Aperture 1.1 performance during longer work time

Hi,
I have Aperture 1.1 running on a G5 2.3GHz dual core with a 7800GT and 8GB RAM and on my MacBook Pro 2.16GHz with 2GB RAM.
Aperture runs fine and the performance is good on both machines, after staring a work session.
But after a few minutes and several pictures Aperture slows down and sometimes the spinning ball shows up.
I don't know why this performance change during work happens.
Any indea?
I also noticed, that the 1.1 version has a higher CPU usage than the versions before, but I don't know if it still uses the GPU as much as before.

Same here, Aperture 1.1 does seem to be more of a CPU hog now than it was before -- incl. a nasty new behavior where it cripples other programs from running or rendering to screen while it is running and "active", even when it is in the background. I also see what others have reported where after 15-30 minutes the Aperture (1.1) perf gets progressively more dismal until the program becomes unusably slow, and/or freezes at the SBBOD.
I'm not that convinced memory is the root cause of the perf. problems, as it doesn't appear to be notably worse than 1.0.1 in its usage, nor does its usage radically change during the perf. problems versus prior to them.
Given both behaviors, I wonder if Aperture is internally competing against its own threads (as well as those of others, though others appear to have lower-priority access) for some critical system lock that each thread is holding too long, or something along that line of pathology. Just speculating, but it seem a closer fit with what's happening inside and outside Aperture while running (impacting other programs' perf as well), versus just rampant memory leakage.
In any event, after about 15-30 mins, Aperture's perf frequently degrades to where it stops being usable (along with the rest of the system while it is running). Other programs running simultaneously with Aperture will start hitting serious perf issues well before Aperture freezes (indeed often before Aperture shows any signs of problems). 1.1 solved many of the big RAW problems, but seems to have introduced some nastily fatal flaws of its own.

Code to navigate to certain state during long idle time.

My question is aimed at trying to keep my program from burning in an image on a monitor or just to navigate my program back to the begining when there is a long idle time.
Does anyone know of the code that can be used inside of FC? My program is running from the AIR installer so any code would need to be inserted while the FC project is open.
Any ideas??
Thanks.

Ok..
I am working with the sample code and I just have one question going back to your email:
"change the state names in the copied code snippet to match the state names that you are using."
You are refering to this code section: ?
private function userIdleHandler(evt:Event):void
            trace("userIdleHandler");
            /*currentState = "Idle";*/
        private function userActiveHandler(evt:Event):void
            trace("userActiveHandler");
            /*currentState = "Main";*/
>>>>>>>
You know the number and type of states that I have but I am going to just make up some sample states in order to understand the placement of code.
I have a MAIN state then I have five other states ( A, B, C, D, E). Where would I place those state names in the code?
I am almost there. I can feel it!!!

Aperture and DVD Player no longer work with NVIDIA 330M, help!

I recently got my computer back from the Apple Store, had the display switched because the glass kept falling off.
Anyways, since getting it back, I noticed DVD Player doesn't work anymore, it gives me:
There was an initialization error
A valid video device could not be found for playback. [-70017]
And when I try to start Aperture 3.3:
Error
The installed graphics card does not meet the minimum requirements for Aperture.
I have a mid-2010 MBP i5 2.4Ghz with 8GB memory, running OSX 10.7.4.
Things i have tried:
Reset PRAM
Reset SMC
Boot into recovery mode and fix permissions
Boot into 32 bit kernel
force fsck
Create new user and try from that account
Also my video conference software, Jabber gives an error and quits too. Its something with the video.
Switching to Intel HD video, everything works fine. Only with the NVIDIA 330M do I get this error.
Does anyone have any idea what this may be or what I could try?

I'm having exactly the same problem. Additionally, the DVDs I make aren't recognized by other Macs I've tried. All the Preferences are set correctly.
My dvd player no longer reads commercial movies or a
dvd project I just burned with it. Disks no longer
show on my desktop when they are inserted. When I
got to dvd player and manually press play it reads
"not Permitted" for both.
The burner does work in as I played the dvd in my
home dvd player.

Aperture 1.5.6 no longer works when using Snow Leopard. Help!

I never upgraded to Aperture 2. This has prevented me from using RAW files on my Nikon D90 (despite the RAW Compatibility Update, it did not apply to the original Aperture).
Now, to my dismay, Aperture does not work on Snow Leopard. This is just great, because my entire collection of over 20000 photos is stored in the library. While I am aware that the photos are preserved in the Aperture library, I am aware of absolutely no way to easily access them for export now that I have Snow Leopard installed and I'm fearing for my photography collection.
I am not willing to downgrade my OS just for Aperture, but after two serious issues with the original Aperture program, I think I am going to switch over to Lightroom. Aperture's workflow was excellent, but the fact that a copy I paid good money for is being phased out in extreme manners like this, so much so that my photo library is in critical condition, makes me leery of future iterations of the program. I understand something like PowerPCs being phased out with the release of Snow Leopard. That makes a lot of sense, because it's old technology. But I feel like Apple simply ignored people who had the original version of Aperture and only supported the newer version.
I may have to resort to installing Aperture on my friend's laptop that is still running Leopard, exporting all the images, and then importing them into iPhoto in the meantime or something.
Is there any way I can get around doing this? Is there an easier way to access my files in the Aperture Library without going through the program? Does Lightroom have an easy way to import from Aperture? If I bought Aperture 2 instead of Lightroom, would I be able to import Aperture 1's Photo Library right into Aperture 2 and still preserve everything?
I'm really worried. Thank you for reading/responding.

