Library rebuild on startup - what is missing ?

I rebuilt one of my smaller libraries and it ran without error. It did however reduce the library size by approximately 500MB. The library is only 70GB and has never been rebuilt before and is ~18-20 months since its creation.
Q. What has been deleted in the rebuild ? 500MB seems like a lot of eDust and iChaff for a rebuild.
Found nothing in the manual or my two aperture books to explain this reduction which is not clever. Did I loose images ?
Since getting a MacPro i've had a LOT of Aperture and two system-level panics.

Allen,
You may well be right. After i discovered the library compression i immediately copied the previous evening's backup library. I opened both pre and post rebuilt libraries and after an initial mismatch of 6 images made me think the worse, on checking the rejects, 6 were sitting on the cliffside. So i can confirm no apparent dataloss in the image count - phew. 0.7% is proportionately , but i'd still like to read in the Apple manuals that this sort of compression is normal. It help prove the Aperture team have thrashed the pants-off it in testing and written it up confidently. "To know" vs. "to have faith".
Recent crashes are around the x1900 video card. Permissions and hardware are fine. Crashing was evident before 10.4.11, only now worse in 1.5.6 with more video issues and some other new minor bugs in Aperture. Not convinced 1.5.6 and 10.4.11 have been through the test grinder sufficiently before release.
Have climbed the applecare support levels, on my third x1900 video card and chasing the alleged rev2 version. I'm not convinced it exists, if it does its not identifiable! Too busy working around issues currently. Will take time-out next week to climb applecare again.
This issue is though closed. No apparent image data lost. Suggestion to add write-up around rebuilds in manuals submitted.
Thanks.

"Failed to open midi support library". What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? What to do?

I own a new Macbook pro 15" quadcore with OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.4
When trying to start software Reason 7 I only get the message "Failed to open midi support library".
What is missing? And if so, how do I get it back? Reinstalling Mountain Lion did not solve anything.
What may I do? Is there separate MIDI-drivers or else that Macbook needs to be running audio at all?
My audiocard Apogee Duet 2 is´nt working well either and I cannot even open the MIDI-window in Mac,
so that road is blocked. I´ve seen more ppl having problem but found no explaination.
Some say to remove midi-drivers but that folder is empty (or hidden?) when opening.
Also, Garage Band cannot open. It´s no problem with graphic apps, only with audio/midi.
My 2011 Macbook pro13" with OS X Lion runs like a charm. So how can this be? It really puzzles my mind.
Have thoughts on having OS X Lion on the new Mac as well but will not do it until I know where the real problem is.
Hope there is an easy fix to it. Thanks in advance.

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

How to check what is missing from iTunes library?

Today I moved my entire iTunes library onto my external hard drive as I needed to reinstall Windows. I had 622 artists at the time. I copied over the entire My Music folder to my external hard drive before formatting my hard drive to make sure I didn't miss any files.
When the process of installing Windows was complete, and I had transferred my library back onto the PC and into the new My Music folder, iTunes now said that I have 619 artists in my library. However, there are still 622 artist folders in the iTunes Media/Music folder.
Can anyone recommend ways to accurately check what is missing, and suggest why the number is now lower? I have artists in my library with East Asian artist tags that have Sort Artist tags with English characters, so checking the folders in iTunes Media/Music against the iTunes library wouldn't be very accurate, as the orders are different.

Hi xtanto,
one more idea: I think that you can obtain some specific type of principal from the user principal object, and that type would differ for SSO and custom DB login.
E.g. FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getExternalContext().getUserPrincipal() returns a JAZNUserAdaptor instance under OC4J, which object contains this specific type of principal object somewhere in the getSubject().getPrincipals().iterator(). Then you can tell which login module is in use by checking if you have a DBUserPrincipal or a RealmPrincipal. (Note that these classes are just guesses.)

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

Does TM overwrite or just replace what's missing?

