Aperture going nuts

Booted up Aperture today, and it's as if it were posessed! Not sure if this is some Apple prank in light of Halloween, or whether the application itself is drunk. I've encountered two wacky issues:
1) Aperture seems to have "lost" my top-rated picks from a recent interior photography shoot. When I click on the file, it has a yellow badget (Image Not Found). It won't allow me to export it. The image is neither in my Aperture Trash nor my OSX Trash (neither of which have been empited since the images from this shoot were imported). All other images from this shoot are fine, only the top-rated picks. Very strange. See screenshot below.
2) Other images from that shoot (these are all RAW files) laod fine, except they exhibit drastic colors everytime I load up Aperture. In some instances the images turn purple, other times yellow. I can even export these as JPGs and they look completely wild! See attached images. RAW adjustements work fine, but there is no way to get back the original colors. There seems to be adrastic shift in white balance and tint.
I've already Repaired my Aperture Database and repaired permissions, all to no avail. These 6 top-rated images (which the client had requested) have just disappeared.
Does anyone have ANY thoughts on how something like this can even happen? I am running the latest Aperture on 10.8.5 iMac (Late 2012 model, 3.4Ghz i7 with 32GB RAM).
Please anyone, help because I am pulling my hair out right now, and there is no phone tech support to call!

Some further observations:
Images seem to corrupt (and disappear) when I attempt to export originals. Prior to that, I can make RAW adjustments and export the image as a version (JPG), but once I elect to export the original, Aperture goes nuts. In one case the image turns purple/pink, in other instances it just turns plain black. In another instances still, it shows that the image was not found (if that's true, how was I able to export versions and make RAW adjustments just a second ago?).

The trackpad of my 13" macbook pro (mid 2012) has geen going nuts for about a week now. It randomly clicks and drags the cursor to all places on screen, it randomly clicks, selects and swipes. Have tried spm reset and pressure on whole trackpad. Help?!

It goes nuts for hours and the next day it acts completely fine. My macbook is impossible to work with when the problem is active; it randomly clicks, drags, selects and even selects words (in a yellow colour) to come up with latin(?!) translations.
Ive tried the reset (option+cmd+r+p) and it seemed to work at first but now it doesnt seem to have any effect whatsoever.
Also tried to apply pressure to the entire surface of the trackpad or just the top corners; no effect whatsoever.
It's been quite an expensive purchase for a young student like me and i've really enioyed it until last week.
I'd be relieved if someone came up with a solution; especially since its warranty has expired for half a year now.

Triggering events for the Lost Triggers!!! Going Nuts....

Gurus,
Oracle ver 11g
I am going nuts and crazy here....
Can you think of any possible reasons that I have lost all my objects that I created for triggers ( approx 65 objects) and how to get back those objects.
I don't have the script to re-create all those objects again as I did it manually using the Toad and I am 1005 sure I saw all the objects created and was able to see them in sql*developer tool.
We had a server crash and we had to reboot the server where this oracle is residing, but other than that I am have no reason how the objects disappeared...
My belief is create trigger is a DDL command Right? so the objects should be there in the DB.but I am not able to see them any possible reasons>?? please advice when time permits
Thanks
Sheik

Thanks ennisb for your reply.
Do you have an export handy that you could restore from?
** No, I am not sure how I could do this. and whether we are doing it. Basically are you asking whether we are backing up the DB daily ( No I guess we are not backing up).
Is Flashback logging turned on?
** Guess Yes, the Flash back is turned on.
When was this server crash?
** I am sure I saw the objects on 8th Apr and were created on 7th and 8th and the Server crash was Y'day ( 09th).

Lately my iphone 5 is going nuts for some reason. siri pops up for no reason

my phone is going nuts, it seem to activate siri on its on and takes pictures on the home scrren and some time the home button get stuck , please i need your help in solving this issue, my phone is new , it happens sometime when my phone is on a table with nothing touching it

Sounds like you have a home button fault as both symptoms relate to the home button, e.g. Siri is normally activated by holding the home button. Screenshots are normally taken by pressing the sleep/wake button and the home button together so then you are switching on the phone it probably assumes the home button is also being pressed and takes the screenshot.
You will need to make a Genius Bar reservation at your local store and take it in. They are able to replace the home button module on the iPhone 5 which is most likely what they will do. Just ensure you have a backup in case they do decide to replace the phone.

