Slow loading images disabling adjustments Aperture 2

I am running Aperture 2.1.4 on an intel mac having just moved over from a powerpc. Its a big leap in many ways.
In aperture all the images load so much faster than before except the adjustments are disabled and the heading at the top of the Adjustments sidebar is that the "Image Loading"
The image is actually visible in the main window so its just the image levels box which is blank along with the above message.
Any inputs? Is there anyone out there still using Aperture 2.1.4?
Many thanks

Is aperture 3 a new application rather than an upgrade to 2? I'm wondering how smooth a transition the process will be.
Aperture 3 is an update from Aperture 2 which means it is a separate application then needs to be purchased through the Mac App Store. Upgrades (going from version 2.4 to 2.5 for example) are free but updates (going from version 2 to version 3) need to be paid for.
Again good luck and take your time, document everything you do. Also have backups especially of things like the Aperture librssry, things that cannot be replaced.

Aperture falls over loading images

I've searched extensively and can't find my specific problem discussed.
When recently attempting to select a previously-developed image from my library, the 'loading image' message displayed for 20-30 seconds before Aperture crashed. After repeated experiences of this, I deleted the master from the library, reloaded it from my archive, and reapplied my adjustments. I quitted then restarted Aperture and the had the exact same problem with the image.
Now I find I have another adjusted image giving the same problem, and I'm worried there are more waiting to be discovered. There's no apparent corruption in the original (Canon CR2) image file, but it seems Aperture may be corrupting them in the adjustment process somehow.
Is this a known problem? Is there a fix or workaround? Thanks in advance for any assistance or suggestions.

Have you tried the open the photo in another application? Sometimes the image file is corrupted from the camera. I have a few image files that Aperture, Photoshop...cannot work with from the same card.
The workaround is to open the thumnail of the RAW with Preview and taking a grab from it and work with that. Not a very good solution but it works if the grab is huge like from a 30" monitor. If the photo is a vertical shot rotate it to a horizontal first prior to the grab.

Mail Slow to Load Images

I've gotten MOST issues addressed/fixed since Mavericks came out, but one I've noticed that is a bit annoying. Images in emails are slow to load. Not just with Gmail account, other accounts as well. Any others getting this? I'm on a MacBook Pro Retina Late 2013.

I'll try to submit this as a bug report when I get a chance. The desired behavior would be to show as much of the message as possible without blocking the application...the way a web browser normally does when rendering a web page as elements come in.
One other quirk: in the case of the email tracking example I gave, it does not help to disable "display remote images in HTML messages" under Mail...Preferences...Viewing.
Actually, when disabling this feature, it seems like Mail downloads the images, but simply does not display them. It takes a while to display some emails without displaying the remote images when the feature is disabled, then I hit "load images" and the images instantaneously appear. They must have already been downloaded. If true, then this is undesirable behavior indeed, e.g., when trying to minimize bandwidth during travel or when trying not to be tracked by email senders!

Photoshop CC 2014 - Stack Mode Disabled - Load Image Into Stack Has No "Convert To Smart Object" Option

Hi,
I have just installed Photoshop CC 2014.1 and I have "Stack Mode" command disabled.
Also, I have no option to convert layers into smart object when I run "Load Image Into Stack" command.
Can you please tell me how to enable these features?
Thank you very much.

The 512 MB are a minimum requirement, not some optional thing. Without it, 3D will never work.

I have "Load Images Automatically" disabled. How can I load images for ONLY the page I am currently viewing?

I have intentionally disabled "Load Images Automatically" so that it is easier to view my desktop remotely via VNC or Remote Desktop. Animations and other graphics kill the performance of these remote viewing apps. However, when I reach a desired web page (the one I really intend to read in full), I want to load all the images ***for that page only***.

I don't think Firefox has that features. It views loading images as a permissions issues toggled on a site-by-site basis rather than a performance issue toggled on a page-by-page basis.
Maybe an add-on would give you a better balance of features? These two popped up in a quick search:
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/image-block/ Image Block :: Add-ons for Firefox]
[https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/imglikeopera/ ImgLikeOpera :: Add-ons for Firefox]
If you try either of these, let us know what you think.

