I went to import more photos taken on my iPad 4 and out of the blue it won't allow me to put them in a already created project. Instead it forces a new project named “June 4, 2012”. The photos were just taken Friday. Just before that I imported from my iPhone just fine. What gives?
Have you placed any of those photos into any albums or book projects? I believe you can not move images from one project to another if they’re in an album.

Some quick testing indicated the following…
How Aperture imports from an iPad seems to depend on what you have highlighted in the Library panel when you connect the iPad. For example:
- If a project or album is highlighted when you connect the iPad, then the import target will be that project or album. But you can’t change it.
- If an empty folder is highlighted when you connect the iPad, then the import target will be a new project name ‘July 31, 2005’ . It can’t be changed, either. No telling where it is pulling these dates from.
There’s some other pretty quirky behavior going on as well. If you cancel Import, then invoke it again without disconnecting/reconnecting the iPad, you’ll get different symptoms. And finally, the iPhone behaves completely different, and more what you would expect during an import.
Best thing to do is try different combinations of the above on your system and note the behavior.
Thanks, guys. So it sounds like this is a bug/quirk in Aperture. Seems odd since this version of Aperture and the iPad have been out for a while now.
