HT5132 Aperture keeps trying to move a nonexistent  Mobile Me album

Ever time I open Aperture I get a "Moving MobileMe albums" window. Nothing else happens but Aperture lock up.

Lex,
try to remove Aperture's User preferences file from the User Library:
The user preferences are hidden by default; reveal them from the Finder's "Go" menu:
Quit Aperture, if it is running (or hanging):
Open the user library by using the Finder's "Go > Go to Folder" menu and hold down the options-key, until "Library" appears in the drop down menu. Select it.
In the widow that will open, scroll down to "Preferences"
From the "Preferences" folder  remove "com.apple.Aperture.plist".
Then try to launch Aperture again.
Regards
Léonie

  • When exporting files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might do 524 images but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture, it's the latest version etc etc. Help please!

    If anyone can help me with this I would be seriously grateful.
    When exporting mutliple files to web pages Aperture keeping losing files, so for instance, if I choose to export 600 images to a new web page, it might make 524 pages but not the full 600. I've tried resetting Aperture and its persmission and am using the latest version of 3.
    I have 3600 images which I need to upload as sublfolders, each with their own URL and at the moment Aperture is dropping of anything from 1 to 90 images.
    This is critical as people need to see each and every on of these images online. So if a file has 600 photos in it, Aperture should make a URL with 600 full image pages. And this is what it's not doing. On small files, say 30 or so it seems to work well, it's when it gets to more than that the problem starts.
    I've used Aperture in the past under previous versions and not had this problem.
    Any help would be great.
    Thanks.
    Bob.

    Hi Jack,
    Thanks for responding (as it seems as though no one else has been able to provide any insight as of yet)! Not sure if you saw my recent post, but the version of Aperture on the 2008 MacBook has been upgraded to 3.1.2 (not sure how; I bought it in 2009, but only have OS X 10.5.8... which apparently can't house 3.1.2 of Aperture, but hey, like many other anomalies i'm encountering, I'm no longer surprised!). I am unable to upgrade it any further, as it warns me that my OS X does not fit the requirements. I exported the projects as libraries; however, like I posted before, apparently these are from too old of a version for the new Aperture (3.3.1) to handle and import.
    It's getting to the point where I'd almost pay to upgrade the OS X on my previous MacBook (10.5.8) to something newer in order to THEN update Aperture to a newer version; however, my previous MacBook simply cannot handle this (the specs are awful -- hence my decision to save up and upgrade to the newest MBP with Retina).
    I've spent hours upon hours transferring files, libraries as projects, previews, versions, even masters (though, apparently some of them aren't accessible?) with no luck. I've rebuilt the library and reprocessed everything. And this is all after having to return one MBP already since Aperture 3.3.1 is glitch-y as it is, and froze everything for having a "managed library". So, now that I know that I have to deal with a referenced library in Aperture... I just need to actually transfer my previous library to my new one (hopefully WITH adjustments since these are years worth of photos and work).
    Again, any help is appreciated. I've lost enough sleep, time, and vision health over this at this point.
    Also, I know Migration Assistant is an option, I was told that it wouldn't work properly anyway because of the different operating systems, and the potential for problems.

  • Trying to move aperture library from USB external drive to FW 800 external drive.i can see the projects but no thumbnails. Error application not responding. Verified permissions before started. It's been 3hours. Recommendations please

    I have consolidated iPhoto into aperture 3.2.2  and now have both aperture and iPhoto put consolidated library on 2.0 USB external drive. Have been removing duplicate photos from 23,000 down to 15,000. Problem in trying to close aperture and now tried to move library from 2.0 USB to 800FW and can see projects but no thumbnails. Aperture error now reads not responding. Can I repair library on 2.0 at this point? 

    Sharon,
    did you do anything else besides copying your library to a fire wire drive after your last post                                                                            Aperture not responding                     ?
    Since that library probalbly already needed fixing, I'd recommend to force quit Aperture and use the "First Aid" to repair your Library.

  • I'm trying to move a video file on to my airport time capsule but it keeps asking me to click Authenticate - how and where do I do this?

    I'm trying to move a video file on to my airport time capsule but it keeps asking me to click Authenticate - how and where do I do this?

    Unmount the TC disk and manually mount it in Finder..
    Use Go, Connect to Server.
    Type in the network name or IP address thusly.
    AFP://TCname.local (TCname is the actual network name of the TC.. this is not the same as its name unless you use correct SMB naming.. so simply fix the name or find its network name. local is domain). 
    or
    AFP://10.0.1.1 (That is default IP, type in your TC ip which should only be used if static)
    When you do the above it will request a password, type in your TC disk access password.
    You should be able to copy files to the TC now.. but please remember the TC is not a great place to store files and Time Machine cannot back it up.

  • Aperture keeps quitting when trying to make a vault

    I bought a 1 tb EHD to used solely for vaults for my referenced library. I daisy chained the 1 tb EHD to my 2 tb EHD that has all my images. I have tried to make a vault 3 times now and aperture keeps crashing. Very frustrated, any thoughts? Their is plenty of free space on my hd to be used for the transfer. And the daisy chained EHD has its own power source.Thanks

    That is ineteresting, but "Journaled" or not should not make a difference in this case. What could make a difference would be, if one of the drives were formatted case-sensitive-journaled and the other only journaled.
    But both "Mac OS Extended" and "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" work well with Aperture. So you do not need to reformat.
    See this: Aperture: Use locally mounted Mac OS X Extended volumes for your Aperture library

    Once you have your library backed up, repair your library with the First Aid Tools, as described here:

  • HT201289 Aperture keeps 3.6 on Yosemite keeps going "non responsive" while trying to create a new vault or back up to an existing vault. Any help would be great.

