Aperture import and desktop problem

My Aperture main screen had changed and can not be fully used, as some pictures are not vissible in the browser view. As well the picture if shown in full screen in the main screen is not shown properly - 1/4 on the right side is missing.
Today I realized, that the missing 1/4 of the working desk is impacting the import - the menu to put create new project and all the data of the picture is missing - so totally impossible to import new pictures.
Does any one know how to adjust the desk in Aperture and show/hide the importing dialogues?
help appreciated.

Hello Milo,
a similar problem occured recently, see this discussion.
The problem could be solved by removing the preferences file to the Desktop and restarting Aperture, for Aperture stores the layout of the main window in this file.
The preferences file is ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
That file is in your User Library.
Quit Aperture, if it is running,
To reveal the hidden User Library in Lion, activate the Finder by clicking on the Desktop, then go to the main Finder menu at the top of the screen, and select the menu Go -> Go to Folder.
in Lion now hold down the alt-or-option key, and your User Library will appear in the Drop down menu. Select it to open in Finder. (in other MacOS you can access your User Library by opening your Home Folder from the Finder Sidebar).
Once your User Library is revealed in the Finder, navigate to the sub folder "Preferences" and scroll down the long list, until you find
com.apple.Aperture.plist
move it to the desktop.
Log off and log on again.
restart Aperture and see, if the fix worked.
And please, post back and tell us, if you were successful
Regards

Data importing and exporting problem between BADI's

Hi Experts,
I am facing a problem in importing and exporting the data between badi's.
I am able to import and export the data between DOC CHANGE and DOC CHECK BADI's etc; but now i have a requirement to map a field from SRM to R/3.
Supplier order key field which is added to the basic data section of Shopping Cart should be mapped to the corresponding fields in R/3. I have added the field and when i am trying to map it to R/3 i am facing the probelm.
This Supplier order key field will be coming from ZBBP_CATALOG_TRANSFER badi and i am trying to map it in the Z_BBP_CREATE_PO_BACK Badi; i tried by using the below statement to export a single parameter to PO BACK badi from CATALOG TRANSFER Badi
EXPORT zsupp_ord_key FROM zsupp_ord_key TO MEMORY ID 'Z_SUPP_ORD_KEY'.
which is not working.
IMPORT zsupp_ord_key TO zsupp_ord_key FROM MEMORY ID 'Z_SUPP_ORD_KEY'. in PO BACK BADI.
Can any one please let me know why this is happening?
And i have strange problem in this ...
when a user copies a catalog which is already created then we can not map the field to R/3 PO
and again if he tries to create a cart by selecting "Old carts which are already created" we cant map field for the above two things to happen i think we need a custom coding .....
Thank you
Lokesh.

Hi Lokesh,
BADI implementations have classes for which an instance is created at runtime and hence the import and export memory logic will not work.
Please try to create a function module for these BADI and call them in these BADI's. Then go ahead with the import and export logic. This could help.
I would rather advice, to figure out an option to avoid this memory manipulations.

Various bugs – Library view issue / import and copy problem / unsupported paths message

In addition to the issues reported in a separate thread regarding importing video, there are several other bugs that are preventing me from progressing on a project and/or indicate instability in Edge Animate. These issues don’t occur on new projects (yet), but are present in my current composition.
I'm using the latest version of Edge Animate CC 2014 (2014.1.1) on a Windows 8 Pro (fully updated) system.
Issue 1 – Library View
For all the assets that have been imported, when I twirl down to view the thumbnail of each asset in the Library, nothing appears in the thumbnail area. In earlier iterations of this project, all the items appeared correctly, but now nothing is there for any of the assets. See sample below of what should appear (and what was there before), and what’s there now (nothing).
Issue 2 – Asset Import Problem
When I try to add an already imported image asset to the stage (or try to import a new image asset in the project), the item doesn’t appear properly – it just comes in as a dot with no height or width. See samples below of what the imported asset looks like on the stage and its size information.
Assets that were imported and placed before this bug occurred are still visible on the stage. But, if I copy one of these assets, the copy retains the size information, but does not appear at all. See sample.
Issue 3 – Unsupported Paths message
When I close the project, I get an unsupported paths message. See sample.
Despite this message, the assets appear in the project from within Edge and are present in the project if I open/preview the HTML file in my browser.
Since these three issues relate to project assets, perhaps they are related. I can provide a link to download this project if you like. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Avinash,
I'm glad you received the (large) project.
In the meantime, I installed Edge Animate on another system (OS - Windows 8.1). The Edge project exhibits the same problems on the other system.
Thanks for looking into this!
Regards,

