Aperture refuses to work!

Help please! I use Aperture 2 on my imac without any problems I then tried installing it on my old Powerbook and it was much too slow. I then bought a 13" MacBook pro a few days ago and tried to install. It opens, but then refuses to get past the "preview" stage. No images come up. I notice that the software says "needs a 15" or 17""macbook pro, but I know others who do use the 13". I have the original Aperture disc and serial number. Any ideas? How do I uninstall and start again? Thanks for anyone who can help. ChrisW-J

Aperture will work on a 13" MacBook Pro. Have you run Software Update to ensure you have the latest version of Aperture 2? I suspect if you installed Aperture 2.0.0 off the DVD without updating it might have problems... run Software Update and ensure it's 2.1.4 (note, that Aperture 3 runs a lot better on 10.6 than Aperture 2 did).

Help, I had aperture open and working on a image and did not have a battery in and bumped the power off. As a result it will not open my master, it is locked. when I try to open that Library it says There was an error opening the database for the library. I have tried every thing. I updated the other libr but now it will not open the main to update. What do I do?

Try starting Aperture with the command and option keys held down. You'll get 3 options.
Try each, starting at the top, in order, checking after each to see if it fixes the issue.

ICal refuses to work

After updating to Lion 10.7.5, iCal refuses to work: won't change day/week/month, no previously entered appointments shown, can't add any new ones either. Now what? Of course, I have no backup (didn't think I needed to with iCloud). Aim is 1) to restore function, then 2) populate back from iPod Touch Any help appreciated.

I'll just address the backup issue, iCloud is NOT a backup system, you still need one.

What exactly means "refuses"?
This is the message which comes up if I try to update (from the Help menu) or re-install my licenced copies of CS6 or Photoshop Elements 9.
“We've encountered the following issues
Installer failed to initialize.Please download Adobe Support Advisor to detect the problem”
Get Adobe Support Advisor”
OR
on trying to open PhotoshopCS6 I get this message:-
“Adobe Application Manager required to start your trial, is missing or damaged.
Please download a new copy of Adobe Application Manager from http://www.adobe.com/go/applicationmanager_uk”
When I follow these instructions and try and start up/install or update Photoshop CS6 I get the same messages all over again. This has been going on since Tuesday afternoon and I am anxiuous to resolve the problem. For several years now all this has worked perfectly through your website and I cannot understand what has changed. Once I cancel these messages the products themselves seem to function OK. When I attempt to use Adobe Update Manager I get the same messages as above. You will see that my products are properly licensed and up to date. Have you any solution?

Panasonic Lumex DMC-LX1 raw conversion for Aperture doesn't work.

I've seen many people having raw conversion problems. Direct import of Lumex raw files to Aperture does not work.
Adobe DNG conversion of raw to dng does not work.
I'm running on Photoshop CS.
Perhaps my DNG conversion settings aren't right? Tell me what they should be.
Do I have to go as far as changing the raw.plist or whatever it's called.
Would CS2 with the Raw conversion Plug-in work instead?

Joe,
good to see that you are reading these posts. I am sure that many users whose cameras' raw files are currently not supported by Aperture would love to help out in any way they can.
However, as we are living in a converging world, why doesn't Apple talk with Adobe and share some of the information used for RAW conversion? I'm thinking dcraw which (according to a note in its source code*) is using data provided by Adobe... and that same data is also contained in the Raw.plist.
Thus, if Adobe knows something and shares it with dcraw, and Apple uses some of the dcraw code (at least the m2 matrices found in Raw.plist are equal to the dcraw ones), why can't you guys all share the same information, and thus speed up RAW support for all cameras?
Just a thought.
Kindest regards,
Karl

Help! Aperture won't work with Snow Leopard...

