Imac, aperture, sraw, 10.6.3 - problem
I have a problem after updating to 10.6.3
Picture under the reference
http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s103/uspehov-info/diff/2010-04-02120750.png
I use imac 24 2.16 3GB
aperture 3.0.2
canon eos 5d mk2 (shooting in!!!!!! sRAW!!!!!!!)
Usual RAW - it is normal
The problem has appeared after updating to 10.6.3
At photo export - artefacts are not present
At change of an exposition or curves or any other parametre - artefacts change the kind and at export they are not present!!!
Add me to the group. Using Imac 24 with the same video card. I had an occassional grahic bug on 10.6.2, but only after doing multiple adjustments. 10.6.3 really caused the bug to happen on virtually every photo including new RAW images that had no adjustments. Read in another post to install SL over the 10.6.3 and then do 10.6.2 combo (i had originally done the 10.6.3 combo) and trash the aperture plist preferences, did permissions, did consistency check/repair on AP3.02 library. I did all of that and it didn't make any difference. I even had graphic issues when filling out the Aperture Feedback Bug report (Aperture had already crashed), so issues are not entirely with Aperture, unless AP is sucking out all of the memory to cause the issue. Do we have defective 7300gt cards?, did SL cause the video card to go crazy? How to correct? Out of warranty and read where not worth it replace video card. Will Apple read these posts? Submit more feedback reports. AP3.02 was really working quite well and I'm not very happy with unknown solution

Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems.
Aperture 3.2.1 Import problems. I can not import. Complete system hang when I try. Have to force reboot. I made a new user and everything seems to work fine under that user. I must have something conflicting in my admin user but I have had no luck finding it. I have tried rebuilding the library (all three options) but to no avail. Aperture will run fine as long as I do not try to import. This is very frustrating, any help would be greatly appreciated.
27" imac 3.06 intel core 2 duo 12 GB RamHello Tim,
If a problem only occurs when working from one account, then very often faulty user preferences or presets are the cause. Try to remove your user preference file, and if that should not suffice, move your presets to the desktop, as described in the Aperture 3: Trouble Shooting Basics:
(Caution: I see, you are running Lion: Because of Lion's non-preemptive Process Management you can never be sure if an application really has quit, even if it looks in the Dock as if the Application has finished. So it is very important to log off, before you launch Aperture again, after you changed something in the libraries like described below.)
Delete the user preferences
You can resolve many issues by restoring Aperture back to its original settings. This will not impact your image files or your library. To reset your Aperture user preference settings to their original state, do the following:
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Preferences in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Remove the "com.apple.Aperture.plist" file from the Preferences folder. (and log off and log in again!)
Move the user created presets, keyword lists, and so on...
Quit Aperture.
In the Finder choose Go to folder from the Go menu.
Type~/Library/Application Support/Aperture in the "Go to the folder" field. Press the Go button.
Move the contents of this folder to your Desktop (and log off and log in again!)
Start Aperture and see if the issue is resolved. Note: Permanently removing these files will delete presets, metadata sets, keyword sets, and so on. If moving these files to the Desktop does not resolve the issue, move them back to their original location to restore the presets, adjustment chain presets, and metadata sets. In no case will removing these files affect metadata, keywords, or adjustments already applied to images.
If none of this should help, try to boot into safe mode (hold down shift after the start up chime), to see if you have conflicting plugins or video drivers etc. installed in your admin library.

After installing the new Yosemite OS on my iMac I can no longer send email. I can receive email, but not send. I use gmail and can send email on the gmail (google) site, but not on "mail" on my iMac. Any others with this problem? What should we do?
My gmail, which is correctly configured for Mail with gmail SMTP and Google IMAP, works for awhile on Mail, which I leave open while working on other applications. But several times a day I get msg from Google: "We recently blocked a sign-in attempt to your Google Account" . . . and requiring me to verify my account details, re-enter passwords, confirm security settings (or change them from "disable" to "enable less secure methods" and so on). In Mail I also have tried "taking all accounts online", and re-entering my gmail password inside Mail account settings. These steps successfully re-set comms between gmail and Mail ... for awhile, then it happens again. Enough occurrences over a work day that I just quit Mail and revert to accessing gmail directly. Apple Care advisor and an Apple knowledge base article say that Apple can't deal with this, as gmail is third-party app, and they refer me to gmail, and so far I've found nothing helpful there.
From today I also have several instances of a window saying "Mail has unexpectedly closed" and asking me to Re-open it.
I also use Yahoo mail, which stops working with Mac Mail at the same time as gmail, but I do not receive notices to re-verify from Yahoo.
I recently upgraded from Mavericks to Yosemite. The Mail problem happened occasionally with Mavericks but is far more frequent with Yosemite. -

