Aperture loses / switches root location of master files after restart.

Everytime i reboot my imac and open up aperture it sitches the root location of my masteriles to one of the othe drives mounted on the imac
Example:
Masterfile:
External Harddrive called: images/sunset/jadajada
after reboot
External Harddrive or even CDRom: data/sunset/jadajada
i can fix that with relinking all the images but this is not the way it ment to be i think.
The Masterfiles are on an external Harddrive formated FAT32 because i need to use them on a PC too.
thanks in advance.

"Sharing" to Master file after overnite is at 10%

I have successfully shared many times to master file with current setup (macbook air 10.0.8). And I did so with this same movie that is 11 gigs to 480p...this time I'm trying to do same but to 780p...and after 10 hours it's only 10% done?
Any thoughts? thanks in advance!!!

There may be some media or render file in your project that is causing problems. The fact that other projects export all right and this does not is a big hint that this is somehow specific to the project.
Here are a few things you may try:
1) Set In and Out points and export just a small section of the project. Does that progress all right? You may try different sections or export, say, about half the project then the other half in hopes of locating the problematic clip.
2) Delete render files - File->Delete Project Generated Files
3) Copy everything in the project, create a new project and paste. This can be useful because sometimes it is something in the structure of the project that goes bad; simply duplicating the project would bring along the corruption, but pasting usually works.

ITunes Can't Locate Certain Mp3 Files After 9.2 Update

I have never really had any serious issues with iTunes, but this one is giving me a bit of a headache. I purchased some content on both iTunes and Amazon.com. All of it played fine. After I updated to iTunes version 9.2, (7) of those files will not play and can't be found. The others are all perfect. I've had no issues locating other "missing files" because I knew where to look, but this time I am taken to a directory I have never seen before. All of the missing files are showing up right in a row, so they aren't scattered within my library. The artwork and listings do come up, but they are not playable. Another friend of mine had the same issue. Any ideas? I'd rather not have to repurchase these items if I don't have to.
Have a great July 4th weekend!

I downloaded i tunes 11 and go to i tunes and click on a song and it says it can not be found.
If i go to my playlist and clikck on a song it plays. I am very confussed. I realize I am not helping you with your issue but I don't think I can help anyone. I can find the I tunes music in my files and click on a song there and it plays in I tunes??? I am using windows 7

Grey flashing file after restarting my computer

My mac book air froze and i turned it off using the power button. when i tried to turn it back on the OS X utilities options where on the screen. I was fiddleing with them a little bit seeing what the options did ubt nothing seemed to get me anywhere. when i restarted it another time there is a little grey file flashing on my screen and now I'm stuck!
any suggestions?

If you see a grey folder with a question mark flashing after restarting your computer it means that it cannot find an operating system to boot from. When you were in the OS X utilites page, you either:
1. Messed with your hard drive / OS X partition.
2. Erased your OS X partition completely.
Either way, if you continue to get the flashing folder, you'll have to erase your hard drive completely and reinstall OS X using internet recovery. If you don't have backups, I'm sorry to say that all your data is gone. If you'd like me to, I can give you detailed instructions on formatting your hard drive and reinstalling OS X if you don't already know how to.

Perspective Zoom switches on automatically for wall paper after restart

Hey all,
i've got an iPad 2 running iOS 8.0.2. After setting my home screen + lock screen images with perspective zoom switched off for both and I then restart my iPad for whatever reason, both the images have automatically switched on perspective zoom and are way too zoomed in. I then have to go back to wall paper, switch off perspective zoom for both images, re-position them and then it's fine. But after every restart (or my battery died) I have to do the same thing.
Any thoughts? Thanks

Whenever i open a fullsscreen program it automatically switches to start menu even if i didnt press Windows button on keyboard
There is a button on keyboard that disables Windows key-im sure it disables it because i tried pressing Windows key while on-screen keyboard is on. here's a pic of keyboard:
http://www.teknolojer.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/Logitech_G103.jpg
red key on the top disables Windows key so you dont press it while gaming
For example:
Start cs go,wait until it loads,it goes to main menu,mouse pointer is normal windows pointer and not cs go's custom pointer that looks like a paper plane so i think it's still not on game
When i click somewhere it switches to start menu.
After that when you try to switch to game,it goes black for a second,and then switches to start menu again,waiting me to type something
This problem happens in cs go,mortal kombat,garry's mod i havent tried it in other games
I disabled logitech gaming software and it didnt work.
Keep in mind that i formatted and installed Windows again but this issue still persists
Thanks in advance

There is an issue in this build preventing some games from playing in full screen mode. We’re working to get a fix out via WU as soon as possible.

