Aperture hangs on imports and other stability issues

My aperture will hang on imports, does not like me to do anything else at all when importing, lest it hang and if it hangs once and I force quit I have to restart the system to make it work again. I have had 5 crashes today and really PO'd. This is 1.5.6 and I am running 10.5.5.

Have you done anything to the files before importing them? In particular I'm thinking about giving them keywords through Bridge or LightRoom?
I have experienced Aperture hanging until force quit if I had done keywording to the (in my case) DNG's via Bridge / LightRoom prior to importing them into Aperture.
Regards

Why don't you describe the issues so we know what you are talking about.

PSE 11 editor has stopped importing from scanner, no longer permits drag and drop, will not permit cropping, and other bizarre issues

Windows 8.1, PSE 11
I am having a number of issues including loss of import functionality from scanner, I can't drag and drop photos into the editor any more as well, or at least not after the first one. The crop function stops working after the first couple of photos. Then some freezing. A little added crashing. A plethora of other bizarre issues as well. This just stated happening a couple of days ago.
What I have tried:
Uninstall/Install.
Deleted preferences both before opening Editor (crontrol-alt-delete) and after opening it.
Kindly advise. Thanks!

Final Update: ...god willing...
OK! Check it, like I said in previous posts I seemed to have narrowed it down to specific mp3s not converting and playing in their native sample rate which if paired with another sample would give you the "audio midi sync" error and basically screw up your clock! It appears mp3 files converting to mp3 using iTunes would not convert to the correct sample rate if set to something other than 44 in logic and cause this. A tad peculiar Apple iTunes won't work with Apple Logic. I was able to confirm this on two mac's via my friend in Florida. He's running Tiger and tried the same experiment and Booya! Mickey Mouse! It appears this insane week long adventure has came to an end (...god willing) with a super specific unlucky shot in the dark on my part finally revealed to be an perfectly normal function of Logic (obviously one i'm not fond of..) As far as the errors / crashes / system overloads / kernal panics I think I can sort those out to the mackie onyx satellite not being a good choice and trying to add and remove firewire devices in the middle of the sample rate mayhem. Wow! all I can say is, I'm glad it's over
Wish me a lot of luck in the future.. I'm sure i'll need it!

Aperture hangs on import from iPhone or camera

Since a few weeks I can't import from my iPhone or digital camera anymore.
If I try to import Photos from my iPhone or camera Aperture hangs forever. The Photos should be imported as referenced ones to a folder on a network share on a Mac OS X Server. This works fine, if the Picture source is i.e. a memory card or a HDD. And it has been working with the iPohne and camera before.
What happens is, that Aperture creates a file like "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" with 0 Bytes in the target folder. And than it hangs.
From this point on there is a permanent network traffic, and reasonable CPU load on both Macs (the kernel_task on the client and the AppleFileServer task on the Server). If I delete the "..importing.IMG0815.JPG" file it is instantly recreated. This continues even if I kill the Aperture application. The only way to stop this is to unmount the Network Volume.
Does anyone has an idea what this may cause?

Aperture, Lightroom etc. are all designed to make use of direct import. They are safer than copying your files via the OS tools for the simple reason they access the cards read-only. If you use OS tools to copy then you are accessing the cards read-write which is far more dangerous if something goes wrong.
Culling your images during import saves time and disk space also. Copying your images directly and then importing is a WASTE OF YOUR TIME.
We disagree. Although such apps are indeed "designed" for direct import, my empirical observations since the earliest days of digital imagery have been that interacting indirectly using an app like Aperture is much, much less stable than directly interacting via Finder when properly done. One can peruse literally hundreds of digital image threads including this one to see overwhelming real-world evidence of what I am talking about.