IMPORT and EXPORT PROBLEM

Hi All
I have a problem.I need to export the data and then import it inot another database.I used imp and exp file but it is not exp and imp data but exp and imp database structure,triggers,procedure etc but not data
Please tell me how should i proceed.
Thanx
Manoj

When you export, it will list all of the table structures that you are exporting. You can limit some of the other information that it exports by setting parameters.
I assume that the database you want to import into already has all of the table structures and grants.
When you export, set the following parameters:
GRANTS=N
INDEXES=N
CONSTRAINTS=N
TRIGGERS=N
The default for exporting data is Y so you don't need to include that.
It will still export the table structures but you can ignore them on import.
Then on import, set the following parameters:
GRANTS=N
INDEXES=N
CONSTRAINTS=N
IGNORE=Y
The default for importing data is Y so you don't need to include that.
That will import data and not import table structures unless there is a new table in the database that you export from.
Another option that might help is to export by using a table list. This will eliminate the issue of export procedures.

Aperture 3 and Facebook problem

I'm encountering a weird problem with Facebook upload through Aperture 3.1.
I found a few photos and dragged them into my Facebook albums through Aperture. It says synchronising but seems to public multiple copies of the same photo to the FB album.
If I delete multiples from FB it just copies them again after a while. If I delete them from FB, as soon as I restart Aperture they publish multiple copies of the pics I dragged through originally.
Any solutions?

Although I haven't encountered this problem, please read the following thread and you may reconsider the built-in Facebook syncing:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2625405&tstart=100
Fortunately, it's easy enough to export photos from Aperture to a folder and upload manually, but a half-baked implementation shouldn't even be shown as a option.

Aperture imports, and RAW files...

After I import raw photos into Aperture when I first click on the photo and it opens in full screen, it looks brighter/best and then a second later the photo darkens colors change just a little, almost like I have an import preset assigned and it only happens when I import raw photos not JPEG's. Can someone tell me how I can make sure that I don't have some kind of preset happening, I would like to have the photo's stay the same as when i first import?

You don;t have a preset set. What you are seeing is normal behavior when importing Raw files.
What you see at first is the camera produced JPG preview imbedded in the Raw file. Aperture puts this up while it decodes the actual Raw data. This JPG has all the special settings and enhancements set on the camera and is basically the image that would be produced if you were shooting JPG.
As a rule none of the settings on the camera (apart from the basics) are applied to the Raw file though some of the newer cameras have settings that could affect the data stored in the Raw file.
This is a often asked question by those just getting into Raw and you can search the discussions here for other answers to this question.
Given the capability of today's cameras, especially the high-end ones, a lot of users have decided to abandon Raw as unnecessary if they are happy with the images the camera produces. It's all a matter of personal needs.

