Help starting over in Aperture 2

I upgraded to a bigger hard drive, more ram, installed Snow Leopard and reinstalled Aperture after a major fiasco and have some questions based on what I've read here.
I want to set things up most efficiently prior to my first import.
1. Preferences? (Apparently from what I've gathered from this forum these settings will keep things more speedy)
Store library in Pictures Folder on internal hard drive and use Referenced Master which can be stored offline but you can still see the thumbnails to keyword and sort I just won't be able to edit offline?
Leave Create New Versions when making adjustments unchecked
Uncheck New Projects Generate Previews
2. I have a lot of images from a lot of different cameras. Some of them shot video. Everything was all mixed in when I used iView Media Pro but Aperture doesn't catalog video. I have not installed iView on this machine. Is there a way that the finder can tell me all of the different cameras I've used prior to import so I can move videos? I can't remember all of them. I no longer have access to those old catalogs because I was not aware of the problem until I overwrote that hard drive with Apertures Library. I think I can spotlight .avi, .mov ... ??? would that grab all of them? I have 11 years worth of digital imaging/video from at least 5 different people and who knows how many cameras.
Thanks!

Hi,

Want to clear images out of Aperture and start over

Probably a dumb question, but I "played" around with Aperture-- imported some images etc and even have a couple of projects.
However, after doing some study-- listening to tutorials I would like to start over.
How can I clear everything out without losing anything.
Thanks for any help you can give me

I found the vault getting rather large and in 1.5 you can have your masters in different folders or hard drives.
Under the 'File' menu you can select 'Relocate Master'. So select the project you want to move, choose 'Relocate Master' from the 'File' menu and Aperture moves the masters & versions from the Vault to the location of your choice. I gaind a lot of hard drive space doing this, relocating masters to another drive.

HT2371 I started to set up new ipad, I accidentally selected portuguese although I want the ticked default english that showed on first screen. Localisation screen came up (in portuguese) but don't want to continue in portuguese. How to start over? Helpes

Started set up on ipad. When I went to second screen, showing list of more language preferences I accidentally touched portuguese and this must have replaced the default, ticked, English option. Next screen, localisation, came up (in Portuguese) but I don't want to proceed in this language. how can I start over again. The ipad therefore is not set up with normal screen of apps etc. therefore I cannot change language back using this screen.
I also tried to Restore my Ipad to factory settings via itunes. You must update to latest version of Ipad software as part of this. The download is about 1 GB and takes 3 hours. Unfortunately when I try this on my PC it installs half the download then drops it - I have tried 3 times and it drops it after an hour and a half each time. I am hoping therefore there might be some simple way of setting up ipad that does not involve 'Restore and Update'. Very frustrated. Please help. Stuck.

If you press the home button it should come up with some options. One of them will be start over. Those options will be in the different language but you can try each one and via process of elimination eventually will get back tot the default screen.

Help! Starting Over.

I need help. I didn't understand how iPods worked when I bought mine. I didn't have a computer at the time so I set up my iPod up on my friends computer. I basically used his library so that I could at least play music until I got my own. I now have my own computer and and a library stored in my music folder. How do I start over from scratch so that my iPod is directly linked to my computer and so that I can transfer songs from iTunes to my iPod. Thanks for your help in advance.

Here's iPod FAQs

Help, make the program start over

Hi!
I want to make this program to start over, an something is wrong, but I can not figure it out, this is new to me. the program is in swedish, but I will try to explaine the functions.
If you type in zero (0) the program will halt and ask for a value greater then zero. However when you type in a greater value, it will never do the actual calculation. If you from the begining type in a greater value it will do the math. Can anyone help me to correct this.
Plattform: mac and eclipse, with latest updates.
Java code:
import static javax.swing.JOptionPane.*;
public class sf?r {
     public static void main (String[] arg) {
     String indata;
     indata = showInputDialog (null, "Ange radien i sf?ren du vill r?kna ut Volymen och Arean");
     double radien = Double.parseDouble (indata);
int three = 3;
int four = 4;
double pi = 3.14;
double volym = four*pi*radien*radien*radien/three;
double area = four*pi*radien*radien;
while (radien <=0) {
     indata = showInputDialog (null, "Felaktigt v?rde, Ange ett v?rde st?rre ?n 0");
     radien = Double.parseDouble (indata);
showMessageDialog (null, "Volymen ?r " + volym + " Arean ?r " + area);
System.exit (0);
Martin

   while (radien <=0) {
     indata = showInputDialog (null, "Felaktigt v?rde, Ange ett v?rde st?rre ?n 0");
     radien = Double.parseDouble (indata);
} this test for 0 is after you do the calculations:
double volym = four*pi*radien*radien*radien/three;
double area = four*pi*radien*radien; you need to test for 0 before the calculations.
just FYI, when posting code, there are "CODE" tags (look at the top of the posting window). It'll make the code much easier to read

