Software :: How Can I Sync From One To The Other Aperture
Oct 1, 2009
Does anyone know how to synch Aperture libraries. That is have the same aperture libraries on an iMac and MacBook. My Aperture on the macbook is 1.5 and the machine is running 10.4.11 and the iMac 24" is running 10.6 with Aperture 2. I originally exported the library from the macbook and inserted into the library folder of the iMac. This library was then upgraded automatically to be compatible with Aperture 2. But now... how can I synch from one to the other, and vice-versa. Or am I expecting too much?
Actually I am not a Professional User, but I like the possibilites of the RAW format and how Aperture handled it. And there was a good integration within the Apple world, I could easily stream photos from Aperture to Apple TV and sync them with an iPad without using any cloud s**t.
I had a look on Lightroom now, and it seems like sync is only possible by using a "creative cloud"? I don't want to upload all my photos to any Apple/Adobe/NSA server and will never do this, so is there any way to do a local sync to have these photos on my iPad as album in photos? What's about the new "Photos" App, can it handle RAW (without doing a conversion to jpeg first of all, like iPhoto does) and can it still sync locally?
Can I stream photos from Lightroom to AppleTV directly? Or is it a good time now to buy something more open like Chromecast? Can I access Lightroom Albums via the file open dialog? When I order prints or create a photobook I have access to iPhote and Aperture Albums, but I believe that other solutions are not available via file system.
I really don't like the way Apple is going. If you like to do anything more as upload some photos from you 99$ digtial cam to facebook, Apple is not the solution anymore. And what I read is the Lightroom isn't really stable on Apple Hardware, everywhere I read that Lightroom on Windows is better a million times compared to the Mac Version.
So for some reason, under the photos tab in iTunes, when I try to sync one of my projects from Aperture 3, it shows only 8 out of 233 photos in the actual aperture project beside the project name.
What is going on?
I am using the latest iTunes 9, and the newest version of Aperture 3
I've noticed that my Photo Stream is not updated after I've made significant edits to my photos in Aperture. If this is not working as intended, is there something I must do to have my Photo Stream updated after I've edited it? If it is just not an implemented feature, would this be something you could implement in the future. I'd rather have my edited pictures show up on my iPad, iPhone, and Apple TV when I'm showing pictures to my friends, than the raw photos that I simply uploaded into Aperture.
Since the latest update, iTunes now only syncs the master images from my aperture library. this seems to be specific to photos edited after updating to Mac OSX 10.7.4. Have tried unsyncing and resyncing. Happens on both my iPhone 4s and iPad 2. Info: iPhone 4S, Mac OS X (10.7.4)
I noticed that Aperture 3 is priced really, REALLY low on the Mac App Store. So I made the decision to buy it. But... I already have Aperture 2 installed. So what happens when I buy Aperture 3? Does it recognize that I have Aperture 2 installed, and upgrade it, or will it install Aperture 3 alongside Aperture 2?
I have a Nokia N78 cellphone which I can sync to my Macbook Pro using iSync. This works fine for photos, iCal, contacts but I what I would like to do is to be able to back up and view my sms on my Mac. Does anybody know if there is anyway of achieving this (free if possible)? If not, can anybody recommend a phone (other than the obvious iPhone) that has this syncing capability with Macs? I am looking to update my phone soon anyway.
A year ago I tested Spanning Sync for syncing my iCal with Google calendar. It worked out very well and I subscribed for one year (25 USD). Now there is version 2 around the corner that will add contact sync support. I have tried the beta and that works very well too.
My subscription is to end soon and I am thinking about extending. That would be another 25 USD for a year or 65 USD for life long subscription. Meanwhile I encountered another product called Busy Sync. I does almost the same (except contact syncing). With a coupon a single license per computer is 20 USD aka 40 USD for both of my macs.
