Problem Adding Vaults in Aperture

Hi - I recently upgraded to Snow Leopard (from Tiger) and to Aperture 2.1.4 (from Aperture 1x). Although my existing vault appears to be working I would like to create a new vault on an new external drive. When I click on file/vault/add vault nothing happens. Nor does anything happen when I try to open the vault pane. I just recently enabled Time Machine. Is that conflicting in some way? What am I missing here? Thanks!

You start by saying that your existing vault appears to be working, yet a sentence later say that the vault pane is not working. I interpret this as the vault pane is working but the "Add Vault" option within the pane is not working.
I am experiencing a problem that sounds similar, so maybe I can clarify. When Aperture first opens, the vault pane is collapsed. All that is visible is the word Vault and the three icons: sync, expand/collapse vault pane, and vault preferences (the gear icon). I can click the sync icon and successfully backup to an existing vault. When I click the icon to expand/collapse the vault pane, nothing happens. When I click the gear icon and choose either Add Vault or Restore Library, nothing happens.
Is your library managed or referenced?
Are you using time machine to backup your library and all of its files or have you told time machine to ignore the folder the library resides in?
I've got one library that's managed and one that is not. Problem happens with both. Time Machine is configured to ignore the libraries.
Is it possible that your new external drive is not Mac formatted and Aperture is thinking that there are no suitable drives to use for a vault. Though having said this I am able to create a duplicate vault on the same drive as my first vault.
The drive is formatted for Mac OS Extended (Journaled) with a GUID Partition Table.
The problem happens on 10.6.1 and 10.6.2, but I don't recall if it happened on prior versions.

Aperture Vault - cannot restore Aperture 2 vault with Aperture 3

Hi
I have a vault I created last year on Aperture 2 located on an external hard drive. I tried to restore the vault using Aperture 3 and it prompted me to upgrade the restored library, which I did. Nothing shows up in the library in Aperture. There is 150M of disk space used on the external drive, so I know there is data there. Any ideas?

But Aperture 3.3 requires version 10.7 (ML) or later, thus do I need to upgrade into ML or are there other options?
To be able to upgrade to Aperture 3.3 or later you need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.5 (Lion) or Mac OS X 10.8.x (Mt. Lion). Upgrades from the AppStore will give you Mt. Lion or Aperture 3.4.2 right now.
I do not know how to find free plug-ins for Aperture 3.2.x, perhaps you can achieve the effects that you want with external editors?
If you decide to upgrade the OS and Aperture take some precautions:
Check all other programs and device drivers that you rely on, if they are compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 or later, or if you can get upgrades. No Power PC program will run any longer, they are not supported on Lion or later. Most of my device drivers could no longer be used, and for some programs I had to buy new versions. You can get a complete list of the installed software and the versions from the "About this Mac" panel from the Apple menu or the System Profiler.
Make a backup and if possible a bootable clone of your system as it is now, just in case you want to revert to the older system. Otherwise it will be nearly impossible to downgrade again.
Also, in rare cases the upgrade of the Aperture library to version 3.3. caused problems. While still running Aperture 3.2.4 make sure your Aperture Library is in perfectly working condition by running all three "First Aid" options: Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Good Luck

Cannot place order ERROR: "There was a problem adding your product to cart"

Hey guys,
Well, once again Best Buy's online system is preventing me from making an order. It seems like nearly every time I log in I experience some new problem. This time, I'm unable to add anything to my cart. It doesn't matter what item I try to add to my cart or what browser I use or if I clear cookies...it happens every time, on every browser, with every product in the store. The error shows a red & white triangle with a message "There was a problem adding your product to cart".
Just to clarify ahead of time: 1) I have already tried signing in using 4 different browsers (explorer, firefox, chrome, opera) & they all give the same error; 2) Prior to posting here I researched this problem & found out it is somewhat common & has been occurring since at least 2012 on BestBuy.com; 3) Every time someone posts in here about this problem, customer service offers the same "fix" every time - to sign out, clear their browser cache of cookies, shut down the browser, restart the browser, sign back in, etc.... The only problem is, this "solution" has not worked ONE time our of the many times this problem has cropped up in here over the past 3+ years. Why this "solution" keeps getting told to people even though it never works is beyond me. But, there you have it.
Just to clarify: I have already tried this solution, And just like with everyone else before me, it didn't work for me either. So, what's the next step? There must be something else that can be done other than waiting a couple more days for it to magically fix itself (it seems that is the only thing that ever "works"...is to let several days go by and the problem ends up getting fixed in some back-end server-side patch up).
What I'm hoping for from you is a solution that can fix this immediately. This problem has already prevented me from making a couple purchases for items that were temporarily on sale over the past couple days. So, those are lost sales for Best Buy. What I'm hoping to do now is pre-order the Elder Scrolls Online (PS4) in order to take advantage of the $10 pre-order reward. The game releases on Tuesday the 9th. So, in order to get this done in time I need to place the order sometime today (on the 8th).
With all these repeated technical problems making purchasing a chore & wasting my time every single time I want to buy a product it's almost as if Best Buy is telling customers "We don't care if our online system works reliably...go spend your money at Amazon instead". lol
Thank you in advance for your timely help on this matter.

