Why do my places pins disappear depending on which places view I choose.

I am using Aperture 3.2.1. The library in question only has 612 photos.
When I have no fliters selected and I choose Photos in the Inspector panel in Browser view. I SELECT ALL photos. All of my photos show up.
If I then click on the Places in the Inspector panel, all locations and pins show up. All of my photos are accessible.
(The headline on the top of the screen for the places view shows 2 countries, 4 states, etc... correctly.)
However, if I then select Photos in the Inspector Panel. Again SELECT ALL Photos. All of my photos show up.
If I then click on the Places View in the upper right, a map shows up with the proper area of the map in zoom view, but no pins. The headline is still correct.
If I click on the headline to refine it to one place, the map jumps in close to one of the countries. Then I can hit the home button and all of the pins appear. I can zoom out and all seems fine.
Then I click the browser view, and immediate switch back to the places view and again.. all the pins disappear. I have tried repairing/rebuilding the database to no effect.

ps. This happens only in this one library, gps information and pins show up properly in the metadata location view for each picture, pins show up properly when I go to the project inspector and click on the information button. I have also tried exporting this project as a new library and conversly creating a new project and importing it. Neither remedies the situtation. I do not want to export all the pictures out of Aperture and then reimport them as I will lose all of my face information. Plus I would like to know what the problem is so I do not run into this situation again.

Aperture 3 and Places - pins disappear

I've been scanning slides to TIFF, importing them into Aperture 3, and assigning places. I've found that with many of my files, when I quit Aperture and later relaunch, the pins are gone. Moreover, I have actually watched pins disappear when I deselect a file in places view.
This happens even when I've written IPTC data to master. It has been inconsistent about which files drop their pins - one file might lose its pin one time, and retain it another.
This is extremely frustrating - has anyone else experienced it? If so, have you figured out how to stop it?
Thanks!
Alex

When you say your "pins disappear", are you saying that the Latitude and Longitude fields in your Metadata are being wiped out? (Select the GPS pulldown preset on your Metadata tab to see them, if you haven't added these to a custom Metadata View yet).
And are you sure that you don't have some sort of filter on that is making the "pins disappear"? I found that Aperture would often turn on a Places filter after an action. I am still trying to get used to how Places works, after adding GPS info from an AMOD logger to about 7000 images shot in Argentina. Sometimes I thought Aperture was broken, only to find that I was not using the new (but poorly documented) feature correctly.

Why is using Places in iPhoto 11 such a hairy hassle?

Here is the feedback that I just sent to Apple:
"Why is defining a place such a hassle? Don't bother telling me the steps -- I know them too well. Tell me why, when I select a photo, type something in the teeny-weeny Assign a Place... dialog, then select one of the suggestions, what happens next depends on whether the selected suggestion is a custom place or one that Google found? Tell me why, if it's the former and I move the pin around and assign it a new name, I effectively modify the place, just as if I were working in Manage my Places, whereas if it's the latter, I define a new custom place? Tell me why, if the custom place that I define happens to overlap other custom places, the photos assigned to them will be reassigned to the new custom place? Tell me why I can't adjust the radius of the place in the teeny-weeny Assign a Place... dialog to prevent that from happening ... by the time I do that in Manage my Places it's too late! Tell me why, with every new version of iPhoto 11 the usability of Places just gets worse?"
Of course, I don't expect Apple to answer, but I would appreciate any hints for solving, or, at least, avoid the problems described above. They weren't problems in the previous major version of iPhoto.
The latest patch, 9.1.3, seems to have brought new Places problems. I assigned a photo to Martinskirchplatz in Basel. It wasn't in My Places, so it's a place that iPhoto found through Google. Naturally, it overlapped other custom places nearby: Rheinsprung, Alte Universität von Basel, Basler Rathaus. So, after adjusting the radius of Martinskirchplatz in Manage my Places to avoid overlapping them, I switched to the Places view and selected Martinskirchplatz to see all the photos that really belonged to the overlapped places but had been reassigned, and painfully assigned them back to the correct places. Then I found a photo that I had originally assigned to Rheinsprung and reassigned it to Martinskirchplatz, since that's exactly where I had taken it. When I exited Places, re-entered and selected Martinskirchplatz, only the photo for which I had defined that place was there, not the one that I had reassigned to it. No matter what I did, I could not convince iPhoto to show me both photos for that place, despite the fact that, in the Info displays for both the place was correct, and it only appears once in Manage my Places. So I decided to repair and rebuild the library, and iPhoto decided to surprise me by only retaining the places for photos taken with the iPhone (presumably because they contain the GPS coordinates). WHO UNDERSTANDS THAT Rebuild Library from backup MEANS THAT CUSTOM PLACES WILL BE LOST? Just what kind of backup is it that doesn't backup the places?