I use iCloud for syning Mail & Notes. Contacts, Calendars and Documents & Data. I am 100% sure that in the past in iTunes/Info tab "Sync contacts" and "Sync Mail Accounts" showed all my different Address Book groups and different email account to be synced. Since recently they seem disappeared and I only see my different Calendars to be synced. Why are both Sync contacts empty and Sync Mail Accounts both emtpy/dimmed. BTW if I check Sync contacts I get a message that they are synced through iCloud etc. etc. Now if I enable on my Mac another email account in Apple Mail it is not added to my iPhone/iPad anymore. How can I change that ?

Anyone currently using Aperture on the 2.4MBP? I went to the Apple store yesterday to scope out the performance but all they had on display were the 2.6mp models. It ran great on those machines, but wonder what the performance is like on the base model.
I just got my new MBP and I ve installed aperture on it and when I open it it says: "this version of aperture wont work on this version of OS" I ve bought it a year ago for like $60 from my apple campus store and its the academic version.
What in the world is Apple doing lately? One ****** up after another... Aperture 3.1 won't open. It crashes every single time. I repaired the permissions, deletede the preferences and nothing!
After running the latest release of updates today (ilife, raw camera, etc.) Aperture 2.2.1 (whatever the latest release) no longer sees all of my photos - about half of my projects are missing from the Aperture program itself, however they are still in the library as I can get to them in finder.
I've downloaded the trials of Aperture and Lightroom and have them both installed. I'm playing around with them trying to figure out which one will be best for me. I'm not a pro photographer or anything, but I don't like iPhoto because of the way it deals with events. I like to have hierarchies for my picture folders but apparently iPhoto will only allow you to have one level of events.
So, I understand that Aperture has you choose between the masters being managed in the Aperture library file or have them be referenced on disk. My main concern is that I want to be able to pull all of my master files out of Aperture and preserve my old folder hierarchy structure. Every time I try to export files (even from multiple folders), Aperture exports them all into one huge folder rather than preserving the folder structure. Is there any way to do this?
I use iPhoto to import CR2 files from an EOS. So far, everything worked great and all my current raw-photos in the iPhoto library are presented without problems. After installing Photoshop CS4, nothing worked, neither in Preview.app nor in iPhoto.app or Aperture.app, they don't support opening raw-files anymore. Ok, IPhoto shows the former imported ones but when I try to import new photos from Cam or Disk, there is the following message: "The following file could not be imported. (The file is in an unrecognized format.)". I even reinstalled iPhoto and Aperture, that maybe the raw driver are refreshed or settings corrected, but nothing happened.
I'm trying to optimize for her workflow which currently has about a 600gb aperture library and 5 picture a day edits in photoshop. All new files will be coming from a 5dmkII RAW.
I just purchased my first DSLR camera, a Canon 550D with a 18-55 IS and a 70-200 F4 IS USM. I bought Aperture to manage those pictures, and was wondering what to do with iPhoto.
Currently, I use iPhoto for all my photos, and have a sync with my iPhone.
I would like to know how you use Aperture and iPhoto on the same computer.
- should I put everything on Aperture, what would I lose if I do that ?
- should I keep iPhoto for my casual pictures (taken with my Panasonic FX-55), and Aperture for the photos taken with my DSLR camera ?
- if I import the iPhoto pics into Aperture, what should I copy them all on Aperture, should I just use the iPhoto database, or should I delete the iPhoto database after I import everything on Aperture ?
I would like to upgrade my Aperture 1.0 to version 2.0. Apple advices to have version 1.5 in order to upgrade to version 2.0. Non-Apple vendors selling their product as upgrade from 1.0-1.5. Who is right?
Once I upgrade to version 2.0 is 2.1.1 patch is free of charge? Does OS X 10.6.1 runs with Aperture 2.0 or Aperture 2.1.1 or both?
I am in the process of upgrading from OSX 10.6.8 to OSX 10.9.3 and from Aperture 3.2.3 to 3.5.1 (using managed library on an external drive) on an iMac and MacBook Pro. I have two Aperture vaults on separate portable USB drives. The first time I run the new Aperture it will require updating file formats. My question is what do I do about updating the vaults after Aperture has updated the library? When I first update the current vaults in 3.5.1 will it also update the vaults to the 3.5.1 formats or will I have to create new vaults for 3.5.1?
