Aperture Upgrade Issues (since Snow Leopard Install)

I upgraded the OS on my 2007 iMAC7,1 Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz to Snow Leopard a couple of months ago. Afterwards, when I tried to start Aperture, I got a message that my version of Aperture (1.5.6) was not supported under the new OS.
So today, I went to the Apple store and bought an upgrade to Aperture 2. The upgrade version is 2.1.1. I installed this and when I start Aperture, the app appears to start, the "intro" white screen comes up with the version / serial number, etc, and then the Welcome Screen starts up.
No matter what I choose from the Welcome Screen (Usually I pick Start Using Aperture), the SW appears to be stuck. The welcome screen disappears as expected, and the command bar across the top of the screen appears, but that's it - the normal aperture screen that shows your projects, etc. never comes up. Most of the commands in the sub-menus on the command bar are grayed out.
To make matters worse, when I try to quit, nothing happens. No message, no nothing, it just sits there. I have to do the Option-Cmd-Esc sequence and kill Aperture.
I checked for SW update and updated everything that was available (OS and Aperture to 2.1.4), rebooted, etc. However, there was no change in behavior.
Everything else on this machine works fine, no other issues or even behavior changes in my machine. The only problem is with Aperture.
To summarize: Aperture 1.5.6 quit working after I installed Snow Leopard. I bought the Aperture upgrade and installed, which allows me to start Aperture but doesn't let me do anything further.
Has anyone else seen an issue like this? Any suggestions for what may be wrong?
Thanks.

You may want to try rebuilding the library or doing a consistency check. Hold command-option when you launch Aperture and choose the relevant options.
Note that Aperture 2.x will have to upgrade the library from 1.x to run. You should get a dialog box to kick this off (and it does take some time), but it sounds like you haven't even gotten that far.
You do need to be running Aperture 2.1.4 on Snow Leopard, but from your description it sounds like you're already on that version.

  • Aperture PS CS3/4 Aperture, not working since Snow Leopard install...

    Since installing Snow Leopard today I have been unable to export/edit from Aperture to Photoshop CS3/4 and back again!!!
    I have tried it with both CS3 and CS4 as I have both installed. Aperture corrupts the thumbnail on export to both apps, they then open the file in both versions of PS but when you go to save after editing you get a message saying the file is open and you can't save it!!!
    It seems to me it's an obvious Snow Leopard issue as it worked perfectly before I upgraded but now I am screwed for editing until a fix is sorted, any suggestions???

    I am not having that problem. I can edit with CS4 an image that was previously edited with CS4 and also one that was not previously edited at all.
    Did you upgrade Aperture to 2.1.4 before Snow ?

  • IMovie Viewer issues Post Snow Leopard install

    Hi,
    I just fired up iMovie (09) after upgrading OS to Snow Leopard (newer iMac bought 4 months ago). I no longer see the project video in the viewer. The "raw" movies in Event Library play fine, but when trying to play the movie in the project library, I only get audio. If viewing in full screen mode, all is well. If i go back and press space bar from project Library, only audio.
    All worked fin prior to the snow leopard upgrade. Anybody know what is happening and how I can preview my movies from the project library again?
    Thx !
    Glenn

    Yes, we've been having quite a few issues since the upgrade, too. Now correlation does not equal causation, so I can't say for sure that Snow Leopard is the problem. All I know it that all this stuff started happening afterword.
    Here is the thread in which I posted my issues, some of which are quite similar to the those of Jay_S:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2141045&tstart=15
    Jay, the solution to your problem recommended by an Apple Expert seemed to fix things, so you might want to take a look. It's in the third paragraph.

  • Issues with Bluetooth/Wireless Mighty Mouse since Snow Leopard Install

    Hi,
    I am having issues with my bluetooth wireless mighty mouse. It was fine after initially having installed Snow Leopard. However, in the past week it has become progressively more and more unresponsive. It functions perfectly normal for the first while after startup, then after a short period of time it becomes slow to respond to the mouse movements that move the cursor. Eventually it gets to the point that moving the mouse results in no cursor movement whatsoever. It also becomes unresponsive to squeezing the side buttons. There are no issues with clicking or scrolling with the track ball.
    I have searched the discussion forums to find issues that pertain to "bluetooth" and "wireless mighty mouse" and have tried the following suggested remedies... Repairing my Mouse with my Mac mini. Renaming my mouse. Deleting the com.apple.Bluetooth.plist file from Macintosh HD\Library\Preferences and restarting my Mac. Reset PRAM and NVRAM. Also tried to install Bluetooth Firmware update 2.0.1 but I get an indication that the update is not needed on my Mac mini. I have also checked for software updates but there are none...
    I am going to attempt resetting the SMC but am doubtful that this will help...
    Can anyone help... Please... ?
    Thanks,
    Des

    I had read in another forum where someone had an understanding that the bluetooth problem had something to do with Airport/Time Capsule. I had also read about how someone was having an issue with being unable to turn off airport. (I had this same problem.)
    Upon deleting a few airport related plist files (see below url) I was able to turn off/on airport AND my Mouse issue has no longer appeared... everything is working a-ok now.