I ran into the same issue as well - I had an old academic version of 1.5 which did not even have an upgrade path to 2.0. What's worse is that there was no way to recover my RAW/master files without rolling back to OSX 10.5. After much frustration and reading Apple's responses in these forums, I decided to try out Adobe Lightroom and I'm liking it a lot now.
I used a 10.5 install with Aperture 1.5.6 in a temporary partition to get the RAW files out. I probably will not spend any more money on Aperture and will pay the extra $ on lightroom as it seems to be more versatile and worth the money. Especially the new integrated export UI is neat.

Restored Aperture from Time Machine backup. No longer works :(

I have a late 2007 Aluminum iMac with a 500gb hard drive which decided to go about 2 weeks ago. I had apple care put a new one in. Everything works well except Aperture. If I try to launch the application it immediately comes back with a window saying that, "The application Aperture quit unexpectedly." If I click Relaunch a few times it prompts a Reset and Relaunch which does nothing. I have recently received 4gb of ram from crucial which doesn't work when all 4gb are installed but I am currently running 3gb and it works fine. (I have one gig of apple installed ram and a 2gb stick from crucial) Could the extra gig of ram be the issue? I am tempted to delete the program and reinstall it but I am not sure if that will also delete my 6,000 photos :/
Any ideas?

I would first try deleting the preference file.
username/library/preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
If that didn't work I'd try a re-install.
Deleting the app should not affect the library, but is it not backed up in a "vault" anyway.
Don't really know if the ram could be an issue.

Aperture 3.2: renaming based on date/time doesn't work properly

While importing I rename my photos based on the date/time they were taken.
In Aperture 3.1.3 this worked perfectly fine; for photos taken within the same second Aperture added an index number for the second, third etc. photo automatically.
In Aperture 3.2 this doesn't work any longer; Aperture simply doesn't import photo number 2, 3 etc. of that particular one second.
Note: I store the original files outside the aperture library, all run under snow leopard on an iMac i7. And as I said this worked fine under 3.1.
Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks all for the response
Leonie, here are the details of what I do/experience:
a) Aperture message after import
b) I import pairs and rename them as follows “IMG_{Image Date}_{Image_Time}” (I know all the disadvantages of this but old habits are hard to break… and for me it still works fine)
c) Difference of the images that are imported / not imported is solely the hundredth of the second when they were taken. Of my test series only the first image has been imported:
DSC_4903.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.08)
DSC_4904.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.25)
DSC_4905.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.43)
DSC_4906.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.60)
DSC_4907.jpg(2011/10/19 22:49:50.80)
d) I import via the import panel: Import in new project – storefiles in particular folder (not Aperture library) – subfolder ‘imageyear/month” – rename as described above – import both
Doug, after some trial and error I agree with your thoughts, Aperture apparently simply lost its automatic indexes ‘-1’, ‘-2’ etc. and – what is good - doesn’t overwrite the first with the second and the third image... As you suggest there are different options to make the images unique. Most simple would be to add {index #} or {sequence #} or {counter}, all would do and I probably will choose one of them. Or I will downgrade back to 3.1.3 (do have backups) and wait until Apple fixes this.
Kirby, turnoff “Don’t import duplicates” was a good idea but didn’t solve it. But your naming convention actually ensures the uniqueness of the files.

Absolutely sure.. There is no connection at all.. reset is only the router side of the TC.
For the hard disk to be erased you need to access the airport utility disk page.. request erase and confirm the operation.
2) I can access to time capsule by ethernet but I am not able to input the corret setting by myself
Thank you again
I am uncertain why if you have access you cannot change settings.. but that is why you reset things so any of those problems should be fixed.
Here is the Apple info on reset.
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3728
And here is the quote from the horse's mouth so to speak.
Factory default reset: Perform this reset if you wish to repurpose the AirPort Base Station or Time Capsule and want to remove all personal profiles and settings first. This reset resets the device to its state when you first purchased it. Data stored on internal or external hard drives connected to the device will not be erased. If you choose, you may manually erase the hard drive using AirPort Utility.

