Please help!! Thank you!! =)

Sonny3300, your signature says "Aperture 2" - is that correct? Then you need this trouble shooting guide:
Aperture 2: Troubleshooting Basics: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
What is your Operating system version and where is your library located? Have imported new images recently or changed the location of your library?

  • Library recovery: how can I recover a library after I get this message: There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Jim/Pictures/Libraries/K2 Library.aplibrary"???

    Thanks a lot, Frank. The lsregister did the trick! I am testing this on 10.8.2.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA24770 : I deleted the "com.apple.LaunchServices.plist", and restarted the Finder, even logged off and on again; did not change anything. The file has not been recreated, so it may not be used anymore.

    The direct "copy and paste" from the post did not work: I had to retype it :
    /System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
    but then it worked like a charm!
    Cheers

    And btw: I turned on the "-v" option for the lsregister to see, what was going on, and saw plenty of error messages (error -10811); so I repeated the command with "sudo". After that I still saw five iPhotos. Repeating as regular user finally got rid of the redundant iPhoto entries. It looks like registering as super user may be causing this trouble.

  • I can't open aperture-  I get this message:  There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/Kristy/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". :

    I can't seem to open Aperture, don't know how to back up the library (I have pics I just put on Aperture last week that aren't backed up) so I can just rebuild the library.  Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?

    don't know how to back up the library
    Simply drag your Aperture library to an external drive with enough free disk space to make a backup copy for now.
    What happened before you first got this error message? Did you import new images into Aperture? Did you install new software? Or update software?
    Did you move your aperture library to a new location?
    Does the panel with the error message show an error log? What does it say? The first 50 lines will suffice.
    Will I lose all my pics if I choose to rebuild the library?
    Rebuild is a save standard trouble shooting operations. But it may take a long time, and if your mac has other problems, in interruption of the rebuild may make things worse, so don't do it without copying your library some where safe.

    Thanks for the quick response ...
    I had already tried deleting the review slide itself, though Captivate wouldn't let me - it just hid it. I tried again using the method you recommended but the slide remained in the filmstrip, so I tried deleting again, then re-added it from the Quiz Settings page ... no joy, same behavior as before.
    I checked the Advanced Interaction page and confirmed that all of the scored questions were configuredthe same way as the non-scored questions, with the only difference being the pool that they were drawing from.
    Other thoughts? I am by no means a Captivate expert but this one really feels like it shouldn't be this hard, and I'm more than a little afraid that it's the file itself that's jacked up ...

  • I have a iPhone 4s, which has been working fine until now. Charge phone overnight and within 2 hours dead. Put it on charger and shows charging but that's it. Battery not showing any charge.

    I have a IPhone 4s, which has been working great until now. Don't know if has any thing to do with the latest updates. Charged it over night and then two hours later it was dead. Didn't even used it. Placed on charger and the charging icon shows but battery not.

    Hello, M_Bilal
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    That you for provided such a detailed post with what you've already completed, for the issue with your battery. I will try to guide you further.
    I would like to provide you further documents for troubleshooting, but you've essentially completed what I have for this issue. The only step left, would be to test the battery.
    You can do this with another battery, or in another notebook. I know you mention another machine, but if you know someone who does or someone who has a compatible battery. This would test that. You could even see if a local computer shop could test it.
    The reason for this, is if the battery is the problem, it's much easier and more affordable replacement. Also, you mention it being new, might have warranty.
    The other possible cause to the issue you've touched on, that would be the system board. Testing the above, would just confirm if this is the problem or not. From there you could decide on what you'd like to do.
    I know, there really aren't many suggestions here, but I hope this can provide you with the next step.
    Let me know how things go, with the route you choose to troubleshoot.
    Thank you for posting on the HP Forums.

  • I am trying to get the updates for CS5 and I keep getting this message   "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."    What does this mean?

    I am trying to update CS5 through the CS5 application.   I hit "updates" in the help menu.   It goes through its series of updates and then says  " There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."
    I have no idea what this means. Of course, I have retried this….but to no avail. Can somebody help me?

