How can i use an aperture library on a 2009 white macbook?

I made a set of 6 Aperture libraries on my MacPro Westmere using latest version. These open on my MP in iPhoto as well.
A colleague needs these libraries (organisation related photo categories).
They would not open on his white 2009 MacBook -- OS 10.8 with 4GB RAM and oodles of disk space -- with his version of iPhoto - 9.1.
Downloaded latest version 9.4.1 -- Installer says that OS 10.8.2 is required.
Downloaded and installed version 9.3.1 -- claims to be compatible with Aperture library.
File will not open -- Incompatible ProKit message.
Software update does not show any system updates available.
Downloaded 10.8.2
Tried to install -- failed -- Not compatible with this volume
Sigh (repeat x10)
Am I missing something -- I have read lots of slightly similar but different installation issues with 10.8.2 -- all very dispiriting.

Thanks again
but...
As I said in my post...
Downloaded 10.8.2
Tried to install -- failed -- Not compatible with this volume
I should have said the 10.8.2 Combo
As I said, it would not update -- it reported that the update was incompatible with this volume!
Yet the minimum specs for 10.8 (now running the machine only installed two weeks ago) and 10.8.2 have not changed.
I might add that I have been working with Macs from day 1 and on Apple ][s from almost day 1.

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

On imac 10.6.8 using current version of Aperture. How can I access the Aperture Library on my external hard drive that I use with time machine for backup? I can only access the application but not the library..

Go into Time Machine (the program not the bundle on the extrnal disk) and using Time Machine's browser go to the Folder where the library lives. You could look in the library bundle in Time Machine but that won't really tell you much,
If you want to make sure it truely has backed up your library you will need to restore it and open the restored library with Aperture.
If all this still has you confused you need to read up on Time Machine in order to get a feel for how it works, for what it is doing and for how to restore files from it.

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?

How can I migrate an Aperture library from an external HDD with Mac OS Extended (Journaled, Encrypted) format?
I used to store my pictures on an external hard drive using the latest version of Aperture. Now I tried migrating my Aperture library to Photos. However, after a short moment an error message popped up telling me that "Photos was unable to make a copy of your library before preparing it. Photos does not have the necessary permissions...".
My external HDD doesn't need any permission repairs nor is the system prohibited to read from or write to it.
Thanks for any advice in advance!

My guess is that the encryption is the problem for the new app.

How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application?

As stated above, How can I get my Aperture library back from the Photos application? I'm not a fan of Photos right now and haven't used iPhoto in years, so that wasn't a loss... I didn't realize when I gave Photo's access to my Aperture library, I was going to lose it...
I want to get it back, any suggestions?
Thanks again!

what means ..."Once you open the Aperture library back into Aperture..."? What do I need to "klick" in order to getting back my old Aperture Project structure....

How can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

how can I use my itunes library for iphoto slideshow?

Here's a possible workaround:
Create the slideshow in Iphoto and add a theme and music.
Install Picasa and it will include the slideshow on it's indexed list.
Upload the slideshow to PicasaWebAlbums and send the link to anyone you wish.
The music and theme is preserved.
Caveat: My playback pictures appear darker than usual but that could be just lousy photography...:)

HT1660 how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

how can I use one single library for all users on the same laptop?

You are most of the way there. Each user having access to hard drive is the key. If users are limited in file privileges this is harder.
Any files you add to your library and any files she adds to her library are available to the other. Just not automatically. Each user must add the files to their own library using the add file or add folder option from menu bar.
What I have done is set library location to a location outside of My Documents\My Music. On my network storage I have a folder names s:\itunes. Both accounts iTunes are set to use this location for the library.

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new Macbook with one USB-C only?

How can I use a firewire hard drive on a new MacBook with only one USB-C?

kaz-k is correct about FireWire not being supported by any possible connector or adaptor to USB-C and never will. However, there is no such thing as a FireWire Hard Drive. There are only SATA (or if it is a really old one, ATA,) drives in a FireWire enclosure. If you can remove the drive from the case/enclosure - bust it open somehow if it is a glued-up unit - then the drive can be placed into a regular USB3 enclosure. Then it can connect to the new MacBook via any one of the adaptors Apple sells.

How can I use an Aperture photo as wallpaper?

I'd like to use a few of my photos in Aperture 3 as wallpaper for my 2010 MacBook Pro (Mac OS 10.6.8), but I'm not sure how to do it. There doesn't seem to be any option for this within Aperture, and I can't see the Aperture library in Desktop/Screen Saver Preferences. Any suggestions would be very helpful.

