My aperture library has distorted for one of my projects. What can I do? (Details contained within)
My aperture library (Aperture 3 - with recent updates) has distorted for one of my projects. Originally, they were functional images, however, they are now essentially corrupt (composed of irregular colours/format). I have tried repairing library, generating thumbnails, and generating previews with no success.
Here's the story:
I was importing my images from a Lexar Pro 300x 32GB compactflash disc (from a Nikon D3s Camera). They were generating thumbnails fine and uploading fine. I erased the disc and ejected upon completion of the uploading process. As I started to view the images they all went corrupt in front of my eyes (as I was viewing them). It should be noted that I am uncertain if corrupt is the correct terminology.
Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to upload a screenshot of the image, however, it looks like random colour streaks.
My computer specs are as follows:
24 inch iMac, 3.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, 4GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Ram. Mac OS X 10.6.7.
Any advice/suggestions would be highly appreciated!
If any further information is required I will be more than glad to supply it, as these pictures have an element of sentimental value to them.
It definitely sounds like the RAW files are corrupted. What you were seeing in Aperture at first was the JPG preview the camera imbeds in the RAW file. Aperture uses that at first to get an image up while it process the RAW file.
Because you deleted the images on the card already there is no way to know where the corruption took place. As Ernie wrote it is important to erase and format the card in the camera and definitely you don't want to erase until you're sure the image have been taken off the card and are OK.
All may not be lost however. There was a similar situation a while back see How to find corrupt masters I was able to access the preview and the resultant image was pretty good. If you really want or need to recover this images take a look at that thread and post back.
regards

I started with one itunes account for my iphone and ipad, and now have a second ipad linked to the same itunes. Can I set up a new itunes account for one ipad without losing what has already been downloaded on it? I want to stop my husbands downloads appearing on my ipad, and vice versa.
A much simpler solution would be to go into Settings > Store and turn off Automatic Downloads

I must have gotten a corrupted sector on my disk drive I place my Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 CD in the drive and it asked to install or repair or uninstall. I clicked repair and after a minute it asked for disk 1. I could not find a disk one and my case only has space for one disk. What should I do?
Jim Hamilton.PSE6 is a very old program (more than 6 years old) so what exactly are you trying to do? Have you got PSE6 already on your machine? If so, to uninstall it, all you need to do is to go to the Windows Control Panel and uninstall it under Add/Remove programs icon.
If you are trying to install it again on top of what is already installed then the best way is to uninstall it from the machine before installing again after rebooting. Also, if the disk happens to be damaged then try copying the contents from the disk to a temporary folder on your machine and then try installing from that temporary folder by clicking on the setup.exe file.
Hope this helps. -
Hi my name is Hajk and i got a friend that has a problem with her macbook, she gets a blue screen and cant log on. So i told her if she had an reinstall disk so that i could reinstall for her but she didn't get one with the macbook. what can she do ?
If this is a fairly new Mac running either v10.7 Lion or v10.8 Mountain Lion she can use Lion or Mountain Recovery to repair the startup disk or reinstall OS X.

I have a library set up for my i-pop touch, how can my wife set up her i-phone on the same pc?
I have a library set up for my i-pod touch, how can my wife set up her i-phone on the same PC but with a seperate library location?
You can sync multiple iPods and iOS devices with the same iTunes library on one computer. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes and iTunes creates and updates a separate backup for each device.
Under the same computer login account, you can have separate iTunes libraries which will require manually having to log in and out of each one with iTunes which isn't necessary.
If you want separate iTunes libraries for you and your wife, probably best to create a separate computer login account for your wife where her iTunes library is completely seperate along with the rest of her data on the computer. -
Are there any limitations for importing Apple Aperture Libraries for Lightroom 5.7 ? What can be the hardware limitation for importing large Aperture Libraries like 200 gb ? Or is importing larger Aperture Libraries even possible at the moment to Lightroom 5.7 ?
dj_paige wrote:
As far as hardware restrictions, the only one I can think of is that you certainly need enough free space on your hard disk to accomodate the masters from your Aperture library.
IIn which case, ensure all your masters are "referenced" in Aperture, and that you then go to Options in the Lightroom import box and import photos in their existing locations. -

