Opening Aperture Manuals

This is the craziest thing I've seen. I've tried to open my Aperture Manuals but I keep getting a message that says it cannot find the Adobe acrobat pdf reader . Why doesn't the manual open in Preview? Could someone please let me know what I am doing wrong.
Many thanks,
Douglas

sounds like acrobat reader is set as default application for pdf. quick solution: drag the manual pdf onto the preview.app. you can also select the pdf (any pdf for that matter), then open the info (apple-j), change "open with" to preview.app and then click on "change all...". this changes the default application for pdf.

  • Cannot Open Aperture!! HELP

    Getting a message that "the database is locked and cannot be used at this time". My library is on a LaCie external drive and I know the files are there!

    Hello, promoguy
    Quote: "When I restarted my computer I had to change the preferences for library location, but now when I open the program it says the database is locked."
    Whenever you change the location of the Aperture Library you will have to restart Aperture. EDIT: If you changed the location manually by drag and dropping then open Aperture's Preferences Command , (Command comma) and reset it by browsing to the new location and then restart Aperture.
    Quote: "And yes it is a large library."
    How big is big? Aperture 1.0.1 will take a performance hit if the Library is more than 10,000 photographs.
    Repair Disk Permissions in Safe Boot mode and try again.
    Quote: "I know the files are on the LaCie drive..."
    I do not know and I am not saying this is the problem but LaCie drives have a very high failure rate. I teach businesses that repair and recop data from macs and hard drives and they see an inordinate amount of LaCie drives that fail — higher than any other external drives.

  • Cannot open aperture library in iPhoto

    I recently opened an old iPhoto library in Aperture. This changed the file extension, and presumably the file structure. Libraries are supposed to be interchangeable between the two apps, but now I get the following message when I try to open the libary in iPhoto: "To open this Aperture library in iPhoto, it first needs to be upgraded with Aperture 3.3 or later. Quit iPhoto and then open your library in Aperture to upgrade it." I'm running Aperture 3.4.5 and iPhoto 9.4.3. I've repaired permissions and rebuilt the database (and whatever the third option was when Aperture is launched with Command-Option). Any suggestions?

    Stephen,
    the problem is probably an inconsistent DateModelVersion.plist file in the Aperture Library.
    If the library cannot be repaired, try to restore this file from your backup, from a time when the library could be opened in iPhoto. If you have Code installed, you can try to edit the file manually.

  • Unable to open Aperture 2 because it is apparently in conflict with an old trial version 3. Any tips how to solve this?

    I am unable to open my Aperture2.
    The following warning message shows on top of the ususl opening window:
    Quote
    The libraryin "users/pedro/pictures/Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary" cannot be loaded because it is from newer version of Aperture.
    Unquote
    It looks like some kind of conflict with an old trial version 3, to which I never upgraded.
    Any tips to help me solving the issue?

    Do you need to run Aperture 2, or do you need to open the "Aperture 3 Trial Library2.aplibrary"?
    If you only want to run Aperture 2, then launch Aperture by double-clicking your regular Aperture 2 library; this should open Aperture on the correct library. In Aperture 3 you also simply could hold down the options-key while double-clicking the Aperture Applications icon in the Dock - probably this works in Aperture 2 as well,
    But if you need to open your Aperture 3 trial library with Aperture 2, because you converted your Aperture 2 library to Aperture 3 format; there is no easy way to do it. The best would be to find a backup of your library from the time before you converted it. If you do not have such a backup, then the easiest way would be to upgrade to Aperture 3 at this point.
    I do not know enough about the Aperture 2 library format to be able to tell you how to manually downgrade an Aperture 3 library to Aperture 2 format.

