Cannot create vault; crashes Aperture

Hello,
I have Aperture 2 (latest update) and Snow Leopard (also latest update). I have a library stored on an external hard drive connected by USB. I can open Aperture and work in it just fine (although I do get the annoying serial number issues that are problems for other folks). I would like to create a vault on a second external hard drive that is connected to my AEBS, but when I select Add Vault nothing happens. If I click the arrow button to expand the Vault section of the screen on the bottom left, Aperture crashes - the toolbar buttons disappear, it stops responding except for the menus.
I know that a common issue is that the external drive on which I want to create a vault is not formatted for Macs, but I do not know how to check if the drive is formatted correctly. I use it for my Time Machine backups so I always assumed it was formatted correctly but I'm not sure.
I'm at somewhat of a loss. Any ideas on troubleshooting tips?

I'm not sure that this will work. It might, but frankly I wouldn't back up to a vault over wireless (and over a file sharing protocol like AFP).
Time Machine works with this because it uses disk images (specifically Sparse Bundles), which deal with the issues of the file sharing protocol. Aperture will not do this with its Vault, so it could be perilous at best. I would recommend you just plug the USB drive into Aperture, update the vault, and then store the drive away at a safe location. Make a reminder to update the vault on a weekly basis or whenever it makes sense.

Cannot create vault on FireWire drive

I have a FireWire drive with two partitions. One partition is a mirror running under SoftRAID. The other is an ordinary Mac partition. Aperture will not create a vault on the Mac partition, generating an error message saying that Aperture cannot create a vault on a networked drive. It says that it will only work on local drives or those connected by FireWire or USB. But this drive is connected by FireWire. Is this some sort of strange incompatibility with drives partitioned by SoftRAID?

I have two valuts, both are on external FireWire drives (as is my library). Neither of these is attached to any kind of RAID array. My guess is that SoftRAID is causing your problem.
Have you tried "unRAIDing" the drive to see if it will create then? or attaching a different disk and trying that?

Cannot Update Vault in Aperture 2

Today I started getting an error (actually 6 of them, all the same) when I try to update my vault. I am told "Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Aperture Vault”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one." When I try to update the vault I get the "Comparing Library to Vault" barberpole for a while and then the error. Prior to today this vault file has been on the same drive for over a year and has worked flawlessly. I have done the following: 1) Deleted the old vault ad created a new one, 2) Deleted the Aperture plist file, 3) Repaired permissions on my boot drive and run Disk First Aid on the Western Digital MyBook (the drive is only 1/2 full) 4) Rebuilt the Library and run a Consistency Check 5) Trued putting the vault on any of my other drives.
None of this has worked, I still get the same error message. Any suggestions as to what to try next?

I had the same problem and tried about everything I found on this forum. None of it worked. Then I found the following two blog posts:
http://rickcogley.blogspot.com/2010/01/fixing-aperture-vault-errors-from.html
As I am not familiar with Terminal I did dare changing the settings. Trying via CMD-I didn't change anything.
Then I found the following solution
http://www.onlinenerd24.de/2009/04/17/aperture-you-need-to-remove-this-vault-and -create-a-new-one-error-message/
Hooray! Removed the Flickr and Facebook plugins and everything is solved!
Guess, I'll need to upgrade to Aperture 3 since this functionality is now standard available. Was that done intentionally, dear Apple?

Cannot create Vault on external QNAP NAS

I just purchased a QNAP NAS and am attempting to create a Vault on it but all I get is the spinning wheel of death. Is there an easy way to solve this issue? And how can I move the Aperture photos off of my computer and onto the Vault?

guess best bet is to have Aperture Vault on something like a Time Capsule, connected via Firewire
For what its worth I have my vaults on a HD connected to an Airport Extreme connected both with ethernet and wirelessly (my iMac goes over the ethernet the MB goes wirelessly. Never had any problems with either.
The only drawback is that the first vault created on a library on the MB takes a long time to be created but after the vault is created updates go fast enough provided you update regularly enough so that you don't have a huge amount of data to move.

