Problem upgrading Aperture 2 to 3

I have been using Aperture since version 1. Today I downloaded Aperture 3 from the app store. That changed Aperture to version 3 in my Applications folder. I opened Aperture and it had me chose to update my Aperture Library. It kept my original (version 2) library and made a totally new library which is a little bigger than the old one. During the processing Time Machine activated and I presume tried to copy the new Library but aborted because of lack of disc space. I also got an Aperture error message that it had to correct something and I had it procede. I shut off Time Machine and Aperture 3 eventually opened.
Help, all the images seem to be there but all my projects, folders and most ratings are gone. I now have a massive unorganized Library which is of course a disaster involving years of work.

Thanks Tony.
I ended up restarting my computer, turned off Time Machine and then reopened Aperture. It asked if I wanted to upgrade my library and I clicked yes. It then updated my library for a few hours. All my projects, folders, etc appear to have returned intact.
I think Apple ought to recommend turning off Time Machine and energy saver when upgrading a large library.
One problem that I have now noticed is that a number of images I adjusted in earlier versions are now way off. These are images I did RAW adjustments to in Aperture. At the top of the Adjustments tab it says: "This photo was adjusted using an earlier version of Apple's RAW processing". There is a button there that says "Reprocess". When I click that it doesn't solve the problem.
Versions of the same images I edited in Photoshop and have the little photoshop icon look fine. Aperture 3 appears to have run the contrast slider up all the way so the images now look terrible. So it seems the problem is in Aperture 3's updating of my Aperture RAW adjustments. But it's not all of them. Some images look fine.
I hope I don't have to go back and correct them all. Am I missing something?

Any problems upgrading to Mavericks using Aperture 3.4.5?

Are there any known problems upgrading to Mavericks using Aperture 3.4.5?

Are you asking if there are problems running 3.4.5 in Mavericks or if you have 3.4.5 now and upgrade to Mavericks and Aperture 3.5 are there problems?
The first case can;t happen you have to upgrade Aperture to 3.5, 3.4.5 won;t run in Mavericks.
As for the second case, most users have not had any major problems as long as they follow the upgrade guide; repair you library while you still have access to 3.4.5, make sure you have backups, etc.
However if you current setup using a NAS in the Aperture workflow you will need to rethink it. It appears that 3.5 will not even allow referenced masters on the NAS (the library always had to be local).

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.

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/

Problem syncing Aperture to iPad

Has anyone else had a problem syncing Aperture to the iPad after upgrading to Mountain Lion? I have attempted to sync selected albums from Aperture, but no new images were transferred.
Thanks -
Dudley

I agree, it appears to be screwed up. I've only been able to do limited tests, but it appears you CANNOT choose "Selected Albums, ...." WITHOUT specifying something other than 'no Events'. In other words, you can't simply select an album or smart collection, you MUST choose an event. And I've found even if I choose 'all events', I only get a small subset of the photos in the library included as part of the sync. What's an event, anyway? It's not part of Aperture's nomenclature.
This whole process looks pretty stupid to me, and I don't have time to spend with it right now. In the limited syncing I've done, I've always used the other way, i.e., NOT Aperture. Unless I'm totally missing the boat here, looks like I will have to continue doing that.

Upgrading Aperture 3.4.5 from the App store

I try to upgrade Aperture 3.4.5 through software update, but I get an error message that says "We could not complete your update. Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple." I bought the software as a boxed DVD with licence no. Any solution to this problem?

Try this solution posted by Gaile from Maine:
Re: Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple.
For others just waiting helped:
"Failed to verify the preflight file. It is not signed by Apple."

Problem syncing Aperture albums ("shifting")

I have an Aperture project of my boy's photos. Under it there are different albums, containing photos of him taken on different dates, and also a smart album of photos with a certain rating. So the structure is like this:
Baby Photos
- 20070420 First Outing
- 20070421 Birthday party
- Smart Album of favourites
I have set my Apple TV to sync only the smart album.
The problem is, whenever I add a new album to the project (after a photo shoot), Apple TV will be set to sync another album (usually the newly added album) instead of the smart album, just like its "shifted" by the newly added album.
Is this a bug or am I the only one having this problem? I have spent quite some time searching this forum but couldn't find a solution to this.
I have upgraded Aperture to 1.5.3 and the problem is still here.
Many thanks.

I just realized this is happening to me both on my Apple TV and my iPhone. Did you ever find out anything more about this issue? I'm seeing exactly the same behavior.
Out of curiosity, do you make previews for all of your photos? I only make selected previews for some albums. Don't know if that's related or not...

