Aperture crashes when I attempt to update a vault

recently, when I have attempted to update a vault I get the spinning wheel and Force Quit informs me that Aperture is not responding. I have rebuilt the library, attempted the action on two different Macs (both latest operating systems), used different external vault drives. Same thing: crash. Any advice how to fix this?

What you describe is not actually a crash and while it might seem the same it is different and requires a different method to troubleshoot.
An application reported as not responding does not necessarily mean the application is hung.  So as phosgraphis asked how long did you let the vault operation run before you forced quit Aperture?
Also what is your OS and Aperture versions? What type of drive is the vault(s) on? Have you recently update Aperture and/or the OS?

  • Aperture crashes when I try to create a new project

    Hello all, having an odd problem with Aperture crashing when I try to create a new project.
    I suspect the problem is likely related to the library file's permissions, as I was previously working with this library as another user (stopped using the account because of issues solved by too many fonts being installed).
    The problem occurs when I finish naming the project and hit enter, so presumably when Aperture attempts to save the new project into the library file.
    Any ideas?

    Ha i figured as much...
    Thanks for the help. Wish i could just update I movie!!!!

  • TS1717 iTunes crashes when I attempt to play a movie

    After installing the new iTunes update, the program crashes when I attempt to play a movie or TV episode. Any ideas anyone?
    Many thanks.

    Sounds like Quicktime is causing the problem.
    Try to start Quicktime and see if it works.
    If it works then try to run Apple Software Update, to see if Quicktime needs an update.
    Else try to install ITunes and Quicktime again (As it is already installed, it will give you the option to do a repair)

  • ITunes crashes when I attempt to sync music to iPhone

    This has been an ongoing problem for about a month or so. When I connect my iPhone to my computer it shows in iTunes that it's connected, however, when I hit "sync" iTunes crashes. iTunes updates all of my applications and even allowed me to update my 3GS to iOS4 but it just crashes when it attempts to sync all of my music in iTunes. I've reinstalled iTunes using the step by step article like Apple tech support told me but after that they said it has to be a hardware problem.
    Any suggestions? This is driving me nuts.
    BTW I am running Vista Home Premium.

    Okay ... I've got no +a priori+ reason to suspect the nVidia's at this stage. (There has been a bit of an uptick in unorthodox Radeon issues over the past couple of weeks, but nothing related to nVidia's that I'm aware of.)
    More experimentation, if you're still game J.
    There have been a few more preference file issues cropping up in recent months than I like. Although I'd usually associate them with something like an iTunes.dll faulting module than a QuickTime component, I've seen them mimic QuickTime component troubles down through the years.
    If it's a pref file issue, it should produce a user-account-specific crash. (There's different sets of iTunes pref files in each different Windows user account.) So it's probably worth checking to see if this is user account specific or not.
    Create a new user account with full administrative rights on the PC. Log out of your usual account and log into the new account. (Don't use fast user switching to move between accounts.)
    Launch iTunes in the new account. The iTunes Setup Assistant will run. When prompted, don't let iTunes add files to the new account. Just let it launch to an empty library.
    In iTunes, go "Edit > Preferences". In the "Devices" tab, check the "Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically" checkbox. Click OK.
    Plug in the iPhone. *(Do not associate the iPhone with the empty library.)*
    Do we get another "iTunes has stopped working"? Or does iTunes stay open this time around?

  • ITunes crashes when I attempt to open my iPhone within iTunes

    Since updating iTunes and installing the latest iphone software iTunes crashes when I attempt to open my iphone in the device panel. I therefore cannot perform any manual functions on my phone through iTunes. I'm running 10.7.3 and iTunes 10.6.
    Any suggestions?

    Do you have any better luck with that if you update to iTunes 10.6.1.7?
    From the notes for the release:
    iTunes 10.6.1 provides a number of improvements, including:
    • Fixes several issues that may cause iTunes to unexpectedly quit while playing videos, changing artwork size in Grid view and syncing photos to devices.
    • Addresses an issue where some iTunes interface elements are incorrectly described by VoiceOver and WindowEyes.
    • Fixes a problem where iTunes may become unresponsive while syncing iPod nano or iPod shuffle.
    • Resolves an ordering problem while browsing TV episodes in your iTunes library on Apple TV.

    Sorry for the late reply. My email firewall has become a little over zealous & sent a lot of my emails straight to my junk email folder, so I have only just now discovered your reply in my junk mail folder.
    The only "don't open files exceeding xxx megabytes" instruction I can find in my Prefs, is in the Bridge Prefs for Thumbnails, & mine is set at 1000mb. The biggest files I handle are bigger than 200mb so I should be able to open a few, not just one.
    However, this doesn't explain why I can open a psd format file of 180mb, close it, but then can't open a RAW format file of only 26mb immediately after.
    I can open the RAW file only if I restart my computer - very annoying!
    However, thanks for the advice about the video card & memory.
    So, I'm still stuck as to what the issue is.

  • When I attempt to updates apps on my ipad my password does not work. I tried updating them one at a time and it still doesn't work. I've reset my password and I can use the new password and update apps on my PC but not on my ipad. Why?

    When I attempt to update apps on my ipad my password does not work, even when I attempt to update each app separately. When I change the password it works on my PC but not on my ipad.  Why?

    Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > Store and then log back in and see if it then works.

    I changed my Apple ID and password, but when I attempt to update Apps I am prompted to enter my Password for my OLD Apple ID, and I am unable to override the Old Apple ID. How to proceed ?

    Delete everything bought with the old Apple ID and buy it again.
    Content and Apple IDs -
    Content is forever tied to the Apple ID that bought it. Apple does not transfer content from one Apple ID to another. Apple does not merge Apple IDs. You will never be able to access your content bought with one Apple ID with a new Apple ID.

  • PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog

    PSE 11 crashes when I attempt to add a new catalog to those that already exist. No programs are running that might conflict with Organizer, and I can run other functions such as downloading photos from my camera. As soon as I attempt to add a new sub-catalog to an existing major catalog, the program crashes. I'm using Windows 7, and have tried various compatibilities, but none solves the problem. Any ideas?

    How do you attempt to 'add a new catalog' or a new 'sub-catalog' ?
    There are no such things as 'sub-catalogs' or catalogs included in catalog.
    Catalogs are totally independent storing systems, they ignore what is managed in other catalogs.That's why it is recommended to have only one catalog, unless you have a good reason to create several ones because they are totally independent by nature (home vs professional for instance).
    You can create several levels of albums, of tags categories, but not with catalogs.

  • Itunes freezes when I attempt to update to the latest version (10.2.1).

    Hello everyone,
    I typically avoid updating my itunes since it usually comes with some hassle, but finally relented after my itunes store stopped working. Unfortunately, my attempt to update has frozen my itunes and made it unusable. When I attempt to update to the newest version, the update just never starts. Instead, my itunes just freezes until I kill the program through Windows Task Manager. When I restart it, there's about a ten second period where itunes is functioning again. After that, I assume that the update attempts to start again, and it freezes until I kill it again through WTM.
    How do I get around this problem and have itunes actually update to the newest version? I thought it could be a problem with the size of my itunes library (about 105 gb), but I left itunes on for 10+ hours and it just stayed frozen.
    According to the "about itunes section," I'm currently running version 9.0.2.25, but I only have a ten second window to look for that information so there might be something I'm missing.
    Thanks,
    Zach

    Check Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On. Make sure that the time zone setting is also set correctly.
    If that wasn't the problem, restart your iPad and try again. If that fails, reset your iPad and try again. Quit iTunes and restart your computer as well. Turn off your firewall and antivirus software when you attempt the update again.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Imovie 9.0.9 crashes when I attempt to send it to i-dvd message is exc_crash(sigabrt) ?

    I Movie crashes when I attempt to send it to i DVD. Shuts down and send message exc_crash(sigbrt). This is new and I have already made more then 20 i-movies and burned DVDs. Is this a corrupt file in the pictures, videos, music or themes or a problem  with the i-movie program?  There is plenty of space on the drives. Geek squad could not figure it out?
    Thank you
    Richard

    I would first delete the app and reinstall it. Then try your move again. If still having issues, I would try to isolate the cause by making a quick video and then try to send it to your DVD. If that doesn't crash, then I would suspect the other movie or something embedded in it. If you've used some of the stock music, themes or other stock files in the video that crashes, you can try adding the music, themes or other files to your new short video that didn't crash one at a time to try and isolate a particular file that may be causing the issue. I know this is a lot of work but from your post it looks like you use this app often so I think it's worth it to try this unless someone else has a better idea.

  • Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch

    Hello,
    Illustrator crashes when I attempt to launch.
    any solution?

    Hi All,
    If AI CC 2014 is crashing on launch, then please send me the crash logs at [email protected] including the link of the Forum Thread where your post is listed.
    For WIN please create a DMP file using the Task Manager (Right Click on the Adobe Illustrator CC and select the option Create Dump File) when AI displays the crash dialog. Please send this to me using any free File sharing websites and do not use the mail to send me this file as the size is more than 600MB.

    Crap thought that text was all the characters I was allotted, not just the title.
    Anyway I wouldn't have even posted this if you guys would have allowed me to reply to the already existing thread I found through google. Said about 20 or so people had the same problem and no one found the contributor's answer useful, including myself.
    Anyway, I use Firefox, because it is one of two (other being internet explorer) that Trend Micro's security package includes protection with. Same with spyware blaster which I also use but Trend Micro is the deal breaker. Also I like Firefox 4 and your ad blocker is better than google chrome's. However if I continue to have problems with clearing my browser history it is back to Opera and Google Chrome for me. IObit Security supports both of them, it also seems to be the best security system I have ever come across, I will just pay for their subscription and stop using Trend Micro.
    This is a very big problem I hope it is being addressed. Only addon I have is your ad blocker. Also this is completely on your end, not ours. I am the perfect test, my computer is brand new, and by brand new I mean I just started using it the other day, the same day my firefox browser kept crashing as I attempted to clear my browsing history.
    Windows 7, 8GBs RAM, AMD athlon II quad core 2.90 GHz
    Can't even clear an hours worth of browsing history without firefox crashing.

    Hello Jones The Steam
    Check the App to see what Apple ID it is associated with. If it is with another Apple ID, you would need to delete it and download it with your current Apple ID.