When I went on a business trip recently I had to delete about 15GB worth of music from iTunes to free up some hard drive space. When I got home i hooked up my iPhone to sync it and thought it would transfer all the music I had deleted. Needless to say it only transferred the purchased content and not my older tracks from physical CDs.
Anyways... now I would like to go into Time Machine and replace JUST the files that I am now missing. However, this would be a laborious process so I would prefer to just click on the iTunes folder as a whole.
My question is: would this overwrite my current one and therefore delete any new files ive purchased? Or just replace what's missing?
Thanks in advance!

TM gives you several options when you are restoring something. you can skip restoring files, you can overwrite them or you can keep both the original and the backed up copy. however, when you do this to a whole folder it will replace the whole folder. so this is not convenient in your case. what i suggest you do is copy your current itunes library to a different location (say, to the desktop) and then restore the old one replacing the current one completely. then import music from the copy you made on the desktop.

IPhoto '09 library rebuild has no "Repair Library" option

Recently I've given in to doing some cleanup with regards to my iPhoto library. Looking around on the forums some people gave some tips on how to go about this, some suggested apps for purchase and some free scripts people made themselves. For some reason one app I was using couldn't find all of the dupes and would only find some, and the script I found would get interrupted and stopped at a point basically saying that a certain file isn't where it's supposed to be, probably due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto and having iPhoto do its job. So it seems the iPhoto Library isn't updated, and isn't updating. Attempted to do the library rebuild as a possible solution and the first option in the screenshot isn't available when i hold command + option keys as instructed
instead, this is what i get
re: automatic backup, my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission so that's not an option. Thanks.

The top screenshot is from iPhoto 11, the lower one is from iPhoto 09. That's why they are different.
Here's a thing: if this is the case
... due to a few times that I just manually deleted the photo from it's location instead of deleting it in iPhoto...
Your library is not fixable by iPhoto. You've corrupted it beyond repair.
Options now:
1. Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.
Depending on how much damage you've done this may or may not work. But it's free and worth a try.
2. Restore from a back up created before you damaged the Library. (BTW "my external drive that I normally backup to is currently out of commission" means "I don't have a back up", doesn't it?)
3. Create a new Library, recover your masters and start over from scratch.

Startup plug is missing

I developed a Webdynpro App. based on the Adaptive RFC method. My original application had a single window with several views. I had to delete my window and re-create it. I then added my views back to the new window. When I rebuild the project I get this error: "[APPNAME]:Startup plug is missing."
I have tried repairing and rebuilding, nothing works.
Any ideas?

Hi Kelly.
In the webdynpro explorer under the following path:
[your proyect] > [your principal component(*)] > Component Interface > Interface Views
Check that under Plugs tab of the interface view called [your window name]InterfaceView into Inbound Plugs area be the Default plug with the Startup property checked. If not exists this plug create it with the name Default and the startup property checked.
I hope that this helps u.
Best Regards.

Error while startup: msvcrt.dll missing

Hi,
on some boxes (maybe windows 2000 ) we get a error while startup: msvcrt71.dll missing ...
whatÂ´s the problem ?

Andre,
since this is difficult to answer without a detailed description of the use
case, could you please post information about the how and what you are
trying to start, i.e. the command line, the operating system and what
version of JRockit you are using and have installed.
The file msvcr71.dll is needed by a few launchers and libraries inside the
JRockit JDK but those cases should be covered if launching using e.g.
java.exe. The only case that comes to mind is if you are trying to load the
jvm.dll directly, if that is the case you should copy
<jrockit-jdk>/jre/bin/msvcr71.dll to
<jrockit-jdk>/jre/bin/jrockit/msvcr71.dll to see if it helps.
Best Regards

Hanging during library rebuild

I was finding way too many black triangles in my 135 GB library.
So I decided to try and rebuild the library using options 1,2, and 6 in the rebuild library option screen. The library is on a 500 GB USB external drive with nothing but the iphoto library on it. It is connected to a Intel Core Duo Mini running 10.6.8 and iphoto 9.1.5
I started in Wednesday October 5th.
The screen show:
"Examining photo library..."
and another window:
"Rebuilding library: 26560 Version restored."
The grey wheel is still spinning.
It has hung on this screen for 71 hours and counting...
I have a screenshot at this link:
/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/162/16299336-1.png
QUESTION:
1. Since my database is 135 GB with 26,560 photos/videos is it expected to take this long?
2. If not, then what can I do differently?

