Aperture appends (Number) to computer name in the import pane

I keep seeing a weird issue on two separate Macs after upgrading to Yosemite/Aperture 3.6.
When I open the Import pane, Aperture keeps adding a ( + Number + ) to my computer name, i.e.:
MacBook Pro (6)
iMac (3)
Has anyone else seen this issue and found a way to resolve it?
Thank you.

And if Frank can't figure it out there is no hope for us mortals.
I think, Frank Caggiano found it yesterday, Keith:

    Thank you for help! I was inattentive reading your answer. The thing which confused me was that I noted in blue. I had to just write in a red box and close the configuration window.

    Time Capsule error 22 - My time capsule was working fine and didn't notice anything wrong with it until it stopped backing up about two weeks ago. I never changed anything like computer names or the Airport settings. All I get is the following:
    The backup disk image "/Volumes/Data/Linda's Computer 1.sparsebundle" could not be created (error 22).
    I tried resetting the Time Capsule and connecting with an ethernet cable, although the Ariport Utility says everything is working fine through WiFi.

    If the light will not turn on the TC is dead. No matter that the hard disk is running.. it should only run at start up or when it is accessed not constantly.. that means the board in the TC has failed. Apple do not repair them.. They will replace it under warranty or applecare.
    If you have gone over the 12month warranty it will still be covered if you have applecare on any computer or an Apple TV. In fact the cost of the apple TV plus apple care is still cheaper than buying a new TC.. so it is a route some people are taking.. certainly depends.. in some places like Europe or Australia now, there is a recognition that statutory warranty must be longer on a product that is premium to the market. 12months is not good enough. Apple will sometimes listen.
    They might be fixable but I do not know how.

  • Computer name for the WinPE

    I'm trying to make a tool my technicians can use to create a backup image for an existing machine.
    What I thought of was using a BAT that I could inject into my Boot images and run some really simple DISM command:
    Dism /Capture-Image /ImageFile:D:\%computername%.wim /CaptureDir:C:\ /Name:"Captured Image"
    Problem is the %computername% to name the WIM keeps comming up as MINWINPC.wim. It's not even the MININT-xxxxxx computer name that WinPE generates. 
    Maybe I'm not using the command correctly, but is there a way I can make the computer name something identifiable, like the computer's serial #?

    One way to get around this is to load the registry of the offline computer in WinPE and get the computer name from there. Computer names are stored in HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ComputerName\ComputerName and the value ComputerName.
    You can find instructions for loading the offline computer's registry hive here:
    http://superuser.com/questions/636055/how-to-modify-a-computers-offline-registry-from-winpe
    Otherwise, you could have the script prompt for the computer name and the tech can manually enter it in.

  • Changing file names in the Information Pane

    Why doesn't changing the names of photographs in the Information Pane also change the name of the files in the iPhoto Library folder??
    If I import photos direct from my camera, the photos are stored with generic file names (like DSC_006) in the Original Folder and the Data folder in iPhoto Library folder. Once stored there, I understand that if you move, delete or "rename" any of those files "in the Finder" that iPhoto may not thereafter be able to see them.
    But I don't understand why if you change those file names in the Information Pane from within the iPhoto application, why the actual file names in the Original and Data folder aren't correspondingly changed.
    I would prefer to eliminate the generic file names and presently the only way that I can do that is to simply transfer the photos from the memory cards, change the file names and then import the files into iPhoto.
    This seems like an unnecessary step.
    Am I missing something here?

    If you want the capability of editing the original file names they you'll need to upgrade to a more professional application like iView MediaPro. Aperture doesn't let you change the original file names from within the application.
    If you need to the use file outside iPhoto with the same name as the Title in iPhoto then you can do just as PhillyPhan pointed out, export to the Desktop using the User Title option.
    Do you Twango?
    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 written 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. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

    I have just purchased Aperture 3.4.5 and notice that the Inspector pane and Toolbar are in greytones.  No Colour !! any ideas?

    It has been this way since Aperture 3.3. It is not bug, but a feature. New designed icons to fit in with the grey design of Lion and Mt. Lion.
    And sorry, there is no built-in option to restore the colorful look of previous Aperture version.

    I am trying to import aperture library from macbook to new imac the import window sees the external harddrive but does nt see library.  I can open library as a refernce library but cannot import onto hardrive as managable files 

    I may be misreading what you are trying to do but you don't import libraries via the import window. You use File->Import->Library..
    If this doesn't resolve your problem post back with more detail of what you are doing and what is happening.

