Eeek! Help! Aperture will not start

When I try to start up Aperture from the Dock the icon gives a bounce but nothing happens. This is what the console log tells me is happening, but I'm not experienced enough to know what to do about it. I would be extremely grateful for any advice.
Thanks, Susan

No expert but from what I can tell theres some sort of bug or something in the PluginManager File as all the files appear to be there. Possible?

Aperture will not start anymore

I bought and installed Aperture 3 over the App Store.
Initial install and running the program was no problem.
Upon launch now, the application will not start, reporting that "Aperture cannot be opened due to a problem".
The message also says I may need to re-install the software. Well how?
I think this started to happen after I got my iPad2 and selected to sync photos from Aperture, but I am not sure about that.
Even a reboot and with no other started applications, Aperture will not open.
I am running a Mac Mini Server (I bought it new in december 2010 in the Apple Store), running OS X server 10.6.7

HELP : MacBook will not start !! Well, actually ...

Hello to you all Apple/Mac lovers ,
As the title said, my MacBook has gone wild. Here's the thing : I start it up, the gray apple appears and the spinning wheel under it. After an unusually long time of spinning, my computer ... shuts down. And that's it. Hopefully one of you will be able to fix it, usin the info below.
I tried to fix it, and here's what I did :
- I first used the Apple Hardware test (by inserting the installation DVD and pressing D on start up) : no errors detected.
- Then I used the disk utility (by inserting the installation DVD and pressing C on start up) : there, it said that there was an "Invalid sibling link", and that it couldn't complete the verification or repair because "The underlying task reported failure on exit".
- Lastly I used the "Startup Disk" application (found with the Disk Utility) and it first showed me 3 things : the Mac OS 10.5.3 folder from my hard disk (which is what it usually uses), the Mac OS 10.4.8 Install Disk, and then a Network Startup (but that's not gonna work). However it was quite late in the night so I chose the option "Turn Off" (in one of the top menus) and went to bed.
The next morning I repeated the previous procedure but this time the Leopard folder did not show up !! This is where I am at right now. Here are what seem to be my options :
- Re-install 10.4.8 (it will store 10.5.3 in a folder called "Previous System"). It says that I will not be able to boot from there anymore - is that true ? I should like to, because if the system needs to erase all data from my hard disk, then I will need to use my Time Machine backup from my external HD (and therefore will need Leopard).
- Wait for my dad to bring me the Leopard Install DVD (he'll be there next Sunday, 29th of June) from which I will be able to re-install Leopard.
Now I really do not know what is the problem - and if re-installing the OS will solve anything. There is still this strange Hard drive error - any idea if 1. that is the cause of the problem 2. what it means 3. If I need to fix it 4. how do I do that ?
Thanks for all your advice and time ,
#Charles

Your idea, Simon, seems best in my case. Now just out of curiosity - you say that I can recover all my files once I get back to Leopard using Time Machine, but will I also recover preferences/settings, from system preferences to application settings ? My question really is : is there anything I will not be able to recover ?
Anyways, now on to you adsfushi72. You say I need to get my "important files off the hard drives" - you mean I need to back them up in case my hard drive is broken and will need to be re-formatted in the process of re-installing, right ? Well the entirety of it is backed up on another, external hard drive, using Time Machine. The last backup was about 17 minutes before the problem appeared so all I could lose in the process is a few lines of text I typed in between. I love Apple ...
And how about safe/verbose modes ? What exactly are they ? I've used safe mode on a PC before, but I don't know how to start up in that mode on a Mac, what it exactly does or is, how to handle it, and why I would do that right now - I'm not saying I don't feel like doing it, I just want to know what information it could give me or in what way(s) it could help solve my problem. Same applies to verbose mode.
Lastly, a little update : Now when I start up my MacBook I see the Flashing "?" on a folder, which means it can't find a system folder to boot from - right ? So then I start up with alt/option pressed - and it does not detect any drive. When I insert the Mac OS X install Disk is only sees that. Is the invalid sibling link of my hard drive causing it to be unusable the system to boot from or what ?
The weirdest part is that now the hard drive seems to be absent. Before, it was there but I couldn't boot from it - since it seems to be damaged -, but now it doesn't even recognize or see it anymore. It seems the repair attempt is what made it change that way ... anyways thanks for all your ideas .