Problem Upgrading to Apex 3.1 on XE

I am running into a problem upgrading Apex to 3.1 on Oracle XE.
Hardware and Software:
Database: Oracle Database 10g Express Edition Release 10.2.0.1.0
PL/SQL Web Toolkit Version: 10.1.2.0.4
Host O/S: MS Windows XP Professional Version 2002 SP2
Host Hardware: AMD Athlon 64 Processor, 2.2 GHz, 1.87 GB RAM
Background:
This is a lab host. I am working through the full installation process so that I can set up XE and Apex on development and production hosts, the end in mind being to develop a simple application using XE/Apex instead of Access 2003, which is used heavily in this shop.
It seems to me that upgrading to Apex 3.1 would be a good thing to do up front instead of developing in the version which ships with XE (2.1, I believe) and performing the upgrade later.
I installed XE going with full defaults. Nothing at all tricky. I was able to connect to http://localhost:8080/apex without any trouble and log in as system.
I then followed these Apex upgrade instructions, very carefully:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/html/3.1_and_xe.html
After I ran into trouble (see below), I reviewed this post and used it to double-check my work:
How to upgrade to Apex 3.1
I have worked through this a number of times, each time ending up with the same error.
The Problem...
After the upgrade, when I navigate to http://localhost:8080/apex, I receive the following error:
wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err
wwv_flow.err wwv_flow.app_not_found_err
OK
I reviewed this posting, which suggests that I upgrade my PL/SQL Web Toolkit:
apex 3.0 error wwv_flow.app_not_found_footer_err after new installation
I am perfectly willing to try this, but I am not sure how to obtain the latest correct version of the web toolkit for this particular version of the database. Any tips on where I might find this?
I also note that the posting says there should be 10 SQL files in the apex/builder directory. I only have 5, but I just downloaded this zip file a few days ago and assume this is the correct number of files. If it isn't, where could I find the correct zip?
Any other suggestions about the root cause of this issue would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Well, like Sherlock Holmes said, "when you have elminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth." Or, something like that.
Thanks Joel, it was the files. I examined the zip file I originally downloaded and, sure enough, there were 10 files. I extracted it again and, for some reason, this time it only pulled one of the SQL files out, not even five as it did the first time. In addition, it also skipped about half the language folders.
To get it work, I used the windows built-in zip to open the file, navigated to the apex/builder folder, selected all of the SQL files and language folders, then copied and pasted them into c:\apex\builder.
I then restored the database, ran the install again, and everything worked just fine: I can access http://localhost:8080/apex/apex_admin and log in.
I'm not sure what the issue is, a problem with the zip file or (ok, more likely) a problem with the built-in windows zip tool. I used 7-zip (www.7-zip.org) to extract the file on my workstation and all 10 files and 9 language folders came out just fine.
The bottom line is, it works now, thanks again for the help.
-Tom
PS - I did not install the web toolkit upgrade.

Problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2

Thank you for any help you can give me.
I have some additional problems upgrading from OS 8.1 to OS 9.2.2.
1. The keyboard is typing symbols, not normal letters. When I go to Key Caps it shows symbols and not normal letters. When I was running OS 8.1 the keyboard typed fine.
2. I also am have trouble with windows closing as I open new windows. Everytime I click to open a new folder the old folder closes.
3. Copying files. When I drag a file it makes a new copy on the desktop.
How did I goof up going from OS 8.1 directly to OS 9.2.2?
All these problems were fine while running under OS 8.1.
I believe this computer came with OS.8.6 installed on it but I got it with OS 8.1.
Any help you can pass on to me would be greatly appreciated.
I am typing this on my Dell PC.
Thanks a million,

iMac G3 333 Mac OS 9.2.x

Easy, I just insert my OS 8.1 System Software into the tray loading CD and choose it as the start up disk in the control panel. I restart the computer and it is running off of OS 8.1 instead on OS 9.2.2. I looked for another keyboard today at a used computer store but they didn't have one for the iMac. I need to find one as all my research indicates that it is somehow connected to the option key. But then again everything works fine under OS 8.1. Quite a puzzle to me. Again thanks for the page tip on Firmware. Jim - PS, I did pick up a zip drive that connects to USB ports.

Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Problem Using Aperture as an External Editor

I'm having a problem using Aperture as an external editor for iPhoto. I've set preferences to "Edit in Aperture" and selected the Aperture application. When I click edit a photo in iPhoto, Aperture fires up as expected, but it does not load my photo. Nothing seems to be exported from iPhoto into Aperture.
I can export the same photo to my desktop and then load it into Aperture fine.
When I set preferences to edit in CS2, this works fine, only Aperture seems to be the problem.
What am I doing wrong?
I'm using the following versions:
- iPhoto 7.0.2
- Aperture 1.5.4

If you have Photoshop CS2 then you'd have a better editor using it within iPhoto as follows:
Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Green Box Problem in Aperture

