Aperture vault with no mother library - how do i update it?

hello. i had an aperture library i created for a project. when i was done with the project i created an aperture vault on an external drive. but stupidly i deleted the actual library that created the vault.
now i have a 50g vault on a drive and i need to get back into the library.
when i try and open the vault, it says the vault was created with an older version of aperture and it needs to be updated. but i can't update it. i can't figure out how to even get aperture to recognize the vault at all... what to do?

Simple, effective answer: Yes, make copies of your Libraries as back-ups and don't use the Vault feature.
Vaults are no more than a back-up created from within Aperture. (I suspect Apple added this feature on the assumption that users of Aperture did not regularly back up their data.) They can be problematic (they can also be problem-free). If you are comfortable with Finder or with a program such as SuperDuper or CCC, use it and don't bother with Vaults. (That's what I do, and that's what other top posters here do as well.)
As far as data back-up goes, I recommend that all users maintain at all time three copies of their data. A working copy, a copy of the working copy that gets regularly updated (no less than once a day, unless the data is unchanged), and another copy of the working copy that is kept off-site. Never have all three copies in the same physical location (don't bring your off-site copy on-site. Take your on-site copy off-site, and then bring the off-site copy on-site, effectively swapping them while never having all three copies in the same location).
As for making on Library for each project ... it is generally not recommended. One of the great empowerments of Aperture is that it functions as an index of all the work it contains. I have _every photo I've ever taken_ in my personal Library. I can search my entire oevre. Your needs may be different -- and may be different enough that making one Library for each project you do is sensible -- but using separate Libraries takes the power of this global indexing away. (Fwiw, the reasons I can think of having separate Libraries: image security, image quarantine, multiple photographers, and Libraries of images where the photographer is not important.)

Aperture Vault with iPhoto Pics

I have just vaulted all of my photos in Aperture but I was wondering if Aperture also vaulted my iPhoto library that is in Aperture as well. I have some old pictures that were in iPhoto and when I started using Aperture it brought up my iPhoto library within the application. I never directly imported the pictures so I was wondering if Aperture knew to vault those pictures as well or if it simply vaulted pictures that were imported directly to Aperture?
Any help is appreciated!

No access to PC with my itunes library - how to start over with a new PC

First time user, so any help is appreciated. I have an extensive library on my 4th gen nano but since my last sync to my PC I left my job so I cannot access my library anymore. Is there any way to use my Ipod to download my library to my new pc and then use the new PC as the holder of the library going forward? the library consists of only CDs (no itunes purchases).
At this point I assume that I have to reset the ipod, and start all over by creating a new libary on the new pc by copying each cd one at a time. I am hoping someone experienced here knows of a shortcut.
THanks

1). Connect your iPod to your new computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
3). Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)

iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

Itunes is telling me that my iphone is synced with another itunes library, how is this possible if i only have one computer?

The "manually sync music" box is unchecked and it wont let me check it without deleting the music currently on my iphone.

That is true.
You can either manually mange or sync, not both.
If you change from one to the other, then it will erase the current content and replace with the content now selected.

MY phones time did not update with daylights savings. How can I update?

The time didn't change on my phone with daylight savings. I tried *228 and that didn't fix it. Any other ideas?

I'm still running 10.4.11 and can't go any higher because on a G5 with power pc. How do I update firefox?

I have an old G5 running firefox 3.6.28 and apparently can't upgrade to a newer version, but get messages that I'm out of date and security risk. Is there anything I can do or will I just not be supported anymore?

You can use a community developed version of Firefox, TenFourFox, http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/. Please note this is not developed or supported by Mozilla so you may experience issues.
Also, you should begin preparing to buy a new computer, as your operating system is horribly insecure.

