Aperture previews blacked out

Ever since I had to have my hard drive replaced and restored from my Time capsule Backup I have numerous Aperture previews that either appear in black, red hazy lines or incorrect preview pic. I have run the repair functions and tried to right click and either update or generate preview but nothing seems to work. Anyone have any suggestions?

Are your originals raw files and have you tried to reprocess the originals? From the main menu: Photos > Reprocess original? And tried to recreate the Thumbnails, not the previews?
Do the originals show the same corruption? Have you tried to export the originals and looked at them in the Finder?
Is your library referenced or managed, and if referenced, are the originals on the same drive as the library?

Weird video freeze / Preview Blacking out?

Hi everyone I am just wondering if any of you ever got lockups from videos? Sometimes if i just highlight a video clip (browsing in column view) and my MBP would just freeze up while generating the prview on the right side! Like complete freeze and it happened few times already really annoying. What could be the cause of this could it be video card?
Also I read comics in Preview in slideshow mode (full screen) and sometimes after a while when changing from 1 pic to the next the screen would stay black and i get the "beach ball" =P I can't do anything to get out of it even though I could still hit the POWER button and select SHUTDOWN but nothing happens after that and then I can't bring up the SHUTDOWN menu any more...could this b video card issue as well?? This is kinda like freezing but not really...had to force power off =(

it's not solved but haven't appeared recently

Q2: text boxes blacked out in preview

Using the Special Occasions template there are text boxes in two colours, a light blue and a light grey.
When I preview a book in pdf before buying or printing the light grey text boxes are all blacked out. Of course the easy solution is to delete them and do without them which I have done but they do add a little something to the template and I would keep them if I could.
Any ideas whether what I am seeing is normal? Does it happen for others? Is there anything that can fix it?

Hi again
Surely you realize that if you are doing what I suggested,
you will need to create a text caption and position it over the
previously empty fields. You may also want to ensure there is no
transition applied to them. And in addition to that, note that the
Text Entry Box may well be pausing the slide before the caption has
had a chance to display. So check your timings.
Cheers... Rick

Embedded Images Print Preview and Print Blacked Out - Adobe 9 Pro

Having an issue where images embedded into the file will view properly, but once you print or print preview the images are blacked out. This is regardless of the printer we use.
Is there a setting we are missing?

Thanks for posing this question.
Although fonts have embedding restrictions baked into the font such as preview and print, the real restrictions are to be found in a font's EULA (End User License Agreement) which may have other restrictions including payment of royalties on copies of PDF files or any other asset in which the fonts are embedded.
In the case of any and all fonts sourced from Adobe, not only do you have at least preview and print embedding privileges, but there are no restrictions or royalties required for distribution of files (i.e., PDF, EPS, eBooks, etc.) in which the Adobe fonts are embedded.
In other words, you are “good to go” with Adobe fonts. On the other hand, make no assumption about fonts sourced from other font foundries. Many do not provide such liberal terms!

Partially blacked out pic can be seen in original form in preview

Hi all.
I have a scanned document in jpg form which is blacked out partially.
When I go to its folder, the preview displays the picture in its original state but clicking on it reveals the pic with the blackened part.
I've tired Preview, Photoshop and Paintbrush to view it.
Anyone have any idea how I can remove the blacking and return it to its original state?

Preview clips blacked out in imovie/desktop prefs after 10.4 upgrade

I recently upgraded to tiger 10.4 and when i open sys prefs/desktop/iphoto folder all of my images come up black squares. The same thing happens when I open imovie and want to access photo clips. The file names appear but images are blacked out. Any idea how to fix this?

The server slowly ground to a halt overnight, so we had no choice but to format and install fresh. It was a nightmare, but thankfully, it's over.

Slideshow Error: Some pictures on burnt disc 'black out'

Hi, This is a bit of a strange one.
I have authored a disc with a slideshow that previews fine in both DvDSP's simulation mode and also when opening the Video_TS folder in DvD Player.. (I am using the 'push' transition for each picture)..
When I burn the disc and play it back in a DvD player (hardware or on the Mac) some of the pictures (not all, but always the same ones i think) push in fine, then go black and then reappear in order to slide out again.
All the JPEGs were all exported from Aperture at the same time and all fine, nothing special or crazy about them - but some of them (arbitrarily it would seem) do this black out thing while others are fine.
The first burn it started about 8 slides in (out of about 20 total), so I changed the order.. second burn - nothing changed.. same ones played up and the others were fine.
Cant work out why it would do this.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I have converted the slideshow into a track - and it seems to have stopped it but that doesn't leave me any the wiser for this or future projects.
Help appreciated.
Thanks

Iphoto 11 thumbnails partly blacked out after importing

My existing library of approximately 12K photos in iPhoto 11 appears fine with no problems. However, now I find that when I try to import new photos into it, the thumbnails as well as the imported photos are partly blacked out. The import process takes longer than it should as well. The same photos are imported correctly into Lightroom so they are not the problem. I've rebuilt the library and the thumbnails, but the problem continues. Any suggestions? Thanks

It describes how to delete and reinstall the Raw support. It has worked for some folks.

I know that you know this but straitening and cropping are supposed to black out the parts of your image that are cut off by the very nature of those operations. Assuming you are not really asking "hey why do the straiten and crop tools work like they are supposed to", some screen shots of what you are talking about would help get your question answered properly.

