Glitch with Aperture 2.0 install

Hello,
I downloaded the Aperture 2.0.1 trial and loved it. I bought my serial number online because I'm out of the country right now and was able to import my 1.5 library, but I'm having a glitch. Every time I open Aperture it creates a brand new set of the default smart albums, "Entire Library" "In the last week etc." Also, they have strange names which I'll list below. I'm hoping someone can help me with this.
090-entireLibraryQuery (1)
100-selectsQuery (1)
200-oneStarQuery (1)
300-rejectedQuery (1)
400-inTheLastWeekQuery (1)
500-inTheLastMonthQuery (1)
Thanks!

I had a similar problem compounded by every time I opened Apeture the smart albums would multiply. Suddenly I would have 10 versions of entirelibraryquerry (10) etc. Very annoying.
this workaround worked perfectly.
Thanks,

  • I have a MacAir installed with Aperture.  All my photo's are stored on exdternal drive. How do I upload all these to iCloud - some 50 GB and 10,000  photos? My iCloud has 200GB storage.

    I have a MacAir recently installed with Aperture.  All my photo's are currently stored on external hard drive in 100s of folders.  How do I upload all these photos in their folders to iCloud.  My iCloud storage is 200GB.

    Wait, until MacOS X 10.10.3 has been released his spring. The Photo.app for Mac, that will come with MacOS X 10.10.3 will make it possible to migrate an Aperture library to a Photos Library and store it in iCloud, so you can use it from all your devices, see this link: Apple - OS X - Photos Preview
    But Aperture libraries cannot by stored in a cloud storage. An Aperture library needs to be on a locally mounted drive, because aperture does not support remote access to the library. If you try to move your Aperture library to a Dropbox or on iCloud Drive, it will be corrupted by the network access.
    See Apple's recommendations:   Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

  • I still am having problems with Aperture not loading,  It just refuses to work, and I get the message saying it has encountered a problem, and I may need to re-install which I have done dozens of times. The fix mentioned on an earlier post wont work as it

    I still am having problems with Aperture not loading,  It just refuses to work, and I get the message saying it has encountered a problem, and I may need to re-install which I have done dozens of times. The fix mentioned on an earlier post doesn't work as it is for Ver 10.6.6 and I am running 10.6.7

    Do you have Final Cut installed on your machine?
    If so, you may want to look at this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3528

  • How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    How can I completely remove a plug-in from Aperture 2.4. Installing latest plug-in from HDR does not register with Aperture.

    It is not a good idea, to manually delete registry keys. Java uninstaller removes all registry entries that are needed to perform clean future installation.
    You might see some of the keys not removed by Java unistaller but they do not prevent any user from doing fresh installation of Java in future.
    Java removal tool is currently being developed, but that is for removing old/unsecure and unsupported Java versions. The tool isn't really intended to remove current/above security baseline versions of Java.
    Also, the tool does a standard un-install using msiexec /x. It won't specifically delete registry keys - it lets msiexec do it.

  • I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way?

    I ordered my Macbook Air with Aperture two years ago. I now have an iMac - can I use that with Aperture in any way? I appreciate that it is a different computer but I am now the end user of both devices and I was just wondering if it was possible.
    Thanks,
    Sean

    The answer would be in your software license agreement for Aperture. However if you cannot locate it you can ask in the Aperture forum, the link for that is:
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/professional_applications/aperture
    However I believe you can have Aperture installed on two machines however only one may be using it at a time.
    On the new iMac launch the Mac App Store - Purchased - look for Aperture and download to your new machine.