Aperture hangs while importing from iPhone

Hello,
Aperture 3.5.1 hangs on MacOS 10.9.2 after importing pictures from the iPhone.
All pictures are in fact imported, but the process is never finished and the dialog, if I want to delete the imported originals never pops up.
When I unplug the iPhone, I won't get an error alert. I also can't quit the application. It looks like hanging in an endless loop.
any idea how to fix that?
Thanks
matthias

There may be a photo or video on your iPhone, that cannot be imported and needs to be deleted from your iPhone, matthias. Do you remember when this problem started, so you can identify the videos or photos that are causing this? Can Image Capture import without hanging?
Have you installed the most recent iTunes update? It is supposed to fix problems with syncing to devices.
If none of the applications can import from your iPhone, I would try to troubleshoot the phone:
Try the three R's - Restart, Reset, Restore

Hanging start up and other oddities

Hanging Startup and other oddities
I'm not especially proficient with the upkeep and terminology that comes with the programming aspect of Macs, so, if you do help, if you could please put whatever advice you have in lay terms, it would really help me out.
I've had my laptop computer for going on three years now, and I've never had a problem like this before. My machine started to really slow down yesterday morning, and generally when ever it does that, I just do a quick restart, and everything is back at normal. Well, not so yesterday.
To begin with, it took me to the grey screen, and it just stayed there for about ten minuets. It didn't change, didn't move to load the apple insignia, nothing. So I gave it a forced restart, and it did it again, except it load the apple logo.
Third time, it got me to blue screen. On restart #4 (force restart #3), it finally loads into my desk top, but the slow processing remained. I tried to go in and repair disk permissions, but then it froze up, and I forced a restart. This time, back to the grey screen.
I lost count as to how many time I restarted, but I finally went and rooted out my OS disks, and did a restart with disk 1 in, holding down PR+CtrlApple (It was my understanding that this would zap the P-Ram, and would at lest sort of help with whatever my problem was). Well, it took me to grey screen, but now a small folder is in the center of my screen. going from the finder icon to a "?" in the middle of the folder.
Did a restart holding down the "C" key, and it went into the install screen that launches from the disk. I was able to click through to select the drive I wanted, then my hard drive didn't show up as a possible selection. Yet ANOTHER C key restart, and this time it showed up.
Went through the first loading screen, where it is checking permissions, and everything's fine, but when I get to the installation process, it tells me there is an error with my perimeters, and I should restart and try again. Did this again, and I had to start over from square one.
I tried just a normal restart after three or four attempts at an installation, and now, whenever I load it without C depressed, a grey box shows up in the middle of my screen with an image of the globe on it, and it flashes. Nothing else loads until I do a restart.
It's my impression this, obviously, isn't a good sign and I should get in contact with someone who knows what they're doing and can walk me through it and get my computer running again. I thought I'd run it by you guys here before I called Apple, and, hopefully, you guys can help me out/help me better describe my problem. Any help you can give - links to other threads, experiences, what something means, what to tell a technician that I'm looking at/going through, anything at all, will help me tremendously.
Thanks for your help and time,
Brittany
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) Owned Since April, 2004

Hey Gary, thanks for the welcome!
By the time I was able to pull your suggestions off of the form, I had already done a few things to my computer, as per recommended by the Apple site. This article is what I was pulling my steps off of.
I started at step 4 (Selecting the "Connect automatically when starting TCP/IP applications") and went through to step 8, semi-step i.
1 - I tried to start up in safe mode (Shift+Restart) and I logged several kernal panic screens before I even got to the apple insignia on a grey screen.
2 - I ran Disk Utility several times, and would come up with an error and a notice that the utility had quit. The first time I ran it, I noticed that it had found a lot of Oprhaned indirect iNodes, and by the second time the utility was ran, they no longer showed up in the right pane of the box. The fifth time it ran, it took roughly two hours to complete, and actually went all the way through.
3 - Still would not load past the grey screen, so I went through and did fsck check a couple of times, and it told me that my machine appeared to be ok. I got all the way through the step where it tells you to run a fsck, then type in a mv Preferences Preferences_old, then did a reboot and let my computer load.
When it finally did load (the actual boot up and load took about ten minuets, which is about seven minuets slower than normal), it took forever to do any commands that I issued. I went through and backed up all of my files onto my external, and then I went to go follow the rest of the step, and my computer froze up. I decided to save the rest of the procedure for today, when I can find some time.
The basic thing that I'm concerned about now is that the machine is running exceptionally slow. It loaded Safari and a couple of other applications I'm always in, but it took roughly ten times longer than normal to do anything.
Since it's recignising the machine and loading into my desktop, I was going to see if I can now do a safe restart and see if I can follow any of the steps that are dictated by the site, but I'm still not certian if that will work. Last time I tried it, I got a kernal panic screen.
Anything I should try?

