I can't take any more!

OK, this afternoon my patience finally ran out. I am sick of that beachball, I am sick of my external hard drives whirring endlessly every time I launch Aperture, I am sick of the soul-destroying slowness of this app. It can't even find files let alone open them that Bridge brings up in an instant.
You can't run Aperture with Photoshop without both grinding to a halt which is really limiting.
I have what is supposed to be a high end laptop that cost me a lot of money but it just aint good enough for the Mighty Aperture, oh no.
These new Apple ads make me laugh. 'It just works' Hey Steve, no it doesn't if you're running Aperture.
This app needs a hardware spec that is frankly ridiculous. I'm giving up and moving to Lightroom. Maybe.
Arghhhhhhh!!!!!!!

I think the problem seems to have started when I
migrated my Aperture library to a 500GB USB2 hard
drive. It seems to be generating endless previews
every time I launch it....
There's your problem...
From my own experience with Aperture, the upgrade that brought about the most dramatic performance boost was changing to a faster disk setup. I'm now using 3 MaxLine III drives in a RAID-0 stripe. Before that I had 3 striped Barracuda ES drives (that have a known yet unexplained random IO speed problem on the Mac Pro), and Aperture was a lot more sluggish. I cannot imagine how bad a single-disk configuration would be...
In your situation I'd ditch the USB drive and get an external 2 or better 4 disk RAID-0 capable firewire enclosure.
Cheers
Steffen.

    Icloud storage has nothing at all to do with the storage on your iphone.

    Check Settings > General > Usage to display what's taking all your space.

    Despite adding more storage = 20GB my devices tell me that I can not take any photos/video, why would this be?

    Because the issue is that you don't have sufficient available space on your phone, not that you don't have enough space in your iCloud account.  Adding storage in iCloud does not give you more space on your phone.
    You can check your available space by going to Settings>General>Usage.  You'll need to delete or sync some data off your phone to freee up more space.

    Hi,
    I'm in Nova Scotia, Canada and when I try to use Siri it loads and loads and then says, "I'm really sorry about this, but I can't take any requests right now. Please try again in a little while."
    I rebooted and it didn't fix the problem. I just got my iPhone 4s (unlocked right from Apple) several weeks ago.

    Siri has been a bit more erratic than usual in the last week or so. Apple has announced a major announcement for 9/12. Conclusions are left to the reader.
    Best of luck.

    Hello Pushtheriver,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud storage issues:
    Get help using iCloud storage
    This may also help:
    Understanding iOS device capacity
    You can sync and download many different types of content on your device. Some types of content (such as music and videos) typically take more space than others (such as notes and books). The amount of space taken by an app depends on the app's purpose; complex or graphically intense apps usually take more space than simpler apps.
    If your device is near its capacity, you can remove some of the less used content to make room for more.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.

    You can't. There is no memory card. It uses flash memory that's soldered to the logic board. If you didn't back it up, your data is gone.

  • My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? Can I sync my ipod to a new computer if I allow all the songs to be erased?

    My computer crashed. So does this mean I can not add any more music to my ipod from a different computer without all the songs being erased? The ipod works fine and now i got a new computer. So it seems like my only options are leaving my ipod in a state where i cant add anymore songs or erasing all my songs and trying to use my ipod from my new computer. Can someone please inform me on how to have my ipod work from a different computer, even if i have to erase my songs. Thanks.

    Yes, if you choose the Erase and Sync option (or restore your iPod) you will be allowed to sync your iPod with the new computer.
    If you would like to save the content that's currently on your iPod, see this older thread from another forum member Zevoneer discussing the different ways to copy the content on an iPod back to your PC.

  • IPhoto 09: I suddenly can't import any more jpg-photos created by scanner with SilverFast Ai

    I suddenly can't import any more jpg-pictures created by scanner with SilverFast. iPhoto says 'unknown format'. What can I do?

    Since you can import into a library in the other user account there is something in your account that is the culprit. First  make a temporary, backup copy (if you don't already have a backup copy) of the library and try the following:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
         User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder. 
    Click to view full size
    3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
    NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto.  You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.
    Oost back with the results as there is one more text of your account that can be done if the above didn't help.

    Allen,
    Actually, there is a TRANSPOSE Function, but no Command or Tool for that. It's one of the more useful and popular omissions in Numbers. Perhaps because it falls into the "didn't plan ahead so now I need a tool" category of features, it didn't make the cut.
    Use of the Transpose Function is described in the Function Browser, the Help feature and in the Functions of Formulas User Guide PDF. It involves using the INDEX function to read out the array created by the Transpose function. Another way to do this is to use the OFFSET function in an expression and by exchanging the row and column references.
    Yvan Koenig has written an Applescript that will automate the transposition for data and for certain simple expressions. You can get it from his Box Account, on this page.

  • Can't add any more buddies, but i always could, even over the limit..

    On my iChat buddy list (on an AIM account), I have a lot over the 200 maximum, and it has always worked fine. I had almost 300 buddies, and then tried to add a few more. The first one worked, but the second two adds didn't. Is there a way to fix this other than deleting some buddies?

    This would mean that you aren't really removing the element
    from either
    Design or Code view. If the code is there, the element is
    there. If the
    code is not there, the element is not there.

    It would be hard to diagnose what might be happening without
    seeing your
    page and its code. Can you post a link?

  • Can't add any more AP Divs

    Hi,
    I'm building a site for my husband which is built entirely
    with AP Divs (in CS3). Messy, but quick and easy.
    Never made a website before, so it's all a bit new to me!
    I've got to the stage now though, where I can't add any more.
    I can draw the shape using the Draw AP Div tool, but as soon as I
    let go of the mouse button, the box disappears (it doesn't get as
    far as becoming a blue box).
    I've checked that it's not hidden beneath another layer.
    One thing I have noticed is that if I use design view to
    delete an AP element, it doesn't seem to get removed from the code.
    Anyone got any ideas?
    Thanks,
    A

  • Firefox has run before but can't start any more

    Firefox has run before but can't start any more.
    I tried the solutions proposed but it doesn't work

    Hello,
    See this help Article :
    [[Firefox won't start - find solutions]]
    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------In case you want to do something straight away, try a Clean reinstall. This means you remove Firefox program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps:
    '''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
    * Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    * After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
    * Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
    * Windows:
    * C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
    * C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    * Mac: Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
    * Linux: If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Install Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the Firefox download page, simply remove the folder firefox in your home directory.
    * Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    * Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    * Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found here.
    '''''WARNING:''''' Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!
    Please report back to see if this helped you!