Hello mjswooosh,
I'm very disheartened to hear that you've had ongoing problems when attempting to order from BestBuy.com. Our goal is ever to provide a fun and efficient shopping environment! Certainly creating aggravation serves neither you nor us and I apologize sincerely for this having been your experience.
We recommend the troubleshooting steps you mentioned (i.e., clearing the browser cache, deleting temporary internet files and cookies) because this is the most common cause of this type of problem. I too have encountered this issue from time to time and these steps have almost always resolved the problem. I say almost always because there's one further step you can try: ensure that you have signed out of BestBuy.com, then perform the browser maintenance steps we've recommended. Afterward, before signing in to BestBuy.com, add your desired items to your cart and sign in as part of the checkout process. When the standard steps have not netted a resolution for me, this has solved the problem each time.
I hope this helps. I'm very grateful that you took the time to write to us with your concerns and for sharing your very valuable feedback about your online experience.
Sincerely,
John|Social Media Specialist | Best Buy® Corporate

Problem adding HP J6400 all-in-one printer

We have an HP Officejet J6400 all-in-one printer here at work, and all of our computers have had no problem adding this printer except one: an older iMac, PowerMac 6.1 (with the white domed base). The driver is installed, and the computer sees the driver, but when I click to add it eventually it gives me this error:
"An error occurred while trying to add the selected printer. client-error-not-authorized"
I was on the phone with HP for an hour and they couldn't figure it out on their end. Has anyone had a similar problem, or have a solution?

Issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010)

Since I got a new PC (Windows 7), I'm having an issue / problem adding audio in Presenter 7 (PowerPoint 2010).
It doesn’t happen every time, but randomly with many presentations...
In PowerPoint, right after I import audio (through Presenter) and click “ok”, I get the following errors:
Then, I can't get into the "import/sync/edit" mode, from the Presenter tab...
Already tried reinstalling Presenter, resaving new presentations, deleting the .ppcx/audio folders, importing the audio locally (vs from my network drive), etc.
Then sometimes, randomly, it will let me get back in and edit the audio, after numerous attempts…?!? I can't figure out what the pattern is, which is causing this new problem (never had this problem before, w/ my old PC - Win XP / PowerPoint 2003 / Presenter 6 & 7)
Anybody have an idea what the issue could be?
Thanks,
Mike P.

Hello,
I tried to reproduce this issue but I am not getting any error message. Please provide us following information; this might help to reproduce this issue:-
1) You are seeing this issue in PPT or PPTX
2) You seeing this issue in newly created presentations or its just old presentation which is not working properly.
3) OS and PowerPoint version
4) If this issue is consistent on any particular presentation then please share it.
5) Can we have exact reproducible steps

All new podcasts blank - There was a problem adding "" to iTunes.

All new podcast episodes have a blank name, but the description is there. Clicking the exclamation point next to it yields - There was a problem adding "" to itunes.
This is not just my old subscriptions but new ones as well. The episode actually downloads completely but does not get added to my library.
Anybody have a suggestion how to resolve this?

After days of no solution, as soon as I post it decides to resolve this by itself.

Problem adding elements to a group after removing everything...

