Aperture 3.0.2 Trash Problem

Have been using 3.0.2 since it was first released and it's been working correctly but all of a sudden now when I empty the Aperture trash it does NOT go to the finder trash, it just disappears. Anybody know what my problem might be?

According to everything I read, and the way it used to work, when you empty Aperture Trash it is supposed to then be available in the finder trash. I have used the reject option but prefer to use trash because less stored within aperture is better for performance. But I liked having the option of still seeing the deleted photos in finder trash as a backup in case of a mistaken delete.

File to Trash Problem

I have Snow Leopard on a Mac Pro with two hard disks. I have files on the secondary disk that will not delete. It gives an error code of 1407. When I check file information, the file is locked. I unlock it but it does not stay unlocked. Any suggestions?

See if these helps:
You can't empty the Trash or move a file to the Trash

And I assume you meant error -1407 (Expected a folder, got a file).

Aperture 2.1.3 Export Problems with Cropped Photos

I ran into an odd problem after updating to 2.1.3. I was trying to upload to a Picasa album via "aperture-picasa-plugin", which I had used before without problems. The resulting export had problems with two photos I had cropped from landscape to portrait size. The resulting exports had the entire uncropped/original content "squeezed" into a photo matching the cropped size, so the exported pics were squished making everything look tall and skinny. (I found it especially odd that stuff I had cropped out was back in, but the size was cropped.)
I assumed it was a problem with the plugin, so I exported to a file straight from Aperture and had the same problem. I had other crops that worked OK, but they appear to all be landscape to landscape with no change in aspect ratio.
Is anyone else having this problem?

YES!
I have seen this show up as well. I'm also using Aperture 2.1.3. I too thought it was the fault of the picasa plugin... but when I, like you, started doing my exports directly to files I noticed that they still had the same problem.
The horizontal 16x9 seems to be particularly vulnerable... And, yes, it almost looks as if the (pre-crop) master has been "squished" into the aspect ratio of the (post-crop) version. It is very strange, very annoying, and very intermittent. Although, I found that if I quit aperture, restart then re-export... I have better luck.
Boy, am I relieved to find somebody else who is having this problem. For a while there I thought I was going nuts.

Trash problems

Hi,
i deleted an old copy of Iphoto and moved to the trash.
When trying to erase from the trash...it states that certain items are in use and will not delete.
I have tried from finder to secure delete and this does not work either.
Any suggestions please?

Keep the drive mounted. Reboot and see if you can emptry the trash then.
If that doesn't work try Trash It!.

Can you help with a Trash problem?

I recently upgarded to 10.6.8 and all has been well. But now I am having a Trash problem. I can't drag to trash. A list comes up, showing 'preparing to move to Trash', with a blue and white flashing line, apparently for every item.. But it has been running every time the machine is awake, since yesterday. There is no way to delete it and, in the meantime, I can't put things in the trash or empty it. It seems to be stuck in 'preparing' mode. Can anyone tell me how to deal with this? Please?

Sorry, I should have read the side bars first, but didn't notice them. The old eyes don't work as well anymore. Anyway, I resolved the problem by following previous advice and apologize for taking up your time to read my problem. Thanks!

Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems.

Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems. I can not import. Complete system hang when I try. Have to force reboot. I made a new user and everything seems to work fine under that user. I must have something conflicting in my admin user but I have had no luck finding it. I have tried rebuilding the library (all three options) but to no avail. Aperture will run fine as long as I do not try to import. This is very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Tim,
If a problem only occurs when working from one account, then very often faulty user preferences or presets are the cause. Try to remove your user preference file, and if that should not suffice, move your presets to the desktop, as described in the Aperture 3: Trouble Shooting Basics:
(Caution: I see, you are running Lion: Because of Lion's non-preemptive Process Management you can never be sure if an application really has quit, even if it looks in the Dock as if the Application has finished. So it is very important to log off, before you launch Aperture again, after you changed something in the libraries like described below.)
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Aperture back to its original settings. This will not impact your image files or your library. To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder. (and log off and log in again!)
Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Application Support/Aperture in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop (and log off and log in again!)
Start Aperture and see if the issue is resolved. Note: Permanently removing these files will delete presets, metadata sets, keyword sets, and so on. If moving these files to the Desktop does not resolve the issue, move them back to their original location to restore the presets, adjustment chain presets, and metadata sets. In no case will removing these files affect metadata, keywords, or adjustments already applied to images.
If none of this should help, try to boot into safe mode (hold down shift after the start up chime), to see if you have conflicting plugins or video drivers etc. installed in your admin library.

