My aperture trash doesn't allow me to 'put back' my images

Please help
I am using aperture 3.2.2 on a MacPro3.1 Mac OSX 10.6.8
I suddenly have 5000 of my images in aperture trash. I don't know how they ended up in trash. I fail when trying to put the images back in their projects. When i right-click (or control-click) I have a very short drop down menu to chose from and it doesn't include the 'put back' option?? I have seen people posting before on this problem. I haven't seen a solution yet. Anyone knows how to solve? By the way, I tried exporting to re-import but Aperture doesn't allow this for trash-items...

Try rrepairing the library See Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
Post back if that doesn;t help

Emptying Aperture trash doesn't remove images from library

Not sure what's going on.
Did a little house cleaning over the past few days and deleted about 2K images overall. And I emptied the aperture trash. The number of files in the program goes down. But the size of the library doesn't change. The date of for the library does change and shows the current time.
I archived all my images to an external vault. That vault is significantly smaller than my library.
Then I upgrade to the new version 3.1.2. Deleted preferences.
I created a new library as a test. I imported 188 images. Then deleted a few. Emptied the aperture trash. The number of images went to 152.
The size of my library remained unchanged. No aperture images in main computer trash can. And when I go into the masters folder in the library I see all 188 images there.
System: mac pro 2006. OS 10.6.8

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
I don't remember which version I upgraded from. But the problem was there in the old version as well as the new one.
I did do the repair rebuild just before upgrading with only a 0.1GB difference in file size afterwards.
And, as I said, when creating a brand new library with only 188 images the same problem occurred. So 2 separate libraries on the same drive.
I just created a new library as a test on my main drive (a different drive) with the same issue. Files are deleted in the program but not in the library.
There is no problem with the trash in any other respects. Other files have been deleting just fine.
The aperture deleted images aren't even reaching the trash can.
I might need to reload aperture.

ITunes doesn't allow me to put music in my iPhone 5

Hi. I have realized, that my iTunes doesn't introduce the music I select into my iPhone5. Kind of weird. If I choose just a few songs (5,10) they go in. But if I select a vast amount of them (400+) they just stay with this sign and sometimes with grey color or sometimes and unselectable, or also sometimes just with this sing but selectable. (With selectable I mean I can use it and play it)
I have tried everything. First I thought it was a mess with the enough space, but it isn't. I restart counters but doesn't work. I've updated iTunes, and iPhone (7.1.1) but neither is.
Help me please

Hi. I wonder what do you mean when you say "home button"?
What I understood is that you think i have a Mac computer? I have Windows 7
Or correct me if i'm wrong of course!
And anyway thank you!

Doesn't allow me to put in my password

I'm trying to access a textbook I've uploaded that is password protected, but I'm not allowed to put in my password. How do I access it?

It sounds like that your PDF document is the type of "protected" PDF document that Adobe Reader mobile products (including Adobe Reader for iOS) do not support.
Please try opening it in the desktop version of Adobe Reader on your Windows/Mac computer.

CS4 doesn't allow Export Frame as a Still Image??

In CS3, I could create a still image of a frame (tiff file) by placing the CTI on the frame in the Source Monitor and then choose File>Export>Frame. This would create the file and place it in the Project I could adjust the default of the length of the still image through Preferences>General>Still Image Duration.
The File>Export>Frame option is no longer in CS4.......???
Can anyone tell me the quickest way to create or export a still image from the Source Monitor in CS4??
Thanks a TON!

Migration Assistant doesn't allow me to choose what drive.

