Updating Media Library in producing wrongly oriented thumbnails

Hi !
Bought yesterday a new Mac mini and transferred today Aperture and it's Library from the Timemachine-Backup to the new Machine.
When starting Aperture it now started to update the Media-Library.
It seems to recreate all the thumbnails and that process is really slow:
- I can see 4 kernels mostly unoccupied.
- The transfer from and to disk is arround 1-3 MB/s to the internal disk.
all not particulary breath-taking values in my opinion.
BUT ...
- for 1300 pictures it took more than an hour (and there is 24000 more that need to be updated)
- and many of the thumbnails are wrong. They orient wrongly for pictures taken in portrait format.
To correct the thumbnails I need to open the picture in Aperture .
- it almost kills any other activity on the Mac mini. Even iTunes Music is getting hick-ups (I never experienced that on my 2006 Mac Mini with SL)
Questions:
- How can I put this process of updating the library into background (let's say run it on two cores over two or three days) but being able to use the Mac for something else in the mean-time.
- How can I force correctly oriented thumbnails ?
Thanks for your advice.

Update again:
In the mean-time I have some news:
A) A really good feature in Aperture is, that when you restart Aperture it resumes all jobs that were running when you close Aperture. That means, that I do not need to put the job into background.
I can just close Aperture, when I need the computer for some other stuff and then I can start Aperture before I go to sleep to run the update.
B) I started Aperture in 32-bit Mode (Control-I on the Aperture Application Icon) - check the "start in 32-bit mode - check-box" since then Aperture uses only a quarter of the memory it was using in 64-bit mode. Now I am happily enjoying a film from iTunes. Browsing the Apple-support pages and run Aperture media-libary-update in the background. Which now runs 3000 pictures per hour.
This brings up the following question: Why is there a 64bit Mode if it is slower and uses more resources ?

Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. What is causing this?

Thumbnails are often the wrong orientation and distorted. When I select in viewer they are normal again.

As if only the corrected layer would have remained on the photos.
So the geometry of the pictures is correct - they are not skewed or something? Only the colors and intensities are wrong?
. Only in printing when it is converted to PDF file some photos are unrecognizable.
Is it the printed pdf or the pdf viewed on the screen? If it is the printed copy you need to fix your print settings.
Does Aperture give a warning, that the high resolution images are not available?
We had some cases of books not being able to be printed, and that was due to a broken reference to the original files. Only the book could not access the originals, all other parts of Aperture could. To check for this, try to add one more adjustment to one of the images in question. Is it possible? Are the edits reflected correctly in the pdf of the book?
We were shooting with 3 cameras, Lumix5 shooting RAW, Cannon 100 shooting JPEG and SONY alfa850 shooting RAW.
Have you tried to reprocess the raw of the edited images? (Photos > Reprocess Raw)
Also try, to remove one of the images from the book and to add it again. That usually helps, if Aperture has lost the connection to the originals used in the book.
If you no have done so already, repair (and if necessary rebuild) the Aperture library.

iTunes update 11.1.4 produces an error message R6034 "An applicaton has made an attempt to load the C runtime library incorrectly" When that error is acknowledged, a second windows error 1114 "error 7" displays "iTunes was not installed correctly". I also tried to downloadiTunes 11.1.4 at th Apple website and that did not work either-It stalled with an erro message that stated the "mobile service" would not open HELP!

Hi Doug! I was having the same problem but after reading a lot of answers I found the solution. First of all you need unistall ALL THE SOFTWARE OF APPLE from your computer, I mean BONJOUR, QUICKTIME, ITUNES, APPLE SOFTWARE UPDATE, APPLE MOBILE DEVICE SUPPORT and the other one that is from compatibility with apps of apple, after that you must verify if this folders are removed if they don't then remove it:
C:\Program Files\Bonjour
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files\iTunes\
C:\Program Files\iPod\
If you have a 64-bit version of Windows, you'll need to confirm that the following folders have been removed:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Bonjour
C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Apple\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iTunes\
C:\Program Files (x86)\iPod\
Then if you have ccleaner you can use it to clean all registers left, then reboot and try to install iTunes 11.1.4 again as administrator... That works for me, I hope that helps you too...