I know you will all probably laugh at me because I have just upgraded to Snow Leopard. The problem is that nobody told me my Aperture wouldn't work anymore! I can't even open it to retrieve my photos...(btw, this is why I was hesitant to upgrade...but I had to because I got the iphone 5 which wouldn't sync with my itunes version and that wouldn't update unless I went to snow leopard...and so on....).
So, the problem is that I need Aperture version 2.0. so I can update that to 2.1.4 and be compatible with Snow Leopard. I have 1.5.6 and kept it that way because it was working for me and I just basically use Aperture as a photo storage system. I can't find 2.0 anywhere. I can't figure out how to uninstall snow leopard either. I need my photos back asap.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance,
Debi

One more question, debi.
Does your Aperture icon show a circular ring like the ghostbusters? Like below for my CCC?
And is the "Kind" listed as "Application (PowerPC)" when you use "Get Info ⌘I)? That would indicate that your current Aperture version is still a PowerPC application. Then you can still make it run on Snow Leopard. You have to make sure that your Snow Leopard installation includes the Rosetta environment.
Do you have a Snow Leopard install disk? Look into the "Optional Installs" folder on this disk and open the "Optional Installs" package. Proceed as described in the second part of this
article:
http://www.macworld.com/article/1167117/reinstalling_rosetta.html
If your Aperture 2 version is still a PoerPC app, installing Rosetta should enable you to run the aperture 2 installer from your installation disk and then upgrade to Aperture 2.1.4.

I restored my ipod touch, and now the touch screen refuses to work

my ipod touch recently said it needed activation, although I've been using it for 18 months now. When I connected to Itunes, it said it could not read the contents of the Ipod, although it did read the model number and other details. It said to restore it to the factory settings, which I did. after restore, the touch screen refused to work. after 24, it began working, but then said it needed activation again. Hook up to Itunes, same song and dance. It is frozen again. Has anyone else had t

You should take it to the nearest apple store to let them restore it and activate it. iTunes wouldn't dare restore my ipod touch everytime i tried to restore always an error. So the next day i took it to apple and they fixed it.

Thread refuses to work

Ok, this is the weirdest thing ever happened to me ever since i started working with cellphone programming.
Lately, one of my thread refuses to activate. I have this thread that communicates with a thermal printer to print something right. Well, i have been working developing the interpretative code for it (since the SDK won't do any good for my needs) for about 4 weeks and been working perfectly. But then i tried to implement it on my application i was working on and it refused to work. Well, i though something was wrong with my code so i went back to my test program and tried to invoke de print thread and now it also refuses to work, but i noticed on the device log (i'm developing on blackberry) a IllegalMonitorStateException was thrown in the wait() method of my thread.
My thread is running all the time expecting for me to call it to work so it has this structure
class printThread implements Thread
    private boolean sleep = true;
    printThread(){} // Constructor
    public void run()
         while(sleep)
             try
                 wait();
             catch(InterruptedException e){}
             if(sleep)
                // Do the work when notifyed
    public void work()
         notify();
}Thats my basic thread structure, and been working like a charm for ages already (my application has 4 thread running backward, one of it works every 5 minutes in the background) but then i added the print thread and this problem started to appear. then i went back to my test program for the printer and the problem followed me there.
What might this be causing the problem? I could understand this problem happening in my application with the other 4 threads working there, but on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!

hm it looks like you lost synchronized keyword while making changes in the code.
IllegalMonitorStateException is definitely a WYSIWYC (What You See Is What You Coded). I mean, this exception is indeed the correct behavior for the code you posted.
Consider changing *while(sleep){...}* to something like *synchronized(this){while(sleep){...}}* - that will probably make exception go away, but...
... on the test program there's only 1 thread!!!...but given above, after fixing the exception you can get into the next problem - your application will hang.
You know, it takes two to tango. While one thread waits, there should be another one to notify.
If there's only one thread waiting, it can wait forever. I won't guarantee that this is your case though because from your explanation it is not clear if there's indeed only one thread.
I would also recommend you to consider studying Sun's [online tutorial on concurrency|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/concurrency/]. +"...This lesson introduces the platform's basic concurrency support..."+ - studying it can help fix problems faster than waiting for the answer at the forum. :)

I have a macbookpro. when I connect any camera to the mac it does not show as a device. How do I load my pictures to either iPhoto or Aperture? It worked before but just stopped working. Any suggestions?