  • Few 5DmkII RAW files do not open with Aperture, but OK with other software

    Hi, I have two RAW files which I cannot import with Apple Aperture. The files open fine with Canon Digital Photo Professional, Raw Photo Processor and dcraw (and with various programs on my Windows 7 laptop) and I'm able to create TIFF files from the RAW files with every other software.
    Detail about the files:
    A. they are two first frames of burst (used auto bracketing, which takes 3 images in burst mode, to create HDR image)
    B. there is nothing strange in the files, they are normal RAW files and file size is normal as well (other 28.4MB and 32.7MB)
    C. both files process OK in above mentioned softwares and there are no blocks missing from created TIFF images, also preview JPG in the RAW file is OK
    D. Mac OS X Quick view (press spacebar in Finder) and Preview do show these two RAW images well (I assume they use the embedded JPG image)
    I have installed all the updates available in "Apple icon" -> "Software update..." function. Therefore I have Apple Aperture version 3.0.2. Computer is MacPro:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier: MacPro3,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 2.8 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 12 MB
    Memory: 12 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.6 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP31.006C.B05
    SMC Version (system): 1.25f4
    How I can submit the files for Apple to create fix? I searched for Apple Aperture support but there is only this forum, no email address or anything. Do they read this forum?

    Some clarifications and answers to your questions:
    First to Tony Gay:
    I try the feedback later today even they claim "Please know that while we do read these submissions, we cannot guarantee a personalized response.", which is original reason why I'm why I wrote this question here. The url you provided did not work but this should:
    http://www.apple.com/support/feedback
    This is not relevant to sRAW files, I did not change the between camera taking automated bracketed shots the image format for 2 shots to sRAW and took 3rd with RAW, that is not even possible.
    I have copied the images from card to hard drive, not trying to read from the card itself. However now you mention tried also from card = exactly same result. Tried desktop (different HD) and external USB and external eSata, all same result.
    Get info doesn't show anything wierd for the images. All other 192 RAWs from same shoot were imported with exact same methodology (as well as 60000 images before that).
    Then to gosuk2:
    There is no HDR setting in camera, I took the images FOR HDR, but did not use any specific setting, just used 1 1/3 stop bracketing and 2 second times when camera automatically takes 1 1/3 underexposed, correct exposure and 1 1/3 overexposed image (the order of images can naturally be changed via custom function in camera). All this is unrelevant since I shoot quite often HDR with this method (=more than 500 images each month) this way and they have always been fine before these two images.
    I see the files in import panel and I the don't use import dublicates setting so that doesn't affect the situation (why it would, Aperture things files are broken).
    Again HDR cannot be combined in 5DmkII, it's just automatically shoot 3 bracketed shots.
    No I don't get same result no matter what I do, it's just these two files. My other ~5000 HDR bracketed RAWs are importing fine as well as all burst/shots taken in continous shooting mode.
    I'm very aware how stacking of images works, but I do not understand relevance to this issue. I can not import the images at all to Apple Aperture, after importing all images Aperture displays dialog saying that following files could not be imported to Aperture, then displays list with both of these files in the list and gives possibility to locate the files in Finder.
    I have used Aperture since version 1 and I have 70000 images imported successfully to Aperture. Earlier I have seen this dialog "Aperture could not import image" only after hard drive/card failure. However then images cannot be used in Canon's DPP (Digital Photo Professional) or any other RAW software - now the problem ONLY EXISTS in Aperture all other RAW converters are able to open and process SUCCESSFULLY these images.
    So I'm not whining that Aperture is not good, but if it starts to work only part of the images in future and I have to process rest of the images with Canon DPP (that program is really lousy on usability standpoint) then I'm not so happy with Aperture anymore.
    Will report here if I get any comments back from Apple through the Feebback tool.