My iMac has developed a video display problem. Everything now appears in a strange, cartoonish way. Purples, greens, blues. Can this be fixed, and if so, any idea how much it might cost? Also, could I output to a seperate monitor? I plan to replace the unit , but cannot right now. Thanks!Go to System Preferences > Universal Access > Seeing.
In the Display area, reset it to "Black on white" by clicking that checkbox.
You can also reset it by pressing Command-Option-Control-8 -
New iMac 24" 2.8GHz plagued with problems
I ordered a new iMac 24" 2.8GHz with 2GB RAM, 500GB Hard drive, on September 16th (last day for the academic Adobe CS3 deal, and the iPod deal (but unfortunately too early for me to get Leopard)). Not my first Mac (oh how I love my IIcx), but my first new one. Sadly, though I've been noticing one strange issue after another.
First and most frightening to me, is the fans. They never spin up. No matter what I'm doing, they are always at their lowest setting. Doing some work with Photoshop and Dreamweaver earlier today had my PSU up to 160°F and the CPU spiking above 150°F. Upon seeing this, I did some tests. With Lightwave rendering a complex scene with Radiosity, and Quicktime playing a few movies, Garageband running, and a DVD playing my PSU was above 180°F and CPU way above 160°F. ...And still not a sound out of the fans.
This is a problem I noticed shortly after I got the computer and so started using smcFanControl to raise the minimum speeds, but still it would overheat and not raise the fan speeds and I'd have to do it myself.
Am I mistaken in thinking that the fans (since they have the ability) should spin up when the computer gets hot? I know I've seen older iMacs and Powerbooks do that, heck even the cheap Dells in the labs at school will do that. I should have to manually control something like that. It's just not always feasible (such as when in the middle of SimCity 4 which hides the menu bar and doesn't allow Command-Tab).
SimCity brings me to the next thing I've noticed. It's filled with graphical glitches such as all the cars and the highlighted squares when I'm zoning land all are blocky and checkerboarded, resulting in only half of the cars actually being visible. It does it with other random things like smoke and wind power plants. I thought perhaps this was a side-effect of Rosetta, but the Windows version has the same glitches. This says to me that it's a hardware problem. I also noticed that the shadows of the characters in the Lego Star Wars demo have the same sort of blocky glitching and it showed itself in the very end of the Halo demo level. Unfortunately I don't have any graphic-intensive games that don't run in Rosetta, but if it's doing it in Windows too...
Third, it's still freezing. Now, I was lucky in that mine only did that awful freeze a couple times, and I thought that with all the software updates I'd never have to worry about it again, but it happened again today. The computer is completely up-to-date (so reports System Update), but today after I had given it time to cool off after all my tests I came back to it and the screen just froze. Everything was still running in the background (confirmed by iTunes and by logging in via SSH remotely), but the screen was completely frozen with the spinning beachball of doom. Logging in via VNC showed the same frozen screen (I tried screenshots and they showed the same). Oddly though, when I force-quit the process LoginWindow everything went away and went to a blue screen with the spinning wait logo it shows on startup (which caught my attention because the loginwindow process was "not responding" the other day).
And finally, a problem I only really noticed tonight, I had a 50% grey filling a document, and filling the screen in Photoshop. The colour was uneven with slightly darker spots in places, and the upper-left corner significantly "bluer" than the rest of the screen.
Since I know it'll be the first thing suggested, yes, I've already tried resetting SMC ... three times... and just last thursday the thing was off and unplugged for four hours while I came home for Thanksgiving, no luck. I've also tried zapping the PRAM, again, no good. While I've not tried reformatting and reinstalling, I'm quite sure it won't make a difference considering all the problems listed above have shown up in Windows as well. If it's showing up in two completely different systems, then it's definitely not a software issue.
I'm just wondering if anyone has any ideas I haven't thought of, or has had similar experiences. It looks like early in the week I'll be having a nice long phone call to AppleCare (good thing I bought the extended warranty).
I'm really disappointed. I've got an old Classic and a IIcx from 1990 and a "Sawtooth" PowerMac G4 that all still work great, and here I've got a two-month old iMac with all of the above problems.
