Aperture is taking forever to Rebuild my Database

Hi,
It seems my Aperture Library has corrupted. This happened after i updated to the latest version of Aperture 3.4.1. I'm running my libary file on an external FW800 WD1.5 TB drive. the library is about 400GB.  Haven't been able to open the file for a week. I strated by trying to repair the databse, but to no avail, I have also run disk utility permission repairs on my iMac and the Hard drive, also have used Disk Warrior to restore directory.
After all this, I opened Apeture and ran Rebuild Database, It has now been going for over 4 days. and currently shows a window with an empty bar showing no progress stating - Rebuilding Library: 43412 Versions Restored.  it has been progressing, but no blue in the empty progress bar. not sure if something is actually happening, but i'm guessing something is terribly wrong as i've been allowing the process to go for over 4 days. . In the System Activity window (using iStat) it shows Aperture been consistently using 100% of one core in processing power. 
If anyone has any idea how i can resolve this issue and get my Aperture library up and running again, i would be most grateful!.
thanks!

Running 10.7.5 and Aperture 3.4.1 (Aperture can open other librarys ok)

Let it run.  I saw the exact same thing -- eventually Aperture finished.  As long as iStat reports 100% of one core, just let it run.  If you bring up the OS X Force Quit window, I think you'll see that Aperture is NOT marked "not responding".
I had to move a Library from a USB 3 drive to FW800, and it runs _much_ slower.  Once you have your Library working, I recommend moving it to USB 3 (if you can).  This seems to be a recent change: with 3.3, USB 3 was not significantly faster than FW800.

  • After installing SP3 for BO XI R1 - Crystal Reports taking forever to run.

    Hello,
    We are running BO XI R1 SP3.  Ever since installing SP3 a number of our scheduled Crystal Reports are taking forever to run.  The Business Objects server resources are okay, CPU never really gets above 50% so I figure perhaps it's our SQL Server.
    We run SQL 2005 and CPU on that hovers around 30%, we've got 4 2.6GHz CPUs with 16GB of RAM.  Looking in SQL Server activity monitor the reason the reports are taking some time is that the wait types are generally CXPACKET.
    For example a report used to process in a minute however after installing SP3 the report now takes several hours.  Since we've 4 CPU's on our SQL Server activity monitor creates four sessions for the report to try and process it in parallel.  However all of those four sessions have a wait type of CXPACKET.  This I understand is related to parallelism and people have said to reduce that so nothing runs in parallel.
    However I should not have to do that as things used to run just fine, there is no physical reason (i.e. RAM / CPU / HDD) that reports are locked waiting in SQL server.  Has anyone else had this issue or have any suggestions on how to fix please?
    Kind regards,
    Chris Rutherford

    XIR2 has two different redistributable MSI packages.  One is compatable with 1.1 framwork applications and the other is compatable with 2.0 framework applications.
    try downloading the SP3 MSIs from [here|https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100009656792008E/crxir2sp3_net_si.zip]
    this will have both MSIs
    - CrystalReports11_5_NET.msi          (for 1.1fwk applications)
    - CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi   (for 2.0fwk applications)
    rename the CrystalReports11_5_net_2005.msi to CrystalRedist115_x86.msi and replace the existing file in the Bootstrapper folder path
    Uninstall the last install, rebuild and try your Click-Once install again.  This time you should have the 11.5.3700.0 runtime.

  • Shutdow is taking forever

    I have issued a shutdown and it is taking forever. Should I just let is run it's course? Thank you,
    David

    do

  • Apple mail 5.3 taking forever to load emails

    I hae a Mac mini running Mail 5.3. I use only Gmail/Google apps emails. For the last 5 or 6 weeks, the app will take forever to load emails. The spinning weels next to each mailbox will be there for around an hour until it loads emails. Yes, I have lots of emails in the server (I use IMAP) but since the issue is new, I am concerned since I use the same accounts in a macbook air and I don't have to deal with this at all.
    Also, I've noticed that my mac slows down a lot when running Mail app. since this issue started.
    Any clue or known solution will be trully appreciated
    Thanks
    Alvaro

    I have the same problem - Mail takes anywhere form 10 minutes to 2 hours to sync with GMail. To the point of being useless as a mail client.
    I tried the rebuild option. No change. Still taking *forever* to sync.

