Hopefully useful tips for endless processing

I also posted this in reply to another user, but I think it might be useful enough to others that I will post it here so it's not so buried.
I'm just starting, after many, many hours, to see the light at the end of the tunnel with Aperture 3. I think A3 offers some great options, and is a diamond in the rough -- very, very rough, even in v3.0.1.
But I think I have some VERY USEFUL TIPS for you here (again this is after a lot of learning by pain... 4 different attempts to "upgrade" my A2.1.4 library (42K images about 200GB of images).
1st, and possibly most importantly the "SHIFT" key is your friend. You can use it when you restart A3 to stop the endless processing loop that A3 would fall into every time I upgraded or imported my library to A3 (or 3.01). All you need to do is hold down the "SHIFT" key while restarting A3, this should top all previously stuck processing as you upgrade your library. So use this tip after you first upgrade/import your library, if the processing bug hits. Then you have to be patient and go though your library and figure out where the problem files are (Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)
2nd, at this point you will need to systematically go through your library and figure out where the "problem" files are and "fix" them (in my case all of these worked just fine in 2.1.4 - go figure). I would start by generating thumbnails for all of the images in a project, one project at a time (I had 150 some in my library). When you get stuck in the "processing" loop again, you can restart A3 using the "SHIFT" trick, and maybe just try a chunk of images within that same project until you find where things fail again, and until you can get to the offending image (if it's a problem you won't be able to generate a thumbnail for the image -- and A3 will go into endless "processing" mode)
3rd, this sound like a horribly tedious process and it is. But I can offer you some useful tips. In my case, and others as well apparently, a lot of the offending files are 16-bit PSD or TIFF images, especially if they had adjustments applied in A2.1.4. In my case I had fewer than 50 of these, so I exported an original and a jpg for each of these files. I re-imported the jpg and deleted the PSD/TIFF from A3 (I kept the exported original for future use). These files would then generate thumbs without endlessly processing. The other type of file that I ran into problems with were stitched panoramic images (often over 30MP) that I had applied adjustments to in A2.1.4. I simply removed the adjustments and the generated thumbs for them (worked like a charm).
4th, download some good podcast, music or audiobook... this will take a long time.
Cheers, and look me up in FaceBook I started a group called "Apple Please Fix Aperture"

Danny,
Funny you should mention this.... (actually it makes you look a bit like a "schill", even though you are not)... nope, as far as I can tell there is no way to tell which specific images are causing A3 to grind to a halt.
Hence my comment:
"(Apple has done a LOUSY job in not identifying what specific images A3 is processing in the "Activity Window" -- Let Apple know if this really bugs you)" and similar previous ones in other posts.
I wonder if Steve, yes that one, knew about this, being the perfectionist he seems to be, if he would have this feature included in Activity Monitor ASAP, or more likely it would have just been fixed by now (more of a "one-button" solution). Anyone have his house #?
In any case, I please let me (us) know if this helps resolve your problems... and consider joining the Facebook group as well and maybe we can hope for a much better 3.x.x version in the very near future.

Starting a documentary, using PPro for the 1st time, any pro tips for workflow?

I'm a documentary director and editor that is making the big switch for my next project. For some background, I'm coming from the world of FCP 7 working with p2 DVCpro footage off a Panasonic HPX camera, multiple editors who each have separate systems with duplicates of media to work from, and usually finish using Color, outputting to HDCAM (SR if necessary).
For the new project the two editors will be working on Mac Pro Towers, OS 10.6.8, Dual Core 3Ghz Intel, 9GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 5770. The towers were bought in late 2007, so we can't upgrade to Mountain Lion because our chipset is barely outdated.
We will be shooting the entirety of the doc on c300s, and eventually c100s.
One of the main attractions for our switch is that the c300 footage drops in Premiere natively, and we will not need to duplicate our storage space to create 422 Pro Res clips.
Is this a mistake? Does the long GOP format of the canon's mpeg format prove too incompatible for multiclipping, logging, cutting, and then color correct?
What do I need to do to ensure that each editor can open each other's project files as seamlessly as possible? How do we avoid waiting for the audio to load in each time we pass project files back and forth?
Because logging and organization are so important to us with the amount of footage we use, are there any bugs I should know of that delete markers or screw up the sync of multiclips?
Thanks in advance for the advice and discussing topics that I'm sure have been covered here many times before.
I look forward to all of your thoughts.
Best,
Clay

