Aperture and iTunes not agreeing on how old a project is http://community.theapertureblog.com/discussion/17/aperture-and-itunes-not-agreeing-on-how-old-a-project-is Wed, 04 Apr 2012 04:13:16 -0700 hairydalek 17@/discussions I am using Aperture 3.2.3, iTunes 10.6.1(7) on a Mac Pro running Lion. All software is up to date, and I have an iPad 3 64GB.

In Aperture, I have projects dating back to 2002, when they were iPhoto projects. I’ve been using Aperture since version 1, and earlier projects are iTunes imported ones. All projects created by Aperture are contemporary to when the photos were taken, and are generally names with the date. Older projects are arranged in an Archives folder to keep the list down. So a rough outline of how things look in Aperture:

Projects Folder

Archives Folder

2005 Folder

2005-5-10 - Project

…

2010 Folder

2010-03-04 Project

2011 Folder

2011-05-10 - Project

2012 Folder

2012-02-04 - Project

You get the picture. Obviously there are a lot more folders and projects than this - I have thousands of photos in Aperture. Projects named 2005 were created in 2005.

When I come to sync the iPad using iTunes, I have a number of options. The most sensible one would be to use the Selected Projects & Folders and select “Projects from the last 12 Months” option in the drop down:

However, when I do this, iTunes selects almost every project going right back to 2002. As you can see from the screen shot, this is a about 8900 photos. The majority of these photos are clearly not from “within the last 12 months”.

So, my problem is this - why is iTunes doing this, and how do I get it to just select projects from the last 12 months to sync?

All the projects selected for syncing have creation dates near their labelled time - so a project with 2005 in it would be created around 2005. Aperture is doing all the file organisation - the images are all in the Aperture library bundle in ~/Pictures

I have a really nagging issue that I can't seem to get fixed. Whenever I export an image from Aperture, the sharpening edits Ive made is ignored. All other editing is applied, except sharpening.

What am I doing wrong?
