Apeture??? Endless Problems

Downloaded the trial version of Aperture 3 then bought the complete version. Was this a mistake? I've had nothing but problems with it ever since. It's so slow, in fact, my whole computer seems to be slow since I've installed it. I've lost count of the number of times I've had to force quit. The spinning beach ball appears a lot and today the beach ball appeared and then everything froze. Couldn't force quit or anything? What is going on? I got a tip from somewhere the other day which suggested I hold down command & shift or something (don't quote me) on startup which I did but to no avail. Anyone got any suggestions as to how to fix these issues? Is there a bug fix coming soon? I'm very disappointed because on the surface it looks like a great little program.

Just want to echo and amplify Allan's excellent advice based on my experience.
. Get 4 GB of RAM
. Turn off Faces
. Make sure you have 1/5 of your system HD free/unused.
. Always let Aperture finish it's tasks. Use Activity Monitor if you want to, but note that Activity Monitor frequently reports that Aperture is not responding even though Aperture is not hung. Let Aperture run until it finishes.
. Set Previews to half-size, medium quality, or less (unless you have specific needs). This (and the next) are on "Aperture→Preferences→Previews".
. Set "Share Previews" to "When Quitting Aperture" or "Never". Always let Aperture shut all the way down when quitting (give it all the time it needs to generate and share Previews). With one of my Libraries this regularly takes a few minutes -- sometimes ten minutes or more.
. Quit Aperture regularly. I shut mine down at least every two hours when I am working.
If you are having endless hangs, jumping mouse cursor, and generally poor performance, it is likely that Aperture has never completed digesting a very large import (for example, a couple years worth of photos from iPhoto). In addition to the above, as a general guide, I recommend:
. Clean up your HD.
. Clear the entire Trash sluice (Rejected, Aperture Trash, System Trash).
. Use Software Update and update everything.
. Rebuild the Library and/or Database after a clean boot.
. Let Aperture run, with your computer plugged in and set to not turn off, for at least one night. If you have tens of thousands of images, or tens of GB of data, it may take Aperture 3 or 4 complete days to finish processing.
. Set up a Referenced Library. Put your Library on your large fast system HD and put the Referenced files elsewhere (a huge not-fast external drive is OK). Use Aperture's built-in tools to move your Master files.
. Back up regularly. Store a back up copy off-site. (Always true and worth repeating.)
. Be patient. I see a lot of complaints here say some version of "This is unacceptable in a pro application". Professionals use powerful tools. Aperture can (and likely will) allow you to push your hardware to or beyond its limits.

What can I do to get this cacao agent to start serving on port 1111whatever.
Should I just accept defeat and Junk SUN DS 6.x and advise our customer accordingly? Its a high visible client who prefers Windows and really couldnt care less which brand of LDAP server he uses.

Hi.
The rule is:
"On Windows systems in order to allow remote management capabilities when installing the zip distribution, you must install either as Administrator, or as a user who belongs directly to the local Administrators group."
So your user should be OK.
The issue is that the Common Agent Container has not been configured or mis-configured. I don't know why but now you have to deal with that. Modifying cacaoadm.bat is likely not to be sufficient and if you do this, you should use short name only: Program Files -> Progra~1. Rollback to the original file and try to run <install_dir>\share\cacao_2\configure.bat and then 'cacaoadm.bat rebuild-dependencies'. Then you should be able to use dsccsetup.

Carole.

