Editing in aperture is doing crazy things. I've read that it is memory leaks. Whats the cure?

Aperture is doing crazy things while editing like leaving spots on faces when using skin smoothing tool among other things. Closing and reopening fixes it but how annoying. I've read that it is caused from memory leaks. What do I do to fix this?

What is your Aperture version?
And your MacOS X version?
With Aperture 3 make sure you have the latest versions, Aperture 3.5.1 and OS 10.9.3.
The memory leaks you are referring to occurred with MacOS 10.9.1 and onscreen proofing enabled.
If yor versions are current, check your plug-ins for compatibility.

  • IPad does crazy things when not touched

    Basically, I'll be going along on an app or on safari or anything and then randomly my iPad will just start doing crazy things, and I can't do anything. So for example, I'll be on safari and then my iPad will scroll up to the top of the page, type in the address bar some random numbers and letters and just keep doing that. And then the only way (sometimes) to stop it is to lock the screen, but sometimes that doesn't even work and I then can't even unlock the iPad for a few seconds. I've tried restoring it but that doesn't do anything. Is there anything else I could try or should I just take it to a genius bar?

    You may need to get it back to Apple, but this is worth a try if you haven't done it already.
    Try a hard reset by pressing and holding down on the sleep button at the top of the iPad while holding down on the home button at the bottom, until the Apple logo appears and the iPad restarts. Launch any app, surf the net, whatever, and see what happens.

  • Aperture Crashes doing Simple Things

    Is there anyway to figure out the crash results mean when Aperature dies? Recently it has taken to crashing on me when I'm doing simple things such as just scrolling through the images looking for something.
    In the crash report the thread that crashed only has

    So there isn't a lot of human readable information for me to begin to troubleshoot. Is there a way to know if I have a hardware issue (possible) or software issue?

    played around some more, and it appears that if you right click things that's what kills it.

  • I have a restriction passcode that I have no idea what the passcode could be. I know that I need to reset the phone to factory settings but how do go about doing this without losing all of my contacts and other info, etc? (mainly contacts)

         At some point, I don't even remember doing this it must have been so long ago, I set a restrictions passcode on my phone. This has become a problem now because I have so many apps that I do not ever use that take up so much space I can no longer take pictures or put more music on the device. I have read that I need to restore to factory settings but that once I do that I cannot restore to a backup because restrictions passcodes are saved in backups. Is there any way for me to restore my phone to factory settings and then get all of my contacts and perhaps as much other data back as I can? I have tried every passcode I can think of for the restrictions passcode (24 times! to the point that ever time I try and fail I cannot try again for an hour. To say the least, this is quite frustrating as is limits what i can do with my phone on a daily basis, whether it be music or taking pictures and videos etc. Can someone please help me solve this problem without losing minimal data? I have already backed the phone up to my computer as well as iCloud. Even the woman at the apple store told me I had to restore it to factory but was too busy to get further into it and I didn't have a genius bar appointment. If all else fails I can make an appointment and go in there. I just thought I may as well ask on here first to see if there was a way I could do it myself. Thanks for reading and hope you can help me!

    You can't. Restoring new means everything is erased. If you have a backup made before creating a restriction code, then you can restore that backup, but none later.
    Placing your device into recovery (DFU-Device Firmware Upgrade) mode:
    Follow these steps to place your iOS device into recovery mode. If your iOS device is already in recovery mode, you can proceed immediately to step 6.
       1. Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, but leave the
           other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
       2. 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 turn off.
                  * If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the
                    Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off,
                    release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
      3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the
           device. The device should turn on. Note: If you see the battery charge warning,
           let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some
           charge, and then start with step 2 again.
      4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen.
           When this screen appears you can release the Home button:
      5. If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the following "recovery mode" alert:
      6. Use iTunes to restore the device.
    If you don't see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Additional Information:
    If you have a problem getting into recovery mode then try: RecBoot: Easy Way to Put iPhone into Recovery Mode.
    Note: When using recovery mode, you can only restore the device. All user content on the device will be erased, but if you had previously synced with iTunes on this computer, you can restore from a previous backup. See this article for more information.

  • Does "Itunes Match", Match CD's That are ripped but purchased outside the US

    Hi there this is my first post as the rest of the mac stuff i managed to figure out with the awesome community
    I have a CD that i purchased of a south african Band that i ripped in the Itunes and i know that South Africa doesnt have a music store coz i checked however the Album does exist in the Portugese store...
    Will this upgrade my rip or will they still have all the limitations that you can only Match this song with an account that has access to that country as i had to purchase these CD's Physically as i was unable to purchase it in the US on itunes.
    i have yet to use match as i find that there would be no point if what i actually want it to match wont match... i have albums that i bought from all over the world but want to be sure that it will match before i subcribe to the service?

