Did my update to 3.3 change my Aperture display to a different version?

When I performed the update my overall format of the tools is different.  Is this to be expected? In the Inspector, for instance, the "Metadata" tab has been replaced by "Info". There is a "Loupe" icon upper right corner? Are you seeing this too?

I'd suggest to turn on the Activity Viewer, so you can see, what processes are taking up the time, and if they are making any process.
From Aperture's main menu bar > Window > Show Activity (⇧⌘0)
If you see, that Aperture gets stuck and doesn't make any progress for hours, quit the App and rebuild the Aperture library (if you have not done so already before upgrading).
To rebuild the Aperture Library:
Hold down the ⌥⌘-key combination while double clicking the Aperture icon to launch Aperture in "First Aid mode" and select "Rebuild Database" from the First Aid panel; if that does not suffice, try also "Repai Permissions".
Make sure you have a backup of your Library, before you do that.

Léonie

    Did this update make a physical change?
    No
    will this update confuse lets say, a parent that isn't savvy?
    This will depend on whether they are savvy enough to open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility on their Mac , click on the picture of the AirPort, and then click the Update button.
    It that sounds too complicated, best to let someone else handle the update.

  • Did DW update 8.0.2 change the code?

    I would really appreciate a look into this problem. I I have
    ordered some Interakt extensions and have noticed the code changed
    on me (see lots below). But then I went to another machine with the
    8.0.2 update with NO EXTENSIONS ENABLED or the Interakt installed
    and I get the same code change. I have posted this to Interakt as
    well so I am looking for a reason for this bizzare problem. I have
    a client who has already paid up front for a quite involved dynamic
    site and I cant get the folders, database and connections strings
    to work together like the site before the extensions and upgrade.
    Posted to Interakt:
    I have been at this for 5 days now and I am at a complete and
    total loss and do not have a clue why this is happening. But I can
    say that this problem started AFTER I installed the Interakt
    products KHTML4, Kollection3, MxCalendar, MX CSS Menus AND/OR
    DW8.0.2. - I don't know which came first.
    Several months back I created a web site
    www.bobbygainesfunktion.com - site works. I was not using the
    products or upgrade (pretty sure) upgraded DW, then I bought the
    Interakt products 3 weeks ago hoping I could make fabulous websites
    but I am not able to do the simplest thing like create a folder and
    link to the database ASPVBScript style. I keep getting a reoccuring
    error and the code has also changed in how the pages are created
    dynamically.
    I created the funktion site without the upgrade and the
    products - about 90% sure. I was able to create a folder and link
    to the database from inside it with no problem.
    The code is as follows for the page as well as its
    cooresponding connection file:
    PAGE
    BAND.ASP
    %@LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT"%
    <!--#include file="Connections/connfunktion2.asp" -->
    <%
    Dim tourlist
    Dim tourlist_numRows
    Set tourlist = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
    tourlist.ActiveConnection = MM_connfunktion_STRING
    tourlist.Source = "SELECT * FROM Gig WHERE GStamp >=
    Date() ORDER BY GStamp ASC"
    tourlist.CursorType = 0
    tourlist.CursorLocation = 2
    tourlist.LockType = 1
    tourlist.Open()
    tourlist_numRows = 0
    %>
    <%
    Dim Repeat1__numRows
    Dim Repeat1__index
    Repeat1__numRows = 4
    Repeat1__index = 0
    tourlist_numRows = tourlist_numRows + Repeat1__numRows
    %>
    CONNECTION PAGE; connfunktion2.asp:
    <%

    MM_connfunktion_STRING =
    "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" &
    Server.MapPath("data/funkdata.mdb")
    %>
    Band.asp is located in the root of the directory so the
    address to the connection file: Connections/connfunktion2.asp
    works.
    A FILE IN FOLDER CALLED ADMIN:

    %>
    Note that the addresses have changed for both the Map.Path
    and the include file to accomidate the folder.
    THIS SITE WORKS
    Now That I have bought the Interakt product AND/OR upgraded
    to DW8.0.2 I cannot for the life of me replicate this process.
    The following address is live:

    This uses the exact same method of connection file and
    database address change.

    Have I upgraded to DW8.0.2 since the creation of Funktion - I
    think. Could this be a Dreamweaver problem and not yours - I don't
    know. I would appreciate a good look into this.
    Thanks so very much,

    Part of the 8.0.2 update of DW8 was to secure recordsets to
    prevent SQL
    injection attacks. This has caused some problem with
    extensions that work
    with or create recordsets and extension developers have been
    working to make
    their extensions work with the new code.
    It was my understanding that Interakt had published updates
    of all their
    affected extensions for 8.0.2. I found this technote on their
    site that
    should answer a lot of your questions. If it doesn't, they
    have extensive
    forums on their site for all of their products.

  • File Associations Did Not Update and Cannot Be Changed To Photoshop CS6

    Changing a file association is a simple matter you either do it in Windows Explorer in the properties or just use the edit in command in bridge.
    Except that neither is working.
    Photoshop CS6 is not even showing up as an option in either Explorer or in Bridge but it is ironically working in Lightroom.
    So again before someone doesn't bother to read this: I know how to change file associations.  I know the normal steps and it should be easy.
    It is not working and it is a pain in the you know what.

