Aperture won't export work copies (apparently after OS X update to 10.6.6)

Hi folks!
I'm really stuck. Some weeks ago (maybe since the 10.6.6 update) Aperture is behaving strange. As I do not use Aperture every day these problems were not discovered in one day. So first I thought maybe some cache or whatever is "irritated" and a reboot would fix everything. Then I thought back and now think that all these problems started after the 10.6.6 update.
- Can't import from the harddrive (some folders open, others won't) - no spinning beachball but no import either.
- Can't export work copies (exporting "originals" works) - sometimes the spinning beachball appears instantly, other times no reaction after right-clicking on a thumbnail or photo to export-work copy and a spinning beachball shows up on the third attempt(!)
- and some other things (for example I get a spinning beachball when I click on the "import" tab in the preference
What did I try? After sucking out google and this forum for these problems I did the following in this order:
- Repaired permissions in Apertures library with Aperture-tool (command-option during Aperture start up) - no success
- Repaired database in Aperture library with Aperture-tool - no success
- Recreated database in Aperture library with Aperture-tool - no success
- Reinstalled Aperture from DVD and 3.1.1 update - no success
- Removed .plist files as described in a KB-article - no success
- Moved away all installed plugins - no success
- Moved Aperture to the trash, made OS X "forget" Aperture and reinstalled Aperture and 3.1.1 update - no success
- (Re-)installed 10.6.6 combo-update as suggested in this forum - no success
- Played with 64- and 32-bit options - no success
I must say I am pretty p*ed-off at the moment as I can' export pictures that I really really need to prepare my honeys invitations-cards for her 40th birthday!
Any other ideas than switching to light room an photoshop?
Please help! Any hint is welcome!

Assuming your machine is within recommended specs and there is at least 15% HD space available, I am leaning towards a bad 10.6.6 or Aperture install.
You mention having run the 10.6.6 combo and re-installing Aperture, so not sure what route you would want to go:
1 - Try removing all trace of Aperture (manually) and installing again.
2 - Try booting to safe boot mode (although, I have noticed sluggish performance on my machine after doing this a couple times, so am reluctant to recommend).
3 - The time consuming clean install of 10.6.6 which is a last resort - IMHO.
Other than that, I can only hope someone else has a better option for you.

Aperture won't export all photos to Mail

Most of the time, Aperture won't export all my chosen photos to Mail. If I chose 8 photos, it may only export 4 of them and no matter what I do, nothing changes. Tried it on Entourage and it was exactly the same. Size is not the issue, I'm sending them in small sizes and the total attachment is about 1 MB. Anyone had this issue and know what to do? I do have NIK plug ins installed if that helps any.

I would suggest you do a library repair to see if that clears it up.

I have an ipod touch 4th Gen that everything was working perfectly. After the last update of iOs5, the battery have charge 20 minutes. Even after the correction of the iOS 5.0.1 the battery have the same 20 minutes. What I can do?

Same thing here. Try putting the brightness down all the way (its hard to see at first but you will get used to it) and one more thing is that close all you open apps. So to do that you have to click the home button twice (after you put your passcode in) and you will see some apps in the bottom. Hold it until there is a red - sign. click all of them so they go away. This does not delete your apps it just makes your ipod better.

I use an online application that doesn't work with FF, but I had been able to use an IE plugin within FF and it worked fine. After the last update (3.6.12), it says plugin is not compatable with version. Help?

go to '''TOOLS '''then '''OPTIONS''' then '''ADVANCED''' then '''NETWORK tab''' then '''SETTINGS tab''' and select the options '''NO PROXY''' click '''OK''' and '''OK '''again in the next screen. With that you have disabled the proxy settings.
''if you like to not disable the proxy settings choose'' : '''Auto-detect proxy settings for this network''' (it is in the same session)

Aperture won't export

since yesterday i encounter the same problem as some described before.
Aperture 'refuses' to export my foto's.
It keeps saying 'exporting' in the bottom of the screen and quitting the program is not posibble, the only solution is to perform a forced stop.
When i open the program afterwards there's a message where the prog advises to repair the library. (which is not the solution to the problem)
any ideas how to fix this irritating bug? my OS is V 10.2.8 & i have the latest version of Aperture 3.4.1 (which appears to be useless now)
thx for the feedback !

my OS is V 10.2.8
You mean Mac OS 10.8.2, right?
Does Aperture hang when exporting any image, or does it only happen for some of your images? Are you trying to export versions or original images?
Sometimes Aperture hangs, when it is processing a single, corrupted image.
If the problem only occurs with certain images, remove them from your library, but if you are having this problem with all images, try the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
I'd start with removing Preferences and presets, and then try the other options.

My Air won't do anything, I can't move the mouse and the keys won't respond. It came after an OS update from the Mac Appstore. HELP!