    Please do a forum search.  I and others have repeatedly answered this question a whole bunch of times recently.
    Bottom line:  the Adobe auto updater is utterly useless in CS5 and prior versions.  You need to download the updates and apply them manually yourself.
    I and others have even supplied the links for Mac and Win, which you haven't even bothered to specify.

  • I cannot open any Word document or even Powerpoints or anything related to Office 2008, which has been working fine for the last 2 years. I need help...

    I installed an application called "You SendIt" because some audio files were sent to me and I had to access them through it. My Mac is running Windows and OS-X. I bought an version of Office 2008 separately. I tried to uninstall it, to get rid of all my downloads and also to reinstall Office 2008 but nothing works...
    Whenever I try to open a Word file, for example, it says:
    "The application Microsoft Word quit unexpectedly. Mac OS-X and other applications are not affected. Click relaunch to launch the application again. CLick Report to see more details or send a report to Apple"
    Of course I have tried to reset and relaunch... But it does not work. I realized today I have the same problem with Powerpoint.
    I have looked at Mac help forums... but no results...
    So, if you or your friend had any idea on how to solve this, it would help me A LOT!!
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi Chris,
    Well, I tried to delete the Caches and I threw all the .plist files related to microsoft in the trash -- athough I don't know if this is the way to delete files but I haven't found another yet....
    From your other suggestions, it seems to me that you have the impression that I want to stop using Microsoft Office (it was 2007, I made a mistake) though... but this is not the case.
    So... tell me if I misunderstood correctly or if I did anything wrong, or if you have anything else to suggest...
    Thanks a lot anyways!

  • I had to reinstall windows and reinstall cs5 and when I try and update I get this message   "There was an error downloading this update. Please quit and try again later."

    I have to say that it doesn't seem fair that after buying a $2500 suite of software that I cant chat with support, I'm outta here.

    We can't know. You have not provided any system information or other useful technical details.

  • I have a ipod touch 3rd gen that has been working fine until a week ago.  I usually charge it using a power adapter in the house or using a car power adaptor.  All of a sudden neither will charge my ipod.  It does charge is I connect to computer.

    I have tried different cords.  Other Ipods charge fine.  I have rebooted the Ipod.  I don't know what else to do.

    Hi,
    Try resetting your iPod:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430. 
    If that doesn't work, try restoring it:  http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414. 
    If all else fails, you will have to place your iPod in Recovery Mode:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808. 
    Hope this helps!

  • When I try to open my aperture library, I get the message "There was an error opening the database for the library "/Users/alyssabouma/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary". help!

    When I try to open my Aperture Library, I get this message: "There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/alyssabouma/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!

    lyssalou,
    what is your Aperture version and what is your MacOS X version?
    What happened, before this problem occurred? Did you import images, install software, move the Aperture library?
    I have already uninstalled and reinstalled the library....Help!!
    What do you mean by reinstalling the library? Did you reinstall Aperture?
    You might start the trouble shooting with using the Aperture Library First Aid Tools - repairing the permissions, repairing the library, and rebuilding, if necessary, see:
    Aperture 3 User Manual: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
    Before rebuilding the library, make a backup of the Aperture Library, if you do not have one.

  • Cannot open aperture-There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/TKR HITACHI /HI12.aplibrary".

    When I try to open Aperture 3- I get this message : There was an error opening the database for the library...(name of library).
    The last time I tried to open the library I got a window requesting a conflict in library data. It ask if I wanted to resolve it. So I pushed the repair button.
    Thanks in advance for your help !!

    William,
    Thanks so much for your reply.
    When first hooked up I reformatted the external as Mac OS Extended Journaled within Disk Utility.
    I am not sure what HFS+ means. Can you help me there ?

  • Error Message: There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.

    I've tried Command Q to close;  Tried Adobe Reader Tool Bar but closing is grayed out;  I'ved held the power button for hard close, but everytime I try to open a .pdf I get this message: 
    There was an error opening this document. Acrobat cannot open this file because a task is still active in Acrobat.
    I'm not extremely technical, but I can follow directions if someone can help!
    Thanks

    Looks like it got stuck.
    You can switch to another program or the Finder (click on desktop) and Apple menu > Force Quit > Adobe
    You can press and hold the power button, it's a emergency force shutdown which you can boot normally and it should be fine.