Well, I got my new computer. I tried to migrate a drive from my old computer using Migration Assistant. and it doesn't allow me to choose what drive.
In my old computer I have 5 drives. The original HD (was 10GB, was replaced last year by a 40 GB) and on my Hitachi 250 GB drive that I added 2 years ago, there's a partition with 4 drives.
I wanted to migrate one particular drive from there (called Current work).
First I did a mistake. I connected both computer via the firewire in the afternoon when there was enough daylight so I don't have to do it later at night (the computers are under the table.) I thought it's OK since I'm not pushing any button yet ("migrate now", "transfer", and such).
I turned on the new computer and a message appeared: you must restart.
That's strange, I said to myself. it's a brand new computer. Usually It says that when there's a problem, but OK I restart and when it's back on, I see that my external drive (Neptune from OWC which was still hooked up in the old computer) is on the desktop. And it took just a few seconds. I open it and all the files, etc. are there. It did copy the whole external drive !
I'm not an computer expert but I believe the Mac Pro did notice that's there's a firewire hooked up and then, without asking me, migrated the external drive and that's why it asked me to restart. I would have prefer if it tells me "restart so migration can begin".
I don't mind for now that my external drive is on my new computer. I can always erase it if I don't want it. It is still external right ? so it doesn't intrude on the 640 GB of my HD so I just keep it.
But it also copied/migrate Mac HD 40 GB which is full of OS 9 and I almost never use it anymore. I don't want it coz it has applications and they advise not to migrate applications (certainly not applications with issues).
They say migrate folders, settings but re-install applications.
And it migrated also another drive called "Scratch" which has only personal date no system, no software.
Anyway, I erased everything and re-installed using the Install disk that came with the computer.
BTW, what they say in the manual (p. 90: Re-installing the software that came with your Mac Pro) is different than what really happens.
They say insert disk, double- click on Install and then click options in the "Select a destination" pane of the installer. Then click "erase and install" Problem is: there's no "Select a destination" pane. Or any options.
I had to go to Disk utility and erase, then re-install OS X.
Then re-install the applications using "Install applications" (the other disc that came with the computer. )
OK, I did that. Then while everything is empty, new, I used Migration Assistant.
Now here is the reason why I post this.
They say hold T key until you see a firewire icon then select a drive. I can't see when there's an icon coz I have only one monitor, so I just hold and hold the T-key and turn on the old computer. The screen shows "waiting for you other computer to restart" 2 min.... 5 min... 7 min. Nothing happens. I stop holding.
I look at the desktop and I see that the icon of the old 40 GIG Mac HD is there. (and I believe with a firewire logo, but not sure about that.)
I have the impression that if I kept the T-key longer it would have migrate the other drives as well.
They say keep the T-key down until you see the firewire (then let go I suppose. As I said I don't see what's going on on the desktop of my old computer so I kept the T-key for a few minutes. I also tried another time to let go after 1-2 min. No difference.
I shut down the new comp. and the old computer screen appears automatically (both are connected to the monitor; the old with analog port, the new with digital port) and sure enough the firewire icon is moving on the screen.
I go back to the new computer and put the old 40 GIG Mac HD in the trash. Actually, when it touched the trash, I just saw an eject icon and the drive disappear. Did not go in the trash which is empty. So I guess I ejected, not sure what's the difference but I looked for it to see if it's anywhere in the computer. Could not find it. Not in the HD, not in the desktop. Good, I don't want it there. Is it hidden somewhere ?
So I tried again but wondering perhaps the old computer should RESTART not turn on (it was off) so now I wait until it's on, then push restart. I hear the gong when it shuts off but that's it, no other gong when it comes back. I keep the T-key. But nothing happened. Just see the message "waiting for your other computer to restart"
PS: BTW Target mode (which seems to me similar to Migrating with "Migration Assistant") will not work for me because it must be SATA, mine is ATA.
I didn't try but read that it has to be SATA.
Is it the same ? In migrating they say hold down the T-key (T for target)
And how come that my 40GB HD which is ATA did migrate (not that I wanted too but still).
Also, this drive ("Current Work") that I want to migrate to the new computer is in my external drive. Can't I just drag it ? If it has only personal data, files and folders I know I can, but It has system (OS X) and applications. It's the one I use and boot on, in my old G4 but I want to transfer Files and folders and settings, so the new computer will know what are my Safari preferences, Automatic fill-in, and perhaps it will move my iTunes music Library too ?
Basically everything except applications. Although I would like my Nikon scanner to be in the new computer as well as the LaCie DVD recorder but I guess I can do that later, separately ?
What are the settings or info I need ? Because if it's just Safari preferences, automatic fill-in and other such small thing, it might be better to just do it again in the new comp and forget about the hassle of migrating.

Try getting into Windows and then plugging in the Superdrive. The drive will only be attached to one OS or the other, not both.

Aperture trash won't empty

I have never had any luck using aperture. It's slow, clumsy and not fun to use. I have 7410 photos in the trash. However, when I click to see what's in the trash, there are dozens of folders, but the number of photos in the folders doesn't even come close to 7000.
When I go to the trash, I cannot delete photos permanently. The option to do so is greyed out in the file menu, and the delete button does nothing. I want to delete a few thousand of these, but some I'm holding on to. I was divorced, and lots of the photos are from my previous life. I don't want them in my library to view, but I don't want to delete them completely. I imagine that some day my kids might want them even if I don't, and my new wife certainly doesn't.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

And I found a back up of all these old photos, so I tried to delete the Aperture trash. Nothing happens. It warns me that I can't undo the process... but the pictures just stay there... fun!

Can Aperture trash the image files (in the finder) that I don't want?

Hi All,
Long time iView Media Pro user here and fairly new to Aperture.
One of the things that I like about iView (and I can't seem to figure out in Aperture) is that I can trash an original file that I do not want to keep from within the app.
iView actually moves the image file to the trash. This allows you to import all of the images, review them, and trash the ones you don't want to keep.
It appears that Aperture only trashes the Master (and versions) that it creates in the library and does not physically trash the original files.
Is there something I am missing here?

