Aperture Import Settings Panels crashes.

The Aperture Import Settings panel crashes and it show you only info from the moment
you choose a location on a server called "Pictures" (same Name as the "Pictures" folder in the user folder in my case). The choose options stays on "choose" and if you click "Import Selected" you loose from now on all the option on the import on the next start of the app and even after reboot you will never have any options on the import panel. If i choose any other folder not named "Pictures" all works fine.
It seemed to me like a bug.

Import settings panel missing

On selecting IMPORT, I frequently find that the panel at the right of the screen showing the destination and chosen import settings is completely blank. The only way I can get the panel back is to log off OS or restart - simply closing Aperture and restarting still gives a blank panel.
I was hoping the 3.1.1 update would have cure this but no luck.

Welcome to the Discussions!
Sounds like there may be an issue with your application preferences, follow the steps listed here to delete your preferences, Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics.

How do I remove an entry from the "Store Files" drop down list in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2

The dropdown list "Store Files" in the "Import Settings" section of Aperture 3.3.2 displays the history of the entries previously added to the list. Some of the entries are no longer valid and I'm trying to delete them but I can't find a way to do this. This is a screenshot. Does anyone know how to do this?

Once again - the Jive system ate my bullet points and messed up the formatting
Is the MacOS X version in your signature correct? Then you cannot be using Aperture 3.3.2?
You should not be seeing duplicate entries in the "Store Files" pop-up menu. This looks like your Aperture Preferences file is corrupted and needs fixing.
Quit Aperture (and log off and on again, if you are running MacOS X 10.7 or later)
Then reveal your User Library (from the Finder's main menu bar, the "Go" menu. Hold down the options-key until the library apears in the drop-down menu)
In the Library folder select the "Preferences folder and locate the file "~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist"
Now you can either
remove the com.apple.Aperture.plist file to the Desktop, to force Aperture to create a new one, but you will have to set again your Preferences from the "Preferences" panel,
or make a backup copy of the file and edit it, if you are an experienced programmer and have Xcode installed. To fix the drop-down list you need to edit the item "RecentReferenceFolders" and delete the redundant folder names. Enter "recent" into the search field to find it quickly. If you click an item in the list, plus/minus buttons should appear. But only try this, if you know how to edit property lists, otherwise it will be much safer to delete the faulty list and to set your preferences again from the "Preferences" panel.

ITunes Preferences: Import Settings: Custom causes crash

I am trying to change my import settings to MP3 with a custom bitrate, but every time I try to access that, it crashes. I have trashed the iTunes plist files, but that did not help. Any other suggestions? Thanks!

FWIW, you're not alone - I am hitting this bug too.
version: iTunes 10.0.1 (22)
OS: MacOS 10.6.4
machine: iMac 27", Core i7, 8GB.
I did find a workaround just now:
In my experience, when you choose "Custom..." from the "Settings:" drop list, the custom settings window flickers (as in, appears/disappears) rapidly for a couple of seconds before iTunes finally crashes and you are prompted to send a support dump to Apple.
I have found that after selecting "Custom..." and seeing the flickering custom settings window, if I very quickly hit and release Command-Tab to switch to another application (in this case Safari, with an open browser window - not sure if it makes a difference), instead of iTunes crashing, I will see iTunes bouncing away in the Dock as if it has something to say to me, and when I Command-Tab back to it, the custom settings window is sitting there, not flickering, and I have now successfully made changes to the AAC import settings in this way.
The weird thing is, I found this out a few minutes back as I was composing iTunes feedback to Apple stating how to reproduce the bug in a Safari window, and so I was carefully noting what steps I needed to take to cause the bug... after seeing the flickering custom settings window, I Command-Tab'd away from iTunes to Safari, and in doing so stumbled upon this workaround.
I hope this is of help to you,

Aperture import - folder and project structure!

