Aperture 3, iTunes and multiple libraries
I’ve been happily using Aperture 3 for a couple of months now and everything worked fine for some time. A few weeks ago I decided to split up my one giant (~80GB) database file into smaller ones, to reduce the load on the CPU and RAM and the load times.
While this house cleaning had the positive effects I had hoped for, it also has a snag; you cannot synchronise the iPhone with multiple Aperture libraries through iTunes — or iPhoto libraries for that matter.
Since I do like to have wallpapers for the iPhone, a selection of my favourite LOLcat pics — don’t judge me — and quite a few photos with me at all times, I’ll have to find a workaround.
Rejoining the Aperture libraries is out of the question, which means that I’m going to install iPhoto again and use it to synchronise pictures to my iPhone. It means I’m going to have to export all photos that I want on the device to iPhoto first, but maybe this separation isn’t such a bad idea.
