Aperture freezes because of MobileMe transfer

Hello, whenever I am trying to use aperture, it is telling me that my mobileme files need to be moved (don't think, I ever had any), because MobileMe is discontinued. Then it is "moving MobileMe files" and the program does this forever. I then cannot work with the program at all. I even cannot switch the Mac off other than disconnecting it from power or pressing the switch off button. Any idea how this can be resolved? Christian

Click on the Learn More link, then ignore the resulting web page, and open Aperture Preferences/Web and remove the account info for MobileMe account or accounts.
Some have had to remove internet access temporarily, but I didn't have to do that.

Aperture freezes after update!!

Hello everyone.
I updated Aperture when i heard of the new update, but now Aperture freezes my Mac completly, so that i have to hold down the power button to shut down the computer.
It only happens after maybe 15 min of use. Only the mouse is working, everything else is frozen.
I just bought the new Macbook Pro 13", i never had the problem before with my old Mac from 2009.
But it seems like it´s the update that causes the problem.
Anyone experienced this or know what to do?

Your mobile strategy seems similar to the mobile strategy I used for a long time, but a very large constraint was that within 3-4 months, the AP library on the internal drive of the MBP became sufficiently large that it needed to be moved off the internal drive and a new AP library needed to be started. All of these libraries used referenced RAW files on an external drive. I only have 160 GB. The other huge issue was the requirement that I do all my project editing on my MBP prior to finalization or I had the onerous task of 'synchronization' I only edit on my MBP when absolutely necessary. Otherwise I would prefer my desktop.
My current model is simplier, assuming that it works. I place my active project pictures in managed libraries with distinct project names on an external drive. I can then load those individual libraries with the Aperture that resides on my laptop or on my desktop and not have to worry about which library is most up to date because I am always working on the same library. After the initial creation of the project specific library, I copy it to a 4TB FW drive and back that up to a second 4TB drive. So before I start working on the library, I have three copies of the library and the original RAW files.
Once the project is completed, I import it into the master library and back up, and archive the final project.
I guess I don't agree with your perspective about the relative importance of getting AP to play nice with USB drives, assuming that is the problem to begin with. I am doubtful, but it certainly is worth testing. I had work to get done today but hopefully I can spend time on this subject tomorrow.
For the looker-ons, I am wondering if anyone else places managed AP libraries on external USB drives and do extensive brush tool editing? If yes, do you have problems with AP crashing? Whose drive do you use, how large is your library and how much editing do you do on a regular basis?

Aperture FREEZES WHILE TETHERED with Nikon D90

I shoot a lot in my studio, so shooting tethered with my Nikon D90 is very useful... UNTIL Aperture freezes every 10-15 captures, so I have to FORCE QUIT it and restart. This, of course, is SUPER ANNOYING, especially when CLIENTS are watching.
Can anyone please enlighten me what's going on, and how I could alleviate the problem? I'm running the latest version of Aperture on a MacBook Pro 17" with a 2.3GHz processor and 4GB of RAM. And I'm usually not running anything other than iTunes alongside Aperture while shooting. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I finally gave up on tethered shooting with my Nikon D3 and Aperture 3. Aperture crashed every fifth shot or so and made me crazy. I tried new libraries, new cables, faster computer, etc. I submitted countless bug reports. I waited patiently for a software fix, because I never had this problem with Aperture 2.
I gave up and rolled back to Aperture 2 on my laptop (which I use only for tethered shooting). Now tethering works perfectly again; it's a software issue. I've had one crash in maybe 2000 shots with Aperture 2, and I can live with that. It's a crummy solution, but it's either that or I buy Lightroom and scrap Aperture for good.
FYI: the raw converter is different in Ap2 than Ap3. What looks good in Ap2 looks underexposed in Ap3 (almost by a stop, looking at the histograms), and the color rendering is quite different between the two. If you try this Ap2 solution out, do some testing before you do a live shoot to make sure you're happy with your results.

