After upgrading to Aperture 3.4.1 (and really since 3.4), aperture becomes unresponsive almost immediately after I open it. It tears through over 1GB of memory within a minute, and I am forced to either force quit or open the terminal and "killall".

How do I fix this issue? I haven't been able to use Aperture or load new photos into Aperture for weeks. Since upgrading to Aperture 3, from Aperture 2; I've noticed that Aperture 3 is a major memory hog. I had to upgrade my unibody macbook to keep up with Aperture, otherwise my whole system become unresponsive when trying to simply look at my photos. I have about 15,000 pictures in my library, but the program is designed to organize large libraries. Why has it been so buggy the past year? Should I just jump ship and go to Lightroom?
Thanks

Matt,
it is normal, that after a crash a library repair is required. Aperture is a database, and if a crash happens, transactions may not be completed, so the library may be left in an inconsitent state. Usually the built-in repair methods can take care of this. But I assume, you have a backup of your Aperture library. If not, now would be the time to create one, just in case.
I doubt, Aperture is causing this crashes - it may be a coincidence; kernel panics quite often are due to an overfull hard disk, incompatible frameworks or kernel extensions, or to failing hardware. Run a hardware check, check the available disk space and file system with disk utility, and try to remember, if you installed anything else lately, that might have added incompatible kernel extensions. Turn off any helper apps, start up items.
Your kernel panic occurs when accessing the graphics card. Sometimes this can be resolved by booting into safe mode, this will disable advanced features and reset the card. Note: Aperture will not run in safe boot mode, see
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode
Browse MacBook forum and Mt. Lion forum, to see, if anybody else has problems with Mt. Lion and your particular Hardware configuration and card.
As a last measure reinstall your MacOS. You may also have a look at Thomas' Tech Corner » Understanding upgrade nightmares

Adobe CC products either closes almost immediately after Startup or closes after giving the message "Could not validate license"

Okay, so I recently got all the products I wanted from CC via the student subscription. It was a bit of a pain getting everything working, as windows explorer crashed and reopened during installation of CC and during an update. Once I finally got in and got everything installed, I thought I was golden, it was then that I discovered my troubles had only just begun. Whenever I tried to open a program it either closed almost immediately after Startup or closed after giving the message "Could not validate license". Thus far I have not found a solution, as the much touted log out and log in method failed me.
Any help in this area would be greatly appreciated as I am honestly at a loss on what to do.
Technical details:
The programs I tried were After Effects, Audition, Photoshop and Premiere.
I am using Windows 7.

If you are traveling in Europe, do you need both an adapter AND a voltage regulator to charge the IPad2 and the iphone? Or, the reverse, will it hurt either if I use both the adapter AND the voltage convertor?

You may only need adapters for the different kind of sockets, depending of the country you want to travel. A voltage converter is not needed.
The Apple power units are multi voltage devices, supporting a range from 110 V to 240 V. as you can see on the labels. O.K. for most of the labels you need a magnifier, but its on them.

My iPad mini adapter shorted...I bought a new one but since it charges very slowly and when charged to 100% it falls to 95% immediately after being unplugged...what might be the issue????

When it does that. Replug the charger and charge to 100%. Now does is stay charged when you unplug the charger.
You may need to recalibrate your battery.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

[SOLVED] X Server becomes unresponsive to input after a while

Hello,
I'm using XFCE 4 without a display manager (just startx) and this is what happens: I launch the terminal and after a few keystrokes the window doesn't accept any more input. Except for an occasional key repeat. After that when I try to drag the window the motherboard just beeps and nothing happens. Although I can drag around the icons in the dock. The window buttons work too.
I had a similar behavior when I tested the X Server with xterm (I just followed the excellent beginner's guide).
I'm using xf86-input-evdev with no X configuration for the keyboard except for the layout.
There are no errors in the Xorg.0.log...
I never experienced such behavior. Maybe someone of you knows what the cause might be and what other info I could provide. Thanks.

I used the computer for a bit longer now and the issue occured again with the new user. I finally replaced the keyboard and it works now. I think the issue was that the old keyboard was faulty (some modifier keys got stuck or something)...
The only way this showed in the tty was that I couldn't type a backslash while holding the modifier key but just hitting 'ß' (german layout) worked.
Anyways thanks for your help and sorry for bothering you because of a stupid hardware fault.

I cannot update my iPad and notes it cannot be updated due to unknown error (6). I have not yet updated my Macbook to Yosemite (which I do not intend to do so yet) so would this be the problem and if so, how can I update the iPad?

Illustrator dialog boxes dissappear almost immediately after they appear SOLVED

Illustrator dialog boxes dissappear almost immediately after they appear. Save As, or Open. I am able to double click and open a file, but not via Open dialog.
If I do open a file, I can not do a "Save As". The dialog box pops up momentarily, but is gone before I can select a destination or new file name.
Some programs in creative cloud function okay, Illustrator does not. This is on a Macbook Pro. This worked for a number of months, and recently "broke".
On my own I:
1. updated Illustrator
2. uninstalled Illustrator
3. reinstalled Illustrator
At tech supports suggestion I:
uninstalled.
removed various config files
reinstalled
uninstalled again
ran adobe cc cleaner
reinstalled.
...some other things I can't recall...
Still no luck. Created new user.
SUCCESS. However, this created a huge headache to move an entire user configuration.
I had an idea to try 'one more thing'. I updated OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1.
SUCCESS. I could now run in the original user.
FINAL RESOLUTION: I updated OS from 10.9 to 10.9.1.