Try doing a hard reset on the phone;
1. Hold Home and Sleep/Wake buttons at the same time;
2. Wait for the Apple logo to appear (ignore the slide to Power Off option)
3. Let go of the buttons when you see Apple on the screen
4. Allow iPhone to reboot; and try to open the apps again.
If that doesn't work; you will have to try a restore in iTunes; and then sync the apps back the phone after the restore.

Any Design Tips For My New Site

Hi All - I am quite new to web development. Can you check out my website and let me know of any feedback you have?
[ link removed by moderator - self-promotion is not permitted ]
I initially spent a decent amount of time, too much time, pondering and trying to select a nice theme. Once I realized it, I thought I should just go with the default 2012 theme and focus on simplicity. The result is a much cleaner site. I figure that later, some day, I can actually have a pro design make the appropriate changes.
Thanks in advance!

Obviously since this is my first time running my own existence on the net, I am wondering if there are any security issues I should look out for. Are typical Linux security features like mod_security or fail2ban recommended for Mac servers on the net?
I don't generally run those tools, though AFAIK ports of those packages do exist.
Keep and monitor your logs. Make and keep multiple remote backups, particularly of your core data and database contents, and possibly also your log files. Don't allow your server to have delete access to your stash of off-server backup files; access is write-only, and preferably backup files are then relocated out of the staging area by remote scripts. Keep some depth to your backups, and to your archived logs. Know what normal traffic in the server logs looks like, so that you can know what trouble looks like. Keep your software patches current. Keep whatever content management systems and other installed software you're running current, too. If you're running content management systems, get onto the security notification lists for those packages. Keep as few IP ports active as possible and either use certificates or — if you must use passwords — avoid picking any of the ten thousand most common passwords. No telnet and no ftp. If you have passwords or sensitive data, encrypt it.
If you're inclined for a little reading, Apple and NSA have security manuals; not the most current versions, but might be worth a look.

move client is to move a floating client in a specific direction.
You can use the swap-client-* options to swap one frame with another.
You can also use detach-client, switch to target frame, attach-client. This is probably the "preferred" method.
2) Can I save a frame layout so I have it, "empty," next time I start wmi?
Not that I know of. Not like ion... but I find I got used to and preferred having my own dynamic layouts in wmi.
wmii has the concept of 'layouts' so you can arrage a certain number of windows in a specific way, this is sort of like your empty frames plan. Its really really cool, problem is the resizing with tiled layouts.
3) How to move a client to another workspace?
detach-client switch workspace attach-client
(alt-d and alt-a are the defaults for deatching and attaching)
4) How to set a background image?
I use qiv -z in my theme.conf for the rootcmd or whatever it is... you can use esetroot, bsetroot, etc as well.
The FAQ on the wmi homepage seems to be about wmii only ... or I am blind.
check the wmi menu.... Documentation, frequently asked questions:

That is poor type layout.
European languages read left to right, a ragged left edge is the worst possible layout for listed data.
The only circumstance you should use the left/right alignment is in header/footers for running heads and page numbers wheer they are widely separated and therefore easy to scan as individual short snipetts of text.

I'm new in xcode, any application ideas for beginers?

I'm new in xcode, just downloaded it today, made a web browser but I want to learn how to make an application like the pros. I need some ideas to learn from, dose anyone have any??