I am experiencing very slow import and backing up issues.

I am experiencing very slow import and backing up catalog on exiting Lightroom. This is a very recent issue. I use RAW files.

The type of files you are importing will have an effect on the speed of the import process. Larger files, like raw sensor files, are normally much larger than JPG files.
But if this is something new, the slowness, and you are using the same camera with the same size files as previously then it's not just the file size.
What type of computer and what operating system are you using.

N8 poor signal reception and other hardware issues...

I have always been a Nokia fan . I started with Nokia 6600, then N70, then N82 and now a Nokia N8.
However, I am facing the worst experience with N8 reception issues.
The problems faced are as under :
1) Poor Signal Reception Issues - Signal strength is weak and is constantly fluctuating compared to other Nokia Phones. At my workplace, if Nokia N82 displays 5 bars, N8 would display only 1 or 2 bars.
2) Phone freezes many times. Whenever an Alarm is enabled, phone freezed much more.
3) Purple Tint in the display. Nokia Service Centre says that its normal but according to me, they are just ignoring this issue.
4) Vibration is weak : I often do not realize when the phone is vibrating in my pocket !!
Upcoming Symbian Anna will just improve the user interface but will not be able to solve these hardware issues.
If Nokia plans a hardware update facility for N8 users wherein they can fix the signal reception issues and increase the RAM to 1 GB atleast, I would retain this phone for few years.
But, now, I intend to switch to Samsung Galaxy S II.
Your views solicited.

Recently I have not been able to post comments and other related issues.

On some websites like Reddit.com I am usually no longer able to post in comment boxes. I can type my comment in the box, but hitting save clears the box and no comment is posted (oddly, i noticed that the comment ends up at the end of the url).
Or use the cursor to click on up and down vote arrows. When I mouse over the arrow, it changes to a hand with pointed finger, but clicking the link does nothing.
Or post photos.
Normally I use Firefox 29.0.1 (which I have been using a long time and do not want to change). But the problems I mention here apply to both browsers, depending... on other things I cannot control or figure out. But at the moment, I can use links for comments etc. on IE8 (cannot update), but not on FF.
I've asked Reddit help but so far nobody has replied (r/bugs and r/help).

Sounds that you are blocking JavaScript.
Do you have security software that might be blocking JavaScript?
Just to be sure: Java and JavaScript are different languages.
To avoid confusion, see:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/JavaScript_is_not_Java
Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test.
*http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/tutorials/how-to-start-windows-in-safe-mode/
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder before (re)installing a fresh copy of the current Firefox release.
*Download the full Firefox installer and save the file to the desktop<br>https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
If possible uninstall your current Firefox version to cleanup the Windows registry and settings in security software.
*Do NOT remove "personal data" when you uninstall your current Firefox version, because this will remove all profile folders and you lose personal data like bookmarks and passwords including data in profiles created by other Firefox versions.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
*(32 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\"
*(64 bit Windows) "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\"
*It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
Your bookmarks and other personal data are stored in the Firefox profile folder and won't be affected by an uninstall and (re)install, but make sure NOT to remove personal data when you uninstall Firefox as that will remove all Firefox profile folders and you lose your personal data.
If you keep having problems then also create a new profile.

SQL Server Import and Export Wizard Issue

i am trying to export SQL data into excel to send out weekly reports. I have created a view and a SQL account has access to this view; however, I am unable to successfully export the data. In preview I see all of the data yet it fails on the
Pre-execute with the below. It creates the excel file with just the header. I am using SQL 2014 and loaded the 64 bit AccessDatabaseengine. I am selecting excel 2007. Any ideas welcome.

Hi astro,
Please ensure that you haven’t renamed or moved the destination excel file during the exporting process. Also make sure that “Create destination table” option is checked as below screenshot and the SQL statement is correct.

Slow finder indexing, and other Mavericks issue

Since downloading Mavericks i have two issues that have started to become annoying..
When i open a finder window, or when trying to save something, the indexing takes ages. Was always instant in mountain lion..
Also now if i right click an image for example that is an attatchment in mail it brings up the "open with" option but when i hover on it i just get "preview, colorsync and other"
I used to get a list and always had the option of adobe photoshop cs6 ... i now have to click on other everyu time and search through my applications to find cs6. Is there no way of getting it back to a list of options?
I am on an 21 inch iMac. 2.66 core 2 duo with 8 gb 1067 ddr3 memory... mid 2009 iMac if it makes any odds.

