Why Can I Not See Clone and Retouch Effects?

Hello out there!
I have newly installed Aperture 3.3.1 on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.7.4 running Lion, also newly installed.
My previous version of Aperture 2.? clone and retouch buttons suddenly stopped working months ago and never did start again - I have trashed Aperture 2.
Aperture 3 clone and retouch tools also don't work. When I try to use either tool, they appear to work, but no change is visible. Each try adds a stroke in the adjustment pane, but I can't see the changes.
I may have read somewhere in these discussions, but I can't find it again now, someone's tip to rebuild the library?
Anyone have any thoughts? Greatly appreciated.

Kirby's advice should work, if you open the correct library: You are looking at the system library /Library/Preferences, not at your user library.
In Mac OS X Lion your User Library is hidden by default.
You can access it by using the Finder's "Go" menu from the Finder's main menu bar.
Select the "Go" menu entry and hold down the "alt/option" key ⌥, until the library appears in the drop down menu.
Select and click "Library".
In the window that opens select the "Preferences" folder, and then move the file "com.apple.Aperture.plist" to the Desktop, like Kirby suggested.
Make sure, you quit Aperture properly, before you move the preference file. Im Mac OS X Lion new process system (automatic termination) the only safe way to ensure that an application really quits is to log off and on again.
Then it should work, like Kirby Krieger suggested. And please let us know, if this brought back your clone brushes.
Regards
Léonie
P.S. If you want to make your user library permanently accessible again, drag the folder to the Finder's sidebar or change the hidden flag to "nohidden" using the Terminal:
Open a terminal window and enter:
chflags nohidden ~/Library
Then hit return.

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events from my iPhone in my mac pro if I already registered it in the cloud?

Why can´t I see contacts and calendar events already registered in my iPhone, in my Mac Pro ? I already actualize LION OSX and selected these items in the adjustments menu of the icloud. I could do it just once, after I installed Lion OSX, but up to the moment it does not updates.

Assuming you activated iCloud, try going to Settings>iCloud and make sure Calendars and Contacts are set to ON.

I imported 635 images into an iPhoto album so that I can share them via a photo-stream. However, iPhoto says there are only 600. When I try to add the missing images it says they are already there. Why can i not see these images in iPhoto?

Generally I would not use Facebook for sharing any photos, it compresses the photos substantially, and when you have shadows and dark colours you get visible "bands" where there should be subtle gradients, ie at sunsets and sunrises.
It sounds like you are using two methods to upload to Facebook:
1. Sharing from within Aperture, which basically syncs Facebook with your Aperture album, so any changes made at either end gets synced, hence the deletions from Albums, although the original file should still be in your library, just removed rom the album. It is like a playlist in iTunes.
2. Exporting pics and uploading to Facebook from the browser.
I am not sure how method 1 gets compressed, but I know that uploading hi-res jpegs to Facebook using method 2 results in poor quality images.
I wouldn't even bother comparing option 1 or 2, and they will both be poor images once you view them on Facebook, as opposed to viewing uploaded images on proper image sharing / hosting sites.
Your problem is not with Aperture, it is using Facebook for showing your work.
If you export pics form Aperture at high res jpegs or TIFFs your images will be fine.
If you insist to use Facebook as your way to share your work, then your workflow should be this:
1. Right click images you want to share.
2. Select Export version.
3. Export as 100% size and ensure the export settings are set at 100% quality.
4. Upload this pic into Facebook.
This will get you the best image size and resolution on Facebook.
See how you go.

If it doesn't show up your system doesn't support it. It's as easy as that. Refer to the system requirements for the applications.

Why can I not see a table I own inside a procedure

I have a procedure owned by user X as follows:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
    cursor c1 is
    select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
    v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
    FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
    CLOSE C1;
    RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into   v_debugLevel
from   system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
    NULL;
when others then
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
   raise;
end;
Table system_parameter is owned by user X.
When I execute I get:
TESTSSG.SUBSCRIPTION.87> exec ztm_get_debug_level
AAAA - X
p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS
BEGIN ztm_get_debug_level; END;
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-00942: table or view does not exist
ORA-06512: at "SUBSCRIPTION.ZTM_GET_DEBUG_LEVEL", line 32
ORA-06512: at line 1
When I run the query outside the procedure as user X I get a row.
Any ideas?
FYI, there are no public sysnonyms.
DB version: 11.2.0.3.0
Thanks,
Thomas

Thanks Frank,
SYSTEM_PARAMETER is a table owned by X. If I qualify the select statement by adding the owner it works, but of course I do not want to do that. Here is the DDL for creating SYSTEM_PARAMETER:
create table SYSTEM_PARAMETER
name         VARCHAR2(256) not null,
date_value   DATE,
number_value NUMBER,
string_value VARCHAR2(512),
comments     VARCHAR2(512)
alter table SYSTEM_PARAMETER add constraint PK_SYSTEM_PARAMETER primary key (NAME);
Again, if I rewrite the procedure to the following (only difference is the red X.), it works:
create or replace procedure ztm_get_debug_level is
vc_pkg_name system_parameter.name%TYPE := 'DEBUG_LEVEL_PKG_BASE_KEYS';
vn_error     services.debug_log_level.debug_level_id%TYPE := 30;
v_debugLevel   system_parameter.number_value%TYPE;
function get_owner return varchar2 is
    cursor c1 is
    select owner from all_tables where table_name = 'SYSTEM_PARAMETER';
    v_Ret_Val VARCHAR2(30);
BEGIN
    OPEN C1;
    FETCH C1 INTO v_Ret_Val;
    CLOSE C1;
    RETURN v_Ret_Val;
END;
begin
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('AAAA - ' || get_owner);
select s.number_value
into   v_debugLevel
from   X.system_parameter s
where s.name = vc_pkg_name;
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('BBBB');
exception
when no_data_found then
    NULL;
when others then
   DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('p_get_debug_level.WHEN OTHERS');
   raise;
end;
This procedure exists in 4 other environments where there are no issues. It can't be a privileges issue as the table is owned by user X and as you can see by the lookup (which was added for debug) against ALL_TABLES the owner is clearly X. So, why can X not select from it's own table unless we include the owner?
Thanks,
Thomas
