Aperture 3.5.1 Import panel empty after iTunes 11.2.1 security update

Just a coincidence?
When I installed the recent iTunes 11.2.1 (1) security update, that directly followed the combined MacOS X 10.9.3 / iTunes 10.2 update, I got a warning, that Aperture had to be quit before installing the update.
After relaunching Aperture the Aperture Import panel stopped working:
The fonts in list view were upside down:
The Toolbar was empty and only gradually items kept reappearing.
The File Chooser and the Import settings bricks were empty.
Aperture was hanging on "Loading Assets" and not very responsive.
Clicking onto the empty bricks did occasionally reveal a pop-up menu:
This problem seems to be fixed, after I trashed Preferences and Presets:
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Aperture
~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Import Presets.plist
But I would like to know, if anybody else had similar problems with Aperture after the recent MacOS X 10.9.3 / iTunes 11.2.1 update.
SInce this iTunes update fixes a security issue it should not be skipped.

It was just a coincidence Sorry, iTunes!
The problem was, that a broken file on my Desktop messed up the Import panel.
As soon as I add a certain empty PDF file with the name "119435-45-55 [6L].pdf" to my Desktop, strange things will happen with the Import panel on all three of my Macs running MacOS X 10.9.3 and Aperture 3.5.1. It took me a while to identify the file, because Aperture does show the filename as empty and does not show a preview.
The Import window will be messed up -
missing icons from the Toolbar and Import settings pane,
the File Chooser will be empty,
the busy indicator will show "Loading assets", and the Activity Window "Building Thumbnails"
The thumbnail of the corrupted file will be empty and the filename is showing as empty,
When I switch to list view, all text will be upside down as shown in my original post.
The problem is not caused by the brackets in the filename; if I rename the file, Aperture is still acting up. The file cannot be opened in Preview either.

My apple remote app on my iPhone 4S has stopped working after the 7.0.6 security update.

My apple remote app on my iPhone 4S has stopped working after the 7.0.6 security update. It's not my home sharing or router setting, I have an ipad that I haven't yet updated that works completely fine and my network is run on the newest AirPort Extreme.

The mail app on my Mac laptop will not open. This began happening after an upgrade during which "Security UPdate 2012-004" was installed. My mail app has a new icon, and I think i trashed the old program (trying to follow directions). Suggest a fix?

What do I do after I got an error after trying to download the security update?

What do I do next when I got an error after trying to download the security update?

Thank you for providing these details. It makes helping you much easier.
You have a 16GB iPad, but have only 2.4GB available. This is likely contributing to the issue. This amount, 15% of the iPad's storage capacity, is the minimum free space you should have. But when updating iOS, you should expect the new version to use somewhat more space than the old. I believe going to Settings > General > Usage and freeing space will help with your issue.
Another recommendation would be to use iTunes on your computer to do the update instead of over-the-air.
I believe either one of these would help you. Both would be at least as good.

Password protected remote panel empty after login and connecting

Dear Ladies and Gentleman
We like to access our front panel by web (to be able to see what is happening) which works fine. We need also password protection in order to assure only some people have access. For this case we installed LabView 2009 SP1 32bit together with the Internet Toolkit. After following How to Setup Security for the G Server? we are forced to enter a password when opening the URL in firefox. If the correct password is entered the web site opens BUT the plugin which is needed to open/show the embedded LabView panel applet does not work!! There is a grey box indicating that something is actually going on, but nothing appears...
If we do not use password protection (i.e. G Server but the default LabView Server) everything works fine.
We are using an evaluation version of the Internet Toolkit but if this issue can be solved we would like to buy it.
Thanks a lot for your help and time

Hello Joseph
Thanks for your reply - actually I remember to have read the document you mentioned. I read the note also... but I have to admit that I did not understand what's the point;
- I do not want to 'Import' something but to 'share' / 'publish' / ...
- I do not understand what a Web Services are and what I do they need for
- I do NOT have any CGI code (just a simple VI)
- I JUST WANT TO PROTECT A WORKING REMOTE VI WITH A PASSWORD (e.g. instead of showing the VI to me, ask first for a password and THEN show it)
Sorry but as I can see this should be easy since it should be a quite common task, doesn't it? In early LV versions (before v8 or may be v6) this was simple and
described in several documents:
- http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/8D8A18E0348920A48625703B00789A41
- http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/427FE409FB11575686256DFF0008BBE4
PLEASE HELP ME! In about 1 week the evaluation period of the Internet Toolkit is over... Do I really have to write my own code for this? Is there no simple
built-in solution?
Greetings

Some PDF, .DOC, .DOCX won't import properly (open) after iTunes sync

Hi everyone,
After exporting/transferring documents from my MBP to my iPad2 (specifically .xlsx to Numbers, .Doc, .Docx, .pdf to Pages) some won't allow me to open them on the iPad and I can't figure out why.
Once I make them available to open on the iPad and I go to import from "Copy from iTunes", the odd one (less than 1 in 10) is greyed out and won't let me open it. I've tried renaming the file, removing the file type from the name, etc. etc.
Note: all .xlsx have worked; about 9/10 .doc or .docx have worked, and about 4/5 .pdf have worked, so I know I'm doing things right on the iTunes side.
Any idea what's up?