  • Errors/Glitches with my brand new Equium A200 15I (incl video hardware)

    Hi,
    I just treated myself to a new laptop last Saturday and have thus only had it for about 3 and a half days so far but I noticed a few small things that I weren't sure were errors/faults or if they were just because its new, such as the fact that sometimes I type things with the keyboard and some of the letters don't appear on screen, which I think is probably more to do with me not typing or pressing heavily enough on the keys rather than anything else, its not happening so much now...the touch pad gets a bit sticky too and it thinks I want to scroll up and down when I want to move the cursor not scroll sometimes but I manage to get it to work, I think most laptops have glitches like this and presumably I could help fix it by calibrating the touch pad(?) I haven't had time to look into that yet though... there are a few other things though and most worryingly just this morning I got a video hardware error message, so now im a fair bit worried/suspicious that there may be a real fault with it and would like to know if this is the case, whether its something I can possibly fix (im no real expert especially with hardware but I can always try downloading and installing updates/fixes and that sort of thing if it'd fix problems).
    The main thing which is worrying me most, is that this morning a message suddenly came up on screen, warning me that there had been a video hardware error, yesterday evening, which I clicked on a button I think to load more info. and I took this screen cap of it:-
    http://img528.imageshack.us/img528/724/errorscreencapcw1.jpg
    I thought it may help to show the actual full message rather than just trying and pasting the info., well ok to be honest I didn't notice it let you copy it to clipboard but oh well (oops lol).
    I know there's a topic about a similar error but I didn't want to butt in on that discussion as I presume that should be for that persons error to be discussed, mine may be slightly different I don't know... I followed the instructions given in that discussion and checked the device manager and no hardware faults are showing up there, btw it says in the device manager, under display adapters, that its a Mobile Intel 945GM Express Chipset Family, im sure all the A200 15I laptops have the same card but I thought I'd just clarify that. Incase that wasn't the right thing to check I also checked under 'sound, video and game controllers' (as the error said it was a video hardware error) where it lists the only one as being 'Realtek High Definition Audio' and I checked the properties there, on both under properties it says that the device is working properly, with no signs of any faults...
    The thing is, I had read online somewhere that there is some issue with the graphics or video cards. I'd read that they can be glitchy and sometimes break down after the one year. I'd also asked my dad about this and we checked that it was an Intel graphics card that came with this laptop, which it is, and we reckoned that Intel chips should be as reliable as any other brand really... so I didn't think that there should be a problem, though if there is I have until next September to get it fixed before the warranty expires!
    What surprises or kind of worries me though, is that the error message was only presented to me this morning. It dates the error as having occured at 19:53pm... I was using it last night and infact I went to have a shower and I put the laptop screen down before I went to shower at around 7:35pm, I presumed that its ok to just close the lid and it would automatically go into hibernate mode or something similar(?) im wondering if that had something to do with it, as I 7:53pm would have been roughly when I came back and lifted the lid/screen up again to use the laptop again... I can only presume, given the time it quotes, thats what caused the fault?
    It does give me the option to 'update driver software' and 'scan for hardware change' within the device manager, should I run both or either of those perhaps? is this a common glitch? should I be worried at all etc...
    Any help is much appreciated, if more info. is needed then let me know and ill clarify what I can. Also in terms of whats installed, I have quite a few programs, for graphics I have an old version of Paint Shop Pro which I installed yesterday morning, it seemed to install fine, thats Paint Shop Pro 7 from Jasc, I also have some converter programs (for vid files, 3GP and stuff), AVG Virus scan, Spybot Search & Destory, DBPowerAmp, FTP Commander, Quicktime and Real Player, fairly basic stuff like that, nothing much else just my old pics and vid files I transferred from my old XP laptop to this one, in my documents... I don't have any high powered or complicated games or anything else like that installed. Also at the time the video hardware error message states, all that was running when I had the lid down (or before I put the lid down) would have been Windows Live Messenger (though im pretty sure I signed out before putting the lid down) and an IE window, im pretty sure thats all, I wasn't working on anything else just checking the 'net...
    There are some other things I've noticed too that I thought perhaps I should mention(?), one thing I've noticed it doing is the screen going blank and then coming back very quickly, alot. I've already asked about this a day or so ago as by then I realised that it was only doing that before loading the 'Windows needs your permission to continue' window/message, which apparently its supposed to do and is something to do with the computer switching from displaying the normal desktop to the secure desktop, which I sort of understand lol.
    So I believe that isn't anything to worry about but I have noticed over the lastday or so, that the screen seems to do this more, going blank then coming back again, even when that permission message doesn't show up.
    For instance this morning when I first put it on and went to check my home page, I clicked on a link at the bottom of the page or wherever to load another page within the website and the screen went blank for a moment before coming back a second later with the requested page. Is this normal too? or a Vista related glitch, or is there a possibility there may be a glitch with the monitor? im guessing it may be more of a Vista thing but I thought I'd ask here just incase, I decided not to pay for any extra insurance/extended warranty as I'm very careful with my items and take good care of them and so I'm being careful to try and spot any faults early on while they may be fixable under the basic warranty and what-not...
    Another thing I've noticed is that to start with, when I pressed and held the 'FN' button, a range of black and white icons appeared on screen which told me which F button(s) to use to make certain adjustments, it still does that when I try it now but at other times, it doesn't show the icons, no matter how long I hold the 'FN' button down. That doesn't really matter since I can tell from the symbols on the keys on the keyboard which buttons to press but its just inconsistent, is there a reason why sometimes the row of icons on screen will show up when I press and hold the 'FN' button and other times it won't show at all?
    Also sometimes if I move the cursor right to the top of the screen, those icons load as they seem to always be located at the very top of the screen but sometimes this is a problem, if im trying to click on something else and one of those icons comes up instead... im sure you can switch this option off somehow but should I be worried that the icons don't always show when I press and hold the right button(?) just trying to be cautious!
    I think this post is long enough and I can't think what else I could possibly add to help, so I'll leave this here. I don't mean to seem too paranoid but thought it best to mention this stuff incase anyone recognises these glitches/errors and can recommend a quick way to fix any problems before they may develop into anything worse... many thanks in advance for any help with any of these issues!!
    (mods let me know if im wrong to include so many things in one topic, I kind of did this quickly and I apologise if im breaking any rules I don't mean to, if possible please break this into a few different topics or I can do this, though ill be at work frm 2-9pm today so might not be back and able to check here until Thursday morning (October 4th))