Aperture Script - Can't replicate problem

I wrote this script to rename and File Aperture projects by date : http://www.johneday.com/9/rename-and-file-aperture-projects-by-date .
A Mountain Lion user has given me this feedback:
OK, so I get the error that the EXIF tag does not have capture year. I'm on Mountain Lion, and recall that it worked on one project the very first time I ran the script after downloading and installing it... it's almost as if some flag gets set to true or false and it needs to be reset.
Can anyone running Mountain Lion replicate this problem for me? Any insights about what is going wrong for him would be appreciated.

EXIF Tag Name Mapping
The following table provides a mapping between EXIF tag names found in the Aperture 3 interface and EXIF tag names that appear in AppleScript.

Well, the obvious answer to your question is that Aperture in not seeing a 'CaptureYear' EXIF tag on an image. The way you have your try block set up, that amounts to a fatal error in your script. why it's not seeing a capture year is a different question. you might try asking the user with the problem to log the EXIF names for the images s/he's working on:
get name of every EXIF tag of image versions of theParent
you might also try breaking the complex command down into two simpler commands, in case ML has introduced a race condition:
set movables to get (image versions of theParent whose (value of EXIF tag "CaptureYear" is year of aDate) and (value of EXIF tag "CaptureMonthOfYear" is (month of aDate as integer)) and (value of EXIF tag "CaptureDayOfMonth" is day of aDate))
move movables to project isoImageDate of folder projectMonth of folder projectYear
Of course, it could just be goofy user error as well - trying to run the script on an empty album or somesuch.
Sorry I can't test this myself; my copy of aperture is an expired demo I keep around so I have access to the scripting dictionary (aperture questions are common enough to make that worthwhile), so I can't actually use it for anything.

Aperture can't empty Trash on USB storage (permissions)

Problem:
- Aperture 3.6 cannot delete referenced files located on external USB storage directly attached to my MacBook Pro with Yosemity.
- When I try to empty Trash in Aperture, I get "You don’t have access to the System Trash on the original files’ volume."
The drive is NTFS formatted 4Tb in RAID-1 (Raidon's GR3630-SB3 model).
I have Paragon's "NTFS for Mac OS" installed on my MacBook which works fine and Access Permissions enabled.
At the same time, I tested my 64Gb USB flash drive with NTFS and it worked FINE!
I played with permissions using 3rd party apps like BatChmod. No luck.
I googled and searched this Forum.
People had similar problems with NAS (networked) storage, though if a storage is directly attached, they say it should work as designed.
One solution is a script, though it skipped some of the referenced files - unpredictable results and risks to the master's library.
Any idea how to fix this drive or Aperture issue?
Thanks.

I can't confirm now if drive's trashes can be seen in the main Mac Trash. It's busy replicating RAID1 now. I will check later.
That is your next step. Post back when you can test it.
However as noted, this will always be problematic and if reformatting the drive for OS X is not possible then I'd strongly suggest you get a drive to store your referenced originals on. Given the price of disk, just got 2tb for $80 US at newegg this would seem to be your best option.

Imac, aperture, sraw, 10.6.3 - problem

I have a problem after updating to 10.6.3
Picture under the reference
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s103/uspehov-info/diff/2010-04-02120750.png
I use imac 24 2.16 3GB
aperture 3.0.2
canon eos 5d mk2 (shooting in!!!!!! sRAW!!!!!!!)
Usual RAW - it is normal
The problem has appeared after updating to 10.6.3
At photo export - artefacts are not present
At change of an exposition or curves or any other parametre - artefacts change the kind and at export they are not present!!!

Add me to the group. Using Imac 24 with the same video card. I had an occassional grahic bug on 10.6.2, but only after doing multiple adjustments. 10.6.3 really caused the bug to happen on virtually every photo including new RAW images that had no adjustments. Read in another post to install SL over the 10.6.3 and then do 10.6.2 combo (i had originally done the 10.6.3 combo) and trash the aperture plist preferences, did permissions, did consistency check/repair on AP3.02 library. I did all of that and it didn't make any difference. I even had graphic issues when filling out the Aperture Feedback Bug report (Aperture had already crashed), so issues are not entirely with Aperture, unless AP is sucking out all of the memory to cause the issue. Do we have defective 7300gt cards?, did SL cause the video card to go crazy? How to correct? Out of warranty and read where not worth it replace video card. Will Apple read these posts? Submit more feedback reports. AP3.02 was really working quite well and I'm not very happy with unknown solution