    The tracks in your iTunes library will be matched against the store in which you have an account. You don't explicitly say which store that is so for the sake of argument let's say it is the U.S. store (since iTunes Match is currently only available in the U.S. anyway).
    During the initial scan of your library if the album by the South African band is available in the U.S. store, then it will be matched. If it is not available in the U.S. store then the files will be uploaded. ITunes Match does not scan other countries stores for matches. This will apply to all the music in your iTunes library.

  • Help-my ipod does crazy things

    Hi. I recently got my ipod and am having trouble. First, every other time I plug in my ipod to my computer it says that the program that is needed can not be found. I have reinstalled itunes twice, and restarted my i pod multiple times. I also bought music and more than half will not play. My ipod will be playing on any setting (shuffle,playlist,etc.)and when it comes to certain songs it just starts to skip them and go to the next...Any advice? It is driving me crazy.

  • DVD Chapters Doing Crazy Things...

    Hi All,
    I have a DVD which has 4 Episodes and a Menu. Each Episode has chapters. If the user is watching a movie and gets to the last chapter and then presses the remote to skip to the next chapter, the DVD automatically starts playing the next Epiode. I just want it to return to the Main Menu and the hit state to be selected on the next epsiode.... but not so that it starts playing automatically... Any ideas?
    Thanks Again!
    Tom

    I think what you are experiencing is the correct behaviour. When the chapter skip forward button is pressed the player skips forward to the next available chapter (which can be in the next track).
    Do you want to change this behaviour? If so, when you are in the last chapter of a track, disable the chapter skip forward button. Similarly, when you are in the first chapter of a track (representing an episode) disable the chapter skip back button - or the user will be able to go back to the previous track (episode).
    Fairly common practice, I believe.

  • Aperture 3 does not work well since installing Mavericks. Constantly have to repair the library database. Any suggestions?

    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently and also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library, which I have done multiple times. I also use Aperture for Photo Stream, and it is especially slow and problematic there. Any ideas? Should I just use iPhoto instead? I'm more familiar with the flow in Aperture and would need to learn how better to use iPhoto, so that would be a last resort for me.

    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion
    Aperture 3.5.1 is incompatible with Mt. Lion - you  must have had an earlier Aperture version running with Mt. Lion.
    also given me frequent messages that the database is corrupt and I need to rebuild the database library
    That message is prompted by the crashes. After a crash your library may need repairing.
    Aperture 3.5.1 was working well enough for me in Mountain Lion, but it seems that switching to Mavericks has made it slower, made it crash frequently
    Is all your software compatible with Mavericks? Plug-ins, external editors, preference panes, device drivers, video codecs? Did you install any other software, when you upgraded to Mavericks?
    Where is your Aperture library? On your system drive or external drive?
    Does Aperture also crash, if you launch it while holding down the Shift key?

  • What does Firefox team do to ensure that no change are introduced to the interface used by modules/pluig-ins/extensions ?

    Every time there's an update my plug-ins seem to be at risk and some of them are not free, I am running v29 and I will roll back to a previous version and turn off any update/upgrade features, too much waste of time on my side.
    I think Firefox team should learn to limit the changes they are doing specially if the interface with other add-ons is concerned. I worked in developement many years, I know it is fun and stimulating to introduce something new but it should never impact negatively the quality of the existing features so it requires discipline and patience, no place for impulsive actions.
    When I get an update, I do not expect it to be a beta that impacts existing features.

    Add-ons are developed by third-party developers, and as such there is no guarantee they won't break. We aren't responsible for them or for making sure the millions of add-ons in existence all work properly in every version of Firefox (If we were, we might as well give up on Firefox).
    That being said, we do try to restrict breaking changes to the code that Add-ons use. Sometimes it is inevitable, but we make sure to give add-on authors plenty of warning (usually 12-18+ weeks) before a change that might break their extension. We also automatically check every extension installed on our site for things that might not work in new versions, and every extension that passes (the vast majority) are default to be compatible with the new version without the add-on author having to do anything.
    Unless you have a third-party binary extension. These are commonly Anti-virus toolbars, etc. These extensions stop working with updates frequently. This is because these companies don't bother to read our notes of what's changing or to release updates for their software until after release.