  • MacBook will not sleep automatically since Snow Leopard install

    Hello. I am having a serious issue with my MacBook since upgrading to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. My MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, 2.4 GHz) will not go to sleep automatically anymore. If I select "Sleep" from the Apple menu it will sleep fine. However, it will not sleep according to my Energy Saver preference pane which says sleep at 1 min each (Display and Computer). Another thing to keep in mind is that my display sleeps perfectly normally. However, the computer itself will not sleep.
    Here are the things that I have tried so far:
    - Reinstall 10.6.2 combo updater
    - Remove Energy Saver preferences and entire System Configuration folder
    - Made sure that no hardware or software is interrupting sleep
    - Reset PRAM and SMC
    I am running Mac OS X 10.6.2 with ALL updates and firmware installed.
    Please help me figure this out as it is a serious issue. Thanks.

  • No outgoing mail since Snow Leopard install! Please Help.

    Since I installed Snow Leopard I can't send mail in Apple mail.
    Please help.

    SOLUTION FOR GMAIL:
    Apple mail automatically configures gmail in Snow Leopard and enters your username as [email protected] for the outgoing mail server.
    Correcting your username in the OUTGOING mail server (by selecting edit outgoing server list) to be only "username" by removing "@gmail.com" fixes this issue.
    Go Daddy accounts are still a problem... working on that now...
    No - I'm afraid that didn't work for me. My SMTP settings for GMAIL include only my username/password and the recommended port for outgoing GMAIL SMTP (993) / USE SSL. Whenever I try and send a message, it hangs in the Outbox, and the spinning wheel spins in "Sent". This is only since upgrading to SL. Am about to get on the phone with Apple Care because this is really getting to be a PITA. I've never had a problem using my Gmail SMTP account in Mail before this upgrade.
    OK - I seem to have fixed it on my end. Try this:
    The default setup in the new Mail.app (4.0) wants to place SMTP for GMAIL on port 993. Change the selection from "Custom Port" to the default - i.e. "25, 465, 587". I know there are posts above that say the preferred port for SMTP is 993, +but see+ http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=78799. The SMPT settings clearly state which ports to use (465 or 587). When I selected the default option check box in the advanced SMTP settings in Mail, Voila! Sent Mail! Hope this helps you get your outgoing mail out.

  • Epson RX595 will not print since Snow Leopard install

    I cannot get my trusty Epson to print since installing Snow Leopard and latest printer drivers.
    I can scan. Just cannot print.
    I have looked at some troubleshooting support articles. Does anyone have a good link, tip?
    Thanks in advance for any help with this!

    Try deleting the printer, the <hard drive>/Library/Printers/EPSON folder and the /Library/Caches/Epson folder, and then reinstalling the drivers using Software Update. Then add the printer, making sure that you are using the Epson driver, not the Gutenprint driver.

  • Upgrading issue from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to Mountain Lion

    Hello there,
         I have a Macbook Pro 15'' which I purchased nearly 2 years ago. I have a dual boot with OS and Windows with boot camp.
    PROBLEM: For the past year I have been desperately trying to upgrade my operative system from snow leopard to a later version, without any success.
    QUESTION: If I install Mountain Lion on an External Hard Drive, will I be able to use my mac without the external hard drive? Can I use the external hard drive only for the recovery mode? (Refer to point 2) below for more clarification)
    The STORY:
    First, I tried to install OS Lion. The error I had was that the OS could not create a recovery partition. The problem is well known in the community, but Apple is ignoring requests of costumers and I tried for several months to ask for a solution by contacting tech support. I did not find a solution and at the end I was mostly ignored.
    When OS mountain Lion came out I hoped that the new OS would have solved the problem. I was wrong. I bought the update and I had the same problem.
    The OS won't install because it can not create a recovery backup.
    The problem is well reported in this post:
    http://www.macworld.com/article/1167870/hands_on_with_mountain_lions_os_x_recove ry_and_internet_recovery.html
    I quote the article which says the iussue is due to:"... if you partitioned the drive using Boot Camp Assistant ... the installer won’t be able to create Recovery HD...". In essence, if you used the Apple software Bootcamp to partition the Mac, then any later OS system won't recognize the partition and will refuse to install the update because they can't create a recovery disk.
    Now, this won't be a problem with any other OS, because all you need to do is to manually create the partition , while OSX works only in "automatic" mode. This means I can not upgrade my OS
    There are two solutions reported in the article:
    1) Back up all your data and Format your hard drive. I actually refuse to do so, ^_^ as I would lose 1-2 days of work just because of the lack of support of Apple
    2) Install OS on a external hard drive
    This looks like a neat way out . However, I am afraid I will need to bring this Hard drive with me at all time. I was wondering if anyone has experience with this. I so, I would like to ask if I install OS mountain Lion on that Hard drive, will the external drive be used only for the recovery disk?
    Please, let me know