I've got screenshots of some glitches and temperature graphs, but I can't seem to connect to my webserver right now, so I'll post them later
Message was edited by: asanthaialright. reformat, no longer have and fan-controlling software running, SMC reset, software update, etc. New, precise test using System Load to add a load to the cpu, Hardware Monitor for the temperatures, and TFMonitor for fan speeds. Running both CPUs at 99.5%*, the CPU fan sped up to just over 1500 rpm (HDD and ODD fans stayed relatively the same), from its resting 1198, with the temperatures maxing out at:
PSU: 176°F (80°C)
CPU Core 1: 164°F (74°C)
CPU Core 2: 171°F (77°C)
System Load and Hardware Monitor (or Temperature monitor) are from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
and TF monitor is from: http://ciderhouse.ivory.ne.jp/wp/english/
Now, to someone with more experience than I, are these numbers within reasonable operating range? And if the CPU fan can go as high as 3300 rpm, why would it not go any higher than half that? (smcFanControl reported 3300 as the max before I reformatted, but after reformatting I can't seem to get it to work)
It just doesn't make sense to me. ....and I'm not fond of the heat radiating off the monitor...
*I tested it up at almost 100% because with the work I do, I often do run around there. From time to time I do 3D renders and video work, and Photoshop almost never closes on my computer. -
The new firefox twitter app (mini tab on left of page) is great - except it disappears every time I shut down the computer and I have to remove and then reinstall it every day!?? It won't appear on the page until I do. I am working on an iMac - if that is causing the problem ...? Thanks.
Eustace, thank you so much for writing back. I will try what you suggested!!
thx for your reply - apparently when I went to the Apple store a long time ago, they restore maybe photos and itunes etc from my external hard drive (passport). I guess at that time they reinstalled an earlier operating system than my macbook came with and that somehow corrupted FileVault. apparently there was no sparse bundle (whatever that is) for my old admin account and they said that ever since the install of the older OS that it was actually NEVER backing up anything in my admin account.
Then, I bought Time Capsule and starting backing up to that instead. I started having problems with it being slow etc and then StartUp Disk full errors and didn't know what to do, so I "Restored" from Time Capsule and that's when I lost everything in my Admin account and was locked out when I tried to log in - it said File Vault error ..."
anyway - that's THAT sad story. I was told to create a new admin account and I've basically been trying to start over - even though I have a partial save of my computer in Crash Plan and I DO see a sparse bundle listed in there, but I just don't know enough about computers to know if it's something I can get back or if I am just totally doomed.
I'm afraid to reinstall anything because if there is even a remote shot that the other files are still floating around in my computer, I feel like that chance will be shot forever. I need to hire McGee from NCIS, I just KNOW he could get those files back for me!!! -
Aperture 2.1.3 Export Problems with Cropped Photos
I ran into an odd problem after updating to 2.1.3. I was trying to upload to a Picasa album via "aperture-picasa-plugin", which I had used before without problems. The resulting export had problems with two photos I had cropped from landscape to portrait size. The resulting exports had the entire uncropped/original content "squeezed" into a photo matching the cropped size, so the exported pics were squished making everything look tall and skinny. (I found it especially odd that stuff I had cropped out was back in, but the size was cropped.)
I assumed it was a problem with the plugin, so I exported to a file straight from Aperture and had the same problem. I had other crops that worked OK, but they appear to all be landscape to landscape with no change in aspect ratio.
Is anyone else having this problem?YES!
I have seen this show up as well. I'm also using Aperture 2.1.3. I too thought it was the fault of the picasa plugin... but when I, like you, started doing my exports directly to files I noticed that they still had the same problem.
The horizontal 16x9 seems to be particularly vulnerable... And, yes, it almost looks as if the (pre-crop) master has been "squished" into the aspect ratio of the (post-crop) version. It is very strange, very annoying, and very intermittent. Although, I found that if I quit aperture, restart then re-export... I have better luck.
Boy, am I relieved to find somebody else who is having this problem. For a while there I thought I was going nuts.