Hi, everyone!
I am a long time Picasa user, and I really enjoyed the way my imported images simply put themselves into folders in the interface, all named by date automatically. I have been trying out Aperture for some time now, and I just can´t find a good way to mimic this. There is seemingly no way for Aperture to automatically name my projects by date, unless it gets to split up some dumb album/project that I have to name myself.
I guess what I am asking here is: Is there any way to make Aperture automatically name, keep and update the same structure under "Projects and Albums" as id does in Finder?
And yes.. I know I should name my projects myself with sweet relevant names, but I don´t wanna! I really want everything to be sorted by date.
My solution at the moment: Import photos using no name in projects, Aperture splits anyway, I delete project in Aperture and then I drag and drop folder from Finder. Gahh... This is heavy work for one used to simple and obedient Picasa
Thanx!

Hello,
My solution at the moment: Import photos using no name in projects, Aperture splits anyway,
How are your "Impert Preference" settings and "Import Settings"?
In the Aperture -> Preferences -> Import set the "Split Projects" Selector to the longest possible value, two weeks.
And don't drag projects from the Finder, select them in In the "Import" Panel;
make sure you have all import options visible by enabling them in the "Import Settings" drop down, then uncheck: "Automatically split Projects" in the "Aperture Library Brick"

Import settings pop up menu resize handle missing

In the import window the pop up menu for import settings has the right side blocked and there is no way to resize it.

Do you mean this menu?
What do you mean by "right side blocked"? Is it off the screen?
If that is the case, it might be a problem of corrupted user preferences.
Remove the Aperture's user preferences from the User Library as described here:
Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
Note:Your User Library is hidden by default in 10.7.x or later - to open it in a Finder window use the "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Quit Aperture, if it is running. Log off and on again.
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
But deleting the "Preferences" file will cause Aperture to forget the preferences settings. Be prepared to have to reset all options you set using the Aperture Preferences panel.

Lost my import settings pull down and menu

I've been having problems running Aperture....slow speed, not seeing previews...etc...
I was told to repair library data base by holding the opt+comm keys when opening Aperture.
I did a repair and was still having issues so I did a rebuild as a last resort.
Now when I try to import from my memory card I no longer have an import settings pull down or menu....essentially I cant import!
Any suggestions?

When menu items are missing it might be a problem of corrupted preferences files or a system wide problem.
As a test: Run Aperture from a different user account, for example the Guest account. Is the "Import" manual there?
If all menues are in a different user account, delete your User Preferences, as described in Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics (the paragraph "Delete the user preferences"). Log off and on again after doing that.
If the problem occurs in all accounts, reinstall Aperture.
And if that stll does not help, post back and tell us more - have you installed anything lately? Any other applications behaving strangely? Have you done any maintainance, cleaning running cleaner applications?

ITunes AAC import settings relative to QuickTime Pro settings

QuickTime Pro has the following two additional AAC import settings that iTunes does not have:
Quality: Faster, Fast, Normal, Better, Best
Encoding Strategy: Average Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate, Variable Bit Rate Constrained, Constant Bit Rate
iTunes does have a Use Variable Bit Rate check box, though.
Which values for these settings does iTunes use? Is it different if you have purchased QuickTime Pro? Wlll the settings in QuickTime Pro affect iTunes?
I tried converting the same WAV file in both iTunes & QuickTime Pro. I varied the settings in QuickTime Pro, and used VBR in iTunes. The closest files that I generated in QuickTime Pro used Normal Quality with either Average Bit Rate or Variable Bit Rate (though I didn't try every permutation of settings). Both files were different than the iTunes file, however.
Thanks for any info in advance,
Ross

Aperture 3.3.1 crashes after startup

My problem: Aperture 3.3.1 has been crashing consistently after application startup for about four days, It launches to the point where I can start to open projects, but crashes soon thereafter.
I've done the following based on what I've read in this forum:
• Repaired Aperture databse permissions
• Repaired Aperture database
• Rebuilt Aperture database
• Reinstalled the latest application update
• Reinstalled the OS (10.7.4) from the latest Lion Combo update
• Restored the Aperture library from an earlier Time Machine backup
• Deleted from the Photo Stream all photos taken since before the problem started (used my iPhone) and verified that Photo Stream is OFF in the application

Can anybody suggest anything else I can try? I'd really like to be able to access my photos again (almost 800GB with over 30,000 photos).

