My 3.4.5 has ~ 35000 jpg masters. I have set aperture not to create previews on import and have ensured "maintain previews" is not ticked. Every time I start aperture it insists on creating previews for ~ 4300 images. Why?
Having had the previews created I selected all photos and "delete previews". It did this quickly and no more previews being created. Once aperture is closed and then re-opened aperture immediately sets about creating the previews for the same photos. I don't understand why this should be happening.
This is occuring on my Mackbook Air (Aug 2012) which has 256 GB storage. I am fast running out of space as I am using "Managed Masters". I intend to make the masters referenced by relocating them to an external HDD but before doing this would like to clear up this problem first. I keep my Vault on the external HDD and have Time Machine and Time Capsule. When I have relocated the masters to the external HDD I intend that TM backs the external HDD to the TC. I tink that I will use the second partition on the external HDD for Carbon Copy Cloner to back up the Mackbook Air.
Any help or advice warmly welcomed.
Frank
Many thanks for your input.
Following your advice I have selected all the projects individually and checked the status of Mantain Previews. Some were indeed marked up for Mantail Preview so I have unmarked them.
I have also selected Photos and deleted previews and also repeated this for My Projects.
Checking the Get Info for the Preview folder in Aperture Library in Finder this now tells me that I have zero bytes for 564 items.
Close and then reopen Aperture and it regenerates these564 previews in the blink of an eye. I haven't been able to locate these photos yet. I know there are about 120 in facebook and 10 in photostream but dont know where the rest are.
It seems the issue is not with Aperture but with myself and not understanding Aperture sufficiently well
Do you see the problem this way?

How do i make a tab active and make it stay that way always. If i put a website in my home page in order for the tabs to open automatically in that same homepage , this setting is not working, every time I open a tab , the window appears white .
By default Firefox opens a blank page for a new Tab, there is no setting to change that action without installing an add-on.

For the past two weeks, every time I start up my computer I'm asked for an iCloud login. I've never used iCloud and I'm not likely to. How do I get this login to stop automatically showing up? I'm using an iMac G5 with OS 10.9.4.
One more quick thing first. Hold the SHIFT key this time as you startup and see if that gets you any further (this is called 'Safe Mode' by the way). I'm not too confident that this will work in your case but it's worth a try. If it boots up, go into Disk Utility and repair permissions.
If it doesn't, you're going to have to do an Archive & Install which will install a fresh copy of the OS over the top BUT keep all your users, files and apps in place. -
I have to reconnect to my DAQ device every time I start my computer... Why?
Hello, I am Ricky, a process engineer intern at a company. I am still a novice at LabVIEW and NI MAX. We have one cDAQ9181 set up to pneumatics and another set up to an encoder. Now, every time I start my computer the pneumatics box is already connected, as expected. However, the encoder one is not. When I click on it in the sidebar, it is found and connects, but the encoder itself does not connect until I perform a self-test. These devices have stayed plugged in and connected overnight, and yield no other issues -- they should be connected as soon as the computer is on. Does anyone know what is going on and/or how to solve this? I can try to provide a picture if necessary.
Thank you for taking the time out of your day to offer some valued help! -Ricky
Solved!
Go to Solution.USB? You might want to check your USB power settings. By default, Windows likes to enable a power saving feature where it will turn off the USB hub power. This has caused a lot of problems with people using USB DAQ for long tests. But you can disable this feature by going into the Windows device manager and going into the USB hub settings.
There are only two ways to tell somebody thanks: Kudos and Marked Solutions

Why do i have to log on to my network every time i start to use my macbook pro.
I just started using a time capsule and every thing is working fine on my pc that is hooked to the network but every time I open my macbook pro I have to choose my network to join it. Any suggestions?
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Thanks for any info.I just started using a time capsule and every thing is working fine on my pc that is hooked to the network but every time I open my macbook pro I have to choose my network to join it. Any suggestions?
Try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > AirPort > Advanced > AirPort tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.)
Also can the time capsule be used as a storage device for my pc and if so how do I set it up?
Yes, the Time Capsule's (TC) internal HDD can be shared out to PCs. This is because in addition to the HFS+ protocol, the TC's File Sharing server uses SMB to allow PCs or Linux clients to access it. In addition to enabling the "Enable file sharing" option, you may need to enter a workgroup name in the Workgroup field. Both of these can be found on the File Sharing tab under Disks within the AirPort Utility. -
why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?
Hi Cyprus11,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
Best,
Jeremy -
Every time I start Firefox, why do I get a Google sign-in tab?
I’m using Firefox for Mac vets. 34.0.5, and I get that extra tab that opens every time I start Firefox in addition to the Home page I specified in Preferences. How do I stop that from happening?
Type '''about:config'''<Enter> in the address bar.
If a warning screen comes up, press the '''Be Careful''' button.
This is where Firefox finds information it needs to run.
At the top of the screen is a search bar. Type '''browser.newtab.url'''
This tells Firefox what to show when a new tab is opened.
If you want, right click and select '''Modify'''. You can change the setting to;
'''about:home''' (Firefox default home page),
'''about:newtab''' (shows the sites most visited),
'''about:blank''' (a blank page),
or you can enter any '''web page''' or '''about: page''' you want.
The same instructions are used for the new window setting, listed as
'''browser.startup.homepage'''. -
Has anyone received this error, "Failed to create directory for PX images"
I recently migrated to Windows7. 98% of the migration went well. All of my pictures and Elements Catalog came over fine. I had to "reconnect" all of the pictures in the catalog due to new directory name, but it worked fairly well. Of the 11,000 entries synch'd with photoshop.com, 10,500 re-synch'd fine. However almost 500 are stuck with an error of "Failed to create directory for PX images". Can anyone help with how to resolve this issue? Note, I did try to remove the picture from the album and then re-add, but that didn't work.
Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.
Thanks,

