Aperture slow to open

iMac, Yosemite 10.10, all systems/apps (including PS, lightroom, etc.) running good, EXCEPT Aperture. Slow to open - mostly spinning beachball. I have tried DB repair, repair permissions and rebuild DB. Help. Bob

Brilliant Bob!
I was on the verge of insanity .....
Tried everything (rebuilding,repairing, test libraries, reinstalled Aperture etc) ... nothing helped.
Because I use a library for every new project I have to open a new one every time I want to work on my images.
Opening them took forever.
But then you give the iCloud photo suggestion!
Now my libraries open again as before, fast and slick.
You are a genius Sir ! Thank you!
Please Apple "techs" take note of this suggestion and make a patch quick!
Regards, Arjan

  • IMac yosimite aperture slow to open

    my  yosemite aperture very to open

    After updating to Aperture 3.6 in Yosemite, Aperture will do a lot of maintenance operations in the background.This will stop after a few days. Let Aperture run over night in the background, and open the Activity window (View > Show Activity) to see, what Aperture is doing.
    If Aperture keeps running slow, use the Aperture Library First Aid Tools to repair the library, see this manual page:   http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual/index.html#chapter=27%26se ction=10%26tasks=true

  • Aperture slowed computer down when importing large library

    Hi, I recently imported 47,000 photo's into Aperture 2 from Iphoto. The entire process took several hours but when it was importing, my computer slowed down to a crawl. My browser took a while to open, Iphoto was slow to open and just about any program took much longer to load. Any task took much longer. I kept seeing the spinning ball when using Aperture. Has this happened to anyone else? Should I be concerned? Any info is greatly appreciated

    Not at all. Aperture's just using all the computer's resources as importing 47,000 photos is a very processor intensive job. Once it's done, all should be back to normal.
    If it's still running slow after they've all been imported and all the thumbnails/previews have been made, then that's a bit odd.

    Hi,  from the last two days my iphone( iphone 4 with ios 5) have very slow to open the apps and very slow when i check the notification window , it taking too much time to open when i tap to down . help me to resolve the issue.

    The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
    Restart... Reset... Restore...
    iPhone Reset
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...
    If that does not help... See Here:

  • Open and Save Dialogs Slow to Open and Populate

    In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become very slow to open and populate since installing Snow Leopard, when the machine is connected to a Windows server. Disconnecting from the server solves the problem; reconnecting causes it to reappear.
    This only happens on some of my machines, and not others
    Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (about 10 seconds in all).

    Roy,
    I've got the same problem. I've been charting the slowness, i.e. the time until the app responds and opens the save dialog box, and most apps hover around 2 minutes of waiting.
    My home network consists of a belkin n+ router (running only with the N radio, and WPA2 security), one ethernet-connected powerbook with a USB-connected hard disk (640GB+), and my MBP connecting by wireless. The USB HD is used as a Time Machine backup disk, and the backups are extremely slow, on the order of 2 GB's per hour at most.
    That said, I called up Apple Tech Support and they had me flash my PRAM, restart the machine, and Reset Safari (since that was the app I called about). These efforts, unfortunately, did not fix the issue.
    I will be passing on the fact that Tech Support's efforts did not solve the problem--maybe they'll get back to me on the issue. If so, I'll post it here.

  • When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box

    When I open iTunes it is slow to open for one, and two when it does see my iPhone and i go to sync it this is what I get in return... The iPhone "My Name here" could not be synced because the iPhone could not be found on the network. that is a pop up box in middle of screen that says that it does it like every time I go to sync the phone after i do app updates. I am getting very frustrated by this can someone please help. I have made 2 other discussion topics about this and no replies on them. Please if anyone can help I ask for help. This has occurred ever since the iOS 5.1 update and the iTunes 10.6.0 and still continues with the iTunes 10.6.1 update just yesterday and perhaps even worse now. PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN. I have looked through my network settings etc and everything looks good here on my side.

  • Report slow to open in Crystal

    Some of my reports are very slow to open in Crystal Reports 2011. It can take up to a minute for a report to open.
    Once the report opens, generating data is quick.
    Consequently reports are slow to open in the Crystal viewer within my application as well.
    It does not happen with all reports, any suggestions as to the cause or some solutions to try.
    Thank you
    Luke.

    Hi Luke,
    Moved to the SDK forum.
    Any reason is you may have the Verify Database options checked on. Or it could be your report is looking for the printer in the report across your domain.
    Typically though if the Verify is checked on a one minute time out happens for ODBC data sources if the DSN is not available.
    So need more info:
    What version of CR Designer are you using?
    What SDK and version are you using?

  • Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7. I've clicked on a folder 5 minutes ago and am still waiting. The work-around seems to be to force-close it, but I've needed to do this many times in the last few days.