    Hi Isla
    Your message is really, very, very long. I think its too long to read it twice ;)
    . Regarding all your issues on this notebook well. it looks like you have installed many 3rd party programs and applications. In such case its not easy to say if such issues are software or hardware related. But I presume its software.
    I checked your screenshot pic but I have never seen such error message. But it looks like something wrong with the graphic card driver. The message says something about Live Kernel Event
    A kernel's services are requested by other parts of the operating system like graphic card driver for example.
    In such case I would recommend updating the graphic driver. According to you message its a Intel GPU. So you could check the Intel page for the compatible graphic chip driver.
    Regarding the FN key issue;
    The Toshiba FlashCard utility controls the FN key functionality. I have read in this forum that this application does not run smoothly and in some cases it causes some issues. The new update should solve the problems. You should check the Toshiba driver page. The FlashCard Utility is a part of the Toshiba Value added package.
    So finally one more hint:
    You should always check for the Vista updates on the Microsoft page. This OS is not perfected and Microsoft releases very often patches and fixes
    Hope it could helps a little bit.
    If necessary just ask for more info :)
    Regards

  • Just bought a dell pc with windows 8. on my old pc (vista) i would right click a movie (in itunes format) and say open with itunes and it would play. Now it won't open in itunes and it just CRASHES. HELP PLEASE. is there a glitch with win 8???

    okay not sure how this works so here i go again.
    Okay i bought a dell pc with windows 8 (big mistake) i downloaded itunes and from my external hard drive, right clicked a movie file (in ipad format, because this worked in vista on my old laptop) and it will not go into itunes. And itunes keeps crashing. Is there a glitch with win 8 and itunes ? I never had this prob with vista. I would right click a file and say open with itunes and poof it goes in the library. Please help before i throw this thing out the window! OH newest itunes is what i have installed.

