None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview.

None of my apple apps can export files, including Mail, iPhoto, Aperture and Preview. When I try to export a file from any of these programs, the app hangs for a few seconds and then does nothing, not even open an export dialogue. Same thing happens when I try to attach a file to an email. Also, maybe related and maybe not, Photoshop will crash after the splash screen. All of these app function properly when using a different User Account.
I've tried deleting my application preferences in my user library and when that didn't work, I deleted my account and then created a new one that used the same user directory, which still didn't fix anything.
I don't really want to make a new user from scratch and have to re-enter license numbers, re-calibrate monitors, recover bookmarks, contancts, etc. etc. if I don't have to, so I would be grateful for any advice.
Thanks!

    how I can export files from CS5.5 to send for further editing in CS6 and no lose quality?

    If all you need for further editing is the contents of your Timeline,
    then you should follow Harm's sage advice.

    http://www.videohelp.com/tools/Ut-Video-Codec-Suite
    But, if you will need all of your source media files to continue the edit,
    you should consider using the Project Manager.
    Trim or copy your project
    By using the Project Manager, you will be continuing the edit
    with the original media files and there will be no quality loss.
    Be aware that once you have edited the project in CS6,
    it will be problematic (but not impossible) to return to edit in CS5.5.

  • None of my Apple apps will open

    I think I may have screwed some things up when I tried to install Wineskins. I changed a couple of permissions, and now none of my Apple apps (Textedit, Preview, iBooks, Maps, etc...even Terminal) will launch. I've tried to go back and change things back to the way they were, with no luck. They don't launch if I sign in as a guest, or if I create a new user.
    I've looked at similari
    I'd appreciate any help anyone has to give!
    Thanks,

  • I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    I have just bought a Panasonic Lumix compact camera. Aperture and Preview can't open the RAW files from this camera. Panasonic recommend downloading 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to save RAW file formats.How can Aperture and Preview read the files?

    Either use 'SYLKPIX Developer Studio SE' to develope the RAW files and to save them in another lossless format like TIFF, or try if Adobe's free DNG Coverter can convert your Lumix RAW files to dng. Then import the dngs. This way, your files will still be RAW files.  This works (most times) for my Lumix FZ28.

  • I have 3 apple products can I sync my mail accounts so that if i action on will it will do the same on all the others, like delete an e-mail and that e-mail is deleted on all the other devices

    I have 3 apple products can I sync my mail accounts so that if i action on one it will do the same on all the others, like delete an e-mail and that e-mail is deleted on all the other devices

    Hello sstan114,
    Great question! What type of email account are you using? Most email providers these days offer IMAP accounts (as opposed to POP). With IMAP, your changes should reflect across your devices (for example: if you read an email on your iPhone, it should be marked as read on your iPad). For more information about IMAP, see this resource:
    iCloud: IMAP
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2585
    In some cases, you may need to contact your Email provider or check out their online resources for information on how to setup your account as IMAP. The following article outlines some important information you’ll want to gather:
    Mail settings you might need from your email provider - Apple Support

  • I have iphoto 7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album. When I try, it tells me that I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and I need to upgrade. When I try to upgrade, it tells me tat I can't upgrade because I have OSX 10.6.8  What can I do

    I have iphoto7. I need to order additional copies of a wedding album I creared LESS THAT A YEAR AGO!!!. Apperently I can no longer order on iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system What can I do?

    Your profile signature is confusing. There it says "iPhoto '08, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8)".  But your question mentions older systems:  " iphoto 7 and cannot download the upgrade on my OSX 10.6.8 system"
    Do you have two different Macs? If you have a second mac with OS X Mountain Lion (10.8), you could upgrade that to MAvericks and buy the most recent iPhoto '11, version 9.5.1 from the App Store. That would be the least expensive solution to upgrade your iPhoto.
    If you only have iPhoto 7 on OSX 10.6.8, you can can buy the boxed iLife '11 installer package from Amazon. This will install an early version of iPhoto '11, that runs well with your current system and will let you print your book.  You will need to run the iPhoto library upgrader to convert your old library, see:  iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader
    Also, you  should be aware, that upgrading your library may change the book layout a bit, because the themes have changed between the versions, so you need to keep a backup copy of the library and iPhoto 7, to be able to compare the upgraded version to the original.

  • How can I export files from my ipod classic and reset it without losing content and syncing it to a new library?

    I'm trying to export the files that exist on an ipod classic. It belongs to my girlfriend, and she doesn't want to lose any of the music on it. But she wants to sync to a new PC and not lose the content. So, I want to export all the files and then place those files plus start a new itunes library with it. If I were to sync to my PC, would it erase all of the existing data? Can I buy/download a program that would allow me to upload all of the existing content on her ipod classic to my PC and then take that and place it back on by syncing it through her new laptop and adding the exported files....?

    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • I can't open pdf files with Ibooks app. The files open for some seconds and then they disappear! Thanks

    Files open and disappear in few seconds!

    It sounds like the app is crashing for whatever reason. Start with simple, easy things.
    Quit iBooks and restart the iPad.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If those things do not help - you may want to consider deleting the iBooks app and reinstall it. Make sue that all of your books and pdf files have been backed up and synced with iTunes before you delete the app.

  • When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

    If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
    When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
    I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
    This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
    I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.
    Bob.

    Hi Jack,
    Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
    It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
    I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
    Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
    Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

  • JPG files unreadable in cover flow and preview but can be read in quicktime

    After upgrading to 10.5 some jpg files (canon 30D shots) can not be shown in cover flow or preview. Also the files will not import in iPhoto (import hangs). The files can be read with quicktime.
    If I press 'get info' for the folder that contains the jpg's the Finder seems to crash, and quickly restarts.
    If I try to open the file in preview, nothing happens (while other jpg's are fine)
    If the files are transferred to another mac running 10.5 the same problem occurs
    Permissions seem to be ok
    Any suggestions?