My Mobile restart while update the media library.

I am using 3110 it some time restarts while update the media library. I also want to flash the software, because it restarts while I applying any themes, adding new files in memory card... also I want to disable the PTT but it not working... Please any one help me....

Try a reset first.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, follow the instructions for recovery mode > iOS: Unable to update or restore

Home sharing - cannot connect to media library - iOS 4.3.1 not working

This question might be answered... Posting anyway in case it helps anyone else (did not find answer when I searched). Feel free to ignore or contribute as you wish.
iPhone 3GS currently streaming a movie from MacBook Pro iTunes library so home sharing is working. It connected fine the first try.
iPad has not been able to connect. When it tries, it shows the library in the list. I select the library and the spinner starts. After about a minute (60 seconds) the error says Cannot connect to media library.
I have tried logging both devices off the wifi and logging back on while they are sitting right next to each other.
My wifi is set up with the wireless modem (n) with an Ethernet cable to another router used simply to extend the signal to the other side of the house (same network name -- this will probably cause some questions but I can't be sure it's the problem) ... So far AirPlay has worked fine, Apple tv works fine.
The library is not too large, only 1,000 songs and a couple dozen movies.
Not sure what other variables would be relevant.
iTunes 10.2.1
OSX 10.6.7
MacBook Pro
iPad (not iPad 2) iOS 4.3.1 (8G4)
iPhone 3GS iOS 4.3 (8F190)
Hmm... I wonder if that is the problem. The version on the iPad (not working) is newer than the iPhone (working).
I thought I just updated both to the newest but I guess 4.3.1 is only a few days old.
Might have just answered my own question.

There is definitely something wrong with 4.3.1.
My setup:
iMac OS X 10.6.6
iTunes 10.2.1(1)
iPhone 4 4.3.1 (8G4), Remote app on this phone was working fine with ATV's until I upgraded it to 4.3.1 today. Now it can not find the home share library or the ATV's.
iPad 2 32GB Verizon 4.3.1 (8G4), Just upgraded to 4.3.1, not seeing home share library at all.
ATV2 OS 4.3 (8F202), Software 4.2.1, Was working until the last update, now don't see home share library at all.
ATV2 OS 4.2.1 (8C154), Software 4.1.1, This one I did NOT get the update, works fine with no issues at all.
I have tried to turn Home Share On/Off, turn ATV's/iPhone/iPad On/Off and reset Home Sharing. Nothing works. I think it is pretty telling that the ATV without update works fine were all devices with 4.3.1 stopped working.
Apply please fix!!

Additional livetype effects not showing in media Library

Hi,
I just installed LiveType 2, did the software update and installed the second DVD containing additional effects. It added almost 3 to 4 gigs in the LiveType Data folder in Library>Application Support>LiveType. I restarted my Mac, and loaded LiveType. None of the new effects are appearing in the Media library. Did I do something wrong. Is there an incompatibility?
I also checked the Preferrences in LiveType and added the folder so it would load the up. Still no new effects.
Please help!

I re-installed everything and got it to work again.... weird

Photos synching across to ATV in the wrong orientation

The orientation of all of my photos are corrected and on my Powerbook. However, once synched to ATV and viewed in Slideshow, some of the photos appear in the wrong orientation (i.e. sideways on). There doesn't appear to be any ATV setting to adjust orientation. Is anyonbe else experiencing this and has anyone got any suggestions or better still, a solution?

Hi, I have already reported this problem as a bug using Apple's bug/enhancement request website.
I started experiancing this problem in 2.4 and thru 3.0 and now 3.0.1.
The photos show correctly as thumbnails as well as when displayed as the screen saver when listening to music.
They only display incorrectly when viewed as a slideshow so it is clearly a AppleTV software problem.
I certainly look forward to it being fixed as it makes the Apple not suitable to show pics to friends and families.
Thanks, Paul

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Why is this setup now blocked by Apple? Cannot download purchased music.

