Cursor Problem in Aperture

I'm new to Aperture. I suspect I have inadvertently turned on a feature that causes an information window to appear when I move the cursor over an image or Library item. The box appears without clicking on an item. There are times when this could be useful but generally it is distracting. Please help me to turn this feature off.

  • Problem Using Aperture as an External Editor

    I'm having a problem using Aperture as an external editor for iPhoto. I've set preferences to "Edit in Aperture" and selected the Aperture application. When I click edit a photo in iPhoto, Aperture fires up as expected, but it does not load my photo. Nothing seems to be exported from iPhoto into Aperture.
    I can export the same photo to my desktop and then load it into Aperture fine.
    When I set preferences to edit in CS2, this works fine, only Aperture seems to be the problem.
    What am I doing wrong?
    I'm using the following versions:
    - iPhoto 7.0.2
    - Aperture 1.5.4

    If you have Photoshop CS2 then you'd have a better editor using it within iPhoto as follows:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • XY Graph Cursor Problem in Labview 7.1.1?

    Hallo,
    I am  using Labview 7.1.1 and I am facing one problem with XY graph cursor. If I am moving cursor in one graph, I am expecting same movement in another Graph. But when I move cursor in Graph1, cursor in second graph moves but not to exact X value of Graph1.
    Property of Cursor in both graphs must be "Lock to Plot"
    If any body knows about this please let me know ASAP. I am attaching example VI for your reference.
    Thanks,

    It's a curious effect. Probably the floating point coordinate is sensitive to the exact pixel alignment (I mean that this would not happen if we had for example 1 pixel per point in the X direction).
    Anyway, if you use Cursor Index instead (which is an integer) the behaviour is as expected.

  • Green Box Problem in Aperture

    Hey All,
    I've been having a problem in Aperture 2.1.4. Every now and again, I get an ugly green box instead of my image. It can happen when I zoom in, when I crop, when I zoom out, or just about any time I am changing the view of the image. I'm on a 20" iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 3 GB of RAM and am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    I took the machine into an Apple store and they ran extensive tests on the video card and other hardware and everything checked out. Any idea on what's going on? It looks like this:

    Do as the above poster said (terence devlin) and submit a bug report to Apple. You can do it from within the program via the Aperture or File menu (forgot which at the moment).
    The short answer to your assumption is that yes SL does break the use of Aperture for some. (I am one of them). It is not necessarily the Aperture program update (2.1.4) itself as I have reinstalled Aperture on Leopard with all updates (10.5.8 and 2.1.4) and have had no issues.
    As far as I can tell, the problem lies in the card drivers, Snow Leopard Code and Aperture programming code regarding OpenGL and/or CoreGraphics.
    To answer your anticipated question about my trouble shooting:
    I have done (in no particular order) the font, plist, permissions, new user account, new library, rebuild library, vacuum library, visual inspection of the motherboard (internal) capacitors, voltage/current checks on power supply, new ram, new HD...it became a quest as you can see.... I changed system settings, tried hidden parameter settings, ran developer toolkit utilities to search for error messages and odd behavior. I ran console and watched each line by line message as I performed each Aperture adjustment/task (or at least tried to...)
    Finally I reinstalled both Operating Systems (Leopard and Snow Leopard) separately on new drives AND installed Aperture 2.1.4 with a 150GB 30,000 image library on each drive separately. No peripherals, clean systems. No haxies (I do not use them) Nothing but the OS and Aperture and the same library. Aperture performed flawlessly on an external bootable drive in Leopard but not in Snow Leopard..in fact it performed worse and I had the corruption duly noted above and elsewhere.
    In my opinion, Apple should be shamed for being so tight lipped about this. It is a serious flaw that should be acknowledged to users. But to admit this without a patch or software solution in the works is an unspoken implication to have customers purchase new computers for a fix.
    Anyone notice the released updates for Logic Pro (2 since the release of SL) and Mainstage (also 2 since the release of SL) and Remote Desktop (also 2 since release of SL).....you get the idea? Aperture? Zilch.

