project, my application cannot find textLayout_1.0.595, is this a bug??

    hey guys, so this is the second time this has happened, im not sure what i did the first time to fix the error but when i create a new project and create a textinput box in there, i get the following error,
    "SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file:///Users/tkanagala/web projects/flex 4/podcast/bin-debug/podcast.swf cannot access local resource file:///Users/tkanagala/web%20projects/flex%204/podcast/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.sw f. Only local-with-filesystem and trusted local SWF files may access local resources."
    any ideas why??

    I get the same error.  This isn't something you should have to update a policy file for - it seems like a flash builder error in the way it generates the library swf.  The steps I took were:
    - create a new application
    - type some basic demo app code or paste in code.  In my situation I pasted in some charting examples from the docs (appended to the end)
    - click "run"
    - the error appears:
    SecurityError: Error #2148: SWF file file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/ChartingTests.swf cannot access local resource file://localhost/Users/rj.owen/Documents/ProjectFiles/TIAA-CREF/code/tiaa-eii/production/ ChartingTests/bin-debug/textLayout_1.0.0.595.swf.

  • Aperture crashes when I try to create a new project

    Hello all, having an odd problem with Aperture crashing when I try to create a new project.
    I suspect the problem is likely related to the library file's permissions, as I was previously working with this library as another user (stopped using the account because of issues solved by too many fonts being installed).
    The problem occurs when I finish naming the project and hit enter, so presumably when Aperture attempts to save the new project into the library file.
    Any ideas?

    Ha i figured as much...
    Thanks for the help. Wish i could just update I movie!!!!

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)
