Why won't my screensaver allow me to access my external drive that contains my aperture 3 library

I can't get my screensaver to see my Aperture 3 library which is on my external drive via firewire. It wants to use an older Aperture 2 library on another drive instead. Both drives are daisy chained together.
The only libraries that my System preferences sees are iPhoto and the older Aperture 2 library.

  • HT204350 Why won't my MacBook Pro recognize the connected USB external drive when trying to 'Transfer Information to this Mac'?

    I recently bought a second-hand MacBook Pro (mid-2010, i7, I'll call this New Mac).  I want to transfer my accounts and data from the first MacBook Pro (mid-2010, i5, I'll call this Old Mac).  I took a Time Machine Backup of the Old Mac, using an external USB drive.  After erasing the drive and installing Maverick on the New Mac, I attached the USB drive to the New Mac and began the setup. 
    At the step "Transfer Information to this Mac", the Mac just gives me a nice spinning icon next to "Looking for source...".  Apparently it cannot find the USB drive.
    How do I fix this?  I don't want to setup a new user on the New Mac, I want to migrate my old users from the Old Mac.

    See if you can inherit the backup.

    Another option would be to clone your old Mac and copy the clone. That would leave your old Mac with a backup and you can start a new one with the new Mac.

  • I can no longer edit the info for my songs, movies and tv shows.  This occurred since I loaded Windows 7 Pro on my C drive, and then fownloaded ITunes 10.  Why will the program not allow me to access the track info to edit it?

    Ah yes school boy error there out of frustration and discontent..
    My issue is with music/apps/films etc not downloading from iTunes / App Store.
    They initially fail and message is displayed stating unable to download / purchase at this time, yet if I retry it says I've already purchased (?) or alternatively I go to the purchased section and there they are waiting with the cloud symbol..
    However some items get frozen in the download window and cannot be retried or deleted. Message appears stating to tap to retry, but even if you stole every bath and sink in the uk you'd still not have enough taps.
    I post here as the iTunes guys are useless in there 'help' and have only advised posting here or phoning apple, at my expense, to explain a problem that could be rectified by forwarding my original email to a techie. However the tech team apparently don't have an email address as they're from ye olde Middle Ages..!
    Anyways I digress.
    So I tried sync to pc, but instead of showing the file as ready to listen/use/view, the iCloud symbol shows and I'm back to square one as the item is unable to download..
    At frustration station waiting for a train from pain...
    All my software is up to date, and had all worked fine prior to the last big iOS update that resulted in all the changes in display and dismay.
    Answers in a postcard :-)

  • Why won't my new Airport Extreme recognize my USB Hard drive?  My MacBook recognizes it.  I already have had a great deal of trouble connecting my printer to print wirelessly, but finally resolved that.  Now I want to add the external drive with a USB por

    Why won't my new Airport Extreme recognize my USB external hard drive.  I put a USB port on the base station, and the system recognizes my printer.  When I click on disks - it lists my printer, and when I click on Printers it lists my printer.  What do I need to do to get it to recognize the external drive?  BTW, the MacBook recognizes it, no problem.  I have erased it and reformatted it.  I am running the new Lion OS.  Any help is appreciated.

    Yes, I saw a post on one of these threads about a powered USB hub so I ran over to Office Depot and picked one up.  I was finally able to see the HD in the Airport Utility.  Yay!

    Why won't my videos play? They start on the device that they are on, then stop and I get an error message...An error occured loading this content. This comes up on all of my computers. I reset the Apple TV to Factory Settings and still get the same message.

    Hi There,
    I had the same problem took me several hours to try and sort it out but nothing worked.
    I then went to the following apple link

    Follow everything to a T and you will get the use of your Itunes again.
    Hope this helps. Good luck (And remember to breath lol )

  • Why won't my screensaver start?

    I'm running Yosemite 10.10.2 on an iMac Retina 5K 27-inch, Late 2014.
    I have my screensaver set to start after 5 minutes. The library of photos is a folder 10Gb in size with 5500 photos in it.
    I have energy saver set to turn the screen off at 20 minutes.
    The screen goes off at 20 minutes but the screensaver never starts at 5 minutes. I've timed it to 10+ minutes making sure I do not touch the keyboard or the trackpad and the screensaver never starts. The system preference previews just fine. It does take a while to load but that's understandable. I have a hot corner set for the screensaver. If I move the pointer to that corner, the screensaver starts just fine and runs until the screen turns off.
    Am I missing something?

  • How do I disable journaling on an external drive that won't mount?

    I'm trying to fix a hard drive that gives me the "Invalid content in journal" error. I've run the latest TechTool and Drive Genius and they say the drive is fine, except for its crippling inability to actually mount. Onyx and Cocktail won't touch it until its mounted. Ideas?

