Cannot open Aperture - I have tried all you have suggested?
Hi
For some time, I have had some Aperture problems. It kept saying that there was no more room on my start disc for a while, and when I cleared some space, it seemed to help.....but not for long. Now I cannot even open Aperture, but I just receive this message: there was an error opening the database for the library..(and then the name of my library). I have looked at all the similar advice, and I even tried to repair aperture, but it won't do that either. I have also checked my disc, but it doesn't report any problems. PLEASE HELP!
Sincerely, Katrine
YES, it worked to create a new library -
That is very good news. It shows that Aperture is still working.
Try, if you can repair the old library by importing it into the new library. But that will require additional disk space. How large is your current library? If it is larger than 40Gb your free disk space will not sufficce to merge libraries. It would be best to use an external drive (formatted MacOS X Extended) for the new library.
To import the old library into a new library use the command "File > Import > Library".
If merging does not work, we will have to reconstruct a new library from bits of pieces of the old one, so keep your fingers crossed.

My granddaughter put the Start Up Disk in the drive inadvertently and now the drive will not eject it or start up using the HD. I have tried all of the suggestions for opening it that appear in the manual. Help? It is her computer, a iMac G3 or G4 with superdrive, the one with the ball shaped base. Thank you.
It's a tray loading drive, there should be a little hole next to it, just large enough for a paper clip. Stick the end of the paper clip in it and the tray should open.

When I try to open itunes on my school network windows Xp computer I get an error message with this code 0x80092013. I have tried all of the suggestions from apple support document but nothing has worked.
Have you left the iPod to charge for a couple of hours and then tried resetting it again? It can take up to at least 30 minutes of charging before an iPod with a dead battery shows any signs of life. By a reset, I assume you mean pressing and holding both the Select/Center and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear?
iPod won't turn on

Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8. Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software. Can you help?
How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
Aperture 3.1 Trial
and run Software Update immediately after installing.
Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8.
But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.

I've purchased an album through the itunes store and every track plays except one which continually asks me to authorise my computer. I've tried all the steps suggested above but still no joy. Anyone have any ideas what i can do next? Thanks Paul
Sounds like you have a "damaged track" or "damaged file".
This worked for me today downloading Kendrick Lamar's new Album "good kid, m.A.A.d city".
My situation: I bought the album today for my Mac, MacBook Pro, iPad 2, and iPhone 4S devices.
Issue: One song (only on my MacBook Pro) would not play, instead display "
EX: left"
Solution: 1. Manually delete the song (giving you the error) permantly from the authorized computer.
2. Open iTunes, Click iTunes Store (left sidebar), and locate Quick Links and then click Purchased to proceed.
3. Click "Not On This Computer", find the song that wouldn't play, and re-download it again.
4. Check your Music Library for your song (Should download inside the associated album) and hit play.
EX: (Song I purchased that wouldn't play because of authorization, playing)

Keep getting error code 2048 when trying to open wmv files, says realplayer cannot open with the installed version of Quicktime, any suggestions?
wmv is a Windows Media format. I don't know why Realplayer is coming into it since that deals primarily with Real format files and maybe a few generic formats.
You need
Free Flip4mac QuickTime player components - http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windowsmedia/player/wmcomponents.mspx
After installation a new Flip4Mac pane will appear in System Preferences. Make sure you set the boxes to ensure that it will play WMV files in Quicktime.
or play the files with VLC
VLC media player - http://www.videolan.org/vlc/ - general media player that plays just about anything.
While you're at it you might install:
Perian codecs for Quicktime - http://www.perian.org - plugins to add functionality to Quicktime for playing additional audio and video formats
Quicktime audio problems, Perian, VLC - http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9013669 - read note about uninstalling prior DIVX support before installing Perian.
Perian doen't do WMV but it's handy to get many things to play in Quicktime.
Note, if these are protected WMV, nothing on a Mac will play those (unless you also have Windows installed). -

As instructed in the If you have never synced your device with iTunes, or you do not have access to a computer section of the article, put it in recovery mode and restore:
Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to shut down.
While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
Continue holding the Home button until you see the Connect to iTunes screen.
iTunes will alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then restore the device. -
My iPad keeps crashing and I have tried all suggestions and they worked but not for long. Any suggestions? Very frustrated.
If you really tried all of the suggestions in all of the forums, there is nothing left to try. Make an appointment at an Apple Store and ask for their help. They have more sophisticated means of diagnosing and restoring than we have as device users.

I'm having trouble connecting to apps, itunes store, internet on my iPhone 5 running iOS 7.0.4. I am currently connected to a perfectly running WiFI connection. This just started happening today (2/19/14)! Why am I not able to connect anything? I've tried ALL the fixes suggested. HELP!!!!!!!!! BTW, I know my Wi-Fi connection is good because I'm using it on my desktop and other people in my office are also connected on their iPhones and desktops. Again, HELP!!!!
You may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPhone a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the "i" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). Next, reset network settings on your iPhone (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc. -
My iPhone 4 turns off (crashes) after accesing any apps, It work fine when plugged to charger (power supply). I tried all troubleshooting steps suggested by Apple but it doesn't work. I backed up my phone. I restored it several times. Even I re-installed iphone software. Also I restored it as a new iphone but doesn't work. What could be the problem and what are the availble solutions?
We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone. But Apple can. Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

I've tried all of the suggested solutions, but I still can't get my cd drive recognised on my laptop. If I delete the driver and reboot, the cd drive appears, but as soon as the driver automatically installs, the driver disappears into the Q: drive, which is not accessible and neither is the CD drive
I had the same or similar problem after installin iTunes 11 on my Acer Laptop with Vista. The new iTunes ran but I
completely lost access to my CdRom/DVD drive. Error Code 19 was displayed in Windows Device Manager. Found out
this is more widespread of a problem than expected. After trying several forum recommended fixes, the Only thing that gave me back my CdRom drive was doing a Windows Restore to a date prior to iTunes 11 install. I got my drive back but it also restored me to the prior 10.0.7.21 vers of iTunes which no longer worked due to missing files. iTunes help
recommended a Reinstall. I am reluctant to do that for several reason. That's where I am at for now until I find out if there are any other risks for using iTunes 11 vs. Registry Errors vs. Losing access to my CdRom drive. Brad -
What does the message "You have exceeded your license" mean? I cannot open aperture on my computer
I installed aperture on my lap top. I now tried to install it on my Mac Pro. I got a message saying I have exceeded my license, but it let me install anyway. Now there is a grey circle with a line thru the app icon and I cannot open. Can someone help me?
We have the boxed version
The licence for the boxed version allows two installations, one on a Desktop Mac and one on a portable Mac.
But when you install the boxed retail version on a Mavericks system and update it to Aperture 3.5.1, your licence for the retail version will be converted to a licence from the App Store and tied to your Apple ID. After that, your retail version registration key is no longer valid.
You have to download Aperture from the App Store and use the AppleID, you used when you updated Aperture to 3.5.1.
Do you have updated Aperture to 3.5.1 on one of your Macs? Then delete the crossed-our Aperture on your MacPro and launch the AppStore. Sign in with the same AppleID you used on your laptop. Open the "Purchased" tab and look for Aperture. Is it there and is the "Install" button available?
