How do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

how do I stop aperture from reprocessing my my raw files on import

Here's the thing: You didn't shoot in B&W and the Raw is in colour.
Your camera shoots everything in colour because that's what the sensor in the camera is - RGB. For B&W shots what happens is that the camera adds a display tag to the shot - and this is written to the Jpeg you shoot, and so it displays.
But a Raw is a sensor dump from the camera. This is all the data that the camera has, and all of that is in colour, so it shows in colour on Aperture.
Convert to B&W in Aperture or shoot Jpeg.

How do I stop spotlight from returning .r and .h files

how do I stop spotlight from returning .r and .h files?

Hello jtenny,
Welcome to the Discussions.
I had a similar problem with Safari opening .pdf files. It went away when I went into the following folder: Your Home Folder/Library/Internet Plug-ins, and dragged out any files that looked as if they might make a difference, just one at a time, onto the Desktop. (N.B. I did not Trash them; and if removal made no difference, I replaced the file into the Plug-ins folder.) You will have to restart Safari on each occasion; and on a couple of occasions I found that re-setting Safari (Safari Menu) was necessary to give the application a start-from-scratch with each download attempt.
That's a somewhat makeshift way of approaching it; but provided you don't trash the plugins, and provided you restore those that make no difference, it can't do any harm -- within my experience anyway.
All good wishes from Ireland
Martin

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart?

How do I stop lion from opening all previously opened files on restart? I want to wipe all open files, since that seems to be the most efficient way to close lots & lots of open files (that build up over the course of normal activities)

One way is to always quit all applications before you shut down.
An easy way to do this (although in my own experience it doesn't seem to always work perfectly) is to simply hit CMD + TAB + Q and hold down all three keys.
When you do that the computer will cycle through all open apps and close them. If there are any open files that haven't been saved, it won't close them. So you should save everything you want to save before you hit CMD + TAB + Q.

How do I stop Aperture from automatically imputing SCSI card data when I put a SCSI card in?

I use the SCSI card every day to move movie files from my camera to an external harddrive. When I put a SCSI card in the slot, Aperture automatically opens and starts downloading. How can I stop this? I want to just copy the SCSI card to my external hard drive. This was asked in a priveious Apple forum but never answered.

I meant SD card I guess, not SDSC card
Frank, thanks I will try that.

How can I stop Lion from overwriting my apache conf files

I am at the point of abandoning OS X forever and returning to loading NetBSD on macs. I have never been so angry at a piece of Apple software.
On reboot, the server completely wiped out my apache configuration and rebuilt it. Thankfully I had backups.
How I can prevent Lion from interfering with my apache setup? I will NEVER use that crappy admin tool again. Webmin is FAR superior to it if I need a GUI tool. I can live in the shell very happily. I don't want to have to install a new webserver from source if I can avoid it. I just want to stop Lion from destroying my conf files.
How do I wrest control from this monster?

All we did was not modify httpd.conf other than adding an include at the end. If you put your content in other files, it doesn't seem to mess with them.

How do I stop Aperture from dislpaying MobileMe popup?

Maybe this has to do with my copy being a free trial... Everytime I launch Aperture, a window pops up and askes me if I want to sign in to MobileMe. The options are "SignIn", "No Thanks", and "Learn More". I don't see a checkbox that says "Don't show this". It sure is anoying. How do I remove this?
Thanks

Sorry -- my bad. Stack overflow .
Should read "Aperture→Preferences→Web→Accounts".
In Aperture, click "Aperture" on the menu bar. Then click "Preferences". Then click the tab "Web". Look for something that might be triggering MobileMe in the Accounts listed. Delete it.

How do I stop Safari from displaying .rtf and .doc files?

I have placed a number of .rtf and .doc files on my website for downloading. I've notice that my other browsers download the actual file when I type in the exact web address to where they are stored, whereas Safari just displays the text in Safari--there's no physical file download. What can I do to force Safari to download the physical file? (Am I not storing the file for download properly?)

How to stop Aperture from building previews?

