Aperture 3.4.5 upgrade won't allow me to rate multiple images

I recently upgraded my Mac OS from Snow Leopard (10.6) to Mountain Lion (10.8) on both a Mac Pro Laptop and Mac Pro Tower.  The System upgrades required me to upgrade from Aperture 3.2.4 to Aperture 3.4.5 on both machines.
Consequently, I have run into a strange anomoly on my Mac Pro Tower that I am not experiencing on my Mac Pro Laptop -- when working in Aperture on my Mac Pro Tower I am not able to Rate multiple images at a time ... no matter how many images I select (2 or 200) only one image will respond to the command.
I experienced this same issue back a couple years ago with earlier versions of Aperture 3 ... I don't remember how the issue was resolved.
I guess the issue is whether this is an Aperture issue, an OS issue, a User issue, etc.
Has anyone else experienced this problem?  ... any solutions out there?
Thanks

This looks like you may have the "Primary Only" flag enabled. Turn it off, then you should be able to rate several photos at once, see:
                 Keywords or ratings are applied only to one of the selected images - why?

  • HT1349 ITunes failed to start after an upgrade, won't allow me to re-install saying "Apple Mobile Device failed to start, check for sufficient priveleges"

    My ITunes library failed to start after an upgrade, now I'm unable to open or re-install.  Receive an error message stating that "apple mobile device failed to start, check to see that you have sufficient priveleges to run system".  Any help with this?  I've tried un-installing and downloading only to get the same message again.

    Thank you to "turingtest2", solution for someone else worked for me as well!

  • Aperture 3 Upgrade:  Can't Keyword or Rate Multiple Images

    Select more than 1 image and apply a rating or a keyword. The rating/keyword only gets applied to only 1 of the images.
    This worked in Aperture 2.
    Is anyone else seeing this?

    You sure you haven't got 'Primary Only' in operation?

  • Disk Utility won't allow me to restore from image

    I've been keeping pretty good backups for a while now and I have started using SuperDuper to keep whole DMGs as well as using Time Machine. Today I planned on restoring from an image I had made. However, when I go to use the Restore function in Disk Utility, it lets me choose the disk image but will not let me drag the volume on the destination field.
    I've been having startup problems all day and I eventually got a 9972 error in Disk Utility.
    I'm having trouble finding my install disks and this is my only real option for today. I can't find much about this on Google either.