Hey All,
I've been having a problem in Aperture 2.1.4. Every now and again, I get an ugly green box instead of my image. It can happen when I zoom in, when I crop, when I zoom out, or just about any time I am changing the view of the image. I'm on a 20" iMac (2.16 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo) with 3 GB of RAM and am running Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
I took the machine into an Apple store and they ran extensive tests on the video card and other hardware and everything checked out. Any idea on what's going on? It looks like this:

Do as the above poster said (terence devlin) and submit a bug report to Apple. You can do it from within the program via the Aperture or File menu (forgot which at the moment).
The short answer to your assumption is that yes SL does break the use of Aperture for some. (I am one of them). It is not necessarily the Aperture program update (2.1.4) itself as I have reinstalled Aperture on Leopard with all updates (10.5.8 and 2.1.4) and have had no issues.
As far as I can tell, the problem lies in the card drivers, Snow Leopard Code and Aperture programming code regarding OpenGL and/or CoreGraphics.
To answer your anticipated question about my trouble shooting:
I have done (in no particular order) the font, plist, permissions, new user account, new library, rebuild library, vacuum library, visual inspection of the motherboard (internal) capacitors, voltage/current checks on power supply, new ram, new HD...it became a quest as you can see.... I changed system settings, tried hidden parameter settings, ran developer toolkit utilities to search for error messages and odd behavior. I ran console and watched each line by line message as I performed each Aperture adjustment/task (or at least tried to...)
Finally I reinstalled both Operating Systems (Leopard and Snow Leopard) separately on new drives AND installed Aperture 2.1.4 with a 150GB 30,000 image library on each drive separately. No peripherals, clean systems. No haxies (I do not use them) Nothing but the OS and Aperture and the same library. Aperture performed flawlessly on an external bootable drive in Leopard but not in Snow Leopard..in fact it performed worse and I had the corruption duly noted above and elsewhere.
In my opinion, Apple should be shamed for being so tight lipped about this. It is a serious flaw that should be acknowledged to users. But to admit this without a patch or software solution in the works is an unspoken implication to have customers purchase new computers for a fix.
Anyone notice the released updates for Logic Pro (2 since the release of SL) and Mainstage (also 2 since the release of SL) and Remote Desktop (also 2 since release of SL).....you get the idea? Aperture? Zilch.

Problems using Aperture

Hello,
I have a MacBookPro and use Aperture on it. Have been using this for 6 months quite happily.
Recently I purchased a 27" Thunderbolt display and have noticed a problem with Aperture.
When I'm trying to look at an image (any image, I have 100s) using the viewer, the image is blank. (Using the loupe shows the louped part of the image correctly and the browser function works correctly as well). Looking at the screen on the MacBookPro at the same time is the same.
If I disconnect the Thunderbolt display, the image is displayed as normal.
I can recreate this at will - plug it in, no image in viewer. Unplug it, image in viewer.
This fault does not occur when the laptop is on it's own, when a different external monitor is connected, on any other picture imaging software (that I have!), or on any other video application.
All updates have been applied. Restarts have happened many times!
Basically, it's all perfect, apart from trying to view an image, in Aperture, when the thunderbolt display is connected.
Would appreciate any pointers
Thanks

Did you try the second screen options as shown here?

Ok. Thanks for your help, but removing that package was not the solution because I hadn't installed it. The only reference I had about that package was
5:13# locate linux-uvc-svn ~koven
/var/lib/pacman/local/linux-uvc-svn-238-1
/var/lib/pacman/local/linux-uvc-svn-238-1/depends

/var/lib/pacman/local/linux-uvc-svn-238-1/files
/var/lib/pacman/local/linux-uvc-svn-238-1/install
So I decided to remove this folder and my problem was solved. Anyway I did some searches and nothing was found.

IPad photo syncinc problem from Aperture

Hi,
I have a weird photo sync problem (Itunes 10.0.1, Aperture 3.0.3). Sometimes when I add a project to Aperture and an album under that project, I can't sync that to my ipad as Itunes doesn't see any pictures in the album.
My Aperture library is huge so I'm not syncinc all of it, just selected photos. When I open iTunes, plug iPad in and go to iPad photos page, the project and the album appear in the list but if I check either one of those, the number on the right showing the number of photos in the album/project, is zero and nothing gets synced.
Sometimes I've been able to fix this by restarting aperture and itunes. I've tried reprocessing previews (previews are 2560x2560) but it doesn't seem to help anymore.
I've sort of localised the problem to Aperture. When I quit aperture, an information window "updating information for sharing previews" and a progress bar apperars. If this takes only a couple of seconds, then iTunes doesn't seem to detect any changes I've made. Sometimes it takes from 30 seconds to a minute and usually after that everything works.
I tried to google this and others seem to have had similar problems but I didn't find a solution. Is there one?

It seems that the update scripts got problems because we had used portalAdmin to add new data content types. The update scripts try to add new types too, but use hardcoded primary keys that will already be in use if new data content types are added by the administrator.
