I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported! Why is it taken so long and seem to stop but the activity status goes up ever so slowley???? Im using an iMac 7,1 2.4 GHz with 6GB of memory running 10.8.2 what am I doing wrong???

Rendering will take a very long time - I once needed 6 hours for a shorter high definition movie with plenty of effects.
What theme are you using and what settings?
The "places" theme needs a good network connection.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space.
And the finished movie will need plenty of disk space. Have you checked the available space on your disk?
What exactly happens when Aperture fails to render the movie? Are there any diagnostics, error messages in the console window, that relate to Aperture? Does Aperture alway stop at the same image or video clip?
if all fails, you could render your slideshow in two parts and combine the two videos on your DVD.

In the middle of my Aperture slide show the color set on the custom text has locked to an old color I was using and will not go to a new color (white)

In the middle of creating my second Aperture slide show I find I cannot change the color of the text (even though I select it in selected slides & default slides and in various colors choices) to a new one. The first color that I was using keeps appearing. Where is the solution please ?

I personally like to Crop, and then use PNG for my screen-caps. If I need more images, say to show other Palettes, etc., then I do one each for those shots.
We see a lot of full-screen caps posted, where aggressive JPEG is used, and nothing can be read. That is especially true with images, like Adobe Encore's Flow-chart, where there is a lot of text and linking being shown.
Just my personal preferences.

How to arrange photos in Aperture slide shows to the beat of the music?

Is there anyone that knows how to arrange photos to the beat of the music in Aperture slide shows? I have tried to do a search for this topic, looked at "help" and still can get things to work properly. The "beat of music" command seems to be grayed out. Is there a bug in the software? Any help would be appreciated.

I have been following this thread with great interest. I have tried to do this in Aperture as well. Jumping ahead just a bit to what might be David's next issue, once we figure out why the option is not available to him.
For me once the music has been added the " Align slide to the beat" is available. However it doesn't seem to do anything.
I have accomplished this in iMovie and Final Cut Express. In both of these programs you have to actually mark the beats for things to work. You mark the beats and the software sets the play duration to match. This is pretty easy in iMovie. I am hoping for a similar or better interface in Aperture 3. How is this accomplished in Aperture?

Question about Aperture slide shows

Question about Aperture slide shows. How can I eliminate banding in a blue sky when photos are displayed in Aperture Slide shows?

What kind of banding? Do you have a screenshot?
It could be jpg compression related, I think the previews are all jpgs.

I have an Ipad 2 and here is what I am trying to accomplish. On my laptop I connect to a remote desktop connection to access a shared program we use for reporting. How do I set up my Ipad to access this remote server? Thanks for the help.

Close ... before going for a specific Cisco app ... lets find out some details:
Host we need more details:
What is your server environment (Windows Server, or Mac OS X Server, or Linux)?
What security is implemented in your environment - as what is restricted (RDP for all or specifc credentials on all machines? Are you part of local admin group to the server you wish to connect)?
Does your environment Support CISCO IPSec connection? If so use Settings> VPN and IPSec tab to enter VPN details, if not then go with above suggestion. IF your restricted to RSA then either built in VPN settings or 3rd party app for RSA would suffice.
Finally, there are many RDP applications out there I use "Mocha RDP Light" (free minimal ads when launched not when connecting).

Just updated to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared. Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB! What is going on and how do I fix this?

Just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS8 and most of my music disappeared. Attempted to sync with iTunes to get it back but iTunes now says I am 26GB over capacity and "Other" files are taking up just over 29GB! What is going on and how do I fix this?

I had restored my iPhone 5 to factory settings and that cleared the problematic "Other" problem. Flash forward a couple weeks and the problem has once again resurfaced.
I tried updating iTunes and iOS to the newest versions and the problem still persists.
I'm officially ready to switch to Windows Phone or Android now...
*edit*
A Google search with results restricted to the last month shows that this problem seems to be becoming more and more common.

You're probably on OS X Lion?
I had the same problem as you. I used Software Update to update Logic Express to the latest version, and then it ran without any problems.

Setting computer name on a VM created from template (SCSM, SCVMM and SCORCH)

We've set up some basic server provisioning automation to see how it works. It's a fairly simple setup so far:
1. User submits ticket via the SCSM portal; the ticket includes the desired machine name.
2. Ticket requires our team's approval before the workflow continues into Orchestrator.
3. If approved, an Orchestrator runbook is kicked off, using SCVMM to create the server from a template.
The resulting server has the correct machine name in SCVMM, but the machine name inside the OS is randomly generated (the template currently has * in OS Configuraiton -> Identity Information in the VM Template properties).
What's the best way to make the computer name inside the OS reflect the desired machine name? I can think of a number of ways we could accomplish this, but I don't know SCORCH/VMM that well yet. I'm wondering if I have overlooked something simple inside
the existing process we're using. I suspect that, if there is an easy solution, it would lie in VMM.
Many thanks for your time and consideration.

I've got the Guest OS Profile partially working, but frustratingly, it doesn't seem to be applying all of the settings.
Here is what I have done so far:
1. A Guest OS Profile has been set up which includes all of the settings I am currently trying to test: domain join, feature installation (nothing fancy for now, just Powershell and Telnet Client), and a KMS key for Server 2012.,
2. Orchestrator Runbook gets the existing OS Profile, creates a new one based on the VM, and uses the parameter -ComputerName to pass the name of the VM to the Guest OS Profile. The new Guest OS PRofile is showing up correctly in VMM, with the right settings.
3. The runbook then deploys the new VM from template, using the newly set up Guest OS Profile. The machine is set up correctly, and will boot. Not all of the settings from the Guest OS Profile transfer over, however. The Domain Join and KMS portions work
without a problem. The features I have tried to add are not installed, though, and the computer name remains randomly generated.
I know the Guest OS Profile must be getting used, since the machine gets domain joined; the template does not include domain join credentials. What I can't work out is why some of the settings are being applied while others are not.