After an OS update, from the Mac Appstore my Air won't do anything.
I updated OSX from the appstore, and I restarted my laptop. Now I'm in the choose profile screen and nothing happends. At all. I can't move the mouse, the keys aren't responding etc.

You should also ask this in the MacBook Air forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

ITunes won't load on Windows 7 after the last update

iTunes won't load on my Windows 7 machine after the last update. There is no error, but the window opens and says "Checking iTunes library" for a while, and then pops up iTunes. When it comes up, I can see it but it won't load or let me interact with it. The window I can see is my podcast library and it suggests it's accessing the iTunes Store. Right clicking, alt-tabbing seem to have no effect, and I can only shut it down in Task Manager. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling with no luck (...twice). Any other ideas?

Hello Aristoph,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iTunes for Windows issues. If you follow the directions in order it may help:

Windows iPod doesn't work on Mac after iTunes 5 update

Hi. I have a windows formatted 2nd (touch wheel) generation 10gig iPod. I also have an iBook G4. The windows iPod always worked on my Mac until I updated from iTunes 4.9 to iTunes 5. I have the latest iTunes software, but now I can't put songs on my iPod. (I use automatic update.) What's more, whenever I plug in my iPod, my iBook deletes some of my songs from the iPod, and says that the iPod software needs to be updated. When I tried to update it, it said that the iBook couldn't do it because it's a Windows-formatted iPod. It's all a mess. Can anyone help?

Are you trying to switch to mac or to use two different computers?
There are a lot of threads dealing with using an iPod on both PCs and Macs at the same time. I believe there is a problem if you try to do automatic uploads from iTunes from both computers, but check the discussions specific to that.
If you are switching, your life would be easier if you reformatted the iPod to HFS+ (mac format)

Aperture won't export : Retina MacBook Pro

I've been struggling with getting all sorts of basic stuff to work on my supposedly top spec 15" Retina MacBook Pro, the latest is that it can't seem to export from Aperture. Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
Has anyone else experienced this. Obviously being a Pro App I'm going to be charged handsomly to talk to anyone at apple.
Occasionally it can export a single image at a time, the export folder location takes ages to open. Select multiple images and select "Exprt Versions" and absolutely nothing happens. Export originals, and it crashes Aperture. I'm begining to wonder just how far you can throw a MacBook Pro.
It really is the most disapointing Mac I have ever bought, lovely display, but if the computer behind it doesn't function its all a little pointless.
Done the usual reboot, disk permissions etc.
Thanks for any pointers
Stephen

Stephen,
It is new (ish, about 90 days, and covered by Applecare) but calling Apple help - as I have previously - as soon as you mention it is Aperture they want to charge money - a lot of it and with no guarantee of results - to talk about any issues as it is a Pro App - pity it doesn't behave like one!
Finder really slow, attaching files to emails takes ages to open etc - so wondering if it is part of this problem.
I'd really let the Apple Store sort out the system and hardware issues, as long as your Applecare lasts.
Make a backup of your system, best a bootable clone on an external drive (so you can easily revert back to your current state, or run your apps by booting into the clone) and reinstall the system without any third party apps and without Aperture, only the basic set of applications.
Then test your mail and Finder, and if issues remain, go back to AppleCare and present them with the proof, that it is the hardware and not the software.
You may find, that it is not Aperture at all, that is causing the problem, but an incompatible plug-in, kernel extension, "helper" applications, duplicate fonts, problems in the Aperture library inherited from iPhoto, incompatible videos in the Aperture library, an unsuitable drive hosting your Aperture Library. Where is the library located, btw? On an external or internal drive?

Aperture won't export images despite preset modification

I've just downloaded Aperture as an App to enable me to export my photos to a photo library. They have very specific criteria ... 300ppi/image size at least 1750 x1750/level 12 Jpeg or TIFF/1MB-100MB file size etc. I have entered this criteria in Aperture presets but they still fail ... any ideas what I'm doing wrong.
The error message on their site says that the file is only 753KB instead of 1024kb (1mb) even though the info on the image says it is over 1mb/ the size isn't the same as in the preset and that it is only 180ppi - though I realize that the preset asks for dpi which isn't the same as ppi.
Sorry, complete beginner and really need help.

Hi Bob
I tailored the preset to fotolibra's criteria so I put in:- JPEG - image quality 12 - fit within pixels - width 3000 height 2400 and various amounts in the dpi - I've tried 180/300/320 - all trying to get 300ppi (but the fotolibra error message always says the image reads 180ppi!)Everything else I've left but I must say I have changed these boxes many times trying to find the right combination. I've tried TIFF and different sizes - so far nothing has been right.
After tailoring the preset I then went to fotolibra and used their upload engine which asks me to select the image which I choose from Pictures as it doesn't give me the option to choose from Aperture. The metadata for the image I have been trying to upload to them says it is 4000x3000p (12mp) and 6.52mb which should fit in with fotolibra's requirements but by the time the image gets there the data had changed to 753kb and the dimensions have also changed and are too small on the shortest side.
So the image has somehow become compressed in transit - unless it ignored my customised preset altogether?
Hope this is understandable! Any help gratefully received, Bob
Thanks
Angie

Aperture won't export to photoshop

I keep getting an error message when exporting from aperture to CS4, it is totally random, any clues greatly appreciated.

