Why is aperture crashing on my iMAC after Ram upgrade?

I have recently upgraded the Ram on my Apple iMac and everything seems to be working fine except Aperture, which keeps crashing. Should I reinstall it? If so how? It is showing as installed on my purchases and the box is greyed out.

Should I reinstall it? If so how?
Before reinstalling, check, if it is a system wide issue and try to narrow down the problem.
Is Aperture still crashing, if you are creating a new Aperture library and import a few test images?
Is Aperture still crashing, if you are launching it with the Shift key held down?
Is Aperture still crashing, when working from a different user account?
If Aperture is working fine in any of these situations, the problem is with your Aperture library or settings /installations in your user account, and reinstalling Aperure should not be necessary.
Then post back please with your test results, and also your Aperture version number and how you bought Aperture, from the Mac App Store or a boxed Retail version?

I am experiencing difficulties opening some web-based PDF files on my iPad. I was having the same difficulty opening the same PDFs on my iMac (after I upgrade to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in settings.

I am experiencing difficulty opening some web-based PDF documents on my iPad. I had exactly the same difficulty on my iMac (after I upgraded to Yosemite) but was able to overcome it by adjusting the Adobe Reader plug-in security settings in Safari (in OSX).
Unfortunately there does not seem to be a way to similarity adjust the security settings in Safari in iOS 8.
The message I get when I attempt to open the PDF (on my iPad) is as follows:
            "To view the full contents of this document you need a later version of PDF viewer. You can upgrade to the latest version of Adobe Reader from ..."
Needless to say this is unhelpful for two reasons:
- I have the very latest version of Adobe Reader; and
- in iOS Adobe Reader is not a plug-in and plays absolutely no role in opening web-based PDF documents.
If anyone has experienced this difficulty and has been able to overcome it I would be most appreciative to hear of you solution.

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

Why is Time machine backup not working after Mavericks upgrade?

I had the same problem due to the Fire Wire port. Apple tested it told me it is OK!, I tried a new cable, and have tested both ports on my back up device. I find it strange that as soon as I installed Mavericks. The drive does work using USB. It could be a coincidence, I don't absolutely know at this point, my back up drive ports could stop working, but I doubt it!

Why does Aperture crash when importing modified image into Photoshop CS2?

I have been using Aperture 2.1.4 for the past 2 years and really like the interface. But, I've had one nagging problem: I begin by scanning all of my slides with the Nikon Coolscan 4000 and save them as large tiff files @ approx. 55mb each. I then import each slide with a custom color profile into Aperture. I then optimize the image including white balance, levels, and color adjustments. When I want to make additional changes that I'm not able to do in Aperture, I attempt to send the image to Photoshop CS2 for further processing. But, at this point, Aperture crashes. After this, I get a message saying "do you want to re-open Aperture or quit?" Additionally, I often get the message "Aperture has applied new settings. Do want to keep these new settings or use the original settings?" Since I don't know what will happen if I choose "use the new settings," I always select "keep the original settings." And, when I open Aperture again and try, again, to send the image to Photoshop CS2 to edit, Aperture crashes again. Has anyone had the same or similar problem who can give me some ideas of how to solve this issue! Thanks.

Welcome to the forums!
It sounds like there may be a permissions issue between the two apps, Aperture using one and PS another.
1. Are you logged in as an administrator?
You need to be.
2. Where is your library stored, is it in the picture folder of your user directory?
If so moving it in to the general area of your MacHD may help get over some of these issues.
3. Have you run any of the Ap First Aid steps? Have a read of this page;
Ap2
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2945
Ap3
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3805
4. Is it possible that the upgrade to Ap3 would get you around the need to jump into PS?
Start with these ones and then come back letting us know how you go.

Aperture crashes every time now after editing "Custom Field"

I was trying to edit my Custom Fields to get around the annoying inability to edit EXIF camera data (my photos are film and were scanned 15 years ago without EXIF data); this seems to have somehow created a Custom Field with name = blank. " " and now whenever I reference the custom fields Aperture crashes; when I restart it it tells me it's "rebuilding the database" and it takes a good while.
I am not 100% the blank custom field is the cause.

crash reporter sez:
Application Specific Information:

Premiere Pro CS6 crashing after RAM upgrade

I just got Premiere Pro almost a week ago after using FCP for years. I was just getting accustomed to it and thought I would upgrade my RAM to help Dynamic Link run smoother. I doubled it from 4 GB to 8 GB today and now Premiere Pro crashes either immediately or after about 20 minutes. My computer is a 2009 Macbook Pro 2.4 GHz. The new ram is from OWC.com. I ran a RAM test in Tech Tools and it passed as having no problems. Can anyone suggest anything? I would hate to have to go back to 4 GB and be limited to that.

UPDATE:
This problem is not fixed at all. I went about 2 hours without a crash then had about 5 of them in a row. I have been reading everywhere trying to find a place to start. A full system rebuild and reinstall would take me a day or 2 that I don't have. The crashes happen any time, sometimes at startup, sometimes when I'm editing, sometimes when I am not doing anything. I get the "serious error" message and sometimes just get a "quit unexpectedly" along with this log:

Ipod wont connect to imac after i upgraded to OS 10.6.8

my one Ipod touch ( 4th Gen) will not connect to my imac, noticed this happened after i upgraded to snow leopard OS 10.6.8, my other ipod nano works fine and is seen in my finder and in Itunes, the Ipod touch does work on my PC laptop with no problems but my library is on my Imac so it doesnt help me.
I went through the entire diagnostic that apple support gave me, but no luck.