Since years, my wife and I are sharing one Apple computer. On this, we both have an individual user account. Each of us has an own iTunes Account and an own individual media library. Each of us is using an own individual iPhone, which we frequently update with our iTunes Accounts. We have had this setup for years. It was convenient, reliable and user friendly, since we both could download what we wanted, create playlists, etc. without impact on the other. Exactly this convenience has made me and my wife real Apple fans, so that we also wanted to convince our daughter to move from Android and PC to our easier Apple setup.
Since a few weeks, this setup does not work anymore. From Apple Support (online chat on Apple.at) I was not told that this is not supported any more. Every computer is only allowed to be connected to one iTunes account. From one perspective (sharing music across other users as an act or media piracy, etc.) I can somehow understand this. However, since we are using different user accounts on this computer, I do not have access to other user´s iTunes media and could not play, download or copy it. So what is the point in this?
This now means, that my wife and I are only allowed to download individually purchased music with our personal iTunes accounts only with an interval of 90 days, so every on of us 2 times a year!
Was I incorrectly informed by the Apple support? If so, how can I solve the problem? Or is this really a new policy by Apple? If so, what is the reason? Am I expected to purchase a Mac for my wife, my daughter, myslef and for the three smaller kids to follow soon?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, if Apple simply allowed people to log into different accounts and download content, everyone would be using everyone could share everyone else's content and bypass the need to purchase anything. To protect against this, they limit you to logging into a new account to once every 90 days.
If two or more of you, have different accounts and use only one computer, you should each have your own user account on the computer, to avoid the need to log in and out of iTunes.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"? (Library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes for Mac. Now getting update wars between Mac and Windows versions of the player.

How to prevent iTunes for Windows from "Updating iTunes Library"?
My library is on a NAS and managed by iTunes on a Mac. I can connect from wife's Windows laptop using iTunes for Windows but every time I do, it Updates iTunes Library. Next time I log in from my Mac it Updates iTunes Library in return. It appears I'm experiencing "Update Wars" between the Mac and Windows versions of iTunes. I would like to allow my wife to stream iTunes songs to her new laptop but I don't want any updates from this source... prefer to manage the library from my Mac and not allow Windows to do any thing other than listen to existing playlists.
Thanks for any help/suggestions.

Connect the PC to the library on the NAS. Wait while "updated".
Under Edit > Preferences > Advanced make sure the media folder is correctly pointed at the media folder on the NAS. If not correct, close iTunes, wait a few moments, then open iTunes again.
Close iTunes on the PC. Do not open iTunes on the Mac.
Copy the library files, iTunes Library.itl, iTunes Library Extras.itdb, iTunes Library Genius.itdb, sentinel and the folder Album Artwork into an empty iTunes folder on the PC, for example C:\iTunes.
Click the icon to start iTunes and immediately press and hold down SHIFT. Keep holding until prompted to choose or create a library. Click choose and browse to the copied .itl file, e.g. C:\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
The library should now work properly on the PC, however check the setting for the media folder. If needs be correct, close iTunes and reopen.
Open iTunes on the Mac. It will update again, but that should be last time.

