Help! Aperture 2.2 has become unstable.
I have all the latest updates. I have 6 Gb RAM and am running Aperture off of a MacPro (Intel). Aperture crashes several times a day. Things that are guaranteed to make it crash: use of the loupe, use of shadow/highlight, use of White Balance and I suspect my Wacom Intuous Tablet (I have the latest drivers for this as well).
What happens is that Aperture freezes and freezes up the rest of my computer. I occasionally get Kernal panics when running Aperture. I have fine tuned my Mac and I am not sure what else to do. I am running CS4 as my external editor, but the crashes started well before that. If I can't get this fixed, I am going with Lightroom 2 (I already loaded it on one of my Apple laptops). Does anybody have any thoughts on this? I do have all my images backed up multiple times, so I am safe in that respect.
Thanks!
I frequently delete plist files when things go bump in the night. make note of your settings and then trash the aperture.plist file.
As for possible 4Gb application limit etc., whether that is a restriction on Aperture (which I don't know but doubt) that is not a full reflection of the system as a whole. For example, what mix of different programs are running concurrently? The operating system will use memory allocation dependent upon the mix of programs and frequency of data re-accessed. Which is why more memory is often a good thing! (Note: The operating system, since its memory allocation system is 64-bit, can address 16 exabytes of RAM - although in reality, a mere fraction of this fantastic amount is designed into motherboards and memory controller hardware.)
That means it could be a poor RAM chip (not frequent, but it does happen), which shows up only sporadically
So whether Aperture is 32-bit or 64-bit memory addressing is somewhat moot, unless you have a bunch of very, very, VERY big images all resident in your viewer at one time.

My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?
My word, pages and email has become unstable any suggestions?
This happens during the creation of email or word/pages documents.Try starting in Safe Mode and see if the problem still occurs?
Restart holding the "shift" key.
(Expect it to take longer to start this way because it runs a directory check first.)
If this works look in System Preferences > Users & Groups > Login items and delete any third party login items (-), you can always add them back with the (+). -
Since upgrading to the Lion OS, Safari has becme unstable. It often fails (suddenly quits) when I attempt downloads from the internet. I did not have this problem when using Snow Leopard. Any suggestions?
Launch the Console application and look in "User Diagnostic Reports" for crash logs related to Safari. Select the most recent one and post the contents -- the text, please, not a screenshot.

Have 2 almost new Mac Book Pros & a 27" March '13 iMac. All are 10.9.4. Wireless backup for all had been functioning well until Maverick was installed in all three. Airport Extreme is my router, Express connected to Seagate Central 4TB ext drive wirelessly. Wireless sig levels are maxed out at all 3 systems & Time Machine is now unstable and Apple Care networking tech contact says my config is not supported. Will it be supported if I acquire the new Airport Extreme, replacing the older version? If not, what config will permit 3 systems running TM backups every hour to one backup drive?
Apple do not support Time Machine to the older Gen1-5 AE with a USB drive.
I am not even sure if they support Gen6 although they do now say it will work.
You would be better buying a Time Capsule than another AE.. it is much faster than using USB drives and Apple more likely to help you.. if help is possible on mavericks.
You will find a cheaper solution is to use Carbon Copy Cloner.. which can continue using your existing setup.. it costs $40 for a license to cover all the computers in your home. -
Recently my ipad has started to shutdown while in mail, safari and apps. Anyone have any thoughts or solutions?
Try any or all of these things. Start with the third one - close all apps. That incorporates a restart as well. If that doesn't help, reset the iPad - the second tip.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
Close all apps. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Quit/close open apps by double tapping the home button and the task bar will appear with all of you recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus (-) sign in the upper left corner to close the apps. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go to Settings>Safari>Clear History, Cookies and Cache. Restart the iPad. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button. -
Not sure you got my earlier message so I am posing my question again.
Having upgraded my iPad to the more recent OSsomething, my mailbox no longer receives or sends emails.
My wifi is fine, checked with my laptop which works fine. I have switched off the iPad many times but the problem remains. Can anyone help?First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
That's not the same as turning it off or on.
Another things to try is to reset your settings. Use the Settings app for this.
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
You will not lose data but you will have to enter all passwords again.
If the problem persists after the reset check your email accounts on the iPad. You could delete them and add them back. This is also done in the Settings app.
Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendar -

Doubly extended Airport network has become unstable
I have an ethernet-wired Airport Extreme generating a wireless network, extended twice by Airport Express units, with a TiVo wireless adapter getting feed from the 2nd AXpress. TiVo is located about 120' from AXtreme; that's the full length of the network. TiVo currently is receiving an IP address most of the time but is not receiving TiVo information, reporting "Gateway not found" (it has connected reliably in the past). All the Apple equipment is glowing green, both on the equipment itself and on the Airport Utility. All AX are running v7.6.3, my OS is 10.6.8 on a 2008 Mac Pro.
All stations are n-capable. AXtreme is currently set up to "Create a wireless network"; "Allow this network to be extended" is checked, Wireless security is WPA2 Personal.
Relay AXpress is set up to "Extend a wireless network." Should it be "Join a wireless network" or "Participate in a WDS network" instead? "Allow wireless clients" is checked. Security is WPA/WPA2 Personal.
Remote AXpress is set up identically to Relay; should it be different?I have an ethernet-wired Airport Extreme generating a wireless network, extended twice by Airport Express units, with a TiVo wireless adapter getting feed from the 2nd AXpress.
You cannot extend twice. Apple's "extend a wireless network" function works like the hub and spokes of a wheel.
Your AirPort Extreme is the "hub" and each AirPort Express resides at the end of a "spoke". The devices at the end of a "spoke" communicate directly to the "hub".....not to another device at the end of another "spoke".
You can have multiple devices extending, but each one resides at the end of a separate spoke, since it must communicate directly to the hub.
In your case, the 2nd AirPort Express cannot "extend", but it can "join" the network. It provides no additional wireless coverage when it joins, but the Ethernet port is enabled if you clicked that option in AirPort Utility.
The Express that is "joining" is going to have a tough time unless it is quite close the 1st AirPort Express so that it can get a good signal. If you think about it, you will realize that the wireless signal has to make two separate "hops" to get to the 2nd AirPort Express. Not good.
If you want the 2nd AirPort Express to "extend" the network, it must be physically located closer to the AirPort Exteme than it is to the 1st AirPort Express.
Never use the WDS option, (which Apple tries to hide for good reason) as it only operates at slower "g" wireless speeds and each relay or remote on the network cuts the bandwidth on the entire network in half. So, with a base station, relay and remote in a WDS setup, your network runs at about 14 Mbps. That's about where wireless "b" operates....very, very slow....about 10 times slower than a basic "n" network. -

I use MAC OSX Lion 10.7.5 which has become unstable when using Internet and Pages. Any ideas?
When using word, pages or email the cursor jumps around all over the document placing the typed information anywhere!
I am having to constantly rewrite emails and documents
Even writing this question has taken three attempts.
Any ideas what I can do to solve the problem would be really appreciated.
Could it be a keyboard problem (mine is wi-fi)?please someone answer!

As I mentioned, the program will not start on the first time that I click the icon. The hourglass appears for a second or two and then disappears.
I have to try at least 3 or more times before the program responds.
Should I try to uninstall 17 and reinstall 16.
I have already uninstalled 17 and reinstalled it.A possible cause is security software (firewall,anti-virus) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Suddenly I cannot keep Keynote from crashing. Appears that using guides is only common denominator.
Well for the record, in case this ever happens to anyone else ... on a flash of inspiration, I enabled spaces (it is not enabled on my computer) then explored the 4 spaces and found the Keynote window in a different desktop! Go figure ....

Suddenly iphoto gives me error message 'your photo library is either in use by another app or has become unreadable'. What can I do?
What version of iPhoto? Assuming 09 or later...
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Repair Database. If that doesn't help, then try again, this time using Rebuild Database.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

i am using iphone 4s ios6.1.2 ...my iphone has become too slow once i have updated from ios 5.1.1..can anyone help me to make my iphone perform batter
Standard troubleshooting...
Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Remove all apps from Recently Used list...
- From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
- Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
- Press the red to delete apps from this list.
- Press the home button twice when done.
If still a problem restore with your backup.
If still a problem restore as new, i.e. without your backup. See how it runs with nothing synced to it.
If still a problem, it's likely a hardware issue.