Phillip,
Aperture seems to be crashing when accessing your raw files - you do shoot raw, don't you?
• Does Aperture also crash, when working on a new library? If you import some new images for testing?
• And does Aperture crash, when working from a different account?
If you can work from a new library, but not your own, you probably still have a corrupted image in your library.
If you cannot work in your account at all, but from a different user account, I'd suggest to remove your raw presets from your user library:
Look for
      Your home folder/Library/Application Support/Aperture/Raw Decode Presets.plist
and move this file to the Desktop, then try again, if Aperture still crashes.
If it does not help, try the other presets in turn, also the Aperture preferences in the Preferences folder.
Regards,
Léonie

Has anybody had problems with the global settings panel not working?

I am on PC, Vista 64bit. updated to the new flash player and now flash player will not allow me to chage anything in the global settings panel. I need to allow third party content for editing wix sites and I cannot change any of the settings. I have uninstalled and reinstalled many times and nothing has helped.
My adobe reader also crashed and now will not load after uninstall. Very frustrating! Everythign worked fine before the update.
Any ideas?

To allow Flash Player settings, close all browser windows, then open Windows Explorer and type %APPDATA%\Adobe in the address bar. Delete the 'Flash Player' folder in there. Do the same in %APPDATA%\Macromedia
Regarding Adobe Reader, please post in that forum.

LR4 Upgrade shows LR3 Tone Settings panel - Help!

I just upgraded from LR3 to LR4 and migrated my photo catalogs to the LR4 version. As I was working with my photos, I noticed the Tone Settings panel initially loads the new LR4 version (with Whites and Blacks) but, once the program is completely loaded, it displays the LR3 Tone Settings Panel (with Hightlights and Blacks). Has anyone else run into this and how can it be fixed???
Thanks in advance!
Craig

When you upgrade your existing LR3 catalog to LR4, all images in the catalog that had previous develop adjustments (so likely most of them) will retain the 2010 Process Version, and therefore will exhibit the LR3 controls in the Basic Panel. These can be upgraded to PV2012 (and thus to the new Basic Panel controls) as indicated by Michael.
New images imported into the LR4 catalog will by default get PV2012, thus you'll see the new controls from the outset. On such images you can, if needed, revert back to PV2010 by selecting the option in the Camera Calibratiion panel.

We have a new iPod Classic and would like some help in choosing "Import Settings" (under Peferences) when loading the iPod from the Mac. We want to be sure that we can maintain a constant sound level. Used with Bose sound dock. OS 10.6.8 iTunes 10.6.1.

Using an iPod Classic on a Bose sound dock....when loading the iPod from the Mac, what "Import Settings" (under iTune "Preferences"), should be used to maintain a constant sound level when playing music? Mac OS 10.6.8, iTunes 10.6.1.
There are many Import Settings available and it is somewhat confusing. Any suggestions?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Playback. Tick "Sound Check."

