Viewer Screen Black after Mavericks and Apertutre updates

Hello All, I have updated to Mavericks on my home iMac that is a few years old, and a new one at work that is 6 months old. Everything was fine and then I updated to Aperture 3.5. Now on BOTH machines, I am able to see all of my images in browser view fine. In split view the images in the filmstrip at the bottom of the screen are still fine, but the main image being viewed is black. In full viewer the image is completely black. It will indicate loading, show all photo info at the bottom of the viewer, but load as a black image.I can use an external editor PS5 without issue. I have completed the three step for the library first aid. When opening Aperture, the image may flash on the screen for a split second, and then show as black.
Apple support only seemed interested in having me sign up for Apple Care, even though this is a software bug, so this left me a bit unhappy. As a photographer that really needs Aperture running correctly, I'm at a standstill and may need to move to Adobe as an emergency solution.

Weird it is happening on two separate machines. Was the library from one machine copied to the other? What camera and are the originals Raw?
Try making a new empty library and import a few images into it, what happens? If it still fails there try running as a new user or from the Guest account if you have that enabled. Start Aperture and add a few images to a new library, what happens?
Also try looking at one of the original files in Preview, is it OK there?

  • Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update

    Websites were deleted from configuration after Maverick OSX Server Update.  My subversion access was also overwritten and no longer works.

    if that was a bug report, then Apple might or might not see it here.  There's a Provide Server Feedback in the menus of Server.app, if you'd like to let the Server.app folks know about the upgrade problems I've encountered.
    If you're looking for help resetting the web sites (I'm not clear if you're reporting a bug or looking for help with this), then check Server.app for where the files should be (the default location is under /Library/Server/Web/Data directory) and see where your current sites are stored in the file system, establish the Site via Server.app (usually with a directory under the  /Library/Server/Web/Data path) and move the contents over to the new location.
    As for the Outlook comment in your footer, Microsoft Outlook also generally needs to have the FQDN requirements removed in the SMTP HELO processing.  Outlook doesn't send that, and the default Postfix configuration will reject those connections as spam.  Here's a discussion of how to do this.  (I don't see a path to the HELO processing via sudo serveradmin settings mail:postfix commands.)

  • Screen black after sleep startup and won't turn off w/ power button?

    I have a Powerbook G4 and hardly ever turn it off, till lately.
    My computer started turning itself off after I would open it and wake it up from sleep mode. It would flash the screen quickly and then go black. All efforts to turn it off with the power button failed. I had to remove the battery and disconnect the power cord for about 2 minutes until it eventually shut down. I have not had this issue since I have been turning it off after every use, but was wondering if this was a sign that something was going out on my computer?
    Thanks!

    Try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.
    There's more to try but let's go a bit at a time.

  • New iMac crashing after Lion and SN updates

    Well this is my story bought my new imac Jan 2011 - Snow leopard 10.6.4 installed - worked fine problems started after upgrades to 10.6.5 and 10.6.6 - wifi probs initially then a tendency to crash to black screen about twice a day - just a little click noise then nothing often when surfing.... anyway endured this prob and thought upgrading to Lion might fix it...
    After installing Lion my new imac ran for 2 mins max before crashing to black screen - I went online and tried all 'known' fixes (no help) - I am now back to 10.6.4 and have had a trouble free day ....been using macs since 1993 and never recall a prob as bad as this - still have a Blueberry imac running OSX beta (lol changed the clock) and Emac running 10.2

    Also as a general rule of thumb NEVER NEVER EVER EVER  upgrade a computer that isn't 100% stable at the time of the upgrade. When you do you are NOT fixing a problem you are making the problem much more difficult to troubleshoot and fix. You may benefit by reading Understanding upgrade nightmares, this should help explain and possibly shed some light on your problems. My iMac has successfully upgraded over many many updates including major OS X upgrades from Tiger to Leopard to Snow Leopard and now Lion. In each case the migration was simple and the computer remains as reliable as it did when it was new. This is primarily because the computer was stable on each upgrade.
    My recommendation would be to start all over again with the base version of OS X that was installed on your system. Do an erase and install and only upgrade to the next version of OS X when the system is 100% stable. WZZ wrote a good guide on the process he does when he upgrades, I do something very similar and as explained each update has been very smooth. Please read his Update Process.