When you're in the System Prefs > Desktop & Screen Saver > Desktop, have you tried hitting the plus button and scrolling down to Photos in the Media section of the sidebar of the browser window that comes up? You should be able to select photos from Aperture there.

How can I import my Aperture Library in iPhoto ?

Hi guys,
I use Aperture 3 since 2 years but I would like to go back to iPhoto ('11) because I don't need all the options in Aperture...
I know that I can easily import photos from the Aperture library to iPhoto but the "normal" method lose all the faces...
Do you fnow an other solution to keep all datas in iPhoto (photos, faces and places) ?
Thaks a lot, Ju

Aperture and iPhoto are entirely different applications that work in very different ways.
The only communication between the two is as follows:
Aperture is able to parse the iPhoto Library to allow it to import the contents while stacking the Originals and Modified versions, preserving metadata and so forth.
Aperture can share its Previews with the iLife apps, including iPhoto.
That's it.
So, specifically, what interaction there is between the two is designed to facilitate migration from iPhoto to the more powerful app. After that, iPhoto has exactly the same relationship to the Aperture Library as, say, Pages or iMovie.
iPhoto has no knowledge of, and knows nothing of how the Aperture Library works. It cannot read the Aperture library.
If you want to revert to iPhoto:
1. Export all your Masters
2. Export all your Versions
You can write the metadata to the files on export - check out the Export presets. Note that you cannot export Faces. There is no convention for sharing Faces. The best you can do is use Faces as a basis for keywording.
Import them into iPhoto. Note that there is no way to associate the masters with the versions in iPhoto, so you'll have apparent duplicates.

How can I divide my Aperture Library between digital and scanned images?

I am scanning 20,000 35mm slides to my Aperture Library. I have started importing them as TIFF files because the resolution of the JPEG files is not as good. Because of the number and size of the images, I would like to "split" my Aperture Library so that my current digital images are on the iMac HD and the scanned images are on a dedicated external HD. Is it possible to do this? If so, how do I set it up? Will the scanned images be managed or referenced images?

"Scan" means "digitize". Once your media is scanned, it is digital. Your question then becomes "How can I group my scans?" and "Can I store the Originals of the Images based on the scans externally?".
There are many ways to group Images. All of them are based on either giving the Images you want to group some unique marker, or using a marker that is already unique to them as a group. How you do this is up to you. Options include but are not limited to: put them in Projects and put those Projects in a Folder called "Scans", keyword them on import as "ScannedFrom35mmSlides", name them when scanned with a prefix such as "Scand35mm_", etc.
Aperture allows you to store the Original of each Image wherever you want. Storage devices mounted directly to your computer are recommended. Aperture provides tools to move each Image's Original inside your Library package (the Library package shows in Finder as a single file with the file extension ".aplibrary"), to relocate it outside your Library package at any location you specify, or to relocate files which are currently outside your Library package wherever you want.
Originals inside your Library are called "managed". Originals outside your Library are called "referenced". This is a per-Image setting, though moving these files is almost always done in batch, and most people keep their Library with every Image's Original either managed or referenced.
Having a "mixed Library", with some Image's Originals managed and others referenced, presents no problems.
The commands for relocated the Originals of the currently selected Images are on the "File" menu. Directions on using these commands are in the User Manual here.
Here is a concise guide to the parts of Aperture. Should any of the above be confounding, it may help clear things up.
I suggest determining the naming conventions, storage, and keywording that you are going to use in Aperture before you proceed. Rigorously building well-designed storage and retrieval structures from the start will make your image database easier to use, and more useful, than making changes ad hoc along the way.
Fwiw, JPG and TIFF are not differentiated by resolution (which is the pixel dimensions). TIFF is recommended because by default it is not compressed (no data is lost), and it can use 16-bits of information per pixel (JPG is limited to 8 bpp). 16-bit TIFF is an excellent -- and standard -- file format for high-quality scans.
Are you really still on 10.6.1?

How can I get my aperture library exported to iphoto?

Can anyone specifically tell me how to move pictures from aperture to iphoto? Thanks!

You can't import an entire actual Aperture library file into iPhoto.
But you can always create an album with all the images you want to export, select File>Export Versions and then export them to a folder where you can then import them from within iPhoto. You'll be making duplicates (just so you'll know that it will take up some additional disk space.)
If you have some sort of structure you want, you could do this with multiple albums so that iPhoto imports them as individual rolls.

