Why doesn't aperture quit?

For some reason, lately the application will not quit.  I use Command Q.  It updates its previews like it always does, but then it just doesn't quit.  Why?  I am using Aperture 2.1.4.  I have 2GB of memory.

It's hard to tell, with so little to go on
Sometimes the problem is a single corrupted image or video: you might try to remove your last import.
Or your library structure is corrupted, and you need to repair or rebuild your library. Have you tried the trouble shooting basics?

  • Why doesn't Aperture 3 recognise RAW files from my Fuji F550EXR?

    I have just bought a Fujifilm F550EXR, partly because of it's RAW capabilities. I am an existing Aperture 3 user (Canon 5D Mk II) and have found it very good at working with the RAW files from that SLR. After shooting some test shots with the F550EXR, I now find that Aperture 3 doesn't recognise them. Surely Fuji's RAW file format has been around long enough for Apple to incorporate it into it's RAW converter. Why doesn't Apple support Fuji RAW files?

    Hi all,
    the problem still exists..
    Aperture still does not support this RAF (I recently bought a Fujifilm F550EXR)
    Others do..
    I've just tested Adobe Lightroom, works great
      with both, Fuji-RAF and NEF format (of my Nikon D80)
    even free picture software does support this Fuji-RAW format
    - e.g. "rawker", http://raifra.fh-friedberg.de/Mac/index-en.html
    so its hard for me to understand, that the missing cooperation between Fujifilm and Apple is the problem.
    I think, Apple regards it as too much effort to implement this format for (in relation) so few cameras..
    Aperture 2 had no backup function for some month, and Apple did not care ..
    (too much effort, too?)

  • Why doesn't Aperture use iPhoto's date logic?

    This is how image date logic works in iPhoto. This image date value is used in queries and sorts.
    1. Image date is stored in database.
    2. Initial value taken from image metadata if available.
    3. If image metadata not available, use file date.
    4. User can edit database date (does not change file header).
    This is how it seems to work in Aperture 1.5
    1. Image date is stored in database.
    2. Initial value taken from iPhoto database if import from iPhoto.
    3. If not import from iPhoto, initial value taken from image metadata if available.
    4. If image metadata not available, use file date.
    5. User CANNOT edit database date.
    I was shocked (really, I'm still stunned) that Aperture 1.5 still does not equal iPhoto's date management capabilities. Since Aperture is a Pro application it's reasonable to have several date fields, but one of them should behave like iPhoto. That metadata field should be useable in queries/filters, sorts, display, book printing, etc. It should be the default date metadata element for all date related operations.
    Please note, it's fine that Aperture does not muck with image file (exif) metadata -- that's dangerous. EXIF is a quasi-standard badly implemented.
    So now, my question. Why?
    Aperture 1.5 was a huge update. They fixed much more than I thought was possible. It could have been labeled Aperture 3.0. Offering it free to users was a genuine apology, gratefully accepted I'm sure. It took all my strength of will not to order it immediately, waiting instead for the initial reviews to come in.
    So there had to be a reason Aperture's Product Manager, Joe Schorr, had not to implement iPhoto's image date behavior. Something he'd thought carefully about.
    What was it?

    Perhaps it's just that they don't have infinite resources ?
    The big deal (for me) was that they can "import" files but leave them on the filesystem. In true Apple fashion though, they took the extra steps of allowing management of the images within the application (consolidate and relocate). Perhaps the knock-on effects of all the things they did implement prevented them from doing other things...
    We see Apple as a corporate entity, master of its domain, all-seeing, all-knowing, all-powerful within the confines of an Infinite Loop. In reality it's a bunch of people who only have a fixed number of hours in the day to work. Someone takes the decision that X is more important than Y and Y is dropped for this release - it's that simple IMHO.
    In any event, I'd like to know how many people worked on Aperture 1.5 - the difference between the Aperture update and the Lightroom update was huge! Do they have lots more engineers/QA, or did they just get more done in the same time-frame ?

  • Why doesn't Aperture rembmer thumbnail size when turning on/off viewer?