Time Machine won't connect to sparsebundle, wants to start over. Pls help!

I was in the midst of a 40GB iTunes Folder recovery, when it stopped after 5GB.
Now, when I go to Time Machine preferences and connect to the backup drive, it wants to start over rather than "reconnecting" to the old sparsebundle.
I've double-clicked the sparsebundle to open it and see that all my backups are in there... but of course, they're backed up in increments. I need to know how I get Time Machine to continue with the backups it already has.
I'm using Mac OS 10.6.7 on a MBP 13". Time Machine is being used on an Airport Extreme with connected Air Disk (WD hard drive). I know this may be officially unsupported, but I've had no problems with it for the year that I've been using Time Machine to back up and recover various files. I don't think anything is wrong with the sparsebundle other than it isn't seeming to want to reconnect to it.
I would really appreciate your help. I would hate that I started replacing (and lost) an entire 40GB iTunes folder for the silly reasons I'd wanted to restore it.

That's likely the cause of the problem, and is the reason we advise against it -- it may work, for a while, but sooner or later, the backups tend to turn up corrupted.
Try repairing them, per #A5 in [Time Machine - Troubleshooting|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/Troubleshooting.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum).
If that doesn't help, you might be able to view and restore from the backups in that sparse bundle via the +*Browse Other Time Machine Disks+* option, per #E2 in Troubleshooting.
Whether you can recover the data or not, you're playing with fire. Please see #2 in [Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions|http://web.me.com/pondini/Time_Machine/FAQ.html] (or use the link in *User Tips* at the top of this forum), for supported destinations; and #27 for advice on "secondary" backups.

When trying to download a rented movie directly from iTunes onto iPad it NEVER finishes downloading. It constantly starts over. HELP

When I try to download a rented movie directly from ipad it never finishes downloading. It starts and gets close and then starts over again. HELP

Two possible reasons:
1. Not enough space
2. Slow internet

Help! Need to start over with iPhone 4!

Got the phone, looks fine, started setup using old 3Gs--ie, made the call to the number below and typed in the number I was activating. Well, then realized the service might not know I was activating a replacement phone, though there was some question addressing that issue, and I quit that activation and set out to call the AT&T number on the new, unactivated, phone, thinking maybe it was rigged to go ahead and call this one number even though it was not activated. It did that and almost instantly a popup arrived saying my new phone was activated.
Charge your phone/device following the instructions provided in the user's guide.
Power on your phone/device.
Call 1-866-499-8008 Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m.–9:00 p.m. Eastern Time or Saturday from 11:00 a.m.–8:00 p.m. Eastern Time to activate your phone/device. You may be asked for any of the following information:
Wireless Phone Number
AT&T Premier Order Number
15 digit IMEI number
20-21 digit SIM card number
It DID NOT ask any of these other questions above.
Well, the 4 seems to work for calls, but the Internet is ridiculously slow, way slower than my 3Gs, and iTunes put NONE of my apps back onto the new phone after I (laboriously) backed up the 3Gs in iTunes 9.1. Of course I had to upgrade to iTunes 9.2 when I attached the iPhone 4.
So, w/o any of my apps, and with slow or no functionality on Internet, not much 3G at all, what I'd like to do is go back to square one, start over from activation. Is there any way to do that?
Also, for some reason the phone is constantly asking me for the Voicemail password,even when there is no Voicemail and I am not trying to pick up Voicemail.
I ordered thru AT&T (as you can see from the instructs above) so any advice would be welcome as to how to start over, get my apps onto the new phone, and have the thing run at least as well as my 3Gs.
Thanks for bearing with me thru this labored description of the problem. I hope it's reasonably clear.