HT201250 Why do i have to use the password for time capsule every time i start my computer
Why do I have to use thr password for time capsuel every time I start my imac?
With hindsight, the previous response I got from Apple was just a way of shelving the problem.
Having just had to reset my password after another 3 months, I contacted Apple again, and it happened that the senior advisor whom the phone agent consulted had had exactly the same problem as me, and had found that iTunes could fix it. However when I spoke to iTunes they told me I needed to speak to Apple ID account security. The Apple ID account security representative spoke to a senior adviser, then told me that it would be fixed after I reset my password. However I am not convinced that anything was actually done, so I may be back here in another 3 months ...
To modify Roger's advice, the solution I was given is: go to https://expresslane.apple.com ; select 'All Products and Services' in the first column, 'iTunes' in the second column, 'iTunes Store' in the third column, then "Account Management" and "Apple ID account security", then "Talk to Apple support now". A complication is that the "Talk to Apple support now" option only appears when UK English is selected. So you either need to select UK at the top, or find another way of making phone contact (the email link just went back to the person in iTunes)! -

Why is that every time I start my computer it asks for my Yahoo email password? How can I fix this?
The computer keeps asking for my password for Yahoo. I already gave it but it asks over and over. This happens every time I start using the computer.
Back up all data.
Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
Select the login keychain from the list on the left side of the Keychain Access window. If your default keychain has a different name, select that.
If the lock icon in the top left corner of the window shows that the keychain is locked, click to unlock it. You'll be prompted for the keychain password, which is the same as your login password, unless you've changed it.
Right-click or control-click the login entry in the list. From the menu that pops up, select Change Settings for Keychain "login". In the sheet that opens, uncheck both boxes, if not already unchecked.
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences ▹ First Aid
If the box marked Keep login keychain unlocked is not checked, check it.
Select
Keychain Access ▹ Keychain First Aid
from the menu bar and repair the keychain. Quit Keychain Access. -
Why does firefox keep asking for permission every time it starts, it never has before?
I'm using Windows 7 and recently used CCleaner to clean my registry and now Firefox asks for permission to make changes to my computer every time it starts. I have checked for viruses and malware, tried running Firefox as the administrator, removed all but one of my add-ons but nothing helps. Any suggestions?
Check that you do not run Firefox as Administrator.<br />
Right-click the Firefox desktop shortcut and choose "Properties".<br />
In the Compatibility tab, make sure that Privilege Level: "Run this program as Administrator" is not selected.<br />
You also need to check the Properties of the firefox.exe program in the Firefox program directory.<br />
If you can't make the changes then you need to start Windows Explorer as Administrator.<br /> -
Hi,
I was wondering if someone can help me. I have a MacBook Pro, it has came up saying I need to free up space on the disk as it full every time it starts up, so I log in and no icons or applications show up on the screen just my background wallpaper, the only thing I can do is the force quit keyboard shortcut but there is nothing to quit, I have tried to start up in safe mode but again there is no icons in the desktop,

Why is my library being repaired every time I start Aperature?
Hi,
A while back, I suddenly started to get a wraning everytime I started Aperture 3, telling me that my library needs repairing. This happens now every time I start Aperture, and the rapair process takes ages (10-15 mins). Anyone know WHY? and how to solve this issue?
Kind Regards
ArneAnyone?
Arne,
are you holding down cmd-option while starting the Aperture Application or while double clicking the Library? Try double clicking the Library, while holding down cmd-option.
If possible, turn on the "Activity Window" after you launch Aperture (Window -> Show Activity). With luck you can spot what Aperture is trying so desparately to repair. You may have one single corrupted image in the Library that Aperture is trying to repair. Then the problem could be solved by deleting this corrupted image.
Does Aperture work well, if you create a new, empty library?
File -> Switch to Library -> New
If you even have problems with a new, empty library, try to reinstall Aperture.
But if you can create a new library, and Aperture seems to work well with this Library, and if you have enough free disk space, you could try to clone your library by importing it into a new library, either by exporting several smaller libraries from your current library and then importing successively these smaller libraries into the new, empty library, or importing all at once.
