Aperture crashed - not possible to open it any more

Hi: while retouching a photo, Aperture3 crashed without any error message. No interaction with the machine was possible (just a deep blue screen), so I had to force the iMac to restart. Now it's not even possible to open Aperture, I get an annoying message stating: " WARNING There was an error opening the database for the library “~/Pictures/Aperture 3 Sample Library.aplibrary”. "
The only possibility I'm given is to quit the app. What should I do?
Help really appreciated... apparently I lost all my retouched pictures!
Thank you in advance,
Fux

Jump over to this page on the apple site, Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics, and follow the steps laid out here, you should be fine.

I tried to update firefox, then the update crashed. I cannot open firefox any more because the "firefox.exe" has been "changed or removed". How do I fix this?

I was trying to update firefox to open a pdf file from a website that said on the top of the page that my plugins are out of date.

Hi,
Run an antivirus program first. It's very possible you just got stung.
If that didn't fix it, reinstall firefox.
Hope that helps.

You could try wiping the hard drive and reinstalling the OS and all your programs.
Did you install any programs yesterday?
If not it may be best to take it to an Apple care center and have it checked out. Take it in while it is asleep so you ccan show then what is happening.

I had the same problem. I created an iCloud account and backed up my iPad to iCloud. I then went to www.iCloud.com, signed-in and then I was able to download my spread sheet data. At least I have my data.

Installing the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo will reinstall the App Store for you. Restart your Mac after the combo is installed. It's ok to do this even though you are already running v10.6.8. Then try launching the app.
if that doesn't help, try contacting the developer of the app > http://support.aspyr.com/home

Finder "Open with" not working on 10.6 any more

Hi,
I am experiencing some issues with finders "open with" > Change all function.
It does not work for .doc files any more since Snow Leopard. The "Change all" button is disabled. I can change to pages via the drop down menu but that's it.
The button is working fine for other files types (eg. PDF). Is there any solution or explanation for this yet?
How could I manually tell SL to open all .doc files with pages in order to avoid the bug?
Thanks in advance!

Okay, I get it and it works.
- Select file & select "Get Info" from right-click menu
- Change the default Application *for this file*
- *Close "Get Info" dialog*
- Select file & select "Get Info" from right-click menu
- Now the "change for all" button is active
The "change all" button was active instantly in previous OS X versions iirc. Anyway, it works this way.

Do you have a backup? If so you could try restoring from that. Anything you created since the backup was made will be lost.
These are the basic troubleshooting steps
Troubleshooting
Restarting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears then let go.
Backup, reset, restore on icloud or itunes or restore as new.
Place the phone into recovery mode by doing this
If this fails to fix the problem make an appointment and visit and Apple store or an authorised service provider

Can't open iTunes any more?! (after software update)

After the last software update I can't open iTunes any more. Error message: "you can't open the application itunes because it is not supported on this type of mac". how is that possible? does the system really update to a itunes version, I can't run? how stupid is that?
thanks!

I think what you are saing is that you have error message free launch failure with iTunes.exe persisting on the processes tab .
If so this is commonly due to a problem with cryptographic services. Here is a diagnostic Method for working out the problem:
Before checking if iTunes works, restart your PC or close the iTunes.exe process with task manager if it is running.
A couple of simple things to try:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1776?viewlocale=en_US
Stop the bonjour service, this FAQ has instructions:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2250?viewlocale=en_US
But usually it is due to a problem with cryptographic services.
Check to see if you have your smart card service and that it is not set to disabled. For some reason iTunes needs it.
Start>>Run>>Services.msc
you should find the smart card service in the list. Report back with your findings.
Malware can interfere with cryptographic services and also prevent a resolution so it is important to check that your system is clean before proceeding: Run a virus and spyware scan with up to date definitions.
Then work through *Method 4* in the following link:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/822798
You should be able to copy and paste the individual lines to save on typing.
Make a careful note of any error messages you get, they are important for diagnosis. Report back any error messages especially the names of any dlls mentioned.
If there are no errors try starting iTunes.

IPhoto9.3.2 on 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more

iPhoto9.3.2 on a iMac i7 2.93 GHz with 12GB running MacOS 10.7.4 will not let me delete photos any more, neither delete, comman delete or even emptying the trash works since i updated it a week ago.
anyone else have the same problem or a solution?

Same issue, but it's more involved... I don't use iphoto much, just to store photos, but I first noticed the problem about 2 months ago when trying to delete a photo.   It would not delete, and afterwards iphoto would hang on close, and trying to delete caused a crash entry in the log.    here's some details:
OS X 10.7.4, and 10.7.3. Possibly earlier.
iphoto 9.3.2, and one of the version 8's as well. Recently updated it.
If you try to delete a photo, here is the subsquent syslog:

I have repaired, and rebuilt the database. No change.
I have created a new database, imported 1 photo, and tried to delete it. No change.
I have copied the database (duplicated). No change.
I have deleted the iphoto preferences file. No change.
I have removed the application, and reinstalled from my iLife 11. No change.
I have removed the application and preferences folder, reinstalled from iLife 11. No change.
In addition to not being able to delete a photo, these additional problems exist:
Cannot delete an event.
Cannot move a photo from one event to another.
At this point, I'm fairly sure this is not a database issue. I'm also certain it's not related to the new update.   Anyone got an idea that isn't related to the database?

