Aperture viewer issues after full screen view - in Browser, Split View and Viewer modes

2012 MacBook Air, Mac OS 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.3. Everything is up to date and, as usual, has been working just fine since the last update a few weeks ago. Full screen view never caused any issues... until today.
I tried quitting and restarting Aperture. Using another Aperture library. Quitting everything and restarting my MBA... same behavior.
I went into the full screen view, edited a photo and got out of the full screen view to export it.
All of the sudden, only one line of thumbnails was showing up in my Broswer view (out of 380 pictures in that project). Looking closely at it, it seems like the Aperture now thinks that the desktop area it has to work with (the dark gray area where the thumbnails are) is larger than the aperture window because a part of photo is showing up cut off at the right edge and no slider at the bottom:
(note: at the bottom it says 380 items displayed)
Going back to full screen view, everything looks and works as nothing has happened:
In Broswer view, if I scroll down such that the first row is out of the view, the second row of thumbnails shows up:
Now, if I scroll back up, two rows of thumbnails are shown in the viewer:
To get the third row to show up, I need to scroll down to get the top two rows out of the way and so on.
At some point I saw this weirdo but have not been able to replicate it:
Split View also has its issues - the photo itself is no longer centered and the slider at the bottom gets out of the way past the right edge of the Aperture window before reaching the end of the row of thumbnails:
Finally, when double clicking the photo in the Split View to view it by itself, once again it is not centered and cut off on the right side but there is no slider...
Any ideas? I tried looking through the Viewer-related threads on here and did not see anything close to this. Is there a way to contact Apple support? I found some form somewhere on the website, but it had a dropdown for operating system and nothing past 10.7.2 so I am guessing it is not being maintained...
edit: added the note under the first image

When the graphical user interface is misbehaving, it frequently helps to remove the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library, see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.

  • Weird screen issues in full screen mode

    This problem here could as well be posted under the MacPro section, but I'll give it a try here first:
    I have a brand new MacPro 6-core with the HD 5870 graphics card option. I use a dual screen setup with a Cinema HD 23" (Aluminium body) hooked up using the Mini Display Port Adpater and a brand new NEC PA241W hooked up using the big DVI connector.
    The Cinema Display is secondary, while the NEC is primary.
    Everything runs fine until I go to full screen mode in Aperture (3.1). As soon as I use one of the floating windows of Aperture (like when pressing "H" or when using the Crop Tool) the image, which is displayed full screen on the NEC while having the browser on the ACD, starts to behave very awkward. When using the crop tool for example, it will get reduced to about 80% of the full screen size. When I move the mouse somewhere on the ACD it gets back to full screen. This then goes back and forth every time I move my mousepointer somewhere.
    Similarily, when I start to edit a few sliders with the Adjustments panel, the NEC image sometimes gets darker for a split second and then back up to normal brightness. Same here: when I move the mouse pointer on the ACD, it usually triggers this in any kind of way.
    As you can imagine, there is no way of working fluently and it gets on my nerves pretty fast, making full screen view unusable. In the normal window view, there is no such behavior at all.
    I have the feeling, that there seems to be something wrong with either the HD 5870, it's drivers, something in Aperture itself (no problems in any other Application so far) or any combination of all of the above together.
    Before this setup I used a iMac with the ACD attached and never had any issues.
    Any ideas?