Help, safari will not start at all since update to newest version

Help, I am an admitted computer idiot- I always have had Macs because they are intuitive. My software updated automatically this week to the newest version of Safari, and now I cannot open Safari at all, I cannot even get to the Safari menu. I am using Firefox to type this - and I would rather use Safari as I am used to it. When I click on Safari the icon bounces up and down, then an error message appears saying that Safari quit unexpectedly, and do I want to send a message to Apple. I have clicked that message tab about 1000 times, no response.
Can someone help me fix this- using very simple instructions, thank you

We need to see a crash report, so restart Safari and when it crashes, copy the entire crash log and paste it into a reply window here. Notifying Apple is fine, but they will not respond, so you shouldn't expect that.

Aperture will not start without Internet

This question relates to Aperture 3.3.2
The cable company is doing some work on their lines behind my house. As a result my Internet connection has been up and down the past few days.
During one of the outages I tried to start Aperture and it wouldn't start. My only option was to force quit. I found a thread on this forum from someone having a similar problem. You can read it here:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4080091?start=0&tstart=0
That person had a MobileMe account enabled in Aperture that Aperture was looking for. Aperture couldn't find it during start up and it hung just like mine did.
In my case, I don't have any web accounts enabled in Aperture. I also don't use any plugins for Aperture. Places is disabled as is Photostream. I've already switched over to iCloud so my old MobileMe accounts shouldn't be playing a role in this. If there is something enabled in Aperture that requires the Internet I have overlooked it.
According to Little Snitch the only network connection being made during the Aperture start up is to MDNSResponder.
This morning the Internet was down again so I started Aperture. It wouldn't complete the start up process so I just let it run with the box "Opening Aperture library" on my screen. As soon as the Internet came back Aperture completed the start up process and all was well.
I've used Aperture since 2006 and have been through numerous Internet outages but have never encountered this problem before. What is Aperture looking for that requires an Internet connection on start up? How do I turn it off so I can work offline?

After full Time Machine restore, Aperture will not start

Aperture is the only application that won't run after a full restore from Time Machine. Any suggested fix?
I don't remember every using any Aperture CD's. It came installed on the machine and I've upgraded with downloads ever since. If re-installation is the answer, where do I get the download files?
Thanks,
Tom

Hi, you are not the only one to have this problem it happened to me the same thing. It was easy for me to fix because i had the disks i just installed over the top that was it. Without the cd key you are stuck you can try downloading the demo version again but i dont think that will work it may find your key and just install, download at http://www.apple.com/aperture/trial/ . Apart from that you say it was installed what on a new Mac ? if so contact apple and see they should have records of your purchase and help you out.

Help, Render will not Start?

Hello,
I mainly work with Edius but am using Premiere CS4 to finish a greenscreen project.
I have the work area set and when I go to Sequence-Render work area nothing starts to render.
The render dialogue box appears but no progress is made and when I go to "render details" no data is shown, just -- next to each line.
I have used Premiere back in the 1.5pro days, so I am familiar with the program.
This is a 1080p30 project with a 720p sequence if that is causing the issue.
Thanks for your help!

I mainly work with Edius but am using Premiere CS4 to finish a greenscreen project.
Not the best of approaches, since PR sucks for chroma keying. Keylight in AE or Ultra CS3 are much better.
This is a 1080p30 project with a 720p sequence if that is causing the issue.
In CS4 there are no project settings, only sequence settings and your best bet is to use sequence settings that match your source material.

Do you see a red bar over the timeline?

Help, Mail will not start

Hiya, I am relatively new to macs. (to my shame I am more familiar with pcs). I was using mail earlier today for work, and yet now when I try to open it, it immediately quits. bringing up a box "The application Mail quit unexpectedly'
I have tried restarting etc, but to no avail. Anyone seen this before? any ideas?
thanks,
sillyfishyboy

Hi Sillyfishyboy.
Does Mail crash immediately upon start up or when it starts to download messages?
If the former, the cause could be a troublesome message with HTML content that Mail tries to load every time it starts up. Try this:
1. Launch Mail holding the Shift key down until the main window appears. This should prevent Mail from trying to select any mailboxes or load any messages upon start up.
2. Go to Preferences > Viewing and disable Display remote images in HTML messages if it's enabled -- having this setting enabled is a really bad idea for spam-related security reasons anyway.
3. If the preview pane is visible in the main Mail window, drag the horizontal separator bar between the messages list pane and the message preview pane to the bottom of the window, or just double-click within the separator bar, so that the preview pane disappears and only the messages list is visible. This prevents Mail from trying to load a message when it is selected in the messages list pane.
4. You should now be able to select the message that's causing Mail to crash and either delete it or move it to another mailbox, to prevent Mail from accidentally trying to open it -- the problem could be a bug in Mac OS X that might or might not be fixed in a future version.
5. If you want to make the preview pane visible again, drag the horizontal separator bar up from the bottom of the window, or just double-click on it again.