Aperture fails to load images from CF card, now not able to open

I have a new Canon 5D Mark III camera and was sold a Lexar SD Professional 32 GB card and a Lexar Professional UDMA 7 Compact Flash 32 GB card. Downloading the images from the camera is a problem. I am using a Mac Book Pro 15" with operating system OSX 10.6.8. Aperture is on a Lacie external hard drive and now fails to open. Yesterday, a message saying 'unreadable files' would show and a few images would be saved to Aperture. Also, later, an 'unrecognizable format' message would appear. Before it stopped working, it would download one or two selected images but not a large number of images.
Any solutions? Any comments would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thanks Ernie! The images would not load from the camera with the USB camera supplied cable. Yes, the MBP has slot for the SD card and it downloads the images.
The Aperture library is on the LaCie external HD. Don't know if the drive is formatted as OS X extended.
After posting the entry, I went to the local Staples store and purchased a Verbatium card reader and lo and behold, the world is fine. The Aperture has returned and I was able to download all the CF card images. The card reader would not read the SD card despite having it listed as one of the cards it's able to read. Don't know what's happening here but at least I can use the MBP slot.
To me, it's strange! It was all looking quite grim! Thank you for your assistance!

Safari is loading webpages extremely slow and not loading images...

Not loading webpages a lot of the time and not loading images on sites such as Facebook, Twitter, etc. I'm new to Mac and I'm running Safari on a Mac Mini. Help? Also deleted ~/Libraries/Safari and it didn't work.

Please answer as many of the following questions as you can.
1. Have you restarted your router and broadband modem since you first noticed the problem? If the answer is no, do that now and see whether there's any change.
2. Are any other web browsers installed, and are they also slow?
3. What about other Internet applications, such as iTunes and the App Store?
4. Are there any other devices on the same network that can browse the Web, and are they also slow?
5. If you can test Safari on another network, is it slow there too?
6. If you connect to your router with Wi-Fi and you can also connect with Ethernet, do that and turn off Wi-Fi. Any difference?

Facebook slow to load images

I am currently running iOS 8.1.3 on VZW iphone 6. When in Facebook app the images are slow to load if they even do. I have rest network settings, forgot the network and reconnected. I have uninstalled the facebook app as well. all other internet usage is fine on the phone. Wifi router is Netgear WNR1000v2 set to WPA2-PSK(AES), auto channel.
Any ideas?

Hi nevr4get911,
Thanks for participating in the Apple Support Communities.
It seems like the Facebook app is not loading images reliably, and you've tried many good steps to troubleshoot the app and your network connection.
Since you have isolated this behavior to the Facebook app, you may want to contact the developer for more help:
If you see this issue again, contact the app developer for help:
Find the app in the App Store.
Tap the app, then tap Reviews.
Tap App Support under App Store Ratings.

Images from Photobucket very slow loading or do not load at all

My website is graphic intensive. All the graphics are stored in Photobucket. If I used IE they instantly load and appear but if I use Mozilla Firefox there is a long delay in their appearance and sometimes they never show up. I contacted PB and they said to clear your cache, refresh, close your browser window, then flush your DNS (your computer system's cache) and reboot your entire system, including the modem and router. I did this but Firefox is still loading images very slowly and sometimes not at all

You can try to check the loading times via Firefox > Web Developer > Web Console (click the Net button)
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
* https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode

Images/Flash slow loading

Recently my Macbook has started being sluggish. It's not loading images well on webpages, anything using Flash is VERY laggy/skippy and Applications are freezing up for short amount of times. (ex. iTunes will freeze when I change songs sometimes) Is there something I can do to fix this? I have cleaned out my computer's files and it's not getting crowded or anything.
Oh, and if you can give a step-by-step on how to fix this, if there is a way. That would help me A LOT. Thanks!

Login to another User account and see how things work there. If everything is running faster, the problem is most likely isolated locally to your main User Library.

Images removed from Aperture 2010

1. On the hard drive upon which my vaults are stored, getting a directory called "Images removed from Aperture [name of vault]." Any ideas please as I've only just noticed these on a pretty organised system.
2. My Aperture has always been slow, crashes several times a day even though it was bought new in Jan 2010 and is just back from the Genius bar and still doing the same. Any ideas?
3. One of my largest libraries will no longer open. It was going through a repair and became stuck for a day so I closed it. Since then Aperture will no longer open via clicking on it in the Finder. It does have a vault (I'm guessing 95% up to date) associated with it, but I'm not sure if I should now go to the next step and open the Vault and restore from there (or however I do it).
4. How best to organise my libraries, eg have one for every month (take huge number of images of my boys and client shoots) or have one per year with projects of months within. I have then albums for the events under those months. I don't (yet) use Folders as haven't found a use for that extra level or organisation, but should I?
5. Is it ok to copy the contents of Show Package contents and use that to make an additional copy. I'd read that I could Show Package contents, then select all with "." a period, then select Kind.. Images and then just copy the contents to another directory. I'm thinking of this route given my unreliability of Aperture, original the trial then used the serial number to upgrade beyond trial.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
Lots of Qs, my first post
thanks

These contains masters that were removed from the library between vault backup operations.