  • Problems using Aperture

    Hello,
    I have a MacBookPro and use Aperture on it. Have been using this for 6 months quite happily.
    Recently I purchased a 27" Thunderbolt display and have noticed a problem with Aperture.
    When I'm trying to look at an image (any image, I have 100s) using the viewer, the image is blank. (Using the loupe shows the louped part of the image correctly and the browser function works correctly as well). Looking at the screen on the MacBookPro at the same time is the same.
    If I disconnect the Thunderbolt display, the image is displayed as normal.
    I can recreate this at will - plug it in, no image in viewer. Unplug it, image in viewer.
    This fault does not occur when the laptop is on it's own, when a different external monitor is connected, on any other picture imaging software (that I have!), or on any other video application.
    All updates have been applied. Restarts have happened many times!
    Basically, it's all perfect, apart from trying to view an image, in Aperture, when the thunderbolt display is connected.
    Would appreciate any pointers
    Thanks

    Did you try the second screen options as shown here?

  • ResultSet wihtin ResultSet but causes cursor problem?

    I have a SQL error when running the code below:
    while(rs0.next()){ ...
    String s= rs0.getString(1);
    ResultSet rs=null;
    rs=getResult1(aConnnection, s);
    /*statment is created in the function and ResultSet returned */
    while(rs.next()){ ...
    rs.close();
    rs0.close();
    Error: java.sql.SQLException: ORA-01000: maximum open cursors exceeded
    The database setting is 200 cursors
    and rs0 has 300 records, rs has only one record each time. I thought there should be only 2 cursors involved, do not know how can get so many.
    Could some one help with my question?
    Thanks in advance,
    YM

    Rethink your design.
    If you let a method create a statement and a resultset, but return only the resultset, then there's no possibility to close the statetement.
    I would create the statement outside the method, pass it to the method to do the query and return the resultset, but control the statement in my calling code.
    So in your example you would hold references to 2 stattement just the same way like to their resultsets and close them all together.
    This is more clean, and maybe will solve your cursor problem.
    If you should come to the result that you would really need more open cursors (if your app runs on many clients at the same time, it could), there must be a DBMS configuration for increasing this limit.

  • IPad photo syncinc problem from Aperture

    Hi,
    I have a weird photo sync problem (Itunes 10.0.1, Aperture 3.0.3). Sometimes when I add a project to Aperture and an album under that project, I can't sync that to my ipad as Itunes doesn't see any pictures in the album.
    My Aperture library is huge so I'm not syncinc all of it, just selected photos. When I open iTunes, plug iPad in and go to iPad photos page, the project and the album appear in the list but if I check either one of those, the number on the right showing the number of photos in the album/project, is zero and nothing gets synced.
    Sometimes I've been able to fix this by restarting aperture and itunes. I've tried reprocessing previews (previews are 2560x2560) but it doesn't seem to help anymore.
    I've sort of localised the problem to Aperture. When I quit aperture, an information window "updating information for sharing previews" and a progress bar apperars. If this takes only a couple of seconds, then iTunes doesn't seem to detect any changes I've made. Sometimes it takes from 30 seconds to a minute and usually after that everything works.
    I tried to google this and others seem to have had similar problems but I didn't find a solution. Is there one?

  • Problem syncing Aperture to iPad

    Has anyone else had a problem syncing Aperture to the iPad after upgrading to Mountain Lion?  I have attempted to sync selected albums from Aperture, but no new images were transferred.
    Thanks -
    Dudley

    I agree, it appears to be screwed up. I've only been able to do limited tests, but it appears you CANNOT choose "Selected Albums, ...." WITHOUT specifying something other than 'no Events'. In other words, you can't simply select an album or smart collection, you MUST choose an event. And I've found even if I choose 'all events', I only get a small subset of the photos in the library included as part of the sync. What's an event, anyway? It's not part of Aperture's nomenclature. 
    This whole process looks pretty stupid to me, and I don't have time to spend with it right now. In the limited syncing I've done, I've always used the other way, i.e., NOT Aperture. Unless I'm totally missing the boat here, looks like I will have to continue doing that.

  • Strange flashing cursor problem

    Hi,
    I've just finished installing Vista 32bit on my Macbook Air (1.6) and its working fine apart from one small problem - when starting up it freezes on a black screen with a flashing cursor for 2-4 mins and then will start loading Vista fine. Once in there is no problem and its stable and what not. I have had a look at some on the articles on here and other forums and the flashing cursor problem usually refers to when people try to first install a MS OS and not once one has been installed successfully.
    I only have to boot into Vista every now and then and only for a few minutes at a time so I usually spend as much time in Vista as it does loading.
    Any help appreciated.

  • Some problems with aperture 3

    I have some problems with aperture 3...
    //1
    I updated my library with aperture 3, and export some projects for make another one, everything works fine, I can switch the library very quickly...but when I want change my background in snow leopard, the first library ( current default ) don´t show anything, seems like don´t load well, the "aperture" shows right but without arrow for open the hierarchy, and if I switch the library ( the second one ) the background can load this library without problems, works with all folders, projects...
    I repaired the permissions, database and rebuild database but nothing happens.
    //2
    The second problem I think is the same. In Mail, iWork, iLife...the Media Browser don´t load my main library, only the second one, I have the last update installed, and the second library works fine, why not the first?
    //3
    I imported some projects from the one library to the other, for adjust my pipeline and make much easy my workflow, but if I import, for example, 2 folders with 4 projects, aperture import in my library 4 folders and 8 projects, the imported files are duplicated O_O
    I see the same stuff inside the folders, and when I delete one of them, the aperture delete the 2 "versions", but in the trash I see only one of them xD and if I put back the folder/project, again I see 2 versions xD
    I "fixed" creating new folders/projects and moving the photos manually...( with some crush in the process ) any idea about this problem?
    //4
    This problem is more as a enhancement...what happen if I want to sync different projects from my 2 libraries in my iPhone?? because iTunes only show me the last loaded library
    Regards,
    Jonatan

    many thanks for the answer
    not being very computer literate i will try and answer your question
    1st i tried to download a "fix" from apple support for Aperture3 but after changing the file name to Aperture.app
    as suggested by someone on forum I got the answer
    The version of Aperture installed on this Mac must be updated through the Mac App Store. Check the Mac App Store to see if an update is available.
    by aperture is 3.2.2
    2nd in answer to your question,
    memory 2gb 667  Mhz DDR2 SDRAM

  • Problem with Aperture 3.6 Can't open Preferences

    I had a problem with Aperture 3.6; opened a new Library from the Vault, now cannot open Aperture Preferences. When I attempt to open preferences I get a very thin vertical line about 1 ½ inches long?? Any fixes for this/  Thanks, Vic

    Try to delete the Aperture preferences as described here at this link:
    Get help with Aperture 3 - Apple Support
    Steps to reset preference settings
    To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
    Quit Aperture.
    In the Finder choose "Go to folder" from the Go menu.
    Type ~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
    Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder.
    Restart your computer if you're using OS X Mavericks.
    The locations of your Aperture libraries are stored in the preference file listed above. If you have stored your library outside the default location of  ~/Pictures/Aperture Library, make a note of where the library is before deleting the Aperture preferences file. If you have more than one library, you can bring up a dialog to choose which one to load by pressing Option immediately after you open Aperture.

  • Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro lion, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

    Cs5 Brush cursor problem, on MacBook pro, tried the latest update, and the genious dude had no idea of what to do! Apple any fix?

    Additional Info - after working on this problem for 4 hours, I shut my laptop in frustration and took a break.  1 hour later I opened my mac and the cursor had magically returned.  No restart, no power on/off - nothing.  Frustration.  If anyone else has had this happen and has actually fixed the problem let me know. I'm sure it will reoccur.