Can't drag icon on Desktop to Trash, + another Trash problem

"The item "FB814B00" can't be moved to the Trash because it can't be deleted".
I have two such files on my Desktop, different only in the name number:
I have been using MS Office Excel but Excel is presently not running. When I drag the files to the Trash, a "+" sign attaches to the icon, indicating that it is about to be copied somewhere. If I Double-click on it, nothing happens. I can drag other files to the Trash.
Also, if I try to empty the Trash I get:
" The operation can’t be completed because the item “P6290780.JPG” is in use." Stop Continue. Pressing "Continue seems to do nothing. I have searched for “P6290780.JPG” using Spotlight and have four of them: Two on my Carbon Copy cloner bootable Backup external HD; one in iPhoto as a
Thumbnail and one in iPhoto in a folder called "Masters". I cannot find an open opy of that file.
Now, I have just noticed that there is only one file in the Trash. It is “P6290780.JPG”. Spotlight did not find it.
This seems to be a Mac problem rather than an MS Office problem.
Any ideas please?
iMac mid 2011, OS 10.7.1

Solved both problems by Restarting the iMac.
I have had a Mac since the dark days of 1996 and an Apple speaker at a big London exhibition advised restarting the machine about three times per day. This was, as I remember, to clear out accumulated corruption etc. As a result, I did that (but every two days). When I got my new iMac (mid 2011) and Lion 7.1 I thought that those days were gone, but presumably not. (My Mac had been running for about 7 days since the last restart.)

Many Trash problems with leopard and no fix

Hi
I posted that my trash is not emptying under any circumstances no one seemed to know how to solve this. i noticed that there are several people with trash issues (some not emptying until restart, others cant see the trash) i just hope that apple fix this with an update or something. meanwhile i am using a program called onyx to empty my trash and it works fine.

I am not an expert on this but i had a problem similar to what you experienced. I deleted tens of thousands of stuff at one go and it got stuck at one point. But the difference between your experience and mine is that it gave a dialog saying it cant find the file xxx to delete and also that i should click continue to proceed further. needless to say, i had to do that twenty to thirty times with each tiem a dialog popping up with same message but different file. when done, it seems to have deleted all other files except the ones it showed in dialog box. So i opened trash again and option clicked it and everything went away without any dialogs. hope that helps.
I dont know if that applies to secure emptying the trash.

Aperture 2 install - serial number problem

Disclaimer: I'm pretty good on a pc. Absolutely terrible on Mac, never had so many problems with tech :/
So...I have my serial number from the back of the Aperture 2 "Installing your software" booklet. Checked that I'm entering "I's" not "1's." Got dashed between the sequences. Capslock on etc. Searched forum, quite a few posts on serial number problems. None matched.
Enter serial number. Second window pops up stating I've entered an upgrade serial number (I only have the expired trial version of Aperture installed), and requesting my "serial number."
I'm lost now. Checked my original docs, there's nothing on Aperture trial version. Fired up the trial and I see what looks like a license key (to Apple, not me) on the launch screen. That's not accepted by Aperture 2.
Any thoughts on this appreciated.

Thanks, think you solved this Wish the label said something like that, the box only says Aperture 2, not upgrade license. So I'm guessing I have to pay $199, and keep this $99 package to upgrade it? I hope not. I'll ask at the store.
There is a tiny label on the bottom edge of the box. Mine says "Aperture 2.0 Retail". The tiny label on my box for Final Cut Express 4 says "Final Cut Express 4.0 UPG". Does yours not say "UPG" on that little label? If not, you should be able to return it for the full version (plus pay the difference, of course). If it does say "UPG" you might be out of luck as most open software can't be returned.

Aperture Dual Monitor Color Profile Problem

I have 'discovered' an interesting problem when using my MBP with a Cintq tablet as a secondary monitor. The displayed colors agree very well in Aperture until I go to full screen and then the laptop monitor develops a greenish tint. I have tried all the different secondary display options, and in all cases where an image is displayed on both monitors the tint develops. It goes away as soon as full screen is exited. The Thunderbolt port is being used to feed the display to the Cintq (with a thunderbolt to DVI (?) adapter. I would guess that the laptop must grap the cintiq profile as soon as it goes to full screen.
In perusing the discussion group I see similar problems were reported in the past. It persists with the latewt MBP and thunderbolt, and latest build of Aperture.

I have no real answer except to say that on an older setup pre-Aperture I never did get the Cintiq 15 color well managed. I used the Cintiq mostly for palettes in Photoshop.

Aperture 3.0.2 Opening Problem

When I try to open Aperture 3.0.2 I get a Warning window stating "There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/Drive 3/Aperture Library.aplibrary" with the only option being to Quit. This is a new problem-Aperture 2 versions worked fine and Aperture 3 worked for the first few 'boots' and then this started. If I open Keynote and search the Aperture Library everything is there. I have reinstalled 3 and done the updates to 3.0.2 since this started and still no luck in getting into Aperture.

Gerry - have you tried to run any 'Aperture Library First Aid'?
If not, give the three steps listed in the [Troubleshooting Basics|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805|Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics] article a shot.
