Expanding Aperture Set-Up advice; Also is itafe to drag Aperture 2 App to my new (2nd) boot drive in M Pro or best to re-install from original Aperture disc?
1) Both Boot drives in my M Pro are Leopard. Also same - drag or install question with respect to iPhoto, etc apps from the old boot's Applications folder or from the Applic'ns Install DVD... ?
2) Also, my overall plan is to retire the old boot drive soon, keep the 120 gb ssd lean, store recent libraries in other Mac Pro drives with external back-ups in form of 2 vaults per library plus 2 copies of masters, with 1 of each off-site; plus Time Machine in external for non-photo related. Have pretty close to 900 GB of photos, 700 GB of Libraries, all managed ( thinking I better do some serious deleting!) and double that in Vaults. After leaving a 20% margin, I'lll have 2 TB internal storage and 3.2 Tb in 1 good, new OWC external. It's been suggested I partition it in 3 sections: 1) Time Machine, 2) storage, 3) a bootable clone of the (boot drive?) here I'm out of my depth, as you probably already knew! I'd appreciate any advice at all, especially about the bewildering number of RAID solutions, and especially keeping cost in mind - wish I could afford the Maserati solution!
Thanks for your interest and help!
Just a short note on the installation:
Pro apps like Aperture cannot be installed by copying; you will have to run the installer from the original installation media, and I'd also install the iLife apps this way.
The answer to your question with respect to the best choice of disks I'll leave to our hardware experts; if you browse this forum you will find some recent discussions on the best disk solution to be used with Aperture.
One thought so. You are planning to partition your drive to use to partitions for backup: Time Machine and clone. This will allow you to restore your images in case of accidental deletion or other software errors, but it will not help, if your drive fails - and drives will fail some day. It would give you a much better protection, if your backups were on separate drives.

Elements 13 expand version sets
Just installed PS Elements 13 and cannot expand version sets. I can go into Editor and open the original of the version set, but when I save that photo, it replaces the existing one in the organizer. Geez.
Well, I discovered the problem. Under "View", you must check "Details" to get the version set expansion arrow.

Error #17530 "An errof occurred attempting to expand 'Aperture.mpkg'.
I have encountered this error when trying to expand Install Aperture. It happened with another install I tried, I just don't remember what.
Is the problem with stuffit expander? I'm not sure but I can't expand and use this software that I just purchased.
Help.AFAIK, the Aperture.mpkg doesn't need expanding, just double-click it, and it should automatically run the Installer app located in /System/Library/CoreServices/. If that doesn't work, then I suspect that your LaunchServices database is mucked up. To rebuild that, copy & paste this one-line command into a Terminal.app (in /Applications/Utilities/) window and hit the return key:
*/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchS ervices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user*
If that doesn't do the trick, try dropping the .mpkg onto the Installer app. -
I just had to reformat the external hard drive that houses my iPhoto library, then restore it from a backup. Now Time Machine is telling me my backup hard drive suddenly does not have the space to complete a backup. I also noticed when I go in to Time Machine, there are only about 5 backups recorded on the ext. hard drive. There were many more before. Any idea what happened and if I have to buy a new back up hard drive?
Hallo Kieth ,
I am not quite ready to restore the full iphoto library , as I have days of work re - imputting titles,descriptions and enhancement . I hope that your suggestion works , as I use my Macbook basically to work with digital photography. Through time , I will need to delete my library to recover more disc space and I would hate to have to spend more time re - imputting titles and descriptions all over again .
Thanks for your interest and advice.

I have an iPhone 4S and the latest Apple TV, both setup with my email address as the Apple ID. I subscribed to iTunes Match so our music could be played from iCloud. I gave my wife an iPad 3 and set it up using her email address as the Apple ID. When I try to turn on iMatch so she can play our music from iCloud on her new iPad it tells me that she needs a subscription to iTunes Match. Is it Apple's intent that we would need two iTunes Match subscriptions? If not, how do I accomplish what I want to get done?
The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
and the iTunes Match services.
(I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
and
iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.
(See also: Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4895) -
I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.
Hi Lrwill,
If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
Cheers,

Fresh Install after boot drive crashed... advice needed plaese
So wake up today turn on my tower and all I get is a grey screen and a clicking boot drive. Sounds like the other three drives are mounting fine. Or my tower is need of some Snow.
So I know enough to say bye bye boot drive.... my question is-
I now have purchased Snow Leopard and will start fresh. Should I take out the remaining three drives while I handle a clean install. Any advice to make this process a bit more painless? I back up all drives expect my boot UGH... I am going to start using time machine.... learned a lesson.There's no way to know how long a delay will be while waiting for a 'time-out'. It depends on how well or how poorly the OS is able to communicate with the drive, and how bad the controller chips on the drive are. You can view the problem as a Quality of Service issue. Your Mac is trying to communicate with the drive, determine it's size/type/format/timing etc, while also verifying the quality of the data. CRC error checking takes place along with a host of quality control measures implemented with each new version of Mac OS. Leopard made some drives fail due to poorly designed firmwares on the controller chips. SL got even pickier.
During this process, that's failing, the problem could be any part of the driver verification system.
On the other hand, if the drive quits spinning or the controller chips don't answer back at all, the 'time-out' will probably end sooner.
It's luck of the draw when you try to determine the exact cause of a drive failure - controller chips, drive motor, head crash platter damage, r/w head... I just call it 'bad' and throw the drives into a bin where they will get speared with a digging bar before going to recycle -

