Would someone please offer advice on my Vault problem?

I am reposting this earlier plea for help:
I recently purchased a 1TB LaCie external HD to accommodate my growing Library. Aperture accepted it as a Vault and 315GB were successfully transferred to the Vault. Today I tried backup to the Vault, but Aperture keeps telling me that no vault is connected. The Finder recognizes the Vault: I checked to ensure that it is unlocked. I quit and restarted Aperture. I shut down and rebooted the Mac Pro Quad.
But Aperture refuses to recognize the Vault.
I would be grateful for any suggestions.
Mac Pro Quad-Core Intel Xeon Mac OS X (10.6.3)

Susan, one thing you mentioned that makes me wonder if it's related: you said the Vault was unlocked. It should normally be locked by Aperture. Did you unlock it in the Finder?
I suppose the Update Vault Path option is greyed out in the Vault panel in Aperture (click on the gear icon to reveal). If it is not greyed out you may only need to reset the path to the Vault on the LaCie drive.
How is your LaCie drive formatted? It should be partitioned as GPT (GUID Partition Table) and formatted HFS+ (Mac OS Extended Journaled).
Two possible but improbable solutions suggested on other threads:
1) You may have a problem with the Aperture Library, not the Vault. I assume you are running Aperture version 3.0.2 when you did the original Vault creation. Quit Aperture. Restart while holding down the OPTION and COMMAND keys. You'll be presented with a panel - select Repair Database (or one of the other options perhaps may do the trick). After your database is repaired, try to update the Vault.
2) Reinstall or update the driver for the LaCie drive.
Post back your results.

    Thanks

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.

    The action menu can be restored by, in the Finder, selecting under View menu "Customize Toolbar ...". There you will see options to put the action menu (wheel) back on your toolbar.

  • How can I keep my apps to stay on my phone everytime I have to backup instead of having to restore them everytime theres an update? Also, would someone PLEASE explain iCloud to me! I have yet to have it work out!!

    I purchased the 4S for my husband and I. After having the phone sit in the box for 2 weeks, I finally decided to have it activated. Once it was activated the person I spoke with on the phone de-activated my 3GS without even telling me to back up! So here I am with out having anything backed up to itunes or icloud and this person, has no clue about what shes telling me to do! 3 hours and 2 different people later, I find that I have to sync my 3GS to itunes to back it up there and re-store it to my 4S because no one I spoke with on the phone had no clue as to why the progress bar when backing up on iCloud through my phone didnt move after like 10 mins.
    Can someone please help me understand what is being done wrong?
    Let me also add in that everytime there is an update, I have to manually put all 160 apps from my itunes on my laptop back to my iphone!! This so frustrating!
    Yes, I have gone to the Apple store and have had a one on one course with someone at the "genius bar" and they all say the same, "once we back it up to your icloud, you will never have to sync your phone with itunes again, you will be able to do this wirelessly"
    I have yet to have that happen
    Please help!

    So what I've done was delete all existing apps in my new Macbook and transferred all apps from my old PC to the new one. It was successful...until I try to sync it. This message comes up:
    This computer is no longer authorized for apps that are installed on the iPod “Lauren”. Would you like to authorize this computer for items purchased from the iTunes Store?
    If you do not authorize this computer, 137 apps, including “...™”, and their data will be deleted from this iPod.
    So I have all apps on my iPod and my Macbook. Only problem is the Macbook cannot be authorized so whenever I try to sync them, it "threatens" to delete all "unauthorized" apps from my iPod.
    Oh, and if I continue, I'm guessing those apps and their would really be gone from my iPod, but will they stay on my Macbook and sync the next time I try to sync them? Though if that works I still bet I will lose all data from my apps...

    I don't know of any msi file. The only downloads I know exist are in the download archive:
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javasebusiness/downloads/java-archive-downloads-javase6-419409.html#jre-6u21-b07-oth-JPR
    A quick google seems to indicate that the msi file exists on the filesystem after you install the runtime once.

  • I'm getting the run-around. Can someone please help me with a rebate problem?