Please Read this ! USB Sound Blaster 24-Bit External : The Story of the endless problem

In order to keep the good behavior here (I`m really pissed off !) I just?want to tell you something (this is ESPECIALLY for all the guys from the stuff)?Before 2 days I`ve decided to buy a new sound system for my room. I bought myself Creative Inspire t600 5. surround system. Cool. I was very happy. I?needed only to buy a sound card?working with 5. because I have a notebook DELL INSPIRON 50 who has only 2 canals. So in order to be everything beautiful I gave $70 for Usb sound blaster 24-Bit external. And from that time the problems began. In short :? I was using Vista but I found out that it wont work with this soundcard. The first problem : Didn`t identify the device. I tried with several drivers... Nope. No sound card with Vista.(This problem seems to appearance with many owners like me)?I pluged the usb soundcard in my old pc running XP and it worked . PERFECTLY. So I removed Vista from my notebook and intalled XP. This took me whole day to rebuild all my software. Finally it left to set up the sound drivers. The cherry of the icecream. Aaaaand ..... **bleep**. When I play?any track it CRACKLES. Again problem appearanced with many here. I tried to find out here what is the problem but unfortunately as u can see my english is quite bad?so I cant understand?what I need.I really like Creative but if they cant manage this problem I will?no longer buy their stuffs??JUST PLEASE SOMEBODY ANSWER ME IS THERE ANY SOLUTION FOR THIS OR NOT. I JUST WANT STRAIGHT ANSWERPS : Please do not delete my post. I know there are plenty like this. I dont want this crackles

10.6.6 update killed Hard Drive - endless problems

Like most people posting here the 10.6.6 update went fine at first, the App Store worked perfectly (of course...), then I tried to move a file to my External HDD and I got Error -36.
I rebooted. Grey Screen with the spinning wheel never ending. Ran all sorts of Disk Utility things and various error messages came up (Signal 8, I/O ballsed-up - stuff I don't normally deal with so don't know about), then reading forums and this site in particular led to no avail. So, re-installed, losing a ton of stuff (yes, I know...). So far, so fairly pi$$ed off.
So I'm back with 10.6 trying to update using 10.6.6 at first, then 10.6.5 (both normal and combo update) - nothing works. The Software Update fails when it tries to update before restarting, then each DMG file from Apple has an invalid checksum.
So, for the chance to buy another version of Angry Birds I lose tons of work and my MBP is knackered.
Can anyone suggest a next step? Merci in advance,

That's why I'm thinking the drive really is going bad. If it can't write/read from those areas, then you're not going to get a good download unless it finds and area that has no problems.
First, open Disk Utility and repair permissions. You'll probably see lots of things that aren't repaired. That's normal.
Second, boot from the Install disk and repair the disk using DU.
Then, try the update again.
Also, on the original gray install disk that came with your computer is the Apple Hardware Test. If you boot to that disk while holding down the D key, it should start the hardware test. You can then run all the diagnostics to see if it finds anything. I haven't run them, so I'm not sure what options are available, but if it has an extensive test for the hard drive, that's probably what you want to do. But, don't exclude any other hardware tests, it could be something else interfering.
Even if it says the Disk is OK and the SMART status in DU is Verified, the drive still could be failing.
I had a drive that was acting up only when accessing certain files. I repaired, erased, installed, repaired, … Finally, the SMART status indicated the drive was failing. That was over several days of pulling my hair out trying to repair/restore etc. My point being it is hard to tell when/if a drive is going bad. Yours may be fine. You may suffer like I did for several days trying to get it working, eventually finding out you've been wasting your time.
Since it sounds like you don't have a backup, you might consider purchasing an external drive, installing Snow Leopard on that, and then boot from it. If everything works fine on that, you can blame the internal drive. If it is still wonky, then there's something else going on. You've still got a good backup drive to use in the future, either way.

Updating to 10.6.3 and endless problems

I've been trying for the past three days to update my Macbook Pro (2009) to 10.6.3 from 10.5.8. The update failed to install (that the the error message, with about 10-11 minutes left in the install). I restarted from the install disk in safe mode and it installed. But after that, it has been one problem after another. First with the attempted combo update to 10.6.8 which could not be installed, it said, because I had to have 10.6.7. So I tried the software update function, which failed several times (something about a corrupted file). I have run repair disk permissions several times, and also the repair disk function. I saw a note recommending a different combo update, 10.6.4, so I tried this. It installed (after a ridiculously long time, like two hours). I went to restart, and now it will not boot. I just get the grey screen with the apple logo and the icon that it's processing (whatever that's called -- if you can't tell, I'm no computer expert). I shut it off and am trying to boot in safe mode. It got to this screen again and has been here for at least 45 minutes. HELP! I think I'm going to try to re-install 10.5.8, using the snow leopard install disk, and forget the whole thing. But has anyone had a series of problems like this?