  • I bought a new imac transfered my data via timemachine and now when i want to open aperture it asks for my serial and when i put it in it says that is your upgrade serial please put in your original serial which i have no idea what that would be box gone

  • Can't open Aperture in Leopard

    Hi,
    I cannot open Aperture now that I have installed Leopard. I have the latest versions on a G5 Dual. The icon bounces then I get a dialogue that says, "Aperture quit unexpectedly do you want to report...". I have tried using a different user...same thing. I have restarted and repaired permissions. I also have Photoshop CS4 which works great and iPhoto is fine. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Rob

    Same here. I cannot launch Aperture. Icon bounces about 6 times in the dock, then nothing. The startup window just stays there until I force quit.
    I, too, have repaired permissions, thrown away aperture plist (preferences) restarted my MacPro. My lastest attempt was a reinstall of Aperture.
    Still nothing.
    I know its not totally a Leopard thing as I have been able to launch it on occasion. I have not been able to pinpoint why it works every once in a while (about once every dozen or so attempts)
    This has me puzzled. Its also very irritating.
    Anyone?

  • HT5132 The pop up appears when I open aperture, I do not have a mobil me account with photos and the sync never seems to start and the dialogue box will not go away. How do I get rid of it?

    When I open aperture a pop up appears that tells me that my mobil me photos will be moved. When I click OK, nothing happens and I have left it for hours. I can not get rid of the pop up and I can not get out of aperture. I have to force the computer to shut down. Any thoughts?

    Quit Aperture - force quit if necessary (or try this:
    If Aperture is unresponsive, how to avoid force quitting?
    Launch Aperture again. When the panel appears, press the "Learn more" button, not o.k.
    Then use the "File > Web Accounts > Manage Web Accounts" menu entry from Aperture's main menu bar and remove "MobileMe" from the list of accounts in the accounts pane by pressing "-".
    If the above does not work, disconnect the internet (Wi-fi, Ethernet, whatever you have), before you launch Aperture again. Now the panel should no longer appear.
    Also sign out of MobileMe in the System Preferences Mobile Me tab, to stop the panel to appear again.
    Good luck

  • I uses Time Machine to transfer files and program from old to new MacBook Pro. Aperture doesn't work. Every time I open Aperture the computer need me to key in Serial number. How do I fix it.

    Hi There,
    I purchased a new MacBook Pro Retina 15". Since I am using MacBook Pro and I uses Time Machine for backup files and program. Store saleman tell me I can retore my existing program and files from old MacBook Pro to new MacBook Pro computer. After files transfer it seem to be OK. But only Aperture has a problem when every time I open Aperture to edit photos, MacBook Pro ask me to key in the Aperture Serial Number that made me so inconvinent. Did any one have meet this problem and can someone teach me how to fix it, Thanks.

    Either the license files were not transferred or it has to be relicensed.
    Remove and then re-install aperture. On an rMBP this should take only a couple of minutes.

  • Weird behavior in opening Aperture images in Photoshop

    I have found a lot of really weird behavior when opening Aperture images in an external editor (in my case, Photoshop, so I'll use PS to refer to it):
    1) If the master image is opened in PS, a new version is created when the file is opened, not saved. So quitting PS without saving leaves you with a new version of the file, regardless of whether you actually saved any changes or not.
    2) If a version (not the master) is opened in PS, a new version is not created, either on open, or on save. So in other words, changes to that version in PS when saved overwrite that version, and the previous condition of that version is lost (with respect to versioning).
    3) If multiple versions of the same image are opened simultaneously in PS, there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the difference between them in PS, except for visually (possibly meta-data, but I haven't checked that, nor would I want to be forced to). The file names of all versions are exactly the same.
    I'm looking for feedback from anyone out there who can explain why this isn't completely quacky version control. I've been using version control almost my entire career (as a software programmer) and here's how I have seen almost invariably version control work:
    1) New versions of files are always created upon commit, i.e. saving of the file, not on opening a file. (Do not confuse this with working copies, think about what is present in the repository).
    2) Opening / editing any file version is never destructive. Any change to that file version that is saved (committed) results in a new version, not an overwrite to the same version.
    Aperture's interface basically has combined what traditional version management has represented separately, that being the client and repository views of a project. They are showing all versions of a file simultaneously. This is fine, but I'm really not liking the fact that some changes create new versions, other changes overwrite versions, and one case, merely opening the file creates a new version, whether there are any changes saved or not. In addition, when working with multiple versions in the editor, the file name and/or interface doesn't give any indication of what version you are working with. Easy to say that's the fault of the external editor, but I disagree -- all external editors are going to work with filenames, so Aperture should produce a unique namespace for any file version so that any external tool will be able to distinguish (visually) one file from another.
    Is this completely wacky version management, or is it just me?

