Aperture 3.3 Upgrade, still not actually managed to use Aperture for anything!

I eagerly downloaded 3.3 as soon as it was available - the idea of a shared library/format between iPhoto and Aperture is great - sharing Faces/Places etc.
But I haven't been able to do anything with it yet!  After the initial library conversion, once I'd gone into Aperture it started generating previews for my entire collection - about 50,000 images - not sure why this was necessary - since the previews were there before the upgrade.
I've had the activity window more or less permanently open since I did the upgrade last week, and there are still over 8,000 previews to go - hopefully by the weekend it will have finished and I'll actually be able to try out some of the new features.
While doing this preview generation, Aperture hangs periodically (and never seems to recover requiring a force quit and restart) when it tries simultaenously to sync the Facebook albums.
I mention all this because unlike with the previous version, when if there was some activity to carry out, if you started to use Aperture, the activities would pause - this doesn't seem to happen now - or at least the application is so busy with the background activity, that it doesn't seem possible to kick off an action that might make it suspend background activity.
Doesn't look like a stable release to me so far - although maybe after this questionable preview re-generation I'll find a different story - has anyone else encountered this behaviour?

Same here.  I was able to open the Activity window and pause the generation of Previews.  I did this in order to access some of the Images in the Library.  I don't advise doing any work with it, though, until it is completely stable.  On restart, it will again commence generating Previews (and in my case, thumbnails).
I don't know what the problem is, or why it happened, or whether once it finishes generating Previews it will be stable.
Extrapolating, it seems it will take about four days of solid processing to generate all the Previews.  Ouch.

    Force the phone into recovery mode and restore it. Do NOT restore your backup. The restriction settings are part of the backup. If you can't remember the restriction passcode, there's no other way around it.

    bgar
    On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running on?
    What are you (manually) or the project (automatically) setting as the project preset?
    (See Edit Menu/Project Settings/General and the readings for Editing Mode, Timebase, Frame Size,
    and Pixel Aspect Ratio (even if fields look grayed out).
    What are the properties of these source media, including file extension? The brand/model/settings of the camera that recorded the
    video may give us this information.
    When the source media hit the Timeline for the first time, is there an orange line over their content? Or is there
    no colored line and an orange line appears over them only after you have edited them?
    Please elaborate on "poof" after rendering the Timeline content by pressing the Render button above the Timeline content with the orange line over it.

    b. Other?

    hmm... i wonder if that's "official" or if the installer just doesn't check. i still have cs2 installed on this box, as well as cs3 ee. the rep said that didn't matter as far as the terms of the license went though. (i still say that's not clear and is up for interpretation.) i still haven't decided which i'm going for. the point of my query with the online rep was really to get it cleared up once and for all.
    do you still have cs2 or cs installed there too? or just cs3 ee and cs4 standard?
    thanks for the info nick.

  • Firefox not working correctly after using it for awhile

    Well, I did solve one issue by updating the drivers for my graphics card. This at least stopped Firefox from totally crashing my whole computer and having to reboot it. BUT after bringing it up and using it for awhile it will stop responding such as clicking on a bookmark, trying to go to the google search window etc. Also I am still unable to use certain buttons on some screens such as the print button in Mapquest or on forums where you have to click to see more smileys and that type of action. Now this is an issue constantly not just when Firefox is crashing. When Firefox starts crashing now, I have to use the task manager to close it out, which I did in fact this morning. I walked away from the computer and AGAIN when I came back later (which happens often) Firefox wouldn't load. I looked at the task manager and the dang thing was still running from the last time I used it even though I had stopped it initially through task manager. I'm ready for an update that solves these issue. I've enjoyed Firefox but it's beginning to be a big aggravation. If there are no new updates coming out soon, can we download the version before this one (3.6.12)? I want to go back to the older version, at least it worked.

    I got the same problem. need a solution. Did all the updates.