    - it's just one card, the optional HD 5870
    - I switched the primary/secondary between the NEC and the ACD and also switched the way they connect to the GC, still the same. So it occurs on the ACD as well and it does not matter if either display is connected using the DVI or the Mini Display Port (therefore I think it's not a display issue)
    - I always update everything right away, so my systems are always running the latest of everything, OS X, Aperture...
    - I used the profile which was default for the NEC and a calibrated one for the ACD. But since it occurs on both monitors, I don't think this is an issue. It is highly unlikely that there are two broken profiles at the same time causing the exact same bug
    Meanwhile I got an answer from somebody in another Mac forum and he could reproduce this behavior on his MacPro, which is from 2008 and has the 5770 card. So it narrows down even further and seems to affect older MP's and the 5770 card as well. I'm indeed glad that somebody else experiences the same, because I was worried that my brand new MP was broken.
    Here are the exact steps how to reproduce it (you need a MP + Aperture + 2 Displays):
    1. go to full screen with "F"
    2. enable the HUD using "H"
    3. lock the HUD to the viewer using the small button in the upper right corner of the HUD
    4. activate any of the quick brushes, like dodge or burn
    5. the picture, which should be full screen on the primary display, will now reduce in size to about 70% and will be sitting on the right hand side of the screen

  • OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

    Hello,
    I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
    For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
    Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
    While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
    What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
    Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
    Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
    I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

    I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
    # Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
    $ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort
    Password:
    Enter password for new role:
    Enter it again:
    Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
    Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
    Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
    It keeps telling me "could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"
    I'm running OSX Mountain Lion, and have verified using serveradmin status postgres that it is up and running.

  • MacPro 7300GT and 20 in lcd flashing after full screen app quits.

    hi all
    Just got this problem today.
    When an app changes from full screen back to the finder my Apple 20 in lcd starts to flash black-blue, power light goes full on too.
    A reset solves the problem until another app quits from full screen.
    For a split second I could see the finder - in a blue hue.
    No force quit or quit could get back to the finder.
    Any help? 10.4.8 8L2127

    Any news on this one?
    I've got the same problem: Sometimes if an application tries to change the resolution (e.g. redline but happens with other games too) it will start to show a blue screen for two seconds then switch off the display for two seconds.. in what appears to be an infinite loop. Mac Pro, 7300 Gt, 10.4.8 8L2127 and a 23" cinema display

    Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple?  I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

    Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
    BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

    So what the likely cause was the Rotation Lock was on, when you restart the phone it goes back to off.
    BB doesn't really "support" them, but you can easily sideload an android app on the blackberry yes. In the new 10.2.1 OS, which isn't released yet, they have changed some stuff around and you can load the apk files directly on the blackberry. However, now you will need to sideload the apps, just google search "sideload android apps on blackberry" and a number of articles will come up about it.

    Hey All,
    When mail is in full screen and you are composing a message, the message box doesn't disappear after you click the send button. The little paper airplane button turns off. When you click it again it turns back on. So on and so forth.
    A colleauge told me that they recived my email like 10 times because I kept clicking the button.
    As soon as I got out of full screen view the compose message box disappeared and the message was sent.
    Anyone else experiance this problem??

    Right- mouse click in the top part of the toolbar:
    Hope you can get it!

  • Aperture not staying in full screen

    My version of Aperture (3.2.4) running on OS 10.6.8 on a Core 2 duo MBP has started doing something strange. If I'am editing in full screen and I go to export an image using either the control key or command shift E the hud appears I choose export version and instead of staying in full screen it kicks into viewer mode and the correct dialog destination window appears. I know it used to stay in full screen for this operation. My question is how can I re-aquire this functionality. I have treid re-installing a couple of times, trashing the Plist file etc nothing is working. Is there some obscure setting am overlooking. Itr works exactly as expected on an older Mac. Any thoughts much appeciated.
    TIA

    Check the software/game settings

  • Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

    Hi Guys,
    I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
    This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
    Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

    You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
    Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
    I have bottom left set to spaces
    Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

  • Issue with Full Screen & Input languages (Mavericks 10.9.1)

