Aperture plugins show "preparing (null) for editing-then frozen"

This happens with more than one type of plug-in: Nik and onOne. When it happens, I have to force quit Aperture3. On reopening the app, I can edit using the plug-in, but my prefs keep getting set back to a default state: Inspector on left instead of right. Browser at the bottom instead of left, as I have set them. Anyone else run into this issue?

Does it reset your prefs, if you have changed them (such as moving the Inspector to the right)? Any clues to what may be going on here. It's still happening on a clean install of Lion. Thought that would fix the problem that showed up using SL, but no.

I imported events from iphoto into aperture and aperture is showing 2 photos for each picture, one original and one edited although none of the photos from iphoto had been edited. Any idea why this has happened and what I need to do to prevent this.

I imported several events for iPhoto into Aperture3 and in Aperture it shows two photos for each photo imported, one original and one edited although none of the photos imported were edited. Why has this happened and what do I need to do to prevent this in future. I have only recently got Aperture and am trying to learn as I go along using the Focal Press guide. Thanks for any help.

A photo that was rotated in iPhoto will also show up as iPhoto edited.
This is not what I found to be the case in a recent experiment using iPhoto11- I did repeat it to be sure.

Quickly, what I found is that only the ones I did actual adjustments on brought over two images. Images that were simply rotated, had "quick fixes" or "Effects" did not bring in two images. More importantly, among the ones with adjustments that did bring in two images, the ones with the keyword "iPhoto Edited" appear to be nothing more than iPhoto's 6MB JPEG Previews. The master was a 25MB RAW image.
I don't know why some users are experiencing doubles on everything, but I recommend caution in deciding which ones to remove or you may find yourself deleting masters and keeping previews.

To answer some basic questions posted to aid people in helping me. These are
I believe it is version 11 of iphoto as i tried to update but it says it has the latest update and Mac is 2 weeks old from new.
OS is Lion.
I have just tried to look everywhere on the Mac to see where the photos might be.
There are no error messages showing on screen and it was fine before my wife did what she did. Even though we have back -ups of 95% of the pictures. I would like to know what happened so that it won't happen again.

Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing?

Is there a way to transfer Aperture files to Photoshop CS5 for editing? I recently had a crash of CS5 Bridge. It seems to have caused a problem with Aperture. So, I reinstalled both CS5 and Aperture. Before installing CS5 I uploaded NEF (Nikon RAW) files to Aperture. Now I have reinstalled CS5 I want to use it to edit the same photos from Aperture, as I know more about editing in CS5 than Aperture. I tried to export to CS5 but, Aperture would not give me that option. At least I could not find it.

You can set an external editor in the "Aperture Preferences -> Export " settings.
Just set this to CS5.
The resullt of your external edit will create a new version of your image.

My Time Capsule/Time Machine has been showing Preparing Backup for past 48 hours continuously!

My Time Capsule reported Full the other day. I now have only 26.8MB of 497.96 GB available. Since then it seems to backing up continuously. The Time machine preferences window shows "Preparing Backup" andnothing else, and it has been doing so for at least past 48 hours. Any ideas as to the problem?
Stuartyboy

Yes, the problem is the drive is full.
If you have other files or TM back from other computers, TM on your computer having issues will not be able to delete enough to get sufficient space to backup.
Read how to clean up and delete parts of backups.. http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
Not a good idea though.
Solution.
1. Buy a new bigger TC.. cheaper (Than the original 500GB at least), faster and now the smallest is 2TB.
2. Plug in a USB drive.. archive the TC.. then erase it and start a fresh set of backups.. April 1st great day to do it.
3. Open up your old TC.. remove the 500GB drive and install a 2TB (if Gen1 a 3TB might even work). Google for how to do a hard disk upgrade.
Problem.. old power supply could die the day after and then the total cost would approach 1. Better to backup, wipe the 500GB and sell it on ebay and buy a new TC with 2 or even 3TB (2TB is better value IMHO).
4. Plug in a USB drive .. formatted to HFS+ and use that as the target.
Very slow. much slower than the same drive plugged into your computer.

Problem recovering new iPhone 4, Stuck on "Preparing iphone for restore", then giving an error message

I recently bought an iPhone 4, and it worked just fine, until I tried to sync it with iTunes. Whenever I would try to sync it, it would stall somewhere in the process, and then an error message would come up eventually. It would say something along the lines of "Process timed out, Internal Harware error" or somthing like that, there were several error messages.
So then I tried to restore the phone. I did it through iTunes, and eventually the process stalled on the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part, and then it would give me an error message (4013). My phone is stuck on the connect to itunes screen. When I do connect it to iTunes it says that the phone is in recorvery mode and that and needs to be restored. So again, I try to restore it and it gets stalled in the "Preparing iPhone for restore" part. I have also recieved the 2005 error code. I have tried to fix it by unplugging all other USB's, using a different USB port, disabling firewalls ect.. I have the newest version of iTunes, and my phone is running 7.0.3 (Can't update now that the restore is necessary, and I couldn't update anyways because the same problem I had syncing it occured when I tried to update.) I have Windows XP.

