Aperture 3.4.5 won't convert previous library.

Aperture is my go to program and I have about 10 GB of photos.
All but current library are saved out to a DROBO in separate libraries.
I need to open libraries from time to time but this version is not helping:
I get this error message no matter which library I am trying to open.
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Volumes/Storage 1/Storage/Aperture libraries/iPhoto Library - sort thru.aplibrary”.
MacBoo Pro
Using OSX Lion 10.7.5
Extra RAM installed
Can somebody tell me that this can be worked around? I am worried that years of carefully stored and backed up photos are inaccessible.

I am worried that years of carefully stored and backed up photos are inaccessible.
If you are referring to the images or libraries on the Dobro please remember that RAID is not backup. You still need regular backups of your image files and libraries separate from the Dobro.

IPhoto Library upgrade version won't import previous library

So I have been reading past posts and have figured out how to locate my iphoto library. I have my originals & I can view them in Preview. However, I can't get them into iphoto, I get an error message. I also tried to re-import the whole library and I got a "cannot import album" error message. Please help, anything would be appreciated! In the meantime, I'm burning CD's a plenty!

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Can you describe what you're trying to do in more detail and how you upgraded to the version you're currently at, i.e from what version to what version? What is the error message exactly?
If you're upgrading from an earlier version, 5 or 6, to V7 you upgrade the application and then launch it. It will open the library and tell you it needs to be updated. Click OK and it should convert it to the new version. You should not create a new library and try to import the old library.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Aperture Locks Up and Won't Open Selected Library

I recently did some housekeeping on my system drive..... now Aperture does not connect to the managed library or vault. The library is on a separate drive and shows 40 gigs.
I have done the following:
1. Re-Installed Aperture and set the Library location in preferences.... all I get is the spinning wheel.
2. Started Aperture holding down the option key and pointed to the library or vault..... all I get is the spinning wheel.
I obviously messed up something when I did my housekeeping, but I thought re-installing the program would fix that issue. I've searched through the posts and forums and can't find a similar problem. Any ideas? I'm stuck!
Thanks!

You should try to rebuild your library. There is a way to force Aperture to rebuild the library on startup through a key sequence which I do not remember. I know I had to do this once when I was in a similar situation as you.
Here is a link that talks about how to do it

If they will play but will not convert, you probably have DRM "protected" files. Were they purchased prior to mid-2009?
If so, and you don't want to burn, your choice is either to replace them, or to upgrade them by using Match. For the latter option, see
iTunes Store: iTunes Plus Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
and look at the section on "Can I upgrade my previously purchased music to iTunes Plus?"

Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert 206 Page Word Document into PDF

Hi there
As menetioned above, Acrobat XI Pro Won't Convert my 206 Page Word Document into a PDF. The Word document was originally a PDF file that I converted to Word and it has split all the text into sections.
It sounds like converting a PDF into Word isn't the best way to edit, re-format and then save as a PDF again. I would love to hear your advice on this.
Thanks very much for your help!
Fiona

First before you recreate the PDF from the Word Document.
In word: Open Document
Next open a new Blank docment
switch back to Word click on the ¶ button
scroll to of go to very end of docment.
click just to right of the perion in the last sentence.
now go to very beginning of document
Hold down the Shift and click to the right of first letter in document.
Now choose copy.
Now switch to Blank document
Choose Paste special.
Now choose Text only.
If works all the words will be there spaced correct but with no ¶'s.
Now insert returns as desired.
Now save as a docx file under a different name.
IF you are on a Mac use the following directions:
go to File menu > Print > PDF Hold down PDF button until Context menu pops up.
Choose adobe PDF.
follow steps when the first window opens.
Save as PDF in desired location.
Now open the PDF in Acrobat. Document should be properly formatted and ready to go.
AS you've found The conversion is not seamless. Acrobat doesn't distingish between automatic end of line breaks and Returns and you have to put the pieces back again. I wish Adobe and MS would get over the jealouscy of each other and share howcode works so Thatapplications could work seamlessly together. BUt they never will.

I used to use the free version of Adobe Reader to convert my publisher files to pdf files. When I was making a booklet for our hockey team, it said I had to buy it. Now I bought it and it won't convert the files. I am ready to throw this computer out the window!! Can you tell me what is the problem? No it does not exceed 100 M. either.

Adobe Reader never converted Publisher files to PDF, for free, never. I suspect you use to have the (paid for) Adobe Acrobat. Sometimes people have Acrobat (more than $300 worth) and install Adobe Reader over the top, losing that valuable software.
That said, if you subscribed to PDF Pack it should do this conversion. What exactly happens now.

Flash won't import mp4 from Camtasia, demands an FLV; Media encoder won't convert to FLV; H264 isn't accepted either.

Flash won't accept the basic mp4 output from Camtasia, it tells me to use Media Encoder to convert it to FLV.
Media Encoder won't convert to F4V or FLV.
I used Media Encoder to convert to H264, but Flash will still not import it.
Could somebody please tell me the best export / convert / import options for getting Camtasia video into Flash (as an embedded video - can't do streaming).
Any tips much appreciated.
Flash Pro CC 2014 and Camtasia Studio 8.4.4.
cheers

Get Media Encoder CS6, which supports conversion to f4v/flv:

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.

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this?

After updating to Yosemite, I updated iPhoto. Alert said to convert my library to new iPhoto. Then alert said I needed to repair permissions. Then a freeze. Then iPhoto won't find and show my library. How do I fix this? I can see the library icon on my external drive, but it doesn't show as a library in iPhoto. When I double click on the icon, nothing happens. When I choose it from alternate menu, doesn't open. Where do I get help?

Peter
Do you have a back up? What version of iPhoto do you have? Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

Aperture 3.4.1 won't export photos OS 10.8.2

Aperture 3.4.1 won't export photos OS 10.8.2. ?? Just sits there, no spinning globe, just nothing.

I have 10.8.2 and Aperture 3.4.1.
No problem to export originals and versions.

Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?

Aperture import plug-in won't run. After examining my library the number of image files stays at "undetermined" and the import button stays greyed out. Any thoughts?

Others have the same issue, with the import button being grayed out. My trail copy expired, but I believe by poking around in the options and selecting another Aperture library and re-selecting, I was able to continue.
The problem is common enough, that hopefully Adobe will address. In the mean time, try repairing your Aperture library, checking permissions, exporting a subset of your library for a test, or try putting that library subset on an external drive. (Can usually avoid permissions issues.)

Imported files won't convert

I'm trying to import some of my own audio files (mp3 and wav formats) but when I do so they supposedly 'import' but won't convert and drop into the timeline. Other files (such as those I've downloaded from iTunes) work fine. I need some ideas about what' wrong with my files. Thanks.

Try converting them in iTunes: http://www.bulletsandbones.com/GB/FAQPages/NeverFail.html
Believe it or not I once had to convert an mp3 to an mp3 to get it to work properly.
