After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the editing to an external drive. Is thee an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

After editing images in Aperture, I want to overwrite the new editing to a backup external drive. Is there an easy way to "add" the new work without the long process of backing up the whole library.

But the Library is not a program. I use SuperDuper, and it is smart enough to treat Finder Packages (such as the Library) as a whole bunch of files and folders, and overwrites only those that have changed. Can't CCC be set up the same way?

Dealing with ExtendScript hangs and long processing times?

Just curious if an ExtendScript for some reason hangs (or takes really long time to run), you just have to kill it externally right? Or is there some other Adobe scripting feature I'm not aware of that deals with that scenario?
So I'm guessing the best option to deal with hangs or long processing time is to:
have an external monitoring tool/service to check up on the ExtendScript execution and handle appropriately as needed (kill it, log info)
use the COM API (e.g. VBScript, though other COM compatible languages ok) or Applescript API (called directly or called by other programming languages) instead of ExtendScript for their additional programming and/or multi-threading capabilities

Using whose in Snow Leopard is a lot slower for some reason. SInce you are already using a shell script, you might try using find. Various shell scripts to copy, find, move, etc, can also use wildcard characters.

Computer slow and not responding since installation of new iTunes update

Good Morning,
I downloaded the new iTunes update two days ago. As soon as I did it my computer was freezing up and none of my programs would respond. I uninstalled it as my computer was working fine. I did the update again and the same thing happened. So this time I uninstalled iTunes only, not Quick Time and my computer is fine. Is there anyway I can get a link to download the previous version? I can not do a system restore because my compute does not have one for some reason. I have tried that.
Also my computer's CPU usage runs normally at anywhere from 4% to 12%, both times after I did the update, it was running at 100% all the time. I could not shut it off or close any programs.
Does anybody have any ideas?
Thank you for your time.

Many thanks Matt - when I spoke to my son last night he did say the anti-virus programme might be the cause, so he told me how to re-install the old Thunderbird version which worked, and to tick the option which says 'allow me to choose whether to install new versions'. So far so good! Very grateful for your help - thanks.

My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I quit itunes, and it keeps reopening.

My MacBook Pro 10.6.8 prompted me of a new itunes update this morning, so i downloaded it. Since then itunes has been starting up randomly on its own, and starts playing the first song on the list. I pause the song, and it resumes it on its own again. I'm not joking. So, I end up quiting out of itunes; but, it starts right back up again on its own. After quiting out of the app a few times, it eventually stops reopening; however, about an hour later (or less) it opens again. HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP? I'm just about to delete itunes, because I've had enough of this crap. I hope someone can help. I've restarted the laptop, and it seemed like that fixed it, then itunes started up doing the same thing again an hour later. ituneshelper is unchecked; bluetooth is off; i only have speakers and a mouse plugged in (also charger).

Read this Apple Discussion Thread and possible solutions. The audio jack has been the main culprit, also certain sync and automation settings including connected remotes.

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync

Download new itunes update and now it wont let me sync. Keeps saying I need 26gb of free space which it didn't say before I downloaded the update. It doesn't make sense. It keeps saying:
The iPod cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library. (additional 26gb required)
This makes no sense because before the new itunes update there was no problem with me not having enough space. I have 5gb of free space now and I had 5gb of free space before I downloaded the itunes update. Nothing should've changed. And I should not need an extra 26gb of space. How do i fix this problem so I can my ipod normally again.

Connect the iPod to your computer and look at the storage used by the various categories as shown in the colored bargarph in iTunes.
Come back with the results.

I am unable to download the new iTunes update 10.5. Message - There is a problem with the windows installer package. a program required for this install to complete could not be run. contact your support personnel or package vendor??

THIS WORKS! I kept trying to reinstall several times and also had the EXACT same error message. I then I went to my control panel and went to the Unistall Programs -> Selected Apple Software Update -> Right clicked -> Select Repair. I let it do it's thing, then reinstalled iTunes and it worked just fine.
GOOD LUCK!

Anyone having problems downloading new iTunes update?

After trying to download the new iTunes update received an error notice that said iTunes was not installed properly and I needed to re-install.
I cannot even access the iTunes program.

Hopefully you will be able to avoid upgrading, this freeze issue you're having might be a good thing if it means that os6 has failed to be installed. os6 is not looking good. I didn't read the reviews before I accepted the "up" grade. Now it seems it's too late. Hope you can get your answer and can use this stalled "up" grade to revert to os5!

HT1349 new itunes update won't allow me to drag and drop a playlist

Hi
I've downloaded the new iTunes update but I can't seem to do a drag and drop with playlists from my PC/mac onto my external Apple devices (2x iPads, iPod and my iPhone)
Is this lost functionality or a new "feature"
I don't want iCloud and Home Sharing doesn't work for me...
Any ideas....?
I can include songs onto a device but only one at a time wheras I need to drag the whole playlist...

No, I haven't had any solution to this problem. None of the myriad of possible solutions work. Doesn't someone from Apple monitor these boards? I've given up in getting it fixed and am seriously ****** at the lack of response on Apple's part without me paying for an answer. This is a ridiculous way to support software, where I have to troll around a discussion board hoping someone stumbled upon a solution and will actually reply to this thread.
Considering the amount of Apple products that I own, you'd think I could get a freakin' response. Here's are the amount of apple products in my house, all bought within the past 3 years-
Mac Pro Quad Core
15" MacBook Pro
13" Macbook Air
3 Mac Minis
Three iPad's
2 iPhone 4's
2 iPod Touch's
But because it's on my Mac Pro, which is 1 1/2 years old, I can't get an answer to this! ***.

I cannot get my podcasts to download anymore. It says err 3259. Also cannot get the new itunes update to download

I cannot get my podcasts to download anymore. It says err 3259. Also cannot get the new itunes update to download. Can anyone help. This has been going on for days.

Err 3259 means that the download has taken too long to respond. Are you sure your internet connection is okay? Have you tried powering your router off and then on again?

New iTunes update and old podcasts

With the new iTunes update, all of my OLD podcasts are back on the list, apparently in the cloud. I do not want all of these old episodes showing up after I delete them but there is no longer a delete option when I highlight the unwanted episodes and right click. How do I hide old episodes from my podcast list?

I have the same problem. My podcasts show up under podcasts in itunes but not on my ipod and I have to search under music when I want to listen to them. It's a pain. Someone please help.