  • My ipod touch is takeing forever to update to IOS 5.01

    i have an ipod touch and its a 4 gen and i have a new computer and it realy fast but my ipod update is takeing forever to update i have done everything i even changed some internet setting it still takes forever please help me. ,Thank you

    If your iPod does not have camera it is a 3G iPod. Those can only go to 5.1.1. Its hardware does not support a higher version.
    As other have said, a 4G (first one to have cameras) can only go to 6.1.6
    A 5G can go to the current 7.1.2
    To more easily find compatible apps:
    iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.
    Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.
    Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)
    App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps on iOS - Apple Club
    App Store: Install the latest compatible version of an app
    You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.

  • Okay so I just got a new MacBook and I'm setting it up. I decided to not download all of my files to iCloud drive and its taking forever to load to the next page. Is this normal for it to take so long? After all I didn't even download my stuff?

    why is it taking forever to load!?

    The files you are loading into the new computer are by wi-fi? If you have no other option
    that may be OK but slow. A faster method would be Ethernet cable from internet router
    or modem, instead of wireless. Most of the setup process can take some time.
    What are these files? Where are they now?
    Do you have a backup on-site, & not online?
    Did you check to see if the operating system was updated as part of the setup before use?
    The Software Update can locate later parts to the as-shipped system, that may be needed.
    Other upgrades or new apps are through the Mac App Store, some through App Store, etc.
    As part of the setup, you could use a migration assistant if you have a backup from the old
    computer or have other files saved in an external hard drive to import.
    Hopefully your process won't be drawn out too long...
    Good luck & happy computing!

  • Restarting taking forever after Security Update 2014-002

    I just downloaded Security Update 2014-002 and my Mac Mini is taking forever to restart after the download and installation process finished. I'm running the latest version of Mavericks and my Mac is stuck on restart! What should I do?
    Need help! Thanks.

    Tap the space bar on your keyboard once. The dispaly may be sleeping.
    The first restart after the update here was longer than usual but I restarted one more time, it was back to normal boot time.
    After the restart, open the App Store then select Updates from the menu.
    It should say:  Verio 1.0 Installed Apr 22, 2014

  • ADODE MEDIA ENCODER CS5 TAKING FOREVER????

    Hello
    I have just noticed that AME is not encoding fast enough as it used to. I recently changed my set up to the following,
    C : Seagate Momentus XT 500GB (2.5" 7200rpm)
    D : Areca Raid Controller 1110 (3 x seagate momentus 7200rpm 2.5" Raid 0) Media Files
    E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
    I converted my two bay workstation to  4 2.5" HDDs
    The sequence I am currently exporting is 23 minutes long and is  Matrox HDV 50i, with Matrox colour correction, Magic Bullet Looks and  Adobe Auto contrast. This export is taking forever and it has just  rendered a sixth of the sequence for 2 hours 27 minutes and indicates  that 11 hours 23 minutes remains to render. CPU is not maxed out never  had such awful long renders before with my previous setting which had  only two logic HDDs.
    This was my previous HDD set up
    C : Bios Raid 0 (Western Digital Caviar Green 3.5" 7200 x 2 partitioned into C & D)
    E/F :TB32 Raid Controller ( 2 x Seagate 3.5" 7200RPM hdd Raid 0 Partitioned) Stock footage, Media Cache and Exports
    So currently I am not sure whether I have gone for the  better or I have just worsened. I have just exported some clips with  after effects and the CPU was maxed out without any sluggish perfomance.
    SYSTEM
    HP XW6600 Win 7 Pro 64 bit
    Dual Xeon 5450 3ghz (8 virtual cores)
    32 GB RAM
    GTX 285 2GB GPU
    Matrox RT X2
    Areca 1110
    I have got lots of jobs coming up and perfomance has become of paramount importance. I am considering RMA of the 2.5" HDDs here, don't know what to do really? Check out this picture which shows the perfomance I am suffering here.

