Aperture won't launch after Time Machine Migration

After a hard drive failure, I've just got my system all restored from a Time Machine backup, but when I try to launch Aperture it just fails.
Not sure whether there's something obvious I'm not doing, or whether I need to reinstall. The library package etc all seems to be where it ought to be.
Any ideas welcomed!
Thanks.

Thanks - that fixed it nicely.

  • Uninstall problem in cc applications after time machine migration to new mac

    Newbie to cc. Having problems with cc programs that were migrated across to new iMac via Time Machine back up when setting up new mac.
    Attempting to open PS cc results in error message 86. I have now uninstalled Creative Cloud program and a PS cc program in Utilities via Adobe Installer in Ulilities however, (other copies?) of the programs PS cc and Bridge cc, the only 2 cc programs I have so far, are listed in my Applications folder.
    I think I need to remove them both from the Applications folder but am unsure how to do this safely. There is no Abobe Uninstaller now in Utilities as it was empty after uninstall removal of duplicate? programs noted earlier so I deleted that too.
    Should I send them to trash? And then perhaps I can start afresh with new installs of Creative Cloud and required cc programs.
    Any advice gratefully received.
    Thank, Barry

    Hi Jakekira14,
    We never suggest our customer's to move Adobe softwares using Timemachine because it causes launch/Licensing issues. I would request you to kindly delete all the Adobe folders and then install everything from scratch. To remove the left over's, please delete the following folders from your machine.
    Click on Go>Go to
    /Library/Application Support/Adobe
    /Library/Preferences/Com.adobe.....
    ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe

  • ITunes 12.0.1 on Yosemite cannot locate my music after Time Machine migration

    Hi hi
    On my old 2008 iMac, my iTunes consists of music media on the internal iMac hdd and on an external HDD.
    The option "Copy files to iTunes Media folder when adding to library" was left unchecked on my iTunes.
    My 2008 iMac froze and stopped working thereafter a few days ago and I bought a new iMac.
    After updating my new iMac to Yosemite, I transferred my old iMac settings and data from the most recent Time Machine backup via Migration Assistant.
    Loaded iTunes on my new iMac and noticed that certain playlist are not working, i.e. cannot locate the media file.
    I narrowed those unplayable playlists to the music located on my external HDD.
    For those that were working, when I get info on the music files, they were located in my new iMac's internal HDD that were transferred over from my Time Machine backup, i.e. ~/Downloads/MP3s/etc.
    Those that were unplayable and located in my external HDD points to ' ~/user/xxx/Music/iTunes/iTunes media', roughly along this line despite my old external HDD being plugged into my new iMac.
    May get some help as to how to get the unplayable media on my external HDD working on my new iMac?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    actually i have same problem with yours. Finally i get iTunes update from apple website, not thru app store.
    but so far i still have no idea to make those iTunes update(8 times) disappear.
    it's really ugly in that page.
    maybe some one have idea to solve it , please advise it. it will be appreciated much ~

  • Mail 5.3 crash after Time Machine migration

    All,
    I'm facing a problem with Mail 5.3 while trying to recover my email db from Time Machine after an update of MacOS.
    Here the following steps I made to perform this update:
    Update my iMac from SL to Lion 10.7.1 using the clean install way.
    Install last 10.7.5 combo update.
    Perform migration of content and system preferences from my last Time Machine backup before the upgrade (using the Migration wizard)
    Finally, run Mail.
    After having performed the email db conversion (without any error message), Mail seems to crash since no main window appears in the application.
    I need to force the application to show the main window with the dedicated command of the Window menu.
    But the result is not what we should expect !
    Please check the snapshot herein attached.
    While looking at the console, it seems that an error occurs during the execution of Mail, with the following error message and code :
    29/10/12 08:30:37,835 Mail: An exception occurred during invocation of -[MailboxesController _writeSmartMailboxesToDisk]
    29/10/12 08:30:37,836 Mail: *** -[NSSet initWithArray:range:copyItems:]: array argument is not an NSArray
    Is there any member of this community who could have an idea what's wrong with this ?
    Thanks,
    Michel

    Some progress on this issue to share with you.
    First, Mail.app on the others user account was fine and I managed to successfully perform the migration from Time Machine.
    This led to the point that the problem was relying on the Mail DB rather on the Mail.app itself.
    I have reinitialised the Mail.app on the user account where the problem occured using the following guidelines:
    - access to the Library folder using the [Alt]+[Goto Menu] of the Finder
    - rename Mail and Mail Downloads folders into Mail.old and Mail Downloads.old
    - delete com.apple.mail.plist and all com.apple.mail... files in the Preferences folder
    Then, start the Mail.app again
    Mail.app has been reinitialised completely !

  • Can't log in after time machine migration.

    I just bought the latest model running Lion today, used time machine to migrate my data from my old MBP running 10.5. After the migration done I couldn't log in and stuck at the start up page. Is there any way to solve this problem (I'm pretty sure that's not the password issue)?
    =_= Please help.