  • Accessing knowledge management documents using webdynpro for java

    Dear all,
    iam having some documnets in KNLOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT documents folder in portal using webdynpro for java clicking on a link means perner(employee no) i should get that perpicular employee number documents.
    examples documents are stored like this in knowledege management folder 20016319.pdf  ,  20016397.pdf  ,  20016398.
    how to access those employee using webdynpro for java for perticular employee number if i want 20016319
    Send me the code for above requirement and where i have to wrirte that code exactly
    Regards

    Dear Kishore,
    To get the Employee ID you have to create a Adaptive RFC Model (call BAPI) which will return you the employee pernr, for this
    1. Create a model using  : BAPI_EMPLOYEE_GETDATA
    2. Get User ID using the code
    public java.lang.String getUserID( )
        //@@begin getUserID()
         String userID = new String();
              try
                    // getting Logged in userid
                   IWDClientUser myUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();
                   userID = myUser.toString().substring(19).trim();
                   StringTokenizer filterdUID = new StringTokenizer(userID,")");
                   userID = filterdUID.nextToken();
              catch (WDUMException e)
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   return userID;
        //@@end
    3. Execute the BAPI
    public java.lang.String getEmployeeID( java.lang.String userID )
        //@@begin getEmployeeID()
         String employeeID = new String();
              Bapi_Employee_Getdata_Input employeeData = new Bapi_Employee_Getdata_Input();
              Bapi_Employee_Getdata_Output outData = new Bapi_Employee_Getdata_Output();
              Bapip0105B comm = new Bapip0105B();
              com.sap.aii.proxy.framework.core.AbstractList list = new Bapip0105B.Bapip0105B_List();
              list.add(comm);
              employeeData.setUserid(userID);
              Calendar cal = Calendar.getInstance(Locale.UK);
              Date date = new Date(cal.getTimeInMillis());
              employeeData.setDate(date);
              employeeData.setAuthority_Check("");
              employeeData.setCommunication(list);
              outData.addCommunication(comm);
              wdContext.nodeBapi_Employee_Getdata_Input().bind(employeeData);
              wdContext.nodeOutput_BAPI().bind(outData);
            try
                   wdContext.nodeBapi_Employee_Getdata_Input().currentBapi_Employee_Getdata_InputElement().modelObject().execute();
                   wdContext.nodeOutput_BAPI().invalidate();
            catch (WDDynamicRFCExecuteException e) {printMsg("Failed to Obtain Employee Data");
                 e.printStackTrace();
            employeeID = wdContext.nodeBapi_Employee_Getdata_Input().nodeOutput_BAPI().nodeOrg_Assignment().currentOrg_AssignmentElement().getPerno();
            return employeeID;
        //@@end
    Hope it Helps!!

  • Firefox updates will not work 100% after using it for about 8 months

    Since I use FireFox for 8 months every standard update will not fully install. So I always have to cancel the question to reach or become the Home website.
    Last moth and sometimes before I couldn't reach it for hours...although I started up again and again my computer or try to exe the downloaded version again and again...

    well i kinda fixed it i spose...
    i deleted everything in appdata under mozilla & macromedia and deleted the plugins folder from my installation folder for ff3. uninstalled ff3, reinstalled ff3. now everything works fine. just have to redo my bookmarks & settings.
    sorry to waste anyone's time...but hopefully if someone else has the problem, now they can fix it. peace.

  • Express HD Upgrade will not accept Express V1 serial number for install

    Hi,
    I've been using FCE V1 for a while now, and just purchased FCE HD as a personal Christmas present Unfortunately it will not accept the (legitimate) serial number from the V1 product during the installation, so I'm stuck at this point. Is there any trick that I'm missing here, or does the Upgrade only work from V3 or V2 serial numbers?
    Thanks,
    Graham
    Mac Mini   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I have found with some software (don't remember if that included my upgrade to FCE HD or no), that sometimes, the SN in printed in lower case on the sticky tag, but the upgrade will only take upper case (or visa versa). Try using the other case if it doesn't work.
    Also, you need the serial number from the sticky tag which came with the software. The SN display in the "about FCE" splash screen is incomplete (missing at least three letters/numbers at the end).