    Uh uh, I see!
    Also it seems I can use my time machine backup:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Migration_Assistant_(Apple)
    together with Migration Assistant. This would work. Thanks
    Now I need to figure out the Windows part. I need a full backup of Windows as well, with all the programs. In particular I need to be sure I can maintain the graphic card drivers.
    You don't want to know how long took for me to find out how the **** I could update my graphic card drivers in Windows on my Macbook pro. Unfortunately there was a lot of misleading propaganda from Apple about bootcamp, saying that the new intel processor would have worked fine with Windows. Sad that everything was a lie. When installing Windows with bootcamp the graphic card program was unable to find and install the graphic card drivers update . Took me 2 weeks reading through thousands of angry posts of disappointed costumers to find out how to do that. I do not want to reapeat this dreadful experience.
    After one year and a half with my Macbook pro I have a system I am TERRIFIED to touch. It is very very fragile, and any little change can destroy everything. It barely works. that's why I am so scared to re-install the OS

  • Audio issues since Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and Lion update

    My problem since the update 10.6.8 of Snow Leopard and also after updating to Lion, has been that after playing a surroundsound movie or some kind of audio 5.1 all of the audio from the (in my case) mac mini, except for another 5.1 soundsource stops working.
    I know that many people experiences similar problem, some people have no audio at all and some people have the problem the other way around, after playing a 2.0 soundsource no 5.1 soundsource is audioable. And it seems that the SL update or Lion is the key to this problem.
    I dont know if there is some kind of fix for this or it's just to sit back and wait for another update?

    There has been an update release for 10.6.8 that
    supposedly fixes things.  Some have said that
    some of the fixes done for 10.6.8 work for Lion.
    They do require messing with system files though.
    May just want to wait for an official Lion update.

  • TC stuck at 99% calculating since Snow Leopard install

    I initiate the backup as I've done in the past and all seems to go well until it gets to 99% of it calculating whatever it is it's looking at. Then it just sticks...for hours upon hours. It doesn't progress into the actual backup.
    I've never had a problem with TC up to this point and was really excited when SL was supposed to increase the backup speed by 80%. At this point a backup period would be nice.

    I had the same problem - only it sat at 99% calculating changes for 30 minutes, then started backing up at about 1KB (yes KB!!!!!) per minute. Something is very wrong.

  • Problems w/MS Office 2008 & Google Earth Ever Since Snow Leopard "Upgrade"

