Aperture has started random "processing"

I have been idle in the Aperture community for a while, but I have not found the answer to this problem in my searches.
My Aperture (Still 3.2.2) is processing a large number (2000) of images. It's just "Processing". There is no explanation of what it is doing or why it started. My wife started Aperture the other day and said "The computer's running slow". She does not know of any stray keystroke or menu option she chose.
Now, I have this "Processing" paused. While it was paused, I plugged an iPhone into my Mac. Instead of presenting me with an "Import from iPhone" window, Aperture started a secong "processing" activity! Now I have two "Processing" activities, without any indication of what or why!
I tried plugging in a different iPhone. It's fishy -- I did not get the"Import" window. However, Aperture did not start a third "Processing" activity.
The selection of photos that are being processed have no rhyme or reason to me. They are from different cameras, different years, different projects! Some are managed, some are referenced.
Does anyone have a clue what might have started this and what exactly Aperture is processing?

Hi Kirby,
Have you tried letting it process overnight?
I don't doubt that the Processing activity will finish if I let it -- I'm just afraid of what it is doing! If I didn't ask Aperture to do any heavyweight processing on my photos with Places, is it doing something that I don't want it to? Is it messing something up?
And is there a reason you've not updated to 3.2.3?
I usually watch the scuttlebutt about problems with upgrades for a little while before I perform the upgrade. This time, my personal life got put on hold while I work crazy hours at work. Once I get a chance to think about things and make sure my library is sufficiently backed up, I will upgrade. I know Apple makes things easy, but I always take a good chunk of time to make sure my system is in a good state to perform an upgrade that is as important as Aperture.

My Creative Zen has started randomly deleting alb

I bought my Zen (6 GB) from eBay on February 3rd.
It was deli'vered to me on the?5th of February. Although it was for my birthday (on the 23rd), I was allowed to put all my albums on it etc. so that it would be 00% ready for use when I actually opened it on my birthday morning.
I followed the instructions and did?nothing out of the ordinary. Charged it fully before use, didn't do anything weird when I was syncing music onto it, etc. I?have had three previous Creative MP3 players, one of them a Zen (4 GB), but decided to upgrade to 6 GB when?the?4 GB?became too small, and have treated them all the same. They have been fine.
I have been using?my current Zen?since the 23rd, but discovered about a week ago that it has started randomly deleting?various albums. I don't know if it just doesn't like Sting, Fleetwood Mac, or Mark Knopfler, but it's kind of irritating.
Has this happened to anyone else, and what might have caused it's Is it just faulty? Thanks.

My music is bought; just ripped from CD onto my laptop and synced using Windows Media Player (like all my previous MP3 players).
Also, I just remembered that it sometimes does this thing where it turns itself back on after I've turned it off.
Well, it's just deleted all my Bowie albums my guess is, the player s become sentient and has taken against the music I listen to.
Anyway, thanks for your help. I'll contact support and see how it goes from there.

IPhone 4S has started randomly asking for passwords; saying they're wrong

Hi Folks,
I don't normally post to these forums because I tend to solve my own issues, but I'm having a problem with my iPhone 4S which has stumped (and angered) me.
The device is running version 6.0.1 and isn't jailbroken or interfered with in any way.
A couple of days ago it started asking me to input the password for both my me.com and gmail.com accounts and when I did as prompted the device tells me that they're wrong - but they aren't! The issue means that I can't access either of my email accounts from my device and I can't download apps that I've previously bought and paid for.
I have tried:
Restoring the device
Deleting both accounts from the device and starting again
Using the Google captcha to give the device access permissions again
Rebooting
Turning off 2-step security on Google
Changing my me.com password
Changing my Google password
So far none of these have worked and I'm rapidly approaching my wits-end whereupon I hoy the device full pelt at a wall and buy something else.
Could anyone shed a little light (or sanity) to this issue?
Thanks in advance.

This issue is still a real pain in the arse - does anyone have any ideas?
Thought of asking Apple but was told that I'd have to pay them just to ask a question about a flaw with one of their products! Great customer service.

Random SP2 error when starting oracle process through SHELL script

Hi All,
I am trying to process data in n-Number of tables through a package. The package is called through a shell script to create start data processing. All calls to the package are in a sql script which is basically exec calls-
exec package.process ('T1','some param');
exec package.process ('T1','some param');
exec package.process ('T..n','some param');
I have a shell script which I use to execute commands from the sql script. There is a reason behind using shell script. For some strange reason, I keep on getting -
ERROR: logon denied - check for valid user with valid privileges
SP2-0640: Not connected
SP2-0641: "EXECUTE" requires connection to server
SP2-0640: Not connected
for some EXEC calls. Problem is, errors are generated at random. So in one run, I get error for T10,T11 and then in next run I might get for some other tables.
However, when I am running the sql script from the sql prompt, all calls to the package are executed without any problem.
This makes me think, it is something to do with the way database connection being initiated through UNIX.
Has anyone faced similar issue? Your help/gudence is much appreciated.
DB: Oracle 10.2.0.5
OS: SUN Solaris 10
Thanks in advance.