Error 1 is a baseband error. If you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution of this problem. If no coverage then search the Web for Error 1. Users have reported some success with this Error 1.

Preparing ipod for restore then error 1603

I've been trying to update my ipod touch 4G for 3 weeks. I download ios 5.0.1 and then tried to restore it manually. First i got the error 3194 and 2005. I tried changing host files, putting in DFU mode, using fixrecovery and so on n then those errors disppeared. But now everything's running smoothly until 'Preparing ipod for restore'. As soon as it starts, ipod went into recovery mode and that preparation stage would last around 4 mins and error 1603 or 1604 appeared. It's been going on for a long time and i find no solution. Plus i want to know if ipod normally goes into recovery mode when restoring cuz i've put it into DFU mode already.
My current ios is 4.1 and i m running window 7. Somebody pls help me?

Did you try:
Error 1603: If you receive this error and the iOS device is not automatically placed into recovery mode, it may be necessary to do so manually. Refer to iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore for steps on placing iPhone into forced recovery mode. Also, remove the IPSW and attempt to restore again. If you do not want to remove the IPSW in the original user, try restoring in a new administrator user.
Error 1604: This error is often related to USB timing. Try changing USB ports, uninstalling and reinstalling USB ports, and other available USB troubleshooting steps (troubleshooting USB connections, device not recognized properly, computer won't recognize a FireWire or USB device). If you are using a dock, bypass it and connect directly to the white Apple USB dock connector cable. If the issue persists on a known-good computer, the device may need service.
If the issue is not resolved by USB isolation troubleshooting, and another computer is not available, try these steps to resolve the issue:
Connect the device to iTunes, confirm that the device is in Recovery Mode. If it's not in Recovery Mode, put it into Recovery Mode.
Restore and wait for error 1604.
When prompted, click OK.
Close and reopen iTunes while iPhone remains connected.
iPhone should now be recognized in Recovery Mode again.
Try to restore again.
If the steps above do not resolve the issue, try restoring using a known-good USB cable, computer, and network connection.

COGS Value showing as null for Projects

Hi All,
We have a report called Revenue Report. In this report we track the revenue and cogs value for both OM orders and Projects. We are able to see th cogs value for OM order(i.e. sales order)but not for projects. We are using OOTB out of box mapping(i.e.SDE_ORA_GLCOGS) for populating cogs value.So we have approached oracle team to address this issue. Please find the below reply from Oracle. Can somebody help me how to calculate COGS value for projects.
BIApps 7.9.6.x do not support the integration of Project and COGS out of the box. If you have cogs trx from Projects and would like to extract these trx, you can customize the SDE sql.
[OOTB sql in SDE_ORA_GLCOGS]
WHERE
MMT.TRANSACTION_TYPE_ID IN (15, 33, 10008) AND
(MMT.TRANSACTION_ACTION_ID,MTA.ACCOUNTING_LINE_TYPE ) IN
((27, 2), (1, 36), (36, 35))
MMT : MTL_MATERIAL_TRANSACTIONS
MTA : MTL_TRANSACTION_ACCOUNTS
15 = RMA Receipt (Return Material Authorization)
33 = Sales order issue (Ship Confirm external Sales Order)
10008 = COGS Recognition
(27, 2) = (Receipt into stores, Account)
(1, 36) = (Issue from stores, Deferred Cost of Goods Sold)
(36, 35) = (COGS Recognition, Cost of Goods Sold)
These are OOTB default values to extract the cogs trx for sales order etc. These are configurable. You can add/modify these values as needed. You can check the OLTP MTL module for the meaning of each values

Please do not post duplicates -- COGS Value showing up as null Projects

Aperture not showing ISO Metadata for the Canon SD800

I normally use Aperture with my Nikon D200, but someone gave me a Canon SD800 for Xmas, which is a great little point and shoot camera for times when my D200 is overkill.
I notice, however, that the ISO field in Aperture is always blank for imported SD800 images. Focal length, shutter speed, aperture, etc. are not blank.
I always used a fixed ISO, not auto, so I am curious why Aperture is not registering the ISO settings on the shots. Any thoughts?

