Aperture stopped working - help

hi
my brother is an artist, and photgrapher who uses aperture
he tells me that aperture offered an update which he took,
then it asked him for his serial number which he gave, it was rejected
saying it could not be used. he is now locked out and can't get access
to all his work including thousands of photo's. would anyone be able to
offer help on line, we're not near a store and intend calling apple but he
does'nt have applecare.
any help or guidance would be appreciated
kind regards

Does he have another volume he can boot off and
install from his original Aperture disc onto it? If
he does and can then the next thing would be to
uninstall Aperture from his 'real' volume and
reinstall it from disc. Of course he should have his
Aperture library backed up just in case something bad
happens.
brian
thank you for the reply
he only has one mac with the spec to run aperture, he upgraded
a powerbook specifically to run aperture
he was'nt backed up, and cant get in to aperture at all?
regards

    I took my iPhone to the Service center of M/s RSG INFOTECH PRIVATE LIMITED on April 17, 2014.
    Why are you posting in this forum about what occured with an independent service provider?  How is is at all relevant to Apple??  In fact, service by any person or business not authorized by Apple voids any waranty.

  • Can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    can not connect the iTunes Store, since the last update 2 weeks ago, iOS 6.1.2 has stopped working, help me, please ....

    Ok, I am having literally identical issues with Marathon Max.
    I try to connect, and it says, "Itunes could not connect to the itunes store, Make sure your network connection is active and try again." I have contacted my ISP, and they ran a full check, and sayed I should be able to connect to pretty much all websites. I did the whole "ipconfig" thing and that was no help. I also tried the "msconfig" thing, and it sayed it did not recognize it as any kind of command, internal or external command or operable program or batch file. Whats strange is I can connect from another computer just fine, but when offered to upgrade itunes I declined for fear of the same thing happpening. I am tempted to just upgrade it and thus demonstrate that itunes has a flaw in their upgrade. I will save this computers diagnostics, and the other one's too, before and after the upgrade. I look forward to sending more feedback regarding this matter

  • I purchased Premiere Elements 13 a few weeks ago, it downloads without issue, but I can't open it. I get an error message that reads "Elements 13 has stopped working" HELP!!!

    I purchased this online, downloaded it without issue, and it won't open. I get an error message that states "Elements 13 has stopped working"

    When I contacted Adobe support that's all they suggested, to reinstall...

    What computer operating system?
    Uninstall, free ccleaner run through, and reinstall with antivirus and firewall(s) disabled is not a bad idea. But, let us look at some other
    factors before that.
    1. When you try to open the program, how far do you get....Welcome Screen - clicking on Organizer or Video Editor or other?
    Have you tried to open the program directly from the Adobe Premiere Elements.exe file after you have applied Run As Administrator to that file?
    2. Does the problem exist with and without the antivirus and firewall(s) disabled? Are you working in a school or company network?
    3. Are you working with a pen and tablet device instead of mouse?
    4. Is your video card/graphics card driver version up to date according to the website of the manufacturer of the card?
    4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed and are you running the programs as administrator?
    Let us start here and then decide what next based on the details in your reply.
    Besides uninstall/ccleaner/reinstall, we may next try deleting the Adobe Premiere Elements Prefs file or the whole 13 Folder in which it
    exists or installing the program in a newly created user account with administrative privileges and trying to run the program from there.
    But, let us rule in or out the first 4.
    Any questions or need clarification on any of the above, please do not hesitate to ask.
    Thank you.

  • I have a corrupt Photo file, that makes Aperture stop working properly.

    I recently imported some of my old photos from a CD to the Aperture Library. Every time I open that project or try to work with any of those photos Aperture will stop working. (in a very aggressive way)
    The viewer wont update.!
    It wont make any change or save anything.!
    I have to quit and restart Aperture to have it working again, I don't know what is wrong.
    Any Idea?
    Maybe new aperture .5 will fix this??

    Another option would be to quit Aperture, remove the project from the Library using the Finder, reopen Aperture (the troublesome project will now be greyed out), throw the troublesome project out, and finally reimport the images back into Aperture. The only problem is you now have to re-do any adjustments etc. for that project. If he project has other images you do not want to re-do you could try just removing the problem import group, go back into aperture and then throw those images out, quit (you may have to force quit) Aperture and then restart Aperture. I did the above on a test Aperture library, but as usual you have to be carefull. Do not do any of this without first duplicating the troublesome library.

  • 11.7.700.169 Error: "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working" -- HELP!!!