Locating actual master files

I store the masters from projects on 6 external HDs, 3 main and 3 backups.
Some files, inadvertendly, now exist only on the backups, not the primaries.
Now I'm trying to get organized and put all files from a given project on one HD.
Aside from going file by file, and using "show in finder," is there any metaview that indicates the PATH to the master (which HD it's located on), rather than which project it's in?
I can select all pics in a given project and move them, but some are "offline." When I isolate all offline pics, I must then go through them individually (it seems) in order to track them down.
At this point I've not found a metadata category that tells me where the path to the physical file. Am I correct that such Aperture doesn't show that information?
Thanks.

Thanks. I guess I could have figured that one out, but somehow that whole interface (manage referenced files) is confusing and un-Mac-like. I hope its re-worked in version 2 to be easier to figure out. But thanks for pointing it out.

Need help: Itunes cannot locate multiple missing files after renaming

All of music had strange names after transfering them to a new computer. I decided to use a program to rename all of them using a renaming program that renamed all of my music files based on their ID3 tags (Title, artist, etc).
Well now I went to Itunes and it cant find the any of the files (figured that), so I find one and Itunes asks if it should find more missing files, and hit yes, but it doesn't find any of the other newly renamed files. Is there anything I can do short of doing this for each individual file? Is there a way I can change Itune search parameters for finding missing files? Thanks

This is my standard post on the missing files thing...
This happens if the file is no longer where iTunes expects to find it. Possible causes are that you or some third party tool has moved, renamed or deleted the file, or that the drive it lives on has had a change of drive letter. It is also possible that iTunes has changed from expecting the files to be in the pre-iTunes 9 layout to post-iTunes 9 layout,or vice-versa, and so is looking in slightly the wrong place.
Select a track with an exclamation mark, use Ctrl-I to get info, then cancel when asked to try to locate the track. Look on the summary tab for the location that iTunes thinks the file should be. Now take a look around your hard drive(s). Hopefully you can locate the track in question. If a section of your library has simply been moved, or a drive letter has changed, it should be possible to reverse the actions.
I sort of assumed the third party tool wouldn't have put things in an iTunes standard form which is why I offered my scrupt at the outset. If you can explain how they are organised I might be able to tweak up the script to work for your layout too.

SQL Dev 3.0.04 cannot locate TNSNAMES.ora file after Oracle11g XE Beta

Hello,
I had Oracle Developer Suite (Reports, Forms) installed on Windows 7 32 bit along with SQL Developer 3.0.04 (latest prod. build) and everything was working just fine.
Then, I installed Oracle 11g XE Beta database and now, all the existing Connections in SQL Developer give an error "Invalid connection information specified. Verify the URL format for the specified driver."
I thought since 11gXE was the latest Oracle software installed, the Path environment variable in Windows will have the Oracle 11gXE as the leading path string. So, I cut this leading string : C:\Oracle\Oracle11gXE\product\11.1.0\db_1\bin and appended it at the very end.
This means that the Path that existed prior to the 11gXE install is now the leading and hence SQL Developer should be reading the TNSNAMES.ora file from the very first Oracle Home encountered which is for the developer suite. But this does not seem to work.
Any ideas how to fix this? How does SQL Developer determine which tnsnames file to use?
Thanks,
Manish

Hi Manish,
One place to control this is Tools|Preferences|Database|Advanced|Tnsnames Directory.
Otherwise read the documentation in Help|Table of Contents|SQL Developer Concepts and Usage|Database Connections. The third paragraph contains a description of the various alternatives.

Unable to locate any old files after putting in hard drive enclosure

Hello,
I dropped my old macbook over the weekend. When I took it the Genius Bar, the tech said the hard drive looked fine (or didn't detect any issues) and recommended using an enclosure to recovery my file.
So after getting the correct one, a rocketfish 2.5 SATA, hooking it up to my imac in attempt to recover files, i see the folder named applications, etc, and i see a user folder, and withint the user folder, a folder with my user name, but it's completely empty! the folder named Shared is also empty. Absolutely nothing this there.
I've looked in lots of places where my files, such as excel, itunes music, word docs, etc might be....but have no luck.
worse yet, it seems that now my imac isn't even reading the enclosure with the old hd!
Thoughts regarding the missing files? Am i missing something? Could someone theoretically have "copied" the files from the old hard drive if i was not looking?? Thanks in advance!!

Thanks BGreg,
I dropped my old macbook over the weekend. it accidentally fell from my bed onto hardwood floor. and when i picked it up- the screen basically looked very distorted and unrecognizable. although you could not see any physical cracks whatsoever after i turned it off/trying to reboot, when i tried to turn it back on, you could hear it try to boot up (the start up sound, no problems). but the screen look like a cross between kalediscope and a inkblot test. So i took it to the genius bar to see what could be done and how much it would cost to replace the screen, and it wasn't actually too bad ~$250+. but since it was a bit older and i have my imac anyhow, i declined the replacement. He ran some other diagnostics and didn't detect any problems with the hard drive. He said though that even with the replacement of the screen, there is no guarantee that there aren't other problems elsewhere. When I asked how i can recover the files, the tech from the genius indicated they couldn't do data/file recovery but recommended getting an enclosure instead to transfer to my imac. (OS x10.5.8).
So i went and got the correct enclosure (rocketfish), put the old hard drive from the macbook it in....I have so far only been able to have my imac to read the folders listed above once. The applications etc were there but none of my files existed. I did not have any problems with the hard drive prior to the fall. It just seems so strange that applications would be there, but not my files!
Now-my imac is not even reading the enclosue at all!
thanks again

Mavericks: Delay in opening files after restart or sleep.