    I purchased a Samsung W/D from Best Buy with the free vacuum offer. It was delivered and I submitted my rebate request. The submission page said to wait 6 to 8 weeks for processing. I waited 8 weeks and then became concerned. When I called the rebate center they said they had no record of my submission. Obviously, the online process failed. I understand technology doesn't always work, but the operator and manager told me I would now not be able to get my rebate and only offered a mailing address to complain. I am EXTREMELY frustrated. First, because the only reason I purchased these units was for the rebate and now I cannot return them to Best Buy because of the time elapsed. Second, if I was aware that there was a problem with the submission I would have been able to fix the situation. The website said all was OK, and all the information said to wait 6-8 weeks. Why would I have checked in before that time? Now I'm told I'm too late to fix it??? All I want is the vacuum cleaner I was promised when I purchased the W/D. Can someone please help me?

    Hello ChadMelton,
    I have a hard time passing up offers for free products, so I understand how such an offer could influence your decision to buy. I'm wholly disappointed to read, though, that your rebate experience didn't go smoothly and that the manufacturer seems to have been less than cooperative. I would be frustrated too under such circumstances!
    I was unable to locate your purchase using the information you provided when you signed up for Best Buy Unboxed. I would like to look into this situation on your behalf, but will need more information to begin. If you will please send me a private message that includes your full name, telephone number, order number and/or the Customer Service PIN from your purchase receipt, I'll get started.
    I'm very grateful that you wrote to us with your concerns.
    Sincerely,

  • Will someone please answer this, major iPhone 3GS problem.

    SOMEONE ANSWER ME!!!!!!
    I am almost about to give up hope with this. I have posted FOUR questions with no answers, so someone please answer this one.
    My iPhone 3GS has never  been jailbroken. A couple of months ago now, the bottom half of my iPhone screen became unresponsive so I thought I would try to restore it to see if it would make it alright again. Worst mistake of my life. It is now stuck in recovery mode and will not come out, for anything. I have had various different error messages, i've tried everything. All the software programs, holding home and power and whatever else. Nothing. When trying to restore it, it will come to the last part of the bar and fail. Every single time. I really could do with some help on this one. Please.

    Take a look at this link, http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414  It's look like your iPhone needs to be repaired, the digitizer is damaged and it could be causing the problem of not letting your iPhone completely restore.  Take your iPhone to your nearest Apple store. 

  • SOMEONE PLEASE HELP WITH MISSING FILES XP PROBLEM

    i recently purchased an ipod touch, and all i want to do is get some music on it, and update the firmware, but i cant use itunes, cuz im getting 'there are some files missing' problem.
    I swear to god, if i dont get this fixed by the end of the week, im gonna post the latest video on youtube... on how to smash up apple products.
    Ive been trying NOT to buy apple products since the first dawn of time, but i do actually like the ipod touch. But, low and behold... the very reason why i never buy apple products has been confirmed!
    can someone PLEASE tell me if there is a solid fix for this? i have literally tried EVERYTHING before you ask. im at my wits end.
    Using XP home, all updates installed... latest itunes,

    It will probably help if you'll post the exact error message and when it's occurring. Otherwise we'll just be guessing, not that someone here might not have a good guess. I'm going to guess that this thread might help:

  • SSIS log file created twice, would someone please try this

    I started off trying to explain the behavior, but it got too long and wasn't sure if people would follow it. So rather then trying to explain it, I would like to ask someone to try the following to see if they can dumplicate this odd behavior I am seeing on my side.
    Please follow these steps, and let me know what you get.
    (1) Take any simple working package, and create an SSIS log.
    (2) Use the following for the expression to set the connection string for the log file's connection manager. For simplicity, let's say the file goes in a folder called "C:\SSIS_log\". For you it could be somewhere else.
    Expression:
    "C:\\SSIS_log\\"
    + "logfile_"
    + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "yyyy" , @[System::StartTime]   )
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "mm" ,  @[System::StartTime]  ), 2)
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "dd" , @[System::StartTime]   ), 2)
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "hh" , @[System::StartTime]   ), 2)
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "mi" ,  @[System::StartTime]  ), 2)
    + RIGHT("0" + (DT_STR,4,1252)DATEPART( "ss" , @[System::StartTime]   ), 2)
    + ".txt"
    When you evaluate this expression, you should see that it appends a time stamp that goes down to the minute and second of the package start time.
    (3) Delete any existing files in the log directory.
    (4) Run the package.
    Make the following observations.
    (A) How many log files do you get?
    (B) And what do you see in the log file(s)?
    (C) What time stamp do you have in name of the log file(s)?

