Processing speed after importing

Hi,
I'm using Aperture 3.x on my iMac with i7 and 8GB RAM, Lexar USB card reader.
If I'm importing 30 RAW files to the Aperture Library on the internal HD of the iMac and let these process, it took about 1min 40s.
If I'm importing the same 30 RAW files to the Aperture Library as referenced files to an external iSCSI and let these process, it took about 1min 10s.
Looking at the processor load it between 100-200%, which is not much, since there are four cores in the i7.
Why is Aperture not more processor power to speed up the processing part after the import?
Regards,
JO

This is really a question for the Aperture engineers (at least for an accurate, competent answer).
In the cases that I am aware of (mostly regarding Photoshop), some tasks are not worth the processing 'overhead' to send to more than one or two processor cores.
This may be the case here, or it could be that the engineers are not coding for more cores until later versions (remember; Aperture can run on machines with only two cores - albeit more slowly).
Much of the processing after import of RAW files is rendering the image in RAM, so the processors aren't needed as much there as they are in processing the edits.
Again, this is just a best guess on my part as I am not a software engineer at Apple.

ITunes plays library at half speed after import

After converting a performance recording tape from analog to digital and storing it in AIFF format, I imported the AIFF file to iTunes (sample rate reported as 96kHz, bit rate 2304 kbps, 24-bit stereo). The first time I played it in iTunes it was fine...but everything else in the iTunes library played at half-speed. Now (after a re-start) the imported file plays at double speed, and the library items play at normal speed.
How can I controll this?
I see the bit rate is much higher that library items, but don't know what is "normal range" or how to control. (I'm doing A/D in Tracktion 3, 24-bit, 96k sampling, and have many options for exporting the file as AIFF.) Any help?

Tap the now playing screen to show the additional podcast and audio book controls. Tap the playback speed control until it shows white. Each tap cycles from 2X speed, 1/2X speed to 1X normal speed.

Error after import external webservice(RFC) wsdl url to Process Composer

Hi all,
I try to use RFC webservice in my BPM as below:
1. Expose RFC as webservice using CAF (import external service RFC and then create application service use this external service)
2. Define Destination in NWA.
3. Create a Process Composer project, and import the external webservice(RFC) wsdl file as service interface in the project.
After importing, i get error : the port type specified for the ...binding is undefined. Check port type name and ensure it is defined.
If i import another external service, not RFC (such as business object), there is no error.
My system is NWCE 7.11
Thanks in advance,
Sinh.

In 'mail', after importing mailboxes the process gets stuck on '1619 of 72826' and 'time remaining' climbs infinitely. Please suggest a solution.
I converted my mail boxes from POP to imap for the purpose of syncing all my devices. I backed up my mail boxes and further more perfomed a timemachine backup.
Upon restoring ther mailboxes, either by manually copying them to the mailboxes folder, and restoring a timemachine backup, both pocesses result in the above problem.
Please recomend a solution.

Issue in process chain with DTP after imported to production

Hi,
we have a issue with process chain.
after transportation DTP technical name is differ in prod and dev. process chain is went inactive.
i have read some related threads, i'm not find any suitable solution for this.
we don't have access to change process chain(they are not willing to open prod system)
could you please provide solution on this issue .
Thanks,
EDK....
Edited by: EdK666 on Oct 21, 2011 2:54 PM

Hi,
I have observed the behavior of changing technical name for DTP but still I think your process chain should not become inactive due to this. I think process chain somehow adjust the new technical name but anyways you should be able to change the DTP in process chain directly in production system.
If that is not possible you can just try re-transporting it.