  • After registering on the album starter Edition 3.0, I am getting an error message saying that windows internet explorer cannot find the website, to make sure the path or internet address is correct.  when i click ok, it all goes away, adobe and all.  Help

    I called tech support that switched me to customer care and after over half an hour on the phone, they told me to look it up in the forums.  If you have any words of wisdom, I would love to hear them now.  I guess I have to get through this registering phase to obtain the unlock code.  I am surprised at how faulty this step is.  I expected more from Adobe.
    Please help!!!  Thanks.  Lisa

    You need to update your starter edition 3.0 to a 3.2 edition. Go to www.adobe.com, click on "Downloads" then "updates", continue to look under "Product updates" and scroll down to "Photoshop Elements". Now you need to download the Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2. This update will automatically remove your 3.0 edition, and your photos will be accessible in the 3.2 edition. Now you can register again. Good Luck!

  • Does anyone have a PPC mini that goes to sleep based on the timer?

    Problem is that my mini won't go into sleep mode per the set minutes on the system preferences energy pane. I've searched and read the other posts on this.
    Configuration is PPC mini, Apple USB keyboard, Microsoft intellimouse, and Eizo CRT display. No bluetooth or other hardware. Latest Microsoft mac mouse driver (had same issue without current Microsoft driver). Hardware test doesn't show any problems, and there's nothing to indicate any hardware issues. Latest OS X update was done with the combo updater. Have reset the power management unit (PMU). Have not called Apple yet.
    With the sleep settings set on the energy saver pane, I've tried detaching the keyboard and mouse, together and individually, and that didn't change anything. What happens is that the display will shut off at the appointed time, however, the mini won't enter itself into sleep mode. I can manually put it to sleep by clicking blue apple, sleep or by pushing the power button.
    I'm scratching my head on this.....so I don't take it personally, does anyone have a mini that does go into sleep as scheduled? Appreciate any suggestions on anything else to look at.

    Doug,
    I had already started along that path, by removing the Microsoft mouse driver (which didn't fix the problem). However, starting the system in safe mode was a good baseline, as it went to sleep as it should - confirming a software-related issue.
    I figured it would actually be easiest to shoot this bug by starting from scratch with an erase and install. After each tweak (ie, turn firewall on), software add (ie, clamXav), or update to the system, I tested it's sleep ability. And I found the bug/issue.....checking 'enable firewall logging' under the advanced options on the firewall tab, in the sharing preferences pane. No kidding. Stealth mode and UDP can be checked, just not firewall logging. Dunno why, however, the world is now at peace, able to sleep as needed.

  • I uploaded photos from my camera card onto my desktop in a folder. I then moved that folder onto my dock just to make things organized, and now that I'm trying to open the folder, there is a huge question mark over it and wont let me see the photos.

    I am not sure whats going on! These were photos of my best friends wedding dress, and now they are gone. I erased them off of the camera card I was using from my boyfriend (probably a dumb idea), and now I can't "re-upload" them. Now I feel like I lost them forever. Can someone help??

    Shot in the dark.
    Did iPhoto launch? Check iPhoto and see if they in there.
    Did you put it on the right side of the dock where the stacks are? Check in Documents.
    A folder with a question mark usually means the dock item is no longer connected to an application.

  • Does passbook work for anyone? I can't figure out what the heck to do once I launch it.

    when I launch it it prompts me to go to the app store I assume to download compatible apps. I have downloaded a few and still nothing. This seems very odd for apple to release something that could be such a big deal and make it unuasable …

  • Memory Leak in edited images?

    I am using Captivate 4.0.1 Build 1658 (this means that the patch from May 2009 is applied) on Windows Vista.
    The following has happened to myself and at least 2 other developers.
    We edit a slide background image in Photoshop...when the  movie plays, a flash of the previously unedited background shows.  I have tried re-editing the background and it does not fix the problem. I have tried eliminating transistions and it does not fix the problem.  I have noticed that this happens when background images are edited in Photoshop as well as within Captivate when bitmaps are pasted onto a slide background and then merged into the background.
    I don't know if the correct term for this is a memory leak, but the closest mention of this problem I could find was here: http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/05/captvate_4_patch_update.html
    I appreciate any help resolving this.
    Thank you,
    Beth

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

  • Ok so i'm trying to do a conditional format on numbers if (cell a2) = greater than or text then make the same cell or another cell do something. Does anybody knows how to do that on numbers. thanks.

    hi I'm from Italy.
    ok so i'm trying to do a conditional format on numbers if "a cell" = greater than or text then make the same cell
    or another cell do something like insert a number or change color.
    Does anybody knows how to do that on numbers?. thanks.

    Among the things you'll learn from the User Guide:
    Conditional formatting can be used to change the style of the text in a cell and/or the fill colour of the cell.
    A formula may be used to set the value in a cell. In both cases, the format rule or the formula affects only the cell to which the rule is attached or which contains the formula. Neither values or formats may be 'pushed' onto another cell.

    Barry