    I have encountered this problem many times now. Way to many to be anywhere near happy about. I can understand having an issue with it and looking up stuff on my smart phone instead. But this program is also affecting my online game World of Warcraft. I'm not happy.
    Anytime I open any program that uses the flashplayer, I get the pop up window of "Adobe Flash Player 11.7 r700 has stopped working", and then it force closes.
    I have repeatedly removed it, re-installed, you name it. It's not working.
    Here's my information:
    Browser:     Mozilla Firefox (20.0.1)
    Player:        Adobe Flash Player 11 (11.7.700.169)
    System:       Windows 7, Vista Home Edition with Service Pack 1
    Computer:  eMachine T525, AMD Athlon BE-2350 Processor, NVIDIA GeForce 3100, 320 GB hard drive
    I have read other people having this issue, and reviewed the information given. 1 Adobe reply to the same issue as mine to a different person was:
    1. Chris Campbell, 
      May 7, 2013 6:52 PM    in reply to miamiman55 
    Report
    To help troubleshoot we'll need the following system information:
    Browser  
    Exact Flash   Player version
    Steps to reproduce the problem
    When reporting issues with video or audio, it's also helpful to get your system hardware and driver details.  Instructions for finding this information can be found here:
    Windows  
    Mac
    Finally, sometimes video and audio problems are caused at a lower level and not directly related to Flash Player.  I recommend trying both of the links below to see how they perform.  If the problem exists with both, then Flash Player is most likely not the culprit as the HTML5 video link does not use Flash Player when playing.  You can verify the use of HTML5 by right clicking the HTML5 video and looking for the words "About HTML5" at the bottom of the context menu.
    HTML5   video
    Non-HTML5 video
    I did the test at the bottom of this person's reply to test if I was having an issue with the HTML5 or not.  Both the 'HTML5 video' and 'Non-HTML5 video' ran perfectly fine for me.
    Please help! I'm losing my mind with this program! I've been having to deal with this for months now, and am getting really annoyed, and frustrated, especially since my calm down and chilling time after work, kids, and family is my playing WoW, and I can't even do that!

    I think you are hitting a known bug in 11.7.700.169
    Either install an earlier version from http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/archived-flash-player-versions.html
    or wait until the new version is released later this week.

  • Every button on my blackberry curve 8520 has stopped working help!!!

    Hi all, i dont know if this is a popular question but all the buttons have stopped working on my phone it started with a few of the not working like the n button the o button ect and the the other day all the buttons just stopped can someone help me to see if its a softwear issue or a problem with the phone itself. thanks 

    It sounds like what I have seen multiple times on a device with moisture damage.
    Even sitting on a bathroom counter during a hot steamy shower or bath can cause keyboard and trackball problems UNTIL properly dried out. It really is more common than you think.
    1. Remove the battery immediately!! Do not attempt to turn on your BlackBerry.
    2. Let the device dry in a warm, dry place for 3 to 5 days* (see below)
    3. DO NOT "check it each day" by placing the battery in. Leave it be to dry completely. This takes time. Replacing the battery to check it can only damage it more (moisture + electrical current = disaster).
    4. If the device is warm after the drying period, allow it to cool to room temperature before placing the battery back in.
    Suggestions on drying your BlackBerry in a warm place (open, with the battery out):
    *Place the BB in a container of dry UNcooked rice, and then you might also place it in any of the locations mentioned below.
    *On top of any dry heat emitting electronic component: TV cabinet or CRT, LCD, cable TV/Satellite converter box or plasma monitor
    *On the dashboard of your car on a sunny day

  • Alltel 8330 Curve "Blackberry Device Manager has stopped working" HELP!

    I am a brand new smartphone owner, and first time owner of any Blackberry product, so I am a little overwhelmed here.  My problem stared about a month after I purchased my Curve.  Everything was working great, syncing everything, no problem.  Then, I started getting the following message:
    "Blackberry Device has stopped Working" with the additional verbage underneath "Windows is checking for a solution", after about 2 nanoseconds, that goes away and the following message is displayed "A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.  Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available."
    I am running a new HP PC with Vista 64bit OS.
    The error occurs only while syncing my calendar; I have been able to sync everything else.  I have downloaded the most current desktop manager software ver. 4.7 english without media manager.
    I have seen many other users having problems synching their calendar, but I am not sure if I have the same problem for the same reasons.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!
    Thank you,
    Hank

    The reason your device is running sluggishly is that you are running OS 4.5 on it.  That is the latest OS the 8100 will run.  However, it's slow running that big OS.  There is no OS 5 or 6 for the 8100.  You may be able to update to a slightly newer version of the 4.5 (4.5.0.188 is the latest) but you won't see much difference.
    If you want to update to it you can follow the instructions here:

    Need a bit of help ,computer keeps saying "itunes has stopped working " and then "a problem has caused prog to stop working etc" when i follow links nothing happens and the same info comes up.Please help.

    This Apple article will help you isolate the problem a little -> iTunes for Windows Vista or Windows 7: Troubleshooting unexpected quits, freezes, or launch issues
    Does iTunes start in Safe Mode?
    Open iTunes in Safe Mode to isolate any interfence with plug-ins or scrpits not manufactured by Apple.
    Hold down the Shift and Control keys while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see a dialog that says "iTunes is running in safe mode" before iTunes finishes starting up.
    After clicking Continue, determine whether the issue you were experiencing persists in Safe Mode.
    It would also be helpful if you can provide the Error Report from the Windows Action Center Reliabilty History. To view this go to Control Panel > All Control Panel Items > Action Center > View Reliability History under Maintenance. Double click the iTunes critical event and copy it into your reply.

  • Camera suddenly stopped working HELP

    I have been editing with a Canon ZR-80 on my G-4 laptop. For no reason, that I can determine, the set-up stopped working today. I hooked everything up and when I opened FCP it said it was not seeing a device. I made sure the camera was in VCR mode, cable secure, on etc and everything was fine. I continued and tried to capture anyway. When I pressed play the camera started playing the video, but you couldn't see it on the log and capture screen. It just says, Device not available.
    Please help!