@shashinka ; I'm sorry I did not tell it before but I have maxed out memory RAM on my MacBook (I got 8 GB in total) well before Mavericsk and I also find that is not a memory related problem. Do not be sad and considers that having more memory is almost always a good thing in general (and that you can resell it too).
Another thing i do not mention: I have the same problem on my other Mac ( iMac (21.5-inch Late 2009) ) that had maxed memory too ( 16GB there).
The point is this "systemstas" hog process.
Now I read 6 "I have this question too" : someone else want to add an articulated response ?
I am a little surprised that I did not even have found a single person who does not agree with my post (or even just with my polemical tone). I begin to suspect that here, in the house of the Big Apple, no one is interested in listening to real stories about "customer dissatisfaction", that's simple something that "cant be".

Aperture hangs at Import (resolution)

At some point, every time I tried to import from any location, Aperture would hang, and I would have to Force Quit. The log files generated showed that a jpeg was corrupt, but even with an empty library I could get no further than showing the import pane on the left.
Nothing worked - trashing Aperture, rebuilding the catalog, nada. I finally was able to get things going again by deleting the prefs file: user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
This may have been related to the same lift & stamp issue discussed here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=3106463#3106463
I had not seen this symptom discussed anywhere else though.
Mac Pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

i had also the problem that aperture did not start again and hang.
my problem was that i removed some fonts from the library folder.
backed up the fonts again and aperture launched
maybe this helps?

How do I get Apple to stand behind their warranty and replace my defective computer? The hard drive has been replaced twice, the track pad once, and other hardware issues. Can anyone help me so I can get Apple to replace my defective

My computer has been a lemon. They refuse to properly diagnose, fix, and document my complaints regarding the multiple failures I have had with this computer. Also, I was told that upon my logic board being replaced back in April or May that the topic of replacing the computer altogether with one of equal equipment would be appropriate. Insofar, I have been to the store at least three times in the past month to discuss my issues with the computer that were not resolved when the hard drive was replaced in May. I was also told that the repairs on my system would be good for up to 90 days after the repair work was done and that I could buy AppleCare at the end of the 90 days in lieu of insuring a product that still had defects. I have been on the phone for what feels like hours with Apple trying to work this issue out but they are not wanting to stand behind their product nor are they willing to stand behind their warranty. The warranty expressly states that a computer can be replaced entirely if the defect is considered hardware malfunction and at the representative’s discretion. Every time I brought it in for repair it was due to hardware malfunction; however, they also said once that it was an accessory that I bought that was causing the problem which ended up not being the case after all. This is totally unacceptable. I also asked Mark from AppleCare to let me know what was repaired the second time the computer was put through a diagnostic at the Apple Store. Beachballs, Gears, excessive heat, not being taken seriously at the Apple Store, being insulted by a Mac Genius at the Apple Store, being misinformed by a Mac Genius, dealing with a misinformed Mac Genius. They replaced my iPod touch without much ado. I was also accused by an Apple Genius of being "hyperbolic." He said this in response to my complaint of the computer melting--literally--items on my computer desk. I am either wanting a refund of my money or a replacement of my laptop. Also, I have lost an incredible amount of data on my computer due to the hard drive being replaced x 2. Not acceptable. Also, the Apple store is 1 hour from where I live. I am currently looking for employment and additionally have a legal case pending where I am the plaintiff. I have lost VERY important documents in both matters which has caused an extreme amount of stress. I do not need the added stress of an unreliable and unsafe computer. I also have been waiting for a call back from Kelly (left two voice messages with Kelly) and Mark (wrote an e-mail for which he has not responded to insofar) at Apple but have heard nothing from either one of them regarding the status of my computer. The only thing I received which was automated by the Apple Store was a confirmation that my computer was ready. I have requested documentation of what was done (basically, I am asking for the receipt) before I drive an hour to pick it up. Haven't heard anything. I brought this computer in on July 24, 2011. We are now upon August 2nd. When do I get to know what was even done on my computer? Do they really think that I am going to take back a computer into my possession only to have to bring it back shortly thereafter to address one of the many issues causing it to malfunction in the first place? I have owned 5 computers since 1988. All of them PCs. This is my first Mac. Will it be my last?

