Can't switch to old 3.2.2 Aperture library (using 3.5.1)

Hello there,
I use Aperture 3.2.2 (with a 100GB Library on an external drive) and I've just bought a new MacBook Pro which is running the latest version of Aperture (3.5.1). When I go to 'file > Switch to library > Other/new' and click the 'Other library' button then select my 100GB 3.2.2 Library, which is on my external drive, Aperture tells me:
"The selected library is from an older version of Aperture and requires a relaunch to switch. Choose “Relaunch” to relaunch Aperture with the new library."
However, once I click 'Relaunch' it doesn't load my old library but instead displays the default Library (which is empty for me as it's a fresh install).
Can anyone help me access my 3.2.2 from within Aperture 3.5.1 (I'm running OS X 10.9.5)? Any ideas ideas will be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Yes, the message is misleading (actually it is down right poor) but you need to update the library before you can do anything with it in the new version of Aperture.
So to update it, first quit Aperture , then locate the old library in the Finder and double click the library. This will open Aperture on the library and as it needs to be updated you will be asked if that is what you want to do.
Once it is updated you can then use the library as you wish.
Note while the upgrade procedure is safe it is always a good idea to have a backup of it before starting.
regards

I''m looking to format the PCMCIA using a PC and format it to FAT16 and copy the boot image into it and then try to load from the PCMCIA afterward if it works I'll format it using the Supervisor engine 2.
Any one have another new idea I can use, thanks in advance

This is a potentially complex issue.
Is this SUP configured to run as IOS native or CatOS Hybrid?
While in ROMMON can you do the 'dev' command and see whad drives are recognized. Then 'dir' the drives that the SUP recognizes.
Can you provide the screen captures as it boots?
You would be bette served by hacing a TAC case.

HT201328 Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

Can I unlock an old, unused iPhone 3GS (to be used overseas with a local simcard) and upload on it data from a newer iPhone 4 on the same MacBook Pro?

I got approval to unlock my 3GS from AT&T and in the process of updating the operating system. I am now using a iPhone 4 on my computer. I just want to know the following:
When I backup and restore the 3GS in order to unlock it, will it mess up my existing data backed up from my iPhone 4?
Can I upload data from my newer iPhone 4 onto my 3GS?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library?

I imported some 24P HD videos from my DSLR to Aperture but these videos do not show up in iMovie '09 for editing purposes. Although my previous 24P HD Videos from iPhoto '09 show up. Why can't I access these videos stored in Aperture library? I assumed that like the videos in iPhoto, I would be able to access the videos in Aperture through iMovie. Come on Apple! I am starting to get frustrated with your products here. And this is saying a lot when I have been using and loving apple products for the last 4 years.

Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
APPLE. What are you doing?

How can I remove an old version of Lightroom ? I use Mountain Lion on Mac.

Hello,
I upgrade from Lightroom 3 to Lightroom 5. There was no problem. My pictures have been imported in Lightroom 5. But Lightroom 3 was not removed from my computer. How can I remove this old version in a good way ?
I use Mountain Lion on Mac.
Thanks

I'm not a Mac user. But you remove Lightroom just like you would remove any other application from your system. If you purchased Lightroom 5 as an upgrade it probably depended on knowing the serial number of your Lightroom 3. I suggest that you store that Lightroom 3 serial number somewhere you'll remember because it will be needed if/when you decide to upgrade to a newer version of Lightroom.
And, just to clarify, there is no interdependence between your Lightroom 5 and Lightroom 3. They are separate, independent applications.

Can I slim down the size of the Aperture Library by moving the Preview files elsewhere?

Hi all,
I have an Aperture library of almost 20,000 photos, dating back to around 2007. Almost all the master images are stored on an external drive (backed up of course), with only my recent and 'in progress' masters being stored in the library itself. Previously I have had my library split up into one library for each year, with the older years libraries being stored on the external drive where the masters are, in order to keep the size of my 'current' library down. So my current library, stored on my internal SSD, contained only photos from this year and last year, and only a few of the masters for these images. Confusing? Sorry!
Now, I recently decided to consolidate the libraries into one huge library, because it was annoying to have to switch between libraries to find older photos when I wanted them. I did this, leaving all but the recent masters on the external drives (referenced). I thought that the size of the main library would remain reasonably sized, since there were no extra masters being moved into it. However, the library has grown massively - up to over 70GB, which is huge when you consider it's on a 128GB SSD which is also my startup drive.
I'm pretty certain the reason for the huge size increase is that the Previews for all the older images are stored in the Library file, rather than anywhere else. This makes sense - they are previews, they're supposed to be able to be viewed with the external drives disconnected. So my question is this. Am I able to change the location of the preview files to be on my OTHER internal hard drive (non-SSD, much larger), so that they're still available without the external drives, but are not cluttering up my startup drive. And, if not, what should I do!?
Thanks a lot