Monitor blacking out

I just hooked up a 20.1 Samsung SyncMaster 204b monitor. I believe it is a DVI hookup as it plugs directly into card without mac adapter. I and am having trouble with it blacking out. I was looking thru some pics in Preview and certain pics would cause it to go black. Some emails make it react the same way. The list goes on and on. I am concerned as I have a Catalog I will be working on which is Photoshop intensive and don't want to have this thing go down. I was wondering if it is the card. Looks like it only has 32mb ram...Is there a certain type of card I s/b looking for?

Possible for iPhoto to remove referenced Aperture previews that I deleted?

Maybe I've already gone down the wrong path here, but I've been using Aperture until iPhoto 09. I really want to face and geo tag my photos, so I'm sharing my Aperture previews with iPhoto.
Last night, I decided to clean out a lot of my junk shots because I shoot RAW and am running out of space. I figured iPhoto would be smart enough to auto-remove those files from the library, but... of course it did not.
Now, I have hundreds of photos scattered across multiple events that are gone. iPhoto thinks they're still there, still showing the small icon for each image. When it tries to reference the bigger version, I get the popup saying that it can't locate the original.
Any suggestions on how to clean up this mess? I know I could just delete the iPhoto library and start over, but I've already spent HOURS face tagging, and would hate to lose all of that information.
Thanks!

I find this to be a huge flaw in iphoto. I deleted a large group of original duplicate thumbnails of some pics that I had that iphoto had imported. Now iphoto faces in littered with thumbnails of missing pics. It will take hours to manually look for and then delete these entries. If you delete the original pictures on your drive, iphoto should be able to re-index and remove the missing files. It can do this if forced by holding down command option when starting and choosing to rebuild, BUT this does NOT rebuild the 'faces' lists. I had spend allot of time manually selecting a long list of multiple faces lists. Not only that, but when you manually delete these empty faces pictures you have to open each one to see if it then shows "not found" and then close it and then delete the icon to get rid of it. In the main list of pics you can at least hit the delete key on the full size pics as you scroll them. It is very tedious. Now you might say, well just delete the iphoto pics first instead of the originals, but that doesn't work, because there is no sub directory within the "faces" lists to remove in batch. It;'s just a mess to manage and do maintenance on. In short the "faces" lists do NOT have much control or sync once you set them up and tag them manually which severely limits their usefulness.

Aperture Previews NOT Showing

I uploaded an album of 6 pics earlier today and as I was going to check the images, after I click them they appear on the large preview window for about a second before dissapearing.
I checked my older albums and they are all doing the same thing. I tried to drag a few of the images to my desktop and then preview them using "Preview" and that seems fine. Back in Aperture, the images all contain their own metadata and all show in the bottom preview (scroll/folder browser), it's only when I click on a pic that it shows on the larger above it window for one second or so before "dissapearing."
As you can see one of the images is highlighted yet it doesn't show up on the large preview. Metadata is all present.
First thing I did was to update from 3.2.3 to 3.2.4
I then restarted Aperture and held down "Command" + "Option" and have done all three options in the "Aperture Library First Aid" list:
Repair permissions
Repair Database
Rebuild Database
each time checking if the issue was resolved before restarting again and rebuilding/repairingwith the next option.
I finally removed my preferences folder from "~/Library/Application Support/Aperture" as per the troubleshoot guide. Checked the program and the issue still persists. I moved that file back to it's original directory to gain back my old preferance settings.
What now, anyone have any suggestions?

Have you tried to remove the Aperture User Preferences, not the Presets/Preferences folder? If the GUI is behaving strangely, a broken "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file may be the reason.
- Quit Aperture and log out and log on again.
- In the Finder choose "Go to folder" from the "Go" menu.
- Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
- Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
- Then lauch Aperture and check again.
The "Basic Troubleshooting" support article http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805 does not mention the logon/logoff, but working with MacOS Lion it is essential to do so. Due to the changes in the Process System (Automatic Termination) you can never be sure if a program really terminates, when you make it quit, even if it looks terminated in the Dock. Only force quitting, logout, or shutdown will ensure that the program terminates. And since "force quitting" is not recommended for a database program, logoff is the next best option.

Reader 8.1.2 Blacks out wording.

Recently upgraded one of our terminal servers to Adobe Reader 8.
Since then when a user opens any pdf file it willl open in one of two ways.
First it will open in multicolored text.
Second it will open with all text Blacked out as if it was a government document being sensored.
I uninstalled all versions that were currently on that server then reinstalled version 8. This fixed the problem for a total of 5 minutes.
I uninstalled again reinstalled and it fixed the problem for almost an entire day then reverted to the above problems again. Then I uninstalled a third time and updated it to version 8.1.2 and this fixed the problem for a little over a week and has recently started the color and black out problem again.
Has anyone experienced this and if so found a way to fix this. Has never happened on any previous version.
Server is running Windows 2003 Server.
Thank you in advance for you help.

Johndes,
Beginning with OS X 10.5, some of us could not print a PDF from the Adobe Reader program. Our printers would be put on "pause" rather than printing the document.
The expectation was that when Acrobat Reader was upgraded to v. 8.1.2, that Adobe would have that anomaly fixed. The beginning of this thread starts at the point where v 8.1.2 was released, and it was recognized that there was no fix, and our printers would continue to pause rather than print.
You are correct that we could open and print PDFs from another program. I used PDFPen because Preview would also pause my printer. That doesn't change the fact that, for whatever reason, Adobe Reader was the only application which required this workaround to get a printed copy. And, that happened on every later version of OS X 10.5, including 10.5.1.
I resolved the problem with an ERASE AND INSTALL of Leopard. I don't know where the problem originated, but I can now print directly from Adobe Reader. To me, it was worth that effort.