The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...

Can't access "Network" and other performance issues

Hi all,
I'm facing a catch-22 and am not sure what to do to get myself and my mac out of this downward spiral. Any help you can offer would be greatly appreciated (fyi I am admittedly not great with macs and probably don't maintain my MacBook Pro well enough).
I've had a serious slowdown in performance starting a couple weeks ago. the system moves at a glacial pace and most of the time is spent watching the spinning rainbow.
To add to my issues, my ISP recently performed a system upgrade which requires me to change some settings under "Network" in my system preferences. Well, when I try to access "Network", the machine thinks for a while, then an error message appears telling me that the network preferences has shut down unexpectedly. When I hit "retry" the error message eventually reappears.
So, because of the upgrade, I can't access the internet to download any repairs for the machine, and because of the problems with the machine, I can't modify the preferences to access the internet. Obviously a vicious cycle which someone of my expertise level is struggling to solve.
Side notes
- I've passed the 90-day phone support period so can't call for help.
- I'm on my work computer now. Could I download some repair/diagnostic tool here, then run it on my machine at home?
If anyone can throw me a lifeline I would be grateful!

OZ 99,
For logic's sake, I'm gong to take these out of order a bit:
2) A "disk error" occurs when the "file system" (sometimes called the "disk directory") becomes damaged. This is data that is written to the HD, so yes, it could be considered a software error. Your file system is, basically, a map of your physical HD, and it indexes the location on the drive of all the other files. When it is damaged for whatever reason, your disk "forgets" where some amount of data lives. Because of this, the associated files become damaged, or "corrupt." If those files happen to be critical components of the OS, bad things can happen. At worst, the disk will become unmountable, and all of your files unrecoverable.
1) Disk errors can be caused by several things. Sometimes, one or more "blocks" (let's call them physical locations on the disk) on your HD can become physically damaged. Whether this is because of a slight flaw in manufacturing, a scratch, magnetic particles that lose their "oomph," whatever, matters not. What is important is that some data is lost. Because the file system still believes there is data living in this location, it (the file system) is no longer reliable; it is damaged. While the initial loss of data could be considered hardware-related, the disk error is not. I'll come back to this.
Another potential cause is some random error in the process of writing data to the disk. Again, this is a software problem, not a hardware problem. The most common cause for this occurs when your computer is shut down improperly, either a forced shutdown or a power loss. Journaling, which is the default for an OS X boot volume, goes a long way toward automatically fixing these types of disk errors, but it is not always a guarantee.
If you have had your MBP for only a short period of time, it is not surprising that a disk error has occurred, and probably because of a bad block. Absolutely flawless drives are rare, and many computers ship with incipient disk errors. For this reason, many people like to format any new drive, even one in a new computer, right out of the box (I'll get to reasons why this is a good thing to do).
3) Yes. Disk Utility can check or repair your file system. Any repairs must be made using Disk Utility while booted to the OS X install disk. Your HD can be "verified," however, while booted to the HD. Simply open Disk Utilty (in the "Utilities" folder), select your startup disk, then click "Verify" in the "First Aid" pane.
4) Yes, you will have to reinstall all of your applications after formatting and reinstalling. Formatting erases everything on the volume or drive selected. Settings and data for all of those applications can be saved, however, then transferred back to the MBP after reinstalling OS X. Once the applications, themselves, have been reinstalled, you will be right back where you started. I can talk about making a comprehensive backup in another post, if you like.
DISK UTILITY: In my first post, I recommended that you select your entire drive, then using the "Zero All Data" option. This process takes a considerably longer amount of time (as much as an hour and a half, depending on the size of your drive), but it has one big advantage. When this option is used on an entire physical drive (also called a "device"), it will scan for those pesky bad blocks, and "map out" any it finds. Since these bad spots on the disk will not be included in the new file system's list of "useable" locations, your chances of encountering another disk error in the near future is drastically reduced. So, even though a bad block could be considered a hardware error, management of them is handled by software.