That's way too long. Quit iPhoto, use Force Quit if you have to. Then try rebuilding just the preferences option (#6) to see if you can get thru that. If you do then try #1 and #2.
I don't have a library that large but for a 2,500 photo library rebuilding only takes about a 40 seconds using those three options. So by scaling I would expect your library should take around 5 minutes. However, with the library on an external USB drive it will take longer. Don't know what the speed difference will be.
After #6 I'd try #1 next. The automatic backup of #2 may be damaged.
If none of the iPhoto rebuilds fix your library you're next step is this:
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Hi all,
I was getting messages that my Aperture Library was full, so made an appointment at my closest Mac store, but have to wait 2 days. They advise you to update saoftware before coming in, so I updated to Aperture 5.3.1. When I open it, I'm asked to update my library. When I select that option, I'm told that my library is full. Now I can't access my library at all. What should I do to access my library? Do I have to uninstall 5.3.1 and reinstall an older version?
Another problem I have recently encountered ... all the up and down scrollers on various screens have disappeared. They reappear fleetingly when I use my up and down arrowa, but I can't always catch them. How do I get my scrollers back?

Thank you so much for your patient guidance and screen captures.
You are welcome.
My external hard drive is properly formatted for Aperture, so I am currently copying my Aperture library to it. That will take hours since it is copying 101 GB.
o.k.
I understand that I need to clean some space on my internal hard drive and reformat the Aperture library to get back in operation.
You need to upgrade the Aperture library to be used with Aperture 3.5.1. That will happen automatically, when you first double click the copied lirary to open it in Aperture.
I'll also need to back up my external drive with a new external drive if I make space on my internal drive by removing some photos from there and store them on my current external drive.
What do you use for backup? If you are using TimeMachine it is better to have only the Time Machine backup on the Time Machine drive . In that case would I put the Aperture library and other data on a new drive and keep the old drive for backup.

I run a mac air on a single user account but multiple people using it, which is ok for the situation. All have their accounts in the apple mail app. what is missing for me is a separate password to access the mail account. otherwise anyone can see anyones
Any clue, how i can add a mail account to apple mail app, but with separate password / pin to open it.
Years ago there was a program called mail switcher which added this functionality, but thats gone.
cheers
Tom

They would have to be logged in as separate users in order not to see your account in Mail. Whatever accounts put in Mail under your account will show up. All mail accounts usually have there own user and password. The only thing you can do is to remove the password from Keychain and take the account offline so you don't keep getting prompts for passwords each time it checks for mail.
Not a great solution.
Best way is to give the other user their own user account with their own mail and enable fast user swithcing to log between the different users if all access the computer frequently.

How do I fully cancel a synchronization with flickr? How do I clean up my get my Aperture library to accurately reflect what's on Flickr?

I went to add one photo to my Flickr site yesterday and I must have had the whole project selected because it started to upload all 635 photos in the project. I realized this about an hour later when I came back and I managed to pause the synchronization, but I can't seem to cancel it. Clicking on Cancel Task doesn't do anything.
I need to cancel the rest of the synchronization, and then what I would like to do is somehow make sure that what I've chosen to be in my Flickr account is what Aperture thinks should be in Flickr account.
I went into my Flickr account and deleted all of the ones I didn't want. I ended up keeping more than the one I intended to upload, but I sure didn't want all of them. So, right now, the Flickr account is correct, but my Aperture Flickr library is probably all screwed up. How do I clean up my Aperture library to accurately reflect what's in Flickr?
Before I just upgraded to the latest version (after upgrading to Mountain Lion) when I tried to synch to the main Flickr set I've been working in, I got a message saying that Aperture could only add the first 500 photos (I only had about 110 photos in the set), so I'm wondering if I had already somehow accidentally added everything at that point, but it wouldn't do it, then I upgraded and now it's trying to synch everything.
OS: Mountain Lion
Aperture: 3.3.2
Thanks.

