Problem opening Aperture in Mountain Lion

I'm running Aperture 3.3.2 and upgraded to Mountain Lion last night. Since the upgrade Aperture is hanging on the "Opening Aperture Library" window. I've repaired and rebuilt my library with all referenced files on externals attached. No help. I've also deletedt the "ProAppsSystemID" file and reentered my registration numbers and still had no success.
Oddly with the "Opening" window open Aperture's toolbar funcuions normally as if the program were open.
I have figured out a work around. I made a new, empty library. I can open Option-click and open Aperture and select that empty library. From that empty library I can then switch to my normal library and use it as normal. Upon closing Aperture however things go back to being locked up when I try to open it.
Anyone else seen this problem? I'm open for suggestions. Thanks.

I used to launch a sparsebundle file to mount it on the desktop (in the form of a normal h.d. partition) and so reach to open the files directly from applications.
Don't do that;  files in Time Machine backups are protected, and should not (usually cannot) be used directly with applications.   The should be restored somewhere to be used.
Use the Time Machine browser (the "Star Wars" display) instead.
To see the backups for a different Mac, use the Browse Other Backup Disks option, per Time Machine - Frequently Asked Question #17/

  • Can't open iCalendar in Mountain Lion

    When I try to open iCalendar in Mountain Lion "Calendar Cache" couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access "Calendars"
    comes up.  Further directions don't work. 

    I'm not sure what you mean by "iCalendar".
    The current Mountain Lion app supplied by Apple is called "Calendar".  The old app had been called "iCal".
    So iCal is now gone.  If you're talking about that, I don't know what to say.
    If you're talking about Calendar, then I suggest running Disk Utility (in Applications > Utilities) and do a "Repair Permissions" on your hard drive.

  • Safari won't open after installing Mountain Lion

    I installed Mountain Lion (OS X version 10.8.5) on my iMac but Safari didn't update, and wouldn't open.  I separately downloaded Safari 6.2.2.  Safari still wouldn't open.  In trying to fix it, I apparently deleted needed files.  When I click on the Safari icon, the message box titled "Safari cannot be opened because of a problem" opens, and below are the error message details.
    Dyld error message:
      Library not loaded:
    /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/WebKit2.framework/Versions/A/WebKit2
      Referenced from:
    /System/Library/StagedFrameworks/Safari/Safari.framework/Safari
      Reason: image not found
    I am a novice.  Can I just download the missing material somehow?
    I would appreciate some help with this.
    Thank you.

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.10 ("Yosemite"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

    Stein Johnsen

    I'm experiencing exactly the same issue... fresh install of Logic Pro, fresh update of Mountain Lion, everything up-to-date. Logic Pro crashes on start every time. I've trolled a number of forums and seen lots of references to ProKit.framework being the culprit. Some recommend downgrading this, but then there could be trouble with iPhoto and other apps. Some recommend waiting for the next OS update. I can't find a conclusive solution.

  • Can't open apps in mountain lion

    i need to upgrade some software or apps since i downloaded mountain lion, however, i have no problem downloading them, i just cant open them.
    mountain lion refuses to open any app or software i did not download from the app store. here is what the pop up tells me when i try to open  them
    "Machacha cant be opened because its from an unidentified developer.
    your security pref. only allow installation of ONLY apps from the mac app store
    and identified developers."
    this aint gonna work for me, i need to download new software or apps elswhere to make things
    work again for me.
    any advice? i went to security pref. but saw nothing that would uncheck to let me proceed.
    thank you
    tom

    this helped me solve my problem but in a different way. i downloaded mountain this morning and after trying your advice, there is nothing called "gatekeeper" installed on my mac.
    a spotlight search turned up nothing but a description of what a gatekeepers job was.
    doing it your way i found i could control click the app and open it that way, gatekeeper was nowhere to be found in system pref. security tab.
    thanks for your help, but now im confused that im missing something from my download and i wonder
    what else did not download.
    thank you again

