Aperture opens but I keep getting a pinwheel

Recently as early as yesterday I started having trouble when I open Aperture. The program opens but I get a pinwheel preventing me from doing anything in the program. I am at Version 3.2.2 build 4. I have tried restoring and even going back to the install disk originally used. I do not have this problem with other programs. I am using an early 2008 IMAC with Intel processor MAC OS X Version 10.7.2. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks.

I also went looking for the plist file and can't find one.
You need to remove the plist file from
    Your Home Folder -> Library -> Preferences -> com.apple.Aperture.plist
But the Aperture preferences are inside your user library, and in OS Lion the Libraries are hidden files by default.
To open them in the Finder, use the Finder "Go" menu.
To show you User Library:
     Finder menu -> Go
hold down the opt-key, till the Library appears in the drop down menu, select it
To show the System Library (if you ever need it) :
     Finder menu -> Go -> Go to Folder
enter      /Library        press return.
If removing the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" doesn't help proceed with the other options in the Trouble shooting Basics and rebuild the Aperture Library.
Regards
Léonie
P.S: I put an Automator workflow "MoveAperturePreferenceToDesktop.workflow", to remove the plist from the user library on my web page: http://dreschler-fischer.de/FAQ/Scripts_Services/Entries/2012/1/16_Remove_Apertu re_Preferences.html

I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

I have the latest version of Pages 5.2 but I keep getting a message saying I must download the newest version to open my file, has anyone else had this problem?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Trying to open the download for CS6 but I keep getting a "problem has occurred" message and an error code.

I have downloaded both the 4.5G Adobe Creative Suite 6 package and the 1MB .exe unloader but when I try to open them I keep getting a "problem has occurred while extracting some files," message. That is followed by a "problem has occurred while extracting the archive" message. The error code received is "Exception EAccessViolation in module DesignWebPremium_CS6_LS16(1).exe at 0001B836" This is followed a series of addresses. The extractor will not work when running as administrator either. I do not know what to do. I am using a Windows 8.1 PC, any help?

Click here and follow the instructions. You may need to completely remove and reinstall iTunes and all related components; this won't normally affect its library, but that should be backed up anyway.

The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message

Hello,
Please help me figure this out. I'm very unhappy at the moment. I'm fustrated and don't have any idea how to revert to the original version before the update was done on iMovie 10. I NEVER hated APPLE until NOW!! I love APPLE products and apps so please help me stay in that mindset. So I worked on some movie projects when I got my macbook pro 6 months ago. I update reguarly. I saw the update prompt and honestly, I did not think I would have ANY issuess with opening my previous files that I created only a few months ago with this updated version.The new updated version of iMovie 10 won't let me open my previous files I created before the update today. I have a wedding that I'm trying to finish and deliver and now I can't because that file version won't open. I keep getting an error message and the iMovie app closes. Last night I saw the file and tried to open it but no luck. Error message came up again. I reboot and turned off my laptop for the evening and tried again just now but nothing!! I need that video. My job depends on it! I worked so hard on this wedding video and now it's lost and won't open. I work another job and don't have much time. I really don't want to start all over again. Please help me. Thanks so much for your assistance.

I also have Jolly's problem. I found the iMovie 9.0.9 folder and tried to launch the older version of iMove. It would not launch. I removed all of the iMovie preferences from the Preferences folder, removed iMove 10 from the applications folder, and restarted my Mac. iMove 9.0.9 still won't launch and I can't access my videos created with the older version of iMovie. Is there a way to uninstall iMovie 10 and reinstall iMovie 9.0.9?

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message that my device or computer is unable to be verify. How do I verify it. However, when I use itunes, I have no problems in logging onto my account with the same apple ID

I'm trying to log onto app store, but I keep getting a message the my device or computer is unable to be verified. How do I verify it when the app store will not allow me to log onto the account even when I use my Apple ID, which works with no problem on itunes. What is up and how do I correct it now!

Check your mac's Serial Number.
Some people have problems with missing serial numbers on their Macs and that's the message you get when this happens.
Click on the Apple at the top left of the screen, open "About this Mac" and click on "More Info". You should see a list with information about your Macbook Air. Check that on the Serial Number field you have your Mac's Serial. If you have "SystemSerial#" written instead then that's your problem.
You can re-enter your serial number if you have a USB CD drive, it's not very straightforward but I can walk you through it if you need it.

I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages' or any other apps. I keep getting an "error" and it says credit card processing is temporarily unavailable......help

Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
Quit the App Store if it's open.
Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type this exactly as you see it here:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
Click Go
Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference...
