Aperture freezes when trying to export photo

Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo.  Why?  I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!

I can't even "force close" the program, I have to turn off the computer!
Try to send a signal from the Terminal, as described in this user tip:
                 If Aperture is unresponsive, how to quit?
Everytime I edit a photo in Aperture, the program freezes when I try to export the photo.
What is your Aperture version?
Have you tried any trouble shooting steps?
First of all check, if you have enough free disk space for the export. The oprating system needs working space in addition to the size of the of the exported image file. Keep at least 10GB free.
Where are you exporting to? To a folder on your system drive or an external drive? Do you have write permissions on that folder?
Try to repair your Aperture library - see this Manual page:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
If repairing the database  does not help, try "repair permissions" as well, and finally "Rebuild".  Make a backup of your library, before trying to rebuild.

  • IPhoto freezing when trying to import photos from iPhone

    iPhoto has started freezing when trying to import photos from an iPhone. The device is recognised but just get "loading . . . " message with no photos appearing. Has anyone else seen this?

    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 9 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Lightroom 2.6 freezes when trying to export images

    I have been using LR successfully on a Windows XP machine for several years and using version 2.6 for the past several weeks . As of a few days ago, LR would freeze when trying to export images. The export functions of 'Export with Previous' and 'Export with Preset' seem to work without crashing LR but most of my exporting needs me the ability to adjust the export settings. Any advise?

    I would guess LR only goes by drive-letter so if you've kept that the same it should be ok.  Look for something else.
    I would look in your Lightroom Preferences files to see if there is any drive letter that no longer exists.
    On Vista/Win7 my LR prefs file is in:
    C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Lightroom\Preferences
    XP has something similar under C:\Documents and Settings\Local Settings (or Application Data)
    If you open that file in a simple text-editor like NotePad then about halfway down (at least in mine) there are some export-related things that include the drive-letter and path on your hard-drive to various folders.  You can find it by searching for:
    AgMRUPopupList_AgExport_destinationFolderPathPrefix
    Look through those and see if any of the drive-letters or paths are wrong and look around for other paths.  The paths will contain
    or
    instead of \ because the low-level language routines LR is written with need it that way so if you change anything, keep the number of slashes consistent.
    It could very well be that there is nothing wrong with any of the paths, so another approach would be to rename or move your preferences file to see if LR will recreate it with defaults for everything, and see if that clears up the lockups. 
    Whether you decided to edit or rename your preferences file, please make a backup copy so you can put it back in case something even worse happens and you need it back.

  • IPhone 6plus camera freezes when trying to take photos from within other apps

    Hi,  8.1 6Plus,   my regular camera turns black screen when trying to take photos from within other apps or sometimes between photos in the regular camera app.  I can still take a photo, I just have no idea what I'm seeing or taking a picture of.   Then when I press retake (in other apps) the screen comes back on and it works.   Its annoying more than anything else.   Any ideas? Have done the whole close apps/restart process.
    Thanks!

    What version of iPhoto? How much disk space did you have before deleting things?
    Regards

  • IPhone 5s freezing when trying to send photos

    After I select a picture from camera roll and a contact to send it to, the phone freezes and the message disappears taking me back to the home screen.
    This only happens when trying to send pictures from photo app. When sending by starting from messages, it works just fine.

    Found it... i did not have the window fully expanded and when I did.. there were the options.  I quickly deleted and added my sympatico account and even though I have the BCC ticked, the emails are not showing up in my email inbox.  I have to manually enter my email address in the cc box of the email.  thanks for your time. 

  • INDD CS5.5 freezes when trying to export IDML

    Hi there,
    For a couple of days I'm trying to Export a 23.2MB INDD file in IDML, but after a few seconds it freezes:
    Adobe InDisign CS5.5 has stopped working
    A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.
    Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is
    available.
    I have INDD 7.5.1 running on Windows 7; 64bit.
    Any suggestions?

    I have tried to break up the file and export two pages a time, but in vain.
    Create a new document and go to the Pages panel and choose Move Pages and move your pages to the new document.
    See if that clears it up. If not, try a single page. If it works, when you can narrow to the problem.
    Is there a possibility to cut and past INDD CS5.5 to INDD CS4 ?
    Actually, yes. Select the page elements in CS5 and Export to a Snippet (in fact, you might even be able to drag and drop to CS4...).

  • Iphoto crashes when trying to export photos

    When I try to export photos from iphoto the program crashes.

    Trash the HP Plug in from /Library/Application Support/iPhoto
    There are two libraries where this plugin might be

    and
    HD/Users/Your Name / Library
    (On 10.7 or later: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)

  • Iphoto stops responding when trying to export photos

    I'm trying to prepare my photos from my summer holiday for the internet by using the Share>Export feature and letting the program resize them while I'm at it. The first batch worked perfectly, I resized some 250 photos, however I'm not able to finish the rest since Iphoto stops responding everytime I try to export photos. It doesn't matter if they are 20 or 200, it always stops responding and I have to force quit it. Does anyone know what the problem is and if it is fixable?

