Where are the Aperture Previews?

I'm at a loss trying to work out why my Aperture preview pics are not coming up as available jpeg files in "Photos".  In other words, the files used by other apps such as Mail, iTunes, etc.  If I try to send an email and add a picture only a very outdated (and empty) iPhoto folder appears as an option.  What happened to the Aperture previews that worked just fine until I migrated to iCloud (may or may not be related but the problem started on the same day)?  I have the preview boxes checked in Aperture Preferences.  I have done all of the Aperture First Aid options such as rebuild and restore.  I have deleted and updated the previews using the instructions provided in the Aperture User Manual and still nothing.  I even rebuilt a new library using my externally saved backup vault.  Nothing works.  It's like, for lack of better wording, the computer refuses to share Aperture previews with any other application.  I can use Aperture itself just fine to import, edit, save files, I just cannot use the previews of them in Mail, Desktop, iTunes, etc.  When I do a generate previews the activity window shows all 7,000 previews being generated but where are they and why are they not available to other apps? 
Also, even though the new iCloud Photostream is turned on and working just fine on my ATV2, iPad 1 and iPhone I cannot get it to work on my iMac.  I check the photostream box in System Pref/iCloud and Aperture but after a slight pause the box goes unchecked by itself.  All software has been confirmed the latest available.
I appreciate any suggestions as I am at a loss on what to do next other then a full Aperture reinstall which I really do not want to do from DVD and numerous online updates unless my only option.   Even with a vault backup I am still nervous of losing 7000 pics.   Even then I still need to use the vault to recreate a new library so if the problem is somehow hidden within the vault a reinstall likely would not help either (I believe).   If that is the case (a corrupted vault), what do I do then?
Many Thanks
Mark

  All software has been confirmed the latest available.
Mac OS X (10.6.3)
Is your signature correct, then? I'd recommend to upgrade to 10.6.8.

You seem to be using iPhoto and Aperture alternately. You can share your Photo Stream only with one of these Applications. Maybe this is causing the stream to automatically beeing switched off. This has been reported by others. Search for other threads with "photo stream turning off" in the iCloud Forum.
I have done all of the Aperture First Aid options such as rebuild and restore.  I have deleted and updated the previews using the instructions provided in the Aperture User Manual and still nothing.  I even rebuilt a new library using my externally saved backup vault.
Have you tried to remove your Aperture Preference file? This file tells the Media Browser where the Aperture Library is located. If you have not done so already:
Quit Aperture
Open your user Library (inside your Home Folder) in the Finder and navigate to the "Preferences" folder.
Move your preferences file Library->Preferences-> com.apple.Aperture.plist to the desktop
Restart Aperture and direct it to your Aperture Library. Quit Aperture again.
Try to use the Media Browser from the System Preferences by setting your Desktop Picture.

  • Where are the aperture master files?

    ...trying to find where the photo files actually are on my hard drive?
    using Aperture 3.1.2 , fyi.
    thanks

    I recently had this problem and just figured out what it was. A3 default import option set <Store files> to 'in the aperture library'. What this actually does is ad the photos to the 'Aperture Library.aplibrary' file, which gets increasing bloated file. If you find this file and right-click to 'View package contents' you'll find your photos buried in there in <masters/year/random-number/>.
    If you want the files to simply be stored on the hard drive in a select file location, just change this dropdown in the import options to be the Image library location (or some other).

  • Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits?

    Where are the actual Aperture files located? Only in the application? I am transitioning to Lightroom and would like to only move some of the files. Advice appreciated. Also anyone know how to transfer in with edits? Using iMac, OS X, most recent Aperture and Lightroom 5.7 with plugin for Aperture.

    Define "the Aperture files".
    Read this concise guide.
    The files you imported into an Aperture Library can be exported (at any time, and repeatedly) using the command "File ▹ Export ▹ Originals".  Your Originals are never altered.  What went in is what comes out.
    Adjustments and changes to the metadata that you made since creating an Image in Aperture by importing a file are saved to a text file.  This file is combined, on-the-fly, with the Original to create the Image that you see in Aperture.  There is no file saved to disk that is the full-size Image.  Thumbnails are saved, and Previews are saved.  These are JPG files, almost always smaller than the Original.  They are not substitutes for the Image for the use you have.
    When you need a file of an Image to use in another program, you export the Image from Aperture.  "Export" means "Make me a file of this Image according to these file specs I'm providing".  The way to get files of your adjusted Images is simple:  create them by exporting.  Specify "Original size", and use a loss-less image-file format (e.g. TIFF 16-bit) if you want to retain as much visual information as possible.
    Search the Web for information about transitioning from Aperture to Lightroom.  Note that I say "transitioning".  You cannot move a database from one format to another without significant changes, and likely some loss of information.  Adobe provides a tool and some instructions.  I strongly recommend working out the process step-by-step, and then proceeding with first a few Images, then a bushel-ful, and stopping to use the first few, the the bushel-ful, before committing your entire collection to the process.
    As always, never use any computer file without having a back-up.
    We have seen mixed reports here of the success of the LR tool that creates a LR database from your Aperture database.
    If you want to carefully define the process, and test and refine it, use the excellent process-development, analysis, and execution program inShort.
    Sadly, there is not and can never be a good, thorough re-positioning of the digital assets in your Aperture Library to become digital assets in a LR database.  Just as a metaphor for any user contemplating transitioning to another digital asset manager:  that would be like digging up a house in one country, planting it in a hole in another country, and expecting to be able to use the toilet and the sinks, turn on the lights, cook dinner, and sleep soundly.