    I have two issues with the latest (Version 8.0.24308) Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App store:
    1. If I tick the connection entry "Start session in fullscreen" option, after connect the desktop slips upwards like on the screenshot (below on the link)
    2. The default input method switches to Latvian after connect (never used Latvian anywhere...).
    On my Mac:
    - System language: Hungarian
    - Input language: Hungarian
    On the server:
    - System language: English
    - Input language: Hungarian (default) + English
    +: the app doesn't supports Retina display resolution :(

    db.tt/yYKN0arM

    Hi,
    1. The version 8.0.24308 offers updated functionality for full screen mode to users of OS X 10.7+:
    OS X native: The native full screen feature for the Mac OS X version.
    Custom: The custom full screen mode enables the multi-monitor feature in order to provide a better experience for users of Mac OS X versions 10.7 and 10.8.
    Important information for users of 10.9: if you have disabled "Displays have separate Spaces" in Mavericks
    (System Preferences > Mission Control) go to Preferences > Resolution in the Microsoft Remote Desktop client and configure the setting using the same option.
    Please try the OS X native mode and see how it works.
    2. The OS keyboard locale, is suggested to the remote PC. Therefore, please check the keyboard locale.
    Hope this helps.

  • Mail attachment issues in full screen apps

    This is an interesting issue.  So far it only occurs with MS Excel.  When Mail is open as a full screen app and I open an xlsx file attached to a mail message the screen shifts back over to the desktop screen as it should, but the Excel window remians locked with the Mail full screen app.  At this time, I cannot swipe back over to Mail, it just shifts back over to the desktop screen every time I try.  The only resolution that I have found so far is to quite Mail from my dock icon and relaunch.  This then moves the Excel window to my desktop screen.
    I wonder if this is only an issue with programs that do not suppport full screen apps.
    Thoughts?
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Have you tried toggling - Command, Control, F
    If you do a 5 finger swipe up do you see Apple Mail as it's own desktop?  If so when you expand Apple Mail use the green traffic dot in the upper left side instead of the full screen double arrow on the upper right side.

  • Vertex Array Object deleted after full screen RAM preview

    Hi,
    I'm writing a plugin where I use OpenGL VAOs. Everything works fine, also RAM preview, but when I cancel full screen RAM preview and render a new frame the VAO is somehow deleted. I called glGenVertexArrays for testing and the handle it returns is 1, which was previously the handle of my valid VAO.
    Has anyone had this problem?  It only happens when using full screen RAM preview. I also tested this in the GLator sample by generating dummy VAOs and it's exactly the same.

    Hi Rick,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I've changed the .mp3 file to a .wav file and that seemed to fix everything, for the time being...
    It previewed for 10 seconds fine, but after about 15mins of working on this the RAM preview area has started to shrink again and it's only previewing just over half (5 seconds).
    I changed my memory and allocated 4GB to other apps, also turning off rendering multiple frames... (by the way for some reason I can't get my 'actual cpu's that will be used' to change from 0? This seemed odd). Still no change.
    I've attached a screenshot of my comp details below, along with a shot of my screen when RAM previewing... (you can see the green bar does not go all the way). I'm not working with ANY footage which is why this is most peculiar, just the wav file so I can edit to the beat.
    Once again if there is anything else you can think of...

  • AE CC - Timeline expands to project length after full screen preview

    This seems to have only started happening recently, and it's a pain. After you preview an effect in full screen, the time navigator brackets are pulled to the very start and end of the video. You return from a fullscreen video preview to see your timeline extended over the whole duration of the project.
    Is there some way to turn this off? I frequently work on small sections of a project, regularly watching full-screen previews to check how various changes look, and after the tenth or so time what starts as a minor irritation becomes completely infuriating. It seems like something easily fixed, but I've had no luck finding out how.
    Thanks in advance.

    Ah, okay, this is a more interesting problem than I thought. Sorry I didn't put that info in before; my assumption was this was a poorly-considered feature which could be easily turned off and I was just too dumb to figure out how.
    I'm on Windows 7 x64, running AE version 12.2.1.5 (as far as I'm aware this is the latest version). I haven't done anything dramatic with my PC lately or with AE settings. If it helps, I'm running with: an Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 16GB RAM, using an Nvidia GeForce GT530.