    Take a look at this MBP, a refurbished unit.  Don't let the late 2011 release date put you off.  For about  $500 less than an equivalent 'new' one with similar specifications you get a quad core CPU and excellent graphics.  As Steve359 mentioned, this can be upgraded if the need arises and has the same warranty as a 'new' one
    I would not be surprised that these may actually be 'new' MBPs due to the length of time that they have been replaced by the current generation.  I purchased a 17" model about 5 weeks ago, and a serial number check suggests that it is 9 weeks old.

  • Imac (10.6.8) and Macbook Pro R (10.8) with Aperture??s

    I have an Imac with Aperture 3.2.4 that works fine on the current system (10.6.8).
    I just got a new Macbook Pro Retina for travel that has 10.8 on it  that I installed Aperture on, updated it to the current version,  and added a few photos onto it to experiment with. However, now it says I have to rebuild the Library for my old photos which "can't be undone." Glad it did it with just a few photos.
    My dilemma...IF I use this laptop on my trip for editing photos and return, am I going to be able to import them back to my Imac with the "old Aperture 3.2.4" or not? Or, am I soon going to be forced to upgrade my Imac to the more current OS system. I hate updating when everything works great!

    You will not be able to go backward.
    Once the library is updated (or you have a new library made with the new version of Aperture) that library will not open in the old version of Aperture.

  • Video Glitches with 10.5.2 & 10.5.1

    I've had a number of video glitches with my 2x867 MDD with the OEM GeForce4 MX (32mb) card, an Apple 15" Studio Display on the ADC port and an LG 22" LCD on the DVI port when using 10.5.2. I have not noticed them booting off the Leopard Update DVD. What I see is flashes of mostly white boxes with green or black edges. The flashes are fewer with 10.5.2 than they were with 10.5.1, but they're not gone.
    Also, from time-to-time, the LG monitor will be lost at boot-up. Nothing will display on it, System Profiler says there's only the ADC connected monitor, etc. even though the monitor shows that it's connected to the computer.
    Anybody else seeing this?

    I am Currently restoring my Power Book after a significant meltdown.
    Thanks for posting I too saw the shearing effect but shrugged it off thinking oh well I'll just reboot!
    If you are seeing this Buy a fire wire drive NOW and Back-up.
    I suspect the Video update changed a low level feature in the power management routines and this resulted in my Power book cooking itself.
    I've got a 12mth old Hitachi 7200 PATA drive in my Power Book after the Apple Drive cooked itself soem tim back and I have now got to back-up and restore my whole system. Luckiliy I have plenty of Big fast firewire drives around so I'm imaging the corrupt drive and going to run the Hitachi tool on it via a WINDOZE Thinkpad. Then a combination of clean install of 10.5.x and a migration assisted restore should do it.
    I'm really not very happy though! My Time machine image did not restore and the disk repair did not work. I have a corrupted asl.DB ( the log file for Apple System Logs) and the mac won't boot from its internal drive.
    I'll post the resolution here as it happens I'm at hour Disaster + 24 so I'm really cranky!
    I suggest If you have a G4 Power Book you resist the temptation to install the video update.

  • Question about setting up a workstation with Aperture 2

    hello, I hope I will get some help from here.
    I guess first I should list the things I have, this will make it easier. I have a Macbook Pro with 10.5.6, a Samsung 24" monitor, Aperture 2, Photoshop CS4, CANON Pro9000 Printer, and Pantone Huey Screen calibrator.
    So I already have both my screen (macbook Pro's and Samsung's) calibrated. My question is about how to correctly set up my printer.
    I went on Canon's website and try to download the driver for the CANON printer, But I see there is 3 different version for the driver, i am not sure which one to choose. One is for 10.3.9 and above, one is for OSX CUP (which i donno what it means).
    and do I need to install any of the canon software or plug-ins? I thought the printer color profile is in the driver as well. and aperture should pick that up fine. but for max quality printing, am i better off with the canon software? if so which one should i USE? Easy Photo Printing EX or Easy Photo Printing PRO?
    last... I guess it will be nice if someone can point me the right steps to make a print after I have done everything I want to in Aperture. if you guys can give me a step by step guides for printing from Aperture 2 to Canon Pro9000 with Canon Photo Paper Pro II. and is photoshop is must have in the printing process? I really would love to stick with Aperture as much as possible. but again, quality go first...
    Thank you for reading my post, and thank you even more for replying.