    Jia Li said:
    Okay, my take is this: when you execute package in BIDS, BIDS first validate the package and then a new package object is instantiated and executed. The package object used for validation is the same as long as the package is not reopened, so the first log file has the same name. Because the execution phase load package from xml again, it is using a new pakcage object, so expression get re-evaluated and the second log file gets renamed every time.
    Duane Douglas said:
    Jia Li said:
    The @StartTime of the first file is evaluated when you open the package in BIDS. So if you close the package, re-open it and execute, you will get two files again.
    i just remembered that someone else here experienced a similar issue with the starttime variable.  i understand why it needs an intial value when a package is created or opened.  but i don't understand why this value isn't replaced at run-time?  can you please shed some light on this?
    thanks

    ok.  but if i'm not mistaken,  the execution phase doesn't change the value of @starttime to reflect the current system time.  after validation, the execution phase should change the value of @starttime to the current system time.  no?Duane Douglas, MCAD | http://www.ssisbi.com | Please mark the post(s) that answered your question.

  • Ipod 5G video- Fails to charge- please offer advice

    Hi, I have an iPod video 5G which was working perfectly until recently, when i didn't use it for a week; when i went to charge it again it simply showed "Please wait very low battery" against a dark background- i.e. not back-lit- for four whole days. without getting enough charge to turn on.
    Once plugged into a wall charger however, it turned on instantly showing full battery- and didn't charge at all. I could then unplug it (having got it to turn on using wall charger power- avoiding the 3 second image of a empty battery I normally now get when trying to turn on)) and it stayed on for the normal running time, with full brightness and no backlight timer.
    i have no music on it as i have tried multiple resets- getting to disk mode by starting up on the wall charger.
    I have tried everything suggested on the support page, the ipod has never left the case i got for it a year ago, i have the most up to date itunes, I am using USB 2.0- on a port I know i can charge it on, and i have the same problem with other computers. The battery can't be dead because it stays on for hours after booting whilst on a charger...
    Can anyone recommend anything?
    Would buying a new battery fix this??
    Thanks for any helpful ideas...

    Whenever I had a problem, mine use to freeze up and I couldn't do anything with it, even a reset wouldn't work, I would plug it into the wall charger and left it plugged for hours (because when first plugging it nothing would happen) and finally it reset itself and went into the normal charge. I don't know about loosing the music.

  • Would someone PLEASE help me?!?

    I was working on what amounted to a 4 hour slideshow. Months of work. I saved the project, but first emptied the trash as I've always done. This time it froze in mid save for a solid 12 minutes. Assuming that at the very least it would've saved my most recent version (I only changed 2 pictures!) I had no recourse but to "force quit." When I attempted to open the file again & redo the changes I'd just done, the machine said that there were some "missing files that would be skipped. click OK or 'skip all' to continue." Whenever I did that, an error message would pop up saying that "iMovie quit unexpectedly. Report error to Apple..." iMovie won't open the project, or stay on. It'll open other projects, but not this one! Is there any way of retrieving the saved version prior to the changes I made today? I don't know where to look and the prospect of starting months and months of work from scratch has me sick to my stomach. So many fade ins/outs, cross dissolves, wash ins/outs... The truly sickening thing is that the 2 pictures I changed were the final changes. If it'd saved properly there would've been nothing more to do! I do hope that someone will get back to me with some encouraging news.
    Thanks,
    Alex

    Hi Alex
    I whished I could be encouraging. But my main message is:
    DO NEVER TUCH - Trash basket in iMovie in any version.
    a. In many versions it is destruktive
    b. It nevers saves up anything alike the figure written at it.
    c. I've sent several feed-backs to Apple to just delete it.
    • No use-full information
    • No save use at all
    Hopefully someone with mor knowledge can help You to restore Your project.
    I can't and are doubtful.
    I would start a new project from scratch not tuching the old one before somone
    comes by and have "Super knowledge"
    *Next stone that You might stumble over is:* Send/Share/Export to iDVD
    • This function is also lethal:
    • The DVD will be severely pixelated
    • The Original iMovie project will also be HARMED and in need of beeing re-done.
    I do: When done in iMovie I close it.
    Open iDVD
    In iDVD import the iMovie movie project (icon with a Star on it)
    Now iDVD will do the rendering and so much better and without harming Your original.
