Aperture won't open... at all.

i have had an issue with my dear aperture... i bought it from the App store about a month ago... it was working perfectly, until i installed Final Cut Express. I realised Aperture wouldn't open since then, so i uninstalled them all and re-installed Aperture. but alas, it is still not working. Everytime i try to open it, i get this message:

i have no idea what this means, but i think i am missing a file somewhere. i'd do the whole Time-Machine thing, but i havent updated it in a while, so things may be lost. is there anything i can do??

Hi,
I have just encountered the same problem after installing FCE4 on my MacBook when Aperture3 was already installed. After much searching I have found that this appears to be a know issue and Apple have posted an article in the Knowledge Base (TS3528).
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3528
I'd purchased Aperture 3 through the App Store, had already tried reinstalling Aperture with no joy. I found applying the OSX 10.6.7 combo update did the trick. Update is available using this link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1361
Good luck!
Adrian

  • My aperture program keeps freezing up and my computer battery died but after plugging in and restarting now aperture won't open at all

    Why wont my aperture open ???? Working on a clients project and need it ASAP. pLEASE HELP!!!!

    If you need to reboot after updating then this usually means that files were in use and couldn't be updated.<br />
    A possible candidate is in such cases is security software.
    Boot the computer in Windows Safe mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
    You can also try to login as Administrator or possibly run Firefox once as Administrator via the right-click context menu.

  • Aperture won't open anymore.

    This is going to be a long one. I don't know what I did wrong.
    I have a trial version of aperture. I don't know if that means that it will cease to work after a period of time or what. I'm not proud to say that I downloaded it from a torrent site. Okay, shoot me! Maybe it's okay because it was a trial version.
    So here is what is going on. Yesterday the CF card from my camera wouldn't load into my computer, and I put it back into the camera and there was nothing on it. Very strange as when I was taking the shots I could see them on my LCD on the camera.
    So for all intents and purposes it is empty. I downloaded Untrasher to try and recover the pics on the card. In the download process of the Untrasher, I had to put a copy of it onto an external hard drive. Which I did. And again I'm not sure of any of this because I don't know what I'm doing.
    Untrasher recovered some pics on the CF card, but they were ones that had been purposely deleted when aperture asked if I wanted to delete and eject the card from previous download. So Untrasher works pretty good as it recorvered some old stuff. It didn't however recover the stuff I wanted.
    So now it is taking up 16 gigs on my external drive. Maybe it is not taking up that space because it is a copy and there is nothing on there, but I JUST DON'T KNOW, AS I DON'T KNOW WHAT I'M DOING. I'm not yelling, just emphasizing.
    Now I cannot put the "Digicam .dmg" which is what is on my external drive, in the trash. I get an error message saying an error occurred and I can't continue. Error # 1407. What ever that is.
    And now Aperture won't open either. I just get the spinning beach ball. I found the original download folder for aperture and re-installed it and the new one won't open either. Have these expired? Does anyone have any idea what is going on?
    And how can I put this Digicam .dmg in the trash and get rid of it. It just won't go.
    Thank you for any help.

    There's a good chance that the version of Aperture you downloaded isn't legit.  Same thing for the Digicam clone .dmg you downloaded.  These could be filled with programs that could damage your HD and files.
    Fist things first - since you're running Snow Leopard, the App Store version of Aperture won't work as it will only work on either Lion or Mountain Lion.  You'll need to decide if you want to upgrade to ML first.  You're alternative is to BUY the retail version of Aperture from someplace like Amazon.
    My gut level feeling is that the software you downloaded may have damaged your OS.  My personal recommendation would be to do a clean install of Snow Leopard (after you manually copy all of your data to an external drive that doesn't have any of the crap you downloaded on it).
    If you need a good data rescue program, Data Rescue 3 is probably the best.  Yes, it's expensive, but it's saved my butt multiple times (even recovering data from a WinDoze drive).
    One more thing...quit downloading stuff from torrent sites!  Buy it legit!

  • ITunes won't open  at all... only error messages

    hey guys,
    no idea what's going on with my iTunes its really annoying though here's the scoop i got a lot of bad crap on my comp. so i had it formatted by a guy at work came home installed itunes opened it up it worked great all the sudden it closes itself and now it won't open at all i've redownloaded it at least ten times... nothing works... soon as i click on the iTunes icon it says iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close i sent the error report and it said Apple had a solution to my problem.. but after hours of searching i have found nothing so i'm just going to post this up hoping someone knows whats up (um just for some info i went to my add/remove hardware and quicktime wasn't in there... that's not right i think someone let me know lol)
    any help would be much appreciated really wanting to update my new songs on my iPod

    No thats not right, iTUnes uses parts of quicktime to play audio and video. You need to go here and download the stand alone version of quicktime. Now apple has recently changed this page to include quicktime with iTUnes and then qwuicktime only. get the one WITHOUT iTUnes,

  • Mail suddenly won't open at all

    I clicked on the stammp icon for my mac mail about 3 days ago and it won't open at all. No matter how often you click, it does nothing. If I access it through the web, it works on the web, but not straight from the icon. My ical program quit opening the same day. Any ideas about how to fix this?
    Thanks!

