Aperture runs but does nothing when importing, updating vault, emptying trash
I'm new to Aperture but experienced with similar applications (I've made the move from PC to Mac). I downloaded the latest version 3.2.2 on to my new 27" iMac, 2.7Ghz, Lion, 4Gbyte RAM, terabyte HD etc (standard config). I very much like Aperture, apart from its regular crashes/doing nothing episodes. I have experienced troubles in three areas:
- See screenshot below. Aperture appears to do nothing while taking up all system resources while importing 2k files. The log says nothing has been imported but the entire Mac slows down. Other folders with more files are OK others not. It al appears a bit random. I am importing from folders copied to the local HD, using the option 'folders/project'. My photo library is 16k images (all jpg) stored in regular folders.
- when deleting many files in Aperture trash, the same spinning wheel as importing again with nothing happening.
- when updating the vault, same as above 2, spinning wheel nothing else.
In all three cases Aperture seems still to be running, but I always have to finally force quit. Upon re-boot, all seems to work until the next issue is found!
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
Hello Gary,
That is not much to go on. Try to narrow down the problem by a few simple tests:
to find out, if your library is corrupted in some way, start aperture with a new, empty library
File -> Switch to library -> other/new
and see, if Aperture is running without problems on a different library.
If that should be the case, try to repair your library.
If Aperture does not run from a different library, try to launch it from a different account. If that succeeds, thrash your Preference,
If all fails, reinstall Aperture.
The trouble shooting measures are described here:

Good luck

I am trying to sign into icloud on my pc. It will let me enter my username and password but does nothing when I click the arrow to sign in. Also, I can't select the "keep me signed in" box. When I click on either it does nothing.
I would suggest to restore Apple TV again to factory settings.

Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem, but helps in troubleshooting.

I am the administrator of the PC and logged on as such. Do not have a master password set up for Firefox security.
Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. <br />
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' <br />
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. <br />
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. <br />

I have a new hp tower running windows 8.1 and have been trying to install the adobe reader. The installer downloads (1meg) and I choose to run it but it just sits with an empty screen. I've checked task manager and it takes up memory but does nothing. After letting it run for 3-4 minutes I kill the task. What can I do to get the reader installed on this machine? I've tried using chrome, firefox and explorer and get the same results with each.
Try the offline installer from http://get.adobe.com/reader/enterprise/

I created a script to add logos to photos at a club and now when I run the script, the script runs but does not actually place anything on the photo itself. What's going on?
He meant post it here, of course, Louie! How on Earth would you post it "on Photoshop" ?
Thank you for the belly laugh. -

IE Issue - Login button does nothing when accessing at secure URL
I have a user login screen for a customer control panel
located at www.realestate-websites.com that does nothing when you
click on the login button when using IE on SOME computers.
Symptoms:
The computers that are having the
problem get it every time
Other computers running IE work fine
everytime
Different computers with the same
version of IE get different results. Some work, some don't
The problem only occurs when on the
secure URL. Changing the URL to
www.realestate-websites.com/flexCP/bin/main.html solves the
problem, but it not a feasible solution
Forefox and Safari both work fine
everytime
Steps to Recreate the Problem:
Go to
www.realestate-websites.com
Click customer login in the bottom
right of the footer. (this will open the login screen)
Try to login with something. (if you
get a message saying the user/pass was not correct, it is working
correctly. If nothing at all seems to happen, it is broken)
Secure URL:
https://secure.realestate-websites.com/flexCP/bin/main.html
Non-Secure URL:
http://www.realestate-websites.com/flexCP/bin/main.html
I could really use some help on this one. I have new
customers signing up for our service (woohoo!!!), but they can't
get in to use it (no woohoo!!....)
Thanks,
JoeHi,
I launched the URL and got an RTE. can you please check if
this is the reason why you are facing the problem.
Please find the RTE attached.
Hope this helps. -
I downloaded the most recent version of iTunes, and now the iTunes store won't open. It just sits there and says 'accessing iTunes store for hours, but does nothing.
Close your iTunes,
Go to command Prompt -
(Win 7/Vista) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES, right mouse click "Command Prompt", choose "Run as Administrator".
(Win XP SP2 n above) - START>PROGRAMS>ACCESSORIES>Command Prompt
In the "Command Prompt" screen, type in
netsh winsock reset
Hit "ENTER" key
Restart your computer.
If you do get a prompt after restart windows to remap LSP, just click NO.
Now launch your iTunes and see if it is working now.
If you are still having these type of problems after trying the winsock reset, refer to this article to identify which software in your system is inserting LSP:

it has nothing to do with the connection, because even if i try to print a test page from the printer itself (not using my laptop) it still wont print. it says "printing" on the screen, but does nothing. and the green light on the power button blinks the whole time... please please help, its super frustrating, ive un-installed, re-installed, plugged it in, un plugged it, plugged the usb cord in before i realized it wasnt a connection problem, taken the ink out.. i dont know what else to do... again, its not a connection problem.. i tried to go into the settings on the printer itself and clicked printer status or something liek that and it attempted to print out a report, but nothing prints... again, the screen says "printing . . . " but nothing happens and it will continue to say "printing . . . " w/ the moving dots for hours... what could this be?? ive searched online and cant find anything that sounds liek this.. seems like everyone has connection probelms... but i need help!
This sounds like it may be a firmware problem. The first thing to do is check to see if there are any available firmware update. I'll include a link to those instructions below. Next, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet. Plugging the printer into a surge protector, power strip, or power backup can cause it to become under powered resulting in strange problems like this one. If the firmware is up to date and plugging the printer directly into a wall outlet doesn't help, follow the steps in the document below. If that doesn't help, you will need to replace the printer. Hope this helps.

My ipod is showing a red circle with a red "X" in it. Itunes tells me it will prepare my ipod for recovery but does nothing, why?
