Aperture keeps going haywire!

Hi all, hope you can help.....
I am using Aperture 2.1.4 on a 24" iMac 2.16 GHz intel core duo & 3 GB RAM. When editing pics, my machine is running very slowly (no other apps open at the time) and I too often get frozen screen and nonsense images. It doesn't affect the file (importing in JPEG large from Canon 7D) can anyone help me?????
example here
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pi...1&id=692746780

I updated to 10.6.4 today (ignore machine profile below).
My machine was nearly hanging (disk constantly thrashing and so slow I'd have to power-cycle to recover) when editing some 12MP images in full-screen mode with lots of brush masks; I went back to some of those problematic files and they can be edited now without hanging the machine. But - I could be wrong - editing those complicated files seems much slower than before, with VERY long rendering/redraw times and my CPU and graphics fans maxxing out. Haven't had a chance to profile Aperture's 10.6.4 performance on "normal" files.

Where is your vault stored? Is it on a drive with the correct formatting - MacOS Extended (Journaled)?

HT1515 why does my airport express keep going offline?

i use airport for air play but it keeps going into flashing amber light about every week. why?

I found on some non-Apple tech sites some interesting info. One guy was having the same exact issues and wrote a script to see what was going on between the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses. It appears that the two devices were having security verification issues and that is why the Airport Expresses get getting knocked offline. In other words, when they talk with each other they fail the security verification and the Airport Expresses go haywire.
So the solution is to turn off the security on both the Airport base station and the Airport Expresses through the Airport Utility. Then, on the Airport base station you check the option to create a closed network. In other words, your wi-fi network is now unprotected but it is not broadcasting to anyone that it is there. From then on, you will have to choose "other" on your laptops/iPads/iPhones/etc and type in your wi-fi network's name rather than just choosing your wi-fi network from a list of options.
I did this a few weeks back and I have had zero issues since the very moment I did the above steps. The network is 100% reliable and faster. No more rebooting. Is it a tad bit unprotected? Yes, but no one knows the network is there. If someone is smart enough to be looking for non-broadcasting wi-fi networks and finding yours, then they are sophisticated enough to defeat your normal security protocols anyway. Maybe if Apple ever decides to fix this problem, which appears they might not be interested in doing, then you could go back to normal security protocols. But until then, this works wonderfully. Give it a try and see.

Dual 2.7 Ghz PowerPC G5 Keeps going to sleep

My Dual 2.7 PowerMac G5 keeps going to sleep - particularly when working in power hungry programmes such as Aperture. In fact it is such a problem now that I really can't use Aperture since the machine goes to sleep every minute or so. (I can always wake it up by pushing the space bar.)
I've looked in Console and this is what it tells me:

Hi The Hatter! Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my query. Unfortunately I've tried all your suggestions (apart from reinstalling 10.4.9) and nothing has worked.
Reset the PMU; zap pram/nvram from cold start; or,
from Open Firmware.
I zapped the PRAM but to no avail.
Never let drives sleep?
Yes this was set on 'Never let drives sleep' anyway.
Did you add any drives? Seagate?
I have a factory-added drive; the computer arrived from Apple with 2 400 Gb Hitachi HDS724040KLSA80 hard drives
any PCI cards?
None
Does it happen in SAFE MODE?
Yes it does.
Have you got any background tasks 3rd party to
monitor the system?
There's NetBarrier Monitor and VirusBarrier Monitor
What do you see when you boot in Verbose mode also?
What am I looking for here? The screen fills with all sorts of things but I have no idea what they mean!
Did you "use" your Mac when you updated to 10.4.9?
did you use the combo updater? might even want to
rerun that - after doing the old routine of "backup,
repair, run Disk Warrior" first. And run the update
in Safe Mode just to reduce background programs.
The problem was occurring in 10.4.8 as well - and may have even been happening before that, but has become worse in 10.4.9

Messages marked as "not spam" keep going to spam folder

I receive messages in my spam folder which are not spam. I keep marking them as not spam, but subsequent messages keep going to spam. How do I stop this.

If the email address in question in in your address book you need to look outside of Thunderbird for your problem, like the spam filter on your anti virus program. or is that internet security suite.

I purchased a blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code for a digital copy. I redeemed the code on iTunes but the download has been continuing for 2 weeks now and it never finishes! The time just keeps going up. Never an issue in the past.

I purchased the blu-ray of The Hunger Games and it came with a code to redeem for a digital copy. I redeemed the code in iTunes and the movie downloaded fine, but the "EXTRAS" have been downloading for 2 weeks! Everytime I launch iTunes it starts the download again and the counter keeps going UP, at one point it said it would take 3 weeks. I have paused and restarted the download, I have deleted the download, nothing works to finish or stop this download! Does anyone have a clue what's up?

ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

If the amount of the purchase is close to $21.07, then you need to take into account taxes may be added.
If you go beyond the credit from a gift card the balance will be billed to your credit card account.

