Aperture 2 won't start with a networked disc attached - any ideas?

Hi,
I'm running Aperture 2 on a MBP. The Aperture database file and all deleted files are stored in the default locations on the laptop's internal drive. If the laptop is left off the network, Aperture starts normally and everything is okay.
My network uses an Apple TimeCapsule as its wireless network hub. Attached to this through USB is a Drobo mass storage device which makes its files available throughout the house. The Drobo does not house any Aperture-related files.
If I connect the MBP to the wireless network and start Aperture it hangs at the splash screen. It never finishes loading even if I leave it twelve hours. The Aperture task is using almost no CPU time and only a small amount of memory.
If I disconnect the Drobo from the TimeCapsule and attach it directly to the MBP by FireWire, Aperture starts normally.
The Drobo is healthy and can be used by other applications with only the slightest delay. The MBP's disk is in perfect working order with no errors. The machine has all the necessary updates and security fixes and Aperture is up to date.
Does anyone know why Aperture is freaking over the networked Drobo? And are there any solutions?
Many thanks in advance,
Mike.

I experienced the same issue today after enabling the TimeMachine capabilities of my Buffalo LinkStation NAS device for the first time.
After which, Aperture 2 would hang at the splash screen indefinitely. This occurred even though I do not actually mount the shared Time Machine volume (as this is not necessary for Time Machine to use the service on the LinkStation).
Turning Time Machine off allowed Aperture to start normally.

    What are you trying to sync?
    I see you are on ios 7.
    I also had upgraded my iPad Mini to ios 7 & then the 1st time I tried to open a Numbers file that was set up to sync w my MacBookPro, I got a warning that I would not be able to sync it any more w my Mac until I upgraded to Mavericks.
    So if you are trying to sync Numbers, Pages or Keynote files between your iPad mini in ios 7 and a Mac that hasn't been upgraded to Mavericks that could be the problem.
    I was very shocked to get that message since I bought Numbers on the iPad so that I could have a particular file on both devices & keep them synced. I had no clue when I upgraded to ios 7 on the iPad Mini that it would make it so the files in the iWorks apps woudln't sync any more.
    So I finally decided to go ahead & upgrade to Mavericks after carefully preparing & updating other software so that it would work w Mavericks. But I got error messages so haven't even been able to download Mavericks & now having 2nd thoughts about doing so.

  • SatelliteU300 Won't start with AC power connected and fully charged battery

    I just bought a U300-13U. It works great when battery is charging and AC is connected. However if left to charge up fully it won't start with AC connected. Unpluging the power or removing the battery and running on AC makes it work fine. Is this a 'feature' to stop overcharging or overheating the battery, or just a problem with this machine. I want to run with AC and battery both connected all the time as I have done with all my other laptops.
    Any help appreciated.

    Hello Andy
    Friend of mine has this small U300 and everything work well. I have had it few weeks ago to test WXp installation and it works perfectly.
    Please test it again very carefully and if the same happen again I recommend you to contact Authorized service partner in your country. Let them check your notebook. I must be honest and say that described issue sounds strange to me and please do not wait too long. Contact service as soon as possible.
    Bye and good luck!

  • My PC won't start with only one push of the start button.

    hi guys my pc won't start with only one push of the start button. It takes me 1 to 10 pushes for it to start. I encountered this main bios error once when my pc started but it fixed on its own. What could be the problem?

    Hi
    The problem can be fixed by running a latest BIOS Update on your unit or if it is a mechanical issue it could be the power button itself.. you can call HP tech support if the notebook is still in warranty.. they'll be able to help you.
    Hope this helps.

  • The MAC OSX v10.4 just comes up with the grey apple which alternates with ?. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers. No discs. Any ideas?

    My son has been deleting files. Now when he turns on the MAC OSX v10.4 it just comes up with the grey apple keywhich alternates with a NO ENTRY symbo and ? symbol. Tried pressing "apple key"  S. Black screen appears Error Loading Drivers.
    We have no discs. Any ideas?