Severe corruption of .MOV files in Lightroom & unusable processing speed

Hi all,
I run on an Intel i7 quad core, 12 GB Ram, 2 GB Graphics Card (nvidia), Raid 0, 2x512 GB Harddisk space (1 TB), Windows Vista 64bit using the latest cut of Lightroom 3.4.1 64bit.
Using a Canon 7D with latest firmware updates, for RAW/JPG/MOV - this is the only source of all files that I currently use in Lightroom.
First Question regarding corruption of .MOV files:
Once I copy my files over from the camera onto my computer, I can play all .MOV files seemlessly with no flaws or hiccups (using multiple movie players), after I import the files in the directory (this includes the .JPG's, .RAW's, and .MOV's) into Lightroom, my .MOV files no longer play on my computer, the files begin to stutter and jolt, and are completely unusable. You can imagine my frustration as I've only recently added a huge chunk of my files to be cataloged by Lightroom, resulting in the last years worth of .MOV files being corrupted and ruined.
I am wondering if anyone has had this issue before and if they've found a way to fix it? I understand I could simply un-tick the import of .MOV files (and do so from now on), but I find it baffling that Lightroom is ruining the .MOV files - as it's not actually meant to touch the original files themselves is it? It's meant to add it's own layer of things to do to that file, stored in its own catalogue never meant to actually change the original files themselves.
Second question regarding unusable processing speed:
When DEVELOPing in Lightroom (I develop on two 24" monitors, both displaying at 1920x1200) it can take anywhere between 10-20 seconds for what I'm actually doing to take effect, ie. spot removal or changing the noise levels of a photo. My catalog currently has 10438 photos in it - is this overwhelming for Lightroom?
I love Lightroom and its functionality - when I first started using it these problems didn't seem to exist, so I'm unaware if it's an update or if it's just the increase in photos it has catalog'd that're bogging it down. I would love to resolve these matters as Lightroom is definitely where I want to be.
regards,
Emilio

Thanks for your response,
After what you said, in having absolutely no issue with .MOV files, I decided to ensure every drive on my computer was up-to-date and all software packages were final cut versions.
When I started playing my .MOV files (using VLC version 1.1.10 as standard), the files played fine after a graphics card update/VLC update/Windows system update/computer reboot (Lightroom NOT loaded) - So you are absolutely right, Lightroom is NOT in any way affecting my original .MOV Files, however:
When I then loaded Lightroom up, and started to then play my .MOV files (whilst Lightroom was running, and still using VLC (standard default player) (no other packages loaded), the files would begin to jolt/jitter/ struggle to play again.
If I monitor Task manager/Resources the only noticable heavy usage on Lightroom is having dedicated itself 1.7 GB of memory (not that much considering 12 GB is available), but also that clicking on any picture (whilst in grid-view, showing .CR2+.JPG as one, second monitor showing preview image) all of my 8 CPU's would spike to 90-100% for a second or so then drop down - fair enough.
I then close Lightroom and my .MOV files still don't play accurately - after a while (approx 30 minutes) my .MOV files will play seemlessly fine again.
So, I stand corrected that Lightroom is, in fact, NOT corrupting my files and regret my title choice, but is Lightroom doing something to my system which is making it hang/struggle whilst Lightroom seems to flush/go through its buffer?
Also what import preview do you set your catalog to? 1:1 then wait for it to complete the full import or standard?
Another major issue I'm having is when exporting multiple files (200+ or so), I notice the exporting process is fast initially then dramatically slows down my whole computer as all my RAM (the full 12 GB's) gets sucked up - after 60 or so photo exports Lightroom would have used the full 12 GB Ram I have available, and stopping the export does NOT free up the Ram - I need to completely close Lightroom (which then frees up the used RAM).
Thanks in advanced

E31 - Front FAN at full speed after bios update !!

Hello,
we have a Thinkstation E31 (2555-22G), and today after the Bios update with the Lenovo system update tool the front Fan (near the SATA connectors) is at full speed constantly. it is just impossible to stay in front of this computer because of the noise, i had to disconnect the fan.
I tried to flash to an older version available on the site but it doesn't change anything.
I tried to reset the BIOS to default, and also removed the battery from the motherboard.
I found in a faq but for another model to remove the power cable and press the start button during 10 seconds.
I didn't find something working, there is no fan control setting in the bios, or it is well hidden...
What can i do ??
Thanks for your help.

The beeps you're hearing are part of the CMOS clear process, so they are normal. Once you hear the beeps, you should be OK to shut it down again.
I'm not necessarily convinced a bad fan is the cause of the issue if you truly only experienced the higher fan speed after a BIOS update. But I also don't want to work on the same issue from two angles/paths at the same time....so I'm going to say let's wait and see what happens with the service route first and go from there.
If you happen to try it again or see the message again...I'm curious what error codes you're seeing after the system starts and you get the two POST beeps. A message about corrupted settings sounds like it could be important A picture might be helpful here if you can capture one.