I have a macbookpro. I use Aperture and Iphoto. When I connect any camera to the Mac it does not open it as a device in Iphoto, Aperture or in Finder. It use to work but just stopped. Any sugestions?

Here is the full story. It may be long so please bear with me. I take a lot of pictures and movies. Since I have over 30,000 pictures I decided to place the Iphoto library on an external drive to save space on my internal drive since ot was getting very full. After I did that it worked fine for a while. Then one day I could not open the Iphoto library. Since I was overseas at the time I brought it to the IStudio ( not an Istore) overseas. They said to rebuild the library and they would do that for me. It took all day since I had so many pictures. When they called me and told me it was ready, I went to pick it up. They started to show me the new library. It crashed again. Not knowing how to fix this at the ISudio, they installed Aperture and imported the Iphoto library. This worked fine for a short time.When back in the states, it crashed again just like Iphoto. I took it to the IStore. They did not know why the overseas Istudio did what they did what they did and rebuilt my aperture library. Again it worked fine. Now that I am overseas again. It crashed again. However, I concluded that the reason for these crashes is becuase I have the file on an external drive that derives its power from the Mac and not by itself. When I use it and stop for a while the MAC will go to sleep and this cuases the external drive to shut down. This then causes the library to have inconsistancies. Therefore, when it happened this time I tried to repair the library and after 36 hours it would close down Aperture. Therefore I decided to rebuild the library. That did not work either. So I tried opening the Aperture library with Iphoto. That seemed like it was going to work but after importing half of the 30,000 plus pictures. I photo shut down. I then made a new aperture libary and erged the old library with it. This worked. I now have an aperture library that works. However, when I plug my camera into the MAC nothing happens. The camera does not show up in devices in either Aperture, I photo nor in Finder. The USB port and cord I use works fine becuase I can read my external hard drives fine. I checked as SIG suggested in this thread and everything is set to open aperture when the camera is connected.
I have the newest OS version 10. 7. 2 and the computer frequently updates all my programs. I have not installed any ne software lately. The problem happens both if I am on battery or plugged in. Just before I came overseas the IStore replaced the Battery. I can go back to the IStudio here overseas but the last time I was there and told them about the problem ( I did not have my computer with me) they did not impress me with their wisdom. I will be back in that city in a month and can go there if need be. Thanks for all the help so far. God bless.

Volume adjust refuses to work unless FN is pressed

I didn't start having this problem until a week or so ago. My volume refuses to work unless FN is pressed while f9 or f10 is as well. That or I have to open the function key app and then it will work without the key.
I have windows 8 and my model is the satellite s855-s5378

Try checking the UEFI settings for a function key mode setting. Most models have a toggle that allows you to choose wheter you want to have to hold down the FN key to access the "special" keys or hold down the FN key to access the F# keys. Try switching it.

Curve 9300 Browser refuses to work?!

Hi guys!
Yet another fault with my BlackBerry 9300, the browser refuses to work, I have full 3G coverage and I am connected to my home wifi with an excellent connection, yet my Blackberry just refuses to connect to any websites, all I get is a message saying Unable to connect to server, have had the problem for a few days, tried the usual battery pull, turned of my network coverage and tried running off my wifi and vice versa yet ive had no luck...
Would be so grateful if someone had a solution, cos i really dont have the time or the energy to contact my network provider..
Thanks

Hi there!
I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
2) Delete and Resend Service Books
KB05000Delete the service book for the BlackBerry Internet Service email account from the BlackBerry smartphone
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
3) Batt Pull Reboot
Anytime random strange behavior or sluggishness creeps in, the first thing to do is a battery pop reboot. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should contact your wireless service provider for formal support.
Good luck!