    You should have given your son access to a Parental Controlled Account only.   Unfortunately without the disks, and from the sounds of it, no backup, you are stuck.   You might be able to recover the information with an external hard drive and an appropriate data recovery program, but getting the 10.4 original discs is increasingly difficult.  If a Mac is Intel, only the original discs can be used to install 10.4 which you would need to call AppleCare for and hope they still have a copy of, or a cloned backup.   If it is PowerPC G3, G4, or G5, you can probably find the 10.4.6 retail disc, discussed here to Archive and install 10.4.
    Before Archive and Installing, which you can do with either the original 10.4 or retail disc, be sure to attempt that data recovery.  If you choose to try to Archive and Install 10.5, and you have PowerPC, you'll lose access to Classic Applications.   You could upgrade to 10.6 if you have Intel and 1 GB of RAM, or 10.7 if you have 2 GB of RAM, but some application compatibility might be lost the further you upgrade.

  • I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    I updated my itunes this morning, and now I keep getting an error message when trying to burn a disc. Any ideas how to resolve this?

    Go to Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs (Win XP) or Programs and Features (later)
    Remove all of these items in the following order:
    iTunes
    Apple Software Update
    Apple Mobile Device Support (if this won't uninstall move on to the next item)
    Bonjour
    Apple Application Support
    Reboot, download iTunes, then reinstall, either using an account with administrative rights, or right-clicking the downloaded installer and selecting Run as Administrator.
    The uninstall and reinstall process will preserve your iTunes library and settings, but ideally you would back up the library and your other important personal documents and data on a regular basis. See this user tip for a suggested technique.
    Please note:
    Some users may need to follow all the steps in whichever of the following support documents applies to their system. These include some additional manual file and folder deletions not mentioned above.

  • Ap store says "we could not complete your purchase.  OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer".  I'm running 10.6.8 duel core intel with 15gb of  memory.  Any ideas on why  I can't download?

    Thanks.

    If the OP has this much RAM in their iMac, certain this Mac can run Mountain Lion.
    The reason it might not be installing is that 15 GBs of RAM.
    Your iMac should have (4) equal sized, 4 GB sticks of RAM for a total of 16 GBs.l
    If your iMac is only reporting that there is only 15 GBs of RAM, you have a RAM stick that is either not seated in its slot properly or is defective/going bad.
    This maybe the reason that it won't download it.
    Also could be you are running out of free space on your HD.
    You need, at least 15-20 % or greater free space left on your HD.

  • Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all plug-ins, and I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?

    Whenever I run Firfox 4.0, my computer fan runs continuously. I have disabled all Firefox plug-ins, but I get the same result. This did not happen with Firefox 3.x, and it doesn't happen with IE 8.0. Any ideas?

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?

    My 2007 MacBook pro won't boot up beyond a White screen any ideas what to do?

    Odd how this hasn't been archived yet.
    I'm getting the same thing with my Macbook, but can't boot past the white screen. An Apple store in KS suggested I needed a new hard drive, but I've already put two in there and it's still doing the same thing. I really don't want to buy another motherboard like I had to a couple of years ago.
    My choices are either buy a cheap drive to boot from and remove the current one to put into an external case, or save the money by not buying a new motherboard and putting it as a down payment toward a Mac mini.

  • Dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of  error 29. Any ideas?

    dropped phone in coffee, turns on but sticks on the i tunes icon. Restore won't complete because of  error 29. Any ideas?

    After being submerged in coffee, did you power the iPhone off right away and if so, how long did it remain off to be completely dry - for the interior, not exterior?
    Did the coffee include cream and sugar? Electronics and moisture don't mix especially with moisture that includes sugar.
    Regardless, sounds like there is some hardware damage especially if not powered off and allowed to dry with the interior before being powered back on.