    I probably should have checked this forum before taking my son's advice to upgrade from 10.5 to 10.6. Ever since this upgrade, I've had repeated and frustrating problems with two applications: MS Office 2008 for the Mac and Google Earth for the Mac.
    Note that I did an "in-place" upgrade from Leopard to Snow Leopard, i.e., I inserted the installation DVD into my iMac and then double-clicked on "Install Mac OS X".
    Office 2008: Ever since the Snow Leopard upgrade, MS Office 2008 has been crashing. Typically, it's Entourage crashing when a crash does occur because that's the office app that I run 95% of the time. However, whenever Entourage crashes and I try to launch Word, Excel, or PowerPoint, they won't launch either... The icons will bounce a few times in the dock but won't run. (The Entourage crash is the only Office App that actually generates a crash window.) Note that there are two identities configured on my iMac, both of which which use Entourage. The key thing about this situation is that when the Office 2008 crash does occur, restarting the iMac ALWAYS resolves the problem until the next time a crash occurs. I've tried to determine what combination of events, i.e., apps open/being used in either/both identities, etc. is the trigger, but I can't find anything obvious. Sometimes I can use the iMac for a whole day without a crash, but that's unusual. If Entourage is left open in both identities, maybe a couple of days will pass without a crash, but invariably it happens again, and then it's reboot time again. In cases where Entourage is left running (in one or both identities), we will still eventually get a crash in one of them if one of us tries to open a WinWord attachment (with a "Not enough memory to run Word" error). If at that point I close Entourage and try to restart it, it crashes. I've tried everything I could find on the Office for the Mac forums, including deleting duplicate fonts, doing a safe start-up, fixing disk permissions via Disk Utility, zapping the PRAM, turning filing sharing off then on (including deleting everything listed in the Shared Folders section), logging out/logging back in, etc., all to no avail. One of the Office 2008 for the Mac forum contributors suggested that the problem was with my Snow Leopard Install, but then a contributor to another more general Apple forum blames Office for Mac. (This is exactly the sort of finger-pointing exercise that I'd hoped to avoid when I made the plunge from being a long-time Windows user to becoming an OS X user...; - )
    Google Earth: This just flat-out WILL NOT RUN ever since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. When I try to run it, it bounces in the dock for about a minute then just stops, staying fixed to the dock until I do a Force-Quit. (I don't have it permanently tethered to the dock since I only use it occasionally.) I've tried deleting/reinstalling, including Google Earth's suggestions to remove files from my identity's Google Earth folder in the Library folder, but no dice.
    My take on all of this is that despite all of Apple's advertising to the contrary, their OS (including updates to their OS) isn't necessarily as trouble-free/stable as their anti-Windows spots would have you believe. Sorry for this long post, but any help would be much appreciated.

    I left my system running all day in 64-bit kernel mode. (I left Entourage running the whole time.) Just now closed Entourage and tried reopening it. Same deal with Google Earth. They both crashed. Here's a screen paste of the entire Microsoft crash log for Entourage:

  • Prints too dark since Snow Leopard was installed in my iMac

    I have an iMac that is about six years old.  It had Tiger and since I got Snow Leopard installed, the prints are not looking right.  They certainly don't match what I see on the screen.  I have an Epson R1900 and I was very pleased with it and my iMac before.  I have Adobe Lightroom 1.4 and just got Lightroom 3.  I have CS 3, but just downloaded the trial version of CS5 extended.  I have tried upgrading the printer with Epson Common Updater for the R1900.  That file is Epson 14284.dmg.  It came out on 6//21/11.  I also tried one that came out 10/28/09, which is 13523.dmg.  In both cases I get a message saying system/library/extensions apple mobile device.kext installed improperly and can't be used.  The version of my printer is 8.61. The OS version is 10.6.8.
    I will call Epson tomorrow.  I tried calling Apple twice now and both techs couldn't help.
    Neil Evans

    I had done exactly that.  I have an Eye-One Display 2 and used it to determine what the brightness was.  I had set it to 116.  It was set at its brightest setting when I got it back from QuadStar, the local Apple repair shop.  The latest prints are closer to what I had with Tiger OS.  I still don't know why I got the Apple Mobile Device messages when I was downloading the two Epson updated drivers and the Apple Software Update.  I'm thinking they were meaningless.  My ITunes works OK.  ??????
    Thanks Hal for your help.

  • How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

    How do I erase my hard drive? My initial operating system was Snow Leopard but I have upgraded to Mavericks OS. My Snow Leopard install disk ejects when I try and use it.

    Do a backup,  preferable 2 separate ones on 2 drives. Boot to the Recovery Volume (command - R on a restart or hold down the option/alt key during a restart and select Recovery Volume). Run Disk Utility Verify/Repair and Repair Permissions until you get no errors.  Reformat the drive using Disk Utility/Erase Mac OS Extended (Journaled), then click the Option button and select GUID. Then re-install the OS.

    When you reboot, use Setup Assistant to restore your data.

  • How do I reinstall my operating system after hard drive upgrade on MacBook pro?  I have Snow Leopard install disc

    How do I reinstall my operating system (Snow Leopard) after a hard drive upgrade. I did a Time Machine backup before the new hard drive was installed. I put in the Snow Leopard install disc and don't get the icon I'm supposed to double click to install Snow Leopard and then the backup.
    HELP PLEASE!!

    Is the new HHD in the MBP?
    Is the new HDD formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled)?
    Where is the old HDD? In an enclosure?  What is on the old HDD, your user data?  Is the Snow Leopard System on it?
    Do you have a separate Time Machine Disk with your user data?
    Answers to these questions should give an exact status of your situation so that one can proceed in the right direction.
    Ciao.