Mujtaba has given you excellent advice. Though you haven't told us whether your interest is in OS X or iPhone apps, the iPhone Developer Beginner Resource Guide is full of good information, much of which applies to any Cocoa app. The links in that Guide are well chosen, and it might be worth your time to follow every one of them. Here's another post that might help get you started: [http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=11099223&#11099223].
I would recommend building your first apps from the instructions in one of the good books recommended at the above links. Once you're ready to dig into the online Apple developer resources, you'll find pages listing all the free OS X and iPhone sample apps along with download links for each of them. Each of these samples is designed to show you how to use one or more features of an Apple platform. But the sample apps have a second important purpose: Each of them is intended to give you ideas for your own apps. In fact, you'll find many published apps based on these sample apps, some of them with very little customization.
In short, my suggestion is to get into the Apple sample apps as soon as you're ready for them. Before long you'll have more app ideas than time to build them.
Hope that helps!

New Airport Extremes any more reliable for wifi backups?

I was one of the many folks who spend hours configuring and reconfiguring my network a few years back trying to get Time Machine to play nice with my USB hard drive for the sole purpose of daily automatic time machine backups over WiFi. Something about Apple not technically supporting this practice, but that it *could* work, *sometimes*, *for some people*. In my experience I could get it working for a matter of days at a time before the link would break and my backups would become inaccessible by either wifi or by direct USB connection, forcing me to re backup my entire HD each time it happened, until I eventually gave up on it all together.
Fast forward to today, I still hate having to go through the process of finding my hard drive, plugging into power, finding a USB cable, etc etc etc every time I want to make sure my backups are up to date. Thus, it gets done very infrequently and therefore makes my backups far less useful if I should ever need them.
As luck would have it, over the holidays I acquired the NEW Airport Extreme w/ 802.11n... have these issues been fixed?
All I want is a reliable, daily, automatic time machine backup, OVER wifi, THROUGH the new airport, TO my USB connected Phantom drive. Can it be???

As luck would have it, over the holidays I acquired the NEW Airport Extreme w/ 802.11n... have these issues been fixed?
Apple now officially supports Time Machine backups to a hard drive at the USB port of the "new" AirPort Extreme.
See this Apple support document for confirmation. Look down near the bottom of th document for the pertinent info.

"Wireless" and "reliable" are two words that really do not go together well, but your chances have improved with the new AirPort Extreme.

When I log off Firefox, there is a long delay, then an error message: Firefox not responding. Then it eventually logs off. The side bar scroll up and down also experiences delays. This is a new problem--I've used Firefox for years. Help!

I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox to see if the problem would go away--no luck. It's not my mouse nor my keyboard. Internet Explorer does not have this problem nor any other application. When typing on websites, there is also a delay when the cursor is tabbed, and typing experiences fits and starts as well. I'm going crazy!

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Any troubleshooting tips for sync issues?

Hi,
Very new to Mobile Server. Started work on a new project that uses mobile server and we are running into a sync issue. The sync was working but we have hit an issue now.
Not sure of the cause and looking for pointers on where to look, what are some common problems, etc.
Thanks!
Bill

which version are you using.
your question is very general, perhaps some specific details would help, e.g. olite version, client type, error message etc
generally we had many issues with
connectivity especially through gprs (3g) , we used specific sim cards in handhelds that created a vpn style secure connection to the server and although the connection was established some times the packages size was greater so we had to adjust the connection settings on the device so that olite works during sync.
we had a lot of cases where olite was getting out of sync and was forcing a full refresh, thus losing the client's data. some times the data was entered in the error queue , an email was send to the admin but noone was watching anyway.
and many others.
check connection, check integrity (make sure that not 2 clients change the same table rows) make sure the server doesnt change parts of the database that the clients will change too (thus youll get conflicts).
make sure the sync remains stable, sometimes if you lose connection during a sync a full refresh might be needed (actually a patch was supposed to fix this)
we had issues with the sequences also but mainly because of bad design from our part, which we fixed later on.
etc...please provide some info on what error you are getting.
in general if you are getting an error code then you are probably going to find the solution. check the message reference in help to see what the error means, then try to see on the client what changes were made. check error queue/perhaps a log? server traces might help(might). also it depends what kind of sync are you making, your own or using the olite sync