Sharing the exact text of the error message would save us the step of posting this reply.
What do you mean by "exporting from aperture to CS4"? Are you using the Aperture command "Edit with Adobe Photoshop ... "?

Aperture won't export full-size jpegs

I'm trying to export full-size jpegs, but Aperture is sending out 24 KB images. I'm selecting the edited versions I want, then going File>Export>Version. I have the dialog set to JPEG - Original Size. Still, what comes out is a thumbnail.
Aperture 3.4.5
OSX 10.8.5
MacBook Pro
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4 GB Memory

Check, if your export preset "JPEG - Original size" is still set correctly.
In the "Export" panel set the "Export Preset" pop-up to "Edit".
In the "Edit" panel make sure, that "Size to" is set to "Original Size", and the quality to a high value, at least 10.

Officejet 8600 won't pull from Tray 2 after Mac OS update

I recently installed the Mac OSX 10.10 Yosemite update. Immediately after, my HP Officejet 8600 all-in-one would not pull from the optional second tray. There is a 10/22/14 driver update that says it is for OSSX 10.10, but does not fix the problem. After trying every single solution I could think of, including deleting all printers from my system, repairing permissions, installing the new driver, uninstalling and re-installing the second tray, among other things, nothing worked.
The problem appears to be that every time I print, it unselects the "Optional Paper Tray Input" setting from the OS settings. One work around is to go in and make sure that box is checked each time I print, which is a pain and only works about 80% of the time.
The printer is an office printer and Tray 1 is envelopes. While I could put regular paper in Tray 1, that would be unfair to the other people in the office who use the printer and would need to manually do an envelope each time.
I called HP support and they basically told me that it was a bug that was not currently fixed. They said they would e-mail me when a new updated driver is released (I'll be holding my breath for that). I'm posting this here hoping that admins notice it and get moving on that update so that I can get my printer back.

I have the same problem as everyone else in this thread. I've been on another thread, here: http://h30434.www3.hp.com/t5/Printing-Issues-Troubleshooting/HP-8600-won-t-print-from-tray-2-in-upda... .
I have spent hours of time on the phone and in chat sessions with HP, then Apple, and then HP again. The HP reps made it clear that the problem is in the HP update that was issued to work with OS 10.10, and that a fix would be coming soon. That was over a month ago, and still nothing.
Since HP reps seem to monitor this thread, could someone from HP inform us as to when there will be a solution? The last HP software update for this printer was October 22nd, so you've had plenty of time to fix this problem, which HP has repeatedly promised to do, but failed to do.

HDR-CX330 won't connect to Xperia tablet after Android Lollipop update

Hello, Yesterday our Xperia tablet received an upgrade to Lollipop, and now I can no longer maintain a connection to the camera. It momentarily connects, but disconnects almost immediately. I tried (at the camera's suggestion) changing the password, but that didn't resolve the problem. The camera also suggested there was a second device connected. But the 2nd device was the tablet itself! Any ideas on how to fix this? This is a company camera that gets used regularly, and I need to get it working again!

Hello,
MitchelleC said:"If the tablet is set to connect to your Home network automatically, this may intrude connection of the camera and tablet. Same with the Mobile Data connection. Turn the setting off and forget all networks that are set to Connect automatically before reconnecting both devices again."
I think you're on the right track with this, and did have the camera "forget" the network and then re-join. (Can't find where to tell either the cam or the tablet to connect automatically.)
I HAVE been able to establish a reliable (I think) connection using Wi-Fi , but when I look at Xperia's network info in Settings, I do see an authentication error AFTER I have disconnected, so I don't know at what point the authentication error is coming up.
All these months I've been repeatedly doing what worked, without really paying attention to HOW it was working, so I'm a little non-plussed to have just this weekend learned that all this NFC connection stuff I struggled through last year was apparently unnecessary! And from today's efforts I see that NFC doesn't even seem to work unless WiFi is turned on. So either 1) I'm missing something right in front of my face, 2) there's a hidden control I'm not finding (like when I couldn't get the MP4 files off the camera because the ability to view them was off by default and well-hidden in the Settings), or 3) WiFi is necessary for NFC, in which case I really don't see the usefulness of NFC.
Bottom line: I *think* I have a stable connection now, but uncertain as to why it's working. So problem potentially solved.
Because I'm not even certain I've been connecting with NFC or not after all this time, I would appreciate if someone could fill in some of the blanks - or at least say whether or not it all seems normal except some weird connection issue - as I'm always looking to learn and better understand how things work.
