Canon G16 Raw File completly shuts down the computer

I am using Aperture3.6 and Yosemite (completely updated) on a 4 year MacBook Air.
I have used Aperture and macs for many many  years and have been shooting pictures in RAW and editing them in Aperture for 8 years. I have a huge library of RAW files in my aperture library. 
I have used Canon DLSRs for years and recently traded in my old Canon 550D for a Canon G16 (it is 5 days old!).  When I upload my pictures (RAW+JPG) into Aperture and try to edit or view them (not preview them) about 30% are corrupted (pink psychedelic or black). The others, I am unable to open. Aperture freezes up the entire computer and if I'm listening to music on iTunes the music starts crackling and stopping and then goes dead completely. I cannot forcequit the programs as the computer is completely frozen. 
I have changed HD Cards and taken it to the camera shop and they cannot find any problem with the camera.
I've noted on the forum that in 2013/14 peopole reported a few problems with RAW files from the G16 but since then the RAW Compatability has been fixed to include the G16, and it appears no one else is having trouble.
When I reopen Aperture and go to other projects I am able to edit and view tthose raw files with no problem whatsoever. I've created two new libraries as a test (aperture and iphoto) and the problem persists.
Can anyone give me advice as to whether this is a camera issue or a software (aperture/iPhoto) issue or perhaps my old air needs renewing. But it seems strange that when the new RAWS fromthe G16 are opened the whole computer freezes and even effects I Tunes!!!!
What the F?
Nate

after much consternation I have discovered that the problem is APERTURE.  Despite claiming that the program is compatible with the G16 RAW files it really is NOT.  I had to download Canon's own photoediting and viewing software....and guess what no problem at all editing, viewing any of the files.
I tried them in Lightroom too and guess what...no problem at all!
So although Aperture has been like an old friend it is time to say bye bye and make the big trek over the Lightroom! 
Sad but relieved.

  • I'm trying to delete a movie and it says...operation can't be completed because the item "     ".m4v is un use.  I've shut down the computer, closed out of everything etc.  I don't know what else to do?

    I'm trying to delete a video to free up space on my mac.  I've moved it to trash and when I try to empty the trash it keeps coming up with...."The operation cannot be completed because the item " .........  .m4v is in use".  I'm not exactly computer literate - I don't even know what the m4v is, but I've read some discussions saying to shut down the computer - which I did - nothing everything else I've found on the m4v is too technical for me to grasp.  Can anyone help me?

    Sorry, didn't notice that you cd'd into that directory. Can't explain why you can't delete it, but I don't do server or NAS stuff. You might want to repost to the Unix forum.

  • The new firefox twitter app is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

    The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.

    Eustace, thank you so much for writing back.  I will try what you suggested!!
    thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport).  I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault.  apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
    Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead.  I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
    anyway - that's THAT sad story.  I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed. 
    I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever.  I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!!

  • Does not start, but when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before sytem shuts down.

    I am having problems with Firefox. When I click on the shortcut, or the .exe file nothing happens. I check task manager to see if it is running and it does not show Firefox is running.
    But when I shut down the computer then the browser shows up right before the computer shuts down. I have tried starting the browser in safe mode and the same thing happens. I cannot give any troubleshooting info because the browser is not visible for me to click on help or any other button.

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • Attempting to download Maverick it has been running for nearly 24hrs. I have tried shutting down the computer but the setup assistant keeps canceling the shut down.

    Attempting to download Maverick it has been running for nearly 24hrs. I have tried shutting down the computer but the setup assistant keeps canceling the shut down.

    Just hold down the power button for about ten seconds and the machine will turn off.
    I'm not sure how fast your Internet speed is but my Mavericks downloads usually only take about 20-25 minutes for a 5.33GB file.
    No telling what will be waiting for your when you power back on... call back if you can't login to your computer.

  • Safari will lock up on my MacBook Pro. Force quit doesn't help. When I try to restart the computer, I get an error saying Safari cancelled the restart. I have to press the power button to shut down the computer.

    While I'm using safari,  it will freeze up. When I force quit safari and reopen it, I find that I'm back to where I was when I did the force quit and safari remains locked up. When I try to restart the computer, I get a pop up that says that safari cancelled my restart. I then press the power button to shut down the computer. When I reboot the computer and open safari, I see all the tabs and windows that were opened when this issue began, only this time safari isn't frozen. This problem started yesterday.
    Has anyone experienced the same problem? Is there a fix for this problem?

    Try Resetting Safari: Open Safari. Cick on the name Safari in the menu bar. In the drop down menu click Reset Safari.

  • Shut down the computer from a java program

    Hello!
    Can anyone tell me if can be made an java program that can shut down the computer (windows 2000 operating system) and forces all the programs to close?
    If it can be made, can you give me some tips?
    Thanks
    Kata

    That's possible
    but you don' really use java but Windows (only available for 2000 and XP)
    you should try that
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -s -t01") // stop
    }catch(...
    or
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -r -t01") // reboot
    }catch(...
    or
    try {
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("shutdown -l -t01") // logout
    }catch(...
    you're welcome.

  • Is it possible to continue downloading OS X Lion after shutting down the computer?

    I am downloading the OS X Lion app on my MacBook Pro and is only at 180mb after an hour. I am downloading this app for free because I recently purchased a MacBook Pro. Is there a way I can continue the download even after shutting down the computer? Will I be charged the next time I try to re-download the app--as in, will the code for downloading the app for free expire?
    Thank you SO much!

    I downloaded OS X Lion over the period of a day or so and what you have to do is pause the download (for a snow leopard user that should be in your dock) and then shut down your machine. When you boot it back up, you should be able to resume the download by clicking the OS X Lion logo and typing in your Apple ID info and the download should resume at the same spot where it was when you left it.

    How to remove black "blocked plug-in" window that opens with iPhoto. It covers iPhoto and everything under it. I've right and left clicked the black window, restarting the computer, shutting down the computer, but the window always appears when I open iPhoto and it will not move or go away. It stays on my screen (covering my desktop icons) even after I quit iPhoto. How can I get it off my screen?

    Which version if iPhoto and MacOS X do you have?
    Do you have any iPhoto plug-ins  installed?
    Open the folder /Library/Application Support/iPhoto/Plugins/
    To navigate to that folder, open the folder "Library" directly on your Macintosh HD, then inside the Library folder go to Application Support, then iPhoto.  Is there anything installed?

  • Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?

    When I started my iMac today, it started beeping like an alarm horn.  I shut it down, and held the startup button a little longer to get it to start.  Shortly after starting up, a dark 'film' slowly comes down over the screen and I get a message saying I have to shut down the computer.  I've tried to start from the disk, and before I can even run a repair off utilities, it happens again.  What's up?  Am I screwed?  HELP!!

    What you are seeing is a kernel panic, often but not always connected with a hardware or peripheral issue, so, unplug everything except mouse and  keyboard, reboot and hold the shift key as soon as your hear the chime, continue holding it until you see the Apple Icon and spinning progress indicator, then post back.
    It will take noticeably longer than normal to start.

  • I can't quit mail and thus, I can't shut down the computer. How do you "manually " shut down mail or computer (control-alt-delete in wintel world)

    I cannot quit mail for some reason. How can I shut it down?
    I need to do this before I can shut down the computer.

    To Force Quit a program go to the Apple Logo item in the menu bar and select Force Quit. Select the program from the list and click Force Quit.
    To Hard Power down it is the same as Wintel. Press the power button until the system Turns Off. Not the best solution but needed sometimes. Yes even on a Mac.
