Can no longer accessed Referenced Masters on Macintosh HD
How do I correct a problem with master files being reported as unavailable by Aperture 3.0.2.
I have always used referenced files (starting with Aperture 1.5) instead of a managed file system, with both the library and the referenced files located on my internal drive. But in late March when I went to work on an image I received the following message:
"The file 2010-03-14IMG2050.CR2 could not be found because the volume
on which it resides is currently offline.
Volume: Macintosh HD"
I get the above message when I right-click on image and select "Show in Finder". In fact all images checked in my library have this problem now. But when I check Locate Reference Files, 0 Files are Not Found, and the Macintosh HD Volume is showing status of "Offline". If I try to reimport an image, it does not show up unless I uncheck "Do not import duplicates". The problem does not exist for reimported or import a new images into the library. It only impacts the thousands of previously imported images!
The problem seems to have started after I uploaded images to a MobileMe Gallery in late March and realized all of the other albums in my MobileMe Gallery were no longer showing up in Aperture 3. I reconnected the MobileMe Albums so they all now show up in Aperture. Perhaps this relates to why my Macintosh HD volume is now showing offline?
I restored the library usings various saved Vault images and get the same Offline result.
I've started Aperture 3.0.2 while pressing Command-Option and executed the Repaired Permissions and Repair Database options in the Aperture Library First Aid screen, without success. I have not tried the Rebuild option yet.
I even went so far as to restore my system using a Cloned image, and also using Time Machine to a pre Aperture 3.0.2 state, but the problem existed in each of these cases.
Would appreciate suggestions on how to proceed?
Thanks,
Tom
I had tried that originally, but there were/are no images in the library that do not have a linked referenced file.
But to test the concept, I renamed one of the directory for one project with about 350 images. Then I went to locate reference files and found the image in the new location and clicked reconnect all. That seemed to fix it for the one image. So to test, I exited out of Aperture, and it took quite awhile for Aperture's "Updating information for sharing previews" to complete.
On restarting Aperture, the one image in the project can now be adjusted, and found when right-click Show in Finder, and the Macintosh HD volume is now Online for that image. But for the other images in the project (and all others checked in the Library) the volume remains in Offline status and error message remains for those images.
I selected all 341 images in the project, and checked Locate Reference Files. This time All Volumes shows 341 Files 0 not found. 1 file Online (Macintosh HD) and 340 files Offline (Macintosh HD). I reconnected all, the ended up with all 341 files online. Note, unchecking the box for Show only files not found helps since otherwise they don't show up.
On restart of Aperture again, this one project is still fixed, but all other projects still showing offline. So I guess I'll have to rename a higher directory, or a main directory under Pictures to change a larger number at one time... I'll be treading softly...
Now the real question, is what caused the problem and how to avoid it again in the future. Aperture 3 has been a real bear to upgrade to...
I'll repost when I have completed this effort for all 23,802 images. Maybe it's time for me to create multiple Libraries with smaller sets of images...

Time Capsule - can no longer access on MBP Leopard
For the past 6 or 7 weeks I can no longer access my Time Capsule from my MBP Leopard. However, I do not beleive this is a Time Capsule issue as I am still accessing (and backing up) successfully from a MBP running Snow Leopard. Note, the access and backup were running fine for over a year and suddenly just stopped working. I've done the basics like repair permissions, software update, checked everything. For soem reason, when I try to access, I can see the Time Capsule, I can connect until I get to Data then "mylaptop Sparse Bundle". When I choose that disk image backup - just continues for ever and ever with a dialog box that says "trying to connect" or something like that.
Any ideas appreciated ...

"the current volume could not be mounted". Also "The Current Time Machine backup disk can;t be found".
Has this Mac had any problems since the last successful backup? Such as hardware repairs, especially a new logic board? A full restore?
Is the +sparse bundle+ currently mounted? If so, eject it and try again.
If not, or if that doesn't help, try a "full reset" of Time Machine, per #A4 of Troubleshooting.
Interesting to note that the final backup (7 weeks ago) failed - it looked like hourly backups worked and the final one failed ("says in progress" ?)
Yes, that's the partial, failed backup. Since it's incomplete, it won't appear in the "Star Wars" display, etc. Once Time Machine gets started, it will "recover" it, and convert it into a normal backup, with a new date & Time.
After that long without a backup, Time Machine will have a lot of work to do (including recovering the partial backup), so connect via Ethernet if at all possible. It will still take a while, but be 2-3 times faster than WIFI. -
Color Nook can no longer access library . . How can I resolve this problem?
I have a Color Nook. Recently it was updated automatically. Since the update I can no longer enjoy reading the library books I once could. I used Overdrive and Adobe Digital Editions to access my county library in the past but can no longer access it.. I get an error message of E_AUTH_BAD_DEVICE_KEY. Apparently I have lost authorization to the AdobeID server.
How do I resolve this problem?Well, you could start by asking in the Digital Editions forum,

Why would there be a fix? YOU are having the problem. I'm not, no one I know is having the problem. No fix is needed.
Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. Have you been through any, if not all of these troubleshooting steps yet? -
How can I change my rescue email or get rid of it? I need to change my email under my apple ID to the email that is my rescue email. It won't allow me to have the same email. I only have one email address and can no longer access the email address under my apple ID
Welcome to the Apple community.
Once you have created a rescue address, you cannot delete it, nor can you change it to the same address as used by your ID. There are numerous providers you can get additional email addresses from, such as Hotmail, Yahoo, Google etc etc. -
Apple changed my Apple ID to the email address associated with my iTunes account. I now can no longer access my account because the old user name is no longer valid and has no password. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours trying to fix this. I can not update any of the apps associated with that user name.
Is this itunes on the iPad or on my computer? Thank you for the reply.