27 inch iMac hungs with Aperture 3 and Folder Problems

This is more a statement than a question as it seems to be normal to have problems with Apple computers.
A brand new purchased 27" iMac (less then a month ago) hangs continuously using Aperture 3 (officially purchased version).
A rebooting was always neccessary and a harddisk repair via software as well.
Unfortunately the only answer received by the Apple advisor of the Care Program was to follow the on screen instructions.
I have to say, that I'm very disappointed by the Apple aftersales service. This is my 4th iMac and all of them ended up with harddrive problems, but none after only 3 weeks.
Furthermore I noticed, that after performing the migration from my old broken iMac to this new one, information included in my agenda got lost or doubled and existing folders in Finder were copied just as an icon (can not be opened) and can not be deleted either.
Regards,

afelez,
There are loads of things you can do to optimize Aperture, including trashing old caches and preferences and rebuilding your library. Also if you have a severely fragmented hard drive (although I doubt that's the case considering the age of your system), that can impact performance.
It's also worth noting that Aperture isn't always the greatest at reporting that it's actually doing something. There are many times when Aperture actually is working, but it appears to be stuck. The way to know for sure is to check the Activity Monitor. If you see Aperture using lots of cycles, but seemingly not responding, it actually is working. Leaving it alone is the best thing to do. If you force quit, you will exacerbate the problem and end up running into the same issue again—but probably worse, as the system tries to recover.
If you're still having issues, stop by www.ApertureExpert.com and go to the Forum, and post a question with as much detail as possible about your system. Lots of very experienced Aperture users in there, plus we can dig up old articles for you to read that will offer specific solutions to try.
Good luck

Hmm.. export/import only works between portal installations at the same version level. What you need to do is to use the upgrade scripts that will take you from Portal 3.0.7 to Portal 3.0.8, which are not available yet. We hope to make these scripts available in a couple of weeks on OTN. (Yes.. I too am waiting for these scripts).

Import and export problems!

I'm new to Aperture so bare with me please, I'm using the cannon Rebel XT, I noticed ( after an update I'm thinking) that when I wanted to import from the camera the frames were randomly placed, and when I click X to close and then click import again they would be in order, I called about this and the speaker said, well it seems like you have it working, I was hoping that with a new updates this would be fixed,( like it did with contact sheet) then I wanted to export a project to a RW-CD the same thing happen when checking the CD the Image were randomly placed and very unprofessional, Can anyone help me with this? Should I reinstall the aperture program?
mac book pro Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Hi Billy,
No, don't reinstall Aperture, though do consider trashing the plist file:
user/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist
This will not break anything, but you will need to reset your preferences when you relaunch Aperture. So, note them down first.
Are the images out of order in the IMPORT viewer or after you import into a project?
If in the IMPORT viewer, then I have no clue.
If in the Project viewer,check to see whether the sort order is image date or custom or version name. Image date is usually good.
I'm not sure about the export side, as file order is (typically) seen using Finder, based on which column you wish to sort on. Does clicking the Name or Date column heading give you the desired result? Or are you seeing the order through some other means? Please explain.
Thanks,
G.

Blue screen, flickering, unresponsive mouse and desktop, problems reinstal

For a while now my Imac has been playing up, one day I turned it on and it went to a blue screen, this had never happened before and obviously as all newbies to macs I kind of freaked out but hoped it would just 'go away' but for a few months now it always goes to the blue screen before properly starting up, sometimes it will just crash at the grey apple icon with the little wheel stopping.
My mac has become very slow, opening small applications such as Skype would send it into a melt down, making the whole display look really strange, then it started flickering, grey vertical lines across the screen. Overtime this stopped and only happened occasionally, however recently after my mac has powered on, the desktop/finder would be unresponsive, the mouse would track but I could not click on ANYTHING, I'm even unable to force quit or relaunch the finder. I had to force restart the mac numerous times in the hope it would just work, however it didnt.
I decided my only option was to erase and reinstall mac os x, seriously it took me about, 10 hours to try and do this, non stop!! it would hang at 12% and then not do anything for hours, I again, had to force restart the mac, then it would say it could not be installed as the start up disk wasn't recognised, which I will add in now that for MONTHS I have not been able to select the macintosh HD as my start up disk, always says something about the bless tool being unable to select it :S
Anyway, it finally worked, the reinstalling, however it reinstalled, I logged in and then, again, the mouse or the finder became unresponsive!! I thought erasing and reinstalling would have fixed this!
Its finally working now, however I'm not sure for how long, it still has the blue screen when starting up which I hoped would also be fixed, and I am still unable to change the start up disk, I have tried resetting the PRAM, and run numerous disk utility tests which always come back saying the mac is fine.
I'm not very smart when it comes to macs and how to sort them out, I have apple care and wondered whether I should just take it in store and ask them to take a look at it, or if there is anything else I could possibly do to try and fix this myself?!
Any help please!