  • Screen flickering after 10.6.3 update

    Hi,
    Am using a Samsung 22" SyncMaster monitor with my 2009 Mac Mini connected via VGA with resolution 1680 x 1050 at 60Hz and after 10.6.3 update the screen flickers allowing me to see the desktop for around 1-2 seconds. Its really annoying but the only way to get rid of it is if i change the resolution to 1600 x 1000 also at 60 Hz but everything is blurry!
    I checked the monitor manual and its recommended resolution is 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz.
    Does anyone else have this issue and is there a fix?!
    Thank you.

    Yes, I have the exact same problem.
    I had this problem in 10.5.X as well. When I updated to Snow Leopard this went away. Now with 10.6.3 it is back again.
    I worked around this problem in 10.5 by installing switchResX and playing around with the settings for the monitor... I haven't tried that in 10.6.3 yet.
    I hope Apple fixes this soon. Being forced to use 3rd party software just to use the mac is unacceptable.

  • I upgraded to Mavericks and automatic updates disabled printer wifi connection

    I upgraded to Mavericks and purchased new HP OfficeJet Pro 8100 printer with wireless connection.  Has been working fine until today my system downloaded a bunch of upgrades automatically: I didn't know how to stop the automatic downloads (I was accustomed to deciding which ones I wanted in SnowLeopard!)  but it downloaded all of them and I don't know which ones to trash and I REALLY DON'T KNOW HOW TO DISINSTALL ANY OF THEM! I am really in a quandary and about to throw the new printer and anyone else I can find out the window~
    Here is list of automatic downloads:
    OS X NTP Security Update; Security Update 2014-005v. 1.0; Safari v.7.1.2./ Remote Desktop Client Update v.3.7.1/ OS X Update Combined 10.9.5/ iTunes v. 12.0.1/ iBooks Update v. 1.0.1/ HP Printer Software v.3
    Now the printer won't connect to Wifi (nor with USB cable)... It was working fine yesterday. I read that some updates block connections but have no idea what to do now???
    HELP
    Rose

    Have you tried removing the HP from Printers & Scanners and then adding it back again to see if this will let you print?
    You could also try a reset of the printing system. Note that this action will remove all devices from the Printers & Scanners preference pane thus requiring you to add them back again. To reset, open Printers & Scanners and right click in the section where your printers are listed, A small pop-up menu will appear. Select it and confirm that you want to reset and then enter your admin password when prompted.

  • Text disappear after flash and windows update

    Hi,
    I'm living a strange exprerience from the last windows software update (after i update even flash, to ensure that there was not a compatibility problem) , i can't display some fonts if I choose the option "anti-alias for reliability" , for example for the joeHand 2 , but the text came out again if I choose "bitmap" or "use device fonts" as display option.
    This seams a problem with this particular font, but appears only after an automatic windows update, and is not valid for every font.
    Someone resolve/had a similar problem?
    Thank you

  • Pavilion no audio after windows and HP updates

    A good Memorial Day to all.
    I have an HP Pavilion G7.  Four days ago Windows pushed out an update and audio worked afterward.  Next day (three days ago), HP had an "important" update that kept popping up so my wife downloaded that update and installed.  Since then, no audio from the PC or working on my external speaker.
    I did a system restore rolling back one week  - no change.
    I reinstalled the HP audio driver - no change.
    No audio now, totally DOA.  BTW, the slider bars do show audio being processed but not heard.
    I'm guessing the Windows update or the HP update (whatever they were) directly caused this.
    Any help appreciated.
    Noiseless in St Pete...

    I would check the Windows updates and HP updates.
    You can see when tMicrosoft Windows updates were installed by accessing Programs and Features and then selecting view installed features.   Uninstall them one at a time.
    You can check on the HP updates by accessing the log that is in the HP Support Assistant to see what was installed.
    Best regards,

  • Flickering Screen issue after Mavericks update released on Feb 26, 2014

    I own a Macbook Retina display bought in early 2014. After installing the recent Maverick update released around Feb 26, 2014 the display developed flickering problem while scrolling and now the scrolling is not smooth any more. The originally shipped machine did not have this problem. I tested other software including Photoshop and the display still flickers while panning the canvas. I also tried resetting the SMC - System Management Controller but it didn't work along with other attempts of resetting the disk permissions, running a systems cleaner, changing the wifi-router etc.
    How to fix this flickering screen issue?

