When to rebuild? and what is the rebuild later option?

Hi,
Something happened yesterday that is causing aperture to crash repeatedly. I think the problem may be with one project where I tried to edit a few raw files and also tried to do a round trip in photoshop with another file. The first symptoms were that the edits using the hud tool did not show up on the display in the viewer or alternate display. Then I quit aperture and restarted it and got about 54 versions of the file I was trying to edit. Then I deleted these and tried to do the edit in photoshop. First time I tried 'edit in external' it didn't open photoshop, then on the second try it did. Well the photoshop edit made it back, but now aperture just quits abruptly whenever I try to do anything.
Is this a case for rebuilding my library? I've got some concerns before trying this because I have about 70,000 images in several hundred projects. Also how long with this take? Finally, what is the option to rebuild later for? The dialog box informs me this will clear the database and I can rebuild later.... hmm that doesn't sound good. Are they expecting me to rebuild from the vault or what? I've got 7 projects not yet backed up to the vault.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi Kendall,
Thanks for the suggestions. I actually had already tried this before my post and had first moved the two projects that I worked on last outside the library but that didn't solve my problem because aperture still shows the projects in the list but grayed out. When I tried to delete these projects it would crash. Its possible that I didn't find the project that was causing the trouble and in any case, I think yours was a good idea so maybe it will work in other instances. Oddly I was able to back up my library to the vault without crashing with the two projects replaced back into the library and then I just hit the rebuild option which took much less than the time needed to back up to the vault. Now everything is okay!

    either something got damaged when you installed the hard drive or you need to perform a pram reset (other possibilites could have occured, these are the ones I think)

    You can probably change the ID in the "iTunes and App stores" settings on the iPad....click on the wrong account ID , select sign out, then log in with your own ID, I have not done this but I think it works.....
    but I would be more inclined to to the factory reset and start afresh.

    We can't know if there's a "fixture" because we can't examine your phone.  But Apple can.  Make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

  • IMac 21.5 inch mid 2011 white screen when I wake it,  holding down mouse button and sweeping the screen restores the desktop.  Any one else had this and what was the solution?

    When the Mac is awaken from sleep mode the screen is white.  I can hold the mouse button down and sweep the screen and the desktop reappears and everything works as normal..This just started and I am concerned that some hardware, video card or video memory is failing.  Has anyone else had this problem and what was the solution?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, or by a peripheral device. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem.  Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

    Hi Henrik
    depend on what you need or what your security policy says for my lab gear i use 60 minutes. because i know how can access this. if you have gear outside in insecure space set it to a minimum or disable the console. everybody how can access your gear can break in. simple restart and boot w/o config. and you are in.
    it realy depends how secure is your space and how much security you need.
    and than the settings for policy have to match, what sec do you have if your console login and logout is secure. but when you restart you can simple break in by starting w/o config and than load it.

  • ThreadOpt values - is it possible to set them and what are the ranges?

    Hi there,
    I have a problem on my TestStand 4.2 platform, with test step result, formed and received from called external sequences results. In my Main sequence, in Post-Expression I defined condition, according to which the "Step.Result.Status" is passed or failed, and it works. But the problem is that in Status Expression field there is following statement: "(Step.Result.Status == "Done" && (Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt == 0 || Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt == 3)) ? "Passed" : Step.Result.Status". After deep search in the user manual, I found that (Note from "Expression Tab - Step Properties Dialog Box"): "Certain types of steps, such as Numeric Limit Tests, Multiple Numeric Limit Tests, String Value Tests, Pass/Fail Tests, and Statement steps, reserve one or more of these expressions to perform operations specific to the type of step or a substep performs the operation. In these cases, you cannot use the expressions the step type reserves, which appear dimmed on the tab." 
    Now, my problem is that at this specific step I call to an external sequence, which returns results and it is correct, but if these results, compared to expected are not the same, my step in the main sequence fails. Which is OK. But when the final report is generated I see there "Number of Tests Failed: 0", which is not OK. Since I can't change the "Step.Result.Status == Done", which comes from the external sequence, I thought that may be there is a place to change the "Step.TS.SData.ThreadOpt" and this way to cause to main sequence to correctly report "Failed Tests <> 0"??? 
    Does anyone has an idea whether it is possible to set this the ThreadOpt value and what is the accepted range?
    Your feedbacks and inputs are highly appreciated.

    Hello Doug,
      I didn't think I was modifying any hidden properties.  It's just configuring a sequence call step when you add it to the sequence.  The "Execution Options" are clearly shown in a dropdown menu on the Module tab.  I was just pointing out that this seems to be what sets the ThreadOpt variable.  
    GSinMN
    Maybe I misunderstood. When you said "My normal process is to set it to 1, but based on this info, it needs to be either set to None or Use Remote Computer if you want anything other than "Done" to be returned." I thought you meant that you were setting the property directly rather than setting your sequence call steps to "New Thread" with the combobox.

  • Can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to Imac and what are the consequences

    can I interrupt a migration from Mac Book Pro to iMac and what are the consequences

    Les:
    Here are some options:
    • You could copy the data file to your laptop, work on it, and update the file on the iMac when you are back.
    • You can use an application like Log Me In to access your home computer from your laptop.
    • You can use DropBox. Install it on both computers, place your data file in a folder on the iMac, access it and work on it on your laptop and it will be automatically updated on your computer at home, even if it is not turned on, as soon as it is connected to the internet.
    Please do post back with further questions or comments.

    Do I need Java 8 or should I disable it? What happens if i disable it? And what is the difference between Java and Java Runtime?

    There's no difference. They're both runtime plug-ins (they run when an app calls for Java functions).
    You only need Java if you either have Java apps on your Mac that won't run without having it installed, or you use trusted web sites that require Java to function (getting fewer and far between). Otherwise, you have no need for it at all.

  • What download is available for an Asus tablet running Android and what is the latest version/release?

    I cannot access my electricity account because my Firefox release is earlier than 3.6. When I go to check available downloads for my Asus Tablet which runs Android it shows the Linux version as available and when I look for the Android version it indicates it is for phones using Android. Will the Phone (mobile) work on my Asus Tablet and what is the latest version/release?

    Firefox for Android is compatible with tablets, including your Asus Transformer tablet. I recommend installing '''[https://market.android.com/details?id=org.mozilla.firefox_beta Firefox 9 Beta]''', because it includes a new interface designed especially for Android tablets.