Too bad I can't answer my own questions for points!!
Solution I've found:
- emailed myself the PDF in question and opened in iBooks.
I'm wondering if you aren't supposed to be able to read PDFs in Pages, since it's a fixed document (not editable).
There you go, folks, problem solved!

Can't boot up after installing 10.4.10 + security update

I got the automatic update yesterday (5/26) and installed the system & security updates onto my G5 as usual. Got the box that says to either shut down or restart. I clicked restart, and now all my computer will do is get to the blue screen that says loading OSX and then it stays on that forever. I've disconnected all peripherals, reset the pram -- no luck. Then I booted up from the disk tools CD and ran the permissions/repairs, but on all of them it stops about 3/4 of the way through the process and won't go any further. Out of desperation I even tried to do an archive/install and it wouldn't complete. My computer was working fine before this. Any suggestions would be MOST appreciated.
G5 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

To emdh & the others:
If you hard drive has certain kinds of problems, they will be exacerbated by the updates (any updates, not just these). This can lead to an inability to restart.
These problems can be revealed by running Disk Utility's "Verify Disk" test (not the same as permissions repair). If that test shows any problems, you must restart from another disk with the OS & Disk Utility on it to repair them -- drives must be unmounted for this kind of repair to be made. Typically, people use the installer disk that came with their Mac for this.
Obviously, if your computer will not restart from an already damaged drive, you will have to restart from another one to perform the test or repair.
If the repair fails, you can try a more powerful disk repair utility like DiskWarrior, but some problems are too severe for any repair to succeed. In this case you must erase & reformat the drive, then reinstall the OS from scratch from your Tiger installer disk.
Since some disk problems are caused by failing hardware, it is a good idea to run the Verify Disk test again at this point. If your internal drive supports S.M.A.R.T. self-monitoring (& most do), you can check its status at the bottom of the Disk Utility window as another confirmation of your drive's health.
Assuming everything appears to be working correctly, you are now ready to perform any desired updates. Download a fresh copy of the Combo updater for your model (PPC or Intel) that takes you to the desired version number.
It is important not to install any third party software until this is done: anything that alters the basic operation of the OS can & usually will interfere with the update process, & since developers do not always make it evident their software does this (or sometimes claim incorrectly that it will have no effect), it is best to play it safe & avoid all of it until you can establish that the updated OS is working correctly. Add your third party stuff a little at a time, checking for proper operation after each addition. If you encounter any problems, consult the software's documentation for the best way to remove it, do so, & contact its maker to see if they have a later, compatible version.
Some users feel it is important to verify permissions before & after each install. I do not, but it can't hurt anything so do so if it makes you feel better.
There are other causes for updates to fail, but file system problems are among the most common, so the Verify Disk check is a good place to start.
Good luck!

Start up problems after Safari 3.1 and Security update

Updated safari and security update last night.
Safari downloaded and installed but there was an error downloading or installing the security update, I forgot.
After I restarted everything booted up fine, but was stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen.
Did a fsck and zap the pram, still stuck.
Today I tried booting up in safe mode, stuck on the gray screen with the apple logo.
Then I tried booting up from an external firewire dvd drive. Repaired permissions, repaired the disk, but it is still stuck on "Starting Mac OS X" screen. Help please...
Thank you

Ok i had a similar problem, with all the recent updates for Leopard, including the 10.5.2 combo update... the 12" PowerBook G4 kept getting stuck on the grey apple and spinning wheel... if it managed to get past this it would get stuck on the blue screen!!!
The way i got around this, after trying all these other tips was: Archived & Installed 10.5; restarted, waited; downloaded 10.5.2 Combo update, installed; restarted, waited; waited; waited; after getting back to desktop, restarted, waited; then ran Software Update only installing one at a time, and after each install, restarted, waited; when all Software updates completed, proceeded with iLife updates etc... It took a while (still quicker than the 3 days of failed installs and updates) with a lot of waiting on the blue screen (5-20mins) but we got there in the end. Disks where checked with Leopard Disk Utility before and after, permissions where checked before and after completing all installs, also with a DW 4.1 optimization. Also note worthy is the RAM was upgraded from the initial 256Mb (!!!) with an extra Gb.

