Can't Delete Projects

I am realtively new to Aperture (only used v.2). I thought I had a handle on organization, etc., unitl I tried to delete projects from which I have removed all of the photos. Although there are no photos in the project, I get a dialogue box saying that the project cannot be deleted until it is empty.
Stuck now with 6 or 7 "empty" projects I can't get rid of. I've un installed and re installed Aperture even. Same issue.
Any thoughts?

Thanks, here is the message I get:
..great, can't seem to paste it.
Text: "Delete Project Error
The following projects could not be deleted from the Aperture Library:
xxx
The remaining managed masters in this project could not be moved to the trash or deleted immediately.
This may be because your Library is on a network volume or because the files have been modified in the finder.
The project cannot be deleted until these masters are removed."
But, for project that never held anything (and even one that did) this makes no sense to me. And Library is on Computer's hard drive, not network.
Thanks for any ideas.

Can't delete project service application instance

Hi!
First, sorry for my english.
I'm trying to delete project service application instance with no luck. I tried to delete service app accordingly with this topic (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/d03219d0-9748-43ef-9c5e-b9006bcaf354/cant-delete-project-web-app-or-service-application?forum=sharepointadmin)
and i've got "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." error after calling Delete method. I tried to delete service app from central administration and also tried to create a new one, but i still got this error in both
cases.
I'm using Sharepoint 2013 SP 1 and Project Server 2013 SP 1
Any suggestions, please

Hi Konnie,
Look for any orphan PWA instances in the farm by running the below commands:
> Retrieve the List of PWA instances in the farm including the orphaned ones:
$serviceapp = get-spserviceapplication | ? {$_.TypeName -like "*Project*"}
$pwainstances = $serviceapp.Sitecollection
$pwainstances | ft name, id
> Look for the properties of the instances by running the below commands and find the one which is orphaned
$toberemoved = $pwainstances | ? {$_.Id -eq "491b0247-fb73-46ac-89ac-fd39db184995"}
$toberemoved
> Once the orphaned PWA is identified delete the orphan entry by running the below command
$toberemoved.delete()

Can't delete project and can't create new one

I'm unable to delete a current project and unable to create a new one, instead I get an error that says: The operation could not be completed. No other information is available about the problem. I'm currently using iMovie with the Mavericks system.

Hey heyfeebs,
It might be a permissions issue - I would check out the troubleshooting steps in the following document and see if that helps:

Remove ability to delete projects from Project Managers

hello forum members,
does anyone know how to set up permissions so that Project Managers can't delete projects? (we are using Project Server permission mode)
tatiana

Hi Tatiana,
This setting can be removed in the PWA Settings > Manage Groups. Here you can edit the Project Manager groups and for each one of the selected categories (you will need to click on each) remove the 'Delete Project' option
Hope this helps

Project Online - Can't Delete Resource and User from Delete Enterprise Objects

I would like to link a resource account to a user account but I ran into an error: "The resource account
is already in use.". This is a known issue which I attempted to resolve by following the instructions in KB2881398.
However when deleting the selected resource from Delete Enterprise Objects I get a message indicating success ("The
selected Resources and Users have been deleted.") but the duplicate user is still in the listing in Delete Enterprise Objects and when attempting to link the remaining resource to a user logon account I still get the error
"The resource account is already in use."
Why is the user not deleted even though Delete Enterprise Objects reports success and how can I delete these duplicates to be able to successfully link the account?

Hi,
This might be due to your Exchange Sync issue, where your project workspace is unable to delete that user from local DB. Try following steps to diagnose the problem:
1) Go to your Resource Pool, DELETE a resource.
2) While resource is being Deleted, open another window
Server Settings -> Manage Queue Jobs
3) Here you can view the progress of your current Resource Deletion update, check if all goes smooth and your Resource is deleted successfully by showing process completion 100% :
( to view any error look at the
last column of table on Manage Queue Job page)
4) Cross check your Resource by running Resource Availability Report.
Basically this will give you a fair idea of your resource deletion problems and how system is responding to it.

How can I delete blank pages in iPhoto project?

I can't delete the master file, which is located on my external HD, through aperture

I import a folder to aperture which is stored on my external HD, and keep the originals on the HD. If I try to delete a master file with the option, file-delete master image and all versions, the photo deletes from Aperture, but not my hard drive. I have even tried to delete my trash, but no luck. Please help, otherwise I do not want to use aperture for file management, which was one of my major reasons for buying it.

After you've deleted a file it from the project it goes into Aperture Trash. When you empty Aperture Trash (Aperture>Empty Aperture Trash) you will get a dialogue box asking "Are you sure you want to permanently delete all items in the Trash?" Under this there is a checkbox giving you the option to "Move referenced files to System Trash". If you check this box it will move the master to the system trash, and from there you can permanently delete the file.
All this is to stop you from accidentally deleting work.

Can't delete file after renaming due to Word file handle still present. Error staes document is still in use but it's really not. Worked fine in 2007 but not in 2010.

