I somehow lost the new flickr upload functionality in Aperture 3. I deactivated the upload functionality in the flickr settings for a while. Now – when trying to use flickr upload in Aperture – nothing happens. The button is not deactivated, but simply nothing happens… no pop window, no question if I would like to allow flickr to use Aperture, nothing.

I might have deactivated something in the flickr apps meanwhile (I cannot remember), but now in the flickr app settings there is nothing about Aperture.

The Aperture 3 FLICKR tool certainly lacks a few features …. I am still switching back to 32 bit to use an alternate GPS plug in.

Separately, I am pretty confused by the gpx geotagging in Aperture. Why do I have to place one of the photos? It should just synch the time on my gpx file and my camera.

The whole idea of auto getagging is so I don’t have to guess where the photo was taken. Seems a terrible implementation.

It actually includes them, but the picture still can’t be viewed on a map. Check “more properties” to see EXIF information, scroll down – there they are.

What you have to do is set up flickr. Go to “Your account” > “Import EXIF location data”. Check the box to use embedded EXIF data. I had to upload my pictures again, as this seems to be done upon importing.

Grüess us England!

Connor, thanks for the hint. I did not bother with the web tab in Aperture 3 preferences because I got an error message saying “Your MobileMe account configuration is not correct.” But you are correct, checking this checkbox works for flickr too! I’ll stand corrected on that. I still haven’t managed to upload any photos into an existing flickr set or collection though. Aperture always creates a new one even if I enter the name of an existing one. At one point Aperture 3 even crashed while playing with the options in the web tab.

Cheers,
Jan

Did you enable the “Include location information for published photos” checkbox in Aperture preferences, under the “Web” tab? That would probably do the trick.

Hi !

I have the same problem but have a look to that :

Web Publishing
Publish to Flickr
Publish directly to your Flickr account from Aperture. If you’ve added locations to photos, Aperture includes the GPS information, so photos are automatically mapped on Flickr. Published albums can be automatically updated as you add, remove or edit photos.