My iPhone library says library rebuilding I cant fix this I am trying to recover my photos and video please help.

My grandfather recently passed away. I have photos of our last moments together and i went to upload them to computer and Iphone says library rebuilding. I cant see the photos on the harddrive or anything. I am really nervous I lost these i had a video and everything I am really lost for words.....if anyone can give me any help on how to fix this i read something saying get the Iphone browers but it wont install.

Image Capture will only import photos and videos from the camera roll, not from photo stream. In order to import them with Image Capture, you would first need to save the photo steam photos to his camera roll by opening his my photo stream album, tapping Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll. You can then import them with Image Capture. After doing so, delete them from his camera roll by opening his camera roll, tap Edit, tap the photos you want to delete, then tap Delete.
If you did this carefully, he would never know. The risk is that you accidently left one or more photo stream photos in his camera roll and he noticed it.
Before doing this, check to see if the photo stream photos are already in his camera roll. The may be as all photo stream photos originate from the camera roll. Unless he subsequently deleted them, they would still be there and could be imported with Image Capture without needing to change anything on his phone.

What is missing from Photoshop CS6 ???

     I tried the new PhotoShop CS6 (beta) but aside from some innovations of which my favorite is the interface (The interface is one of the best innovation that Adobe have made finally an interface that does not make you eyes hurt) and content aware move tool (content aware is definitely the best technology in Photoshop, may in the future in Photoshop CS20 will be voice-activated and will do exactly what you say even to draw for you) and maybe the new brushis, nothing that new, especially for those who draw in Photoshop concept artists, Ilustrators and so on ... etc
      In my opinion what is missing from the famous Photoshop CS 6 and should have been is :
     1 : Live symmetry drawing (horizontal and vertical) even the simplest programs like Alchemy / Sketchbook Pro and new Painter 12 has the function they have gone beyond the horizontal and vertical with the function of Kaleidoscope. I really like how the brush works in Alchemy especially in symmetry, in Sketchbook Pro are not so good in symmetry, unless thei are round but if you have a strange shapes thei tend to function as a parallel very strange but it is ther why the famous Photoshop does not have this function ??? I hoped that in PS CS6 (beta) to be, but no, I do hope maybe in the CS7 will be,
     2: I would like to make several sets of brushes, but in different windows on the screen at the same time not only a big one something like Corel Painter 12
     3: If you put a 3d function why do you tried to do something like the Google SketchUP fast, simple to use and easy to learn, or a simplified version of ZBrush sculpture in 3d clay ???
     Ok now let's talk about Bridge CS6: same functions, nothing so new, I hope that in the cs6 to implement something like the function of ACDSee Photo Manager 12 for example:
     Preview Thumbnails in a files, shortcuts that can be modified, such as double click I want to open fullscreen preview not send in photoshop or Camera Raw etc, why not the same as Photoshop, to make what I want to what I want, preview window to have the option of framing the image even if it is small or large (fit image, reduce or enlarge) the same for full screen mode the image will be framed by the edges of the screen (fit image height or widthand reduce or enlarge) from there if you want 100%, 200% etc. and many others
     What is right, there are many other features that I like and love in Bridge much more than ACDSee 12 such as preview multiple images at the same time in preview window and Review Mode (one of my favorite) and many others but ...   ... What was more important to me I said maybe for someone else is something else missing ...

…Why on earth would you want to restrict Photoshop?…
Because I may consider it to be bloated already?
Because I don't need to be driving around in a motor home when my car fills my needs?
Because I don't need a hammer that doubles as a screwdriver or water-heater when I need to drive a nail?
Because a scalpel may be more useful for my purposes than a Swiss-army knife?
Because I would prefer the engineering team to work on refining existing features and improving stability rather than add features that are better served in drawing and painting applications?
Because I'm not particularly impressed by some of the new "features"?
Because I would prefer to see improvements to the History panel as have been suggested and requested over the years?
I could think of many more such reasons why.

Duh! Precisely!
Software bloat adds to the cost of developing and maintaining an application, delays the release of bug fixes and genuine improvements of existing features and eventually demands greater hardware resources.