My iMac Version 10.6.8 has problems starting up. I often get a white screen without the apple icon.
My iMac Version 10.6.8 has problems starting up. I often get a white screen without the apple icon. Then I must turn the computer off and restart. Restarting will usually bring up the Apple icon and the start screen. What could be causing this? And how can I resolve this issue. My Mac is still under warranty, I've had it just 7 months.
Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC.

I recently purchased a used imac with os 10.6 The problem I am having the admin in accounts in system preferences I would like to change so I can download some items I have tried different things to do this but I cannot figure it out. thanks in advance.
Thats the problem I bought it from a very large thrift store. i went back asked the person where I bought the computer he said we can not give you the password. I thought buying it there was a good idea because not only was it a nice deal but it was like I was maknig a donation. I know that i messed up because i do not have the installation disk. I bought it without thinking. Until recently I was still using an old G4 9.0 os. I guess you can say I have been out of the loop for a while.

if you have internet sharing on imac with Mountain Lion its stil problem with sleep mode ! why ???
Log a bug with Apple, with whatever details you can provide. In the interrim, consider acquiring a router; either a repurposed x86 box running open-source networking or gateway software, or a commercial device.

Is it common for imac 20" isight to have noise problems?
Hi there,
I ordered imac 20" isight and currently waiting for delivery. I am getting woried over these "buzzing noise" and other noise problems reported over and over again here on these boards. Can more experienced users of these boards, apple insiders and anyone else give me your opinion:
Is it common for imac 20" isight to have noise problems?
I am really considering to get 17" if there is any real information it is considerably more quiet.
Thank you in advance.We have a new 17" and 20"
The 17" is virtually silent, the 20" there is some fan noise.
I find it annoying, although it is 100% quieter than my old PowerMac, which I got used to! -
Sorry for the lengthy title, I wasn't clear what I was doing.
Anyway I have two Macs. iMac from 2008 and 2011 MacbookAir. Airdrop I thought really poor when it appeared and no competiiton for DropCopy. My iMac, I'm pretty sure ran Airdrop to begin with but now at just over 3 years old is effectively obselete. Then to add insult to injury DropCopy is OK on the MBA but crashes repeatedly on the iMac.
So, I removed the Dropcopy and went to the App Store to reinstall it but it showed as "installed". That's it. What's Windows 8 like?the.architect wrote:

Go and have a look but you are nit gonna like what you see.
You have not mentioned what systems you are running on the two Macs, if they are on a network etc. That info would help a fair bit.

New iMac & Aperture 2 & Photoshop CS4
I'm purchasing a new 21 inch iMac, 3.33Ghz, 8GB, 1 TB, & ATA 4670. My ? is simply is this new imac appropriate for using these 2 programs? Raw photos. Nikon D90. Oops, 2nd ?. Does Aperture work with Ps CS4 fluidly, ie. without problems?
Yes that would work very well, however from a screen real estate perspective I'd probably go with the 27" iMac. Also do not purchase the additional 4 GB of RAM from Apple. You can purchase it for significantly less from dependable vendors such as Crucial and OWC. If you are in the US the difference in price would be $200 Apple vs. $89 OWC.

New iMac Aperture 3 refuses to run
Why is it the ONLY app that won't run on my new iMac is an Apple pro app?
It asks for a serial number, I put in my Aperture 3 serial number then it asks for the 'original' serial number since it's an upgrade (why is won't validate a serial number that's been used for a couple of years now is well beyond my ability to understand) so I put in the "original' serial number (version 1 i think) and it says it's invalid but it is the original serial number. If it wants the aperture 2 number then a) it should ask for it and b) I don't have it. I have the original and the upgrade.
So now I have work to do and a program that won't run. Thanks Apple. Merry Christmas.
Any solutions?
Or is it time to buy lightroom and try to figure out a way to get my 1000's of pics out of Aperture databases?
Oh, and iPhoto says it can't (won't) open any of the Aperture databases because I need to open them in Aperture 3.3 even though I've been running 3.4.3.
It seems totally screwed up.
Any ideas?
Sorry for the rant but Apple products are supposed to work - they always used to at least. Never had this kind of problem upgrading to a new mac ever.Thanks, Frank, but I went that route yesterday. I have both my order_acknolwedgement and shipping_notification for Aperture 1.5 (Feb 2007) and Apple will NOT take those as proof of purchase! It seems you have to keep the original invoice. Who keeps invoices for 5 years?
When I try to go to Apple order services (since I do have an order number), all I get is "Apple Order Services Are Busy Try Again Later" (yesterday and today).
I have never had such trouble getting a legitimate copy of software to work. I founded and grew a software company of my own with over 250,000 users and we'd be out of business treating legitimate customers this way.
I'll pay 150 for LIghtroom 4 and all the hassle of moving over to it rather than give Apple an unneccessary additional 79 dollars to get my bought and paid for copy of Aperture to work.