By Aperture you mean your computer system? Without more information it would be difficult to answer this. What did Apple say when you brought it in?
If you got Aperture in Jan 2010 you started with version 2 correct? What version are you running now?

Large libraries can take over a day to do repairs or updates. It's tough to wait but most times that's the best course of action. Have you tried to repair it again? If you can;t open it or repair it and you have a vault for it you might as well restore it. That's what the vault is for. If you decide to restore and have questions post back.

This is a huge topic and best addressed in a separate post. There are plenty of resources covering this topic both in this discussion group, in the Aperture users manual and on the web. Familiarize yourself with them and than post back with specific questions.

What your describing doesn't make sense from a systems standpoint. The most it would do, if it worked, is get out your image files and previews but in no way that Aperture could use unless you imported them. Even if it worked you would lose all your adjustments, keywords etc.
It's never a good idea to go into the Aperture library at the package level. The smallest misstep can have bad outcomes. If you ever need to copy the library you just need to drag the .aplibrary file.
6. Should I reinstall Aperture using the serial number or by disk? Haven't done that before, as it was an internet download.
As long as you have the serial number you can install from either.
Lots of Qs, my first post

It would be best if in future posts you tried to focus on a single issue. Long posts usually don't get the kind of response you would like as they can be hard for the reader to get through. Be specific and you're more likely to get multiple responses. You may want to take a look at [Help & Terms of Use|http://discussions.apple.com/help.jspa] to get some idea as to how these groups work.
Good luck and welcome to the list.

Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture?

Can I search for multiple images simultaneously in Aperture? For example, search for 'Image2.jpg, Image3.jpg, Image5.jpg' by image name, out of different folders?

dusan -- your best procedure is likely to be to type the first file name (without extension) in the search field of the Photos View, and then mark that file either with a Flag or a color label. (You might clear all Flags prior.) If you have a lot of images or a slow computer (or both ) you may have to wait a few seconds. Aperture will show "Loading ... " on the left side of the tool strip while it churns through your images.
Then hit backspace twice, and type "60". Mark the file found.
Repeat with variations.
Then go to Flagged view, or filter the whole Photos view for the color-label you used.

Flash newbie questions about slow loading site

Hi all. I am new to Flash and web-site building in general and I have been learning while doing. Its fun, but frustrating. I really need some help, hope someone out there with Flash experience can give me some advice.
My problem is this: I built a Flash website, but it is painfully slow to load up (3-5 minutes via cable modem) when I visit the site (via Firefox, etc). Once it does load up, everything is fine with navigation. I'm having a hard time figuring out why its taking so long to load up on the web because, basically, I don't know how to trouble shoot. Hope you guys can help!
Details: the site is just a portfolio site with pictures and a few motion-things, no complicated animations. The swf file is about 9MB. I do have a flash preloader, but it doesn't show up until after the 3-5 minute "load-up" time. When I do the testing via Flash, its Ok and doesn't show the lag. But once I upload the website files and try to visit my website, the load time problem occurs.
My thoughts:
- do I have to purge my Flash file/library of unused images before creating my swf file?
- Is there a problem with my html code in my index file?
- because it is a portfolio site, I've got about 90 images on it, each image about 300-400K. Is this too big, or about right?
Please help! Sorry for the long email, just desperate for help. Thanks in advance for any advise!!!! Just in case, here is the html code:

Yeah I'm with Ned on this one. Dynamically loading your images is the way to go. The fact that you are new to Flash, try this tutorial (http://www.entheosweb.com/Flash/loading_external_images.asp). As you move along in learning Flash, look for tutorials on actionscript arrays and loading images dynamically. Arrays allow you to call each images from a folder outside your fla. That way your site moves right along without much loading time.
Hope I was of help,

How to load images from client side when the swf is hosted on a server without uplaoding it to server?

I'm trying to build a online image resize tool.
problem i face are:
1. I build a button that allow user to browse the file. Once
file is selected, it doesnt show full path.
2. lets say if it shows fullpath, but i try to load it into a
movieclip, and it doesnt work because the swf file is located at
the server and not the client's place.
3. as far as i know, flash can only load images which is
located in the same server or internet.
4. if i use php, asp, cgi.. it can only allow me to 1st
upload the image then resize later, but this is not wat i want.
5. I need to 1st resize then upload later, because if i have
100 and more photos taken from digicam, it's going to be very slow
and heavy.
What i have tested:
1. upload "image3.jpg" into the same directory as the
"viewer.swf", and it works.
2. do not upload the swf to the server, but run locally from
the user's computer and open "image3.jpg" and it works.
3. upload the swf to the server and open "image3.jpg" from
the user's computer and IT DOESN"T WORK!
please help me out.
Thanks~!
