Q: aperture can not finish importing pictures?

Hi there!

 

I've been trying to import some pics from a SD card to Aperture, but the import never finished. Even when i quit importing and took off the card and it still showed that its "importing" but the pics were all blurry.

I tried importing a pic from my desktop to aperture and it does the same thing (shows it's importing but never finishes).

 

Besides, before all this importing problem, the Aperture app wasn't quiting at all and it didn't even let me to shut down my mac.

 

 

I recently formated my mac, reinstalled the newest version of Aperture.

 

Max OS X Lion

 

 

If anyone had the same problem or know how to fix it please let me know.

 

 

Thanks,

    I'd suggest you make some tests, to narrow down the problem:

    • Can you import from a different Card?
    • Can you import, if you only select one of the images to import maybe one of the images on the card is corrupted)?
    • Can you import images at all? From the Desktop?
    • Is it only a special image  format, that you cannot import? Raw, jpeg?
    • Can you import into iPhoto or Image Capture?
    • Can you import, when you launch Aperture from a different user account?
    • Have you any import-plug-ins installed?

     

    What format are you importing - raw or jpeg? Are there also videos on the card? And what is the make of the camera?