IOS devices not loading shared media library to the end

I am having this problem for some time by now - but it did not appear shortly after any iOS update! Now what is the trouble?
I am using my iPad 3 and my iPhone 5 (newest iOS on both) alongside an Apple TV 3, a Mac mini Server and a MacBook Pro (newest OS X). The Server hosts my media library, private sharing activated by using my Apple ID. Sometimes (not always) I am sharing my library with the same Apple ID on My MacBook Pro to my home network, too. Both Macs can see and use the other Mac's shared library without any troubles - so this works. The Apple TV 3 also can connect to both libraries (though I am using the Server's much more often than the MacBook Pro's).
Neither on my iPad nor on my iPhone I can get the home shared media library loaded in complete by using the apps
"Music" and "Video".
The small loading circle symbol just stops after about 50 % and then nothing happens furthermore no matter how long I am waiting:
The only thing I can do afterwards is to force quit "Music" and / or "Videos" app, restart those and trying again, still leaving me the already described 50 % and nothing else.
What is strange about that:
"Remote" app to Apple TV and my Macs and "AirPlay" to the Apple TV just work fine. "Remote" app connects to my Apple TV and my Macs without any troubles. But "Videos" and "Music" can not load the shared library to complete. It does not matter to which Mac I am connecting (to be more exact: to which shared library). All iOS devices "see" the shared libraries, seem to connect to them at the beginning but just to refuse to load more than 50 % - and doing anything else afterwards. To make it even more strange both iOS devices were able to load everything to the end some time ago. I am not sure if there was an iOS update available in between anymore, but there definetly was an iTunes update in between!
So what I already tried (not in that order described here):
Stopping and restarting home sharing on my Macs using the initial Apple ID account.
Stopping and restarting home sharing on both Macs using another Apple ID account (and adapting the iOS devices info accordingly).
Using different Apple ID accounts on both Macs at the same time for home sharing.
Logged off and re-logged back into iTunes Store Account on my Macs and iOS devices.
Re-configured my sharing on my iOS devices using those two already mentioned accounts.
Re-initialization of the complete iTunes libray on my Mac mini Server (moving the .xml to the desktop, deleting the .itl from the iTunes folder, re-importing the .xml).
I think I have done some other steps in between, too but none of them fixes that problem. Please note: I am not using an Apple AirPort Extreme but my service provider's Modem / Router combination. I do not think the problem is located in that Modem / Router / Network connection as it once worked without any troubles. Maybe I will try to connect my AirPort Extreme to that Modem somewhat later to see if this fixes the problem.
Any help is highly appreciated!

Looks like I found a solution on my own...
After renaming my iTunes Mediatheque in the iTunes preferences window on my iTunes server hosted by a Mac mini all mi iOS devices were able to load my mediatheque in complete again. It took some time to get all the covers but no title is left over.
I found this solution by "accident" when I noticed too many devices used more or less the same name on my network.
Strange.

Content Viewer won't update the library

Hey guys!
Big trouble here.
After I last updated an uploaded folio, the Content Viewer on the iPad out of the sudden was not recognizing any update on that folio anymore.
So I deleted the folio from the iPad and updated the library. What happened? The folio wasn't even there to download anymore. And yes, it appears on the Folio Producer and it is active.
It's quite a big folio (+100 mb) and I have even uploaded it again with another name and still the Viewer won't show it on the library.
I have tried to upload smaller folios and it worked just fine.
Have no idea what's the problem neither the solution.
Anyone with the same problem?

Problem resolved, with a bit of help from Adobe Support. It was Websense, our organizations web content filter. This is what I got from Adobe Support, which I sent to the IT guys.
In order for the content viewer on the iPad to work and bypass the network, make sure this two Adobe domain/url is allowed through the network.

FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6

Could you please attempt to shed some light on why FLVs created with ADOBE MEDIA ENCODER CS6 do not display thumbnails in ADOBE BRIDGE CS6, yet apple finder is able to display thumbnails for these same FLVs without issue?
I'm running CS6 Production Premium with ALL updates installed on 10.6.8
I appreciate any input and help provided the input is provided by someone who either
A) knows the answer because they actually work for adobe
B) actually tried this themselves before attempting to provide a solution
If the conclusion is that it is a codec issue or a header issue with the FLVs You'd have to present a very strong case to back that claim up as it makes no sense whatsoever that CS6 is unable to generate thumbnails for media encoded using CS6, yet Apple finder can without issue. NOT to mention the FLVs in question are CREATED on the same machine with the same codecs installed that is trying to generate previews in Bridge.
Apologies if my frustration is showing, I've gotten and seen several... incompetent replies on this forum regarding this issue and it has never been actually addressed properly as far as I can tell by Adobe support.

We are all just incompetent users here. As pointed out before this is just a user to user forum, Adobe rarely checks in.
I was hoping by now you would have gotten to the bottom of this problem and were offering a solution.