  • HFP STILL NOT WORKING LIKE IT USED TO IN iOS7

    When using iMaps turn by turn directions before iOS8, you could leave your car radio on an FM station and when a directions was spoken, it would stop the FM broadcast for a moment, speak the direction over the car's speakers and then go back to FM. Since iOS8, it won't do this. You can only hear the directions if you leave the radio on bluetooth. Is this going to be fixed?

    Yes. When I click on it, it gives me volume control and output control. The output can be iphone or HandsFreeLink. When using HFL, it only works when my radio is tuned to bluetooth. It doesn't work when I use FM radio like I used to. I don;t want to keep my radio on bluetooth just to hear directions every now and then, I want to listen to the radio and have iMAPs break in when it needs to.

  • Has anyone managed to use Postgres for wiki and local db ?

    I've seen all over the internet questions and solutions for:
    could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory
              Is the server running locally and accepting
              connections on Unix domain socket "/var/pgsql_socket/.s.PGSQL.5432"?
    some of the solutions kind of stop the postgessql server. That is, apparently according to this
    post by Todd  Heberlein, they stop the wiki and webpage servers but allow for your own db.
    Actually I'd like to know if it is possible to have the same postgressql instal (the OS X Server) used for both the wiki\web\etc pages and for our own local db.
    If so, how?
    Much appreciated.

    Thank you both.
    Linc, I finally understood what was going on once I read the KB page.
    There are already running two different postgress processes on the server.
    One is for the server itself and other for our use.
    Once I understood that, I could figure out what to do.
    As for you, MrHoffman, I assume the page you pointed me to your page. If so, let me know there are some things that are different in ML and I can use what I did to post it there.
    It was very helpfull.
    Thank you so much.
    Anyway, before I forget:
    One has to look  at  "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Config/com.apple.postgres.plist
    and check the listen_address for this file. Set it to 127.0.0.1 and everything works fine
    Here is the output I get:
    $ sudo serveradmin start postgres
    Password:
    postgres:state = "RUNNING"
    petrescu:Config deivy$ serveradmin fullstatus postgres
    postgres:dataDirHasBeenInitialized = yes
    postgres:PG_VERSION = "9.2.1"
    postgres:dataDir = "/Library/Server/PostgreSQL/Data"
    postgres:postgresIsResponding = yes
    postgres:dataDirIsDirectory = yes
    postgres:PGserverVersion = 90201
    postgres:dataDirExists = yes
    postgres:setStateVersion = 1
    Very happy! Thanks

  • How to check actual allocated and used memory for java process in solaris?

    Hi,
    I'm testing performance for java application on solaris 10. And I would like to know how to measure actual memory allocated and used for java process.
    I'm setting -Xms512m -Xmx512m for my java process and I use prstat command to monitor it's memory. But I found that when I run prstat to check, in SIZE column is more than I setting (found 644).
    So I'm don't know the actual memory that java process used. (In this case,is it mean the process use memory (644) more than setting (512)?)
    Thank you.

    With Xms/Xmx you specify the Java heap size. On top of that comes the permanent generation (default max size 64m) and the C part of the process (the JVM itself with all its libraries and data).
    With "ps -e -o pid,vsz,rss,args" you get the virtual and set resident size of your processes.
    Nick.

  • Upgrade from CS2 to CS4 but use serial for a CS3 install?

    So, we do not want to go to CS4 just yet.
    Is there any way to buy a CS4 license but just install CS3 for now?

    A disc (for CS3 which we have from other seats on the company BTW) is just a<br />disc, it's the serial that is important for licensing, that's why Adobe just<br />send out bits of paper these days and you can download a trial or an<br />installer and activate that, DOH!<br /><br /><br />On 19/02/2009 16:52, in article [email protected], "Buko"<br /><[email protected]> wrote:<br /><br />> How can you install CS3 if you don't have CS3?

  • I keep on getting an error message that reads uninstal javascript set, how do I find out how to do this? This does not happen when I use IE for broswer.

    This may have happened when Firefox was updating to version 4 it was trying to connect forever and I x'ed out of the update screen. But I am not sure that this caused the problem. I have reinstalled Java, but this did not help. I tried to reset the computer do an older date, and the system will not let me reset.

    This issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions 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.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4 you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)