Hello, I reset my device and I reset the password on Apple website, then I went to start over my device, but it gives me: "Incorrect Apple ID or Password", though my ID and password are working perfectly on Apple site. I need your help. Thanks.

Hello, I reset my device and I reset the password on Apple website, then I went to start over my device, but it gives me: “Incorrect Apple ID or Password”, though my ID and password are working perfectly on Apple site.

Thanks for your response. I'm a 100% sure that I have not bought stuff in the store with multiple IDs. At most I have switched the country stores as I have two credit cards from two different countries. The number of IDs showing up when I click skip are no less than 20-30 and counting. Not a single ID do I recognize in them except mine which shows up in between somewhere. Putting my password leads me to another enter your password screen for an unknown ID.
Is there anything that can be done?

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.

I am writing to this forum to ask for help in determining whether Aperture will satisfy my needs when I switch from Windows to MAC in the near future.
I am currently using Photoshop Elements 8 on Windows 7. After several years of use, I am self taught and adequately proficient for an amateur. What I didn't realize (until I started researching my upcoming migration on the Internet) is that I actually use PE8 for two functions: digital asset management and digital editing.
Regarding Digital Asset Management: My research leads me to understand that PE on MAC does not provide the same level of organizational capability that I am used to having on Windows, instead providing Adobe's Bridge which does not look very robust. Furthermore, iPhoto, which come on MAC will not support the hierarchical keyword tagging that I require to organize my library of photos. The two SW applications which I am thinking of switching to are either Aperture or Adobe's Lightroom. Frankly, I'm thinking that it would be smoother to stay within the Apple product line.
So the remaining question is whether Aperture will support my digital editing needs. The tweaks that I do to my photos are not very complex (no, I do not want to put people's heads on other animal bodies). But could someone who uses Aperture tell me whether It will allow me to do the following kinds of edits?:
- If I have a photo where someone's face is too shadowed, can I lighten just that person's face, and leave the rest of the photo as-is?
- if I have a photo where the background is cluttered (eg, 2 people in front of the Parthenon which is undergoing renovation), can I remove just the construction cranes?
- Can it splice together several separate photos to give a panoramic?
If, once I get Aperture, I find that it cannot enable the kinds of editing that I do, I would probably get PE11 in the future. However, if people in this forum tell me that Aperture will definitely not support the kinds of editing which I've described in the previous paragraph, I would prefer to get PE11 with my initial configuration (since someone will be helping me with my migration).
Thanks in advance for your consideration and help!

I am concerned, however, about using a non-Apple Digital Asset Manager in OSX. I would really like to avoid integration problems. Is using PE11 to import and catalog my digital photos likely to cause conflicts?
Thanks for any insight on this
Amy,
Not so much conflicts as maybe a little less seamless integration with Apple software and perhaps some third-party software providers in the Mac App Store where some programs build in direct access to iPhoto and Aperture libraries for getting images into those programs easily. Typically, there is a manual command to go to Finder (think Windows Explorer) to browse folders.
One caution to mention however, is that the organization you set-up in PE Organizer is unlikely to transfer over to either iPhoto or Aperture if you decide to change at some point.
The only real stumbling block that I see in your opening comment is that you want hierarchical keywording (Kirby or Léonie can go into the details on keywording limitations as I stay at one level). If you can work with the keywording schemes of either iPhoto or Aperture, then using PE for your external editor (either program supports setting an external editor) would probably be ideal since you know PE well. This is the idea with the Mac App Store version of PE (editor with no organizer).
Note - I use Photoshop CS6 (full version) with Aperture and it works really well. The only downside is that Aperture has to make either a TIFF or PSD file to send to an external editor so that the original file is protected by not sending it to the pixel editor. While TIFF or PSD files protect the integrity of the image information without degrading it, they are typically much larger file sizes on disk than either RAW or JPEG files. Therefore, your library size (iPhoto or Aperture) will balloon quite a bit if you send a lot of files to external editors.
One other possibility for an external editor would be a program called Pixelmator. It is pretty similar to early versions of Photoshop, but built for Mac. Other than the panoramics you want, it will do most pixel editing that PE can do. It is not an organizer, so it is built to go with either iPhoto or Aperture. It does have differences in how you complete certain procedures, so there is bit of a learning curve when you are used to doing it the Adobe way.