I recently purchased Aperture from App store and this was running fine until I upgraded to Mountain Lion. Now when I start Aperture it asks me for a Serial Number . Where can I find this as it was a download and I have no packaging?
I also have this problem! Mine is also not from the App Store. I had purchased Aperture 1, then upgrades for both version 2 and version 3. It's annoying as it is, but I also have to enter my previous serial number as well since it was an upgrade.
Following this thread in the hopes that someone will have a solution. -
does not let me add text to my verizon website. This adding text feature works well on internet explorer. I can click on add text, the box opens up but I can not type in the box for some unknown reason. What can be done to correct this problem ...
I didn't search before, but "you are not alone" (the thread [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/747424 In Verizon's Sitebuilder for webpages, I can not edit text boxes when using Firefox. I do not have this problem if I use Internet Explorer. Is there a setting I can change in Firefox to correct this problem?] has 18 votes for "I have this problem, too).
I can only guess about the reason... Firefox works with many websites' "rich text" editors, but ones that haven't been updated for five years may assume that Firefox is the old Netscape browser and use scripting techniques that don't work in Firefox.
If Verizon has a different "basic" or HTML editor that you can tolerate using, you could try that. It might not be subject to the same incompatibilities.
If I someday get a Verizon account, I will surely be looking into this further, but for now, it's hard to suggest anything else. -
I have an iPod touch 4th gen. and the screen went yellow. The battery wasnt low when it happened. It has been like this all day. What can I do to fix this?? PLEASE HELP!
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Im trying to uninstall itunes because the newest version wont download. But when i go to uninstall, it says "The system administrator has set policies to prevent this uninstallation" Whats can i do to uninstall
Windows right?
Likely your not the administor any more, the botnet is.
Check on this site really quick if your part of a botnet
http://botnetchecker.com/
All clear? Hopefully. Backup your files to a external drive, cd or dvd, USB keye etc off your computer.
Run the sfx file on this site and it will burn to a cd.
http://www.avira.com/en/support-download-avira-antivir-rescue-system
Next hit your BIO's key and set the cd to boot first, run the scanner and see what it pops up.
If your all clear then create another Admin, transfer your files over from the first Admin.
See if that works, eventually when your totally over to the new Admin, delete the old one.
If you can't create a new Admin, find out who locked your machine down, like your parents or it's a school computer?
Likely installed spyware or "nanyware" to watch you.
Hope that works. -
I downloaded a software update on my iPhone. Now it's asking me to connect to iTunes, but I don't have my computer with iTunes to connect to and won't be able to for a few days. What can I do to use my phone now?
Hi,
Thank you for your reply, I did go to my general settings, but for some odd reason I don't have a restrictions setting, or a reset setting. I thought I could reset all the setting to see if it could be that, but as I said there aren't any.
My husband also has the iPad 2, and also did the software update and hasn't had any problems at all. I took both iPad's and compared the settings thinking maybe there could be a setting that could have been changed when the update was done. -
HT1363 my ipod was frozen but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about that?
my ipod was frozen, but now it has an x on the screen. What can i do about it?
See here: iPod Displays a Red "X" Icon
Note that the fatal red X is often a clear indication that your iPod's HD is shot and in need of replacement. You'll need to take or send your iPod in for repair either through Apple or a third party service.

My messages app won't open, after I sent a large iMessage. I think it just has too much data on it. What can I do other then reset my iPhone?
Hi everyone, I had this problem but none of the solutions above worked. What happened with me, and with others in other forums, is that a particular thread or message was causing the problem. I'd go to open the message and all I'd get was a white screen with the blue bar at the top. So, I went into contacts, pressed 'send message' to a contact whose message wasn't causing the problem, then I pressed back to messages. You then swipe to the left on the thread that's causing the problem, and delete it. Sadly this means you will lose all that person's messages, but you can try opening it from there and deleting it on the thread. Didn't work for me though. Hope that helps! It was the only thing that worked for me after about three days of total frustration and resetting!

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