  • Where are the official microsoft ISO's for windows 10 preview?

    Hi All,
    Where are the official Microsoft ISO's for Windows 10,  10051 and 10056 preview?   They are all over the web, but I don't trust them unless they comes from Microsoft itself.
    Many thanks,
    -T

    To ToddAndMargo,
    RE : Is there a way to manually go to Windows Updates and manually download a particular file
    No. All updates will be downloaded and installed automatically. You don't get to choose which to install and which to decline.
    RE : And I can't find 10049's ISO either (from Microsoft). 
    As of now, the only most current ISO available is for build 10041. Build 10049 ISO is not yet available.
    When build 10049 is released from Slow ring, usually it is also the time its ISO will be released.
    RE: ESD file. How?
    One cannot download an esd file of build 10049 from Windows Update.
    You download and install the entire build 10049 via Windows Update. When it is done, you can then find its Installed.esd file from RecoveryImage folder and use it to manually create an ISO fie. You will need a specific program to create an ISO from Esd.
    You might ask " why do I need an ISO fie if the operating system is already installed ?"
    Some users are advocates of "clean install". They prefer clean install over upgrade install. Clean install can be done by burning the ISO file into a bootable DVD or an USB with at least 4 GB capacity and use it to install.
    You can also use the same media and install in another compatible computer.
    It can also serve as an emergency backup incase you need to reinstall.

  • Where are the images stored after migration

    I'm totally lost after migrating my pictures from iPhotos.app to Photos.app...
    From an article from Apple, (see below) there is no duplication of the library even if it looks like (when you look at the GB). So i understand that there is a kind of link or alias for each picture. But i would like to know where the original ones are (imposible to know looking at the finder because both libraries show strangely a lot of GB.
    So I tried different options to understand. If I delete an event in the iPhoto library and definitely trash it, these pictures are still in Photos. And if I delete some pictures in Photos.app definitely (deleting definitely from File Menu > Show Recently Deleted) these pictures are still in iPhoto !!! So where are the real pictures ??? In which library? Somewhere else? Why the two libraries are showing all these Gb and it does'n't correspond to the capacity storage of my hard disk...
    I really don't understand how it works... Any help would be very appreciated.
    Article from Apple :
    Photos saves disk space by sharing images with your iPhoto or Aperture libraries
    Learn how Photos stores images when you migrate your iPhoto or Aperture library and saves disk space by sharing images.
    When you migrate a photo library from iPhoto or Aperture, the Photos app creates a new library structure but doesn't duplicate your images. Instead, Photos saves disk space by creating links to the original and preview versions of your images.When Finder reports the file size of your Photos library, it includes all your originals and previews. It may look like your remaining iPhoto or Aperture library is taking up twice the space on your hard drive, but it isn't—your images exist only in one location, even though you may have more than one photo library.After you migrate your iPhoto or Aperture library to Photos, you might feel tempted to delete your original iPhoto or Aperture library. Because the migrated library takes little additional space, you don't need to delete the original library.

    They're in both libraries; a hard link to a file is indistinguishable from the original file, and either one can be deleted without affecting the other.

  • (261936172) Q general Where are the Web Service source files?

    Q <general> Where are the source files for a Web Service created
    with WebLogic Workshop stored? How do I deploy the Web Service
    on a different WebLogic Server? Is there a way to bundle the
    Web Service project files manually to distribute them?
    Is there a way to configure the directory where Workshop stores
    the files?
    ANSWER: (by Adam Fitzgerald, [email protected]) The .jws files are stored
    in the project folder. This can be located on a local system, although by default
    they are in c:\bea\wlserver700b\sample\workshop\applications. The Web Service
    structure is understood by WLS 7.0 so by archiving the appropriate folder you
    can transfer the Web Service in its entirety from one deployment to another.

  • Where is the multiscreen preview panel in Dreamweaver CC?

    Where is the multiscreen preview panel in Dreamweaver CC?

    Hi Harshit, thats only for Dreamweaver upto CS6. I can't believe it theyve removed if for CC, just had it confirmed by Adobe that its 'not accessible anymore'
    Really bad idea in my opinion we work on responsive sites all day and it really helped to quickly get an idea for the integrity of the design on phone, tablet and desktop at the average screen sizes. Now there is no way to see all 3 at the same time. C'mon Adobe what are you doing??????