I'm having a similar problem that I may have cracked. My screen is on but the backlight is off (so the image is practically 100% on resume from hibernate. Have you reset the pram and cleared the smc?

Did anyone else have endless problems getting your...

I am astonished by BT. As a new customer, I thought I would go for BT as they seem to be pretty reliable once set up which is the main thing I need. I had heard reports that getting your line connected and set up can be problematic, but I never thought it would be as bad as this!!
I applied online on the 25th of Feb and all seemed good with an engineer due on the 3rd March to connect the line and broadband to be activated same day. This didn't happen. After a very long phone call, most of it spent on hold, I was advised that they would call back after 48 hours to let me know the new date for an engineer to visit. I never got a call. After another lengthy cal, I was finally given an activation date of the 11th March. This was interesting since the phone line wasn't connected. Not a problem I thought as I had then received a letter telling me an engineer would come to connect the phone on the 16th. The hub arrived on the 11th as expected, the engineer on the 16th. This is not the end of the story!! I am still waiting for the broadband to be activated!!! After the engineer left, still with no broadband, I called BT and it turns out that they never activated it. They are looking into when they will be able to do this and will give me a call back!!!!!
Has anyone else experienced anything like this? I am at serious risk of going bald after ripping all of my hair out in frustration!!! Is it worth waiting a bit longer or should I just cancel the whole order since they have yet to deliver the service I have subscribed to?!?! If I ditch BT, does anyone have any suggestions about who I should go with?!

Thanks for the email!
Here's the latest:
I have phoned somebody at BT everyday since the 16th, always being told I would get a call back within 24hrs, but never getting that elusive call back. I have to say that everyone I have spoken to has been very friendly, looked into the problem for me, and has done everything that they can to help, it seems that it is the teams they pass the query on to that are the problem. The lady I spoke to yesterday credited my account with a months broadband as an apology for all of the problems which is nice.
I got a text message and a couple of emails in the early hours of the morning today saying my broadband was active and ready to use. It isn't. I phoned again today and was told to ignore the messages as they are wrong. My new (this is the 4th one now) activation date is the 26th. So this means that thanks to the credit to my account, I am not paying for something that I don't have! I might as well not have bothered placing the order in the first place as I'd be in exactly the same position I am now, but would have had time to eat lunch on my lunchbreaks instead of spending them on the phone to BT!
Anyone want to place a bet on whether I will be connected on the 26th or not? Maybe it will be 4th time lucky! Personally I really doubt it. Order will be cancelled if they fail this time.

Endless problems... missing effects

I don't know what has been going on, but I seem to be having continual trouble. My effects tab was gone, but I got it back. But now, it looks different, and does not have all the effects. For example, under 'amplitude' I no longer have 'normalize.' Why do these things keep happening? I don't know. But I may soon move to a cave.

>But I may soon move to a cave
That may not solve your problem if the entrance to that cave also disappears LOL
Seriously though maybe you should uninstall and then reinstall and then keep an eye on things to see if something else occurs which is causing this problem - assuming it happens again?