  • Number after computer name

    I am using Apple Remote Desktop on a Mac Pro to administer a Macbook Air.
    When the Air joins the network or wakes up from sleep, ARD sees it as a new machine with the same name, so it adds a serial number in parentheses to the name (e.g. MyMbAir becomes MyMbAir(1), then later MyMbAir(2), etc.).
    What is causing this behavior and how can I solve it?
    These may be related:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/11560605#11560605
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2396328?threadID=2396328&tstart=0
    Cheers,
    MB

    This is really annoying, as it not only "appears" in *my* copy of ARD as an admin, but it *LITERALLY* changes the machine name in the remote computer, such that I have to connect, go to ITS Sharing area in System Preferences and manally delete the stupid (#) entry after its name.
    As more and more of my administered users move to laptops, this started, so the idea of going to/from wireless seems the best explanation, although so does the sleep idea in other threads.
    I really wish ARD had better support (and an iOS version too!), b/c this is still relevant over a year later...
    Thanks to you both for at least explaining why this keeps happening (and why I might as well forget about playing whack-a-mole with (#) entries on every managed system)!

  • System added number after computer name

    I recently noticed that the system has added a number in parens after my computer name, ie: MyMac (2). I'm sure there is a simple answer, and it isn't harming anything, it is more of a curiosity. If anyone knows why this would happen, please let me know. I have multiple macs in the house with me as the admin, but they all have unique names to identify them.

    That generally happens when there is another computer on the network that has the same name. If all other Macs in the house have unique names, then it's probably just fluke.

  • Till now Aperture worked well in mavericks, "suddenly?" the import of raw files from Nikon D700 is no more supported, only jpg's are accepted. Any idea what happened?

    Aperture (3.5.1)  worked very well in Maverick (OSX 10.9). After having worked on pictures, "suddenly" messages poped up saying that "his os not a supported format" and the thumbnailpicture became black. Since then Aperture does no more accept the import of the Nikon D700 raw format (NEF); omnly jpg is accepted.
    I'm very puzzeled, can you help?
    Thanks,
    Felix

    Thanks, Felix. A tiny bit of RAW finetuning such as sharpening also helps.
    But I also just discovered several other weird and unpredictable effects:
    image viewer => right click on image => menu appears => another click on image => menu disappears and image is displayed as rotated by 180 degree
    image viewer => right click on image => menu appears => edit with plugin => image is displayed as rotated by 180 degree => plugin opens => cancel plugin => image is rotated to normal again
    another image got flipped horizontaly somehow.
    or weird effects like this:
    Something must be seriously wrong on my Mac.

  • Smart Number and RFx Name are the same?

    Hello all,
    I am facing the following issue:
    I activated smart numbering for my RFx documents. However, the field "RFx Name" is also being filled with the smart number, and I am not able to change it. Even if I define smart number as external, any change I make in one field is reflected in the other.
    Can anyone help me with this? Is this related to any definition in customizing, i.e., do I say that the value in "Smart Number" is the same as in "RFx Name"?
    Thanks in advance,
    Joã

    We got the following explanation from SAP:
    The smart numbering was designed to use the existing description field
    that is stored to database. Now both the fields on the UI are mapped to
    this database field description. It was decided that in PPS we would
    only have Smart numbering appearing as description across all BO's. If
    you want to use RFx name then probably you have to create your own
    custom field that would store this info to database.

  • Lightroom won't allow me to enter keywords or shoot name in the Import module

    Hello... I've seen this before and fixed it, but I don't remember how I did it. Everything looks to be set up properly (I've been using Lr since the 1st public beta), and the destination volume for the DNGs is write enabled. Thanks!

    Thanks for the input.
    Lightroom allows me to copy TO that location on an import but not import FROM it?  So I'm allowed to import and end up with stuff there, but not allowed to start with it there.  No sense at all in that design.  That's downright restrictive and really offers no particular benefit.  Hey, Lightroom designers ... change that!
    This computer is a powerful ultrabook with a 512 SSD which is as big as reasonably and cost-effective available with the addition of a 256 SDXC card to handle the additional extra capacity I need.  Not too many other reasonable options out there.  This computer is constantly on the go and the addition of an external drive hanging off of it simply isn't manageable.
    Any other tricks out there?

  • How to view marker names in the Markers pane?

    If I add markers to a source clip and enter a name, then when I open the Markers panel, I only see Comments listed, not Names? Why?

    Martin, I've requested this as a feature myself just now. Am commenting here to help illuistrate to Adobe what I need... and also see if anyone has a workflow improvement for me.
    I'm hoping to not just have an on-screen easy-to-read list of marker names for a sequence, but also be able to copy/paste the names (and timecodes) in case I need to create a master-list somewhere.
    I do need to BOTH be able to hover-and-read in a sequence and also quickly read/search a list.
    Thanks for any feature implementation or workflow suggestion.