Changes are not getting reflected in Process Chain after changes.

Hello,
I have modified a Process Chain in Development environment. I have created one new infopackage and included it in the process chain. I have also added two new change run variants in the process chain. I have collected the process chain and infopackage in a transport request and transported it to integration environment.
Transport request has reached successfully in integration but the changes in process chain are not getting reflected. The infopackage has reached to integration after transport.
I need some suggestion on this.
Regards,
Sanjay

Hi Sanjay.......
R u in Display mode..........click on Change mode...........
If you can see the chain in Change mode............then ur process chain is imported in in-active version..........
U can try activating it manually or re-transport the active version..........

Aperture 3.4.5 will not show NEF files after importing in OSx 3.8.5

Hi this is driving me crazy. I have quite a few NEF files from a Nikon E5000 that I would love to be able to process using Aperture but have run into a rather difficut situation. When I import my images into Aperture I can see the preview of the files in the browser but can not get them to display after they have been imported. I have tried importing localy through the internal hard drive on my IMac late 2007 as well as through an external NTFS formated USB backup of my files. It also chokes on direct imprting from the CF card using a card reader. In all cases they will sometimes display for a brief second both in the picture browser after importing or on the film strip view but will then disapear and display "unsupported image format" in its place. I have reinstalled aperture and run both repair persissions through disk utility and the aperture repair utility that ships with aperture. I have no problems with canon raw files or other file formats - jpg, tiff, png, photoshop, bmp. Also NEF files will open in lightroom 5 and photoshop cs6 with out issue as well.
Any help in restoring functionility would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for the time and effort in advance.
Que Too

Nikon E5000
Do you mean a NIkon CP 5000 (Coolpix 5000)? Aperture supports many raw formats, but not all, because the raw support has to be camera specific. Not all NEF files are in the same format - all Nikon cameras will call their raw files NEF.
For some cameras Aperture never included raw support. The currently supported cameras are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/aperture/specs/raw.html
It looks like your camera is not on this list, so if you want to shoot raw with that camera, develope the raw files using a different raw converter (Adobe's dng converter or the suftware that came with your camera) and import tiff or dng files to Aperture.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep.

I have a password problem. After importing data and settings from one MacBook Pro to a new one, I have to put my iCloud password in when re-starting the new computer, but the password from the old computer in when waking the computer from sleep. I want to use my iCloud password on both computers consistently. How can I fix this?

The only other place to change a password for the computer login is in Users & Groups preferences. But I don't really know enough here to fix your problem. You can try fixing the keychain:
iCloud- Frequently asked questions about iCloud Keychain
Tutorial: Resolving Keychain Issues
If you can't access your keychain, or forget your password If you can't get into your keychain file because you've forgotten your password or the keychain file appears to be corrupt, there are a couple of options.
First, if you've forgotten your password, you can use the "Keychain First Aid" utility to make the keychain password the same as the login password. This can be accomplished via the following process:
1. Open Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Preferences"
3. Click the "First Aid" tab
4. Make sure the "Synchronize login keychain password" box is checked
5. Close the Preferences window
6. Go to the "Keychain Access" menu and select "Keychain First Aid"
7. Enter your username and password
8. Click the "Repair" button
The second option is to completely delete your keychain then recreate it. This routine is useful if your keychain appears to be corrupt or otherwise inaccessible. This can be accomplished as follows:
1. Launch Keychain Access (located in Applications/Utilities)
2. Click "Show Keychains" in the lower-left corner of the window.
3. Select the problematic keychain from the left-hand pane.
4. Navigate to the "File" menu and select "Delete Keychain '(name of keychain)'"
5. Check all options for deletion and press "OK"
6. Create a new keychain by going to the "File" menu, then "New" and selecting
"New Keychain"
7. You can now make this keychain your default if you desire by selecting it, then
going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make '(name of keychain)' Default"
Login as root and perform repair In some cases, problems with keychains can only be resolved when logged in as the root user.
First, you want to enable the root user:
1. OS X Mountain Lion: Enable and disable the root user
2. OS X Lion: Enable and disable the root user
3. Mac OS X 10.6: Enabling the root user
4. Enabling and using the "root" user in Mac OS X
After enabling the root user, and logging in under this account, again open Keychain Access. First attempt repairs using Keychain First Aid, and failing that, delete then recreate the keychain as described above while logged in as root.
Persistently asked for stored passwords If you are persistently asked for passwords in various applications that you have specified should be remembered in a keychain, your "login" keychain may not be active for one reason or another.
Navigate to ~/Library/Keychains/ (this is the Library folder inside your user's home folder). Find the file named "login.keychain" and double-click it.
Failing that, select the "login" keychain within the Keychain Access application and make sure it is the default keychain by going to the "File" menu and selecting "Make 'Login' Default"
Turn off Keychain synchronization in applications having problems If specific applications are experiencing issues when accessing password-protected material, the Keychain may be to blame.
The above comes from an article published on MacFixit.com.