  • Problems with mail in mountain lion

    I installed mountain lion and since doing so I cannot get past the migrating data window when I try to open mail.  I have tried deleting the envelope index (although I can't remove it from the trash as it continually says it is in use).  I have also tried moving the smartmailboxes.plist and backup files to my desktop but still no joy.  Can anyone suggest what to do next?
    Dan

    Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
    Back up all data.
    Quit Mail.
    Triple-click the line below to select it:
    ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
    Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
    Services ▹ Reveal
    from the contextual menu. A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
    Relaunch Mail and test. If the problem is resolved, you'll have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
    Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.

  • Mail problems since latest OSX mountain lion update

    Since I updated to the latest version of OSX Mountain Lion my Macbook Pro is very slow starting (up to 2 minutes) and my mail program is always stucking (colour-ball turning) so that I have to shut down and restart.
    Does anybody have a solution for these problems?
    Thanks!

    So it's a new 2012 non-Retina model... there are a couple of things that you might want to try - even with only 4GB of RAM (and I truly feel that 8GB is the 'sweet spot' for any modern MBP) you should be having slow startup or Mail beachballs.
    First, let's boot into Recovery mode by holding down the Command and R keys during startup. At the bottom of the window, you'll want to open Disk Utility. Select your hard drive from the left pane and verify and then repair permissions. Some won't be 'fixed' but that's OK. Then with the hard drive still selected, verify your hard drive. If any errors pop up, go ahead and repair the hard drive.
    If neither of these things fix the problem, you might want to redownload and reinstall 10.8.2, using the 'combo' updater found here. Also make certain that you install (or reinstall) the 10.8.2 supplemental update - here.
    And if that doesn't work, we'll just have to dig a little deeper.

  • Anyone experiencing problems with pdfs with Mountain Lion?

    When I try to open pdfs downloaded from the internet via Safari to the Mountain Lion desktop I get this message:
    "There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired."
    I have encountered this problem with pdfs downloaded from several sources.
    When I open pdfs received in email messages there is no probem.
    Can anyone advise please?

    I had been having a similar problem on Lion with Safari pdf files despite downloading the latest Adobe Reader XI.
    I would constantly get the same messages - There was an error opening this document. The file is damaged and could not be repaired. And I would get a blank page when I tried to print the pdf if I tried printing from the Safari web page using File - Print from the top toolbar on my laptop.
    Then I came across the grey Safari lozenge with action icons.
    This allowed me, without downloading the pdf, to print the pdf file direct from the Safari page by using the Print icon on the grey lozenge that appears centrally three quarters down the screen.
    Then I discovered that if I save the pdf using the Save icon from this same grey lozenge on the Safari page I can open and print this pdf version from my desktop.
    I've tested it with a couple of different pdf files and these methods work using the grey lozenge icons but the same pdfs files don't work using File - Save As on the Tool Bar.

  • Problem since upgrade to Mountain Lion

    I have a 2.4ghz Intel Core 2 Duo iMac with 4GB of RAM. Ever since I upgraded to 10.8.2 (well Mountain Lion in general) I have been having issues. I cannot connect to my work e-mail through mail any more and if I try to fix it, it freezes the computer. Also the computer will freeze up when playing videos through quicktime and through iTunes. In general it seems to freeze up with just about any program I use at all, unless I'm only using Messenger (even the Twitter app will freeze up). Every so often these freezes force me to force reboot the computer. Usually after doing this I will run fsck, and it usually does fix something, but even after that it takes a long time to load the computer up again and log into my account. I am planning on getting a new iMac within a year, but want this one running as good as it used to, but don't want to have to downgrade. Any advice?

    Mine has been doing that as well, ever since the ML upgrade. I have to restart after I open the MBP. This morning, I took the closed MPB from my case where it had sat all night and it was very hot. Of course, on opening it, it had to be rebooted. Not cool.