    There's no point in using a disc image for a backup. Better to simply clone to a backup drive then maintain the clone with incremental updates. Use a normal backup utility such as Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper.
    As for the 9972 error you will find it's a really difficult error to correct. See the following:
    How to Deal with a -9972 Error
    Contributed by Fumiaki Kawashima
    The error message, "Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit (-9972)" is a serious filesystem error in the Mac OS X Core Foundation. The problem can also lead to other critical errors such as "Keys Out of Order," "Invalid node structure" and/or "Invalid sibling link." The causes and scenarios vary. Troubleshooting a solution may depend upon computer configuration and whether the -9972 error is accompanied by other critical errors. This issue can also lead up to a kernel panic. If the error occurs when an external FireWire device is connected, disconnect it until you verify the device's compatibility.
    Symptoms:
    In most cases, you are unable to restart from Mac OS X.
    * A volume is grayed out or not mounted with or without a kernel panic.
    * A folder with a flashing question mark may appear.
    * A bad partition map may be reported.
    * A target disk mode solution may not work.
    * Most likely, Disk Utility, Norton Utilities, TechTool and DiskWarrior cannot fix the issues.
    * The high level disk format (Standard format) may unable to perform.
    * You may unable to re-initialize the hard drive.
    * A disk physically malfunctions in the worst case.
    Example of an accompanied error message:
    DiskWarrior normally fixes 1 to 6, but cannot fix errors 7 to 10 if the symptoms are very bad. There is no definite case.
    01. Volume check failed
    02. Invalid B-tree Header
    03. Invalid map node
    04. Invalid extents entry
    05. Invalid clump size
    06. Incorrect block count file
    07. Invalid node structure
    08. Overlapped extent allocation
    09. Keys Out of Order
    10. Invalid sibling link
    Related documents:
    What to Do When It Finds an Error
    Technical overview of disk volume structures
    Possible causes:
    * Third-party FireWire device or enclosure, or other peripheral devices.
    * Third-party mass storage drives or PCI card issues.
    * Incompatible third-party kernel extensions.
    * Mac OS X installer disc is improperly treated.
    Solutions:
    If possible and needed, back up data before troubleshooting. Methods (4) and (5) are for Power Mac desktop computers other than G5 models. The best bet is method (4) if you encounter multiple bad errors.
    1. Unplug the power cord. Disconnect all third-party hardware except Apple keyboard and mouse before you start.
    2. Do NOT re-install any third-party software/hardware until you completely solve the issue(s) and carefully investigate the compatibility with Mac OS X 10.3.x you install.
    3. If another critical error "Invalid sibling link" is detected at any phases, disconnect and reconnect all internal power cords and data cables for hard drives and any ATAPI device. To do so, you may need to read the computer's CIP Instructions in advance. Normally, you do not need to remove third-party RAMs.
    Method 1:
    (1) Start up from Mac OS X 10.3.x Panther Full Install CD or DVD.
    (2) Re-initialize and re-partition the hard drive. RECOMMENDATION: Select "Zero all data" option if "Invalid node structure" or "Keys Out of Order" error is detected.
    If this method is of avail, go to Method 2 or greater.
    Method 2:
    (1) Start up in Mac OS 9.2.2 and shut down the computer.
    (2) Start up from a copy of a Disk Warrior bootable CD for Mac OS 9.2.2.
    (3) Run DW to fix the damage(s).
    Method 3:
    (1) Unplug the computer.
    (2) Find a second ATA drive and jumper it as MASTER. Jumper the hard drive in question as SLAVE. Verify the jumper pin settings.
    (3) Install Mac OS 9.2.x system on the MASTER drive, and update it to Mac OS 9.2.2.
    (4) Start up from Mac OS 9.2.2. Re-initialize and re-partition the damaged hard drive with Drive Setup using the "Zero all data" option. Unplug the computer and reconfigure the jumper pin setting on the repaired drive for MASTER and the second drive for SLAVE.
    (5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition the repaired drive to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
    You may want to try starting up from Mac OS 9.2.x Full Install CD instead of from (2) to (4).
    Method 4:
    (1) Find a desktop computer that has an ATA controller PCI card (SCSI environment) and has two hard drive bays. This will make your damaged drive appear as a quasi-SCSI hard drive. Mac OS 9.2.2 must be pre-installed on the computer. I recommend a host computer that installs an Ultra DMA/xxx or xxx (ATA-x) interface equal to or better than the damaged drive with backwards compatible.
    (2) Set the host computer's primary drive as MASTER and your damaged hard drive as SLAVE and install the damaged drive in the second drive bay of the host computer. Verify properly configured jumper pin settings in advance.
    (3) Start up the host computer from Mac OS 9.2.2. Launch the "Drive Setup" utility. Re-initialize the damaged disk on the second drive using the "Low level format" option. It may take hours but less than "Zero all data" option. Note: Normally, a low level format with a quasi-SCSI drive takes much less (30 - 40%) time than an ATA configuration drive. Note that "Low level format" fixes all difficult logical damage.
    (4) Put the fixed disk back in your computer's drive bay. Re-configure the jumper pin setting to MASTER before you place it into the drive bay of your computer.
    (5) Restart from Mac OS X 10.3 Panther full install CD. Re-initialize and re-partition it to install Mac OS X 10.3. Update to Mac OS X 10.3.7 via Software Update. Repair the disk permissions after each Mac OS X 10.3 installation and Mac OS X 10.3.7 update.
    Note that Panther's Disk Utility does not implement a "Low level format" option.
    Method 5:
    If Method 4 does not work or fix the damaged drive, let me know. You may need an advanced technique to fix it if the drive is physically not a problem.
    OPTION:
    Purchase a known good hard drive that conforms to your computer's ATA specification. Fix the damaged hard drive some other time. Nowadays, prices of hard drives are inexpensive.

  • How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it.

    How can I use aperture after receiving the full adobe suite? It won't allow me to use it. I receive a dialogue box which states previews are not allowed in  aperture and the application is shut down.

    Aperture is Apples version of Lightroom. This has nothing to do with Adobe. Ask on a Apple forum. You won't find many people here using this program.

  • Macbook Pro 10.5.8 won't allow upgrade of iTunes to sync with iOS 7

    Macbook Pro Mac OS X 10.5.8, won't allow upgrade of iTunes 11 to link in with iOS 7 iPhone update.
    Do I need to upgrade to Snow Leopard operating system? Or Mountain Leopard operating system?
    Help please!

    You need to upgrade your version of OS X. Whether it is to Snow Leopard, Lion or Mt Lion (Not Mountain Snow Leopard) for the newest iTunes to work with iOS 7 I'm not sure. I don't own an iPhone and if I did I wouldn't be installing iOS 7 on it.
    Oh and let me add you must first upgrade your Mac to Snow Leopard to be able to upgrade it to any of the newer version of OS X. Both Lion and Mt Lion are only availble from the Mac App Store which can only be accessed from Snow Leopard 10.6.7, or above 10.6.8, or from both Lion and Mt Lion.
    So no matter which newer version of OS X you end up with you'll need to first upgrade to Snow Leopard.

  • Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

    Am replacing airport extreme with Time Machine and want to upgrade from Tiger to Snow leopard. Am told I should manually back up into T Machine before OS update but set up utility won't allow anything with OS below 10.5 and I'm 10.4.11. What to do?

    I think you mean you are replacing your Airport Extreme with a Time Capsule. Time Machine is software integrated into OS X 10.5 & 10.6 used to automatically backup a system to an external HD. Time Capsule is an Airport Extreme that has a hard disk integrated into it that can be used for storage or  as a Time Machine backup drive.
    Because you are currently on Tiger 10.4.x you can backup to a external HD using SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner. Having a backup is very wise before doing any major system update. After  you have created the backup and have successfully upgraded to Snow Leopard you can still use the external HD for many things. The strategy I'd recommend is to use the new Time Capsule as your Time Machine backup and then use the external HD as backup using SuperDuper or CCC. Redundant backups is wise because backups can (and do) fail too! In addition both SD and CCC are bootable clones, this is useful in that if your internal HD crashes you can boot from a cloned drive and continue working until the internal HD is replaced.
    Below are some links to some articles from MacWorld, I would recommend reading them where you find a common theme, redundant backups. Backup Plan I, Backup Plan II & Backup Plan III.

  • App Store stuck on "waiting" for OS X upgrade 10.8.4. and won`t allow shutdown.

    App Store is stuck on "waiting" for OS X upgrade 10.8.4. I succesfully downloaded the package from apple.com and ran it but App Store won`t allow shutdown which is required for the upgrade to take place. What am I to do?

    For the App Store, do a Force Quit, go to the apple left side of the menu bar and choose force quit.  That should free the machine to then restart.

  • Hi I have upgraded my gb on my iPad to 25 gb and it says I have 20.2gb available but it won't allow me to download a movie why is this?

    Hi I have upgraded my gobs on my iPad to 25 gb and it says I have 20.2 gb available but it won't allow me to download a movie why is that? And can anyone help please?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    You have upgraded iCloud storage, but what you need is free space on the iPad storage to download the movie, so open Settings > General > Use, and remove things from your iPad until you have enough storage to download the movie.
    Respecting to iCloud, you can get a refund if you contact with Apple > http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/contact It is a common mistake by users

  • IOS 8 won't allow me to delete photos in phone library

    Upgraded my wife's phone to iOS 8. She needs to make room on her phone by deleting photos and that option doesn't appear. Tried turning off Photo Stream and iCloud Photo Sharing, to no avail. Tried re-syncing with computer....no help. Tried rebooting phone....no help. Curiously, my phone doesn't seem to have this quirk. Any ideas? BTW they are iPhone 5.

    My phone won't allow me to delete them off. I don't know how all these pictues and movies moved onto my phone in the first place.
    Have you synced your iPhone with iTunes? Then you may have enabled the syncing of Pictures in iTunes. All iPhoto or Aperture albums and events will appear as albums on your iPhone, if you enabled this. To delete the synced photos you need to sync your iPhone again. You change the sync settings for photos in iTunes in the device’s Photo pane.

  • I have FaceTime on my macbook pro but want to add it to my Mac pro.  Since I've already purchased the app, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the app for both computers?  How can I access FaceTime for this computer v. 10.6.8?

    I have FaceTime on my Macbook Pro but want to add it to my Mac Pro v. 10.6.8.  Since I've previously purchased it in the app store, it won't allow me to purchase it again.  Can I use the same app for both of my computers?  If so, how do I access the app to download it?

    If you upgrade to Lion it comes bundeled with it!
    To get it on your Mac Pro just copy the aplication from the aplication folder on your MacBook.  You can do this via a thumb drive or over a local network connection.

  • Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Photoshop cs6 won't allow me to highlight my existing text layers. I select the text tool and the text layer I want to edit, hover over text and each time I attempto to edit a new layer is created. Does anyone have experience with this problem?

    Be sure you go to Adobe's Web Site and make sure there are no Updates for CS6
    http://www.adobe.com
    Remember if you have trouble with a software issue it is the software and not caused by the Mac you are using
    Many users simply don't remember when you upgrade software you normally have to go to 3rd party web sites and update software as well.

    You’re running an outdated copy of Safari on your Desktop. That won’t work.
    In the Finder, select
    Go ▹ Applications
    from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-A to open the Applications folder. Check that the Safari application is in that folder. If it is, use it, and delete the copy on your Desktop. Never move or copy built-in applications.
    If you've deleted Safari from the Applications folder, back up all data, then reinstall OS X. If your Mac was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you’ll need the Apple ID and password you used to upgrade, so make a note of those before you begin.