Ah, Ok. I didn't know what was triggering the message. That is launching indeed. (I have to ask because many people a week don't know what it means).
This message is the big problem, because it isn't even getting as far as the license agreement.
I found a little discussion of this. It seems rare, especially on a Mac, but here is one person's advice. Worth a try:
The error that you are facing might be due the reason that the user logged in doesn't have permissions to access the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Can you please try the following steps with the user account in which you are facing the error:
1. Remove the Adobe Reader from Applications directory by moving it to Trash.
2. Now delete the following directory: "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe". Please note that this path is for the Library folder present inside the user directory that you are currently logged in.
3. Restart the machine.
4. Now re-install Adobe Reader XI.
Tip: In Finder use GO TO FOLDER from the menu and type in "~/Library/Application Support/Adobe" (without the quotes but with the ~)

Use the trackpad to scroll, thats what it was designed for. The scroll bars automatically disappear when not being used and will appear if you scroll up or down using the trackpad.
This is a user-to-user forum and most people will post on here if they have problems. You very rarely get people posting to say there update went smooth. The fact is the vast majority of Mountain Lion users will not be experiencing any major problems with the OS, or maybe with apps which are not compatible, but thats hardly Apple's fault if developers don't update their apps.

Backup going nuts

I've posted questions about this problem with the backup (under 10.8.3) and watching it discovered that while normally the backup takes 3-5 minutes and occasionally 5-10 minutes for large updates of applications, every few days the backup will go nuts and backup 25-50 GBytes. The console logs will show the normal 2-4 GBytes required for padding for 200-1,000 MBytes of files but then just keep going for an hour or two before stopping for no obvious or apparent reason. I've deleted the .v100 file on the TC, move the disk out and back in the spotlight, done checks of the sparsebundle, etc. and nothing indicates anything is wrong.
It would be nice if someone would make some suggestions what's left to check to determine why the backup is going nuts every 3-4 days and eating lots of unncessary disk space. The backup got better under 10.8.3 but this is still an issue which needs explanation since the log and the backup don't match.

Does anyone know how to see what the backup is doing or what it's backing up? For the fourth time in 10 days it wrote the lines for the latest example:
Found 99 files (2.2 MB) needing backup
2.88 GB required (including padding), 533 GB avaiilable
And then it went and ran for two hours to backup up over 50 GBytes of what I don't know.
This is what it does every time and it's not consistent when it does it except it's every 3-4 days. I realize it's not really important since it deletes space to do a backup when the HD runs out of space, but doing these backups and deleting the space when it's full interfers with the disk usage and network resources with other applications running. It doesn't matter if I turn the backup off because it resumes where it was when I turn it back on.

Flash Problems - Help Going Nuts!

Hi all,
I have a brand new MacBook Pro (13in) with all the latest patches for Mac OS, Safari and Flash etc etc... Unfortunately I do not seem to be able to get even a simple internet video to work, for instance even a small video on YouTube cannot run without constant stops and starts. How on earth do I get internet video to work properly, has anyone got any ideas as this new machine seems worse at viewing internet based video than my old Windows based Sony Vaio which I used in the 90's !!!! I cannot believe that a machine with 4GB of RAM and a decent fast processor cannot even be used to watch YouTube !!!!
I have tried everything I can think of, I have reinstalled my Flash player, reinstalled Safari, repaired permissions on my HD, reset PRAM etc etc until I have lost all patience. Nothing seems to work. I have this same problem on any browser I try and use. To prove this I have tried, Safari, Chrome, FireFox and none of them seems able to play video off the internet without constant stopping and starting, it makes the whole idea of multimedia a complete waste of time as it's worse than pulling teeth.... It' driving my NUTS!!!! ARRRRRR...
Can anyone suggest how I can restore my sanity and get internet video to work on this new wonder machine. I'm a website developer and have a client who just happens to use a LOT of video on his new site.... Trying to develop for this client on my Mac has turned into a NIGHTMARE. I'm even thinking the unthinkable and considering trying a Windows based PC as at the moment I can't seem to make any headway.:-(
Any help GREATLY appreciated.

*brand new MacBook Pro*, yet your profile info shows that you're running Tiger! If this is going on using wifi, then please state and tell us what happens when you connect directly to the internet. If nothing seems to fix your issue, take it back to whence it came and let them deal with it.

Aperture goes besirk after making star ratings on my images

After I make evaluations of each of my photos (*) etc. the program goes besirk. I can export versions, the program seems to hang up. The menu window won't stay open. It just flashes open and then closes. So I cannot change the rating of the pictures.
This has happened after I upgraded to the lastest version of Aperture with 10.4.7 OS.
When I go to the photos and turn off the rating using the menu bar the program seems to run just fine.
How do I solve this?

