I am trying to launch Aperture for the first time and it won't open. Any tips?

I am trying to launch Aperture on a MacBook Pro for the first time. It displays "Opening Aperture Library" with a moving wheel... but nothing happens. Any thoughts on how to trouble shoot?
Thanks.

on a MacBook Pro for the first time.
What do you mean? Have transferred your Aperture Library from a different machine to a MacBook Pro, or did you just upgrade from a previous version of Aperture?
If it is hanging on opening your Aperture library, your Aperture library may need repairing.
Make a backup of your Aperture library.
Double click the Aperture Library while holding down the option-command key combination ⌥⌘.
From the First Aid panel that appears, select "Rebuild database" (if you upgraded Aperture), else start with "Repair Permissions" and "Repair Database". See this section in the Aperture manual for how to run the First Aid Tools:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library
If none of this helps, post back please and tell us more about your Aperture library, where it is located, the type of images: raw or jpeg, if it referenced, the exact version of Aperture 3 you have.
Regards

I clicked on iMessage on my Macbook Pro today for the first time, and now NOTES keeps opening up every 5 seconds, with a new note. I cannot stop it from opening. If I close it or force close, it opens again in 5 seconds. I can't get rid of it. I have tried to clear out the iMessage settings I had put in, and I've tried to adjust the Accounts to not include notes to synch. But, Notes will not stop. It opens a new note, and even if you ignore it, it assumes preference every 5 seconds, and the Mac is impossible to use.

Do you have any Boot Camp or other secondary partitions set up on your system? If so then try running a disk verification routine (chkdsk, etc.) in Windows to repair the disk. While I've not heard of it happening recently, in the past errors in these partitions have resulted in stubborn ghost files appearing in OS X.

What's the dialog box when you launch Aperture for the first time?

I bought Aperture 3 from the App Store, installed it, and when I launched it something odd happened: I was interacting with another application, and when Aperture started up it out up the main window and a dialog box popped up that asked "Would you like to..." with (presumably) Yes, No, OK, Cancel, or similar buttons. Unfortunately, it stole my mouse click from the other app and the dialog box vanished before I had a chance to read it, and so I have no idea what the question was or how I answered it. Aperture did not go off and do anything radical like convert my iPhoto library, so I guess it wasn't that, but I would like to know what it was I clicked.
Unfortunately, I can't repeat it since it appears to be a one-time question. Does anyone know what the dialog box asked? (It's not the second dialog box, which is whether I wanted to enable GPS geotagging.)

Thanks. On another forum, I have gotten two other answers: (1) whether I wanted to create an Aperture Library; and (2) whether I wanted to register Aperture.
All three are plausible - I guess it's not crucial what it was, but it would be nice to know.
(Weirdly, the forum software has lost my profile information and posting history & post count, and it populated the info box with "Model: PowerBook G4", which is about 3 machines back. What's up with that?)

I am trying to login to itunes for the first time, and am told to open an itunes tag in my toolbar. i cannot find this at all! any answers please.

I have just downloaded itunes, and am trying to buy a disc through them, but whenever I try to log on, I am told that firefox does not recognise itunes, and therefore I cannot buy my disc.
Can anyone help please?

Delete the apps that have a different Apple ID and re-download/re-purchase them using yours.
Apps are forever tied to the Apple ID used to obtain them.
To updatethose apps, the same Apple ID & password must be used.

trying to rent a movie on apple tv for the first time and have to authorize my computer but can't find the itunes menu that allows me to do this. any thoughts out there?

If the computer's running Mac OS X, move the cursor to the very top of the computer's screen, click on Store, and choose Authorize this Computer.
If the computer's running Windows, press the Alt and S keys and choose Authorize this Computer, or click here, follow the instructions, click on Store in the menu bar, and choose Authorize this Computer.

If you don't have a backup made by iTunes, your data and settings are gone.

I have a new iPod Touch and am trying to download photos for the first time. Both iPhoto & Image Capture recognize the device but don't seem to recognize the photos, or at least I can't import them. Nothing happens when I click on anything in either.

If you manually open iPhoto do you not see the photos?
Maybe here:
iOS: Unable to import photos or device not recognized as a camera
Yu are trying to impoort photos taken by or saved to the iPod, right? If the photos were synced to the iPod then iPhot does not work.

I received MBP yesterday.
I launched safari.

AND
I saw a series of address including 20-30 RRS address as well.
There was NewYork Times, Flower oder site, and hotstuffworks.com as well. Some of them are registered as RRS (around 40 site) there are some others as well.
Did you see this when you launch Safari for the first time.
I called Applecare and after sales center and they said nothing worng if machine is working fine.
Would you let me know what you guys experienced with your MBP?

It's fine. They are the default bookmarks. You can see and change them from the bookmarks menu or by clicking the "book" symbol under the "back" arrow.

Installed Firefox 3.6.8 for the first time and it keeps crashing

I just installed Firefox for the first time and when it is finished installing I tell it to start. It tries and as soon as it does I get a crash report. Every time I click Restrt Firefox it comes up with the same crash error, which is the following:

I am running this on a Duo Core processor, Intel, Laptop, Windows 7 with 4-gigs of ram. I have never had a problem with other programs crashing like this before.
Any ideas? I have never used Firefox and after 20 years have decided to try something new.
Thanks for any help.

You mean out of this whole community no one knows how to fix this ... I wanted to give Firefox a try, but honestly, I am starting to see why I have not switched from IE, it is stable and I get answers when I post to the Microsoft boards as well as the answer to everything I have ever had an issue with is out there ... what is worse is that I am not the only one with this problem and no one can still help because I am sure us five are not the only ones that have run into this.

Anyone still up? I just purchased from the itunes store for the first time, and don't know how to get them downloaded to my ipod.

Sigh.....really late and I want to go to sleep, but I just purchased some Itunes online for the first time, and I don't know how to download them to my ipod. I've never done it before, and it shouldn't be rocket science, but I can't find anything that tells me where to go to download my songs. It said something about check purchases, but I can't even find that screen. I connected my ipod to the computer, and now it says CONNECTED...EJECT BEFORE DISCONNECTING. My BF set up the acct when he bought my ipod as a gift, and as I bought these songs for a special weekend I have planned I can't ask him how to do it. HELP! For some reason the password I always use is not recognized for my account... and since I can't get anyone from itunes without a proper log-in I'm at the mercy of all of you more versed in tech and itunes than I. Is anyone still up that can help me out?

It should keep asking for the password, because it's trying to check for purchases... As soon as you login, it will see you have pending downloads and create the downloads section on the left below Purchases under the Store section. Then it will start the music downloads there, as they will be listed one below the other.
You could just try to check your account balance or view your account and that will trigger a password request too. You can just click on that and say that now iTunes keeps asking for the password and ask him to help you with that. Trick would be to interrupt him so that he carries on with another task after, so he doesn't notice the download. Or you carry on with email or browsing which you were "busy" with when iTunes interrupted you for the password (stupid iTunes)

Just used my FaceTime for the first time, and my audio kept cutting in and out.? Why is it doing that? Or what's causing it? HELP!

I tried facetiming for the first time and my audio kept cutting in and out.. WHY!? It was so annoying. Does anyone know what might be the problem? Connection? Thanks!

Do you have a Corp. Exchange account on your phone? I ask, because the requirement to encrypt an iPhone backup can be enforced by a profile installed on your phone when setting up the Exchange account.
