Revert to 10.6.3 to recover 'working' version of aperture?

Has anyone gone backwards to 10.6.3 due to problems with AP3 and 10.6.4?
I'm wondering if this is a viable solution for those of us (me) having problems ever since the upgrade. For me, using brushes in full screen (100% zoom) is impossible now..so i'm wondering if anyone has had any success going back.
Was fine with aperture for the past 3 months or so, but now im back to being sick of apple and their inability to get things right with this program. but in the meantime, i have clients that need their photos, and im losing out on money/time because i'm now having to spend double and triple the time in post processing because editing has slowed down to a crawl.
suggestions/thoughts?

I did it and it worked great. Back up and running in less than an hour.
Just boot of the 10.6 DVD, and hit install (you don't have to do an archive and install like older systems, in fact you don't even have the option). Then upgrade to 10.6.3. It doesn't wipe anything out and I had zero issues.

Computer crashed need to recover work

How do I recover work in final cut pro x after my computer crashed? Is there an auto save file

Hi, I've been abe to reinstate corrupt or "damaged" FCPX projects by simply digging into the structures where you maintain your FCPX project as follows:
/volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/
and listing these directories that are common to ALL FCPX projext in that file system. These are:
Backups
CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Old Versions
Render Files
Shared Items
The CurrentVersion.fcpproject object is the one that is trying to be LOADED by FCPX whe u expose or select in the UI... so
just rename it (CurrentVersion.fcpproject -> CurrentVersion.fcpproject_old) or MOVE it somewhere where out of Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing u might want to get at it later if u have too.)
Simply navigate to /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Backups and DUPLICATE (copy) the first one (e.g. CurrentVersion (655 - 2011-09-25 02-18-36 +0000).fcpproject) in that folder back to the corrupted project folder Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing and rename it to CurrentVersion.fcpproject
Fire up (launch) FCP X 10.0.7 and see if your project comes back to life!
IF not repeat the above steps and this time try each of the .fcpprojects in /volumes/some_file_system_thats_yours/Final Cut Projects/your_buggered_FCPX_project_thats_failing/Old Versions
Usually you can get your work back.
I recall in a previous version of FCPX you could cntl+"gear down" (RMB) on the FCPX Icon in the dock and previous versions of projects would show up for selections. I'll stand corrected. Anyway Its not around in 10.0.7 or .6
There's probably a better way to do tis.. I'm interested ofcourse . This works quite well though....
Yeah timemachine.app is lovely but useless for the large objects in Final cut EVEnts and Final Cut PRojects that are maintains on filesystems that are not in the main sart up file system. I'd suggest that your acquire soem additional storgage ( a self powered external powersupply disk, cloud or LTO tape etc) and simply rsync -rav --progress your Final Cut Projects from your production file systems to make an up to date instance of your work. If you have the original media elsewhere there would be less need to also maintin this.
Try this and post your results back for others to see.

Thanks Andy,
I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...

I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
Everyone else gets it to work.
It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
used to it.
Hope this helps!
Andy Martini
PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It
seems like such a small thing yet you guys have been
stumped for YEARS on this!

Is there a way to uninstall iTunes 10 and go back to a working version?

I installed iTunes 10 when it came up a couple of days ago, and unfortunately it doesn't work. Specifically, I can apparently no longer connect to the iTunes Store, either through the computer or through the iPod. I haven't yet tried to sync my iPod - I'm afraid something will go wrong there as well.
As far as I can see, I don't have any earlier, working version of the iTunes software on my hard drive, so there's nothing to install in place of the defective version. Are there archives of the earlier versions somewhere that can be used to roll back the installation to something that works?

I'd make sure you uninstall all the associated parts and pieces. The easiest way to do this is to go to programs from the control panel, then sort the list by publisher. Scroll down and start uninstalling - starting with iTunes, then QT, then the remainder. From reading other support and forum articles, it is important to start from scratch. I'd also run a registry cleaner to help improve the outcome (but not required). You can find a 9.2.x iTunes by googling for it. I agree with a previous post on this thread about exporting your library/lists. However, another way to do this is found here - http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1451. I found this the easiest as if when you first start iTunes 9.2.x, it complains about the iTunes.itl file being created by a newer version of iTunes.

Older version of Aperture not working on New MacBook Pro

Hi there I have a new Mac Book and my version of Aperture wont run.
I successfully installed it and have run all updates but still no joy.
I get the message 'You can’t use this version of the application aperture with this version of the Mac OS X' 'You have Aperture 1.5.1'
Is it my Mac Operating system?
I have tried downloading the Aperture 2.1.4 but its says I need at version 2.0 to run that update.

There's a 2.0.1 update [here|http://support.apple.com/kb/DL115] but I don't know if that would work for you or not.
The end of your last post was garbled
I have tried to get version 2.0 but its not available and just me to Aperture 3 download
so I'm not sure what you were asking here.

Depending upon what country that you are in (films can't be re-downloaded in all countries) then try deleting the film from your iPad and redownload it via the Purchased tab in the iTunes store app (or the Purchased link under Quick Links on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes).
If you aren't in a country where you can re-download films, or if you have problems with the re-downloaded version, then try the 'report a problem' link from your purchase history : log into your account on your computer's iTunes via the Store > View Account menu option and you should then see a Purchase History section with a 'see all' link to the right of it ; click on that and you should see a list of your purchases ; find that film and use the 'Report a Problem' link and fill in details about the problem (iTunes support should reply within, I think, about 24 hours).
If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work (it's been taking some people to this site on a browser instead of showing a form in iTunes) then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page.

All navigational subheadings near top of screen in previous version of ff disappeared when installed ff4. they included Wikipidia, news(with sub-options LA times, NY times,BBC etc), YouTube, mail & others. how do i recover previous version?