How can I delete my Aperture library and import into iPhoto?

I have decided that I prefer the simpler interface of iPhoto, and I'd like to move all my photos back to there. I'm aware of the new feature that allows iPhoto to open up Aperture libraries; however, I want to delete the Aperture library and import all the photos into iPhoto. What's the simplest way to accomplish this?

The Library file format is now the same. If you have upgraded to the most current versions, you do not have to do anything to your Library: you can open it with either iPhoto or Aperture. Since you prefer iPhoto, simply open your Library in iPhoto.
As others have suggested, you might as well keep Aperture (the program) around, in case there is an adjustment or other function that you can effect with it that you cannot with iPhoto.

How can I use a shared library made with the application builder?

Hi,
I am using LabVIEW 7.1 running on Slackware 10.1 (kernel 2.4.29) and I am trying to call a graph display from a C program that I use for debugging VME access from a VMIVME controler. So using the application builder I built the VI as a shared library (graph.vi -> graph.so) containing a function called "graph". In my main program the call to the dlopen fails with the error: "graph.so: undefined symbol: UninitLVClient". When I examin graph.so with nm I see that UninitLVClient and other LabVIEW functions are indeed undefined and using ldd shows that graph.so has dependencies only on libc.so.* and *linux*.so.* but not on LabVIEW related stuff. Those functions are defined in the liblv.so that's in the cintools directory but I have no idea if the user is supposed to use that.
So I think I am missing an important concept here. Can somebody help or direct me to some documentation (I found lots of information about how to link external code to LabVIEW but nothing about how to link LabVIEW code to an external program)?

Thanks Watermann,
your message has been very useful so now I am linking to the proper library but I still have problems when trying to load dynamically the shared library produced with LabVIEW. It is strange that I could successfully load the lvrt library at loading time but it does not work when I am loading the library at execution time.
I made a small LabVIEW program that prints a hello window and I am calling it from a C program. In the first program main.c I am linking to the lvrt library at loading time and it works but in the second one I am linking dynamically at execution time and it does not work. For my work I need to be able to load code done in LabVIEW at execution time. Any help is appreciated!
Program main.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include "hello.h" // got this from the LabVIEW builder, i.e. when I made the hello.so
int main(void)
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
hello();
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main.c, i.e. linking shared library lvrt when loading main program:
gcc -Wall -I /usr/local/lv71/cintools/ -o main main.c hello.so -l lvrt
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH has been defined and exported:
$ LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$PWD
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
IT WORKS!
Program main2.c:
// small program to call a LabVIEW shared library
#include
#include
#include
int main(void)
void * h_lvrt;
void * h_hello;
void (* hello)(void);
char * error;
printf("Hello from C!\nLets call LabVIEW now\n");
// open LabVIEW RunTime shared library
// in my computer located at /usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so
h_lvrt = dlopen("/usr/local/lib/liblvrt.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
printf("error : could not open LabVIEW RunTime library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// open hello shared library
// in my computer located at /home/darss/lv_call/hello.so
h_hello = dlopen("hello.so", RTLD_NOW);
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not open hello library\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// get function hello from library hello.so
hello = dlsym(h_hello, "hello");
// check for error
error = dlerror();
if (error) {
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("error : could not get the hello function\n");
printf("%s\n", error);
return 1;
// call hello function
hello();
// close hello shared library
dlclose(h_hello);
// close LabVIEW RunTime shared library
dlclose(h_lvrt);
printf("Bye ... \n");
return 0;
The command to compile main2.c, i.e. dynamically linking library lvrt at execution of main2 program:
gcc -Wall -o main2 main2.c -l dl
The LD_LIBRARY_PATH still defined and exported.
IT DOES NOT WORK!
Program output:
Hello from C!
Lets call LabVIEW now
error : could not open hello library
/home/darss/lv_call/hello.so: undefined symbol: WaitLVDLLReady

How can I use my ITunes library currently on my desktop, on my laptop?

Having a family party and wanted to play some of the ITunes songs I have on my desktop using my laptop. How do I do this other than with home sharing which if I understand correctly, only works within your home while both computers are on. Party is not in my home and I also want to play more than just "purchased" tracks.

i am sure there will be no problem with access to itunes through your laptop, if you still stay in your country:)
