Aperture Crashes - Trashing Pref File doesn't help

I opened the most recent version of Aperture, and it instantly crashes. I've tried deleting the Aperture.plist file, and it doesn't help. It doesn't even get to the point of creating a new plist. I'd appreciate any help available, the error message I get is:

What changed since last time you launched aperture?
Try this first to isolate the issue to your library or your system
1) hold down the option key while launching aperture. When prompted choose create new library. Just create it on your desktop or something so you can get rid of it later. If goes will and aperture starts with a blank library quit aperture and do the same thing but navigate back to your original library with choose library and go to step two.
2)If it still crashes with your real library hold down option and command while launching Aperture and choose rebuild library and see if that helps.

  • Strange behavior in CS3 WinXP not fixed by trashing Prefs file

    My doc has many objects on multiple layers. 85% of the objects are strokeless filled objects, filled with only 5 different colors. A small number of the objects are not showing the correct fill color when placed over other objects. They show the correct color when moved. All layers are "normal" transparency, 100% opacity.
    Tried trashing prefs file but that didn't help. Any ideas?

    They are probably set to over print which is an object setting that stays with the file. However you should only be able to see the effet if you have Overprint Preview on and trashing the preferences should setyou back to the default of not having Overprint Preview on.

  • Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?

    Hi
    Cmd+Option Start iMovie trash pref file - From what version ?
    As I see it - it must be a New Feature to iMovie'13 (vers. 10.0.x) or does this work long back in time ?
    To set iPhoto right - has been working for quite a while - but reg iMovie - Anyone knows ?
    Any other program that can be cured this way ?

    You need iDVD to make a video DVD.
    Why is there no iDVD on my new Mac? How do I get it and how do I install it?
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3673
    To burn a DVD with iDVD from the latest version of iMovie, you have to export the movie using the Export button and select 480p as the size. Open iDVD and start a new project, then drag that exported movie file into the iDVD menu window, avoiding any drop zones you see.

  • FCP wont start up after crash - trashing prefs

    i've been told that trashing prefs can solve many crash-related issues with FCP.
    can someone tell me how to do that?
    working with latest version of software

    FCP Rescue will certainly take all the pain out of this process, with the added bonus of managing backup prefs too, in case it goes screwy again...
    however, fwiw you can also do this manually.
    just go to your users Library folder and look in the Preferences folder within.
    you need to trash 4 files:
    com.apple.FinalCutPro.plist
    then inside another subfolder called "Final Cut Pro User Data"
    Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prefs
    Final Cut Pro 5.0 Obj Cache
    Final Cut Pro 5.0 Prof Cache
    there is also a apple knowledgebase article about this process (for FCP4.5)

    good luck

  • I had to trash pref files when upgrading to Logic 9

    Started with Logic 7 three years ago...
    So yesterday I upgraded to Logic 9 from 8, and I had two unusual problems.
    First, when I would record a track, the waveform overview wouldn't draw. It would make the blue box, with a line down the middle, and I had audio, but no visible waveform. If I manually prompted Logic to redraw it, it would...
    But then on subsequent tracks they wouldn't have a waveform either. Now it's pretty common for Logic to ignore rendering these while you're actually recording something. It's focused on getting your audio on the drive... but as soon as you stop, it will immediately display your waveform and that wasn't happening.
    I also was getting a "disk too slow message". I was recording to an internal drive and I have recorded multiple tracks simultaneously with Logic 8, so a single voice track shouldn't have made a difference.
    Repairing permissions seems to have stopped the "disk too slow message", and as far as the waveform overview, I trashed the pref files. (Logic will make new ones when you relaunch it) That seems to have fixed the issue.
    I went through something similar when they came out with 8. I actually had to delete the old program and do a complete re-install.
    Having gone through that, which isn't much... Logic 9 looks really good. Some great new features...
    Here's a question: How can we get Apple to give us a .pdf manual? Is there someplace we can put in the request?
    Based on what I've seen, that's the biggest disappointment everyone has!

  • IMovie crashed now .rcproject file doesn't show in library/project list and won't open.

    URGENT PROJECT DUE TODAY.
    iMovie crashed while I was working on a project, now I can't c the file in iMovie, however I can see it in Finder and moved to the movie folder, but it still doesn't show in my iMovie library or project list and nothing will open it.  It is listed as a .rcproject and I cannot find how to open it.  PLZ PLZ HELP

    Were you working with iMovie 9 or 10 when you had the crash?
    It sounds like you were in iMovie 10 trying to update your iMovie 9 projects into iMovie 10.
    If you were working in iMovie 10, see if you can still see everything with iMovie 9.0.9 (the 2 versions have completely different media file structures).
    If you were in iMovie 9 it sounds as if the .rcproject package may have got corrupted.  You can look inside the package in Finder with the "show package contants" contextual menu but I would not know how to repair it manually. 
    Do you have a backup or are you running time machine?  With a backup you should be able to replace the offending package with a working version.