    Yes I've been through it pretty thoroughly.
    It seems Photoshop failed to register itself when installed so now "maybe" if I redo all of the installations including Alien Skin, OnOne, DxO, etc it might work?
    This is really irritatingly buggy.
    It does not even show up as an option anywhere in Bridge presently that i can see.

    If you didn’t erase the drive and install using you AppleID, then the OS and the purchased apps are still registered to the other AppleID. You cannot change that by logging into iCloud. Apps are forever tied to the AppleID used to purchase/download them.
    You have to erase the drive and download/install the Apps using your AppleID.

    If that fails:
    Restore from your back up, repair the Library and try again.

  • I've changed my apple ID, but it did not update on my Icloud acct.

  • I have Firefox 5.0 and I noticed that in the Help-About 5.0.1 has been available. i did the update.. but after couplu of days the changes haven't been done and my FF changed to 5.0

    I have Firefox 5 and I noticed that in Help->About 5.0.1 has been available, So i did the update. Yet when I check in the About Firefox box it says I have FF 5 and it is up to date. What could be the issue?

    The update for Firefox 5.0.1 was only offered for Mac OSX due to fixes for the new 10.7 Lion operating system and to fix problems in Firefox created by Apple's recent update for 10.5 & 10.6. Windows and Linux Firefox 5.0 installations can't be updated to 5.0.1 - there's no need to update them.
    Yes, 5.0.1 is what is being offered as the latest version for download & fresh installation for all three platforms, because the full download version needs to be the same for all platforms due to the way that server works. Firefox 5.0.1 for Mac OSX is different than 5.0, but on Windows and Linux they are the same, except for the number.
    Yep, sounds confusing - I had to read the blog explanation 3 times before it sunk in why Mozilla did what they did.

  • Open quantity in Sales Order did not update after cancelling Reserve Invoice

    Client created Credit Memo with reference to Reserve Invoice but this did not update the open quantity in Sales Order. Client is using SAP B1 8.82 PL9. I tested this in SAP 9.0 and still same behavior. Is there a work around other than creating another SO?
    I checked Document Settings and "Reopening Doc by creating credit memo based on Doc" is enabled.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply. How will the client be able to make new reserve invoices from the SO? They are trying to make partial reserve invoices from the sales order. I already suggested to just change the quantity in the reserve invoice before adding. But I have doubt because the SO might close prematurely before they complete the quantity in the SO because open quantity is much less then the quantity in SO.
    SO Quantity: 100
    Open Quantity: 40
    Reserve Invoice 1: 60
    Reserve Invoice 2: 40
    SO closes before they can make Reserve Invoice 2

  • My distributed form has stopped working after Acrobat did an update the form no longer appears in my tracker.

    I had a form that auto collected data through Adobe but it has stopped working after my Acrobat X Pro did an update.
    The form no longer appears in the tracker. How can this be fixed? I am using Windows 7.
    It would appear that since Adobe are going to be closing the Workspace area in January 2015 that when
    Acrobat did an update the ability to connect to files in the Workspace has been removed.
    Is there any way to reconnect the file back to the Tracker?
    Has anyone else had the same problem?
    Adobe don't seem interested in helping as this question has been posted for three days and yet no response.

    First and foremost thing you can do it is that reset your Firefox and after that change it to safe mode.This may be happening due to venerable links getting downloaded.
    enjoy free web..... :)

  • I have a mid 2007 iMac w/ mac OS X Lion 10.7.5. My time machine (LaCie) is not responding through firewire port (since day one).  Did an update mess this up?

    I have just recently realized that my time machine has not backed up in a couple of weeks. I am using a LaCie external hard drive that I purchased with the iMac and has been plugged into the firewire port since day one.  When I try to establish a connection it only gives me airport utility.  When I look through network connections it shows that my fire wire is not connected or at least it doesn't find anything connected. 
    I have also been getting a start up disk message off and on that I need to close applications due to no more memory? (or something similar to that). 
    Just curious what might have changed.  Did an update re configure something? Are these two issues connected? 
    I have always loved my Mac for the fact that it just always worked.  I'm not super savvy with computers and the settings so I'm not the kind that just goes in to tweek things. This is the first real issue that I have had with it.  I would think that it was the fact that I upgraded to lion but I did that quite a while ago.

    Hello,
    It isn't the fw in Network you want o use or look at, that's for something completely different.
    My first suspect is the Power Adapter on the LaCie has gone.
    At the Apple Icon at top left>About this Mac, then click on More Info, then click on Hardware>Firewire, what is listed there?
    Reset the Firewire bus
    If your Firewire or USB isn't recognizing any device.  A solution which has worked for some whose hard drive became invisible in 10.4 was simply to follow these four steps to reset the Firewire/USB bus:
    1. Shut the machine down.
    2. UNPLUG the power lead to the computer and any firewire/USB drive or devices.
    3. leave it for 10 minutes.
    4. Connect back up and reboot.
