Can import TIFF files but not see or work with images

I previously used Aperture 2 with no problems. I have scanned a large number (hundreds) of negatives using SilverFast current version 6.6.2r2 using a Plustek OpticFilm 7500i scanner. These files are saved as .tif and are all approx 55 MB in size. I was able to view, work with them with no problems in Aperture 2. I can see and work with them in Photoshop CS4, iPhoto, Preview on my iMac and in any program on my PC. However, I cannot view them or work with them in Aperture 3
When I updated to Aperture 3, the scanned files were visible in the preview mode but not otherwise viewable. Another image from a different project would appear or the image was corrupted. I have done everything in Aperture Library First Aid. I have deleted all of my projects, including my vault, uninstalled and reinstalled Aperture 3 and have the same problem. The image is viewable in Browser (preview mode) but either no image or another image shows up in Viewer or Inspector mode. When looking at the Metadata info, the file name is correct but a different version name is being assigned from a different project.
Any ideas are appreciated. I am about to give up on A3 as it has been nothing but problems and unusable since installed/reinstalled.
By the way, JPEGs from camera, cards, etc have been ok. But one of the major goals I have is to capture my old negatives. Unfortunately, the SilverFast JPEG option is not a viable option as not a viewable file by most programs. I have used the VueScan software but have not been happy with the image quality. Besides, I don't want to have to rescan all of these images.

I wanted to give an update to my issue. The originals are 16-bit TIFFs using RGB color.
I spoke with Apple Support. After uninstalling, reinstalling, making a new library, importing, generating previews, regenerating previews, attempting importing after saving as JPEGs, 8-bit TIFFs, 16-bit TIFFs from other programs (all of which are able to import and present the orginal .tif files with no problems, Aperture 2 included), the conclusion was that there must be something wrong with my original .tif files.
I then brought up the only "solution" that had worked to date. That is importing the original TIFF, exporting it (via Aperture 3) as a TIFF and then importing the new TIFF. This has given me usable images and not just the previews. He said that that looked like the only workaround but that it wasn't a problem because of Aperture itself!?
As cumbersome as this process will be, it may be worth it. I have trialed Lightroom 3 (which can handle the originals with no problem), and at least so far, I much prefer Aperture's workflow and organizational approach.

  • My movies and music videos won't show up on screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this?

    My movies and music videos won't show up on my computer screen, I can hear the sound but not see the video how do I fix this? I'm not sure what to do as far as turning my purchased movie into DVD goes either. I just want to put the movie onto a DVD disc but my itunes won't even show that I have a blank disc in the drive, I'm not sure what is wrong or how to fix this, any help at all would be much appreciated.

    Hi @anthony7722 ,
    Thank you for your query, I will do my best to help!
    I grasp that you uninstalled the Intel graphic driver and the catalyst control.  You reinstalled the Intel driver and now you can view and hear videos on the Internet but you are unable to set the resolution as high as previously.
    When I checked the specifications for your notebook I see that you have switchable graphics.
    Here are two links that I believe will help.
    Overview of Switchable Graphics or Dual GPUs
    Switchable Graphics on Notebooks Configured with Intel and ATI GPUs
    Here is a link to HP Pavilion dv7-6150eb Entertainment Notebook PC Drivers
    Please try this process.
    1. Download the chipset driver, and both graphic drivers and save them  but do not install them yet
    2, Delete the chipset driver and install the updated one.
    3. restart your notebook
    4.Delete the Intel driver and install the updated one
    5. restart your notebook
    6. Delete the AMD driver and install the updated driver. 
    You should now have a Catalyst Control Center.
    This should now allow you to use the higher graphic card which should support the higher resolution.
    I hope this helped.

  • I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hard drive. I have converted some of my AVI movies to mp4 and transferred them to the hard drive, but when I play them through my iPad 2 I can hear the sound but not see the movie. Help???

    I have recently bought a Seagate Goflex satellite mobile wireless hardrive , i have converted some of my AVI movies to MP4 and loaded them onto the hard drive, when I try and play them through my I pad2 I can hear the sound of the movie but not see the film, somebody please help, what am I doing wrong as I have spent a lot of time converting these movies to be able to travel with my iPad and watch them. Thank you

    Unfortunately, the drive is pretty much restricted without hacking it. That is, you can't stream its content via standardized protocols like UPnP, SMB, FTP and the like. This makes you won't be able to access its content from any third-party apps otherwise capable of playing back AVI files from UPnP / SMB / FTP / WebDAV etc. sources.
    While this is certainly not a recommendation (I can in no way be held responsible if anything goes wrong): you may want to consider extending the capabilities of the drive by installing the hack: http://www.hackseagatesatellite.com/wordpress/welcome/
    It'll "open" the drive for third-party, AVI-capable multimedia apps like GoodPlayer, It's Playing etc. to directly play the files over the network.