  • Type tool won't type anything (CS2)...resetting pref file didn't help

    I might of accidentally set something a few days ago because, for some reason now, the type tool won't let me insert any type whatsoever in JPG or PSD files. I click the type tool and then click somewhere on the image and all it gives me is a dot but no flashing cursor.
    As I said, resetting my prefs/settings while starting up Photoshop did not help.
    Another weird thing it does is that when I go to Canvas Size for a medium sized image, it says that the width is 588 inches and the height is 288 inches. It seems to think something that I don't want it to think and maybe this has something to do with the type problem. Please help.
    Robin

    Check the resolution of the file. It should be between 72 and 300 ppi.
    If it isn't, change it.
    Also try resetting just the type tool from the drop-down menu in the character palette.

  • Aperture crashes after tethered shooting...help

    When I use Aperture 3.1 on 27" iMac with 4 GB memory, and I have  shot a burst of 3-5 images on my tethered 5D, I experience the spinning beach ball, and
    totally unresponsive Aperture, have to force quit or it eventually quits on its own.
    Any ideas?

    If your signature is correct, and you're not abbreviating which version of Aperture you're using, I would do Software Updates first to get to 10.6.7 and Aperture 3.1.2. See if that helps.

  • Hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help?

    hi when i open my application folder, all the application is shown in trash folder. when i click the application it says this app is in trash first move it out. and when i try to open through finder> go it says this file doesn't exist. can some1 plz help? how can i put all my application through application folder?

    Something really odd is going on. In your first screen shot, I noticed that the Applications folder does not have the proper icon displayed in the side bar. Also, in the title bar it lists it as Applications 08-59-29-909.
    Not sure where it's picking up that odd name, unless it's because it's still truly within the Trash folder.
    Try this. In the Finder > Preferences > General > turn on "Always open folders in a new window". (I have a feeling you have the default setting with this off).
    Now, in Finder > Go > move down and open the Applications Folder from there. Now open the folder where you see all your applications that you show in your screen shot, select all, and move them to this true appliactions folder.
    This is what you should properly seeing (but with different apps listed):
    See how the Applications folder has the icon of the letter A shaped with a pencil, ruler & pen.

  • Aperture ate my picture files and they are not recoverable.  The guy at the Genius Bar told me to Trash the App, empty Trash, then go to Purchases and reinstall.  But Purchases says it is "Installed" so it does not let me download it again.  HELP!!!!

    I typed Aperture into Spotlight and sure enough it did show up.
    It looks like it is supposed to be in Apps.
    But it is not there.
    So I clicked on the spotlight Aperture and it opened up the App!!!!
    But I do not know where it is to move it!
    How can I find it?
    While Aperture is running and you are seeing it in the Dock, ctrl-click (or right click) the Dock icon.
    You will see a contextual menu. Click on "Options", then select "Show in Finder".
    And check the "keep in Dock" mark, so you will not lose it from the Dock.

  • Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one to no avail.

    Final Cut Crashed and then corrupted the file. So Final cut wouldn't open up. I tried reloading the backup, trashing the prefs file, systematically going through the 3 previous versions and opening them by themselves one by one. I found Final Cut now loads but each of the backups and files in the previous 3 versions won't load. I've worked on the project for 3 weeks. Im suprised the backup files won't load either!?! I've only rendered 1 low res version. I am thinking I will have to rebuild the project in Final Cut 7. That is simply too risky to have all my back ups not load up!!

    I'm a little confused by this?
    Final cut now opens if launch older projects. But if I actually click on the project it crashes. Im not sure what you mean by events? I've moved them from the events folder.
    but when I open up and of the projects the FInal Cut opens but then wont load the project even with no events in the FInal Cut Events folder.

  • Aperture crashes whenever using the menu 'File' or 'Help'

    Hi,
    since some time Aperture (2.1.4) crashes whenever I click the menu "Ablage" ("File") or "Hilfe" ("Help") from the menu bar. The same holds true using a new preference file or using a completely new and empty library, or using my version (2.1.3) recovered with Time Machine.
    Closer inspection reveals that the crash (spinning ball and '..does not react') occurs whenever I click the menu "File" or the menu "Help". The other menues work correctly, and all images can be edited, exported or imported etc.
    I tried to download a new test version of Aperture, but this recognizes immediately my access code, and everything starts again.
    Can somebody advise me to overcome this problem?
    Best regards and merry Christmas

The reboot was okay but Safari will not let me access the App Store to redownload FCP. I'm running 10.6.8 but the App Store icon is grayed out.

    How do I get to the App Store to get FCPX back? I'm using the Trial version now.

    How are you linking to the App Store from Safari? From this page?