    My problem is similar.
    Create a file in Illustrator CS3
    Open File in Photoshop CS3
    Save File as JPEG
    - Quicklook - Crashes Finder
    - Get info - Crashes Finder
    - Drag into Mail - nothing happens
    - Open in Preview - nothing happens
    - Open in Photoshop - all ok
    Workaround - Open file in photoshop and Copy and paste into a new document.
    Guess that strips out some Metadata.
    This is also what caused a Numbers.app file from opening - the document had a jpeg imported. Solved by showing package contents on the numbers file and deleting the offending jpeg.
    This is reproducible on 10.5, 10.5.1, Intel and PPC systems.

  • Exporting 7 min. video from Aperture and received error.  How can I get the original back?

    I uploaded a video from my iphone 5 into Aperture and then I tried to export it to my desktop.  After I clicked on Export, it attempted to export for a while but then gave me an error message saying that 0 of 1 videos was exported and it couldn't export.  Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files.  The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.  My concern is that I tried to export the original.  Any ideas on how I can fix this and get the video back?

    The clip also shows an arrow pointing to the right with a yellow triangle by it.  This is located in the bottom right of the image, right next to the video icon.
    Is that the badge you are seeing? Then Aperture has lost the connection to the original video file.
    Now it shows the video in the album in Aperture, but it won't play and I can't do anything with it.  I have tried to recall the original but it says there is no original and it says there are no referenced files when I try to reference the files. 
    You tried to reconenct and locate the referenced file? Then you probably imported the video as "Managed" and then the commands for referenced files do not work.
    Look directly into your Aperture library package, if the video is still there:
    Select the Aperture Library in the Finder and ctrl-click(or right click) it.
    Then select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up.
    In the Finder window that opens scroll down to the "Masters" folder and open its subfolder "2013" and then go to the month and day, when you imported your video. Do you see your video there, or any imports at all?
    If you see the video in your library package, copy it to the Desktop, ad check, if you camn play it.
    What do you see?
    Regards
    Léonie

  • I cannot attach files in Gmail within Firefox. I can attach files in Gmail from Chrome and IE.

    I know it has been mentioned elsewhere too ( https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/999383 ), but I cannot reply to that message... so, here it is again, with full details of the testing we have performed so far....
    ALL users or our organization are currently affected.
    When you try to attached a doc, xls, pdf, etc. in Gmail the results are all the same in Firefox. You get a red bar with "attachment failed" and an option to cancel or retry.
    We have tested with our Proxy On and Off. We have tested with no extensions loaded (I get the message with my 3 extensions on or off -- Adblock+, Ghostery, HTTPS Everywhere). Versions on which the issue has been seen include 25, 26, 28, 28.0.1 and 29.0.1 (the latest as of this post). Most users in our organization do not use extensions with Firefox.
    Attachments link up just fine in IE 10 and 11, and Chrome (with Adblock, Ghostery, and HTTPS Everywhere turned on). This error is only seen in Firefox, with or without plug-ins.
    Operating Systems used for testing were Windows 7 and Windows 8.1.
    The issue was first reported to us today, 5/13/14, but it is unknown if the issue has been around longer. However, Firefox is our organization's default browser due to countless web software vendor recommendations. We most likely would have heard before today if the issue has happened previously.
    Any tips or suggestions would be welcome here.

    Without trying any of the fixes, the issue seems to have gone away on its own. All users (of about 7 reporting in) can attach files within Gmail using Firefox as of 5/15. We did not try any of the 4 fixes listed above. On 5/13 and 5/14, users could not attach files to Gmail messages within Firefox.
    However, on the day of the issue we did try all the mentioned fixes (except #4). All affected users had all history and cache wiped, updated to v29.0.1, and the latest Flash plug-in from Adobe.com. We have the browsers set to clear all history, temp files, cookies, etc. at exit to avoid any cached data issues. We tried with proxy on and off too. Attachments were in the 20K-35K range, so very small. They failed on 5/13 and 5/14 within Firefox, but attached fine in IE and Chrome on the same days.
    So, not sure what the issue was, what caused, or why it went away... but we cannot reproduce today, as of 5/15.
    Thanks for the tips. I'll bookmark them if the issue reappears.

  • Maill.App can no longer send mail with quotes

    Hello,
    Just recently mail.app can no longer reply / send mail that has quotes. In the activity monitor it successfully connects but stops at "Sending data 100% done".
    Can anyone please help?
    Cheers,
    Dan.

    Well, it happened again.
    This morning I was sending out a bunch of emails and around the 10th one they started kicking back.
    This time I did not fool with any of the settings on my computer.
    I turned off both the modem and router.  Started them back up and the problem still exists.
    The last time this happend, about a week ago, it started working again within an hour.
    This problem ony crops up when I am sending many emails at the same time
    Throughout the rest of the week it works fine.
    This time I by-passed the router and the mail will go out.
    So it looks like someting is going on with the router.
    Whenver I hook the router back up, outgoing mail will not work.
    It says it cannot send mail using my server.
    I double checked all of my mail setings and nothing has changed
    I also did a hard rest on the router, but it did not help.
    Again this problem is with 2 computers. 
    I have an early version of Airport Extreme Model A1143.
    It's around 5 years old.
    Whenever I call my ISP they claim everything checks out on their end and they don't offer any help.
    I am sure if I leave the router unplugged for a day or so, it will start working again.
    Is there any way a router can break down and allow incoming mail and internet but not outgoing mail?
    I am am at wits end with this problem.
    I would be willing to go out and get the latest Airport Extreme if I knew for sure it would cure this problem.