    Time Machine will (should) restore your old accounts. If you used a different user and password to set up your new MBP, try using one of your old accounts to log in. If that doesn't work, call back. You might also want to research your problem on Pondoni's Time Machine FAQ pages -  http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html.
    Good luck,

  • What to do after Time Machine migration (how to start using TM again)

    Hello,
    I have just restored my system from my Time Machine (TM) backup (I have a USB hdd plugged into my airport extreme (AEB), so the TM backup is a sparsebundle file on the USB hard disk).
    The initial setup with migration assistant did not work - it could not find the sparsebundle on my hard disk (this was with leopard 10.5). After setting up a dummy account and doing a system update to 10.5.6 migration assistant then worked fine.
    My question is how do I start doing TM backups again? If I am logged in as the user who was restored via migration assistant and then enable TM and then select the HDD that is shared over my AEB will it automatically recognize the old sparsebundle and use that as the starting point for backups? Or do I need to delete the old sparsebundle and then start a brand new backup?
    My external HDD is not big enough to accomodate an additional backup, and so I would prefer to just use the existing backup if possible.
    Thank You!

    not possible. TM will make a complete new backup after a new install and there is no way around that. if your existing backup drive is too small for that you have to delete the existing backups and start TM backups from scratch. (just thrash the sparse bundle and empty trash).
    Thank You!

  • Kernel panic after time machine migration after clean install of 107.3

    I had the hard drive replaced in in my mid 2009 17" MacBook pro. After the clean install of lion I migrated my data from time machine (lion) to the new clean partition.. Upon completion the machine is unresponsive. The progress wheel turning for 10 minutes. I force quit and restart to kernel panic. I have been through this 3 times same sequence of events same results. Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

  • Macbook won't boot after time machine backup

    I installed a program on my Mac that was causing some problems so I decided to do a time machine restore. I booted into recovery mode, selected restore from time machine backup and let it run. It finished completely but it gets stuck at the startup screen. I get halfway on the loading bar and it does not progress past there. I've waited up to an hour.
    I am running Yosemite on a mid 2009 macbook. I am using a SSD and I know with trim enabled it sometimes won't boot up but I disabled it via terminal.
    I've also ran disk utility on my HD and on my external HD. I'm getting no errors on both.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Imac won't restart after time machine restore

    I restored my external firewire 800 hard drive from a time machine restore using my snow leopard insall disk.  The restore function said the restore was successful.  But when the computer restarted I got the folder with the question mark icon.  My internal hard drive went bad a year ago. 
    What to do?

    Did you restore the entire contents of your Mac from the Time Machine backup?  Was Time Machine backing up everything?
    Try booting with an "option" key held down.  That will show the internal disk volume if it has a bootable copy of OS X on it.
    You might try installing OS X over the top of what's currently on the disk.  If that doesn't help, erase the disk, install OS X on it, then use Setup Assistant (unless I'm misremembering and it's actually Migration Assistant) to transfer the TIme Machine contents again.
    Incidentally, after things are working again, the first time Time Machine runs it will back up everything again.

  • Mail / Software Update / Web Won't Start After Time Machine Resurrect

    Hi there.
    Ran through some serious permissions issues trying to mess with the ACLs, as AFS wasn't working. So it shoved an ACL into some recursive folders, and it went all nasty, had to force restart.
    So I tried to take out the ACL on the drive, then it wouldn't start.
    Took a Time Machine backup from earlier on today, and I'm still getting ACLs. She's starting up, but won't get those services restarted for some reason.
    Are they not on that drive? Time Machine says it rewrites the drive. I'm going to start an install of earlier on in the week, but am I not going to get this fixed? It's taken a long time to get this thing working, so I'm really worried.
    Any ideas as to what I should do? How can I get the ACLs out of there? My custom ACLs are maybe 3 entries, so I could restart back where it was and set them again. It wasn't working anyway.
    Cheers

    BTW, spoke to Apple's peeps, and I had to do the following. Turns out, Time Machine and X Server don't really work to well. Because the /var/spool/ items are live, they can't be copied. Of course I told them that was a very important part of all this. I suggested a daemon to shadow those subdirs. Let's expect that in the future.
    1. Image problem drive on alternative drive on server
    2. Backup Server Admin prefs & Server Admin Settings on client
    3. Backup Open Directory through Server Admin on alternative drive on server
    4. Backup Workgroup Manager on client
    5. Install OS X Server
    6. Use upstream ISP for external DNS, switch to 192.168.1.5 (local server DNS) when server has imported info, restart
    7. Get Server working with all preferences. Client might have to have Internal DNS (192.168.1.5), External DNS. Or, just internal DNS. It's interesting that the previous setup had both DNS' for client setup. I had to try to re-import, specifically, some services, to take their kak. Turn off the service for it to be best-receiving (that isn't a word). Then restart the service, and give it several seconds to fall into place with table creation, DNS checking, etc. Don't be too quick for this to happen.
    8. Instal third party scripting language & MySQL
    Advice: when in doubt, restart the box. Also, save time, image drives at several times. These are < 10 GB for the most part, if you turn off crap like global printer drivers, and localisations, during installation.
    This restart, coupled with my DNS troubleshooting stuff the second time around (apparently the MAJOR problem with this software), saved me hours.
    Cheers