    Right click on one of the photos and reveal in finder - what happens?
    Is there any change a file with the same name as you are trying to create in the location your are exporting to (if so export to a new folder)

  • Iphoto freezes when trying to upload photos

    Hi everyone,
    Being new to the mac world (VERY new... I just bought my computer on Friday), I am already having problems with uploading photos. I uploaded everything from my digital camera fine, but then when I tried to upload my Easter pictures, everything freezes and I am forced to quit the application. Apples help line of closing at 6pm pacific time is not helping my matter. Can any one help me??
    Thank you!

    Your photos are safe inside the iPhoto Library package. You may be able to recover them by on of these ways:
    1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and follow the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
    2 - rebuild the library using iPhoto Library Manager as follows:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    1 -Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    2 -Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your User/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File->Rebuild Library menu option
    4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    5 - Click on the Create button.
    Note: It may take some time to create the new library if you have a lot of photos. Report back on how long it took and how many photos you have in the library so we can give other users an idea of how long it may take.
    3 - start over with a new library and import the Originals folder from your original library as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the Events from the original library.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Open the library package like this.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library if you have the Finder checkbox unchecked in the Events preference pane.

  • Ipod classic freezes when trying to sync photos

    Hi
    My Ipod classic has started to freeze every time I try to sync with my PC when adding new photos.
    This is something I have done many times before without any problems but as of yesterday, every time I try it just stops dead.
    As I type this message, my ipod screen just says connected and the itunes screen says syncing ipod do not disconnect but it's been like this for 2 hours now with nothing to show for it.
    Syncing of music and videos works fine I hasten to add.
    Not sure if it's relevant but yesterday I updated itunes to 7.7.1.11
    Any suggestions would be greatfully recieved
    Mark

    Hello everyone. I'm new to Apple forums and don't know how to start a new thread! My problem is this: All my photos are on a Seagate External Hard Drive (there are about 3,500 of them) and I want to transfer them to my iPod. I've told iTunes where to find the photos on the EHD, but it just won't load them. I've got the Do not Disconnect message up, and have done for several hours - but no photos. I then tried loading a few hundred photos that I happened to have on the C drive, and that went fine and they loaded no problem. Why can't it load the ones on the EHD? I did it once before and it was fine, so I'm pretty certain I'm not being thick!
    Any advice gratefully received. I don't really want to put all my pics back on the C drive as I haven't got that much room left - hence the need for the EHD!
    Thanks in advance...

  • Error when trying to export photos

    I downloaded the trial version of LR, version 1.3.1, and i'm using it on a desktop PC with Windows XP SP2.
    After importing and then editing 15 NEF pictures, i try to export them as JPGs to a newly created folder on my hard drive. However, when i attempt this i get a dialog box containing an error message that says 'An error occurred while exporting. 15 photos failed to export.' Within this box, there is also two buttons i can click on; one that says 'Ignore', and another that says 'Show In Library'. No pics show up in the new folder, and clicking on either button doesn't do anything either.
    Am i doing something wrong? Or is this a bug of some sort? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    At the risk of sounding silly, I don't know how exactly to check if LR has write access to the folder or not. How do you do it?
    I right-clicked on the new folder i created, clicked on Properties, and didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Under Attributes the box for 'Read Only' is checked, while the one for 'Hidden' is not, which is how all the other folders on my PC are set up, and i've never encountered a problem like this before.
    It's a shame this issue cropped up, because everything else in regards to using LR was very smooth, easy, and straightforward.

  • LR4 freezes when trying to import photos

    Everytime I try and import photos LR freezes or takes forever to show source options.

    If you are using Photoshop from within iPhoto the following may help with the workflow.  However, we do need to know the answers to the questions posed by Terence and Larry to be able to help you.
    Using Photoshop or Photoshop Elements as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop or Photoshop Elememts as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop.  When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window
    that indicates that  PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file.  You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    With Photoshop Elements  the Saving File preferences should be configured as shown:
    I also suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.  In PSE’s General preference pane set the Color Picker to Apple as shown:
    Screenshots are from PSE 10
    Note 1:  to switch between iPhoto and PS or PSE as the editor of choice Control (right)-click on the thumbnail and select either Edit in iPhoto or Edit in External Editor from the contextual menu. If you use iPhoto to edit more than PSE re-select iPhoto in the iPhoto General preference pane. Then iPhoto will be the default editor and you can use the contextual menu to select PSE for your editor when desired.
    Note 2:  editing a RAW file with either PSE or PS creates a new file which must be saved outside of iPhoto, i.e. the Desktop, and imported as a new photo into the iPhoto Library.