TS3989 Aperture freezes on sharing photos with iCloud

I wanted some control over the photos that appear in my Photo Stream when I'm using Apple TV. I created an Album in Aperture, then placed a selection of photos into the album. I created a Photo Stream on iCloud and when I select all the photos and drop them on the iCloud icon, I get a dialogue box, offering some configuration options in iCloud.
When I click 'OK' Aperture freezes. I can access the application menu to quit, but I can't use any other apps on my computer - the selected photos remain unmovable, in the foreground. Two photos actually copied to the Photo Stream.
When I repeated the exercise, the same two photos are duplicated in the Photos Stream. I deleted the stream and tried again - same result.

I had to create TIFF files for 30 fotos or so. The other 50 did not pose a problem. I am still not 100% clear why this is. I suspect this has to do with having those photos coming from iPhoto and then imported into Aperture.
Before I hit this issue, I just re-installed Mavericks, because I experienced hanging situations. Mail would have hanging threads ("waiting for semaphore"). Basically after 20 hours or so, apps that use the cloud would all be hanging. There was no way to get this going again, apart from a reboot.
So I decided to reinstall Mavericks.
After the new installation I noticed that some iCloud streams were not visible in Aperture, that is where I created that missing stream and started to copy the photos to it. And that is where I encountered this hang issue in Aperture.
Retrospectively, I suspect the hanging apps were also caused by this.
So for people who experience hanging iCloud apps, try to delete all photostreams and re-set them. If you notice that Aperture becomes unresponsive, Quit Aperture and re-start it. Then right click on the photo and select "edit the photo in an external program". This will create a TIFF version of the photo that caused Aperture to become unresponsive when copying it to the photostream. Reject the original photo and copy the TIFF to the photostream.
Do this will all photos that cause Aperture to become unresponsive when you copy them to a photostream.
Don't forget to rebuild Aperture's database by holding command-option while clicking the Aperture icon. After rebuilding, you will find a lost folder with the fotos that were in the stream.
You may have to re-create the stream after all "bad" photos have been identified and the re-build was successful and then copy all photos in one go.
Good luck.

Aperture freezes when restoring vault

It's aperture 351 running on a macbook air 1.7 GHz Intel core i7 8GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Intel HD graphics 5000 and OS X 10.9.3.
Aperture library was in crashed external HD.
Aperture freezes when trying to restore library in vault.
What can I do?
Thanks.
Humberto

When I try to restore library from the original vault file I know it freezes because I can see in the "force quit" window that Aperture is "not responding".
The "not responding" does not necessarily mean that Aperture is hanging. It may be just too busy to respond.
It is hard to estimate the time it will take for the restore to complete. I have waited for about an hour to rebuild a library of 300 GB.
Where are you trying to restore the vault to? Do you have enough free disk space on the drive?
I've done that. It just doesn't work! Actually it seems to be trying to read something for hours. Don't low how long it takes to open a 320 GB library.
That is a pity. How is the drive formatted, where your vault is located? Is it formatted MacOS Extended (Journaled)? Otherwise you may have problems with pathnames and files not found.
Also, have you set the "Ignore ownership on this volume" flag for the drive with this library?
You can do this from the File > Get Info" panel for the drive.
If the file system is o.k., and also the "Ignore ownership" flag, try the library first Aid Tools on your vault with the the changed filename extension. Try to repair the permissions, the database, and to rebuild the library, in this order:
Make a copy of the vault, if you do not have a backup.
Hold down the key combination alt/option ⌥ and command ⌘ at the same time, while launching Aperture by double-clicking the vault. Keep holding down the keys firmly, until you see the First Aid panel.
Select "Repair database" from the panel. This may take a long time for a large library. Don't interrupt it.
If Repair does not suffice, do a Rebuil as well.

Vault problem. Aperture freezes (it is cold in Colorado today). Corrupt?