Uninstalling and reinstalling aperture 3 with 3 disc up grades,

Hello.
Again \    As above how to , I have had aperture on my macs from day 1 . i have discs up grade from aperture 2 , and 3
i have just come back from apple after having a har ware chaeck. All OK The software technician cannot find the problem why I keep getting kernal report shut downs, mostly when using aperture,    Its been fine for 3 days, Working on photoshop and deleting on external library .And also using Nick programs, before , Allot of shut down,s ..
And to day it happen again when deleting photos from the main HD , through aperture, he fans got ging as prsessing was working hard,.
So Everything , including up dates on paralells and pther programs,, Ony Aperture to go.
The main program that i feel has been causing the kernal reports, As when it shuts down, On re boot, it asks most of the time for repair.
SO Down to the nitty gritty.   mac Lion mac book pro. Aperture 3,4.5 ...      How do I uninstall with out losing the libray config and re install from the discs. Can I just down load the full program and intall with my keys ?
I remember having to roll back and key in the older one fist and then the latest one, When installing on this new mac. But old age , forgot how I put it all together,
Hear from you soon I hope.

If Aperture is frequently crashing, and only Aperture, it does not necessarily mean, that Aperture is causing the crashes, it might be, that you have incompatible software installed, that installed problematic kernel extensions, start up items, or plug-ins, are preventing aperture from working correctly. Then you would need to update incompatible items or reinstall the system.
Check, if all your third party software is compatible with your current MacOS X and Aperture. If other software installed kernel extensions, this can cause Aperture to crash or panic.
I.e. check the versions of your NIK plug-ins.
See: Aperture 3.4 and later: Some third-party plug-ins are no longer compatible
Other reasons, that may cause Aperture to crash or panic, may be corrupted items in your Aperture library. Does Aperture crash, when you open it on a new, empty Aperture library and import some images for testing?
Does Aperture work with your current library, if you launch it with the SHIFT-key held down? Report back with your findings.
See this documents, on what to check:   Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
But to finally answer your question:
   How do I uninstall with out losing the libray config and re install from the discs. Can I just down load the full program and intall with my keys ?
Reinstalling will not affect your Aperture library. But you cannot download an Aperture installer for a version compatible with Lion.
Move Aperture to the trash and use your Aperture 3 install disk to reinstall, then immediately use Software update to update to Aperture 3.4.5 again,without trying to run Aperture before.
The updater for 3.4.5 is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1657
Afterwards you will have to enter all three serial numbers, for the versions 1, 2, and three.
Regards
Léonie

How do i update Installed AIR Applications? // General Questions

Hi,
first of all, i'm completly new to AIR. However, i made my way through your product documentation and i'm now able to deploy AIR and a AIR Application (SFDC Chatter) and register it.
Works fine so far, but some questions:
- How can i update installed AIR applications? If i just try to re-install it, the installer will fail with exit code "9"
-> How can i update them directly? If this is not possible
-> How can i uninstall AIR applications in a large enterprise environment?
- Where is the ARH Tool that is described in your product documentation?
- When installing AIR as SYSTEM User (I'm using SCCM) where is the logfile?
- Do you recommend updating AIR on a regular base? Are "older" applications compatible with newer AIR Versions?
Thanks for your replies!
Ben

Hi Ben,
I'd recommend taking a good look at our captive runtime option that is available in AIR 3.0 and higher. While you have to roll your own installer (and updater) this could be as simple as a zip/batch file combination. It also allows you to use the runtime that you prefer and not be dependent on what the user installs or uninstalls. You do have to be mindful of security implications, but it's definitely the way I'd go.

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/air/build/WSfffb011ac560372f709e16db131e43659b9-8000.html
As for updating, it should be as simple as increasing your app descriptors version number and installing again. This article explains how you can also use our update framework: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/air_update_framework.html
The ARH tool can be found here:

How do I update BIOS and VBIOS for GX740 in Win7 64bit?

I can't seemed to update the new BIOS and VBIOS for my GX740 because the MSI downloads and the forum flash won't work with 64bit systems!
How could I update official BIOS and VBIOS if MSI only released 32bit version for their 64bit system?

>>Use the MSI HQ Forum USB flasher<<

Yes, it does.

The act of flashing itself, is done in 'pure DOS', which is neither 32bit or 64bit, but 16bit.
