Q: aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie

My library in Aperture is not showing up on iWeb or iMovie. All that shows up is iPhoto which I dont have much on there so right now my temp fix is transferring the photos I need to iPhoto and then using but shouldnt Aperture integrate the same way.

Aperture 3, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

It definitely should. Have you set Aperture to always share Previews with the iLife and iWorks Appications?

Aperture main menu -> Aperture -> Preferences -> The Previews Tab

Set this to "Share previews with iLife and iWorks", also to "New Projects automatically generate previews" and select a reasonable preview size, the size of your screen would be perfect.

 

If you already had sharing enabled, update the previews:    Photos -> Update Previews

or  Photos -> Delete Previews, and then "Update"

 

If this did not help, you may have a problem, that the Media Browser does not recognize your Library:

 

  • Create a new (temporary) Aperture Library:   File -> Switch to Library -> Other/new
  • Then Quit Aperture, open Aperture again,
  • Switch to your old Library:  File -> Switch to Library ->  Your main Aperture Library
  • Quit Aperture again.

Hopefully the iApps now will show Aperture.

 

If not, maybe there are problems with your Preferences or the Library needs fixing: Then go thru the drill of the Trouble Shooting basics:

If this does not help, report back.

 

 

Good luck

    Creating a new temp library is what worked everything before that you suggested was already correct in my settings.

     

    Thanks you.