  • My clips keep going black- I can hear the video but not see the clip.  New user for Elements 8 Premi

    I am making a movie and now
    the clips are all black but i can hear the video.  Using the timeline, I was able to move frames up to video one.  Where should they all be?  In the sceneline when I try to delet the black frames it just moves the black further along the line.
    Thanks

    Rendering the Timeline will basically write an AVI file, that will be used for the best possible playback of that Timeline.
    With much material, the Video is in GOP (Group of Pictures) format, and for frame-accurate editing, one needs full I-frame format. This ARTICLE will give some background.
    When editing GOP structure material, one can Cut within the GOP structure, and then there is no I-frame to reference, so the "difference" frames do not have all of the necessary info. Usually, the program will internally convert to I-frame for editing, but there are times that this does not work perfectly, so Rendering will essentially do that conversion for you.
    In some cases, Rendering is not really necessary, and I do many Projects (mostly DV-AVI material), where I never Render. Other times, I might well Render a particular area dozens of times, to see the best display in playback.
    Good luck,

  • Can print PS file but not make PDF

    Printing to a PostScript printer with a customized PostScript driver in WordPerfect 5.1 for DOS is what we do every day, but when we print the same job to a PS file we can't make a PDF in Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4. What can we do to make a PDF? Here is the error message from Distiller:
    Processing prologue.ps...
    Done processing prologue.ps.
    %%[ Error: rangecheck; OffendingCommand: setpagedevice; ErrorInfo: InputAttributes --nostringval-- ]%%
    Stack:
    -dict-
    -save-
    %%[ Flushing: rest of job (to end-of-file) will be ignored ]%%
    %%[ Warning: PostScript error. No PDF file produced. ] %%
    If I knew what to edit in the PS file to make it print a PDF, that would be one workaround. But I'm very curious why our printer (HP LaserJet 4050 with a Level 2 PostScript emulator) will print a file that Distiller won't process. Here is the only place in the PS file that mentions setpagedevice:
    /manualfeed true put usertime 5000 add {dup usertime lt {pop exit} if} loop <</InputAttributes <<31<< /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792] /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    "612 792" is, of course, the page size in points
    Trying to make the PDF from the the PS file that was meant for another PostScript printer (HP LaserJet 2200D), we get the same Distiller error message. This time the PS file contains:
    letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    This passage from the 2nd attempt has much in common with the first PS attempt. What does Distiller mean by the InputAttributes having "nostringval"? What stringval would work?
    By substituting this from an uncustomized driver that does work,
    letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff
    0 13200 10200 _ornt
    and by removing an offending command BRst, a PDF is created. But it doesn't have any of the special fonts that were downloaded. Still, that's progress.

    Thank you. The first line of the PS file is "%!PS-Adobe", so I conclude that the origin of the uncustomized PostScript driver was Adobe; WordPerfect Corp. supplied it to purchasers of their software. Uncustomized (except for new Type 3 fonts), the PostScript driver still works splendidly for creating PS files that are easily distilled into PDFs. We only use Adobe software for this purpose.
    By editing parts of the problem PS file I am just now able to get the PDF. But it requires replacing the following on every page:
    letter <</InputAttributes <<-1<< /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >>/Priority []>> >>setpagedevice << /PageSize [612 792]  /MediaType (Standard) >> setpagedevice _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
    with this:
    letter statusdict begin true setduplexmode false settumble end _bp 0 13200 10200 _ornt /PlantinR 400 _ff0 13200 10200 _ornt
    I will continue working these codes. It ought to be possible to get paging codes that are less laborious to replace or otherwise get working, and obviously some of the codes can be eliminated.
    We're not in a position to give up our highly customized driver for mathematical logic printing on paper until a volume of historical text is finished. Smoother produced PDFs must be possible for an electronic edition.
    The other snag I mentioned, "BRst", came from a text file of "pskeys" that was to be downloaded with the job. It works when I simply insert pskeys.txt into the PS file.

