Q: I can't import from my iPhone into Aperture anymore

Since upgrading last night to 10.10.3 and running the new Photos app, I'm unable to import from my iPhone into Aperture. My iPhone does not show up in the Import pane. Anybody else seeing this? or am I missing something?

G4 Dual 1.25, Mac OS X (10.4)

    Launch iTunes, then connect your iPhone to USB.The iPhone will prompt you, if you trust this computer. Confirm that you trust it.

     

    Then try again to import to Photos.

    It is the same reason. I am seeing the same in Aperture, iPhoto, and Photos.

     

    I had to trust my Mac when syncing my iPhone and my iPad after the update to iOS 8.3.

     

    If Photos launches, quit it, and then the iPhone should appear in Aperture's Import panel.

    I got the import into Aperture working, sort of. My iPhone only shows up in Aperture when I also insert my Compact Flash card from my Nikon camera into my Firewire connected Compact Flash reader.

    I think Apple has given the big scr3w you to Aperture users.

     

    iOS: Unable to import photos to computer - Apple Support

     

    This is from April 7th. It says we need to use Image Capture to get photos into Aperture. Even though there are still preference options as to what to do when a camera is inserted - opening Aperture being still available.

     

    Is this a bug -- and is it a bug they don't care about because we're supposed to use Photos now?

     

    This adds another couple steps to get photos into Aperture (Photos is not a suitable replacement, and I purchased Aperture and can't purchase another app).

    I agree that Apple screwed Aperture users. I don't understand why. Over the last few years, Apple has dumbed down some applications which makes those apps much less useful. Then they slowly start adding some functions back in for a couple of years then nothing. Look at Pages. It still is missing features that the old pages had.

     

    Apple should have simply given Aperture to everybody and maybe implemented a Simple User function for those people that don't need professional features. Here was an app ready to go and what does Apple do? Get rid of Aperture to come up with a "toy" replacement, as somebody on these discussion boards mentioned. I'm very disappointed in Apple and the direction that some of these apps are taking. I used to enthusiastically push Apple products to everybody but now I mind my own business. It's a sad state of affairs. The whole quality has gone down. All this reminds me of Apple before Steve Jobs took over. Somebody needs to crack the whip over there and focus on quality and useful apps AND listen to the users.

    Very true, but unfortunately, there is a difference: Apple is obscenely rich nowadays, and making money like no one else on earth.

    In other words: they don't give a ****.