It's sorted by image date... moreover now it's a fresh install of aperture... i've made a backup of my library, and this is a new library it has created where i've only imported 3 small jpgs, i've put one star to one, 3 stars to another, and left the first one unrated. Same thing happens only with 3 pictures in the library. As soon as i rate one, or i select a picture previously rated, it takes a minute to display the image, it show it on the viewer and doesnt frame it white in the grid.
I've just found out something, this only happens when the Info panel is on AND when the field "Ratings" is displayed... when i switch to a metadata set that doenst display the field "Ratings" (or when i remove this field from the set "General") Aperture works normaly just like before. Thats very weird, but anyway the temporary solution may be to remove the field "Ratings" from the Info panel in all the metadata sets you use. This is not a problem for me since i never read the rating from there as they are shown on every picture. The only thing is that now with that problem i'm not very confident in Aperture, i will start making some new vaults!

Ssd usage going nuts?

With a new Samsung 850 Pro SSD and a clean Yosemite install I didn't expected this usage of the free space on the SSD:

Available: 5,93 GB
Installed programms:
Numbers (no spreadsheets created yet)
Pages (no docs created yet)

Is there anybody who can explain to me what's going wrong and how to fix/prevent that in future?
Thanks in advance

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

Arrrgh! Aperture goes feral - Colours all over the place

Hi,
I have only had the iMac for a week, so apologies if this is bleeding obvious to everybody else. Installed the Aperture trial tonite and imported my existing raw folder structure.
The resulting photos showing in Aperture 2.1.1 trial looked like pop art posters - lurid 2 - 4 tone greens and reds, white balance showing as 50000K (yes, fifty thousand), in combo with maxed out tint, over or under-expose settings. In some cases a whole session of photos would be affected, in others only a few.
To make matters worse, blown highlights and over-exposed areas are showing as hot pink, rather than the intended white glare. Note that the showing of blown areas is turned OFF....
Supporting info:
- camera is Nikon D40, auto white balance, NEF format RAW
- jpeg photos are not affected by the gremlins
- changing from version 2.1 to previous versions of the raw coverter does not fix the problem
- the NEF files show beautifully in ViewNX
- there is no correlation between adjustments made to photos in ViewNX (e.g. white balance or exposure tweaking) and aberrations in Aperture.
I had thought that Aperture was going to be my new default photo management and tweaking application, but it's effectively un-usable at the moment. Any advice most appreciated.

PSE6 Mac Printing Colours darker than PSE4 - Adobe accepts fault

I am unable to replicate quality of printing on MACOSX PSE6. it works great on PSE4. I mailed some printed images on art paper to adobe in amsterdam and a cd with the same images. After weeks of discussions phone, email and after testing using their work flow....they came back with some answers.
Finally a couple of replies from Adobe re colour problems and they have accepted that they are double managing the image and that I should use printer management to do the colour conversion.. here are their two replies and the comment that they will now drop me until???????

Answer #1   Your Customer Service Number is: 129800224   Thank you for contacting Adobe Technical Support.   After consulting with my colleagues about the issue you raised, I can let you know the following:   The issue is both on our as well as the driver software side and the workaround we have given is the best available at this time. This issue is affecting all printers, not just Epson or Canon.   The soft proofing effect that you are seeing in the print preview is indeed an attempt at soft proofing. However since Photoshop Elements managed prints are incorrectly double colour managed it is not as useful as it was initially designed.   As to the exact details of why this occurred, we have no official information.   We believe that this will resolve the issues you are experiencing, however, should the reply not help solve the problem, please contact us again, quoting the case number given above, and we will re-open the case.
  Answer # 2  Subject: Re: Adobe TS #180107025 / Mario / PSE6 oversaturated Print (KMM3793441I51L0KM)   Dear Mr. Laugesen,   We have had word back from our engineers regarding your issue.   The Photoshop Elements team are aware of the problem and are working with Apple and the printer manufacturers to get this to work correctly. In the meantime, the only workaround is to switch off colour management in Photoshop Elements and let the printer handle the colour management.   Unfortunately we can not make an estimation as to when a fix will be provided. We will close the case for the time being as there really is nothing more we can do about this issue besides offering the suggested workaround. Closing this case does not mean that the research will stop however and the engineers are working on a solution to this.   Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.11) epson R2400