    You need to establish if this is AME or Matrox.
    Place your project in a non Matrox project and render again.
    Mind you Looks and auto contrast take a lot of rendering.
    Best is to ditch the auto contrast and use the Brightness and Contrast.
    Effects with auto tend to make a mess of you video.
    What preset did you use i find your settings somewhat odd.
    I copied all the footage in the matrox timeline and pasted it into HDV timeline. There was no change, the render speed is just the same. The first clip in this sequence is a quicktime mov file 1920 x 1080 (Opening sequence 30 sec long no effects), AME renders this one faster than real time and max out the CPU to over 95%, but when it hits the main content with the filters, the CPU usage drops tremendously. This happens on both matrox and HDV sequences, which leaves with no alternative but to think that the slowness render issue lies with the Red Giant plugins.

  • My 2009 24" iMac, taking forever to boot...help!

    I need help and some advice on my 24" (2009) iMac running OS 10.7, my computer is taking forever to boot up. I was downloading MS Word 2011 via wi fi and then it froze. I shut the computer down by pressing the power button and restarted the iMac up again, the chime came on and the Apple logo is up with the wheel turning, I thought it was booting up...Well an hour has passed and the the screen with the Apple logo and wheel is still turning! I shut down the computer again and power it up again while holding down the Option key. Two icons came up, one for he HD and the other Recovery HD...I click the Recovery and select Disk Utility. I then select the Mac HD and clicked Repair Disk. After it went through that process of repairing, I then selected Repair Disk Permission. After that was done, I selected Restart from the Apple icon on the upper left corner. Again the Apple chimed....the screen and Apple icon and wheel is still spinning...No good the same screen with Apple icon and wheel continued to spin and nothing else is happening. Hope someone can help me out. Thanks.

    As a test you could try booting with the install disk that came with the iMac (disk in drive and startup holding down the 'C' key). If it boots it's likely a good sign that it's an OS rather than hardware problem and that Eric Ross's suggestion of re-installing the OS is the next step.
    If you haven't got a back up (hope you have) you can re-install using the Recovery HD but it would mean re-downloading Lion (you don't have to pay again).

  • ITunes forgets my CD files...how do I rebuild tune database? - Revisited

    Hi:
    I tried follwoing your advice.
    I can do the Ctrl-A to select all songs in the iTunes libary.
    I can right-click and select Delete,
    but when I do, I do not get the 3 options that you mentioned
    (Cancel, Keep Files, and Move To Recycle Bin)
    I get a dialog box stating:
    Are you sure you want to remove the selcted songs from your iTunes library?
    These songs will also be remove from any iPod or iPhone which synchronizes with your iTunes library.
    Why am I not getting the options you stated above ?
    I have seen you oprions on a Mac at best Buy, but I am running an HP laptop under Vista Home Premium.
    Then has a Remove or Cancel button to be clicked.
    If I follow through with the above, will it wipe out my music library ?
    How do I go about rebuilding the databse ?
    Thank you

    Sorry DaleB, I have redone my library so many times, I forgot about this prompt. Just click 'yes'/'remove' to that question.
    Reloading the library will only make your iPod resync again, thats all.

    Hi:
    A related issue.
    I made a copy (backup ?) of the Music folder in Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit OS, to my Desktop. If something corrupts the Music in iTunes, will this be a "good enough" backup to be able to restore the music by moving it back into the Music folder, or will soemthing be missing ?

    Hi:
    I did not move them arounsd outsice of iTunes.
    I copied & pasetd them in iTunes, but in some cases, they became subfolders.
    e.g., I may have a main folder in iTunes called "Rolling Stones", and subfolder iteled after their Greatest Hits album "Hot Rocks". Initially,
    Hot Rocks was a folder at the same level as Rolling Stones. Thenm I create a subfolder within Rollng Stones and then copied and pasted all of the MP3 files from the main folder (Hot Rocks) into the subfolder (Hot Rocks), and then deleted the main folder (Hot Rocks). But, iTunes now tells me it can find the songs. The Apple guy at best Buy showed me how to delete the current database without deleting the actual tunes, and then rebuild the database, all in a few mouse clicks. But, this was on a Mac...I do not know if iTunes for Windows has the same menu features as the Mac version. I just forgot the steps that he went through.