    Aperture keeps 3.6 on Yosemite keeps going "non responsive" while trying to create a new vault or back up to an existing vault.
    Any help would be great.

    Where is your vault stored? Is it on a drive with the correct formatting - MacOS Extended (Journaled)?

  • TS2972 I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas?

    I have 46 movies downloaded from apple on my windows 7 PC I can only see 32 of them on my apple tv, I keep trying to share on my computer but they will not connect, any ideas? Sometimes I can connect though computer and get all my movies but usually I  can not connect though the network.

    thank you Diesel vdub  this helps but I just need to clarify - I understand about copying the intire folder ( cool thanks ) for the second part though, you are saying I can not do this if the 2nd computer does not have internet access? ( which you seem to be saying - bother! )
    many thanks

  • ITunes keeps trying to download rented movie

    In the summer of '08 I rented Cloverfield off iTunes on my MacBook (running the latest version of Leopard). Since then iTunes will keep trying to download the movie and once it's finished downloaded it will send me an error message every 20 minutes. It doesn't charge me for the movie but the continuous error messages are getting annoying. How do I stop iTunes from doing this?

    Have you tried deleting the iTunes Music\Download folder?

  • I am trying, unsuccessfully, to export an iphoto smart album- 12,000 photos, no movies- (information is saying 31GB) to a brand new 32GB scandisk flash stick. A caution msg keeps saying "there is not enough space to complete this" Help!

    I am trying, unsuccessfully, to export an iphoto smart album- 12,000 photos, no movies- (information is showing 31GB total) to a brand new 32GB scandisk flash stick. A caution msg keeps saying "there is not enough space to complete this" Help!

    You need a larger drive or an external drive - they OS needs a minimum of 10GB just for normal operation so you are already experiancing degraded preformance - if yo do not get more space you will start losing data
    Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
    And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
    And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

  • Help!  Trying to move itunes from one PC to another but iPod keeps dying

    Hi everyone,
    I'm trying to move my itunes from my old, sad lap top to a decent used PC. I tried to go the route of using my iPod as a hard drive to move itunes but when i'm trying to load itunes from the iPod to the new PC, the process is interrupted because the iPod loses power. Now what?? I'm goin nuts...

    Once you settle on one of the options Kay provided you with, have a look at this post for some particulars:

  • So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule, iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me.

    So, I have just about had it. For nine days now,  I have valiantly tried to move my library to an external drive. At first, I attempted to move it to my 2TB Time capsule. iTunes didn't like its new home though and moved home without telling me. So then there were two libraries. I meshed them back together reluctantly and iTunes in a silent revolt, absolutely refused to use its own 'Keep Library Organized' criteria and may as well have thrown my music against the wall. Seriously, my 5 year old nephew has his computer files better managed. Then I bought a 3TB Time Capsule and you may ask yourself why??? Well, iTunes doubled in size- although when I ran apps that are designed to find duplicate iTunes files, it deleted the music I actually bought from iTunes. So then I watched as iTunes got it back. How you ask; I run a MacBook Air, iMac and Mac mini in my house - as soon as one powered up it hit the net like a sailor on leave and re-downloaded it all without abandon. I tried to keep the libraries separate, no success there. I tried to keep them unified; iTunes response was to ask me if I wanted to join iTunes Match every time I logged on to my computer and on any computer - my iTunes match song number has been as high as 24,367 and as low as 11,112. And I can't simply refuse iTunes. No one refuses iTunes. Refusal to allow iTunes Match to run through all 24000 songs again was to revoke my rights to the songs that were once part of my library. If I took a long time to decide or was visibly impatient while iTunes did its little 3 hour scan it would arbitrarily decide that music I bought from iTunes was ineligible for iTunes Match. How could that possibly be??? I am missing music, or at least iTunes tells me so by showing me that lovely exclamation point. I have tried backing up my computer to do a full system restore and start all over. Time Capsule claims I have 979 GB of data and takes its sweet time to even back up one gig (about 18 minutes) even though I can transfer files to my Time Capsule at about 1 GB every 40 seconds. I guess though performing back-ups are somewhat like government jobs; it will get done, when it gets done. The back up requirement of 979 GB is surprising though, my Mac claims that I currently occupy just about 25% of my 2TB drive. The discrepancy, who knows, but I think the solution lies somewhere in iTunes. But maybe iPhoto. But that is for another time.

    After admittedly only a quick read the one thing you don't say is how you are trying to make this move.  Most people with moving library issues do it the wrong way.  Plenty of web sites tell you how to do it the wrong way.
    If the iTunes application is started before the drive with the library is fully mounted and awake iTunes will revert back to the internal drive.

  • Error message: The folder (you are trying to move) contains the catalog

    II am trying to move a catalog to an external HD. I am getting an error message: The folder (names folder) contains your LR catalog and cannot be moved while LR is running.
    How can i move the folder within LR without LR running or if I move the catalog out of the folder in MAC Finder, will it impact the synchronicity of the file pATH? Where should the folder containing the catalog be kept? I keep some separate catalogs by year because of the amount of photos that they contain and I "store the catalog file within the LR folder on the HD

    Copy the catalog with Finder to the external. Copying the previews also is optional because if you don't LR will make new ones, but copying over the Previews.lrdata folder to the same location will save time. This is done with LR off. Now double click on the external catalog .lrcat file and LR will launch. After verifying that the new catalog is functioning properly, you can delete the old one from the internal.