    I noticed that when I turn on/off the viewer by pressing V, the thumbnail in the browser will go back to the smallest size. Do I have a corrupted preference file or something like that?
    Am I the only one experiencing this annoying behavior?
    Thanks for any input.
    Chris

    Thanks for these suggestions.
    I have added the sites to the trusted sites in IE and that didn't help.
    Things are a bit more complicated with the global security settings of the flash player. When I click your link, I see the note (Note: The Settings Manager that you see above is not an image; it is the actual Settings Manager itself.), but no settings manager, so I cannot click any tabs. I can rightclick to go to global settings, but I can find no global security settings. A complicating factor is that I'm located in Poland and even though the installer correctly notes that I'm running an English language Windows system, it will only install flash player in Polish - and translations are usually not so good. So I have an "advanced" tab in the settings manager and I added my secure sites to the trusted sites, even though it says this is for programmers only. Anyway - this didn't help either.
    Please help, as this problem has cut me off from my bank account!

    Without more information, speculation is a waste of time.  At the least tell us what you do, what the results are, and how that result differs from your expectation.  Then tell us what steps you have taken to resolve the issue, and what the results of taking those steps was.

  • Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?

    Why doesn't the "Command Number" keyboard shortcut apply the colored label to the selected image?  The similar keyboard shortcut to assign stars works, but the shortcut to assign a label color doesn't?

    Just to be sure they haven;t been reassigned in your Aperture go to Aperture->Commands->Customize then in the search box in the upper right hand corner enter color.
    You should see the keyboard shortcuts and the corresponding add label commands.
    If they are set then quit Aperture move you preference file to the desktop and restart Aperture. The instructions for moving the preference file can be found at Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics
    Post back the results

  • Why doesn't my front camera work

    Why doesn't my front camera work

    Camera
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Why doesn't my dku-5 usb cable work anymore with n...

    I have a Nokia 6100 and have used a cable DKU-5 problem free for 4 years
    Sychronized my phone as per normal yesterday.
    On quitting PC Suite, it informs me that a software update is available, so I press okay.
    Now I appareently need a new cable CA-42
    Why doesn't the DKU-5 work anymore????Message Edited by sabhop on 11-Dec-200701:08 PM

    I'm having the same issues.  I am using the iPhone 3 version 4.3.3 and I am trying to play movies on my TV that I purchased from iTunes using the Apple composite cable attached to my iPhone.  There is sound but no video.  You can see the movie playing on the iPhone but the movie does not play on the tv.  However, if I go into music videos under my iPod icon on the iPhone, those do play on the TV with sound and picture.
    When you download a movie from iTunes and save it to your iPhone, does it not already save it in videos?  I have them under my iPod icon on my iPhone and then I click videos to view.  Music videos, TV shows and movies are all in the videos tab under the iPod icon.

  • Why does a program quit unexpectedly?

    I haven't had any problems with programs closing unexpectedly on my week 32 MacBook yet, but just now my Mozilla Firefox quit unexpectedly. What makes it do that?
    Also, I hate asking this, but is it a sign of worse things to come? I just had a speaker problem today (suddenly going mute) and these two problems I also had on my week 22 MacBook that was a total lemon and resulted in me getting this one as a replacement.
    I'm nervous. I'm in school and I can't even imagine having to go through the MacBook repair process again.
    Advice?

    There are a multitude of reasons why an application might quit unexpectedly. It could be the app, the OS, hardware, other software, anything. It's wholly impossible (without seeing a crash log) to answer this.
    The way I see a potential repair while you're in school is that you have two choices:
    1) (Try to) Use the machine that doesn't work well, if at all, and complain the entire time, run the risk of losing data or, in fact, the machine entirely - leaving you up that one creek that rhymes with "hit".
    or
    2) If/when a repair is needed, just suck it up and send it in and go to a computer lab for a week or so, use a roommate or friend's machine.
    Either way, you're going to be without it for a spell.

  • Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

    Why must I force quit (double press home and slide off) Mail on both my iPad and iPhone in order to have Mail access on my iMac on the same wifi network. Fetch is set to manual and my ISP is Charter.

    I don't know about the "3" but it's a POP account. I've always suspected that Charter isn't letting go using their mobile apps for iOS. Puzzling that it doesn't block the other way. That is if Mail is open on the iMac it doesn't block access to Mail on either the iPad or iPhone. I'm guessing it's their mobile apps that are the problem but they won't admit it to me.