    The problem came back lately and I tried this solution and it worked. Go to system settings > power saver > and switch off the Automatic Graphic switching. Not sure if this is a good solution, but it seem to have worked for the time being.

  • Screen Black after waking from sleep mode (after 10.4.11 update)

    This issue has happened before with an earlier update (10.3.8 Delta fixed the issue originally), and I suspect it is the same with this current update.
    Has anyone else had this problem with the new update and has there been a patch released to fix the problem yet? Hopefully we can get an update soon.

    This happens every so often to my 12" Aluminium PowerBook after sleeping (black screen, hard drive spinning away) and after trying every possible key combination and nothing helping, I'm usually left with the usual last resort, which is a hard restart. Of course that remedies the problem short term but unfortunately, only until the next time it happens. For me, it has been an issue since I bought it and is not affected by the OS.
    I am wondering if it has anything to do with the clasp not working properly when the lid is closed. Sometimes I get the sleeping light, sometimes not - unless I play with the lid until it clicks shut. Then the light appears. Importantly, when the sleeping light appears, the machine always wakes properly with the lid opening. But I have noticed that when the light does not come on and I haven't bothered to shut it down properly, that is when the problem occurs. Which makes me wonder if rather than going into sleep mode it is actually going into hibernation mode due to non use? I haven't a clue but perhaps someone here knows far more about such things than myself?

  • Screen flickering after iOS 6.1 update and some apps crashing frequently on my iPhone 4 .. I didn't have this in 6.0.1 back when people complained about it

    hello, I had no keyboard flickering issues back when my iPhone 4 was on iOS 6.0.1 then I updated to 6.1 yesterday and now I have apps crashing frequently and keyboard flickering? anyone else having the same issue after the update? any known solution?

    I'm having the same issue on my iPhone 4 since yesterday when I updated to iOS 6.1 from 5.1.1.
    After about an hour after the upgrade, it crashed/rebooted itself and went completely white/grey screen with a brighter white line in the middle. My power/sleep button was broke already, so I couldn't do anything on it. I left it to drain the battery for about 6 hours.  During that time, the edges around the white/grey screen became darker and darker like burn-in effect. After it ran out of the battery, I connected the phone to the PC through USB and iTunes let me restore it to iOS 6.1 firmware I downloaded before.
    The restore was successful, but the entire screen keeps flickering rapidly, not just a part of the screen.
    Is it hardware or software related issue?? Any idea?

  • After Maverick was installed, updates on IPHOTO and others won't work because Apple ID is already used.

    I installed update on my IMAC for new Maverick OS X  10.9.2
    It will not allow the update on a few Apps, such as IPhotos, it says Apple ID is already in use.
    1. What is the problem here
    2. What am I supposed to do about fixing it?

    Have you tried signing out of the App Store and then back in with the Apple ID and password that you used to purchase the iMac? 
    If that fails contact support in the App Store with the link circled below:

  • MacBook (2007) screen black after reboot/shutdown

    Hi all I hope you can help me.
    I have a MacBook C2D 2GHz, 2gigs of ram from mid 2007.
    I cant remember when the problem appeared but maybe 6 months ago.
    Every time my macbook is rebootet or shutdown after an update or if it runs out of battery the screen remains black. The sleep light stays constant on but the chime is played and cd drive makes it usual short start up sound.
    I can hear the harddrive working and after maby 30 sec, the screen comes on but its all whiteish with a black stripe down in the right side and stays like this, other times the screen comes on with the desktop but flashing/bounching
    If I hold down the power button to kill it off and hit the powerbutton again the same thing happens.
    The way I fix it is to power off, take out the battery for about 10 sec. put it back in and hold the trackpad button down or put two fingers on the trackpadand power on, it starts normal with the grey screen and the littel apple logo and boot normally to the desktop. But today today it took me 7 atempts with the above method before it worked.
    Is my screen about to die or is it software related.

    I have the same problem and I dont think I had this happen until 2 weeks ago and I've had the latop since the last week of August. I've also had the problem crop up when I had the laptop go to sleep while watching a video online and when I tried to wake the laptop back from sleep, I get the blank screen with the cursor. My system is a Macbook air 11" 2013 1.3 Ghz with 4gb ram and 256 gb SSD. I also have a 15 MBPro and have not encountered this problem. Is this anyway related to the recent update that OSX was pushing for the upcoming Maverick update?