Portrait oriented thumbnail becomes Black Exclamation error when clicked on

After loading in pix from my new Canon G9 (12 megapixel), I can click on landscape oriented photos (from their thumbnails) and they come to full screen display as expected, however all the portrait oriented thumbnails flash up to full screen and then immediately are replaced by a weird big black exclamation mark in a white circle (this is all very blurry and the size of the full screen picture that should have been shown)... it is clearly some sort of error message indicator. I had no such problem with my Canon a710 (8 mpix).
Note, if I go to full screen viewing mode (by clicking the expander button at the bottom left of the screen) these pictures are displayed properly when I tab through my shots.
I searched iphoto help for "exclamation" and there is a discussion of a little exclamation error format (tiny compared to what I get displayed) and it signals problems locating the photo, but that is not the problem I have (it is findable, even displays briefly before being replaced by the BIG BLURRY EXCLAMATION IN A TELESCOPE TYPE VIEWFINDER image.
Any idea if this is a known bug and how do you report such a bug to Apple online?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The size of the exclamation mark doesn't matter, it means the same thing.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder in the Finder.
Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
If that fails try Download BatchMod from
http://macchampion.com/arbysoft/
And apply it to the iPhoto Library Folder using the settings found here:

But i don't WANT to update my library!

Ever since i updated iTunes, I am scared to plug in my iPod because i have a lot more songs on my iPod than on my computer, and I don't want them to be updated and deleted. I looked on the support website, and it said to log into another account, plug in your ipod and select "manually manage". Well, I tried doing that, and it started updating my library anyway. So i quickly hit escape so that it would stop. Now I don't know what to do. I want my iPod to be on manual mode, but I don't know how to get to that point without first deleting all of my songs. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

would that have meant that i would have deleted everything on my ipod?
Yes.
I don't have an explanation for it. Somehow the iPod overrules all settings.
To save the contents of your iPod, try this:
Verify if you have enough space left on the HD to hold the contents of your iPod.
Drag the iTunes application to the Trash. Don't empty the Trash, just drag iTunes to it. Applications can't run when they are in the Trash.
Download Senuti, iPodRip or similar application. You can find the latest versions on versiontracker.com (search for 'iPod' to find more).
When you run Senuti, it will show the contents of your iTunes library.
Connect the iPod. If all goes well (iTunes cannot launch) a small library icon will appear in the Source pane.
Go to the preferences of Senuti, click the 'Copying' icon and uncheck 'iTunes'
Set a 'Save Location:' (create a new folder) and close the preferences.
Then select all songs on the iPod and click the 'Copy' button.
Senuti will now copy all songs to the specified location.
iPodRip requires your iPod to be connected before you can run that application.
Once the contents of your iPod is copied, you can drag the iTunes application from the Trash and put it at it's original location.
Then connect the iPod and let it update. You can now (hopefully) change the settings of the iPod and add the 'missing' songs from the 'Save' folder to your library.

Edit:
After posting, I now noticed in your first post, you're using OS 9.
I should have noticed it before. If that is correct, all the above won't work.
I have not used OS 9 for a long time and forgotten most of the 'tricks'.
You may try to do similar as written above with 'iPodTrans - 0.5' ( http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/27209 ).
It looks, it can do the job, but I can't guide you through it.

Update Struts library in JDeveloper9.0.3

Hi,
I am using JDeveloper 9.0.3 and I updated the struts libraries with Struts1.1b3.I tried to test the Struts_Validator examples which is on webapps/struts-validator.war and I got the following compilation error:
Error: java.security.PrivilegedActionException <<java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.apache.commons.validator.ValidatorResources>>
Can anybody tell what I am doing wrong.
I went through this thread " How update Struts library" and I did the same thing but still I am getting errors.
Thanks
Srik

Hi !
You MUST use jdbc library supplied with Oracle client ( so classes12.zip from $ORACLE_HOME/jdbc/lib ), not with JDeveloper - this one might be incopatible with oci native libraries.
I hope , this helps.