  • Brush Cursor Problem

    Hello, I've been experiencing a weird brush cursor issue and I haven't been able to find anything online to fix it. 
    This cursor problem is different from the "chunk of cursor missing upon resizing" issue that so many people have had.
    In Photoshop, when I resize my brush using the "[" and "]" keys, I will  often see my cursor get distorted. It will very briefly appear to the  right of where the cursor should be and it will look kind of oblong.  Another distortion that occurs is the cursor very briefly becomes a half  circle that is a bit larger than the cursor should be. This usually  happens between 150px and 250px size and occurs with all brushes.
    I'm also experiencing a distortion when I move the brush cursor over to  the panels section. This distortion appears (again, very briefly) as a  broken up horizontal line just above the brush cursor. Also, within this  line, I can see the regular pointer arrow cursor. Sometimes I see two  arrow cursors within the line and other times just one. This happens  with all brushes of size 500px or less.
    I have updated my video card drivers to the latest version and I have updated my Photoshop with the latest patch. 
    I use Photoshop CS5 64-bit, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, and a Toshiba  Satellite L655-S5157 with an Intel(r) HD Graphics video card. 
    I heard about someone with a problem somewhat similar to mine and he  said he fixed it by manually deleting his preference files. He had tried  doing the shift+alt+ctrl on startup to delete his preference files, but  it didn't fix the bug (I tried it too and it didn't work for me  either). 
    I would like to try manually deleting my preference files, but I just don't know where they are. 
    Thanks for any help.

    For you (or anyone reading this thread), try to get a machine with an embedded ATI or nVidia display interface.
    Intel seems to be coming out pretty strong in the laptop market because they offer embedded GPUs in their chipsets, but Intel has a LONG way to go to get their OpenGL implementations up to par.  What I don't understand is that they've been known for having relatively poor OpenGL implementations for years now.  It's not like they're a small company who can't afford to fund a good development staff.
    To this day I'm still fighting Intel-specific problems seen by people running my own OpenGL software, where ATI and nVidia implementations are rock solid.  Stuff that's documented - such as handing off an OpenGL context between threads - just fails utterly with an Intel driver/GPU.

  • Cursor Problems in Adobe Edge

    Hi!
    I have this problem.
    I opened an Adobe Edge working file, run it and there are cursor problems in the latest Adobe Edge version. I was doing a drag and drop animation. Cursor problems did not exist in the older Adobe Edge version. I had to install the latest Adobe Edge Animate as the previous version had expired. This cursor problems of going hay wire after running it from the working file, has been going on for a few animations. And it takes more time and effort for me to rectify and debug the errors before continuing with my work. By the way, the .html from the previous Adobe Edge version works alright. It is only when I want to edit the working file in the newer Adobe Edge version, that it gives me all these problems.
    i hope someone will help me and thank you for your time.

    Hi OrionsEdge,
    I'm able to solve the problem. I looked through the codes and tried changing those parts which require the symbols' position to be changed through trial and error. If i'm not mistaken, it is related with the CSS.. it is tedious, but yeah, just change a part of the symbols' position first and try out the whole animation. observe and note down what are the changes. It will help you alot in your future code editings of the animations.

  • Vanishing cursor problem

    new imac 24' with a vanishing cursor problem, once or twice a day my cursor vanishes sometimes I can get it back by hitting the force quit shortcut keys at which point it will appear in the force quit dialog box, sometimes this does not work, at which point I have to reboot by holding down the power button, while in the force quit dialog box without the cursor visible i can use keyboard to quit all open apps and relaunch the Finder this has no effect.
    uplugging and replugging has no effect, plugging into a different port has no effect, using two different usb mice has no effect.
    I am using a logitech laser mouse that works perfectly on two other macs, the problem occurs with or without the logitech software running and also occured using the steermouse mouse driver.
    all software appears to be up to date using software update ect.
    cursor does not just become invisible, panning madly around with the mouse produces no effect in terms of opening the dock or whatever.
    Help please!
