Mdimportserver crashed - can anyone help please?
Hello folks,
I noticed that my mdimportserver crashed recently and I was wondering if there is anything I can do to fix it. Here are two examples showing that it happened under OS 10.4.8 and OS 10.4.11:

Notice the dates and OS versions on each of the crashes, which is very odd.
I also have a report in the console of mdimportserver crashing again, but nothing was written to the log file.
Dec 28 00:26:30 users-computer-2 crashdump[1123]: mdimportserver crashed
Dec 28 00:26:31 users-computer-2 crashdump[1123]: crash report written to: /Users/user/Library/Logs/CrashReporter/mdimportserver.crash.log
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
PS. Can I run mdimportserver manually to see if I get another crash error?

I tried reapplying the Combo update as suggested, but that didn't help.
In my case this started AFTER cloning a new hard disk for use as startup. Seems like something could have corrupted in the process, maybe in that fonts folder, but hard to tell as yet.
So I've turned of indexing for the Fonts folder for my Fonts Utility, FontAgent, and it appears to have stopped crashing, but indexing not yet complete. And FontAgent has been stable for years before this cloning process.
Anyone else have any suggestions? Tried DiskWarrior, Permissions, clearing caches, nothing stops the 10 second crashes once they start, except turning indexing off. (And now turning ONLY that FontAgent fonts folder off).
My crash dialogs say the same EXCBADACCESS stuff with a different address, and then:
Thread 2 Crashed
SPFontImport_Suitcase + 312
etc
Anyone have any other suggestions? My log starts out like this:

My I pad 3 keeps crashing can anyone help please
can anyone please help me. I have an iPad 3 which keeps shutting down and restarting without warning. I have done every update upto current and even done a complete wipe and factory reset but nothing makes any difference. can anyone give me an idea of what my next step should be please ?
If you have restored to factory settings - as news - and not used a backup, I don't think that there is anything else that you can do on your own to fix the iPad. You might have hardware damage and only an Apple Store or authorized service center can determine that. Apple Stores can also perform restore devices in a more sophisticated manner and they might be able to fix the iPad that way, if it is fixable. in any event, I think that you should make an appointment at an Apple Store Genius Bar and ask for their help. There is no charge for an Apple Store appointment.

Hello people
I have been using an app called FOTOR for edtining my pictures, it has recently crashed. I deleted it and re installed it but it ha sthe same crashed staus, can any one help me please? I miss it so much...UnInstall the App first and then Restart the computer then Verify and Repair Permissions.
There are so many third party Apps out there that are just problematic to Mac's. I am sorry for your problems but you can Install a program like GIMP it is Free and Open Source and has always been a very good app for Mac users and it was really developed for users that couldn't afford Adobe's Photoshop.

Hi All,
My hard drive crashed and is no longer usable. I just installed a new drive however, I am not finding any way to export my recorded CD's from the Ipod touch to the new hard drive. Can anyone help please? I thought by enabling syc with Ipod woudl do it but to no avail.
ThanksI used a 3rd party program called copytrans http://www.copytrans.net/ that is not free to move my library from my ipod to my itunes library when I had to start from scratch. After that happened I started backing up my music that purchased from the itunes store to a dvd so I would always have it if things went south. Now I always backup my purchased digital music to an optical disc just in case plus everythng else I have is on retail cd's so I can just rebuild my library from scratch again if I have to. You should also regularly back up your itunes media folder to another disc so your entire library will be backed up just in case you should lose your program drive.

I have a Bose soundtouch system .Until today I could play my iTunes music through it via air player . .I have just uploaded the latest upgrade from iTunes and now I am unable to connect to the Bose system . Can anyone help please? I can connect via my iPad and by using the Bose app so it is not the Bose at fault
@puebloryan, I realize this thread is a bit old, but I have encountered a similr problem and wondered if you had found a solution. I've been using home sharing from itines on my PCs for years, but two days ago, it suddenly stopped. I can share from my Macs, but not from the ONE PC library where I keep all my tunes. I tried all the usual trouble-shooting measures.
After turning home sharing off on the PC's iTunes, turning it back on and turning some other settings off and on, my Macs and Apple TV could briefly "see" the PC library, but as soon as I try to connect -- the wheel spins for a bit and then the connection vanishes. It's as if they try and then give up.
Since this sounds so similar to your problem, I was hoping you finally found a solution. I am also starting a new thread. Thanks! -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

I need to export a photo at around 1meg file size,and dont seem to be able to do it in the presets can anyone help please ,I shoot on a canon 5d
I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want. -

Tap Save.Hello Kitty Galore,
It sounds like your your photos that you take on your phone are not showing in your iPad Photo Stream.
I would check both devices to make sure that they both have Photo Stream turned on in the iCloud settings.
iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4486
How do I turn on My Photo Stream?
After your devices are up-to-date and you have set up your iCloud account, it’s easy to turn on My Photo Stream on any of your devices:
iOS devices: Go to Settings > iCloud > Photos (Photo Stream in iOS 6), then turn on My Photo Stream.
Mac: Go to System Preferences > iCloud, then select the checkbox for Photo Stream. Click the Options button and verify that the My Photo Stream checkbox is selected. Open the application you want to use with Photo Stream (iPhoto or Aperture) and confirm that My Photo Stream is turned on in that application. You can also adjust your my Photo Stream settings in iPhoto or Aperture Preferences.
If it is enabled, then I would check to make sure Automatic Upload is enabled with this article:
iCloud: My Photo Stream troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3989
I imported photos to iPhoto or Aperture from my camera, but I do not see them uploaded to the My Photo Stream album, though the service is enabled.
In iPhoto or Aperture, navigate to Preferences > Photo Stream. Ensure that Automatic Upload is enabled under My Photo Stream and that you have an active Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection.
If Automatic Upload is not enabled, you can either enable it and import again, or manually add the newly imported photos to My Photo Stream in iPhoto or Aperture by dragging them into the My Photo Stream album in your Library.

Thankyou- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
Try the following to rule out a software problem
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar

How can I edit my website from another computer? and how can I create a new website next to the one, I already have? Can anyone help, please?
Move the domain.sites file from one computer to the other.
The file is located under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites. Move this file to the same location on the other computer and double click and iWeb will open it. Remember, it is your User Library that you want and not your System Library, as you will not find iWeb there.
Just create a new site on the same domain file and it will appear below the other site. If you want them side by side then duplicate your domain file and have one site per a domain file and they can then be side by side. -

Being new to iBook publishing I need to know if stats are available to determine how many times my iBook has been downloaded. Can anyone help please? I need to persuade someone that this really is worthwhile. Mr Ignorant.
The only people who can possibly assist you with this is Apple Customer Relations, call your local Apple contact number and ask for Customer Relations then explain your situation clearly and politely (be firm but don't rant).
You might want to investiage what the local laws are regarding defective goods and 'fit for use' definitions on warranties etc. Consumer Protection can be a useful tool to use or bargain with if needed ...