I can no longer access the web on my IPod Touch through my home wifi network.
I have an I Pod Touch with operating system 4.2.1. It has worked fine the past year plus. Suddenly, I can no longer access webpages on it. When try to load a website, looks like it is trying to open the page, but it never fully loads and times out. My I Pod indicates that it recognizes my wifi network and I have tried resetting both my I Pod and my router. Weirder yet, I can access my Yahoo email on my I Pod and if there is a website link embedded in an email message, i can open it and access the page that way. Any link on the web page opened through my email however does not work. My home computer, which is on the same wifi network, is working fine. The only thing that did occur recently was a power outage.
Please help - this is very frustrating.LTE indicates cellular. Tap Settings > Cellular then switch Cellular Data ON.
If your Wi-Fi is working, then you should be able to access the internet.
Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
You will have to re enter your Wi-Fi password.

Following upgrade to 34.05, can no longer access web pages of the SAN management interface, the airco system, the vSphere Web Client, etc. All still work in Chrome.
The airco system gives an error:
Firefox cannot guarantee the safety of your data on 10.32.16.50 because it uses SSLv3, a broken security protocol.
Advanced info: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap
The SAN management interface and vSphere Web Clients display an empty page. Not sure whether these also have problems due to SSLv3.
I understand you wanting to be cautious, but I seriously doubt I need to face an attack from our SAN. Please, at least give us an option to connect regardless.hello, ssl 3.0 is disabled in firefox versions 34 & upwards by default - if you want to re-enable it you can do that like this which will make you vulnerable to the recently published poodle attack though:
enter '''about:config''' into the firefox address bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''security.tls.version.min'''. double-click it, change its value to '''0''' and restart the browser.

I was using my wifi last night when I got an error message stating my ip address had been taken over. Then safari stopped working and i can no longer access the internet. I looked at my ip address and it states 000.000.000....can someone please help?
Sounds like a bogus pop up. In any case power down your Mac, your modem, your router. Then power back up in 1 minute sequence; modem, router, Mac.

Can no longer access disks on network, all of a sudden happend
I have been at this for day’ now and have no results! Can no longer access disks on network.
Connecting to my server (it has one FW HD connected that is in 3 artitions). If I do it over a new window and click on the computer in the network I do see all the disks that it offers for sharing. Clicking one (or any for that matter) I get:
This operation can not be completed because original item for “name of disk” cannot be found.
If I try to mount over cmd K I again see all disks but can not mount any. I get:
A volume failed to mount.
The volume “name of disk” could not be mounted.
Trying to connect to the server from other machine gives same result. However I can connect between the tow other machines without a problem.
I have another machine in my network and this one I can connect to as always. My suspicion is thus that it is the host I can not connect to where the problem is.
And yes I did repair permissions, and ran Applejack.
This has happened al of a sudden as all was well a few days ago. Any insights?Hi orangekay
not sure where you got the idea that I have
bizarre encrypted filesystem plugins and scripts you have manipulating them all the time
because I do not have any such running, just normal Applescripts that do tasks that could be done by hand. -
When I purchased my I-phone 4 several years ago, our email service provider was Everest. We no longer use Everest and I can no longer access that email address, but my I-phone is still attached to that email address, so I can not unlock this I-phone. I have purchased a new I-phone and the same email address transferred to it when the information was transferred from my old phone to my new one. In order to trade my old phone in for the new one, I must be able to unlock the old phone, which I have been unable to do since the old email address is not available to me. Please help.
Having the email address is not necessary. It is just the username for the device. All you need is that Apple ID and password. Now, if you forgotten the password, then you have more work to do. Since that email is no longer active, you would need to send the reset to your rescue email, if you remember that. Or you will need to contact Apple Security for help.

I am using Office 2011 on a new Mac. I can no longer access my entire contact list when clicking TO/CC/BCC to select several contacts for sending an email. I am so surprised & disappointed at the many difficulties, conflicts, & lack of features on the Mac (Lion 10.7).
Hello,
Are you using Apple Mail or MS Office Outlook for your email program? It has been a know issue for some time now that MS Office 2011 Outlook does not sync contacts with Apple's Address Book. This was true under Snow Leopard as well as in Lion. It worked well when I had Entourage (MS Office 2008) in Snow Leopard but once I switched to Outlook 2011, the sync stopped.
Did you just start using Outlook 2011 or has this happened after you move to Lion? Perhaps you could import your Entourage contacts into Outlook 2011?
Please let us know a bit more about your situation.

I have an older computer and can no longer update. After the latest Apple update I can no longer access my e-mail on my mac. I can view it on my iphone and on icloud. Is there a solution to this problem?
Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.