    It's possible to recover files using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

  • MBP won't boot - "GRUB_" - tried installing ubuntu on an external drive

    so i tried installing ubuntu netbook remix onto an external drive, and upon restarting my MBP won't boot to my internal HDD, once it displayed "GRUB_" with a blinking cursor, but is otherwise unresponsive.
    now i just get the folder with the ? on it.
    I've run disk util, repair permission, repair disk and still no luck.
    i can boot the MBP into target disk mode and see the HDD on my other system and all appears to be good, and if i boot to the install dvd, the HDD shows up under the "startup disk" menu, but it just doesn't boot.
    any thoughts on how to fix this?

    So I have an imac that I have had for about 3yrs. About several months ago, it started acting a little strange, it wouldnt pick up the mouse or the keyboard at times even thought they were plugged in properly to the usb port, sometimes both would work sometimes one or the other would work and other times they worked fine. About a month or 2 ago, I went to turn my imac on and it got to the screen where the little circular icon pops up implying it is loading, stayed that way for 2-3min then turned of and turned itself back on and did the same thing, made the apple sound got to the load screen turned of after 2-3min then turned back on, it has been doing that for the past month. What do I do?

  • Why does my Thermaltake Silver River 5G USB 3.0 External Drive keep disappearing?

    Hi All,
    Having major problems with a Thermaltake Silver River 5G USB 3.0 External Drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153160).  External drive contains Western Digital 2TB drive (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136891).  I'm running Mac OS X 10.8.3 on a 2012 Mac Mini. 
    Basically, I can plug-in or turn the drive on, it mounts fine. Can run a Time Machine Backup.  At some point (and I think it's when the computer goes to sleep), the drive hangs and I can no longer access it.  Time Machine will hang on "Looking for backup disk".  Drive will still appear in Finder, but I cannot "Eject" it.  I've also tried to do a "umount -f" on it from the Terminal.  Disk Utility still "sees" the device and the disk (partition?), but can't run a repair. 
    The only way I've found to fix this problem is to reboot the machine.  I've crawled through the System log, but I don't see anything that points to a problem. 
    What else can I check?  I'm have no idea if it's the hard drive, the external USB enclousure, Mac OS X, or the Mac Mini that's the problem.  Please let me know if there is more information I could provide to help solve this problem.  It's really frustrating!!!
    Thanks!
    -Ben

    I received an answer from Thermaltake technical support. I asked if perhaps there was a firmware upgrade to prevent their drive from disappearing. They wrote on 22/04/2013:
    Thank you for contacting Thermaltake Customer Service.
    No firmware to do it. Just set system to never sleep. System will cut/disconnect the USB when it into sleep mode.
    I wrote back saying I have never had to do that with other USB devices. And I routinely allow my system to Sleep. Is that an issue with their drive housings? They replied on 23/04/2013:
    that is issue with sleep mode.
    I don't know if this occurs with other USB 3.0 drives and Time Machine. Somehow, I doubt it. Anyway, it sounds as though my Thermaltake is destined for eBay...

  • Why won't data merge allow more than one data source at a time?

    I need to number tickets, 8 up on a tabloid page, in InDesign (CS5)
    I have found out how to use data merge, but it won't allow me to select more than one data source at a time, therefore, making me use 800 sheets of paper instead of 100. That's not acceptable!! Is there a way to merge the pdfs if I make 8 different ones in the places they need to be? Each file that I export will have 100 pages, so is there a way to merge the files to put all eight tickets on each sheet, sequentially? This is driving me nuts!!!!!!!

    Past users have solved this frustrating problem. You can find their solutions with a Google search like "InDesign data merge multiple sequential items on one page" without quotes.

  • Why won't my Mac allow me to print my whole iTunes wish list?

    I have an HP Officejet Pro 8600 Plus, and I'm trying to print my iTunes wishlist. For some reason, the whole list won't print. I have about 325 songs in my wishlist, but I can't print but 115. I have changed all the printer settings possible but can't find a solution. Does anyone have a solution to this problem?

    Thank you, Advance 23, for your interest. I am not generally having a problem printing multiple pages. I am, however, having a problem specifically printing my entire iTunes wish list. I do not receive an error message. When I click on print, it shows 13 pages to be printed. It does print 13 pages, but only the first 41/2 pages contain part of the list. The rest of the pages are blank. "All" is selected as the number of pages to print. I'm not sure what you mean by a program from which I am printing the list. I just have my HP printer set up as my printer for my Mac, and it prints all of my documents. What I have done instead of printing the list is take screenshots directly from the wish list and printing them. I cannot copy and paste it into Pages or TextEdit because only the first 41/2 pages of the list show up in the pages to be printed section. It would be really great if you could solve this problem.