Endless problems with K8N Neo Platinum

I am really frustrated. My new motherboard just plain isn't doing what it needs to do. The problems can be put into 3 categories, in order of severity:
1. Realtek Ac'97 Audio Card DOESN'T EXIST - It isn't even an unknown device in the Device Manager. It doesn't help to install the drivers because as far as the system is concerned there is no internal audio card on the Motherboard. Needless to say, I have absolutely no audio on my system.
2. USB Ports malfunctioning - All of the USB ports will realize when devices are plugged in, but the drivers for those devices will not load. A little bubble will pop up down in the system tray with the USB symbol that says "One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows doesn't recognize it." Below it shows the supposed "location of the device" which always shows it as an "Unknown Device" on the "USB Root Hub" which I assume means the 4 USB ports attached to the motherboard. It even says this if the device is plugged into D-Link or to the front panel.
3. Floppy Drive not working - Even though apparently the floppy disk driver is installed and "Drive A" shows up in "My Computer", whenever I try to access the drive with a disk in it a dialogue box shows up saying the disk isn't formatted. When I try to format, it is unable to do so with the message "Windows was unable to complete the format."
I received the motherboard on Thursday, and I've already submitted an RMA with the distributor (Zipzoomfly.com). If you have any suggestions please let me know.

Well...I don't know about the expert stuff, but we've seen some real "dingers" here at the forum...most of the problems are easily fixed - once the correct information is given in the signatures. Most problems have been caused by incompatible memory, and/or lack of a quality power supply.
It sounds as though you had already made up your mind to RMA the board...and with those glitches right off the bat..I would do the same thing. But...I know nothing about your computer, whether it is all new - or you've just added old components to a new motherboard. So you see how important it is to create a signature describing your total system specifications....even amperage ratings on the +12v rails.
Your board could be salvageable...I don't know your set-up though!

Imac 2010 27inch endless problems in the last 24hrs

Hi guys, this is my first post and I am relatively new to the world of mac computers.
I have a 2010 27inch I3 imac. I installed 2 4GB ram sticks yesterday so it now has 12gb installed in total. Everything seemed fine after I installed them, checked to see if the imac was seeing them and yes it now says 12gb installed, was working fine and normal for about 30 mins, I clicked on paralles to see if my indows 7 would open, and then the problems started happening. It kept crashing, thinking something was wrong with windows or paralles, I tried to reinstall the mac os x again, this didn't go as planned, every time I tried to download the mac os it said try again later, instead I used the time machine to reinstall everything and the same issues keep occurring.
I have no idea what exactly the problem. Has this ram I installed done something terrible to my imac or is it something worse.
I am extremely frustrated. Please help

Hi, it wasn't crucial memory I bought and the only reason I didn't buy crucial was the iMac I have has Samsung sticks of ram so I purchased that brand. I have since taken the ram back out and everything seems to be working normal again.
I haven't updated the system to the latest software from apple as I have parallels 8 and it says I would have to spend another 80 euro to upgrade that for Yosemite to work with it hence I didn't upgrade but I don't understand why that might have an affect on how my system is running. I don't mind buying crucial ram but I am now fearful of buying any ram in case this becomes a continuing problem.
Since taking out the ram all my programs seem to be working and it hasn't crashed in the last 30 mins, which is a good sign but I am noticing that every minute or so maybe less, some of my folder icons and time machine icon periodically refresh or disappear for a few seconds and then return, I don't know why this is?

Endless problems

Hi,
I registered my house move with BT on 28th December and subsequently moved house on 7th January. I asked to transfer my number to the new address and then the problems started. We have made many phone calls to BT and have been allocated at least 3 different numbers but not the number we asked for, the service centre say they didn't process the order properly in the first place and the frustration is getting the better of me now. Can anyone help?