So you tried everything here?

Mainstage always crashes before even start after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I use 32bit or 64bit mode. What to do? I bought Logic Studio 9 as a hard box at a retail store (including Logic Pro 9, Mainstage, Soundtrack Pro, Compresso

Mainstage always crashes after I upgraded to OSX Mountain Lion. Doesn't matter if I choose 32bit or 64bit mode. I sent all the error reports to Apple but no help from there. I heard rumours that Mountain Lion creates the problem. With Lion I had no problem. Logic Pro runs without issues. So what can I do now? Do I have to reinstall Logic Studio and then download all the updates again? Hopefully not.. Any advice? Thanks to all! Ben

Try delete the mainstage preferences
from USER/library/preferences com.apple.mainstage.plist
even if you are running mainstage 2.1.3 and not 2.2.2 it should work with mountain lion

OT: Dreamweaver quits after ram upgrade

Anyone had this senario before. I upgraded ram from 1gb to
2gb and now
MX04 just keeps quiting on start up, lol.
I haven't done a complete reinstall of the software yet but
any ideas
why this should be happening?
All other software, Photoshop, Illustrator, Quark, InDesign
appear at
the moment to be uneffected.
Iz a weird, weird world.
Humm I was intending to upgrade to CS4 but I'm awaiting the
trial
version first.
Oh well I guess I go back to other computer for the moment.

Hi Alan I have the issue with MX04 so I don't think below
applies,
according to this line:
'The crashes do not occur in Dreamweaver 8 or earlier (Ref.
229536).'
Problem just started after I upgraded the ram from 1gb to
2gb, which
seems odd, but hey I expect anything these days. Some file
within DW I
think may have been affected by the time/date because on
reboot I had a
warning that the computers clock/date was set to March 2001
and may
interfere with some software, even weirder as I only
purchased the
computer last year, so why the clock should go back to 2001 I
don't know.
I'll try a complete reinstall and see if that clears it up,
overwrite
the corrupt file hopefully. It doesn't matter much to be
honest I was on
the verge of upgrading so I can live with it for now.
Thanks for your input.

Mac mini won't boot after RAM upgrade.

Tried installing new RAM in my Mac Mini, 512MB stock to 2GB of Crucial. Followed the directions to a T, grounded myself the whole time.
Things I've tried so far:
1. Resetting the PRAM, no luck.
2. Holding option at start-up, shows no icon.
3. Holding shift, no luck.
4. Holding X, nothing.
How do I get it to accept a CD if it won't boot?

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You clearly have a problem, but you don't describe exactly what that is other than that your mini won't boot after the upgrade. What happens when it starts up? Does it attempt to start and hang up on the grey or blue screens, or does it start beeping at you almost immediately after you try and start it up, and also flash the power light?
If the former, then you may have dislodged a connector while working inside the system, in which case opening it up and checking that everything is firmly connected would be the first thing to do. If the latter, then the beeping/light flashing is the system telling you it has failed the power-on self test and the pattern of beeps/lights indicates why. In your case likely the system can't find workable memory. In that instance, opening the system and ensuring that the RAM is firmly and fully seated would be a good step, and if the mini continues to fail, then replacing the new RAM with the original to test that the system will then start.
It is not likely that anything had damaged your MacOS install in the process of upgrading, thus normally no reason to need to boot to CD as a result of a RAM issue.

Unstable Mac Mini 2011 after ram upgrade

I put in 8GB kit ram from Corsair. Every specific things is matching with Apple's requirement on ram upgrade. I got Corsair 8GB KIT DDR3 SO-DIMM, 1333Mhz. The first boot with the new ram was fine but after 10 minutes of normal using (Safari, Spotify) and testing open Photoshop CS5 it crashed.
I shut down the system and tried to take off the rams the put it in again just to make sure that they're there perfectly. Second boot, everythings seems work well but after a while, maybe 20 minutes, Safari crashed and a "crash log" is sending to Apple. Happened the same with Spotify, Photoshop when it was open. I couldn't reopen the programs so I did another reboot.
The third reboot, seems fine until 1h30min the whole system crashed, the computer is rebooting by itself and showing a message of "something is wrong with the system" so it needed a reboot.
And Safari crashed once again while I wrote this.
I hope someone can help me solve the problem. I'm running the lastest version of Lion Mountain (10.8.2), 2.5Ghz i5 mid 2011 Mac mini.

I have used Corsair RAMs on multiple Macs with
a lot of success (running a 16 gig on a 2011 Mini Server
I am currently typing this on). It may just be you got a bad
one. It happens. Depending on where you purchased
it should be no issue replacing.
You should check though to see which is bad. Put
both of the old RAM in to make sure things still work
as before. It is possible something else may be wrong.
If all is well, then swap out with one new module at a
time and see how it works. It may be just one module
(most likely).

Video will not play on Canvas or NTSC after RAM upgrade

editing on a G5 v. 10.4.11, Dual 1.8 Ghz G5 with a recent upgrade to 4GB of ram. Have an AJA IO LA
After the RAM upgrade, FCP timeline will play but video is black in the canvas and image is frozen on the NTSC. Video WILL play in Viewer but no audio.
All cables have been checked to make sure they were put back correctly - will keep checking for errors in re-cabling computer.
Have tried refreshing displays and other tests with displays. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

pull the ram, problem goes away? - bad ram
you can pull 2 sticks at a time to isolate which chip it is.
did you get it from a good source - Crucial.com is my favorite, OWC is popular too - both have lifetime warranty