Hi,
How can I stop Aperture 2.1 from building previews each time I make a change to a photo?
I have unselected everything under preferences/previews and I have deleted all previews for this library, but still it's building them again.
Thanks,
JO

I have the 1.5 book, and have the 2.0 book on order. Hopefully, it is being updated for 2.1, but no problem if it isn't.
I tried 1.5 (I think) but didn't like it and started using Lightroom, and have been with Lightroom since its beginning. I am now running Lightroom 1.3.1, Lightroom 2 BETA 1, and Aperture 2.1. As a matter of fact, I am importing all of my existing images into Aperture as I type this. Even with the advancements of Lightroom, I find navigating and working with Aperture to be a more efficient, enjoyable matter.
I can't wait to see what's next for Aperture, especially in response to some new features in Lightroom 2.

Mac OS X: Double-Clicking a File Opens the Wrong Application - http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2291
-= Changing the application used to open all files of a certain kind (written with reference to OSX 10.4 but may not have changed) =-
1) In a Finder window highlight a file of the kind you want to change the application to open that kind of file.
2) While that file is highlighted, select File > Get Info or press command (apple or propeller icon) + i to get a file information window.
3) In the lower part of the info window there is an "open with" menu with a list of applications.
4) If your application is already in the box then it is the default application for opening that kind of file and you don't need to do anything more. Close the get info window.
5) If the application showing in the menu is not the one with which you wish to open the file then select a new application. If your application does not appear there then select the "other..." and track down the application (usually in the Applications folder at the main level of the computer).
6) If you wish to change all files of this type to open with this application in future, make sure the "change all" button is selected.
7) Close the get info window.

All my excel files were converted to pdf. Why would this happen and how do i stop it from doing so?

Relax, they weren't converted to PDF.
You can tell by right clicking ANY of them and choosing "Properties". You'll see there that they're STILL .xls or .xlsx files. The "association" has changed and Windows now indicates that they open with Reader, which isn't right.
Where it says "Open With" under the General tab, you can click "Change" and re-select Excel as the default app to open thim.

When I call up some web sites sometimes the web site comes up 3 or 4 times...how do I stop this from happening? For example if I click on a link the exact same link comes up 3 or 4 times and I have to manually delete all of them but one.

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

Make 3 different iCloud accounts and use ONLY for iMessage. That will permanently fix your issue.

How do I stop itunes from corrupting it's library on almost a daily basis?

How do I stop itunes from corrupting it's library on almost a daily basis? It's actually becoming infurating to use, and what's happening is I am losing my downloads since the last automated itunes backup (having to rename & replace the current corrupted library with the last backup which is usually a day or two old). What can cause this? Is there ANY alternative to using itunes for Apps (which is the sole use I have for it)? If not, APPLE PLEASE REMOVE THE NEED FOR THE DATABASE SO IT DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO CORRUPT ITSELF... :'(

Things you see in iTunes are stored in various sub folders in your main iTunes folder as in:
Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/message/13025536 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/17457605
Start iTunes and immediately hold down the option key. Create a new library somewhere. Go to your old iTunes folder and drag items to the window for the new library. Maybe only grab a folder or part of one at a time. It will copy these items to the new library (so you need lots of extra room on your computer).

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto

Imovie 09 How do I stop Imovie from auto importing video from iphoto.
Hi I've done a lot of searches on how to do this but no answers found.
Imovie is beginning to become really slow because of the large number of video's. It takes 3 minutes to startup. Editing is sometimes slow lot's of spinning beach balls e.t.c.
I would like to only import the video I want to edit and hopefully get a quicker Imovie in the process.
My Iphoto library is about 95 Gbyte in size.
My mac has 4 gb ram and I use the internal disk.
Any other ways to work with Imovie/Iphoto are also welcome.
regards

I won't get iMovie 9 till Tuesday, but based on what you said I may need to take some precautions. One reason I didn't like iMovie 8 is because it automatically imported everything in iPhoto library. What I'm going to do is create a new iPhoto library before importing the photos/videos from the camera. Or if you already have it in your main iPhoto library copy only the photos you'll use in your iMovie 9 project to the new library. Then start iPhoto while pressing the option key which will allow you to select the new iPhoto library you have created. Then I suppose that when you start iMovie 9 it will automatically import only the photos/videos from the new library.