Audigy 2 NX install... endless problem

Ok, desperately need help.
When I first purchased my Audigy 2 NX USB I was running a PIII 800mhz with Windows XP SP. After installing the drivers and the software package, my computer sporadically detected the sound card. Even when it did recognize it was connected to the computer, my system would freeze as soon as I attempted to play a sound through the bundled media player (or any media player for that matter!) Turning off the power to the sound card would release my system from its frozen state. I tried repeatedly all of the solutions on the Creative website (uninstalling drivers in Safe Mode, reinstalling, etc. etc.) to no avail.
Shortly thereafter I upgraded my system to a P4, 3 ghz with HT. I installed XP SP2, and then the Audigy 2 NX. No issues!! I was thrilled. The sound card worked flawlessly and has been continuing to do so for almost 4 months now.
While playing World of Warcraft however, I was getting some strange popping noises from the speakers when it played certain sound effects. I checked the Creative sight and found that new drivers had been released this past February and thought I would upgrade.
Well, after installing the drivers, I'm back to the same issue I had originally!! XP doesn't want to properly detect the card, and installing the drivers is doing me no good. I know it is not an issue with the card as I have already tried exchanging it for a new one when I first had the issue.
Someone... PLEASE!! HELP ME!!!Message Edited by Strangeway on 03-29-2005 04:44 PM

I have noticed that my video card is on the same IRQ as some of my USB ports (IRQ 6) yet the hardware profiles don't register a conflict. I can't seem to change the IRQ for either my AGP slot or the USB.

At a loss, BT can't seem to fix my problem.

I don't know if anyone else has any suggestions but I'm at a loss here.
We've had nothing but endless problems with BT over the last 4 months and I'm simply lost now.
It started when me and my girlfriend recently moved into our new ground floor flat early January and an engineer came round to set up our infinity connection (we moved it with us, had absolutely no problems at last address). He got the internet working and said someone will be round later to fix the phone line. The engineer came round and fixed the phone line but in doing so, broke the internet connection and then left. We then tried to arrange visits from various engineers, none of which actually showed up. I was even told on 2 seperate occasions that "the work will be done without anyone having to come into the property. Someone is actually working on it now" which I found out later to be a blatent lie as no one had been booked to come round. An engineer finally came out to fix our connection 11 whole days after it was initially supposed to be connected.
Unfortunately, that was only the first problem. Now, whilst the internet does work and we do get reasonable speeds (35/10 wired) the connection will drop anywhere between 10 seconds to an hour at a time at random points during the day, mainly at peak times. This will result in the DSL light on the white OpenReach modem flashing or going out completely or, since we upgraded to HH5, the light turning Amber/Orange. As someone who works from home and also enjoys online gaming in my spare time you can imagine how frustrating this can be and is starting to have a negative impact on my business. BT seem to be at a complete loss as to what the problem is, although they'd never actually admit this.
These things have so far been ruled out:
Our hub was upgraded to a HH5 with the builtin modem (not a hub or OpenReach modem issue)
All wires have been replaced.
Phoneline from the flat has been fault checked which it passed.
The OpenReach socket (the combined DSP and Phonline one) has been replaced and upgraded.
Connection has been completely restarted several times.
I'm not too good with the technical side of things but I did notice in the HomeHub settings that I'm getting a Noise Margin of - 12.8 / 17.6. That isn't good, is it? From what I can tell it should be around the 6 mark? Could inteference from someone else's flat be causing these problems?
EDIT: Oh, just thought I'd add that the actual phone line has been crystal clear the entire time with no crackling or dropouts.
EDIT 2: Something I've just noticed: When my line is stable and working correctly, the first value in the Noise Margin drops significantly (currently hovering around 3.6 / 17.1). This is indeed starting to look like the problem.
After spending roughly 4 hours on the phone to BT in the last 4 months (they REALLY enjoy putting you on hold and moving you between departments) I've given up and refuse to call them again.
This is my last ditch attempt to get my problem fixed and any help at all anyone can provide would be very much appreciated!
Thanks in advance.