Hi; I updated my iTunes to the latest version (11.1.4.62), but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more.

Hi,
I updated my iTunes to version 11.1.4.62, but it does not detect my iPhone 4s any more. I have tried the following ways but still did not work:
Rebooted the computer
Rebooted the iPhone
plugged and unplugged the USB cable multiple times and to various USB ports
Uninstalled and installed the i-Tunes
Signed out the iTunes and signed in again
my USB cable and ports are all ok
my ios version on iPhone is : 7.4.4
my laptop os is windows 8.1 and my processor is: Intel Core i7-3610QM @ 2.30 GHz
I appreciate your help.

I find this on another post and tried it. It WORKED. I had to modify to fit my situation but give it a try. Good luck.
Go to Windows 8.1 Control Panel.
Go to Hardware and Sound; Devices and Printers; Device Manager; Portable Devices (look for Apple IPad)
Right-click, then select properties on the menu list.
Under the "Driver" tab menu, confirm the update driver button is not greyed out. If the update driver button is grey and unselectable, you need to select and click "Change Settings" button located near the lower left corner.
Now you can click the "Driver" tab menu near the top, so you can see the "Update Driver" button.
Select "Update Driver".
Select and click "Browse my computer for driver software".
For Windows 8.1 64 bit, it should be located in the folder: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Click Next, and let the driver re-install.
iTunes 11.1.4.62 should open automatically if your iphone is connected already.

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'

Premiere Elements 12 will not allow me to add any more 'Default Text'. Being using it fine up until today! Created over 80 words so far for subtitles but for some reason it wont allow me today!!!

Dave
Thanks for the follow up. Interesting result.
What is the specific Music Score that you used in the Premiere Elements 12/12.1 Mac Soundtrack that was limiting you in the number of words that could be included as text in the project's opened Titler?
Please confirm
a. Working in Expert workspace or Quick workspace?
and
b. Was the 12.1 Update in effect before and after you observed that the Music Score soundtrack removal resolved the issue of number of words limit in the Titler?
and
c. Did the Titler problem exist if you replace the Music Score soundtrack with a non Music Score music file?
and
d. If you moved the Music Score soundtrack to one of the numbered Audio Tracks, did the Titler problem exist?
If you have no Music Score soundtrack in the project, create your title of 80 plus words in the Titler, close the Titler, and then bring the Music
Score soundtrack to the project's Soundtrack, does that strategy work for you?
The above information will help me to think about what happened in your case and give me more insight into how to prevent it happening to
you in future projects.
Thanks.

What can I do? Every "iPhoto Library Upgrader" I've downloaded fails to prepare the my iPhoto Library, so I can't open iPhoto any more.

What can I do? Every time I download & run "iPhoto Library Upgrader" it fails to "prepare" the my iPhoto Library, so I can't open iPhoto any more.
(My MacOS & iPhoto are the latest versions.)
Ever since my last upgrades, every time I try to open iPhoto, a Alert box pops up saying, "To open your library with this version of iPhoto, it first needs to be prepared. To prepare the library, use the iPhoto Library Upgrader", and it gives 2 options: a "Learn More" button or "Quit" (iPhoto) button. The "Learn More" button links to Apple's "iPhoto '11: About the Library Upgrader" page (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5037), but whenever I then download and run that page's linked app, the same thing happens all over again.
It does no good to rebuild the iPhoto Library (holding down the command & option keys while reopening iPhoto): the same thing happens.
It does no good to use iPhoto Library Manager (http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/) to rebuild the iPhoto Library, as was suggested elsewhere: the same thing happens.

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.

Since i updated itunes, i couldnt open ut any more. HELP~~?

Since i updated itunes, i couldnt open ut any more. HELP~~
i think this problem was after i recently i updated the itunes to vision10..sth. now, when it link with my iphone or even my ipad, it doesnt come out.
even i just use it for playing music, its not working either.

To clarify, You updated itunes on your PC and since you did it doesn't open anymore or repond to your ipod or ipad making them both useless. And you don't want to deleting because you are worried you will lose all the apps and music you've bought on itunes.
Is that right?

Hi, while listening to a song my iPad music shut down and I can't open it any more. Do you know how to fix this? iPad 2

Hi, while listening to a song my iPad music shut down and I can't open it any more. Do you know how to fix this?
iPad 2

Try closing the Music app completely and see if it works properly when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Music app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Music app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Aperture crashed - not possible to open it any more
