Importing, Can't Select Aperture, Greyed Out

sv650kd
Well, I'm trying to be a new user, but I can't get past the first step!

I tried to import from Aperture but I can't select it. Aperture is greyed out. Any suggestions?

    Importing an Aperture Library (File menu > Import Catalog > Aperture Library) is only available when you have opened a Capture One catalog. In case you have opened a session, this options is greyed out.

    More information on importing catalogs/libraries can be found here:

    In addition to Paul's observations - are you running a trial and are you running it as Capture One Pro (NOT one of the other options.)

    Paul, I hadn't opened a catalog, but I just created one (called, imaginatively, "Import from Aperture") but Aperture is still greyed out. So is Photo, which I hadn't noticed before. I think my photos already migrated to Photo, so I should go there. But I still can't.

    I also tried to import from a disk drive that I used to back up my previous computer, the one that actually had Aperture on it. All programs also greyed out there.

    Any further guidance?

    Grant, I am working from a trial version, but I was careful to choose Capture One Pro and not one of the Sony or Mamiya options.

    Could you share the steps you have undertaken so we could have a better grasp of what you are doing? We might be able to help you better.

    I had the same problems.
    I accidentally converted my Aperture Library to a Photos Library and couldn't Import it in CaptureOne.

    I never got a solution for this.
    But since I wanted to reorganize my Library anyway (iPhoto and Aperture really messed it up over the years), to have a referenced Library in future, it wasn't a big deal for me.

    Hello,

    it´s quite simple.
    When you convert your Aperture library to a Photos library it will be renamed.
    To solve the problem please choose the Aperture in finder, go to the information (⌘+i), find the filename and change the extension from "migratedaplibrary" to "aplibrary".
    After this you will be able to import the library to capture one as usual.

    Changing the extension to aplibrary worked for me but I had to switch the library I wanted to import from Aperture's default library it opened with. Even though Aperture was closed Capture One kept saying the library was open. Thanks for the help