Glad it worked, but permit, if you will, some observations:
-- Bloated Previews are a known Aperture bug, which came and went within a few updates in Aperture 3. Getting them back to the proper size is simply a elegant step to take.
-- A Preview set to your largest screen size and a quality of 6-8 should be all but indistinguishable from the Master at 72-100 dpi screen image. (Not print resolution.) I REALLY doubt you are going to loose any quality.
-- While using a symlink to stick the Previews on a HD is clever, it may also defeat the whole purpose of using your SSD. Previews are read a lot and are, I suspect, used for all adjustments at less than full resolution. (N.B. I could be VERY wrong on this.) Thus, depending on the amount of RAM on your Mac, you could end up reading and rereading your Previews over a slower link and doing this a lot. You own use will quickly determine if this is an issue or not.
I have blathered on, at length, about what I think matters for size and speed here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17959625#17959625. Some of this may be of use.
I went through a lot of these issues when I tried to fit everything on a 128 GB SSD, so I know some of the issues you are facing. As I noted before, you really only need a Library (minus most Masters) of about 30 GB and that is with large, high quality Previews.
I actually took the SSD out and stuck it in an ancient MacBookPro (in preparation for a trip to Blighty this summer) and have not noticed a huge drop in Aperture speed. (I do miss the speed of applications launch, restart, however.) One thing that I did find that made a small, but nice difference, was keeping all of the Masters on a separate, dedicated drive. Once defragged, etc. that was very fast. Don't know if you could achieve the same results by partitioning a larger drive, but it might well be fun to find out.

Can't switch from old Blackberry 8703e to new 8530

I installed the Blackberry Desktop Software. I connected the 8703e and the 8530 and tried to switch. The 8530 will shut off during the switch process. Then I get a fatal error from the BDS. Any ideas as to what I'm doing wrong. Is it because one is sooo old and one is soooo new? Thanks.

I don't think the replacement process will be any more complicated than you expect. However, if you want to keep your old Time Machine backup files, you'll have to move them from the old Time Capsule to the new. The current advice seems to be that this is best done by copying the backup image(s) from the old Time Capsule to an external disk, then copying from the external disk to the new Time Capsule. As far as the best way to perform the copying, I believe I saw a recommendation to use Disk Utility's "restore" function.

How can I get my old iPhone 5 (Verizon) unlocked for use with another carrier?

I have an iPhone 5 that was purchased with a Verizon Wireless account. It is more than two years old and I have since upgraded it to a newer iPhone. I want to give this phone to a friend in Germany. His service will provide a new sim, if the phone is unlocked. How can I get it unlocked so that it is no longer limited only to Verizon Wireless?

Good afternoon Weth! That is completely correct. All 4G phones are already unlocked for global use. If you contact your international carrier and insert their sim card, it will be ready to activate on the international network. If you have any questions regarding the compatibility of the international network, please reach out to them directly. If you have any further questions, please let us know. Thanks so much and safe travels to you!

I can't switch tabs; clicking on other open tabs or using Ctrl-Tab does nothing.

After upgrading to FF4, sometimes (I haven't been able to identify a pattern yet) I can no longer move between tabs. I can still open new tabs, and can move between those without any problems, but am locked out of any tab that was opened before this issue began. These tabs will still auto-refresh, but clicking on them doesn't switch to them, and Ctrl-Tab just switches between the tabs that were opened after the freeze began. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks....
(Using Windows XP, FYI)

That's what I was experiencing. I had to disable all add-ons (via the safe mode method above) and add them back in one by one. After adding each one back in, I tried to recreate the conditions that seemed to be causing the problem in the first place, which, for me, was customizing the toolbar. Eventually found the add-on that locked up the tabs. Hope this works for you, too.

Can I connect my old mac to my new mac using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter

I've got a lot of data to transfer from one mac to another, one with thunderbolt and one without. I was wondering if by using the thunderbolt to ethernet adapter I could connect the two macs in a target mode kinda way.
I know people will answer with a lot of other options in how to do this, but I am specifically interested in whether or not this option is possible.
Thanks!

you can use the adapter with any Thunderbolt-equipped Mac running OS X Lion 10.7.4 or later, but you'll want to install the Thunderbolt Software Update 1.2.1 after having the 10.7.4 upgrade

I can't sync my old iPod to my iTunes library has been transferred in iCloud

I have an old ipod (bought in 2007) which I've always sync'ed up to the itunes library on a PC without problem. After purchasing a Mac, forcing my old relic of PC in retirement, I've transferred my music library to iCloud. While attempting to sync up my old ipod to the library that was transferred, the ipod only recognized the tunes that I had purchased over the last 5 years. I'm not sure, but prior to attempting to resync my ipod, must I download the icloud matches first? If so, how do I do this? Thanks for your help!

Found it! I need to download the tunes before synching. First, highlight the tunes that you want downloaded then right click and hit "download". Or, you could download the tunes individually by clicking on the cloud icon. Unfortunately, I no longer have my entire music library on my old standby ipod, but that's ok. I'll just download my favourite playlists.