I ran into the same problem with my PowerShot S3 IS, so I wrote a shell script that "fixes" these Exif values by backfilling them with data from the Canon MakerNote information. You'll need the EXIFutils package installed, but these scripts provide a pretty simple front-end to fill the ISO and Focal Length (35mm) Exif fields automatically (if possible). It works with my S3 IS, and will probably work for your SD800 as well. The only caveat about the Canon ISO values is that the Auto and High ISO Auto values do not store the actual ISO value chosen by the camera; so, make sure you're manually choosing your ISO value.
My shell script can be found at: http://www.sharpfocusmedia.com/Software/BA7C9878-6364-4FDE-AF72-021A89EFC7B1.htm l

Converting uncompressed footage to DV pal for editing then reconnect media

Hi all
many thanks for replys as this forum is my salvation at times
i have a clients project and they have started editing but used uncompressed footage, which makes editing impossible on my machine as playback stops as audio continues.
so my thought is to to a batch import into compressor, export out as dv-pal and i hope that i will be able to do a simple reconnect?
i tried this once with mpeg streamclip but due to the timecode 01:00:00:00(rushes) and mpegstreamclip(00:00:00:00) they would not reink.
can anyone shed some light or a good workflow on this
cheers

Please help!!! I locked my pdf for editing then signed it now cannot unlock to make changes

Using adobe acrobat professional 6.0, I made comments on a pdf then went to the security icon to lock the pdf. I accidently forgot to choose to allow commenting. I then signed the pdf.
Now when i try to edit the pdf. it tells me i must clear all signature fields, but when i right click on the signature field there is no choice to clear or delete. i think its because in the changes allowed box i left it as none. does anyone know how i can get the option to clear my signature field and re enter my password so that i can edit this pdf.

Hi,
If you have access to the private key (the digital ID) that was used to create the signature then Acrobat should let you clear it. The only exception is, if the signature field properties were set to lock on signing (this is different then the No Changes Allowed setting on the sign dialog).

Suggestions Please for a 27in monitor that shows photshop well for editing

thanks, I don't want to spend an Apple Monitor type price. But under would be fine. Appreciate it.

Hey ear41, sorry for the delay - life! There are many variables involved
when comparing 24" to 27" monitors but the basics are pixilation spread. On
my Hp2711x I see no pixilation difference but I have on others. My old 24"
was beautiful, it was also 1920X1080 resolution, it's been repurposed as a
17" laptop dock monitor. The only difference I see is SIZE and I like it.
I'm really into CS3 animation and the larger screen really helps me define
detail, and it's all in the detail. I recommend you fine a store in your
area that displays these 2 sizes side-by-side and see for yourself before
deciding to spend the monies. All I can tell you is I love my 27 and would
recommend it to anyone/everyone. Hope this helps you! Oh, and I'm jealous
too - this photobucket shot http://img.photobucket.com/*
albums/v339/Inuyasha32/WP_**000072.jpg * is awesome. I've got to look into
this for my own setup. That's way too cool!

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

Why do my raw images (fr Nikon d800e) show up bright for 1 second and then darken in Aperture?

I'm new to this site so I apologize for the long question. When I import raw files from my Nikon D800e into Aperture (3.2.3), they show up bright for one second and then darken slightly. Is this normal? It didn't happen with raw files from my Nikon D300. I have to adjust the brightness and exposure to make them bright again. thanks, Mike

One of the changes in Aperture 3 as it has evolved, is to first use the Preview generated by the camera. It waits to generate its own Preview until you actually click to display that one image. Until then the thumbnails are based upon the camera provided JPEG Preview.
In earlier versions, you never saw that, but only the initial Preview generated in Aperture. It is not because of the different camera.
Btw, if you are using 10.8.2, why have you not updated to Aperture 3.4.3?

Plugins not showing up in Images - Edit With... menu

I've installed several Aperture 2 plugins (I currently and using Aperture 2.1). Every user guide states I can find the plugins in the following menu: Images -> Edit With...
The only plugin I ever see in the is Dodge and Burn.
Like I said, I run completely through the installer for the plugins. It asks for permission, says its installing packages, writing files, writing scripts etc. When I right click on Aperture and select "Show Package Contents", I see no traces of my installed plugins in the "Plugins" folder.
Anyone know how I can resolve this issue?

I just reread your OP. The plugins should be stored in: Root (not User) >> Library >> Application Support >> Aperture >> Plugins >> Edit (or just plugins w/o the edit folder)
Are they there?
I just installed that plugin you linked to, and it worked fine. Have you restarted, repaired permissions etc? Remember that the Aperture application HAS to be in the applications folder, not in a sub-folder and not renamed to function properly.