    Challenging, yes, here is a link to a podcast on the O'Reilly website, hope this helps, I found it very useful. I actually subscribe to the podcast (via itunes) and find that there are some great topics.

  • Language problem with aperture

    Hi all,
    I am new in aperture.
    After installing the software (downloaded from appstore), the software is in english except keywords.
    All the standard keywords proposed by aperture are in french.
    I removed the software, and even deleted preferences files and any other related file to aperture (except my library which was still in the pictures file).
    After that I made sure english language was on top of the list in preferences and removed any other language.
    Reboot my computer and reinstall aperture from the Purchase tab in the appstore.
    Finally, keywords are still in french.
    did anyone already encounter this kind of problem ?
    Btw, I am using a french canadian keyboard but I don't think this has an impact on the laguage of the soft.
    Thx !
    Ben

    All the standard keywords proposed by aperture are in french.
    Where do you see "All the standard keywords proposed by aperture "? In the Keywords HUD? The Keywords Controls?
    As Frank Caggiano says:
    Keywords are on a per library basis, the keyword file is stored in the library package and if you create a new empty library you will start out with a minimal default set of keywords.
    So a new Aperture library shoul start out with default keywords sets in the language you set in the system preferences. But an existing library will keep the keyword sets that were used, when you created the library. Also, any image you already imported will keep the keywords in the original language. And if you import images already tagged with keywords in a different language, the keywords will not change the language according to the new system settings.
    The defaukt keyword sets  shown in the Keywords HUD and any custom keywords you create are stored in the library, but not the default button sets of the Keyword Controls. So where are you seeing the keywords in French?
    Regards

  • Becoming frustrated with Aperture 3

    For the last month I have been using Aperture 3. I love all the new feature and I want it to work. I have own Aperture since version 1.5 and the story has always been the same. I use it for a while until I become very frustrated with its poor performance.
    When Aperture 1.5 came out I purchased a MAc PRo with all the bells and whistles just so I could run Aperture 1.5, after a few month I became very frustrated because its poor performance and I was forced to move to Lightroom 1.
    When Aperture 2 came out I was very excited thinking that Apple would finally figure out how to get Ap performance right. Once again, after a few month I was forced to switch back to LR 2.
    Aperture 3 finally came out and it seemed to be a dream come true. Its feature sets rock, but once again, after one month I may be forced to switch back to LR 2.
    What's more frustrating is hearing how many are running Aperture 3 with good (or at least acceptable) performance.
    This post is my last hope, my last attempt to Aperture sanity. Any suggestion about what may be going on is very welcome.
    I am running a MAC PRO 2 x2.66Ghz Dual-Core Intel Xenon with 11GB of memory. Aperture library and images (referenced) are in a RAID system (same place). The video card is an NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT. I am running Aperture 3.01 on Snow Leopard 10.6.2 with all the updated installed.
    Ap3 is running so slow at times that going from image to image after adjusting one it may take up to 5 seconds (enough for the beach ball to show up). AT times it even slow down the system. Forget about working on 100% zoom with any of the brushes.
    I just can't buy a new MAC PRO with every new version of Aperture, and, last time I did that it didn't make a difference, anyway.
    HELP! Before I give up.