All pictures in 1 folder after import - problem?

Hi,
due to a hardware change (I´m now an iMac Owner ;)) I had to import all my photos into iPhoto.
Previously I did a copy of all my photos on an external hard drive, unfortunately without any folder structure. In other words all phtos (approx. 9.000 photos) were inside 1 folder on the external hard drive.
After importing the photos iPhoto automatically put all the files/pictures into the folder ORIGINALS but also without any subfolder. In the meantime I have of course splitted one respective event into 40-50 accordingly inside iPhoto.
Overall a new photo structure was planned anyway!
Question:
Is it a problem of speed or any other issue if iPhoto has to search always through the whole folder when accessing a single photo. I did not get any warning when importing the photos within the iPhoto application. Or is it only a question of folder structure inside iPhoto without any limits related to speed or possible other issues? Or will be originals inside iPhoto never touched?
Does it make sense to split the original files within the folder ORIGINALS into subfolder? AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
I hope someone understand my nonsens ..

AFAIK a manual change of the iPhoto structure is not recommended, right?
Very right. Doing that will corrupt the Library.
Don't change anything in the iPhoto Library Folder via the Finder or any other application. iPhoto depends on the structure as well as the contents of this folder. Moving things, renaming things or otherwise making changes will prevent iPhoto from working and could even cause you to damage or lose your photos.
It makes no difference whatever how iPhoto stores the photos inside the Library Package. You do all your work in the iPhoto Window and there is never a need for you to go into the Library package at all.
So, organise your photos in the iPhoto Window

TD

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my address book after importing the files from my Power mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

Why can't I open and retrieve my files from iPhoto and my Address Book after importing the files from my Power Mac G5 to my new Mac Pro? I get a warning that says the new OS on my Pro doesn't open files from a Power Mac. Any idea how I can fix this?

For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys. Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it. It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process. Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

After importing pictures they became grey with doted white line around

I have imported pictures (RAW CR2 format) from my camera hundreds of times and they all went well. But this time the only the import worked well (I saw the preview when each picture was imported). Then Iphoto asked if i would like to delete the pictures on the camera after import. I deleted them. But then when I should take a look at the pictures they were grey with doted white lines around all of them. When I chose a picture and check the properties I can see that the pictures use normal space. I tried to drag one picture to a directory in the finder but this didn´t work either. The export doesn't work either. When I scroll fast among the pictures I can see them for a short period but when I stop scrolling they will turn grey with doted white line around. Whats wrong? and how to solve?
system: iPhoto11 and Lion.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Appset not appearing after import

Hi Friends,
We are on bpc75nw sp04.
Custom appset(A) is correctly imported into target system. I'm able to see in backend(BW), but in fron-end(BPC admin/BPC excel) not appearing. Could any one suggest, what might be reason? How to know install user id of BPC system?
Basis consultant, tried with different user ids like install user, & other users, but he couldn't see at server level as well client level.
I checked uje_user table, it shows appset(A) avialable to USER1.
I hope with USER1 id only, we are able to see appset (A).