Lenovo E540 video problems on Windows 8.1

Hi,
I've just recently bought a Lenovo ThinkPad Edge E540 with the following configuration:
- i7-4702MQ(2.2GHz)
- 4GB RAM
- 500GB 7200rpm HD
- 15.6in 1920x1080 LCD
- 2GB NVIDIA N14P-GV2
- CDRW/DVDRW
- Intel 802.11bgn wireless
- 1Gb Ethernet, UltraNav
- Secure Chip
- Fingerprint reader
- Camera
- 6c Li-Ion
- Dos license
The first thing i did was to install Windows 8.1, as it seems that it's the preffered OS for this laptop.
After this, i've installed all the drivers from the Lenovo Support site and all the programs that i normally use.
This is when everything went wrong.
In Photoshop CS6 i cannot zoom in and out, the image always stays the same. Only if i minimize and maximize Photoshop does the program refresh the image at the selected zoom level.
In Sketchup the same problem, if i try to rotate or pan the image, nothing happens. After minimize/maximize, the image is refreshed.
After a small research, i've discovered that i can change the prefferd video adapter from the Nvidia Control Panel.
Everything was set to Intel HD4600 so i changed all the mentioned programs to GeForce 740M.
This didn't solve the problem, but changed it. In Photoshop for example, this time the canvas doesn't appear at all.
So, a little research later and i found out that by disabling the hardware acceleration in each program, they started working.
This works on either of the video adapters, it doesn't matter which one is selected in the Nvidia Control Panel.
So i thought that i had it figured out, even though a new laptop isn't supposed to work like this, bypassing hardware acceleration in almot all programs
But the problem appeared in Microsoft Office:
In Microsoft Word, i can't change the text color.
In Microsoft Powerpoint, i can't change the background color.
Even if i disable the hardware acceleration, the problem is still there.
Finally i decides that maybe the operating system has an incompatibility with the drivers, so i formatted all and installed an older Windows 7 that i had.
Everything installed from scratch, drivers and programs.
This time all the programs worked (Photoshop CS5, Sketchup 8, Word and Powerpoint 2010) from the start, without disabling the hardware acceleration.
But the next day, when i wanted to use Powerpoint, the problem came back. The background color doesn't change, and in Word i can't change text color. Even if i disable the hardware acceleration.
So i'm back at the beginning.
I've honestly thought of returning the laptop, as it's the first one with which i've had all these endless problems.
Unfortunately, the store's 30-days back guarantee have passed, almost all of them trying to make it work as it should.
If anyone has any idea about this or has confronted any of these problems, please tell, i just don't know what else to do, the laptop is currently useless.
Thank you for yout patience to read all this.

I am also having this problem. Cannot click either button. Really hope someone can shed some light here.

IPhoto + Mobiles accounts = Huge Problems - Please Help!

I administer an Apple XServe on a primary school with leopard fully updated.
We have about 20 macbook laptops which login using the wireless network and a number of hard wired iMacs.
Five of those laptops are being used by teachers who want to take their laptops at home. So I have created mobile accounts for them. But since I've done that we've been having endless problems with syncing!
I have configured them to sync every 10minutes and also during login and logout.
Even if they have synced already the login/logout times are extremely long and during syncing iPhoto keeps duplicating it's libraries!!!
I have tried to completely remove the network accounts and do them from scratch but eventually the problems come up.
I am not thinking to completely disable the mobile accounts, create a local account for them and ask them to use USB sticks to transfer files to their network directories!
Any experts on mobile accounts please help!

I just do sync ONLY at log out (as all other times the process is toooo slow and gets in the way and the process is always painfully slow(that's why I leave the building) - the only time I do a sync at log in, is when I have been using my laptop over the weekend for example and I need changes on desktop. That is not a fun Monday morning as its - 1. log out laptop (wait ages for checking - sync the few small changes I made) 2. log in desktop (wait ages for checking - sync the few small changes I made) - sometimes it would be better to use a USB stick !
I also noted that the iPhoto library checking is slow and if you ever open iPhoto and even if you do not do anything the entire library will sync again, I think this is due to it being a package, much like iCal backup files (they are a mega pain)
getting right what you do and do not sync is an art in itself, but I need to sync iPhoto library however I am very careful and only open iPhoto now when I need to.
I continue to be amazed at how slow checking is, I am sure this should be super fast (I heard it was in 10.4)
anyway im over to Snow Leopard this week I wonder if it will be any better

Apeture??? Endless Problems