App store blank after restarting Mac during 'Critical Security Update' for 10.9.2

Hi - this is definitely a self inflicted problem however it took me by suprise, and I wasn't sure if it was an official Apple update or some kind of new virus... I was browsing Safari when the notification came up 'Critical security update' which was weird to me as it didn't look like a standard notification, so I clicked 'later' (or equivalent) but my entire screen faded out to grey and it started updating anyway. So naturally I panicked and force shut down my computer, mainly because it was unlike any update I had encountered. After scouting around online I decided to turn it on again, and everything seems to be working, however my app store is totally blank apart from the main icons (featured, purchases, icons, etc). I now can't update it at all let alone download any new apps. I'd really appreciate any help!

Hi anto321,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your computer was shut down during an update, I recommend first starting up into Safe Mode:
Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1564
Safe Mode is a way to start up your Mac that performs certain checks and prevents certain software from automatically loading or opening.
To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
Best,
Jeremy

After downloading and installing a security update an hour ago, firefox will not start

After going online this morning, using my firefox browser, a box came up saying a security update was available and should be downloaded and installed. This was done with no apparent problem. At the end of the update a note came up saying the update would come into operation after restarting my computer. This I did. The computer started normally, but after clicking on the firefox icon the program did not start. My computer is using Windows XP Service Pack 3.

hello tncovery, does it work when you download the full setup file from getfirefox.com again & install it on top of your current installation?

Airport problems after 8/12 airport and security update

My MacBook Pro which had been working flawlessly since I got it last year received the airport and security updates distributed today. After the reboot my airport turns itself off after a few minutes and will not come back on and the computer seems to be running hotter than usual. Booting from a recent clone of the drive without the updates did not fix the problem and the card turned itself off a few minutes after the reboot and will not come back on.
Anyone having similar problems after the update?

Does your problem occur only when unplugged. If so, then maybe this update is for you: http://support.apple.com/downloads/AirPortClient_Update_for_MacBook_and_MacBookPro. Check it out, but use your own judgment in installing; not much info is provided.

I Mac Flower Power Mac OS X (10.3.9)

The same thing is happening to me, and I am a couple of applications I try to use "unexpectedly quit" when I open them--applications that I updated immediately after the Security Update. Also, my computer will not recognize my external La Cie hard drive! Help!

After 10.4.9 u+security update no more eject/sound keys

After updating to 10.4.9(PPC) and applying the latest security updates my 3
sound keys and eject cd/dvd key dont work anymore.
they even dont show up on keyboard layout utility.
usual solutions (nvram,pram) applied t o no avail.
somebody got a solution?

Then, it might be a keyboard problem. The MacPro Keyboard that came with my G4 doesn't exhibit any of your problems. Do these: reinstall the 10.4.9 COMBO update, boot with your install disk and repair the disk and permissions, or get another keyboard to see if the problem persists.

AME import window empty after AE project converted to CC 2014

Running Mac OSX 10.9.4, I have After Effects CC, and CC 2014. I have Adobe Media Encoder CC, and CC 2014.
I have been working in AE CC on a composition and encoding it in AME CC 2014 without this issue.
This morning, I converted the project (.aep) to AE CC 2014, made some changes, removed all unused footage, and saved as a new filename. I am very stupid.
Now when I open the new filename in AME CC 2014 it says "Connected to dynamic link server" but shows nothing in the Composition window and has no active progress bars. Therefore I cannot select my composition and render it, only click cancel.
I get the same result after closing all open applications, restarting the machine, and using AME CC instead of 2014.
I can reopen the .aep file and see all the compositions.
No error messages.
No warning signs.
Just missed deadlines, angry customers, and excuses why I can't do what I said would be possible a few hours ago.
Anyone know a solution?

What happens when you use the Add To Media Encoder Queue command in After Effects?

Site panel empty after reboot

Recently I've been experiencing some issues I think are
related to Time Machine. I went and restored a php file in one of
the site folders, and the next time I opened Dreamweaver, it
appeared to have lost all of my preferences. For example, the
welcome screen popped up, even though I had previously disabled it.
Also: every single site definition I had imported from my previous
version was now missing. I could go back though and import all 30
or so of them, but I would like to go back with Time Machine to the
a previous configuration file that would have all those loaded in
already, and everything set the way it ought to be, but I don't
know where that file is or what it is called. Any advice?

Have a look at the following page