    I agree with you that slow can be relative.
    I am a working professional and I need my equipment to support me and not get on my way. When I say slow is because I compared to my previous workflow, how much it takes me and the software to do basic, global adjustment... WB, Exposure, Black point, Contrast, definition, white recovery, and then go to the next image. I am not eve talking about brushes or sharpening. I know how long it took me using LR 2 and to that I am compare how long it takes me in Ap 3. I can tell you right now that the only thing that kept me yesterday working on Ap 3 is that I truly believe its RAW conversion is better than LR 2or LR 3 because the slowness is unbearable at times.
    And I say at times, because there are times that Ap 3 works just fine.
    Having a Hardware issue has cross my mind.
    The same HD that has the Ap 3 Library and images is the same on I use for LR 2. Yet, LR 2 does not have those issues. But I'll try the defrag suggestion.
    As far as a bad image, this is a brand new library and not a converted one. I created it from scratch. But again, I will try anything. Not sure how can look for a bad image, but what I can do is create two new library, one in my current working HD and one in another HD. I will first import a new project and see what happens. Then, I will export a project from my working library and import it. Let see what happens. I may defrag any way, but that may help diagnose if that is the issue or not, or if I have problems with the raid.
    One of the things that bother me is the inconsistency of experiences. I agree with you that for some it zip even in similar systems. For other the experience has been frustrating. That is weird beyond reason! Hopefully the more we keep doing this the more likely that we can get to the root.
    Thanks.

  • 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
    I have 128.53 gb free out of 319.21 gb
    hope that helps

  • Printing problems with Aperture

    I just switched from Windows (long story, many years) to an Intel iMac 20, with Aperture pre-installed. I had a Canon PIXMA iP 6000D printer; all prints had a yellow cast. I bought an HP Photosmart 7160; all prints have a yellow cast. I have done a format and re-install of OS X and all software. I have installed my Aperture software on another iMac 20 at the store; with my printer and the store's printer the prints had a yellow cast. I took my computer to the store and printed on their printer; all prints had a yellow cast. I get the same results printing from Photoshop CS2 for Mac or from Preview. I have tried several USB cables. My monitor is calibrated with a SpyderPro 2. Prints directly from a memory chip in the printer are fine. I've tried all the adustments in the print setup; no help. I'm working on the sliders now, but with seven sliders with 100 possible settings on each I think that's seven to the 100th power possible settings. Both printers work fine with my Windows computers.
    I've exhausted all the available Apple support. Anyone have any ideas?

    Well, to reiterate, I am using the HP printer as there is only room for one printer on my desktop. I am using HP paper, the "Advanced" type which is bar coded so that the printer recognizes the paper type and sets the appropriate defaults. I have also tried other HP papers, and selected them from the printer dialog. I have tried setting the paper type manually with the "Advanced" paper. I have tried printing with all the defaults left alone.
    When I said that I had tried every print option in the printer dialog sequence, I meant that in the printer dialog I had tried each of the paper types, each of the color options, each option under HP Colorsmart, several types of HP printer paper with the proper option selected. Under ColorSync, there are only two options here. One is "Standard" and the other is "in Printer" which is greyed out.
    Go down the print dialog. I have tried every option. Under "Paper Type, Quality" I have tried every option for paper type, quality, and color. I have done this systematically, using all available combinations.
    I don't know how else to describe the process Apple and I have tried to use to try to repair my problem. Name an option--I have printed using it.
    I tried the "sliders" as a possible way of altering the output from the computer to the printer, as I had exhausted all other possibilities, and if I could find the magic combination I could set it as the default and all my prints would be
    affected by those settings and print correctly. They appear in the printer dialog from Aperture. My photos print correctly if I copy the file to a Compact Flash chip and place it into the printer slot and print directly.
    Pardon me if I seemed snappish. I bought the iMac specifically for photographic work, have had it for a couple of months, have made several hundred prints, have exhausted support from Apple, and am grasping at straws. I have 8 GB of photos from my last trip which remain unprinted. Shortly before the trip I did two wedding shoots which were quite successful, printed from Photoshop CS2 under Windows. All my current photos print acceptably on this printer from my Windows computer. They are not acceptable printed from Adobe CS2 for Mac.
    Can I be more specific in what I have tried? Do you have a suggestion for something for me to try? Apple and I are grasping at straws, and would appreciate any help you can give.