I know I've heard that iPads/iPhones can't get viruses but is it possible that they can? While using my iPad, it keeps going in and out of apps. On Facebook, status and profiles keep getting clicked and it keeps zooming in and out. Can anyone help

I Have an iPad mini, iOS 8.1. When I'm on my iPad, it keeps going in and out of random apps. Going to settings is the worse. As soon as I click settings and it opens,it starts clicking different things and tries turning on and off settings! In Facebook, profiles and status get clicked. The screen zooms in and out multiple times. It reminds me of when you call the help desk for a computer or a computer at work and they gain access and move around clicking and you're doing nothing. Basically things are being clicked and I'm not doing it.....can anyone help?

At this point, I would go for reset to its factory default condition, using the iTunes program to get a clean system install. That way you'll clean everything out and just have it set up the way it would come from the factory. You'll need to do your backup (on the iTunes program too) and be sure you understand which stuff will be saved and which will not (from the links below). Also turn off any anti-virus program you may have on your desktop. Then when you reset it to the factory default condition, don't restore your backup just yet ... until you check it out without your data put back on it. Verify its operation first, to make sure that you know it's okay. Hopefully everything is okay at that point, otherwise you'll have to take it into Apple to check it out for any hardware failure.

I have been noticing that when using the computer the mouse keeps going in places where I really do not want and just now select the sentence without I have done anything. Sometimes goes to places like bookmark or open tabs in website when I am reading a page.
Also I have noticed opened windows that I have not opened.
I have verified the sharing folder and also the remote access but it not let me turn it off.
Also I have add a password to my computer and even using the same one it looks like is not working.
The I photo stopped working, Mac Mail does not let me add rules (this is from one day to the other)
The computer is mine, the internet I use is payed by me with a password. I did not give permission to anyone to use my computer or share my files.
In system preferences in the sharing folder is showing everyone and staff.
My computer is private I do not own a company and I do not have a network set up in my house.
I had my photos removed from my computer and even after trying to reinstall I photo and fix the Mac Mail is not working.
I am receiving emails saying that I have sent emails to people that I do not know and including in a time where I am working and not using the computer.
Any suggestions in how to fix this issue?
I really appreciate.

With the multitude of issues you have I would take it to an Apple store or AASP and have them sort it out. Then I would sign up for Apple camp or one on one.

My ipod 5th gen ios 7.0.6 crashed and keeps going from the apple logo, going to a black screen, back to the apple logo, then back to the black screen and so on. Furthermore, my laptop doesn't recognise that the iPod is connected. What do I do?
Please help me out as this is very irritating. This has been happening for the last 20-30 minutes. It had roughly half battery left.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HP 8500A Plus - Keeps going offline.

An old problem but I still can't see a realistic solution on the net.
Keeps going offline - sometimes in the middle of a print run.
Turning Print Spooler off and on always cures it for a short while but this is inconvenient.
'Use Offilne' is NOT ticked. The offline message at the top of the outstanding documents list seeems to be different from and additional to the offline notice when offline is ticked.
I have given printer a fixed IP and told the router that this is a fixed IP. Checked they are the same.
When it is 'offline' it still has the correct IP address. And the router says it is connected.
This started several weeks ago. Since then I have completey changed the router and IP address range - for another reason. But its just the same problem.
Anyone solved this problem?
PS I do have a couple of non HP inks installed. Is this HP's revenge?

Hi lezzy,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you have been dealing with the 'printer offline' problem for a while and have exhausted all troubleshooting. Have you tried plugging in a USB to see if this makes a difference?
I would like you to run the HP Print and Scan Doctor- It was designed by HP to provide users with the troubleshooting and problem solving features needed to resolve many common problems experienced with HP print and scan products connected to Windows-based computers.
Does the PSDR find any errors, any software or drivers missing? Please let me know the outcome, I will watch for your reply.
Thanks,

After upgrading to Mavericks, the free space on my SSD keeps going down for no apparent reason

I downloaded Mavericks and installed it on my macbookpro ( with Crucial M4 SSD) and the free space on my ssd keeps going down for no reason. I reinstalled it from a bootable flashdrive, and the free space went from 20G to 60. Since then it keeps going down and I am now on 48G. I cannot find the source of the drain. Anyone else with the same problem?

I have not tested the solution suggested in the article linked above.
But hope it helps.

I have no bar which shows the words import. How can I get my favorites moved over or do i have to just keep going back to explorer to get them. I did the auto set up to move them but cant find them on any tool bar

i downloaded firefox and said to import my favorites and stuff from my qwest homepage and can't find them . I have no tool box on any of my pages that I can drop down that says import. not on my old homepage or the firefox page. Help, i dont want to have to keep going back and forth

You can usually find the imported IE Favorites in a folder ("From Internet Explorer") at the bottom of the Bookmarks Menu folder (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks).
If you can't find them in the "From Internet Explorer" folder then try this:
* Export the favorites in IE to an HTML file (bookmarks.html): File > Import and Export
* Import the HTML file in Firefox: Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import HTML: From File
