How can I move projects out of aperture and save elsewhere

When I restart Aperture it is continuously busy 'processing' unless I rebuild the library each time; that's time consuming and annoying. I think I probably have one (or more) somewhat corrupted images and I liek to isolate it/them. I though one way to try would be to save e.g. projects somewhere else and then delete from Aperture; repeat until it's OK. Maybe there are better solutions? If not, how do I save parts of the library and bring them back later after finding they are OK?
Thanks,
Alan

Thtat definitely looks like you have a corrupted image somewhere.
If you have the "continuously busy 'processing'" at start-up, then probably some recently imported image is corrupted.
What I usually do to track down the culprit is to defer the generation of previews on start-up:
Press the Shift key immediately after you start Aperture to prevent preview generation for that session. This should take care of the "processing". Then systematically select some of your most recently imported images and try to update the Previews for them (Aperture menu bar -> Photos-> Update Previews). If Aperture stalls/crashes again, then you will know that the culprit is among the most recently selected images.
Inspect these images careful in the inspector (launch Aperture again with the shift key held down) and look if any one of these look suspicious (file format, size, filename or version name). E.g. I once managed to crash Apertue  by importing a 2GB file, or b importing a file with invisible characters in the filename.
Remove the suspicous files and see if this solves the problem.
If you have the photo stream turned on don't forget to check the PhotoStream or your MobileMe albums for corrupted images.
To answer your question:
If not, how do I save parts of the library and bring them back later after finding they are OK?
One way to do this would be to export Aperture items (albums, projects) as a new library (File -> export -> Project/album /  as new library. This will preserve all edits, keywords, tags, folders, etc.
Later you can reimport this library and merge it with your current library. (File -> Import -> Librar/Project)

  • How can i move photos off iphone 4s and free up space?

    I have utilized dropbox and other storage options, but looking for a faster, easier method of removing photos from my phone and freeing up space.

    Import them onto your computer. If you've got a windows, you can plug your phone into your computer and using the autoplay feature, you can import the photos onto your computer. This will allow you to delete the photos from your phone, but still have them on your computer.

  • In C#, how can I detect an opened PDF file and save it into disk?

    he WebBrowse componente in C# opened an PDF file inside. The file came from the Internet. So, the Adobe Acrobat Reader was called and opened the file correctly. I want to save this file to disk. How can I do it?
    The WebBRowse component does not have access to the PDF content.

    PDFs are not designed to be editable. Your engineers can make comments using Adobe Reader without any extra steps provided they use the highlight and sticky note comments. If you want them to have access to the full range of comment markup you will need to use Acrobat to apply extended rights to the file.

    If this is a Flex app, you will only be able to select a file from the local machine and upload to server, you won't be able to open the file in the Flex app, due to security sandbox.
    If this is an AIR app you will not have this restriction.

  • How can I move pictures within an Aperture library?

    I am asking about how to manage files within a library - not doing backups, exporting, relocating or anything like that.
    I just want to move a file from "project" to "project/folder". Moving can usually be accomplished with drag&drop. However here it does not appear to work. There most be another very obvious way to do it (Though for an Apple product I kinda expected d&d to work .

    The first step to figuring this out is to realize that masters and versions behave differently when you go to move them.
    The second step is to figure out what each type of container in Aperture can hold. That is Projects, albums and folders can all hold different things.
    To really get a handle on all this see the User Manual (Aperture Help or online at  http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/)
    The short answer to your question is that folders hold other folders, projects or albums, They do not hold images directly. So what you are trying to do can't be done.

  • How can I capture a single video frame and save as an image in PS CS6 Extended?

    I have checked similar posts on this subject, but I have a problem doing this:
    I "File>Open" a video clip [.m2ts file type] into PS CS6 Extended.
    PS sets the "Pixel Aspect Ratio" for "HDV 1080/DVCPRO HD 720 (1.33)"
    PS then warns of "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" for preview purposes only, and that it should be turned off for maximum image quality.
    I advance the "Timeline" to the specific frame I wish to capture.
    I simply "File>SaveAs" for a JPG image - as has been suggested.
    Both the On-screen and saved images are grossly pixelated at 1440 x 1080.
    Furthermore, the saved image is an incorrect aspect ratio - regardless of how I have the "Pixel Aspect Ratio Correction" set.
    It produced a jpg image size of 1440 x 1080 at 635 KB.
    I clearly do not know what I am doing...
    Have I missed a process - either with the file type I open, or once opened in PS CS6 and set to the desired frame?
    Adobe Bridge will display each frame in a high-quality preview - which I could be happy with, but found no capture/save tool there.
    I went back to the software that came with the video camera and saved a frame image from the video clip just fine.
    It produces a jpg image size of 2304 x 1296 at 2.63 MB with the correct aspect ratio.
    After you stop laughing ... can you let me know what I really need to do to get the correct result in PS CS6?

    Place the playhead on the frame you want as a still. Then in share window choose location Save Current Frame. You can then select options such as Jpg, PNG etc.

  • How can I MOVE some projects from one library to another?

    As the aperture library grows quite big and I want to split it into several smaller ones. How can I move projects from the old library to a new one without export them and re-import them all again? Is it possible to retain all adjustments after migration?
    Thanks!

    You export the project by CTRL / Right- click the project and choose 'Export' > 'Project'. The same if you go via the file menu.
    Every adjustment you made, books created, albums etc. will be kept in the exported project and are available again when you import it to another library.

  • How can I move my Events and projects to an exterior disc?

    How can I move my final cut events and projects to my external drive?
    I have already copied the folders Final Cut Pro Events and Final Cut Projects to a LaCie 2T drive, but I hesitate before emptying the trash on my laptop, afraid that FCPX will not be able to see my projects/media.
    I am running FCPX 10.0.5 on a MacBook ProRetina with version 10.7.5 OS
    Thanks for any help you can give me.

    In that version, as I recall, you can simply move the projects and events from one mounted drive to another working from within the FCP UI.  Since you've already  copied the files, see whether they open. You may need to use the Organize (or Consolidate – can't remember) command if your files are not all within the moved event.

  • How can I move a photo from one project to another

    How can I move a photo from one project to another without creating a duplicate so I have the same photo in two projects.
    I seems to me in the past when I moved the photo from project 1 to project 2, I would get a number showing the # of photos being moved and you could drag and drop in the 2nd folder and the photos would disappear from project 1 and show up in project 2. is there a setting I am missing.  Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    Any suggestion?

    Now when I drag and drop the photo no red # shows up and the photo stays in project 1 and also shows up in project 2 apparently creating a duplicate.
    The projects are the basic containers.  Each image and all its versions are in exactly one project.
    You can use an image in many albums, without duplicating it, also in many products like books, screensaver, slideshows.  But the projects are the basic structure of the library and you cannot have the same image in two different project, without duplicating it by storing the same original image files twice. Use albums to organize your library thematically.
    Sorry, I misread your question.   Dragging an image file between projects should move the image and all its versions to the other project.  Aperture should only duplicate the image, if you hold down the alt/options key while dragging and move the image otherwise.
    Which Aperture version are you using? And which MacOS X version?  Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro with Retina display, Mac OS 9.2.x, Aperture 3.5.1" still valid?
    In Aperture 3.6 on MacOS X 10.10.1 dragging between projects is still working as expected:
