I mean I can play this videos to my iPad if I will transfer it using iPad camera kit.

But using aperture to sync it, then theres a problem. How this happens?

That I understood - but the sync from Aperture goes via the Media Browser to iTunes, and we need to know if the problem is at the iTunes end (why the incompatibility message) or in the Aperture Library or in the Media Brower?

Why risk repairing your Aperture Library, if really iTunes cannot sync those movies?

where can I find this Aperture icon


How do you usually lauch Aperture? The program is in your "Applications" folder. Click on the icon in this folder.

Or don't you know how to open the "Applications" folder in MacOS X 10.7.3?


Click somewhere an empty spot on your Desktop and press the key combination Shift-Command-A. This will open the "Applications" folder. Then hold down Command(⌘)-option (⌥) at the same time and double click Aperture.

😟 After syncing for a day I find the following:

  • I can sync movies between Aperture and iPodTouch/iPad, but not the videos as imported directly from my LumixFZ28. The problem really is the video format, not any corruption of the library.
  • All videos preprocessed by Quicktime and shared to iTunes as iPad/AppleTV or iPhone format do sync properly with the Mobile devices.


When you import directly from the camera to the iPad there is probably some implicit format conversion.

I wish I could have found a solution, but no. You will have to continue to import directly to your iPad or bite the bullet and convert the video - a lot of work, I know.

So it's really Aperture problem.

It's an iTunes Problem - iTunes initializes the data transfer and decides what it compatible and what not. I never noticed, because I usually do not keep the raw videos in Aperture. I cut them in iMovie and use the stabilizer before I send them to iTunes.