Can't Left Click in Flash Player Settings Panel - HELP PLEASE

Hi and thanks for taking the time to read this. Believe me it is a fraction of the time I have wasted trying to resolve this issue.
Basic problem is:
I am trying to stream to Ustream but since downloading AFP11 for my Windows PC when I open the Flash Player Settings panel i can't left click on anything. It is set to deny but I can't click allow, or close or any of the icons.
Right click does work.
I have followed countless instructions in other forums from other posts that have encountered the problem on Mac and older versions of AFP but as yet none of the solutions have proven succesul.
I have tried all of the following but nothing has resolved the problem.
1. Uninstall and reinstall Adobe Flash Player (although this is impossible using Google Chrome) and restart computer.
2. Unistall flash and install older version. (made no difference on Google Chrome and on IE8 had no flash whatsoever).
5. Uninstall older AFP and reinstall AFP11.
4. Uninstall Google Chrome and restart computer.
5. Uninstall QuickTime (I got this off http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f10/flash-player-not-working-properly-please-help-1 61552.html) and restart computer
6. Last resort use keyboard shortcuts such as tab, enter and ctrl+arrows. This either didn't highlight the panel at all or if it did I still couln't select allow, or close the panel itself so was no help either.
So now I'm back to square one.
Now here's a really bizarre thing... I am using a shared laptop computer and if I use my colleagues profile where she hasn't updated her AFP to Adobe Flash Player 11 the settings panel is responding just fine. IT'S THE SAME PC!
I know I am alone with this problem but someone out there has an answer. If you can help please let me know how to fix this problem where I can't left click in the Adobe Flash Player settings panel.and I will be eternily grateful.
many thanks
nik

OK the amount I hate myself right now is more than a fat guy's self loathing for raiding the fridge at 2am for Pizza but less than an armed robber who's accidentally shot a pregnant woman in the stomach during a shootout. but not much less.
So after I had miraculously got the Flash Player Setting Panel to work again, (after deleting QuickTime and leaving the window open for abut an hour it just started working again) I then got enticed into downloading the ustream producer software.
While downloading it informed me that it would only work with QuickTime.
Stupidly and Optimistically hoping it would remove the need to use flash player altogether I downloaded and installed both.
I then discovered to my horror that Ustream producer is not a patch on Vidbalster and that it was not capable of delivering the same level of broadcast.
I then opened the flash player settings panel on ustream and... the problem has returned!
This means I am 99% sure that QuickTime IS the cause of the problem so I have uninstalled QT off the PC. I have also uninstalled Ustream Producer.
The thing is though, now no matter how many times I restart, or uninstall and reinstall Adobe, or Google Chrome, I am once again UNABLE TO LEFT CLICK IN THE FLASH PLAYER SETTINGS PANEL. AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!
What did I do? I fixed it and f***ing broke it again!
Now it properly will not come back to life! the problem is not solved and i urgently need help.
Why does Adobe Flash Player Settings Panel and Apple QuickTime hate each other so much that they've got to ruin my life?
Help forum PLEASE!
Regards,
nik

Can no longer change bit rate in AAC custom import settings

I've been re-ripping all my CDs at the new higher bit rate. My import settings were AAC Encoder -- custom, originally set to 256 kbps, VBR, and auto for the other two settings. However, some CDs I wanted at a lower setting, so I would go change the bit rate to either 192 or 224 (just so I'd have more room on my ipod) and there wouldn't be a problem. But now it's stuck -- the pop-up box no longer opens when I choose import settings, AAC Encoder, Custom, so I can't change the bit rate or anything else, and it's stuck on 224 kbps. I can still change bit rate and other settings in the custom menus for MP3, WAV, etc., just not AAC. A repair install of iTunes did not fix the problem.

Hi, Ed. I am running iTunes 9.0.3.15. When I click custom, the settings description in the details box display what they were before this thing happened = 112 kbps (mono)/224 kbps (stereo), VBR, optimized for MMX/SSE2. The pop-up dialogue box that used to appear (where you could choose the specific bit rate from the drop down menu) does not appear at all.
However, when I choose anything other than AAC Encoder, and then pick custom, the pop-up box appears and I can choose the bit rate and adjust the other settings as usual. It's just not happening for AAC Encoder anymore. Since the total un-install (following Apple's specified order) and reinstall didn't work, I'm baffled how to fix this .... (If it makes a difference, I changed the bit rate in the custom box while a CD was being burned...Apparently that was stupid, but I had done it previously without incident.) Thanks.