Does anyone know if these dialogs use Java Access Bridge? Because when I alt-tab back to iTunes in its frozen state, its labeled as "Access Bridge status" which might indicate a problem with Java, if it in fact uses Java.
Again, thanks to anyone who can offer some help.

When you buy an iPhone in the U.S. it's locked to that country with the carrier you bought it for.
If you bought the device unlocked in the U.S. it's unlocked, you can use it on any carrier. Even one's outside the country.
If you want to do a repair on a device you bought in the U.S. and your using it in another country, you must send it back to the U.S. Why? That's where you bought it from.
AppleCare Protection Plans and AppleCare Limited Warranties are registered to your hardware.
Your hardware is your iPhone.
Wherever hardware that was bought then that's the country it was designed to be used in and that's where it was manufactured.
Apple is very localized - if you call U.S. tech support, you'll speak to somone in your country.
So, what does all this mean?
In order to do a repair, you need to send it back to the country you got it from.
And we're all customers like you. We understand that you're upset, but Apple isn't gonna bend the rules to one individual.

Well the term "hotlined" I have never heard before. In any case many states (like NY) just passed regulatory powers to the State Public Service Commission of which it may be called something different in your state. You could file a complaint with them. Or file a complaint with your state attorney generals office, they also take on wireless providers.
The problem here is the staff you speak to are poorly trained, in days gone by it took one call to them and they pulled up your account and see the error and had the authority to remove any errors. They did not remove legitimate account actions, but used their heads instead of putting a customer off or worse lying to the customer.
Its a shame you have to go through what you going through.
Good Luck

Ever since the latest update, my task bar (if it's called that - it's the one with "file,edit,view, etc") will "grey out" and I won't be able to type into any websites I visit. Only way to fix:either restart Firefox or reduce the window and open it again.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

My imac turns it self back on almost immediately after putting it to sleep. Why and how do I fix it?

This is new as of a few days ago. I can't find anything in preferences to make it better nor did I change any setting. Not sure what's going on. The computer seems to be working fine except for that.

It's not supposed to do that, so there is no setting for it. Be sure you have shut down (powered off) the Mac and started it back up, if you have not since this problem occurred.
If you are manually putting it to sleep, make sure you are not "bumping" the mouse immediately after giving the Sleep command. Also, does this happen when the Mac goes to sleep due to timed inactivity?
Resetting the PRAM may help
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1379
It may also help to reset "power management," which is called PMU, SMU, SMC, and other things depending on Mac model. The reset procedure depends on iMac model. If you can post back with the specific iMac model, I can link to the correct procedure. This is a list of all iMac models
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
A faulty USB device can cause this behavior. You can try disconnecting all USB devices including hubs, except for standard mouse and keyboard (if used). See if the problem recurs.

After i updated to ios6, apps were asking for access to my iphotos . i said no to my first one before i realized i should have said yes. How do i fix this?? i tried re-installing the app and nothing!!! Very frustrated!! HELP PLEASE!!!

i updated to ios 6 on the 19th. i went into echofon and tried to save a photo and it asked me to grant echofon access to my photos. Without thinking, I said no. I realize now that inorder to save photos, I have to grant this access but I can't figure it out. I have deleted the app and re-installed it. I have searched the web and everything possible place on the phone itself hoping i could change it or something. But I can't find anything. Their website is of no help at all. Anybody got any ideas!?!?

I'm having the same issue! Other than this problem, iOS 6 isn't too bad. But a little help with this would be great! Thanks!

Why does iMovie freeze almost immediately after opening the program?

Hi there!
iMovie '09 was running fine a few days ago until who knows what happened. Suddenly, each time I open iMovie I immediately cannot open anything when I click on things - ex. Project Library/the scroll icon/etc. The project I'm working on is still in iMovie, and I can see it play in the preview screen on the right hand side. The problem is, I can't see any of the clips I have on the left. They seem to be invisible, but when I pan over the editing area (left hand side) I can see the clips playing in the preview screen. I literally have no idea what happened. I can't edit anything and I can't seem to fix the problem. I can't access anything - can't edit, can't scroll to find the video I want.
So far I have done these things to try and fix the problem:
+Deleted the iMovie and iPhoto preference files: Library > Preferences > com.apple.imovie.plist
+Reboot my computer and reloaded iPhoto and iMovie
+Gone into Disk Utility and ran the Repair Disk Permissions
+Done force quit so many times
+Tried running iMovie without any others apps open
I'm hoping someone out there has a few tricks up their sleeve to help with this problem. Additionally, I've seemed to have run into the problem of not being able to play any of the cutaways I have in the video except for the FIRST one. When the video plays and pans over the next cutaway, the video freezes until the cutaway ends and proceeds to play the rest of the video.
So, anyone out there know how to help a gal out??
Thanks!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
