Aperture creating blank Duplicates?

G'Day
I just returned home from a bird shoot in florida. While there, I downloaded all 4300 images into a aperture project on my laptop. Last night I exported that project from my laptop to a external HD, then imported the same project on to my desktop.
Now when I view the project it appears that aperture has created several dozen blank grayed out duplicate files. When I view them in the browser as thumbnails all I see is a dotted outline of a file but no thumbnail? When I click on one of these grayed out images and try to go full screen, I just see a large gray screen; however the version number of this gray image is the exact same as the previous file which shows up fine. Well almost, the aspect shifts slightly?
The last inconsistency I noticed is when I view the thumbs in list view, I notice that the aspect ratio has changed for these files. The files that seem to be effected show an aspect ratio of 100:151, then the next file shows an aspect ratio of 2:3 or 3:2, and lastly all the effected files seem to be missing the key wording I gave them.
All images were shot with either a D3 or D300 if that helps at all.
Thanks for the help.

To me this really sounds like Aperture having for some reason trouble to display either the raw or the jpeg. As you have confirmed by delving into the package, Aperture has imported both the raw and the jpeg. Every raw converter, and your camera which created the jpeg from the raw counts as one as well, will convert raw data slightly differently, leading to a slightly different pixel count and aspect ratio.
Can you figure out whether the image you see is the raw image and the grey duplicate the jpeg, or vice versa? If you go to list view, you should be able to see the filename and the file size.
What you try, is to export the masters for some of the problematic images and then reimport them into a new (test-)project.

Aperture creates multiple duplicates of a folder/project

so strange phenomenon happened a while back with my aperture library. Some how, apt has created multiple folders of the same projects (13 identical folders). the folder is titled 'TRAVEL' and in it are 5 projects (USA, Columbia, Europe, etc). it seems like they are all the same and actually function as one (ie if i delete one image from one of the folders, it will be deleted from all the rest. if i delete the folder itself, all 13 folders with the projects will be deleted.
I've tried several fixes to no avail. recently i've exported each project to my desktop as a library. deleted each project one by one in the main library, then deleted the containing folder. i then imported the projects back into the library, but they come in as 13 folders, each containing that project.
i really need some help with this. if anyone has an idea...

Hooo,
It definitely sounds like there is some corruption in your library. Have you tried the [Basic troubleshooting|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805]?

How do I create a duplicate photo book?

We are in the process of creating a photo book for one set of Grandparents and would like to duplicate that photo book once it's been created so that we can create a slightly revised photo book for the other set of grandparents. Is there anyway to create a duplicate/copy of the first photo book? We don't want to lose that book in case we want to print additional copies in the future. Thanks!

Hello Curtis,
Just select the Book you want to modify in the Library Inspector, and then choose
File -> Duplicate Book
from the main Aperture menu.
That will create an exact copy of your book, and you can modify it, without changing the original book.
Regards
Léonie

CRXI Export to text - suppressed section creates blank lines

I'm using CRXI Proffesional - full version 11.5.11.1470
I have a report that uses the typical "stealth" subreport to obtain and pass info to the container, but remains invisible in preview mode. The fields in the subreport are all suppressed, the sections in the subreport are suppressed if blank and the subreport itself is suppressed when blank, the section that contains the subreport is also suppressed if blank.
This has always worked fine to get info into the container from the subreport while not creating any "white space" on the report.
Print preview and export to pdf both function just fine, omitting the blank lines.
It seems that exporting this to a text file is now creating blank lines for each occurence of the subreport.
I have seen this problem in a couple of forums but have not seen a resolution yet.
Does anybody have any idea how I can stop the exporting of suppressed blank sections ?

Good morning.
We've got something to get straight first
When you say "...from the Report Viewer. The report printed as expected on HP printer...", do you mean the viewer of the .NET app, or the viewer of the CR designer?
And version 12.0.0.683, is very old (well as far as CR is concerned anyhow ). That version is SP 1, we are now on SP 2. So that will be the place to start. Get to SP 2 which can be downloaded from here;

How do i create a duplicate of an itunes song

Hello,
I'm spinning iTunes 10.5.2.
I am attempting to create playlists of songs from concerts (mostly metal) that I had attended over the years and am having no problems creating the playlists.
However, my troubleshooting issue is that I also want the songs in my concert playlists to go in order of how they were performed at the concerts. Each time I number them within the playlists the song's number also changes within the Library Music list. My troubleshooting thought is that if I can create a duplicate of the song and then added the duplicated song to my concert playlist I could number each song individually.
However, I can not figure out how to make true copy. I've already tried dragging the song to my desktop, then dragging the new copy back into iTunes. I've even tried renaming the duplicate copy and dragging it into iTunes. Why won't my iTunes make an individual duplicate copy of a song?

Give them a track number.

And? I'm not seeing the problem.

How do you have iTunes manage your music? If you drag a song to the desktop it may just be moving the file to the desktop.
Command+R to reveal the file in Finder. Command+D to duplicate the file in Finder. Drag the duplicate to iTunes to add the second copy. Not that I totally understand where the issues lie and feel this is likely not the best remedy...

I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

what version of pages?
what is the files type that you are trying to export?
what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

How do I create a duplicate card in Address Book?