  • Why have all my previous "My Ratings" (stars) have been removed and Smart Albums(i.e. 5 star rating in past year) virtually destroyed in the update to the new Photos program?  Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?

    Upon updating to the new Photos program, all the previous "My Ratings" (1-5 stars) for photos have been removed. Why?  My "Smart Albums" using the "My Ratings", i.e. photos with a 5 star rating within the past year, have been virtually destroyed in the update.  The updates "modified" Smart
    Album deleted the "My Ratings" parameter, retained the Date parameter so now Smart Album includes every photo within the date range parameter.  Where are the "My Ratings" capabilities ?  It appears they have been removed.  If so, why ?

    Photos doesn't have true star ratings.
    However, when photos are migrated from iPhoto or Aperture to Photos, they will have keywords assigned, like "1 star" or "5 stars". You can create smart albums based on these keywords.
    You can also assign keyboard shortcuts so if you're in the keyword pane and type 1, it will assign the "1 star" keyword.

  • Where are the diagnostic reports, or why aren't there any?

    Hello
    I understand that under mavericks, diagnostic reports are supposed to be found either in
    /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/ (System Diagnostic Reports),
    or in 
    ~/Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports (User Diagnostic Reports).
    Unfortunately, even after a number of crashes, they aren't. While in my case, the system DiagnosticReports folder exists, but contains nothing but powerstats, in the user library, not even the folder is there.
    So, either they are elsewhere, or they aren't being generated. In the first case, my question would be: Where are the diagnostic reports? In the latter, it would be: Why aren't there any (despite the system crashes)?
    (A similar question is to be found here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24773940#24773940 , but ended with an open question. I'm starting a new thread, because this old one is marked as answered.)

  • Where are the .folio-files on a local desktop?

    Hi,
    I've created a publication in InDesign CS5.5 and built this in the folio builder to a complete local folio. Where are the .folio-files, I've composed, on my Mac? If I create an ebook, I'll save the document as an ePub-file and find this in the folder. But if I create an emagazine in InDesign, I guess there is a .folio-file. I can't find it. Could someone help?
    Yours sincerly,
    florian / eskalade werbeagentur

    Hi Florian,
    A folio is not something that you would consider as a normal file that you create, transmit to some other place and read it (comparable to an ePub). The folio's are stored within the 'cloud' (on Adobe managed servers). To preview your content, you can look at the folio on devices (iPad, Kindle Fire, android) with the Adobe Content Viewer. To create a 'branded viewer' (application) you can use DPS Single Edition or a subscription to DPS Professional / Enterprise. These services are meant for the distribution of your content.

  • Where are the drivers?

    Alright it's probably a stupid question but I just bought a new mac that came with leopard.I used boot camp to partition and install windows vista on my new mac. Everything worked fine until I had to install the drivers.I don't know where the drivers are. They supposed to be in the leopard dvd that i don't have. Where are the drivers?

    Hi Obe7,
    the Mac OSX install disc that you used to install Leopard on your Mac is a 'hybrid'-disc, which contains an OSX part (only visible while in OSX) and a Windows part (only visible while in Windows).
    The BootCamp 2.0 drivers are on the Windows part of that disc.
    While in Windows insert that disc and usually the driver installation starts automatically.
    If not, use the Windows Explorer to navigate to the disc and start the 'setup.exe' file manually.

  • Where are the older BIOS versions gone?

    Hi
    A few weeks back, I've upgraded the BIOS on my Pavilion G6 1001sq to the latest version (F66). I noticed that the laptop is running considearbly hotter since then and I want to revert to an older BIOS version. When I go to the updates page on the HP website and click on "older versions available" I can only see the F66 version on the page I'm directed to ( http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/previousVersions?softwareitem=ob-115746-1&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=en&os=4... ), although a long list with many versions was available till recently. Where are the older versions gone?

    Unfortunately, I do not know where they have gone. HP is working on issues with the suport and driver servers at the moment.
    Since your notebook does have the UEFI Diagnostics installed, you should be able to rollback to the previous version that was installed. Use the firmware management option to do that.

  • Where are the print drivers found?

    I have a Brother HL 2040 laser printer. THe Brother website has a version 2.2 driver for this printer. I downloaded and installed. When I add the printer I keep getting version 1.4 driver.
    Can someone tell me where are the drivers found on my iMac?
    Also I am trying to get this to print via a Linksys wireless print server. Do I use the ip address for the print server or the printer when adding this.
    I tried using the print server IP but I get a "printer paused" issue. I think I need the new print driver.
    thanks in advance for any help.

    I have not gotten the driver to update to the newest version. I deleted the Brother Folders as mentioned in the replies, no joy. No matter what I do it ends up 1.4 not 2.0.
    Version 1.4 worked OK for a USB connection, so I went forward with trying to get the network connection going. By trying every combination available I got it to work.
    What HP jetdesk-socket has to do with my printer...escapes me. But that combination with version 1.4 driver works.
    I will leave well enough alone.
    I have 2 other computer to update to SL.....maybe.