Login credentials are provided inside the shell script.
I did put a sleep(10) after EOF but no help. As mentioned if I run script file from sql promt, it runs without any hiccup. So it is the connection through the UNIX that is causing issue.
As pointed out by Sybrand, I agree that it does not make a sense to connect and commit after every sql statement. So decided to change the shell script and so far, the result from my initial tests on a sample data is quite encouraging. Hopefully I will have a solution.
But it will be nice to know why SHELL is doing what it is doing!!
Legacy prog are sometime big time eye-openers..;)

Failed to start worker process: Logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon type at this computer. (0x80070569

We just rebuilt our machine with server 2012, and it was working flawlessly and then randomly it started giving me this error if i would try to start up a machine. At first this was just an annoyance but now it is worrying me greatly. I have tried
everything from logging on as the domain admin account to the actual server administrator account. Nothing seems to start these machines up, and I need them to start.

my Macbook Pro (OSX 10.6.7 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) has started misbehaving on me. When I'm working, the cursor will start spontaneously moving to the in a straight line, and randomly right clicking on things.
If I close the computer and open it back up, it sometimes stops for a little while, then will spontaneously start again. Any help would be truly appreciated. Thanks!

See this knowledge base article. Also, you might want to update to 10.6.8 (don't know that that will fix your problem, but it's the latest version of Snow Leopard).

Why has Aperture suddenly started "beachballing"?

It appears that ever since I have started "Vaulting" (Verbatim portable HD); Aperture has become slow and started beachballing every time I launch application. The trainer at the store installed iStat(?) but it hasn't helped me with anything. I am editing and printing my pictures OK, but the slowness of the "Preview" and "Thumbnails" and this beachballing are driving me crazy. Anyone got any ideas? Many thanks.

Maxgirl-
Drives slow as they fill beyond about half full. Your drive is less than half full, so when no external drive is attached the drive(s) are unlikely to be part of the slowdown. Images fill drives quickly, however, so later on (after this current issue is resolved) personally I would "Reference" Master images by moving new originals to an external drive prior to importing into Aperture because trying to keep originals on a laptop drive usually sooner or later overfills the internal drive.
You did not state your RAM, but whatever it is you should max it out like Steven suggests; very important. Laptops and iMacs are by definition limiting to heavy graphics apps, so we want to max out hardware as best we can and keep setups as clean as possible.
A good idea is to restart your Mac before each session with Aperture, and do not have any other unnecessary apps open, especially browsers. Keep the OS, Aperture and other apps up to date at their most current levels, and like Steven suggests turn off Preview building while you are working. If you run Photoshop concurrently be aware that it too can be a RAM hog; if you are not yet on PSCS3, upgrade now because PSCS3 is fastest and Rosetta emulation will absolutely kill performance.
Also, be aware that all kinds of things affect overall operational speed with heavy graphics apps. Although repairing Permissions is not a fix for poor performance, many of us on the PS forums, for instance, find that religiously repairing Permissions immediately before and immediately after every installation of any kind helps keep a graphics box running more smoothly. Similarly, avoiding letting games or crapware (e.g. any free non-Apple app) get anywhere near the box also helps.
Under System Preferences/Energy Saver set to "Optimize Performance," and when possible run attached to a/c power when using Aperture.
Good luck! Please let us know how it all resolves.

P.S. I recommend the US$35 tutorial CD Apple Pro Training Series: Aperture 2 (Apple Pro Training Series) by Ben Long, Richard Harrington, and Orlando Luna (Paperback - May 8, 2008), Amazon.com. Note that the value is in the tutorial, not in using the book as a manual.
P.P.S. Steve Weller, builder of the excellent <http://www.bagelturf.com/index.html> Aperture website, discusses speed improvements here:
<http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1273934&tstart=75>
To really maximize performance after hardware is optimized, work to dial in each of the performance tweaks he discusses.

Users added to a Task AFTER the BPM process has started

Does anyone know of a way to assign users to a task AFTER the BPM process has started?

Hi Craig,
whenever a Task Instance gets created, the assigned roles and groups are resolved into individual users. This means that changes to the roles and groups do not affect existing Task Instances.Then the only way to assign additional users is via "nominate" operation from the NWA or "delegate" from the Task UI. Such changes in the roles and groups will only take affect for newly created Task Instances.
Hope this helps.