Glitches in Aperture slide show playback

I am using my MacBook Pro to present a 38 minute Aperture (3.3.2) slideshow with a projector. My slide show includes a few video clips and overall the images and video are sized at 1280x720. The show has about 40 audio clips of mostly narration but also some music. Mostly the show runs very well and I think it's great. Occasionally there are glitches in the playback. Video stops moving during a transition (1 second dissolve) or the last word in an audio clip will be cut off. This is the most important issue to fix. Some image transitions stutter a bit before continuing as usual.
The weird thing is that these problems are not consistent. They don't always happen at the same place. I am wondering if I might be taxing the limits of the system. I make sure to shut off everything not needed, such as any other applications, unneeded menubar monitoring items, etc. The show runs perfectly in the preview window or just on the MacBook Pro screen. It is just when I connect it to a projector or TV that I have problems.
If I run Activity Monitor during the show preview I can see Aperture usually running over 85%, often over 95% and it shows virtual mamory usage over 1.35 GB. I just have 4MB of RAM. Do you think not enough RAM is the issue?
Another thing I notice is that I have 2 types of video clips in the show. I have completed time-lapse videos, usually about 1.5 minutes, and these run perfectly, audio & visual. In other words these are the product of video export from a completed video project. The other video parts are short video clips from my video library, usually less than 10 seconds, some with built-in audio. These are regular QT movies. Most were 1080 HD clips converted to 1280x720 when I found the 1080p clips wouldn't play well. Is there any particular type of video clip that requires more intense work on the part of the processor in order to play well? What type would be best? Maybe a lower quality setting? I probably used a high quality setting.

I'm a bit surprised to see no responses to my question. But for anyone else who looked at the question, here's how things progressed. When I am presenting I am doing so directly within Aperture and not by playing a slideshow movie. However, I learned that Aperture makes the necessary resolution previews at the time of rendering the movie so I made a slideshow movie even though I had no use for it. After I exported a slide show movie the show seems to run better within Aperture. Less glitches, etc. I present this show twice a week at Fundy National Park during July & August so getting it running flawlessly is my goal..
The next step was increasing my RAM to 8GB and this helped another level. Now the show runs quite well. No more dropped words at the end of audio clips. Almost all of the image transitions work well. It is just when going through movie sections that playback sometimes stutters a bit.

Aperture Slide Shows vs iPhoto?

Is their a difference between the two slide shows...iphoto vs Aperture?

Hi there, there is actually quite a substantial difference in how slideshows are "approached" inthe two applications.
In iPhoto you can easily select images, set a transition and a music track and "save" that slideshow for later use.
In Aperture, I do not think you can save the slideshow in such a way, but when you select an album or some images to show them as a slideshow, you pick a slideshow preset. You can have as many as you like, and also chose to show for example four images at a time (as opposed to iPhoto's 1).
Why would you want to do this, some may ask - well, you can get some benefit by doing so if you have a large monitor and see a slideshow more as a prettier preview/comparison tool for image impact. Aperture let's you add music to your slideshow presets as well.
So, depending on how you look at it and what your preference is, it is either more flexible or less comfortable
Hope this answers your question.

How do I edit out the first 20 seconds of music in an Aperture slide show?

I don't want to use the first 20 seconds of a piece of music in a slide show. How do I start the music 20 seconds into the song? Thanks.

Since no one else has answered, here is my solution:
I use a free program called Audacity http://audacity.sourceforge.net
I export the track from iTunes, trim with Audacity and then re-import the new version back to iTunes (".trimmed)" so that it appears in Aperture music selection.
(I have no connection/investment whatsoever of any kind in the developer of Audacity!)

How can an Aperture slide show be burned to a DVD?

I see Aperture can be exported to Facebook and Twitter or MobleMe for use by other "freinds" on their computers. How can a Aperture produced Slideshow be provided to those that only can see the show on a tv set with a DVD player? I want to use the editing feathers in Aperture and not be limited to those available in the IDVD application.
Message was edited by: vaunfromsyracuse

You can't do that with Aperture.
What you can do is export your Slideshow as a Quicktime movie. You need a special application to create a DVD that can play in a DVD player. If you don't want to use iDVD use Toast or another such app.

Aperture slide show - very sluggish start

I have the most powerful Mac ever (MBP Retina 2,6 GHz) and to start a slide show looks not very impressive - that dreadful rainbow circle for 10-15 seconds every time and then waiting for another 10-15 sec. (+ two aperture crashes during one day). All fresh installations. It does not look very great .. Still something to be improved from the Apple part ?

How large is your slide show? A moderately sized slideshow on my MBP starts immediately, unless I use the "Places" theme and Aperture needs to connect to the internet to download maps. What theme are you using for your slideshow and how many images are in the slideshow?
Do the images in the slideshow have high quality previews?
two aperture crashes during one day)
Have you done any trouble shooting after the crashes? The reason for the crashes may be the same, that is causing the slide shows to start up so slowly.

Exporting aperture slide show

Trying unsuccessfully to export a large slide show 435 scanned slides to an external drive at approx 50% I get error message Unable to export Slideshow " A volume could not be found"
Any suggestions

When you exported your slide show what option did you select, when you view it on your computer what app are you using to view the slide show. Try importing it into iTunes if you have not done that then try to watch it via Apple TV, Or you can make a DVD or the show in iDVD.

I made a 46.5 min aperture slide show and tried a number of times to Export it so I can burn it to DVD to be viewed on an HDTV, so far with no success! I set computer sleep to 3hrs and let it export over night and the furthest i've gotten is 66% Exported