The Yosemite upgrade very often damages existing Photoshop installations. Thank Apple for that.
You need to uninstall and re-install Photoshop, then apply all the Photoshop upgrades from scratch.
But first, give us details about your setup:
BOILERPLATE TEXT:
Note that this is boilerplate text.
If you give complete and detailed information about your setup and the issue at hand,
such as your platform (Mac or Win),
exact versions of your OS, of Photoshop (not just "CS6", but something like CS6v.13.0.6) and of Bridge,
your settings in Photoshop > Preference > Performance
the type of file you were working on,
machine specs, such as total installed RAM, scratch file HDs, total available HD space, video card specs, including total VRAM installed,
what troubleshooting steps you have taken so far,
what error message(s) you receive,
if having issues opening raw files also the exact camera make and model that generated them,
if you're having printing issues, indicate the exact make and model of your printer, paper size, image dimensions in pixels (so many pixels wide by so many pixels high). if going through a RIP, specify that too.
A screen shot of your settings or of the image could be very helpful too,
etc.,
someone may be able to help you (not necessarily this poster, who is not a Windows user).

Long load times and poor application performance

We have packaged and deployed Adobe CC using SCCM within my school division. It pushed out fine, but now when we attempt to open Photoshop (or any other CC app) it has unusually long load times. 2-4 minutes. It seems to be hanging at the "Reading preferences" stage. After the application appears to have started, it takes an unusually long time to actually start working in the application (it appears to just hang).

Hello There,
EXE's always bundle additional files because it is a stand-alone entity. And, if the size 9GB then it will surely take time to load all the files. I'll check with the team again on how we can optimize it. BTW, are the videos inserted as slide video or Event video?
Thanks,

I recently upgraded to 10.6.7 and Safari 5.05. Safari now has a long load time when you initially boot it up and when selecting a new tab. Other than that it works fine. What can I do ?

Check Safari / Preferences - Extensions. If you have any installed, turn that off, relaunch Safari.
If it's not Extensions, check for third party Safari add ons.

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac that was previously running Snow Leopard. Bugt I found that some key applications no longer work, so I would like to go back to snow Leopard. I can't use time machine backups for this. what can I do?

I just installed Mountain Lion on my iMac. But In was dismayed to find that my Canon scanner software (Canoscan LIDE500F)no longer works. Nor do any of my MS offce applications. I tried to use time machine to reinstall Snow Leopard (my previous operating system), but unfortunately my time machine backups did not include system software. Also, the original system install disk that came with my iMac would not allow me to install Snow Leopard in place of Mountain Lion. I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me how to solve this problem.

The reason your Office doesn't work is because it is PowerPC code. If you will upgrade the 2004 Office to 2011 Office then that will work.
I don't understand how you managed to get your Time Machine backup to not backup the system.
Now if you still what to downgrade you will have to erase the disk and reinstall Snow Leopard. Most likely all of your application and then restore your data from Time Machine.
To me it sounds like it would be easier to upgrade your software and stay with Mountain Lion instead.

When I did 7.1 update on iPhone five my reminders no longer works correctly it automatically erases the time and date that I requested

Can somebody tell me why my reminders no longer work correctly on 7.1 update on iPhone five every time I post a reminder it would delete the time and date of the reminder and my reminders do not go off.

Remove Office 2008 for Mac using Microsoft deinstall procedure. Reinstall Office 2008 for Mac. If there are updates, apply them. Using Disk Utility, verify/repair permissions on your boot drive.
Does Office for Mac 2008 now work correctly? If not, you may want to repeat the above first sentence, and then update to Office for Mac 2011, and apply the latest (14.4.8) update which has Yosemite fixes.

Time capsule no longer working

My time capsule has stopped working entirely. No longer can use it for my network and it no longer backs up. My mac book does not even recognize it. any suggestions or is it fried?

Does "no longer working" mean that the Time Capsule will not power up at all?
If the Time Capsule will power up, please describe the indicator light on the front panel.....green, flashing amber, solid amber, etc.

Time Capsule no longer works after unplugged and plugged back in

See if you can follow this.
When i first got the time capsule about 2 months ago i had problems right off the bat. I changed the WEP to a WPA, plugged the time capsule into the router instead of going wirelessly and used it to extend the network. After several time of reseting the capsule, changing settings and passwords, and waiting several minutes for the airport utility to say it could not connect i finally got it to work.
Now, the other day i went to move my desktop to another outlet, so everything was unplugged via the surge protector, for about 5 minutes then plugged back in. Now the capsule no longer works. I was getting the same messages as two months ago, as if everything was reset in turning it off for a minute. I went through the same processes as last time to get it to work, but not this time. After waiting at the airport page for a few minutes it says that internet connection is the issue. Now the capsule is about 1 foot away from the router and plugged in, and i have internet connection to the desktop and my macbook pro.
Does anyone have any ideas, omitting the stupid suggestions web pages tend to give, such as is it plugged in? is it turned on?
Help is GREATLY appreciated.

"plugged the time capsule into the router' try bridge mode and also configure its wireless setting