    Pages on my iPad3 has become very slow to open documents after upgrading to ios7.
    I posted on here about this a few weeks back and someone suggested force-closing Pages -- and that does indeed enable me to open things -- but I have had to force-close many times in the last 24 hours, which is worrying. Are there any other suggestions?
    I am sometimes also finding that, when I have been writing something and then click on "documents" the screen goes blank, there is a wait of around a minute and then the same document is re-displayed, before clicking "documents" again lets me look at other documents -- which is a pain if I am trying to move between documents repeatedly. Again, words of wisdom on this would be great.
    Pages under iOS6 opened quickly, and there was an immediate loss of performance when I upgraded. I am finding this very frustrating because I don't feel that the new Pages has added to the facilities I was using, but a slowness to open documents is frustrating.
    Thanks

  • Why does my firefox start page keep opening in a foreign language, no matter how many times i have uninstalled and reinstalled the US English version? also, why is it so slow to open, if it opens at all now?

    it wants me to believe it's opening in Spanish, but that is not the language that appears on the start page, looks like it might be German? also, since i have reinstalled, mozilla/firefox is extremely slow to open, if, in fact, it opens at all. if i stop the process, and then proceed to open something else via the toolbar, i.e., aol mail, etc., i get to where i need to be.

    If the Google (Firefox) or Yahoo home page is in the wrong language then see:

  • IPhoto and Aperture won't open

    Dear all,
    Since a couple of days I've got a huge problem with iPhoto.
    Last weak it worked without any issues, but when I installed iDVD to help a friend to create a dvd..I guess iPhoto somehow crashed.
    I've tried to reinstall iPhoto but I constantly get the same error.
    I get this message while opening iPhoto:
    But I've already got the latest updates installed:
    Then I tried to install the latest Aperture, because I wanted to try to import the iPhoto library to Aperture in order to save my nicely organised 50 gigabytes (medatada, places, faces, albums e.d.) of photo's.
    But unfortunatly:
    I know I can right click the library and copy the masters folder when I choose show package contents, but then I loose all my medadata and clean organisation that I've worked on for a really long time... it's a 50GB library, that's a lot of pictures and I the system and folder structure that the master folder has is very very poor.
    Is there any iPhoto guru that can help me with this problem?
    Would be greatly appriciated.

    1. What exact version of iPhoto do you have? If you've just re-installed from disk then
    Go to
    http://support.apple.com/downloads/
    Find and download the 9.1 updater. Run it. Then Run Software update again.
    2. You know that there's no need to import the library to Aperture now, just open it with Aperture.
    Regards
    TD

  • HT3805 My Aperture 3 just crashed, i.e., it would not open and showed an error message -1712.  I sent the current version to trash and reinstalled from my A3 disk, but after installing again it still says "Aperture can not open -1712."

    My Aperture 3 just crashed...by that I mean it would not open and showed the message: "Aperture 3 cannot open.  -1712."  I have the latest A3 version and had been using it continually for 3 years.  This was the first crash.  And it will not open as often as I tried.
    I am using a 13" Macbook Pro with OSX 10.8.5.
    I tried sending the A3 application to trash, and reinstalling from my A3 disk.  Install message said "installation successful."  But A3 would still not open and gave same message with -1712.
    Any suggestions what I should do or try?
    Thanks

    Perhaps your Aperture library was damaged, when Aperture crashed. What where you doing, right before the crash happened?
    - If you installed new software - programs, plug-ins, preferences panels, check, if they are compatible.
    - If you imported new images, you may have imported corrupted files, that crash Aperture.
    Can Aperture launch correctly, when you try to open a new Aperture library?
    Hold down the options-key, when you launch Aperture and select to create a new library. Import a few images. Does that work?
    If Aperture will launch on a new Library, try to repair your current library. Hold down the key-combination option-command ⌥⌘  firmly while double-clicking the Aperture library to open in First Aid Mode. Hold the keys down, until the panel appears, and then try  the First Aid Options in turn.
    I have the latest A3 version
    Is it Aperture 3.4.5? The latest Aperture 3.5.1 will not work with Mt. Lion.

    Help please. 

    I'm re-installing from a cd.  I have upgraded since Aperture 1.0!!  When I use the install from Aperture 3.0, it won't open my library (because it has been updated to a newer version of Aperture).  So, I tried to open Aperture with the sample library on the disc.  No go.  States I don't have permissions. 
    I updated the re-installed version of Aperture 3.0 to the current 3.2.3.  I still CANNOT open Aperture.  I seem to be getting the same error message. 
    I have fixed permissions and all.  My Mac is up to date.  I don't know what else to do. 
    I have a MacBook Air and Aperture works great on it.  Problem is my huge library is difficult to transfer or duplicate since it is so large.  I think I will just take out my hard drive from my Mac Pro and put it in a desktop enclosure. 
    I can't even open Aperture from my Vault.

  • Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while running. Should I reload safari and if so, how do I do so?

    Safari is slow to open and close. It also slows down other apps while it is running. How can I resolve this issue?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.
    If you wish, you may be able to salvage the malfunctioning extension by uninstalling and reinstalling it. That will revert its settings to the defaults.
    If there's no improvement, continue as follows.
    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
    and confirm. Test.

  • Open and Save Dialogs Very Slow to Open and Populate

    In all of my apps, the Open and Save dialogs have become +very slow+ to open and populate since installing Snow Leapoard.
    This only happens on one of my machines, and not others. (I've unmounted all connected drives, just to eliminate that possibility.)
    Any thoughts on what this could be. The delay is significant (and feels like the old days of Windows, which I thought I'd left behind).

    The problem now appears to have gone away. The only change I've made is that I replaced an external drive that had recently died with a new one and gave it the same name as the failed drive.
    Could a the dead drive have left something behind (or failed to leave something behind) that is stumbled over (or looked for and not found) each time the file system was accessed, and that got cleaned up (or re-created) when the new drive was connected and renamed?

Maybe you are looking for