Hi,
I have an Early 2003 MacBook Pro with 8GB of RAM and SSD Drive. I installed Mavericks from scratch twice and this problem persists.
After my machine goes to sleep or rebooted, when opening MACINTOSH HD, it takes about 15 seconds to show the files within that folder. That delay is really starting to annoy me and I have done a restore from factory twice and the problem persists.
Is this happening to you? How do I fix it?

Hi TBA1959
If you want to fix your problems you need to start a new Discussion.
The OP has an Early 2003 MacBook Pro. No one knows what that is.

Curious about "Recovered Files" after restart

Is there a way to find out the source of recovered files and what they mean? Just curious.
My latest were:
A folder: <msoclip>
A folder: <CardModeFiles>
Thank you.

Recovered items appear when a program that creates temporary files either crashes or does not clean up after itself properly. The Mac OS cleans the files up and puts them in this folder. This is an old apple tech note, but it is still valid:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2267.html
I think msoclip comes from some Microsoft software. I don't know about the CardModeFiles thingy. You can safely delete these files.

Here I have one problem.
The configuration limits are changing to original limits after restarting of the server
Ex: Initial Given Limit : <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>

After restart, some times the configuration is changing to initial stage
<DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
Similarly the Download limit also changing <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload> from 2500 to initial value
Can anyone help me in regardin this?

Aperture cannot locate master files when upgrading to new OS X Leopard

I have recently upgraded to Leopard from Tiger. The problem I have encountered is that when trying to locate the master files of my pictures, Aperture cannot because it thinks my files are in my hard drive located in my previous OS X and that the volume is not mounted. I cannot 'Relocate Masters for Projects' or bring my masters back online since it is the hard drive I am currently running Leopard. Does anyone else have this problem and possibly a resolution? Thank you very much.

I had a similar problem, and this how I fixed this.
Select all the files, and either select "Manage Referenced Files" from the File menu or from the contextual menu when you right click the selected files. Use the dialogue that appears to navigate to your master files [make sure that "Show only Files Not Found" is NOT selected] and reconnect your files. If you have files in a number of albums/projects/folders this may take some time.
Quit Aperture, and if a dialogue shows up saying that it is updating previews DON'T SELECT CANCEL. When you re-launch Aperture everything should be fine.

Missing master files in Aperture 2

I (like a lot of others on here!) am having trouble with my photos in Aperture 2 displaying the yellow exclamation mark and grey arrow badge.
When I go to File > Relocate Master..., I get a message saying they cannot be found.
I searched on one photo's filename through spotlight and found the images in "User"/Pictures/Merged Libray (which is the name of my iPhoto library)/Masters/ then a string of numbered subfolders, 2011/04/12/ etc.
BUT when I go back to Aperture and go to File > Manage Referenced Files in order to reconnect them (is this right??), the folder "Masters" of my iPhoto library does not appear in the bottom navigation pane of the Aperture dialog box. I can navigate to the Masters folder through Finder by asking to "Show package contents" for iPhoto, but this is not an option in the Aperture window.
Does anyone know how I could fix this? Could I perhaps copy the iPhoto "Masters" folder files, create a new folder on the desktop or some such, and ask Aperture to speak with them? That seems a bit convoluted.! :S Hope someone can help!
I am on a 15" MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.7, Aperture 2.
Cheers

A mistake I used to make that resulted in this is when I import photos, not double checking the option to save them into the Aperture library, or leave them where they already are on the hard drive. Then, I'd delete the originals, and bang, exclamation points.
If Aperture says there's no physical Master file anymore, then there's not. Back track and figure out when/where you moved the originals or if you deleted them. It's always safer to doube check an import is placing the Masters into Aperture's own library.
If they're in iPhoto now, delete them from Aperture, re-import them from iPhoto.

Sharing master files with Lightroom 4

Several years ago I used Aperture and ended up switching to LR4, but miss a few of the features of Aperture. I am trying to figure out a way of using Aperture to access some of my master files without having to duplicate my master files from LR4. It is my understanding that if I import files into Aperture that the images go into a specific Aperture Library. What I really liked about LR was that my master files could sit where ever I wanted them and the application only accessed the files rather than stowed the masters into a unique application library.

You can import images into Aperture as referenced originals, and reference them in their original location, without moving them into the aperture library. Only you must not move them, rename them, edit them in any way after importing them into Aperture, for that will break the connection between the version in Aperture and the referenced original master.
