I've lost the histogram - and other adjustment woes

I filed a rather long description of this to the Aperture Feedback, but as I suspect that is a "write only" channel I thought I'd ask here (and I did review a bunch of posts with no luck)
I have a brand spanking new MacPro quad, with 2 NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT video cards (I mention this only because of Aperture's use of GPUs).
In summary, I imported a project that works fine on my MacBook Pro, but on my MacPro the histogram in the adjustments HUD is gone. When I try to make an adjustment, a HUGE black triangle appears where the preview image was, the histogram magically appears, I make the adjustment (the slider is not smooth), a full second passes and the preview is updated with the adjustment -- and, of course, the histogram disappears. When the system is feeling particularly nasty, the preview comes up completely black after the adjustment (although the thumbnail appears to be updated properly).
Suffice it to say I've tried everything but yank out the RAM and the GPUs... I've seen this on some images in other projects. I created a new Aperture library and loaded some images (from different cameras) -- all exhibit this behavior. I've stopped and restarted Aperture. I've shutdown and restarted the MacPro. I've reverted my profiles for the displays to the Apple defaults. I've started considering moving to Lightroom...
Aperture is such a wonderful program when it works... I've had a bunch of minor issues with the program over the past year I've been using it - but this is insane.
If anyone can provide some clues as to how to fix this I'd appreciate it.
Thanks,
- dave
Note: A small update to my post. I thought the histogram had disappeared, but upon closer inspection it is there -- but it reads as if it were a completely black image (e.g., all of the values are in the first column). Another clue...

Lost the HSL and colour Adjustment tool bar

I seem to have lost the HSL and Colour adjustment tool bar on the drop down on the right hand side of the screen.
Can anybody help?
thanks!!

1. Right Click (Cmd-Click) on one of the other headings in the Develop Panel (Basic, Tone Curve etc).
2. This will bring up a selection menu of which items you want to be visible.
3. Re-select "Adjustments" and the HSL/Color/ B&W should reappear.

Should be on the installation discs that came with your MBP. If you've two, it's usually the second one, not the System installation disc.

Any ideas how I can do this?

HT5622 Do you think that apple would exchange my ipod gen 5 for another one because this one well, the screen isn't broken but the inside is half black and other colors? When it happened it was in its otter box, and i lost the receipt and got it on may?

Do you think that apple would exchange my ipod gen 5 for another one because this one well, the screen isn't broken but the inside is half black and other colors? When it happened it was in its otter box, and i lost the receipt and got it on may? How much do you think it would cost please help me.

If covered by warranty. See:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
Then if the iPod is within warranty, not abused Apple will exchange it at no cost. You can do it at an Apple store
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

I have upgraded Apple Aperture from version 2 to version 3 and I'm having a problem with the "Highlights and Shadows" adjustment. According to the user's manual, I should have access to an advanced disclosure triangle which would allow me to adjust mid contrast, colour, radius, high tonal width and low tonal width.
If anyone has any suggestions as to how to access this advanced section, I'd be most grateful.

Hi David-
The advanced adjustments in the Highlights & Shadows tool were combined into the "Mid Contrast" slider in Aperture 3.3 and later. If you have any images in your library that were processed in a version of Aperture before 3.3, there will be an Upgrade button in the Highlights & Shadows tool in the upper right, and the controls you asked about under the Advanced section. Clicking the Upgrade button will re-render the photo using the new version of Highlights & Shadows, and the Advanced section will be replaced with the new Mid Contrast slider. With the new version from 3.3 you probably don't need the Advanced slider, but if you want to use the older version you can download it from this page:

I tried to re-synch it with the PC iTunes, but no luck, even when re-checking the boxes for Outlook...

I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer?

I have cs4 installed on my old computer, i have since lost the disk and serial #s. Is there any way to recover this information and install the programs on my new computer? I used my old computer for college and haven't used it in awhile, now I have a job that can benefit from having those programs. I was wondering if ADOBE keeps records or something to where I can download the programs on my new MacBook and use my old serial #s.

Find your serial number quickly

My iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon.

1. my iphone4 lost the camera and app store icon. how can i get it back?
2. i try to restore the phone through the itunes. but it showed that there is a connection error (with the internet?!!)

i found this from the site:
Exchange 2007 has active sync policies. One of the options is to disallow the camera.
To resolve the problem do the following.
1) Open Exchange Management Console
2) Click "Organization Configuration"
3) Click "Client Access"
4) On the right you should see your active sync policies. Right click the policy and chose "Properties"
5) Click the "Device" tab
6) Check "Allow camera"
but what is Exchange 2007? i think i am not using it...

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then the steps half-way down this page should let you reset them : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

I´ve lost the libraries and new songs in iTunes

When I opened iTunes today I notice that I´d lost the libraries and all new songs. Suddenly I only had olg songs and apps.
I had the backup of the computer in Time Machine. Is there a way to fomat (or delete) and restore iTunes without formating and restoring the computer?

I am confused when you say you opened it but had lost the library. The library is actually a single file and when you open iTunes it will either open the file with content, or it will automatically create a new blank library.
Do you keep your collection on an external drive?

I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

I swapped my iphone from apple store india and my imei of iphone changed and i have lost the box and bill of phone , how can i get my old imei number.

Of course it changed. A phone's IMEI number is unique to each phone. The IMEI number for a phone does not transfer to another phone.
Since your iPhone was exchanged under warranty without having the box and bill for the original purchase, you don't need it now either. The exchange under warranty remains under the warranty for the original purchase.

After syncing I lost my iBooks and other apps. How do I recover them?

I lost my iBooks and other apps aftery syncing. How do I recover them?

If they are on your computer's iTunes then you can sync them back across to the iPad. If they are not on your computer, then as long as they are still available in the store and you use the same iTunes account as you originally used to buy/download them then you should be able to re-download them for free : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