IPhoto (and Aperture) will not start up when iCloud is activated. Programme stalls and have to force quit. If iCloud sharing and streaming deactivated, programmes load OK

IPhoto started locking up on loading having worked fine previously. If I disable iCloud streaming and sharing programme starts up with no problem and works perfectly. If I attempt to start iPhoto with streaming/sharing active the programme locks but if I then disable sharing and streaming it will then continue to load. There are no other iCloud problems with other programmes as far as I can see.

Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
Select Library from the drop down menu
Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.
Back up first, of course.

Aperture will not open- HELP!!!

Can anyone help me? Aperture will not open and I'm worried that I will loose over 35000 photos. When I try to open Aperture this is the message I get:
There was an error opening the database for the library “/Users/philcammarata/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary”.
Does anyone have any suggestions or am I just screwed?
Looking forward to hearing from someone.
Phil

OK good, version 2 on Mountain Lion would be dicey.
Do you have backups of the library? If you don;t now would be a good time to make one.
The first step is to run the Aperture library first aid procedures. Hold down the option (alt) and command keys while starting Aperture. This will open the first aid window. Now select and run Library Repair.
Once it is done post back the results.
Good luck

ITunes will not start up... Keeps giving Windows Error Message.... help!!

My Itunes will not start at all... When I try to start it I get a Windows Error Message saying below:
*iTunes has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.*
*In the Error Window The following is there...*
_AppName: itunes.exe AppVer: 8.0.1.11 ModName: quicktime.qts_
_ModVer: 7.55.90.70 Offset: 00990007_
Can Anyone help me as I can’t use my ITUNEs and am Handicapped when it comes transferring ITEM on and OFF my IPHONE...
Thanks

That error suggests you may have a QUicktime problem rather than an iTunes problem.
Have you installed any of the following:
ACE & K-Lite mega codecs package, QT alternative, Storm codec, WinAVI video converter, Mpcstar, (possibly starcodec pack, 3ivx)
If so uninstall them. They are bad news for Quicktime.
Then download the version of Quickime without iTunes:
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
Now Remove Quicktime using the method for Quicktime in this article (just Quicktime):
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
When you come to your C:\Windows\system32\ folder you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart you computer
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check if it starts.
If it does you are in a position to find out if iTunes is OK.

Hi, ATPMolloy.
I certainly understand your frustration and will do my best to help. I see you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes with no change in results. I have attached an article below that specifically troubleshoots this issue that you are experiencing.

TS1440 Flashing circle prohibition sign, Mac will not start. Help!

Hi there,
I need some guidance can some techie please help me!
My Mac book pro, 10.6 will not start, a flashing prohibition sign and a folder with a question mark appears on my screen.
I have shut down and tried thePRAM start up but nothing. I have snow leopard disk, should I re install. Will I lose all my data?
I recently updated iTunes and a day later my computer crashed. Any help would be appreciated.
Love,
Kind stranger

If your machine was upgraded to OS X 10.7 Lion or 10.8 Mountian Lion, then DO NOT PROCEED!
The 10.6 disks cannot be used for 10.7 or 10.8, if that's the case, then let me know as a different method is involved.
On the second screen booted from the 10.6 disk, under Utilities menu is Disk Utility.
Select your entire internal boot drive on the left, it should have a name and a size.
Click First Aid > Repair Disk and Repair Permissions.
If the drive doesn't appear on the left, it may mean it's dead or there is a broken connection between the drive and the computer.
If Disk Utility says "can't repair, backup and erase and install" then the drive works, it's that it can't repair the file structure, likely because of a failed sector on the drive (may be natural or caused by shock or failing drive)
However you don't have to erase if it says to do so, if the drive works mechanically the data can be recovered.
The drive may work fine if removed from the machine as well if it's not showing up on the left in Disk Utility.
If the drive doesn't work, then the data can be recovered if it wasn't Filevaulted, but the platter dissection required is expensive.
My computer is not working, is my personal data lost?
If the drive is repaired, do it again.
After the drive is repaired, Quit Disk Utiltiy and select Reset Password from the Utilties menu.
Don't change the password if your just repairing user permissions, instead select the drive at top and the account your having issues with.
See an area labeled Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the button.
After that, quit and your in the OS X install screen, select the boot volume and click Install, this will overwrite OS X 10.6 with a fresh copy.
Quit and restart, then when you log in hit Apple Menu > Software Update until clear, you should be on 10.6.8
Some third party programs may not work, you will have to reinstall them from original sources and make sure they are compliant with 10.6.8

Eeek! Help! Aperture will not start