    In the Finder, go to /Applications/. Can you see Mail there? Try to open it by double-clicking on it.
    Verify/repair your disk (not just permissions), as described here:
    The Repair functions of Disk Utility: what's it all about?
    Now, take a look at the following article, in case this is a font issue:
    Font Management in Mac OS X Tiger and Panther
    You may also want to read the following article:
    Multiple applications quit unexpectedly or fail to launch
    If the above doesn't work, proceed as follows to try to identify the problem:
    1. Open /Applications/Utilities/Console.
    2. From the File menu, choose either Open Console Log, or Open System Log, or both, so that the Console application displays the contents of both system.log and console.log.
    3. In the Finder, go to /Applications/, and try to open Mail by double-clicking on it. Look at the bottom of the Console windows for messages that might be written there as a result. They may provide some clues as to what the problem is.

  • Safari won't open at all

    When I try to open Safari the icon just bounces a few times and the rainbow wheel spins for a bit and then nothing happens.
    Safari doesn't open, the icon stops bouncing and everything just goes back to as if I never clicked on the icon to open Safari. I don't know what is going on. Safari has always worked fine and this just started sometime yesterday out of the blue.
    I've read some of the other posts and I tried to open Safari via a different user account and that did not work. I did the cache/library suggestions from my user home and that didn't work. I also did the 4.2.2.2 suggestion in the DNS Server and that didn't work either. Safari just won't open at all. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Have you tried to repair the permissions? This is usually the first thing I do when something is not working right. If you recently installed a new application, sometimes the permissions can get messed up for other applications. Run Disk Utility which is in your Utilities folder to do this. You can find out more at http://www.learntomac.com/index.php/2006/10/15/repairing-permissions/
    Hopefully this will work for you!

  • Firefox has been crashing when I try to close it and now won't open at all.

    For some time now, Firefox has been timing out when I tried to close it, making it necessary to "force quit." Now it won't open at all. Even more strangely, I'm not able to send a crash report to Apple (I get the message "submission failed").
    I've tried downloading the newest version, downloading plug-ins, and starting in "safe mode."
    Also strange, in my bookmarks section the little icons had disappeared lately.

    Sorry I do not use Mac s Unless someone provides a better answer I suggest you start with looking at
    * [[latest firefox issues]] (watch for any updates about new issues)
    * [[firefox crashes]] <br> That article provides general tips and suggestions, and explains how to obtain a crash ID, something that you can do even when firefox will not start
    You may need to investigate the possibility of a malware problem, but try to obtain a crash ID first, that may provide a clue to the problem.

  • I just updated my intunes, but now itunes won't open at all? help!

  • Invalid Library File - ITunes won't open - AT ALL!!!

    hi, need some help! ITunes won't open, at all. Have followed Apple's advice to recreate library (by locating library.xml and moving it to the desktop, while trashing the ITunes library.itl file)ITunes still doesn't open. Connecting Ipod to laptop does nothing either! Any advice would be great!

    Hey try this out:
    Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall OFF, (turn it OFF Permanently until your ready to turn it back on) then click CONFIGURE.
    Under the PROGRAMS tab remove any reference to Apple iTunes or iTunes or iTunes Helper Module or anything related. and reboot.
    After coming back go back to Norton 2005's Personal Firewall, click CONFIGURE. Under the PROGRAMS tab click ADD at the bottom, a SELECT A PROGRAM
    window will pop up. Add the following files one at a time, iTunes.exe, iTunesHelper.exe, QuickTimePlayer.exe, qttask.exe, QTInfo.exe. The last 3 are found
    in your Quicktime folder where that is in your system. Click OK. Turn Norton 2005's Personal Firewall ON, and try starting iTunes again.
    This worked for me. It seems the Quicktime files were never automatically entered into my Norton 2005's Personal Firewall allowable programs listing. Adding them
    manually should help. I also noticed that from my previous version of iTunes the program listed in the Firewall was named Apple iTunes and not iTunes after I upgraded to 6.
    Let me know if this works out.

  • Itunes won't open at all in Windows 8

    Ever since my computer froze and had to be shut down earlier today itunes won't open at all. When I click nothing happens. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything apple related, restarting my computer, moving folders around, etc. and no solution I've found online works. This used to happen on my old laptop (Vista) but restarting would always make it work again.

  • After clicking "yes" to the question "do you want to update itunes now", i waited 2 hours and 15 minutes and it was still "loading".  i turned computer off thinking something was wrong.  now itunes won't open at all.  do i need to download itunes again?

    after clicking "yes" to the question "do you want to update itunes now", i waited 2 hours and 15 minutes and it was still "loading".  i turned computer off thinking something was wrong.  now itunes won't open at all.  do i need to download itunes again?

    Did you actually download the installer from Apple or did you use Software Update.  You can download the installer http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    Maybe I'm old fashioned but I would consider repairing permissions first using Disk Utility because something caused this to go wrong the first time.  And of course make a backup of your whole library first.  It shouldn't happen but some have complained about their libraries being wiped out by iTunes updates.  Better safe...

    Sounds like an activation issue. Quite Premiere Pro. Sign out of Creative Cloud. Restart Premiere Pro. Sign back in: http://bit.ly/CC-sign-out

  • I have a mac laptop OS 10.6.5, and recently upgraded to Firefox 4 beta, but when I try to use my hotmail account, it either never stops loading and/or many files either won't open at all or keep crashing.