    Hi Bradley,
    Due to the way I personally use Photoshop, I want Aperture to behave as it does.
    That's because, with Photoshop, I use layers extensively. Any edits I do (levels, curves, saturation, sharpening) I do on layers. I can delete the layers at any time (or select to show or hide them). Because of this, I actually WANT Aperture to behave the way it does. Once I've done a bunch of edits in Photoshop, if I select again to edit that file in the external editor, I want to work on that specific file (to add another layer, or change one). I don't want another duplicate. I tinkered with this over the weekend, and it worked very nicely for me.
    Perhaps you work differently from within Photoshop? Do you ever use layers? If I were to have a bunch of Photoshop "versions," each with 5 layers, I'd have like 5 GB of "versions" for my original 8 MB RAW file, due to the size of PSD files. Yuck

  • Can't open Aperture 3 all of the sudden

    I am getting this error message when I try to open Aperture. I am not sure what to do but I can't gain access to my library for some reason.
    There was an error opening the database for the library "/Volumes/My Backup/Aperture Library.aplibrary"
    My Backup is the name of my hard drive. What does the error message mean and how can I correct this?
    Thanks!

    Hi Haley
    Has anything changed  in your set upor have you got a new household appliance that could be interfereing with the mirror signal.
    Also when you rebooted everything did that include the router and did you take all cables from ATV for 30 seconds?

  • Access denied to Aperture backup on external drive.  When I hold the comman key adn open aperture to acces a remote drive I receive the message "There was an error opening the database for teh library "/Volumes/VERBATIM HD/Aperture Library BU.aplibrary".

    When I attempt to open an Aperture backup on a remote drive using the Command key when opening Aperture., I receive the message-
    How do access these files?

    How do I copy the libray onto another drive?  Drag & drop?  Can I put it onto my iMac drive without loosing the Aperture files already there?
    yes, you can drag the library to your internal drive. if it has the same name as your current Aperture library rename it or drag it to a different folder.
    I followed the instrucitons when formatting the drive, although I would not rule out an operator error
    You can see the name of the file system on the drive, when you select the drive in the Finder and press the key combination ⌘I (for File > Get Info). The file system will show in the "General" brick of the Info panel.

  • Can't open Aperture 3.2.4 after upgrade from 10.6.8 to 10.9

    I just upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mavericks and everything looks fine, except for the fact that I can't open Aperture anymore. The dock icon is crossed out and when I click on it, I get the message "You can't open the application "Aperture" because it is not supported on this type of Mac.
    I am running Aperture 3.2.4 which was the latest supported version under Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I was under the impression that I could upgrade to the latest version of Aperture under the new operating system....
    --> What does that mean? My Mac was able to upgrade to the latest operating system but the applications are not??
    Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!

    I tested this:
    Reinstalled Aperture 3.1 from the Trial Installer.
    In some way it seems to be working. But the whole thing is a scary Chimera.
    It can create an Aperture library. I can import and edit images, even in Graphic Converter ias an external editor.
    But the Media Browser does not show the aperture Library that I created.
    The versioning is inconsistent. The library appears as an Aperture 3.4 library in the Finder.  Aperture 3.5 seems to be able to read this library and to upgrade it to 3.5
    The Applications folder is showing the application as version 3.4 and as compatible. Spotlight is showing it as illegal.
    When opening the chimera Aperture, I see plenty of warnings in the Console window:
    An Aperture "Hang" report
    xpcproxy assertion failed
    com.apple.IconServiceAgent: main failed to composite image
    quicklookd: Warning
    and more ... the hang was critical. I had to force quit Aperture more than once.
    So be careful. I would not trust any important Aperture library to this patched application, without testing thoroughly. Be careful with your  precious photos.