I have tried to update the operating system on my ipad several times without success. Each time it reaches 353.2mb of 353.2mb and starts to process the file. Nothing happens and then I get a message saying the network connection has timed out.

Have you tried temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software whilst the download is happening ? A number of people on here have had success downloading it after doing so.

Are you using WiFi? if you are this will take a long time, switching to a wired connection will go much faster but as you have started I would not change now.

What you describe sounds like a hardware issue. Unfortunately, you'll need to get that checked out by Apple. If you have an Apple Store near you, make an appointment with the Genius Bar and take the machine in for evaluation.

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally bottom half or top half

My Printer has started missing or half printing random lines horizontally. Bottom half or top half is missing . I have an Officejet Pro 750 and run Windows 7, 64 bit. For a while if I turned off normal mode and selected best, it was Ok. Now it doesn't matter which mode I use,I have done all the tests and cleaning required but no joy...Help

I have done what you suggested. However, I have to disagree with you about the 'third party' comment. Although those minor issues were on there which I picked up on shortly afterwards, they were easily removed. It hasn't CHANGED the symptoms I described about my mac. Both items are removed (growl only tends to make your mac 'lag' and that's not the problem I'm having)
I am still having all the above issues, regardless of my mac being fully minus third party items. This mac hasn't had any heavy use, or had many applications installed on it ect, there is really no reason for it to be failing. I'd understand if it was old, but it's literally only just passed being 3 years old.
If you can provide any more help that would be appreciated, thank you!

MSi GE60 0ND - Fan has started to randomly speed up slow down

MSi GE60 0ND-463UK
I7 3630QM
GTX660M
Windows 8 64 bit
As of yesterday, my laptop has started to weirdly (under no loading on GPU or CPU, CPU 20% max during HD video watching on Youtube/Twitch.tv) causing my fan to go from being quiet to shoot up in speed, this seems to stop when plugged in but when on battery power it's becoming more frequent. The only thing that is being done on the laptop when this happens is internet browser use.
I cleaned my laptop 2 days before yesterday so it can't be a heat issue or dust issue. I'm quite clueless right now. I'm not what else to tell you, as that's all I've done. No updates to windows, no software updates on anything for over a week now I believe. Cable issue maybe?
Hope I can get some info on this.

For flashing you can use >>Clear CMOS Guide<<
point to mode 1 then point to archive file.
wait the USB key to be prepared, then reboot your notebook.
go in BIOS setup, then set boot mode to legacy,
then save and exit, and press F11 at bios post/logo screen for BBC popup with storages,
when USB key appear choose it to boot from it and proceed with update
USB prepared properly according to the Software. Restarted my laptop
Legacy mode engaged, saved ad exited, pressed F11, found my USB Kingston, and this is the message I received when selected. Not quite sure what it meant but clearly something is wrong.

How to start Archiving process in production system.

Dear Experts,
As i was new to archiving process need help regarding this.as our client as 1.3 Tb of data with them,as they want to clean the unwanted data from the database.as they are using windows 2003 as server, oracle as database and using sapr/3 4.6 c.i want to know from where i have to start the process.i have read so many threads regarding this.they are helpful for me.i have some queries that i have to clarify.
1) I have found which table increasing more in database.,i have checked (DB15 ,SAARA).how to find this has to archive.
2) Data which is not important who has to delete that data.i heard data deletion is not basis work.
3) After deleting data in datbase without reorganising space will not be empty is this may be the cause??
4) is there any data loss in reoraganising??
5) is there any way to do reorganising with brtools in oracle.??
Please clarify me.
Regards,
Naveen N

Dear Naveen,
Data archiving is an inter-departmental activity.
The person responsible for each application (which he/she is using in SAP Solution to carry out the business process) should be involved in SAP Data Archiving Process/Activities.
The team should be grouped with the persons responsible for each application.
After the planned Analysis, The team grouped for executing the Data Archiving process produce the checklist for Archive Data (based on your business process and other dependent factors). They will provide the inputs (archiving objects) for Data Archiving requirements.
Moreover, As a part of Data Archiving process, you will have to delete the planned archive data from the actual Database. So, some spaces will become free in Database but all will be scattered in its respected Tablespace(s) in random manner. You will have to perform Database Reorganization to regain the free space.Because, The Data is stored in Database in form of Fragmented database objects (Tables/Indexes) in its respective Tablespace (s).Reorganization is generally performed to defragment these database objects. By doing so, one can improve performance and regain the space within tablespaces that was being unused due to fragmentation.
I hope this information will be helpful.
Regards,
Bhavik G. Shroff