I have some code associated with a Word Template. The template is opened, filled out and saved via a routing in vba. This all works fine in older 2007 version (which is version it was originally created in). Once this file is saved, the user can change the
date in a text box and re-save document. The code saves using the new date for part of new file name and then deletes that older file from the server. It fails at the delete function because the newer version of word is not dropping the file handle from the
first named file when user saves it to the new filename. In older version (2007) this handle was released as soon as file was saved to a different name. I can't seem to figure out how to release the old document filename so the old document file can be deleted.
I hope I explained this well enough.

mogulman52 and Don,
I went back and looked at my code and had already updated it to SaveAs in the new docx format. It still holds the lock handle in place until Word closes, unlike earlier versions which released the lock handle when you did a SaveAs.
As a note, all my Word and Excel macro-enabled (dotm & xltm) templates are read only and are never filled in, prompting the user for a file name on any close event or if they run the code gets auto-named. I do the SaveAs and concatenate the file name
from data on the document (or sheet) that has been filled in. During the SaveAs the docx gets saved to a network folder and also on a local folder. The lock gets renamed to the filename and remains until Word is closed.
So my code still fails at the point noted below while trying to delete an old filename version after the file has been saved as a new filename in a new folder. So....
The code is looking in the last folder where the docx file was saved for the older filename so it can be deleted. The newest docx version has already been saved in a different folder and has a new lock handle of its own. That lock is not my problem, it's
the older file lock which really exists in the same folder as the first filename that the docx was saved to. It does not release that lock until I exit Word. My work around has been to instruct all users to manually delete the older version file.
The other odd thing is this only happens when I run it from code, if you manually go through these steps with the SaveAs menu drop-downs in Word it will release the lock handle???
Hope this isn't to confusing and thanks for all your suggestions and help.

How can i delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos

Mac Book Pro (Mid 2012) 13 inches
256 Solid State Start up Insert in DVD Drive
1T Hard Drive in reg slot
16 GB Ram
Mavericks 10.9.4
iphoto 9.5.1
I am currently keeping my iPhoto library on my 256 SS Main Drive of my MacBook Pro.
How can I delete the masters of iPhoto without losing my photos in the main iPhoto display library and all their masters and edits.
I take loads of photos and import them and then will keep only 5% of the ones that I import. As a result I have a masters folder of over 50GB and actual photos that take up less that 5GD. Is it possible to delete the master folder without losing all the photos and without having to pain stakingly go through every folder and pick out from literally hundreds the ones that i kept and edited. How do I reduce the size of the masters just down to the ones that I have kept and not every single photo and video that I imported in the history of my iPhoto experience.
If I delete the master folder will all the photos and their edits be deleted.
If so, is there a way to just delete the masters that are no longer in the iPhoto library, while keeping the masters and edits of the ones that I clearly want to keep because they are the ones that I did keep.
Why do they keep the masters of photos that I clearly deleted and emptied the trash on.
I like to maximize space and this would help a lot to clear up for me. Thank you.

All the 5000 photos that reappeared after repair today were from my canada mega event, but for some reason it did not do it for all the other mega events. It is a start but not complete.
Try the rebuild to recover more lost photos.
If "rebuild" with iPhoto does not recover more lost photos, rebuild with iPhoto Library Manager as described by Old Toad in this thread, but rebuilding with iPhoto Library manager will not recover your projects like cards, bilks, slideshows.
Re: iPhoto glitch with retained masters https://discussions.apple.com/message/26354337#26354337
Mostly the way I organize all my photos is that I make a folder for each country I visit. i.e. New Zealand Folder, Canada Folder, India Folder; and at the same time, any photos that I import I delete directly from new imports and just keep the ones i want and then i go up to events and move the latest imported event into a mega event for that country and so they all get joined in a sense.
As a workaround, merge the events right after importing, before you start deleting photos. And empty the trash always before merging projects.
You might consider to use albums instead of events for your country lists. I simply use the events as basic containers. One event for each day of shooting photos. I found, that smart albums and searches are quicker in iPhoto and Aperture, if the events are smaller, also browsing is easier, if the events are not so large.
You can merge albums and remove photos from albums without the problems mentioned above.

How can we delete the composition which is created by AEGP_CreateComp()?

Hi,
I have created a composition using AEGP_CreateComp( ) method under PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETUP command. The composition is displaying in project folder. I have to delete the same composition from project folder under PF_Cmd_SEQUENCE_SETDOWN command.
we can delete the layer using AEGP_DeleteLayer( ), but how can we delete a composition from project folder which is created by AEGP_CreateComp( )?

Im getting the crash on 10th line when I delete the composition
     PF_Err err = PF_Err_NONE;
    AEGP_ItemH    item = NULL;
    AEGP_ItemType itemType;
    AEGP_SuiteHandler suites(in_data->pica_basicP);
    err = suites.CompSuite6()->AEGP_GetItemFromComp(compPH, &item);
    if (item != NULL)
        err = suites.ItemSuite6()->AEGP_GetItemType(item, &itemType);
        if (itemType == AEGP_ItemType_COMP)
           err = suites.ItemSuite6()->AEGP_DeleteItem(item);
What could be the reason?