Richard

The problem with Places is not the development, but the design, so learning how to develop (I presume you mean program) an application isn't going bring you any closer to understanding why Places doesn't "work." In fact, Apple's refusal to address the problem of overlapping custom places indicates that this is the way it's supposed to work, but Apple provides no explanation about the underlying model, i.e., how we're supposed to think about custom places.
As nearly as I can tell, custom places are supposed to provide GPS coordinates for photos that don't already have them, or have them wrong. Look at what happens when you import a photo from, say, the iPhone. Provided you haven't switched off the Location facility, the photo has GPS coordinates. And, providing you haven't switched off the option in iPhoto to place photos, iPhoto will look up the coordinates in Google Maps and get the most precise name it can. Apple's solution to the problem of photos which don't have GPS coordinates should have been, allow the user to supply them.
Now, there's a second problem with geo-tagged photos, regardless whether they were automatically or manually tagged. Sometimes we would like to provide a more precise area than Google Maps. For example, Google Maps might supply just the city Basel for photos taken anywhere in Basel, whereas we might want to distinguish various areas in Basel. This, too, has an easy solution. Allow the user to define closed polygons, circles, etc. which constitute a level of detail finer than the finest level that Google Maps supplies. So what if the custom areas overlap? No problem. The photos have coordinates, so if the coordinates of a photo put it in multiple areas, that's OK.
So far, so good. For each problem we have an independent solution. Now, there's a third problem that's specific to manual geo-tagging. Maybe I don't remember or don't care where exactly on the Marktplatz in Basel I took a photo. Why should I have to assign it to a point? Here is where Apple apparently got too clever for its own good. Instead of supplying a separate solution to this problem as well (e.g., by introducing the concept of an area of uncertainty around a point, or by providing a facility to assign a photo the same coordinates as another), we now have what amounts to one solution for two problems: when you think you're defining a custom place, you're really defining a circular area and assigning the photo the coordinates of the center of the circle. So, what's so bad about that? First, the process of defining a new place never makes it clear that it's actually an area that is being defined. Second, even if you're aware of this, you cannot specify the size of the area at the same time that you define it, so there's no way to prevent it from overlapping other places that you've defined. And what is the problem with overlapping? Since the photos are not attached to the areas to which you assign them, but only derive their implicit coordinates from the assignment. Now, anybody could understand that, if two areas overlap sufficiently, in particular, if one overlaps the center of the the other, then the photos assigned to the two places might be displayed when the large place is viewed. But, for some strange reason, reducing the overlap in Manage My Places, or eliminating it altogether, doesn't rectify the problem. Instead you must reassign the "victim" photos of overlap.
The lesson here is: Good design means a single solution to a single problem. Three problems? Three independent solutions! This allows the user to do just what he wants, and to understand what he is doing. Don't want to define an area? Fine. Just assign a coordinate to a photo. Don't want to assign a coordinate, because that would imply precision, or because you don't recall exactly where? Fine. Just define an area of uncertainty and assign the photo to it. As you and/or your needs develop, you can do more sophisticated things with three solutions than with a single one, and you still understand what you're doing.
Somehow I don't believe that Apple doesn't know all this. I could imagine this is an attempt to "simplify" the UI in preparation for supporting a touch interface like that promised for Lion. Unfortunately, the price for reducing three separate operations to a single one is semantic overload and an opaque underlying model.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear.

Why doesn't flash player stay installed and why does the saved file disappear. I have downloaded and installed flash player several times on my Win7 Vaio laptop. I have uninstalled and deleted all versions. I am the administrator and I have also turned off my Security Software, but the same thing keeps happening over and over. The Java Script is enabled and I have tried both downloading via IE and firefox. It is rediculous that it keeps disappearing and I keep getting messages that the newest version is needed. I am downloading directly from adobe and they say it is the latest. Getting very frustrated. They ask if we have any problems when we go to the finish line, but there is no place for comments. I guess they don't really care if it works or not.

So is it actually installed, or is it not? If not, download and run the offline installers:
Flash Player for ActiveX (Internet Explorer)
Flash Player Plug-in (All other browsers)
If it still does not work correctly, check

In Firefox also check if the Shockwave Flash plugin is enabled.

Why can't I pin bookmark as apps ?

I can see the new feature is amazing - pin tab as apps but unfortunately one of the key thing i love about firefox is the ability to clear history and everything when i exit firefox. If I select this, then the pinned apps disappear according to forum posts and my own experience (using firefox 4 now).
But seeing as my bookmarks don't disappear when i exit firefox, why can't I pin bookmarks as apps then? It would be similar in function only difference would be it would not save my session/passwords etc which is what I want.
Any idea or is this feature already available?

This used to work before I updated to Firefox 9.1.0. This is so aggravating!!
I still have 4 pinned websites from before the update but now I cannot Pin anymore!!
I can remove them, I just can't add more!!!!!!!!!
Why do developers ALWAYS have to go an f*** with things that work just fine???