Cannot Create Vaults

Hi
I have Aperture 2 with 19K+ having recently upgraded from 1.5. I deleted the old vaults, reformtaed LaCie drive (plenty of room HFS+ case sensitive, journalled). I consistently get the following errors.
Update Vault Error:
16 errors occurred. The first 5 are:
Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Vault01”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one.
Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Vault01”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one.
Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Vault01”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one.
Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Vault01”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one.
Aperture has detected a problem with the vault “Vault01”. You need to remove this vault and create a new one.
I feel very uncomfortable. Can anyone help. What's an alternative 'safe' backup strategy.

Believe it or not but I might have found the problem. I spent a long time on the phone with Apple yesterday and the support person finally concluded that the error was, most likely, from one or more corrupt photos... I started a new library and imported one project... same problem.
This is when I went and dumped out my /library/applications support/aperture/ folder... bang, everything works again. Sometimes deleting preferences is the best bet. I'm still trying to figure out exactly which prefs file caused the problem. I've narrowed it down to to plugins, flickrexport and picasaexport and one xml file: MetaDataSets.plist. I'll report back if I figure out which one is the culprit.

CAN'T CREATE VAULT!!! aperture 2 with mac os 10.5.4

hi! i cannot create vault from aperture 2 to external hd. usually with he older version everything works well. now when i click the menu vault in the bottom left also the window vault doesn't work fine. And when i create a vault in the external hd aperture doesn't leave me to update the vaults, doesn't leave to delete....
and the general usage of the aperture interface turns out difficult!
i use aperture since the first release and switching to the aperture 2 was a great experience but i wasn't expected to find this important function disabled...
thanks Matteo

Aperture Vault - cannot restore Aperture 2 vault with Aperture 3

Hi
I have a vault I created last year on Aperture 2 located on an external hard drive. I tried to restore the vault using Aperture 3 and it prompted me to upgrade the restored library, which I did. Nothing shows up in the library in Aperture. There is 150M of disk space used on the external drive, so I know there is data there. Any ideas?

But Aperture 3.3 requires version 10.7 (ML) or later, thus do I need to upgrade into ML or are there other options?
To be able to upgrade to Aperture 3.3 or later you need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) or Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mt. Lion). Upgrades from the AppStore will give you Mt. Lion or Aperture 3.4.2 right now.
I do not know how to find free plug-ins for Aperture 3.2.x, perhaps you can achieve the effects that you want with external editors?
If you decide to upgrade the OS and Aperture take some precautions:
Check all other programs and device drivers that you rely on, if they are compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if you can get upgrades. No Power PC program will run any longer, they are not supported on Lion or later. Most of my device drivers could no longer be used, and for some programs I had to buy new versions. You can get a complete list of the installed software and the versions from the "About this Mac" panel from the Apple menu or the System Profiler.
Make a backup and if possible a bootable clone of your system as it is now, just in case you want to revert to the older system. Otherwise it will be nearly impossible to downgrade again.
Also, in rare cases the upgrade of the Aperture library to version 3.3. caused problems. While still running Aperture 3.2.4 make sure your Aperture Library is in perfectly working condition by running all three "First Aid" options: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Good Luck

Some images created in Tiger unusable under Leopard - can crash Aperture

I have tried both updates and clean installs of Leopard on my MBP and external firewire disks. In both cases I find that a large number of images in my libraries (built under Tiger), give Aperture fits. For example, whilst I can see thumbnails, I can't export versions - messages come up to say the images can't be decoded. Similarly, if I try to edit or view some images full screen, I get a message saying "unsupported format". At times, trying to work with these images crashes Aperture.
In a couple of cases, I still have the offending images on cards and I was then able to import them anew into Aperture (running under Leopard) - these work OK.
Boinx Fotomagico under Leopard stopped running and quit without warning trying to run previously created slideshows that incorporate some of the above-mentioned images.
I conclude that there is a problem with Leopard's treatment of images rather than Aperture specifically. However, I have no clue how to address the problem. At present Leopard is just unusable for me.

Hello
a - my way of life is the Winston Churchil's one : "absolutely no sport"
b - as during more than 30 years I ruled a pottery workshop using a process which is unique worldwide, I know what confidentiality means.
c - Whe I exchange with Apple, they don't ask me to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement.
They perfectly know that when I beta tested I NEVER violate the signed ones.
I'm aware of anomalies when using Numbers under Leopard.
Maybe you met one which I ignored.
Knowing such of these problems, I decided to use Tiger as my main operating system.
Here, as I play safety, Leopard is always in test, not in real use.

