I had the same problem. On the folders on the drive with the Aperture library did show in the Import panel. After I clicked the computer icon in the upper left corner of the Import panel, suddenly all drives appeared.

You can also try to drag the folder you want to import into the Import panel, to point the file chooser to the drive.

How is your external hard drive formatted? Is the file system MacOS Extended (Journaled)? Is it directly connected using USB or Thunderbolt, or a network volume?


Where are you looking for the external drives? I am seeing the additional drives only in the file chooser panel, not in the upper left corner of the Import panel.