Hi, and welcome to the forums.
for MONTHS I have not been able to select the macintosh HD as my start up disk, always says something about the bless tool being unable to select it :S
In future, when bad things start happening, investigate. They rarely get better by themselves.

That sounds like hardware problems, most likely the internal HD. Try running this: [Apple Hardware Test: iMac (Mid 2007) and later models|http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1883]. Run the Extended tests.
and/or the (free) Rember, a heavy-duty memory tester, from: http://www.kelleycomputing.net/
If either show errors, yes, you'll need to make an appointment at the Genius Bar: http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
If not, try Verifying your internal HD, per #6 in [Formatting, Partitioning, Verifying, and Repairing Disks|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/DU.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of the +Using Snow Leopard+ forum).
Then +*Repair Permissions+* on it, per #5 there.

CD importing and syncing problems

I imported a CD into my library but everytime I try to put the music onto my phone it says "Updating File" but stops after like a second. There's also a dotted circle next to the songs but I made sure there's sufficient space on the phone and the manage music manuallly box is checked.

You need to let the matching process work on the new tracks before trying to add them to a playlist. This error indicates that the music wasn't "in the cloud" yet. The process should kick off automatically within a few minutes of importing any music but if it doesn't pull down Store > Update iTunes Match. After the process finishes you can then add the tracks to the playlist.

Photoshop cs4 and import to iphoto problem

Hi to all,
I would appreciate any help on this problem:
I process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
In photoshop cs3 I never encountered this problem.
The only way I can solve it is if i open the jpeg file in preview and save it again as jpeg. then i am able to import the new jpeg.
Any ideas how to solve this?
Thanks in advance for your help.

process a raw file through camera raw 5.1 in photoshop cs4 and then save it as a jpeg.
I then try to import the jpeg file to iphoto, but iphoto says the file is unreadable and can't import it.
That's because you're saving it inside the iPhoto Library package and trying to import from there. You must save all RAW edited files to the desktop or outside of the iPhoto Library package. iPhoto will not import any file located inside it's library package.
If you use CS4 to edit jpgs from within iPhoto the following may be of help to you:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop 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..
NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
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..
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Import from Desktop opens every folder and file on desktop?

This started yesterday after upgrading to Mavericks 10.9.5
Because my desktop is always cluttered I have a couple of folders on it where I dump everything.
As well as numerous odd items I have folders with hundreds of photos nestling inside these 2 desktop folders.
Yesterday I had a movie file on my desktop which I wanted to import into FCP X, so I opened the Import window and selected Desktop.
Instead of seeing a couple of folders and the video, it appeared that my 2 folders had been opened and all the contents including the hundreds of photos were all being displayed.
Trashing the preferences cured it but today on launching FCP X the problem has returned.
This only seems to happen when I open the Desktop . . . it's as though the Import window doesn't see any folders, just the hundreds of files inside them, as though they were all displayed on the desktop.
Any solutions?

Thanks for the suggestion Luis, but I don't think it's that.
The folders were called Desktop 1 and Desktop 2 and had been there for months with no problems.
Suspecting that the names may be a problem I changed them yesterday to Tidy 1 and Tidy 2 but this had no effect.
Trashing the preferences seemed to cure it but when I relaunched FCP X this morning the problem had returned.
I'm wondering whether something in the latest Mavericks update is causing it.
Or is there a setting somewhere that makes the contents of all the desktop folders visible automatically?
Note that it doesn't import all the files, it just lists them in the import window making it very difficult to find a particular one.