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file

Installed Mac OS X v.10.6.7, and now we cannot create a PDF file using Adobe Acrobat Professional. This has been done on two computers, one an iMac and the other a MacBook Pro. Assistance greatly appreciated.

Yes, Adobe Acrobat X Pro is the same thing as Acrobat X Pro.
Print to PDF is probably the most reliable way to create a PDF file.
File > Create > PDF from File
is shaky. It works with some file types but not with others.
Another issue is creating a multi-page PDF from a scanner. If you neglect to check the box "Prompt for scanning more pages" and, instead, simply try to add a second page, the application crashes.

This tells my sod all what's actually wrong - I've tried renaming the jsp, I've tried renaming and recompiling the bean but that didn't help either (yes I redirected towards page to the new bean).
No-one here has a clue what the hell has gone wrong with this - especially cos I have at least 15 other beans in exactly the same place and they all work fine.
If you wish I'll post the code of the relevant jsp here.
Any suggestions?

most of this is irrelevent but you should be able to find what you need

Cannot creat pdf from Powerpoint using Acrobat Pro X

I cannot create pdf files from Powerpoint 2010 using Acrobat Pro X. I am using Windows 7 32-bit. There are no updates for my Acrobat Pro X and so the PDFMaker is up to date.

I'm seeing similar error. Had you found a resolution this issue?

Nothing will download..."cannot create file"

so my hard drive crashed on my macbook so i had to get it replaced and im trying to download everything i had before...and i've tried download 2 different things and neither of them will download. when it comes to the little box where the programs should download, it starts to download a little then it says "cannot create file" or something...does anyone know why this is happening? and what i can i do so programs download?
thanks!

Hi Gwendolyn -
Are you downloading with Safari? If so, try 'resetting safari' (in the Safari pull-down menu). Also try moving your download folder (or location) to a different place on your drive (Safari/Preferences/General). You could also try creating a new user and seeing if this works.
Run Disc Utility as well to repair permissions on your drive. Can't hurt.

Cannot create virtual memory swap file

Hello,
I'm getting an error message when i execute the query of a workbook.
The message I receive is "Cannot create virtual memory swapfile "\EuZ""
Something to note is that my workbook opened and ran fine in the morning and started crashing in the afternoon.
I started the workbook on another user's machine
and works fine... for now.
I look in the .INI that are created when i open discoverer and found nothing.
If there is a setting to change or
someone knows about that problem, let me know.
NOTE: The version i'm running is dicoverer 9.0.2.39.01
under windows 2000 (SP3)
Thank you
Yan

This is a (sometimes) bug, at least in Discoverer 3.1 and I see it on some machines when I first install Discoverer. One or two queries may work, and then your message (with garbage characters for the "file name") from then on.
The program seems to fail to correctly set the cache sizes in the registry (or ini file or whatever it's saving stuff) from the Preferences.
What fixes it for us (every time) is:
1. Pull down the [Tools] menu.
2. Select [Options].
3. (Scroll right if needed to) select the [Cache] tab.
4. Set the [Memory Cache] and [Disk Cache] values. You can set them to the values they were going to default to anyway, just type in there and then put it back to the original value so it sees they were "modified" and saves the values when you...
5. click [OK]
Apparently the installation defaults are not reliably saved in the first place. "Changing" them in the [Options] dialog will, however, reliably set them and that always cures this problem for our users.

The calendar http://calserver.sonnection.nl:8080/cal/dav/principals/[email protected]/ was not found on the server. Make sure the URL is correct.
Before the 'crash' this worked without a problem. However, there are no errors in the commands and calendar log files (during a connection attempt from within iCal):

Furthermore, since the crash my daily backup of the database fails, with an error:
Backup started at 201012222355...
Dec 22, 2010 11:55:01 PM com.sun.comms.davserver.backends.jdbcbackend.JdbcBackend getDatabaseName

The backup command I use is:
$SBINDIR/davadmin db backup -H localhost -u $USER -W $PWDFILE -d $DATABASE -k $BACKUPDIR/caldav.backup.$DATETIME
Any ideas where to start troubleshooting?

Yes, I checked. It seems to be running OK:

To make sure it is running properly I restarted via /etc/init.d/mysqld stop and start. The log file:

Nothing special?