When my daughter got her first iphone we set it up with my email address, she now has her own email & new iphone. I want to use my email address for my icloud, can I delete the content from the icloud account and continue to use my email?
Yes, but be sure she is on a separate iCloud account with a separate ID before deleting anything. Be sure there is nothing that you want to keep on your device too. When you delete the data from iCloud it will be deleted from all devices signed into the account. Then you can delete the data from the existing account by doing the following:
To delete the contacts, go to iCloud.com from your computer, log into your iCloud account and open Contacts, click on All Contacts on the left, to the right click on any single contact to select it, click on the Actions (gear shaped) icon at the bottom left and choose Select All, then press the Delete key on your keyboard.
For Calendars, open the calendar on icloud.com, click Edit on the bottom left, then tap the minus sign to the right of each calendar to delete it.
For Notes, open notes on icloud.com, click on each note on the left, then click Delete at the top to delete it.
For Reminders, open reminders on icloud.com, click on each reminder and press your Delete key to delete it.
For Mail, open your mail on icloud.com, click each folder on the left (such as your inbox), click on a single message to the right, press Control-A on your keyboard to select them all, then press your Delete key. Repeat this for each of your mail folders except Trash. When finished, click on the actions (gear-shaped) icon on the bottom left and select Empty Trash.
If you also want to delete your iCloud backups you can go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup>Manage Storage on your device, tap the name of your device under Backups, then tap Delete Backup. -
Brand new iMac, Aperture installed from Mac AppStore crashes on startup
I installed Aperture 3.0 from the Mac AppStore yesterday, but it crashes immediately on running, with this message:
Dyld Error Message:
Library not loaded: /Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager
Referenced from: /Applications/Aperture.app/Contents/MacOS/Aperture
Reason: no suitable image found. Did find:
/Library/Frameworks/PluginManager.framework/Versions/B/PluginManager: no matching architecture in universal wrapper
I bought my iMac a few days ago. There's a few apps installed, including Final Cut Express 4.0 - installed from CD - which given all the other threads I've read with the same crashing message, may make a difference.
I used the Aperture troubleshooting basics (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805) - let me explain each step.
- I just bought my iMac, brand new last weekend, if it doesn't meet system requirements I'll eat my hat
- It wasn't the first thing I tried, but I have since run a "Software Update" which included updates for both Final Cut Express and Aperture... after they installed, I rebooted and Aperture still crashes on startup with the same message
- The Aperture first-aid-tools are irrelevant I'm afraid. If I didn't know any better, I'd say they didn't work at all - as holding Option/Command while starting Aperture makes no difference... but I suspect the crash happens before the tools get a chance to run
- Time Machine backups would also be irrelevant since this is a fresh install (what does "Restore the Library" mean anyway - what library?)
- Restoring Aperture back to its original settings is irrelevant since I haven't changed any
- I tried reinstalling Aperture, exactly as described. I deleted Aperture from Applications, went to the Mac AppStore and redownloaded it; rebooted; it still crashes in the same way
Here's more of the message below... and yes, as you can see, I've tried more than 50 times ;-(
If I have to reinstall the OS, I might just as well get a refund. I'd love to solve this, but I seriously hope reinstalling the OS is not required.
I just spent 3 days solving an issue where I couldn't download any apps from the AppStore at all, so please let me sell an iMac to my mother without explaining how long it takes to download 1 app and get it running on a brand new machine !

How to set the default boot drive
I have three boot drives on my Power Mac G5. One is Tiger on the internal factory installed drive. The second one is Tiger on an external SATA drive. The third is Leopard on the second external SATA drive.
When I boot the Power Mac, by default, I want to always boot Tiger on the external SATA drive, but when I boot the Power Mac the system seems to want to always default to the Leopard drive.
I've booted using the startup disk choice in System Preferences, but is that the correct way to set the default boot drive or is there some other way to set the boot drive preference?
My only other idea is to just reformat the Leopard drive, but I would still like to have a bootable Leopard just in case I want to use that.
Any advice?

I have been storing my Aperture and IMovie Libraries on an external hard drive that recently died. Fortunately I've been using Time Machine to back up to a 2nd external drive. How do I restore my libraries to a new external hard drive?
This is a tricky one.
Open up Time Machine and go back to a date using the timeline on the right side of the window when you know the drive was working and was backing up as part of Time Machine backups.
Click on the name of your Mac under the Devices heading on the left side of the window in Time Machine, and if things are working correctly you will see Macintosh HD (or whatever you have named it) and the name of the external hard drive that was backing up in the past.
Right-Click on the name of the external hard drive and then click on "Restore (name of drive) to....." You may be asked for your adminstrator password at this point.
It might be easier to restore the drive contents to your desktop if you have room on your Mac, and then copy things over to the new external drive where you want to store the Aperture and iMovie Libraries.
Once the libraries have been moved over the new external hard drive, you will likely need to "point" Aperture and iMovie to the location of the libraries on the new external hard drive. -
I have set up my new iPad 2 on my computer (Windows 7), but experienced syncing problems from the start. It seems that although my iPad is regognized in iTunes as it appears there, it only gives met the options to set up as a new iPad or restore from the backup, no synching options. What do I do?
File>Devices>Transfer Purchases will transfer the itunes purchases to your ocmputer.
You should sync your ipod to your computer regularly.