Why does my leading zero disappear

I have created a 4 number field. Why does my leading zero disappear when moving onto the next field. How can I correct this?
Thanks.

The definition for a field formatted with the "Number" format is to hide the leading zeros.
Have you tried to access the value of the field in JavaScript using the "valueAsString" property and have the field use a format of "None"?
This is how the SSN and U.S. Postal Zip Codes need to be handled to display the leading zeros.

I noticed you have ''Freeze (dot) com Net Assistant'' installed. This is considered by most security software to be malware since it changes your user preferences and feeds you ads. See http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.freeze.com
Also, this Wikipedia article contains some info about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W3i#History
You should be able to remove it by going to Add-ons, then Extensions. If it's not there, then the free edition of Malwarebytes from http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free should be able to get rid of it for you.
There are some screenshots of how you probably got it on your system here: http://www.emsisoft.com/en/malware/?Adware.Win32.Freeze.com+Toolbar
(no need to purchase the software to remove it because as mentioned already, Malwarebytes should be able to get rid of it for you).

Apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. why is this?

Firstly, I really like the new reminders in iOS 7. However, I noticed that apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
why is this? am i doing something from?

unfortunately, that does not address my question. your link describes how to clear the missed section of center. I know how to clear the missed section of notification center, as I said in the original question. I will re-peat my question to clarify. it is:
apple reminders do not disappear from "all" and "missed" view when dismissed from "today" view of notification center by marking the circle by the reminder. it requires me to take an extra step and click on "all" and then click the "x" to make it completely disappear and clear from notification center.
why is this? am i doing something wrong?
the behavior I would expect would be that when i click the circle on the "today" view. it would clear it out from the missed and all view so i would not have to clear in 2 areas.
I Hope this clarifies...

Why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre?

I've only noticed this since upgrading to iOS 7.1 and I can't find any answers anywhere on the Internet. As the title states: why do my messages keep disappearing from Notification Centre? Usually after an hour or two. The badge on the app icon will stay and if I get another message, the new one shows up in Notification Centre, again just for a while.

Salvizuno -
did you ever solve this problem? i just upgraded to the 5s and my notifications disappear... and it is very frustrating. i have called apple support, gone to the apple store, swapped out my phone but with no luck... can you advise if and how you fixed the problem please?
thanks!

Why is my MANDATORY PIN constantly taken off my account? Who is doing this?

I set a mandatory -- MANDATORY -- pin on my account three times over the past two years. I HAVE BEENASKED for my pin for a few times afterward, which I have and was glad to be asked. It shows someone is doing his/her job.
But always ALWAYS this pin "gets taken off" and nobody knows why.
Once, one person said "oh the notes on here say to remove the pin"
I was livid.
Not from me.
Has anyone had this happen?
I have noted over the month of March, a lot of problems with my notebook.
It seems to me, a lot of stuff that only someone getting into my account coulddo. This is why IHAVE A MANDATORY PIN. THAT MEANS, ALWAYS, NOT JUST WHEN I FEEL LIKE IT.
I noted it to the lastest tech I spoke to today, and he put it back on, could not explain why it was taken off or when .
I am soooooooooooo tired of Verizon being like this.
I think I pay too much for what I get, I also deserve privacy and IF I PUT A PIN ON MY ACCOUNT, IT BLOODY WELL BETTER STAY THERE.
And when I come online, the tech said there is a "contact us" hyperlink on the page you should be able to send a complaint.. I told him I have been clicking that "contact us" link over and over nad over and the only think that happens is I get a big gray box that says,"changes to fios tv and something about my set top box"
I think the nasty chat person I had -(oh, life chat is now no longer available, gee) is doing this so I won't make a well deserved complaint.
I am paying too much money to 1) have my mandatory pin get taken off at the whim of someone who may or may not work here because Verizon is not affording me appropriate secuirty and 2) lousy service when you can't access a link it just goes in circles. I clicked on that fios gray box and it did not go away, it just routed me back. THIS IS DELIBERAT TO BLOCK PEOPLE.
So by now, I'm irate.
I put a mandatory pin for a **bleep** good reason. I had a burglary in Jan. 2012 and every bit of personal info was taken.
Off and on I've seen my account with changes -- someone in my sub account made it so you could log ina nd watchg tv
i could just scream
qand these people at verizon want more and more and more money and provide NO SECURITY ON THE ONE THING THAT IS SUPPOSED TO HELP KEEP ME SECURE.
I AM GOING TO WRITE THEM IN NEW YORK, AND DO WHATEVER ELSE I CAN BECAUSE I'VE HAD IT.
i ask everyone, put a pin on and see how long it lasts.
If you have had a mandatory pin taken off without your doing it? I'd love to know.