I think the thing that you are missing is that after import, you should delete your master files in Finder and just leave the ones in the Aperture library. Then when you remove them they are really gone. You can always use the "Export Master" command to get thme out again (untouched) or simply go into the Aperture library and do a find for all images to see them and move them elsewhere (if for some reason you cannot run Aperture).
One possible flow to make this esier is to always have Aperture import files from CF/SD cards, then format them after import (well, after import and then backup...)

Autofill file doesn't allow editing or deleting

In Safari on my iMac 5 autofill doesn't allow removal of any user names or passwords. Safari has problems and I think this file is corrupt.
Can the file be deleted so it can be created again through Safari?

Passwords are stored in Keychain Access /Applications/Utilities
And from the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences - Auofill
Click the Edit button to the right of: User names and passwords
Make selections(s) then click Remove.
If you still can't remove user names and passwords from the Autofill pane, try troubleshooting the Safari. plist file. (preferences)
Go to ~/Library/Preferences. Move the com.apple.Safari.plist file to the Desktop.
Quit then relaunch Safari to test. If that helped, move the .plist file to the Trash.
~ (Tilde) character represents your Home folder.
If that didn't help, quit Safari. Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder. Move the cache.db (or ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash. Relaunch Safari.

I have lost the apertures, trash, sent and outbox. Can anyone help me?

I have lost the apertures trash,sent, and outbox on my iPad. Can anyone help me get them back?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Why is Aperture trash taking so long to empty?

I emptied the Aperture trash, and am now trying to empty my desktop trash (Finder > Emty Trash) but it is taking sooooo long. I have almost 5,000 items to delete, and the progress bar is moving very slowly. Is this normal?

I did select 'secure' empty.
Ok that explains it, selecting this adds a lot of time to the emptying,
A normal emptying of the trash is really a bookkeeping operation., The Operating System only marks the disk space where those files are as available to be used again but doesn't actually write over the data so this goes pretty quick.
With a secure erase the area on the disk where the data is stored is written over. This adds a lot of time to the operation.
So sit back you might be waiting for a bit
regards

Automator move items to Aperture Trash

Is there a way to tell Automator (or Applescript) to move all pictures from a project to the Aperture Trash?

I still haven't found an answer, two options, move the pictures to a pre-trash project I manually empty periodically or I move the project to the trash using applescript:
tell application "Aperture"
activate
try
move project "project1" to trash
end try
end tell
the problem is that this gives an error so I use "try" so the error doesn't appear.
seems there's still some work to do on the combo Applescript (or Automator) and Aperture.

My iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos to facebook anymore. (publish button doesn't work) does anyone knows what is wrong?

my iphoto doesn't allow to share the photos '09 (8.1.2) to facebook anymore. publish button doesn' work. (it used to be OK) anyone has any idea?

There are a couple of things that could be causing this. Try:
delete your iPhoto cache
hold down the option key
in the Go menu in the Finder, scroll down to Library
in Library, find Containers/com.apple.iPhoto/Data/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhotoin that folder, find Cache.db and drag it to the trash.
delete the iPhoto preference file
do the same trick with the option key to show ~/Library
in Library/Preferences, find com.apple.iPhoto.plist, and drag it to the trash
if there are multiples of any of these files, drag them to the trash too.
delete the Keychain entries and do Keychain First Aid
in Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access
in the column on the left select login and under category, Passwords
delete all of the entries that include iPhoto or Facebook
in the Keychain Access menu, scroll down to Keychain First Aid, enter your user password, select repair, and click start.
Then restart your computer
new caches and preference files will be generated
you will need to reenter your iPhoto preferences
reenter your facebook user name and password in iPhoto
this should fix it.

[BUG FIXED, see "EDIT 2" at the end of my post]
I'm on Firefox 3.6.21, and I got this problem today after a Greasemonkey update (To version 0.9.10, apparently).
Disabling Greasemonkey solved the problem, and re-enabling it reproduced the problem (middle-clicking links to open in new tab did not work, merely highlighted the link).
I should also note that while Greasemonkey was enabled and the bug was affecting me, Ctrl+Click to open links in new tabs was also broken.
I hope this helps!
EDIT: It appears this is a known incompatibility/conflict bug between current versions of Greasemonkey and Tab Mix Plus. Read more here:
https://github.com/greasemonkey/greasemonkey/issues/1406
EDIT 2: GREASEMONKEY HAS NOW BEEN UPDATED with a workaround to fix the problem. Go to https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/greasemonkey/versions/ to install the update manually. It hasn't been reviewed by Mozilla yet, so it won't be an automatic update for another day or two. All credit to "cannonfodder" below for noticing this; please mark his post as helpful!