  • Aperture quits at startup after OS 10.6.4 update

    Aperture 3.0.3 Mac OS 10.6.4 on MacBook Pro. After clicking to start, the opening window comes up, when I close it, the application quits. Anything I click makes Aperture quit. I am at the end of my rope here. Any advice would be welcomed. All other apps work fine. I tried stating in safe mode, but Aperture reports graphic card is not compatible (I am certain this is due to lack of drivers).

    I'd say delete (actually, rename) the Aperture preferences file (~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Aperture.plist) file and restarting, and seeing whether that fixes the problem.
    If not, then start Aperture with the option and command keys held down and first try repair permissions, and see if that works. If not, try repair database. If that doesn't work try rebuild database.
    I've been using Aperture on 10.6.4 for about a month with no issues so something is borked with your setup, I just don't know what it is. These steps will resolve about 95% of issues.

  • Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked in the apple update menu and at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking f.ud?

    Hey. I have recently made an update on my daughters iMac, particularly the update OS X 10.9.4, when finished, its still asking for update and the same update stills remarked as ready in the apple update menu and remarked as 1 to go at the App store app. Why doesn't stop asking for update when its done like 5 times or more? Thanks for taking your time!

    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS.* You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    If you use FileVault 2, then before running the Installer you must launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the FileVault startup volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name.) It will be nested below another icon with the same name. Click the Unlock button in the toolbar and enter your login password when prompted. Then quit Disk Utility to be returned to the main Recovery screen.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode. All other data will be preserved.
    *The linked support article refers to OS X 10.9 ("Mavericks"), but the procedure is the same for OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later.

  • Why doesn't my macbook support ny camera Sony DSC-WX300 as it used to?

    why doesn't my macbook support ny camera Sony DSC-WX300 as it used to? I can't download any of my pictures or videos

    Were you importing them into Aperture or IPHOTO - or were you using Sony Software?
    I have A Kodak Easy Share - when I purchased a new mac - did not install the Kodak software - just switched to using IPHOTO to do the import.
    -- Reason I stopped using the software - it was easier to export all of the photos I chose to keep out of Iphoto onto desktop for Photoshop editing and filing.

  • After 5 Releases, Why Doesn't Mozilla Care About Memory Leaks?

    I'm baffled as to why this is still a problem. After a few hours of use, my memory usage while using Firefox 5.0 is at 1.5GB. I've followed every FAQ, disabled every extension, done everything to stop the memory leaks when using this browser and I'm growing very tired.
    I have a Core i7 MacBook Pro with 4GB RAM and Firefox still manages to bring it to it knees. I've been a devoted Firefox user since 2002-3 and I've just about lost my faith in this browser.
    Chrome is a featureless, ugly, dinky browser that I hate to use, but it leaves Firefox in its dust performance-wise. Where is the happy medium? I don't get it.
    My favorite answer is always, "disable your extensions." Here are the problems with that:
    1. Without extensions, Firefox is nothing. I might as well use Chrome.
    2. It never seems to help, and when it does a little, it is difficult to figure out which extensions are doing the most damage. Why doesn't Firefox provide a way to look at which extensions are using the most memory?
    3. Firefox should lay that smack down on extensions that could potentially leak memory, and yet, nothing. It should at least steal memory back when it gets out of control, regardless of what extension is using it.
    4. Mozilla recommends some extensions that are supposed to help reduce memory usage, but none of them work on OS X.
    I'm exhausted. I shouldn't have to restart my browser a million times day to get anything done. Where are the real solutions? How do years go by with problems like this still getting worse? Firefox 5 was supposed to be better at handling memory, but it's only gotten worse for me.
    When will the madness end? We don't want new features, we want performance! I've always loved this browser, but is it really a surprise that Chrome is taking over?
    To sum it up, if your browser is slower than Internet Explorer, you need to hurry up and fix the problem or pack it up and go home.

    My sentiments exactly!! I have all the exact same complaints and concerns, and I've also tried the solutions provided at no avail.
    This the only beef I have with FireFox, but it's a bad one and I've been shopping around for a better browser. Chrome is the best alternative I've found, but it still isn't quite at parity yet.
    Please fix this issue or at least make an attempt at it to let your users know it's somewhat of a future priority.
    Attached a screen shot of memory usage after 1 hour, and this is the new FF 5 update.