  • Macbook pro won't restart after time machine install on new hard drive

    I installed a new 500 GB HD on my 13-inch mid 2010 Macbook Pro (since the original crashed).  I successfully connected to the Disk Utility via the internet connection and started recovery from a recent Time Machine backup....but, the computer will not restart.  It's been stuck in the grey screen with the Apple logo and rotating status bar all night.  I shut it down and restarted, but it won't go past the grey screen state.  I can't find any answers on the Support Page.  Help. Any one else have this issue?  Should I have first installed the Lion OS X first and then restored from the Time Machine backup? 
    Also, wondering if all my programs (2011 ILife & IWork and Microsoft Office) will be reinstalled with the back up?  (I can't find my installation disks for ILife and IWork :-()

    Time machine is easy to set up and theoreticaly recover from. There have been reports of problems when a different disk or computer is used.
    https://discussions.apple.com/search.jspa?peopleEnabled=true&userID=&containerTy pe=&container=&spotlight=true&q=time+machine
    For future reference you may wish to learn about and use cloning of the HDD. I use both CCC and SD to do this and consider it to be the most reliable way to back up and recover.

  • Missing a month's emails after time machine migration

    I backed up my MacBook Pro before migrating all the data to a new iMac. Opening Mail on the iMac I discover I am missing the last month's emails. What might be the problem? Has TIme Machine lost them or not recognised them? How can I now get the missing email datga from the Macbook Pro into the new iMac Mail package? Advice, please.

    Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
    Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    ~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Go to Folder
    from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
    A folder window will open. Inside it there should be files with names as follows:
    Envelope Index
    ExternalUpdates.storedata
    Move those files to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have longer names that begin as above. Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
    Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is damaged and that Mail has to quit. Click OK. Warning: The process may take hours if you have gigantic mailboxes. For reasonable-sized mailboxes, it should only take a few minutes.
    Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the files you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results.

  • Trouble Accessing Virtual Machine After Time Machine Migration

    I am hoping that someone else has run up against this problem and is able to help.
    I recently purchased a new iMac.  I upgraded to 8 GB of ram specifically because I have VMware Fusion and want to use it on my new machine.
    I chose to migrate my entire old iMac to the new machine using my Time Machine backup.
    VMware appears to have migrated successfully.  I do not have any trouble accessing the application, but when I try to resume my only virtual machine, which is for Windows XP I get the following message:
    VMware Fusion cannont connect to the virtual machine.  Make sure you have rights to run the program and to access all directories it used and rights to access all directories for temporary files.
    How do I resolve this problem?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who is able to offer me a clue on how to overcome this.
    If I can't access this machine it appears as if I will be able to create a new one.  I would like to avoid having to do that if it is possible.
    Terri Schurter

    Captfred,
    In that folder there is a virtual machine.  It is called Windows XP Professional.  So it is there.   When I am in VMware Fusion I can see Windows Media Player, which is what I was probably accessing the last time I was in the machine, so it does appear to have backed up the virtual machine.  I would expect it to because it is a part of a Mac application, VMware Fusion.
    It appears to be an issue with permissions that I don't know how to solve.
    I know there is a VMware forum, but I can't even figure out how to sign up for it the darned thing is so confusing.  I can't seem to post to it no matter what I do.

  • External WD Passport won't recognize after Time Machine start.

    I bought a WD passport 500 gb drive and when I initially plugged it in time machine saw it and when I asked it to use it- something happened and now NO icon appears in order to be selected nor does an icon show anywhere to even select. I changed the drive and the new one does the same. Cycles continously and never mounts. Did the usual- changed ports and changed wires. It just isn't recognized no matter what. What to do?

    jimmyb12015 wrote:
    No. The drive is not reflected in any window. Not on my computer or disk utility. It initially was shown just before Time Machine started. It was then I escaped from time machine and I eventually returned the first drive after reformating it to fat 32 (on a windows machine) and it still wouldn't show up the MAC. The second drive now does the same as the first (doesn't show and cycles) but never showed up in any form on the MAC.
    If the MAC has a register then my guess is some information about any external disk has been altered and I should need to to return it to it's original setting. That is because the second drive is doing the same as the first. I just don't know how to do that or even look.
    If it uses the MBR (Master Boot Record) partition scheme, for Windoze, TM may have started to reformat it to GUID, but had that interrupted when you cancelled. If DU can't see it at all, there's not much you can do from your Mac. You may need to reformat it on a PC, then do it over on your Mac, via item #5 in the FAQ.
    There are reports of problems with some WD drives having not working well on Macs. You might want to check their website support/forums, etc.
