Upgrading my Computer and have a corrupt library problem...

I am upgrading my Macbook Pro, which is almost 2 years old, to a newer model. I am currently using Aperture 1 but will have Aperture 2 on my next computer.
Now my current problem is a corruption in my library that causes Aperture to crash every time I restart it. The only way I have found around this is to delete the aperture.aplib file and rebuild my library every time I have to restart.
Obviously when I get my new laptop I plan on transferring all my files over to it. The question is, should I just risk it and see if upgrading the library to Aperture 2 on a new computer fixes my problem, or is there some way I could troubleshoot the problem before my new computer arrives. I've tried to locate the corrupted files with no luck and I've restored the library maybe 30 times by now.
Any advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

I'd try making a second Library, then systematically exporting each Project form the old Library to the new one. This should at least diagnose which Project may be causing problems.
Obviously, you're going to need plenty of free HD space...

Hello there - how can I share my iTunes library between two users on the same computer? I put the library in a shared folder between both and have selected this library on both as well, but when I update iTunes with music etc it only appears on one?

Thank you Joe - I tried this but it's only showing a teensy amount of music - the stuff on the second users account as opposed to the giagntic library on the 'main' account. I actually went to a Genius Bar and they said that apple doesn't really want you to share music between accounts - parents don't want to hear their kids music etc. Which seemed strange, but it might be the case sadly Thanks anyway!

I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you.

I upgraded my computer and need a link to download Acrobat Pro 9 MAC. I have my serial number but do not have my disc. Please help and send link. Thank you. My MacPro computer is slowly dying and I need to get going with Acrobat Pro 9.

Unfortunately, Adobe has quit support of earlier version. They have a version of AA9 Pro for Windows posted, but not for the MAC as I understand it. You can try Adobe Acrobat X (10) Pro, Reader, and Suite Direct Download Links | ProDesignTools, but again I can only find PC versions. Someone may drop by with a link or you might see if anyone locally has the CD (that you could get the install file from). You will still need to use your original S/N.

I was trying to add an itunes library to my computer, and now my itunes library can not be found. An ipod can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. How can I find my Itunes library, complete with playlists ?

Right-click on your main iTunes folder and click Properties, then go to the Security tab and click Advanced. If necessary grant your account and SYSTEM full control of this folder, subfolders and files, then tick the option to replace permissions on child objects which will repair permissions throughout the library. This is the XP dialog but Windows 7 shouldn't be too different.
If it won't let you change the permissions use the Owner tab to take ownneship from an account with administror privileges.

If you plan on collaborating with other users who have progressed with the technology you are gong to have to upgrade. There is simply no way any longer to continue with XP and CS2 except in isolation.

Hey Podieboy,
Thanks for the question. It sounds like you are receiving a message about missing files when you start iTunes. The following resource may provide more information:

http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1408
If the file/song is not important, you can simply delete it from your library to avoid this error message in the future:

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center since. I get an error message for java webcam class not found. All of my software is up to date--suggestions?

For weeks I have been viewing a doggy day care center via their web cam. This weekend I upgraded to Lion and have been unable to view the center. I get an error message for Java plug-in 1.6.0_29 ....webcam class not found. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Sorry, don't know what else to suggest unless there's a URL to the problem stream that someone here can try. Otherwise we can't test it to try and determine what might be wrong.
BTW, make sure they're testing it with a Mac, not with a Windows system. If they test only with Windows, what they say is or is not working doesn't mean much.

I have just upgraded to Mavericks and have been using Time Machine on an external disk with Snow Leopard. Can I continue to backup with Time Machine on the same external disk or do I need a new disk since the operating system has changed?

Hi there,
I found that Time Machine in Mavericks will sort it all out for you. You shouldn't need to buy another backup drive, unless you have insufficient space left and can't afford to delete whats on there. It should just work fine.

I have a new Mac Pro computer and have migrated my files from my older computer to the new computer. In trying to open a Lightroom catalog on an external hard drive I keep on getting the message "lightroom cannot use the catalog named " " because it is not writable and cannot be opened. I have fixed all the "permissions" and yet it will still not open. How do I fix this?

Hello Forum Members,
I figured it out. You have to select the actual logo of the Lightroom catalog and then click on "get info" and allow what ever your new user name to "read and write". That worked!