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!

Is there a working version of xcode for snow leopard out there?

I downloaded v 4.2 from developer.apple and when I try to install it on my computer it says "unknown installation error occurred" and "you may want to contact the software manufacturer." It doesn't give me anything else...
Similarily, I used adobe flash pro to build my .ipa file and am curious if I even need xcode - is there a working version of Application Loader for Snow Leopard available for download?
Thanks a bunch.

I need to upload my .ipa file to itunes connect...
I have an older mac with snow leopard 10.6.8 and an old version of Xcode (3.2), but no Application Loader to load my .ipa to itunes connect. The Application Loader you can download in itunes connect requres OS 10.7 or higher, and I I can't upgrade my OS without increasing RAM.

Sick of Acrobat - keeps throwing me out every 30 days - now wont accept password - URGENT support required, chat rooms closed down, where do I get a properly working version of ACROBAT - why haven't you fixed this int he Updates

I am totally sick of Acrobat. AS EVERYONE KNOWS, Acrobat 10 keeps throwing users off after 30 days because it was a shoddy piece of over-engineered software that they couldn't even repair with the monthly updates
Every month I have had to uninstall and reinstall. This time it refuses to accept the code that I have been using for 24 months
where do I get a working copy of acrobat 10 that won't get confused every month and shut down????????????????????????????????/
Adobe, have you fixed this stupid problem and where do I get a properly working version of Acrobat
If you check my account you can see I have installed it 24 times in 24 months - Adobe, are you listening!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Happy with that competence of \software. No wonder the Chine are crawling all over us.

The products were purchased using the email [email protected] They
were purchased for his scholastic use while in high school and he is
unable to use the product at this moment. Vry Frustrating.
Order Date: September 12 2012
Order Number: 0120500407
Customer Number: 0244906849
Purchased for Taylor Cooper-Trent
I have constantly been asked to verify my identity with each new install.
I can quote you the password that I have been using - will I do it in
this email?
Can I stress that I have looked up Adobe help previously and downloaded
a patch which (obviously) didn't work. I am sick of sorting this problem
out - he comes to me everytime to fix it, and I have to uninstall the
reinstall. This time the password didn't work
I can supply the password in this email - let me know.

Canon G9 Scene Capture Type not working in Preview/Aperture

Hi,
I have a Canon G9, and have been using the SCN program on the program dialer on the top of the cam, letting me encode metadata about the content on the fly.
When I upload pictures taken with the SCN program on the G9 using ImageCapture, I get the word "Standard" on all my images when looking at the EXIF:Scene Capture Type field using Preview (Leopard).
The same field reads "0" (Zero) when looking at the same info using the latest version of Aperture.
I would love this to work. Are any of you using this with success?
Best regards,
Kjell Are Refsvik

Kjell,
I'm not EXIF expert, but I know that file and information formats (like EXIF) generally do not use text strings for predefined lists of values, like the ones we are talking about.
The text string takes up more space, and is considerable harder to compare. For instance, it is easy to program your computer to ask if the number "2" is equal to the number "2". Additionally, a computer programmer also knows that, if the "2" is supposed to take up 1 byte, that the next number you need to look at is 1 byte after the "2".
However, if you are using text strings, comparing "landscape" to "Landscape" and getting true takes a lot more time and smarts. And you also cannot easily find the next text string following "landscape" since you don't know how long it is until you read the whole word. If not for the standard, every camera manufacturer would insist that its wording and standard was the right one (Imagine "land scape" versus "landscape"!!) and we would never know what was going on.
That being said, yes, there are ways to use text strings instead of numbers, but that's just not the way the EXIF standard works. In general, we don't worry about it since all programs (except our beloved) decode the EXIF numbers and show us plain words. You can see that in iPhoto, Image Capture, [exiftool|http://www.sno.phy.queensu.ca/~phil/exiftool>, and just about any other program that will look at your pictures.
Granted, some cameras have modes that are not in the EXIF lists. They have to use the number code for "unknown" or "other", and then use a proprietary extension to EXIF (or some other meta data format) to store that information. Then, of course, when you look at the picture outside the camera, you need software to decode THAT proprietary information.
Okay, after all that, I really, really hope that the next version of Aperture decodes those stupid numbers! A first semester computer science student can decode it, I'm not sure why the Aperture software team neglected to decode them.

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts. After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were. Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there. I have more info now though. It's not a problem with merging.
The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
When aperture start, it shows "importing". When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box. In the activity box, has many lines as below. The added projcts are all empty. It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

Before upgrading your Operating system, you have to de-activate and un-install the software.
As you have just un-installed the software, your receiving the above error, please contact Phone Support or Live Chat for reset activation.
However, you can install the Software on the third Computer by de-activating the Software from one of the older one and then install it on the new one so that you can avoid any error message while activating the Software.

Anyone with a working version of RSAT on Full Windows 10?

MS said shortly after Windows 10 RTM. They had a working version for one of the Betas last spring but didn't keep it updated. Windows 8.1 was about a month from RTM to RSAT.

Just went to a full windows 10 install on my remote work laptop, the biggest problem is the lack of Remote Server Admin Tools, I have to remote into my workstation to do any AD work.
Does anyone know if there is a working version out? or if not an ETA on something
Thanks!

Single working version for document

Hi Experts,
When the user selects a released or cancelled document version to view, is it possible to display an warning message if the new version of the document is in process status.
Moreover, In order to minimize the risk of having duplicate or incorrect working versions available for the end user, we need to restrict the user to create the new version for the document with out release the previous versions or cancelled. When the user selects new version creation from the menu, an error message must be displayed if the previous version is not status Released
or Cancelled.
Is this achievable in KM?