I have searched and found plenty of posts on how to FIND, MERGE or DELETE duplicate cards in Address Book...
- But I want to CREATE a duplicate card. In other words, if I want to create separate cards for 2 married people with the same last name, address and home phone number, is there a fast way to create a second card without having to manually fill in all contact info?
Also, WHERE does one post Address Book questions? This was just a guess.
Thanks.
Robert

I think I understand your question and if so, this is a decently speedy workaround.
1) Create your first card with say the husbands name
2) Go to File > Export > Export vCard
3) Change the name of the card that is in Address Book to the other person ie. the wifes name
4) Go to File > Import > Import vCard (shortcut is Command+O)
5) Now you will have the original vCard you created which is the husbands name and you will have the wife's name as well because you just changed it.
You can import and export multiple vCards at once so you can create all of them, export them, change all the names, and then re import.
Hope this helps!

When syncing multiple Google calendars to iPad, switching event to different calendar on iPad creates a duplicate in Google. Ideas?

When syncing multiple Google calendars to iPad, switching event to different Google sub-calendar using iPad creates a duplicate in Google.
Using Google account with the Exchange setup on an iPad mini. iOS up to date. I have a secondary calendar in my Google account for some appointments, and when I create the event on the iPad and it defaults to my main Google calendar, changing the event to the secondary calendar caused the following:
1) at first, the event totally disappeared from my iPad. Scary! Reappeared when I went into Gcal on the web, opened the event to edit, and re-saved. Phew.
2) Failing to re-create error #1, I switched a new event from primary to secondary calendar, and it then appears correct on iPad, but is duplicated on the web. The duplicate remains even after deleting the changed event on iPad, refreshing Gcal, etc.
Just curious if anyone else is having this problem or has discovered a workaround or fix.

When you open the Calendar app, tap the button at the top-left corner (Calendars). That should reveal all the calendars you have available, and you can select/ un-select any or all of them.
If you don't see your 2nd GMail calendar listed, go into Settings/ Mail/ (account name) and make sure you've turned the calendar ON for this account.

Create Blank Signature Field in Acrobat 8

The create blank signature field function is no longer available in Acrobat 8.0, as it was in 6.x and 7.x. This was an extremely useful tool to add a quick signature block to a document you needed digitally signed by another party.
Adobe LiveCycle Designer does have the ability to add the field, but that requires additional steps to convert the document to a form when a forms functionality is truly unnecessary for a simple signature capture.
Please, add this capability back to the native Acrobat program. We have hundreds of users who use this functionality daily.

Jeff,
You are right it is not as it used to be in Acrobat 6 and 7, but it is still there!
Go to Tools->Forms, and select the Digital signature tool.
A cross will show up, and you can use t for placing your new and EMPTY signature field

Create Blank Signature Field in Acrobat 9

Looks stupid, but I don't find the way to create blank signature fields in Acrobat 9 pro, I need it to pass the file on so that Reader users can sign it.
To sign and then delete the signature (leaving the blank signature field) is not a valid alternative, this will need to be done by many (not only me).
Regards, Luis

Thank you Tim, I finally got the the correct place to create this blank signature fields.
Forms: Add or Edit fields (Shift+Ctrl+7):
Forms: Form Tools: Digital Signature or (right mouse button click): Digital Signature:
Not as easy as it was but it's there.
Thanks a lot.

Aperture created homepages and iWeb created web pages

Is there a way around the fact that Aperture created pages go into a "homepage.mac.com" directory when iWeb goes to "web.mac.com" directory??
The problem is to get all my creations (from Aperture and/or iWeb) into the same folder = much easier to give one type of address to my friends and family!
Precisely, can I change iWeb-like web sites into Aperture-like web sites ?

i have both and i don't know if you can or can't, i was thinking about just making the aperture album and copying the layout if need in iweb and linking to the aperture site. I have yet to make a site in aperture though, i will keep a look out for any info

Creating a duplicate db by using data from a earlier state of original db

Two days ago, a developer updated data from a table and we need to restore the original.
Our backup policy:
Every night, we do a whole database backup. Also, our retention window is 5 days, so we have archivelogs for the past couple of days.
How could I create a new database, whose data is that of the original data 2 days ago?
BTW, we are using Oracle 10g Standard Edition so we don't have Flashback table/database feature.
My plan is to create a duplicate database restored to 2 days ago, so that we can extract the neccessary data from the table of interest. After we have extracted the data, we'll drop the duplicate database.

You would have to do an incomplete recovery of the database, probably onto a separate server. You could then export the table in question and import the table into the current production database. You will lose any changes to that table that have been made in the past 2 days, and may introduce some issues if there are dependent tables that have changed. At that point, you can drop the incompletely recovered database.

How to create a duplicate database

version 10.2.1.0
i just got a laptop and i needed to create a duplicate db from the server. i was thinking installing oracle binaries and restoring from the backup of the server will do the trick.
Also i intended making the duplicate a standby. pls is there any guide to this.

Hi,
I suggest to follow the ORACLE Documentation first.
Second, understand the thingsand there purpose, since as you stated that its a production DB (Don't mess it or screw up the DB by doing some thing). I suggest consult the DBA and as k him to do that.
If you want to do it by your self check with him and consult before doing it, since productiion DB access would not be given to every one AFAIK.
Any how as per your requirement, check the document.