I'm working with two libraries. One is 22 gb and works fine.
The second is 16 gb and when I try to create a vault, Aperture freezes and I have to Force Quit. As long as I don't try to create a vault, everything is fine.
I have re-installed Snow Leopard and Aperture. I have tried exporting projects and creating a new library.
What's going on? Help. Thank you.

I have had the same problem intermittantly and am having it again. Clicking on the update vault or doing it through the vault menu shows a very short (like 1/10 of a second) view of a dialog box then it disappears and I can't update vault.
Any solution for this?
I just bought LR 2 and am very close to switching my entire 30,000 image library and not looking back, because Aperture has been very flaky since the last update and I value stability above all else.

Aperture freezes when syncing to Smugmug

Upgraded to 3.5 and added Smugmug account for sharing. I can click on the Smugmug option in the projects leftside toolbar and photos are displayed. I attempted to create a new Smugmug gallery from an existing project and Aperture freezes. Have tried multiple times with same result. I must Force Quit to get out of Aperture. Is anyone else having this issue?
Thank You,
Jonathan Tarr

I do not have a solution for you, but just so you know, mine has been working fine. I just wish they would add export presets so I can upload as different size files.

Aperture freezes every time I push the auto exposure button. Any suggestions?

What is your Aperture version? And since when are you haveíng this problem? Did this start, after you imported photos or updated software? Did you move your Aperture library or your original image files? Did Aperture crash?
Does it only happen when you are working in your main Aperture library, or also when you are using a different Aperture library?
As a test, create a new Aperture library and and try to adjust an image there. Does it work?

Unable to open Aperture 2 because it is apparently in conflict with an old trial version 3. Any tips how to solve this?

I am unable to open my Aperture2.
The following warning message shows on top of the ususl opening window:
Quote
The libraryin "users/pedro/pictures/Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary" cannot be loaded because it is from newer version of Aperture.
Unquote
It looks like some kind of conflict with an old trial version 3, to which I never upgraded.
Any tips to help me solving the issue?

Do you need to run Aperture 2, or do you need to open the "Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary"?
If you only want to run Aperture 2, then launch Aperture by double-clicking your regular Aperture 2 library; this should open Aperture on the correct library. In Aperture 3 you also simply could hold down the options-key while double-clicking the Aperture Applications icon in the Dock - probably this works in Aperture 2 as well,
But if you need to open your Aperture 3 trial library with Aperture 2, because you converted your Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3 format; there is no easy way to do it. The best would be to find a backup of your library from the time before you converted it. If you do not have such a backup, then the easiest way would be to upgrade to Aperture 3 at this point.
I do not know enough about the Aperture 2 library format to be able to tell you how to manually downgrade an Aperture 3 library to Aperture 2 format.

HT4759 I cant access my iDisk because of MobileMe

I cant access my iDisk because of MobileMe. I need to clean it out so that I can have more space for Adobe.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
iDisk was withdrawn many months back, anything you might have had in it has gone.

How can i stop my aperture, my aperture now is non stop transfer in the movies

How can i stop my aperture, my aperture now is non stop transfer in the movies.

non stop transfer in the movies
Transfer movies from where? Sorry, I don't understand. Are you importing movies? Or rendering a slideshow as a movie and exporting a movie? Syncing with iCloud, Flickr, Facebook?
If importing movies into Aperture is hanging, and there is no progress at all, force quit Aperture (From the Apple -menu > Force quit ⌥⇧⌘⎋)
Then repair your Aperture library using the Aperture library First Aid Tools:

Downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

downloading itunes causes computer to freeze because of high computer usage...how do i fix it?

With the Error 2, let's try a standalone Apple Application Support install. It still might not install, but fingers crossed any error messages will give us a better idea of the underlying cause of the issue.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/download.htm
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the AppleApplicationSupport.msi to do a standalone AAS install.
Does it install properly for you?
If instead you get an error message during the install, let us know what it says. (Precise text, please.)