Hi everyone,
I would really appreciate some help on something. I have a Group that has some Buttons in it. This Group is in one of fours States, and there is a componant for each State. After the user goes through the rest of the program and comes back to this State, I want to remove the old buttons, and add new buttons with new values. Bascially, I want to refresh the componant when it is visited a second time. I have a problem adding new Buttons to the group when the user revisits the componant / state.
The group is created:
          <s:VGroup id="buttons" x="0" y="35" height="400" width="280" />
When the init function for that componant is called, buttons are added from an array of buttons:
for(var i:int = 0; i < 10; i++){
          var button:Button = questions[i];
          trace(button);
          button.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, myEventHandler);
          trace(buttons);
          buttons.addElement(button);
When the user moves on to the next State, the buttons are removed:
if(counter == 4){
          buttons.removeAllElements();
          FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication.currentState = 'Summary';
When the user comes back to the initial state, the buttons are not added to the Group like they are the first time. The output of the trace as each button is added is also different the second time:
First time: (successful)
Main.MainBackground2.contentGroup.gameComp.buttons
button8
Second time:
buttons
button8
Can anyone point me in the right direction? And better question, is there a better way I should be doing this?
Is there a better way to refresh everything within a component upon viewing it s second time?
Thanks in advance!

I'm not sure why you are using addElement() to add the buttons. Aren't you supposed to let the state functionality handle when the buttons should be visible? That's the cleanest way to do it in most cases. You may want to post a larger code sample, where you have boiled down the code into a minimal sample that still enhibits the issue.
If this post answers your question or helps, please mark it as such.

Problem adding Video to Captivate Slide

Hi,
I'm having a problem adding an FLV video file to Captivate. Basically, after I've published to a SWF file, the video doesn't appear on the slide at all. It's just blank.
After researching a bit, I found that the FLV file MUST include *metadata*.
However, I added medatada with VLC Media Player, and it still shows the same behavior. Must it include a certain *amount* of metadata? Is there a *type* of metadata without which the video will not show?
Adobe's Help thread talks about something called the "Flash Video Kit" - is that a stand alone product or an extension of another product? Is it free? Are there any other free alternatives?
I'm just very confused.
Thank you!

I ended up answering my own question. But just in case this helps anyone else, I'm going to post my solution.
Essentially, I just re-created the video in MP4 format. Then I used MetaZ (for Mac) to write Meta Data to the video. Lastly, I imported the video as an object and when I published the video, Captivate transmuted it to the necessary FLV format.
Now the video displays properly.

Problem adding interaction in CS 5.5 trial

Hi,
I have installed (twice) the Flash Catalyst 5.5 trial and still can not resolve this problem: after selecting a component (and with at least two states/pages) the
"Add Interaction" button in the INTERACTIONS panel does not populate any options in the CHOOSE STATE drop down menu. I can't point to any states.
Is this a bug (in the TRIAL) or am I missing something that needs to happen first?
Viro
PS: I'd be surprised if this basic work flow has changed (it's so straight forward in CS 5) , and I haven't seen anything in the current documentation, either in the help or on adobe TV tutorials that contradict this procedure.

Thanks to another poster and the answer below I have figured out that the problem was in fact of my own making. Another case of RTFM!
I still don't understand why this implementation was made, although I'm sure it extends the functionality of this application. Anybody?
5. May 27, 2011 12:08 PM
Re: Problems adding Interaction to button
In Flash Catalyst 5.5, you need to change the Choose Target menu to Application, then the next drop down list will populate with the State names, select the state that you want, and click OK. You can control when this happens further by using the When in Any State menu. That menu will allow you automatically restrict which state it works in.
Hope this helps

Problems adding Bridge Data to prepaid (Allset) iPhone5

Anyone having problems trying to add bridge data to a prepaid (Allset) phone. I've tried to add 3GB to my iPhone 5 all day today and I've had no success. I've tried doing through (1) the new My Verizon Mobile App, (2) dialing *611 and following the prompts and (3) on my PC while logged into my "My Verizon" account. All three methods result in a "system error" and I can't add any bridge data. The only thing that worked, was it allowed me to put $25 on account by charging my credit card. So now I've been taken for $25 and can't do anything with the money on now have in my account. A call to customer service was a complete waste of time. The CSR told me to do the *228 Activation code on my 4G LTE iPhone 5. I'm not a CSR and I know you don't use *228 on an a 4G iPhone! After wasting 30 minutes and being told my SIM card "had to age" (very creative), I got tired of the snow job and hung up. Is anyone else having problems adding bridge data? Please advise if you have succeeded in adding bridge data today.