  • Problem - I can import from mailbox but not scan directly into PDF

    Hi guys,
    I hope you can help.
    I have a Xerox 7132 printer/scanner/copier which has been set up and working on a small office network for a while now. Recently two users of four have found they can no longer scan directly into Acrobat Standard 9 from the application. (The other two are fine and can do everything as before. One is using Acrobat Standard 9 and the other Pro X).The two who have the problem are able to scan to email. They can also scan (from the scanner) to a mail box. However if they stay at their machines and using Acrobat choose to create PDF - scan etc. etc. and then choose to hide native menu, when they click scan an error pops up which simply says - 'PARAMETER'. Not Bad parameter or anything else, just the one word - PARAMETER.
    I found a few bits and pieces on 'Bad Parameter' which state the fix as selecting the scanner. In this case the scanner is selected - 'Xerox Network Scanner'.
    I can ping and find the scanner. I can print to it. I can scan into a mailbox. I just lost functionality to print direct from the Acrobat Standard 9. I have to first  scan the item into a mailbox, and then import it into Acrobat.
    I'm running XP Pro SP3.
    Acrobat is version 9.5.2 and it is fully updated.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.

    I can't tell you why the 3G isn't recognized by FCP and I have no way to test whether it's normal since I don't have access to that model. But just to suggest that you use Image Capture to bring the clips  into your computer and then import those into FCP. An extra step, but FWIW, that's the workflow I use for the 4S – even though it appears in the import window.
    As for your missing Desktop listing, I have experienced that and as I recall I trashed preferences and it reappeared. BTW, I assume shows properly in your Finder sidebar?

  • I can hear my buddy but not see in Video Chat...

    Sort of. Its an odd situation. In video chats, I can see my buddy just fine, but she can't see me. On my side the only symptom of this problem is that "local video" refuses to appear. Any thoughts? I read a similar topic in the forums, but it dealt with Perian, which I've never heard of.

    Hi,
    Welcome to the    Discussions
    Perian is a System Add-on that gets added to System Preferences that help Quicktime play formats it does not normally play.
    Are you saying that if you click your own Video Icon next to your Buddy pic at the head of the Buddy List you do not get a Preview ?
    And no pic appears in iChat > Preferences > Video section ?
    I would do a PRAM reset first.
    Shut down the computer.
    Restart it holding down APPLE(or ⌘ )ALT(⌥)+PR Keys until you have heard three Start Up Bongs.

  • I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD3.  I can see see it...the icon is till there but when I tap it to open it, I get kicked out of pages.   Tried rebooting  and I can open other documents, but not this one.  Any ideas?

    I created a newsletter using pages on my IPAD 3.  All of a sudden I can no longer open that document.   When I click on it, it throws me out of pages all together.  I can open other pages documents, but not that one.  It is very frustrating to be able to SEE the file, but not open it.
    I rebooted and I do have icloud back-up on but am not sure how to restore an older version.  I also made sure there are no updates for pages.   Until the IPAD I used a home PC which I still have but am trying to wean myself off of.  I wish now I had used MS Publisher on my PC for the newsletter even though I hate it.   
    Please don't tell me I have lost my Newsletter and 20 hours worth of work.  

    Try resetting your iPad.  Hold the on/off and home buttons together for 7 or 8 seconds till the Apple logo appears.
    I'm assuming your default is to save Pages documents to iCloud, and that you had a good WiFi connection when you closed Pages the last time you tried to save the document.

  • Looking for a Notes app that I can import CSV files into?

    As the title says, I'm looking for a good notes application for my iPhone that I can import CSV files into. I have tried both Appigo and Notespark, but I can't easily scroll through them, as I have 2,000+ notes. Is there any app that I can import my notes into and also scroll through quickly? I'd like something that works similarly to how you scroll through songs on the iPhone/iTouch, with the column on the right where you can skip to songs (notes, in this case) that start with a certain letter.
    Thanks!

    Hi Tx Tar Heel,
    I've been using Office2HD: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/office2-hd/id364361728?mt=8
    Its cheaper than Numbers and it also works for Word and PowerPoint files too. I like the Dropbox integration. I can start on my Office docs (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) in the office and then edit those files with Office2HD when I'm out of the office. Files saves right back to Dropbox so that when I get back to the office the files are already updated. Not bad for a $7.99 app!
    Hope this helps!

  • I downloaded music to my ipod (4th gen) from my computer but it was mp3 format.  It shows that the music is in there but I can not play it.  It seems to  be in there as a file but not as music.

    I downloaded music from my computer to my ipod (4th gen) but I can not listen to it. It shows that it is on there as files but not music is this because the music was format for a mp3.  How do I convert it to play on the ipod or move it to the music file?

    The iPod can play MP3 files, so that's not the problem.
    It sounds like you're accessing the iPod as a disk drive, and copying files in Windows Explorer.
    This is not the way to put music on your iPod. You have to install iTunes on your computer, and put your music in iTunes. Then you can use iTunes to select the music you want on your iPod.