Why have a Prepaid forum that is not monitored by CSR's who can actually do something about the issues posted by Prepaid customers? I'm not looking for a "sorry to hear about your problem" reply, I'm looking for answers/solutions.
What a ridiculous arrangement. This Prepaid sub-forum should be deleted so customers don't waste their time posting problems here.

Problems adding an image title?

Hi,
When I place an image in Muse I'm having problems adding an image title. When I Control click the image in Design view the choices I get at the bottom of the pop up menu are
Edit original
Edit Image Properties
When I looked it up in help it tells me I should also see another item "Add Title" but I don't get that as a choice. When I click on "Edit Image Properties" I get a choice of Tooltips or Alt Text but no place for a title.
Thanks,
Bill

This is the page
http://www.adobekb.com/strategies_for_seo.html#addingmetadata
To be clear when I right click on an image I only get the choice of "Edit Original" & "Edit Image Properties". When I click on "Edit Image Properties" I only get a choice of Tooltips or Alt Text, nothing for title
Thanks,
Bill
Adding titles and alternative text to images
After you place images on a page, you can access the Image Properties dialog box to set both a title and alternative text (also sometimes called alt text) that is assigned to the image.
Here's a brief description of each property:
Title: In many browsers, the title is displayed in addition to the image, typically as a tooltip that appears when a cursor hovers over it.
Alternate text: If the image file cannot be shown, this text is displayed in place of the image. Alternate text is also used to describe images to visually impaired visitors using assistive technologies to access page content.
It is ideal to set titles and alternative text for every site asset, to ensure that visitors have the best experience when navigating your site. Tooltips are helpful for including additional information about graphics and alternative text makes pages more accessible for screen readers that verbally present graphic content.
To add titles and alternative text, follow these steps:
1. Select a placed image.
2. Right-click on the image and select Add Title or Add Alternative Text from the context menu that appears (see Figure 3).

Problem with iPhoto or Aperture when I want to export a large slideshow

Hello,
I have a big problem when I want to export a large slideshow is created with iPhoto or Aperture. After ten minutes, my iMac off and then restart. I tried several times but the problem again.
I said that this slideshow contains photos and videos.
thank you

That can be caused by many things - try to narrow down, what is happening:
Does your slideshow have a problem?
Do the media in your slideshow have a problem?
Does your Aperture library need fixing?
A problem with your user account?
Video codecs?
Aperture?
Your Mac OS X?
Your Hardware?
Check, if you can export slideshows at all from your Aperture library. Create a new, emty slideshow for experimenting and add one video, an audio clip and one or two photos. Try to export. Does that work?
If yes, duplicate your original slideshow and delete half of the photos from it. can you export now? Continue to find the video or image that does not work.
If no slideshow can be exported from your current library try to create a simple test slidesho in a different library. Does it work?
Post back with your results.

Having problems adding packages

I downloaded the Solaris (Sparc) companion CD's Dependency Package. It contains 14 or so files that I think should be patches. I run "pkgadd -d . " from my directory where they are and it says their are no packages to add.
http://www.sun.com/software/solaris/freeware/pkgs_download.html#bundle
Is where I got the package from.
I have re-downloaded it like 5 times. I am running Solaris 9 on a Ultra 5. I have not had any problems adding packages before. The packages that I am trying to add are in thier own slice and I have a lot of room on my disks.

I think I am having an ID10T error.
I didn't realize the paths that I was giving it were incorrect.

Problem adding recordset to a Template page

I've been having problems adding sql recordset to a Template page, when i set the record the editable region of the template is no longer editable and it begins to be editable everything else, one more thing that happens with the record is that is partially inserted into the body of the php page, i have tried to reinstall wampserver, dreamweaver, delete the folder with the user settings and the registry of dreamweaver but nothing seems to work, the only thing that i haven't tried is delete the folder with the main settings, but i don't think that it is the problem
sorry for the bad english.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your library is damaged and my not be able to be totally recovered, i.e. recover albums, slideshows, etc. along with the photos.
If the original files for your photos are inside the library package (even if iPhoto can't display them) the following should create a new library with all of your photos.
Start over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
2. Open the library package like this.
Click to view full size
3. Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
4. Drag the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the iPhoto Library on the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
Click to view full size
This will create a new library with the same Events as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects. Check it out carefully to see if all of your photos are represented in it.
Your current library will still be available for further fix attempts.
